The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 190 The tug of war in communication
"Ling Lin, played by Hao Ling; Yu Xing, played by Fan Qiaoqiao; Liu Shan, played by Zhao Yan; Ling Lin's mother, played by Lu Zhong..." Xu Jiuyang was a little confused as he looked through the information.

Although he knew that Fan Qiaoqiao was playing a supporting role this time to boost the profile of Angela's contracted artists, but...Hao Ling?
"She is the actor you signed?" Xu Jiuyang asked.

"Yes, although she is not particularly beautiful, she is very voluptuous, and both Eastern and Western people like her." Angela said with a smile, "I think you should like her too."

"It's... okay." Xu Jiuyang replied dryly.

"That's too much of a stretch," Angela said, feigning displeasure. "Do you expect me to ask her to wear ABC makeup?"

Xu Jiuyang was speechless. This woman always managed to hit the weak spot. It was fun to watch when she used it on Lao Mouzi and others, but it was not nice to use it on herself.

"What about Shen Aojun?" He asked again while looking at Zhao Yan's information.

Shen Aojun is her stage name. Her real name is Zhao Yan. She was quite famous around the turn of the millennium, especially for her role as Sai Xishi in "The Divine Doctor Xilaile" two years later. She also played Zuo Lan in "The Disguiser".

She just met the wrong person and married a liar who said he was a diplomat, but in fact... it's normal. Since the mid-90s, all kinds of liars have been rampant in the entertainment industry. The most typical example is Princess Qing's husband. He thought he was marrying into a wealthy family, but after entering the family, he had to serve tea and water every day. After he became impoverished, he had to come back to make money.

But it's normal. Most of the girls who can enter the entertainment industry these days are from middle-class families. They have seen a lot of the world, but not much. When they are swept up in the atmosphere of worshipping foreigners and pursuing money, how can they not be deceived?

But Zhao Yan's situation is a little different. Her husband's identity... in short, there is a lot of story to tell. Under such circumstances, she can still stay in the circle and play the role of Deng Nan. It can only be said that some people are indeed bad.

"She was handed over to me by someone. Her acting skills were okay, so I agreed," Angela replied calmly, "You know, I have to find a few more partners while I'm here."

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang raised his eyebrows.

Then she said leisurely, "Of course, there are also many scammers who come here after smelling the scent."

"As long as you understand it," Xu Jiuyang said without further ado, placing the documents on his desk. "Is 'Hero' still filming going on? Just a few days ago, I seemed to have seen a media report that due to environmental concerns, the fight scene in the poplar forest can only be filmed for two hours a day?"

"You're mistaken. It was the lakeside fight scene showcasing martial arts skills. Because of the glare, we could only shoot for two hours a day," Angela sighed. "I understand why you suggested bringing the large-scale studio system here. The Chinese crews are so unprofessional. When we were filming the battle scene in Dunhuang in September, not a single one of them thought to contact the Meteorological Bureau to inquire about the expected sandstorms."

It's normal. Before Cyber ​​Succubus, everyone had thought about optimizing the process and making a table... Although Xu Jiuyang muttered this in his heart, he still defended himself on the surface: "The weather is difficult to accurately predict."

"Really? It's almost November, and we have to go to the grassland for a filming location shoot, but no one has taken the initiative to report and express their concern for the actors' heating." Angela snorted.

Xu Jiuyang could only touch his nose awkwardly.

Fortunately, she didn't continue the topic: "Anyway, filming will start in November at the Huairou studio and will be completed by the end of December. I will personally supervise the progress, so there will be no problem."

"Okay, now that you've said that," Xu Jiuyang sighed, "But does this director, Kenneth Lonergan, have any famous works?"

"He's a good screenwriter. His film 'You Can Trust Me' was released in January this year. It was a mediocre box office hit, but the emotions are quite delicate. He's a great tool director," Angela said. "All I want him to do is listen and not think about showing off."

"Then I have no objection - by the way, did you call me here just for this?" Xu Jiuyang asked.

Then he saw her rubbing her fingers together.

Xu Jiuyang blinked, rubbed his fingers, and then fell into deep thought.

Angela rolled her eyes: "No reward?" "I'll pay you?" Xu Jiuyang opened his eyes wide when he understood what she meant.

"Of course, I made this movie with the expectation of not making any money, and there will only be more movies like this in the future," Angela said confidently, "I think I deserve compensation."

"There are people who do business that will get them killed, but no one does business that will lose money. It's just that they don't make money, not that there is no benefit." Xu Jiuyang was unmoved and glanced at Li Xue beside him.

At this moment, she looked as if she was watching her nose and her heart, like an old monk in meditation, hearing nothing.

"I've seriously considered your plan and plan to find an opportunity to implement it," Angela looked at him. "Fan Qiaoqiao also told her what you made for her. I have to say, it's very bold and feasible."

"Are you sure?" Xu Jiuyang raised his eyebrows.

"Others may not be able to do it, but I have absolutely no problem." Angela raised her eyebrows. Although she kept smiling, her egocentric tone was particularly obvious.

After smacking his lips, Xu Jiuyang asked, "What do you want?"

"Money-making ideas," Angela said without hesitation. "You can find certain loopholes and use them to formulate plans for Fan Qiaoqiao. Naturally, you should be able to see other things and use them to formulate plans for me."

"You really think highly of me," Xu Jiuyang rolled his eyes. "It's easy for you to make money in the US. The Nasdaq dot-com bubble has already burst. If any IT-related stock or any other website comes up, you can buy it and sell it when it doubles. You're bound to make money."

"What if I want to hold it for a long time?" Angela asked again.

Xu Jiuyang was a little impatient and was about to say something, but suddenly realized something and closed his mouth. After pretending to think for several minutes, he said, "I need to collect information first. I can't make a plan out of thin air."

"No problem. Do you want me to send Jenny over to continue being your assistant?" Angela asked again.

"That's not necessary." Xu Jiuyang shook his head and stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

"Remember to report to the crew on time." Angela didn't try to keep him.

So, when the door closed, she looked at Li Xue again: "Well, Ada, what do you think of him?"

"Well, my first impression is that he's handsome," Li Xue said with a light cough. "Then, he's very observant, quick to react, and knows a lot. Also, he seems to like to keep things to himself, and only reveals a few things when pressed."

She quickly added, "Of course, this last part is based on my inference from his conversation with Ms. Lindworth, so it may not be accurate."

"That's pretty good," Angela nodded. "With this kind of observation, you won't have to worry about being deceived by your subordinates when you become a producer in the future."

She stood up and said, "If Xu Jiuyang's advice to me is truly implemented, then how a film is produced will no longer be decided by the director, but by the screenwriter who also serves as the producer. Ada, you are my key training target, and your sister is also doing well in her further studies in the United States. Don't let me down."

"I won't, Ms. Lindworth." Li Xue stood up and bowed, trying hard to suppress her excitement.

"That's it. Your main task for this shoot is to learn more and watch more. I hope you can stand on your own soon." Angela waved her hand.
