The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 202 You Are the Only One Left
"Mr. Fan, it's your turn." Qin Lan walked over at this time.

"I'll be right there," Little Fan Ye nodded, then grabbed Xu Jiuyang's hand again, putting on a serious and sincere expression, "Please, Xu."

Ignoring his rolled eyes, she hummed a little tune and went to find the makeup artist to touch up her makeup.

The filming went smoothly. Although there were some minor setbacks along the way, they didn't affect anything.

This little setback was not a problem with her acting skills. By relying on the simulation system to repeatedly recreate the scene of the next day, she could easily understand the director's preferences and the emotions he needed. Although it did not help much in honing her acting skills, being useful and applicable is obviously better than being omnipotent. Otherwise, why do we say that the fittest survive, not the good.

Besides, she is acting most of the time, but she is acting in real life, and she has not neglected the honing of her acting skills. It’s just that the transition is a little troublesome, but she is really good at it.

So…so the little twist was actually Angela coming to the set.

"I didn't expect you to come here. Do you think something happened?" Little Fan Ye asked with a smile after greeting Angela.

"No, I just came here to take a look." Angela raised an eyebrow and said, "After all, I'm hoping this movie will win an award or something."

"Oh, I just came to take a look." Little Fan Ye stretched out his voice and laughed like a fox that stole a chicken.

"I heard that he had some conflict with the director before. Do you know what happened?" Although Angela narrowed her eyes, she still asked calmly.

"I don't believe you don't know. Even though we have an agreement that you have to notify me before the simulation, I should be able to infer what the problem is." Little Fan Ye said with a smile.

"My own inference is one perspective, and listening to other people's description is another perspective." Angela remained unmoved.

"Forget it, you're such a stubborn guy," Little Fan Ye could only give up, "Then just observe slowly."

Even so, after a pause, she once again revealed her cunning smile. "However, Miss Li San should have gotten what she wanted, just like us. Now it's just you. If you keep dragging your feet, you'll probably drift further and further away from us."

After saying that, he left without any hesitation and without giving Angela a chance to ask any questions.

But Angela had no intention of asking. How could she not understand the meaning behind the other person's words? So although she appeared calm on the surface, she had already clenched her fists.

"Angie?" Annie came over at this time.

"Nothing. Miss Fan wants to use this method to tell the rest of the crew that she and I have a special relationship." Angela said lightly, "When the crew takes a break, let's have Mr. Lonergan come over."

She actually didn't have anything to ask. Fan Qiaoqiao was right. Even without simulation, she could tell what Xu Jiuyang and Lonergan had argued about. These American directors might be very obedient in Hollywood, but when they go abroad, especially in the current atmosphere in China, even the most honest ones will develop unnecessary concerns in the flattery.

However, Angela did not scold him. She was very skilled in manipulating people, not to mention that Xu Jiuyang had helped to play the good guy before.

"As long as you can fulfill the contract well, Mr. Lonergan, all my previous promises are valid, do you understand?" Angela said to the director.

For a new director like Lonergan, who has just switched careers from screenwriter, nothing is more attractive than the promise of more money. Although "You Can Count on Me", which he wrote and directed last year, was nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, its box office was very mediocre. If the cost was not low enough, with an investment of only 100 million US dollars, it might even have lost money.

In Hollywood, for a new director, there is nothing more terrible than losing money.

"Of course, Ms. Lindwall, of course." Lonergan also reassured again and again.

He didn't know that Angela had indeed promised to raise investment for his next movie, but raising investment was one thing, and whether the deal could be reached was another.

After the director left, the lead actress Hao Ling and Mingdeng Pictures' director Tang Wei followed into the temporary lounge. "How is it?" Angela asked Hao Ling bluntly.

"Before Miss Fan came, I would go to Mr. Xu's room every night, and he never refused me." Hao Ling lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "I think he is at least... still very interested in my body."

Angela didn't say anything, but looked at Tang Wei, who then showed a look of shame: "Sorry, ma'am, my main focus is on the movie, really..."

"It doesn't matter. Things have their priorities. You're not wrong," Angela shook her head first, then emphasized, "But after the movie is finished, you have to get yourself out."

"Yes, ma'am!" Tang Wei responded immediately.

Angela then looked at Hao Ling again and said, "If Fan Qiaoqiao is still here, you can go and help Tang Wei gain some experience. If necessary, you two can go together."

"Yes, ma'am." Hao Ling and Tang Wei both bowed.

After they left, Angela breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her forehead with her hand, her expression not looking very good.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that the women here in China, although very obedient after “training”, are still a little bit inferior to American girls... or even Taiwanese girls.

Both Zhang Yuning and Scarlett were very docile. Not to mention Du Chen and Ji Li who took action early. Not only did they do whatever they were told, they were also very proactive.

On the Chinese mainland, only Tang Wei is currently performing somewhat unsatisfactorily, which makes her quite unhappy as she is used to having everything under control.

"So, the only way to acquire new skills is to sleep with him?" Angela sighed.

Although Fan Qiaoqiao's previous words were vague, from her tone and expression, as well as the fact that Xu Jiuyang asked for leave to see Li Yunxin and stayed overnight a few days ago, it was obvious what the so-called getting what they wanted meant.

"That's right. How could the devil let me take advantage of him? If I want to have an average or lower-level ending, of course I have to maintain a closer relationship with him..." Angela grunted, gritting her teeth.

She walked back and forth in the lounge twice, and finally came out with determination. However, when she saw Annie waiting outside, her heart still trembled.

But Angela did not stop. She walked around the staff and came to Xu Jiuyang.

"I want to talk to you." She said this and then looked at Fan Qiaoqiao.

"No problem, just chat." Fan Qiaoqiao smiled, raised his hands and stood up.

Xu Jiuyang looked at her, then at Angela, frowning as if he felt something was strange.

"By the way, Anji," Fan Qiaoqiao added, using his nickname, "Student Xu has agreed to tailor a movie script for me, intending to compete for awards. Are you interested in investing?"

"Really?" Angela raised an eyebrow. "I don't mind. After all, we worked pretty well together on this movie."

"By the way, I'm currently planning a TV series. Are you interested?" Fan Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "Miss San is very interested."

Angela took a deep breath and said, "How about this? I'll write you a blank check and you can fill it out as you like within the normal range. How about that?"
