Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 157: "My Fair Princess 3" This drama is a bit annoying
Seeing Fan Xiaopang get back into the car, Yang Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to Fan, she has a better relationship with Dong Xuan.

If I really discovered something, I would feel a little sorry for my friend if I didn't tell Dong Xuan.

But if I tell it, I will feel sorry for my other friend, and more importantly, I can't afford to offend Yan Li.

She had been struggling with what happened in the private room. She could explain that Yan Li helped his friend out of trouble, but if Fat Fan left with Yan Li and did not return home that night, she really couldn't justify it.

Seeing Yang Xue's expression, Fan Xiaopang took the initiative to explain that Yan Li was just acting and had other purposes besides helping her.

She didn't steal the man, so naturally she didn't want to take the blame, nor did she want any misunderstandings or conflicts with Dong Xuan because of this.

Maybe she will be her boss's wife in the future, and she can't stand her pillow talk.

Yang Xue had no idea what was going on in her mind, but she appeared to believe it without a doubt.

"That's what I guessed. Mr. Yan is a very loyal person. He stands up for his friends without hesitation."

Fan Xiaopang hoped that Yang Xue would think so, but when she actually said it, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

What loyalty was she emphasizing, as if she didn't deserve Yan Li's wrath for his beloved?!
However, she didn't say anything, and after she had moved on, she started talking about the drama "Investiture of the Gods".

The script of "Investiture of the Gods" has been released. Although it is still being refined, it has taken shape.

The male lead of this drama is undoubtedly Jiang Ziya, and the female lead is Daji played by Fan Xiaopang.

After all, there are only so many female characters in "Investiture of the Gods", and Daji is undoubtedly the character with the most screen time and the strongest presence, so even though she is a villain, she is still the leading female character.

Especially in the early scenes, Daji bewitched King Zhou and brought chaos to the world, and her role was very important. In the middle and late stages, when King Zhou of Shang attacked the Zhou Dynasty, the scenes were more focused on the battlefield.

Apart from Daji, there are not many female characters in the first part, and they mainly revolve around King Zhou's harem.

The three Xuanyuan monsters, headed by Daji, have the most important roles, followed by Queen Jiang, Yang Guifei, and Huang Niangniang. Then there is Zixian, who has some roles with King Wu and is set to be the daughter of Bigan.

At Yan Li's suggestion, the role of King Wu was greatly reduced and given to Nezha, Yang Jian and others, but there are still some roles and a love line.

The main reason is that there are many beautiful women on King Zhou's side who are trying to seduce him and have sex with him.

The Western Zhou Dynasty is the main perspective, but thinking about war every day is too boring, so it needs to be adjusted appropriately and the plot is not very interesting.

Nezha and Yang Jian are not easy to add, so here comes King Wu. He also makes a perfect pair of a wise king and a virtuous queen, in contrast to the foolish king and the evil queen, King Zhou and Daji.

In addition, there are characters such as Madam Yin (Nezha's mother), Shiji, and Nuwa. These characters have relatively fewer roles and are minor supporting roles or guest appearances.

Fan Xiaopang originally wanted to help Yang Xue win over the other two of the Three Xuanyuan Demons and Zixian. After all, they have more roles besides Daji, and they will appear in the second part.

Like Queen Jiang and Lady Huang, after they were killed by Daji, there was no second part.

But judging from the situation at the dinner just now, Cheng Lidong wanted to promote the girl named Wu Jiani, and Yanli Company also wanted to promote someone, and they all had their eyes on the Three Xuanyuan Monsters.

There is only Zixian left, and the competitive pressure is still quite great.

After all, it is a project worth tens of millions of dollars and it is a famous mythological masterpiece. There are probably many actresses who are interested in it, and it is hard to say whether there are investors who can get them in.

If Yan Li hadn't spoken and Cheng Lidong hadn't supported him, Fan Xiaopang would have worried that his Daji would be snatched away.

Therefore, Fan Xiaopang asked Yang Xue to be mentally prepared that the result might not be satisfactory.

Yang Xue was fine. Little-known actors like them didn't have much right to choose. When they came across such projects, they would try their best to fight for them and then leave it to fate.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate!
Fan Xiaopang brought her here today to introduce her to the producer. It was great that he had both face recognition and recommendation. It was much better than her submitting a resume.

"In fact, I think that instead of dwelling on Investiture of the Gods, I should try The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng. There should be a lot of roles in that drama."

Fan Xiaopang came up with another idea. Yang Xue smiled bitterly. She had already followed Dong Xuan's path.

But it’s difficult!

"Investiture of the Gods" is a man's play. Except for Daji, the other characters are actually not that attractive.

Although "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" also focuses on Lu Xiaofeng and other protagonists, the female characters have many highlights and are easier to promote. In addition, the project is well-known, so it is actually more popular among actors in the industry than "Investiture of the Gods".

Especially for actors like them who have some fame but are not very popular, they are particularly fierce in competing for the roles.

