The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Everything was fine until Chapter 603.
Well, the majority of the responsibility for this matter does lie with someone, because he hadn't seen Li Xiaoran for a while, and she had been deliberately flirting with him, so it was inevitable that she went a bit too far.

Strangely enough, one would normally get tired of eating the same dish too often, but he not only doesn't get tired of it, he also finds new and exciting dishes all the time.

What's even more outrageous is that all women are like this, only to varying degrees—which is why it was said before that there are hierarchical distinctions among them.

Xu Jiuyang's attitude towards this was naturally indifferent. He was joking; there were many things that couldn't be determined, and one more wouldn't make a difference.

Getting back to the main point, after coaxing Li Xiaoran and going over her lines with her for a while, she returned to her usual gentle demeanor when she came out of the dressing room.

In fact, although she seemed to be overflowing with lust at first, she could adjust herself by doing a little something else; after all, she was a professional actress.

Zhang Jing did this to establish her authority; after all, she is a woman, and a very young one at that, even though she has the Jury Prize from the Cannes Film Festival.

When Xu Jiuyang is around, she can rely on him, and when Xu Jiuyang is not around, she can rely on Fan Bingbing. But what if neither of them is around?

Therefore, it is still necessary to establish authority. I had already informed Xu Jiuyang and Li Xiaoran about this beforehand, but at the time I said I would act according to circumstances. I didn't expect the excuse I came up with the next day to be so good.

Li Dabai doesn't have many scenes; his role is mainly to showcase his own characteristics and his relationship with the male lead. Some scenes are copied from the original, but some are original.

In any case, it's definitely better than Song Hye-kyo. Song Hye-kyo was tricked by Wong Kar-wai into filming for three years, only to have all her lines cut.

Even worse off than Song Hye-kyo was Dong Bailian, who worked with the "2046" crew from beginning to end, only to have all her scenes cut. Of course, she didn't have to be too sad in this timeline, because before "2046" was even released, most of the film stock was burned. Although there was still a lot left, it couldn't be edited into a complete movie.

This is also why Wong Kar-wai agreed to gain fame; he urgently needs money now, but unfortunately, he ruined his own career.

Just as Li Xiaoran's scenes were almost finished being filmed, Fan Bingbing returned to the set, bringing with her some unfortunate news: a Hong Kong director who had just started filming "The Warlords" had been in a car accident and was currently in the hospital.

"How about that? Well done, right?" Fan Bingbing asked smugly as she took out her phone and showed Xu Jiuyang the relevant information in the hotel room.

"Won't people make connections?" Xu Jiuyang asked rhetorically.

"What do you think?" Fan Bingbing rolled her eyes at him. "You directly threatened that guy surnamed Wang, how could no one make the connection?"

“Darling, you know what I mean.” Xu Jiuyang chuckled.

"Don't worry, they definitely won't be able to find out," Fan Bingbing said with a proud snort. "This time we've worked together seamlessly."

"Is this necessary?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Isn't it all because of you? Didn't you want to teach them a lesson?" Fan Bingbing snorted again.

“In fact, I not only want to teach them a lesson, I even want to completely kick the Hong Kong team out.” Xu Jiuyang shrugged.

“Kicking them out is no problem, but who will fill the vacancies?” Fan Bingbing asked.

"Do you want to hear what you're saying..." Xu Jiuyang stopped before he could finish speaking, then hissed and gasped, "Um, Fan, what you're saying isn't what I'm thinking, is it?"

"What do you think?" Fan Bingbing asked with a smile.

“…Never mind, you’re right. Who will fill the void left by them?” Xu Jiuyang thought for a moment and then shook his head.

As I said before, this is a systemic problem. If I had time-traveled instead of being reborn in 95, and if I already had the power I have now, it would be very possible for me to unify the entertainment industry in Greater China. But for now, I should carefully define my sphere of influence and then vigorously support Guo Fan and Jiaozi. "In that case, I'll go back to my room." Xu Jiuyang said, about to leave, but before he could get up, Fan Bingbing pulled him back.

"What are you doing?" she asked aggressively. "We're not divorced yet, I'm still your legal wife, and you're going to go see your mistress right in front of me?"

"What are you saying? Weren't you supposed to be back tomorrow?" Xu Jiuyang spread his hands helplessly. "I promised Ranran, and I can't go back on my word."

"So, you're going to openly announce on set that I'm not as good as your mistress?" Fan Bingbing sneered.

"Hmm..." Xu Jiuyang thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true. When she came back today, everyone in the crew saw her and saw him talking to her.

If he went to Li Dabai's place at this time, and then came out of her room the next day, as long as someone saw him, the whole crew would know.

Basically, just like with previous film crews, everyone now knows he has ambiguous relationships with many women—actresses, directors, screenwriters, and even producers.

However, Fan Bingbing was clearly treated differently by someone, so even though they didn't know that he and she had registered their marriage, they would still think of them as a couple.

Then, Li Xiaoran received the same treatment after joining the group, which at least confirms that someone was two-timing.

Generally speaking, people would subconsciously think that Fan Bingbing is the original wife, after all, she is both a national idol and a super-rich woman.

So if someone just pushes it a little, gossip about someone going to find a mistress in front of their wife or girlfriend will spread around the film crew and might even get out of the crew.

After all, gossip is something that's too torturous if you don't share it, and the level of discomfort is directly proportional to the size of the juicy gossip.

As mentioned before, there are already gossip posts on Tianya that hint at Xu Jiuyang's marriage to Fan Bingbing, as well as rumors that Xu Jiuyang is two-timing.

"Fine, since you've put it that way, I definitely can't leave," Xu Jiuyang sighed.

He realized at this point that after Fan Bingbing arrived at the film set in the afternoon, Li Xiaoran quickly came to him, saying that he had agreed to spend the night at her place.

Looking back now, it's likely that Li Dabai had some ulterior motives, which is why he rushed over to ask for a promise.

So, you women, why do you spend all your time fighting and bickering? Can't you put your energy into acting?
The next day, upon arriving at the film set, as expected, Li Dabai glared angrily at someone. However, when Fan Bingbing came over, he would put on a fake smile, as if he didn't care about such things.

However, the atmosphere on set was noticeably oppressive. Even Zhang Jing's voice was much softer when she was explaining the scene. Luckily, Lao Zhao had already finished his scenes and left, otherwise he might have teased him a bit.

Wang Qingxiang wouldn't do that; he's more considerate and would simply ignore it.

Even so, whenever none of the three of them had a chance, Li Dabai would sit down next to Xu Jiuyang and Fan Bingbing, ignoring Fan Bingbing and chatting casually with Xu Jiuyang, making no attempt to hide his intention to steal the man.

Fan Bingbing acted as if she didn't care at all, letting her stay by Xu Jiuyang's side as if she had a very broad mind, but she would often make her blush with a few words.

Caught in the middle, Xu Jiuyang felt helpless. If he could, he would love to pull them together and have sex. Everything was fine before, so how did it turn out like this?

And then that wish came true.