Yang Xue counted on her fingers for Fan Xiaopang and found that among the seven fairies, except for Shuang Bing and Dong Xuan who had confidence, all the others had signed up.

"Humph."

Fat Fan snorted lightly. No wonder someone looked so smug. With so many beauties eager to be on stage, some of them must have taken shortcuts.

"Please remind Dong Xuan to keep a close eye on them. There are so many actresses, don't let them get caught."

Fatty Fan suggested kindly, and Yang Xue looked at her calmly: "Yeah."

There was no need for her to remind her. Dong Xuan wanted to run to Yan Li's company and watch him work.

To be honest, Yang Xue did envy Dong Xuan for having such a boyfriend with great potential, but after getting to know him better, she realized that while there were many advantages, there were also some troubles.

When a man is too successful, other women throw themselves at him, and the pressure is really great.

...

On the other side, Yan Li returned home. Qin Lan handed him some honey water to sober him up, took off his coat and prepared to put it in the washing machine. She turned around and put the coat in front of her nose and sniffed it twice.

Well, just the smell of alcohol.

Yan Li looked at Qin Lan silently, and when she came back, he stretched his arm in front of her nose.

"I sometimes take off my coat when I eat. Do you want to smell it here too?"

"Who smelled it?"

Qin Lan's pretty face turned red, and she refused to admit her behavior, and Yan Li didn't care.

It doesn't matter what he smells. It's normal to have some perfume on your hair when you go to KTV. He is innocent and not afraid of suspicion.

If he really did something bad, how could he not deal with it cleanly before going home?

"Drinking too much makes me dizzy."

Yan Li lay on Qin Lan's thighs, humming and moaning. Qin Lan adjusted his position, then skillfully stretched out her slender fingers to massage his head.

"By the way, I checked the internet cafe's bill today. It's a little bit higher than last month. It might be because the weather is getting colder."

"Well, a slight fluctuation is normal."

Yan Li closed his eyes and listened to Qin Lan talking to him about the Internet cafe.

Dong Xuan is not filming, she is a teacher at school, she has her own things to do and doesn't think about him every day.

Similarly, if Qin Lan is not filming, it is not a good thing for her to stay at home every day, so she needs to be given something to do.

Women can't be too idle, because if they are too idle, they will find fault with men.

Yan Li was reluctant to let Qin Lan participate in the company's affairs, as it would have a bad influence within the company and would easily be run into by Dong Xuan. He was also reluctant to let Qin Lan do work that was too busy and tiring, so he designed some trivial but not laborious tasks for Qin Lan.

The Internet cafe owner is one of them.

She doesn't have to do any specific work. She just needs to check the stores every now and then, check the accounts, and play some supervisory role. Three Internet cafes are enough to keep her busy for a while.

In addition, Yan Li was also responsible for the renovation of the new house Qin Lan had agreed to buy. If the workload was insufficient, Yan Li would also consider giving Qin Lan several other properties for rent.

This trick worked for Qin Lan, and it can also be used on Dong Xuan. She can attend classes during the week, and renovate and collect rent on weekends and holidays.

The work is not tiring, but it consumes time and energy. At the same time, it is a way to help the family and get paid. Both of us work hard and are in a good mood.

Yan Li had never thought that investing in real estate could have this benefit.

Killing two birds with one stone, that’s great!

Qin Lan pressed for a while and felt her fingers were sore, so she changed to kneading, and at the same time brought up another matter.

"Ma Yili called me today and said she and that director Guan Hu broke up."

"Ok?"

Yan Li opened his eyes: "What does she mean?"

Yan Li’s investment in the drama “Survival of Migrant Workers” was arranged by Ma Yili.

Now that he and Guan Hu have broken up and the middleman is gone, is he going to pull out the ladder?
"She didn't say much, just that she had wanted to treat us to a meal to celebrate when the TV series aired, but now that we've broken up, there's no way we can get together, so she'll thank us individually next time."

"Also, she's saying that her breakup with Guan Hu is a private matter. She won't be involved in this project, but it won't hinder our collaboration. I'm being clear about this upfront, so I hope you don't overthink it."

Yan Li closed his eyes again, pondered for a moment, and said, "She is much more tactful than those Guan guys."

With the intelligence system at his disposal, how could Yan Li hide the private thoughts of these two people?

Guan Hu has the ability to be a director, but Yan Li really looks down on his personality, but he is just too lazy to pay attention to him.

On the other hand, although Ma Yili appears shrewd and selfish, she does things in a decent manner and is much more highly regarded by Yan Li.

but……

Yan Li counted on his fingers the more important female characters in "My Fair Princess 3".

Huang Yi and Ma Yili both broke up within a year or two.

Jiang Qinqin has not had an easy time in the past two years. She is a director of a certain province, a producer, and seems to be involved with a rich second-generation man. She is constantly involved in scandals.

There is also Liu Tao. She and Hu Jun became famous on Tianya for the role in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and there were also various rumors about her and Zhang Da Huzi. Her love life has not been smooth.

Isn’t this crew a bit annoying!?

But thinking about the fact that Wang Yan, the actress who played Qing'er, has always been quite stable, Yan Li felt relieved.

There are so many breakups and reunions in the entertainment industry. Not to mention the entertainment industry, breaking up between young men and women in real life is commonplace nowadays. Times have changed.

Thinking of this, Yan Li reached out and held Qin Lan's hand: "Don't play with them too much, it's okay to play, but don't listen to their nonsense."

They break up as soon as they have a disagreement. If this kind of personality is mixed with Qin Lan, if anything happens, she might start to instigate a quarrel between her and Yan Li.

Many times, the bad things happen because of these so-called best friends.

"You're fine, what are you afraid of?"

Qin Lan pinched Yan Li's nose with amusement: "Did you do something bad and feel guilty?"

"You don't know whether I am weak or not."

Yan Li didn't accept the challenge, but started to speak dirty words instead, which made Qin Lan so angry that she pressed his nose into a pig's nose, then took out her mobile phone to take a picture of Yan Li. Yan Li snatched the phone and started to take the same ugly pictures of Qin Lan, wanting to be embarrassed together.

Initially, I massaged my nose, but later I massaged more and more places, and the location also changed, from the living room to the bedroom...

----

The next day, Yan Li got up early to go to work. After he left, Qin Lan packed up and got into her red BMW 3 Series.

Because it was inconvenient to go to the Internet cafe to check accounts or supervise the renovations without a car, Yan Li bought a car for Qin Lan.

Qin Lan chose the car herself. Yan Li disagreed with the cheap one, but she didn't want to buy one that was too expensive, so she chose an entry-level BMW.

Although it is an entry-level model, the landing price is almost 30 yuan. In today's era, it can barely be called a luxury car.

It is worth mentioning that Yan Li also bought one for Dong Xuan.

The price is almost the same as Qin Lan's BMW 40 Series, but considering that she works at a school and wants to keep a low profile, she didn't buy eye-catching cars like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but chose a simple-style Volvo S.

For many ordinary people who don’t know much about cars and only recognize a few famous brand logos, they probably think it is just a means of transportation, but they don’t know that it is equivalent to a small apartment in Beijing.

Qin Lan drove to her and Yan Li's new home to check on the progress of the renovation.

The new house is very close to Guanghuali, only more than ten minutes' drive away. It is the Shuangjing R&F City which was just launched this year.

This community is considered a high-end community in Beijing today. Its advantages are that it is new and adjacent to the China World Trade Center CBD. It has obvious location advantages and is said to have attracted many celebrities and business people to live there.

The house that Yan Li and his family bought is not particularly large, with four bedrooms and an area of over 170 square meters, and the total price is over 200 million.

The original order was for an apartment of over 140 square meters, but later Yan Li had some money and felt that he couldn't compromise himself, so he increased the price.

In fact, a house worth more than 200 million yuan is not particularly expensive in Beijing, and luxury houses worth tens of millions are not rare nowadays.

But Yan Li felt that he was still working hard on his career and it was not the time to enjoy life. After all, there were only two of them, so they might as well get a similar house to last for a few years and then buy a luxury house.

Yan Li had an average opinion of the house, but Qin Lan was very satisfied with it. She was even a little dazed when she first came to see the house.

Such a big house, I can’t live in it!

Qin Lan is an actress and has seen the world. She has filmed movies in villas before, but that was a filming location, and this is her own home, so they are two completely different concepts.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Qin Lan was looking at the unfinished house, she had already thought about which room would be for her and Yan Li's child, and how to divide the room if she had a second child.

Well, with family planning, it would be best to have twins, a boy and a girl...

With these visions in mind, Qin Lan was particularly enthusiastic when decorating.

He personally took care of matters such as design, material selection, and decoration. During the filming of "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty", he chatted with designers and decoration companies almost as many times as Yan Li, and he did not find it troublesome at all and enjoyed it.

I walked around the new house a few times, took some photos, and turned back to show them to Yan Li as a souvenir.

It was not until noon that Qin Lan left her new home and sat in the car. After hesitating for a moment, she called Ma Yili.

Her relationship with Ma Yili was not particularly good before, they were just ordinary friends, or even worse.

But after the collaboration on the project "Survival of Migrant Workers", out of gratitude and the desire to make friends, Ma Yili often looked for Qin Lan to play with her, and as time went by, their relationship became closer.

Qin Lan has a cheerful and generous personality, and is delicate and gentle at heart. She knows how to take care of and tolerate others, so if she wants, it is easy for her to make friends.

Although she had some reservations about Ma Yili, she did not think she was a bad person.

It’s okay in normal times, everyone just treats each other as normal friends, and the closeness depends on fate.

But now the other party has broken up, and from the sound of it, he is quite sad. She knows it, and it is not easy to pretend nothing happened.

After sending a text message to Yan Li, Qin Lan planned to go see Ma Yili and comfort her...
