The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 207 What do they want to do?
"Director Lai Shuiqing?"

"Zhang Guoli plays Cheng Kun?"

"I want to play the roles of Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji?"

Xu Jiuyang looked through the crew list with a strange expression. This was exactly a replica of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber from his previous life. The only difference was that he was the male lead and Fan Qiaoqiao was Zhao Min.

"What's the problem?" Fan Qiaoqiao asked with a smile.

This is a big problem! Xu Jiuyang said this in his heart, but on the surface he asked seriously: "Well, when did you...did you meet Teacher Zhang Guoli when you were guest starring in "Kangxi's Private Visits"? "

He almost bit his tongue and subconsciously wanted to ask her how she knew Zhang Guoli, but suddenly remembered that there was a record of her guest appearance in the resume he had read, so he quickly changed his words.

Alas, habitual thinking is not good. Even though he has reminded himself again and again that Fan Qiaoqiao is now playing Xiaoyanzi, he still occasionally thinks of her as Jinsuo.

"Yes, no matter what, Teacher Zhang and the others are our own people. They are not the same as those guys from Hong Kong and Taiwan. This is my first time as a producer, so I must unite the majority." Fan Qiaoqiao argued confidently.

"Oh, you've learned the theory of contradiction quite well." Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow and gave a thumbs-up. "I only have two questions."

"Go ahead." Fan Qiaoqiao crossed his arms.

"First of all, I don't like your father, the emperor. Find someone else to play Yang Xiao." Xu Jiuyang said this first.

"It's a bit difficult. The invitation has already been sent, but it's not impossible," Fan Qiaoqiao thought for a moment. "But, Mr. Xu, what good will it do me?"

She narrowed her eyes, a smirk on her face, but Xu Jiuyang spread his hands and said, "It's very simple. I will play the roles of Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji well."

After being stunned for a long moment, Fan Qiaoqiao finally came to his senses and glared at him with gritted teeth: "Alright - then, do you have any suggestions for substitutes?"

"Well, let's find Teacher Wei Zi. He is a friend of my old man and he also took care of me last time on the set of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Besides, his age is not a problem either." Xu Jiuyang said.

He never expected that he would regret it so much in the end after wanting to do a favor.

"What's the second question?" Fan Qiaoqiao asked immediately.

"Where's the form for the actresses?" Xu Jiuyang looked at her. "You only gave me the forms for the actors and general staff."

"Unfortunately, this is up to us to decide." Fan Qiaoqiao smiled again.

"You guys?" Xu Jiuyang raised his eyebrows, but was not very surprised.

"Of course, I, Sister Yuanyuan, and Miss Li San decided together," Fan Qiaoqiao said proudly. "Of course, since Ms. Lin Dewo also invested, we may have to ask her opinion in the end to see if she has any suitable actresses to sign with her."

Xu Jiuyang was speechless. He spent about ten seconds recalling that in the book The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, there were at least ten female characters with names.

So, what do they want to do?
Of course, he didn't ask. Even if he knew, what could he do? Could he change their minds?

"Very good. We will arrange the first gathering after New Year's Day, in early January at the earliest, and late January at the latest, so that everyone can get to know each other." Fan Qiaoqiao nodded in satisfaction. "Remember to be well prepared, Xu."

"No problem, if your efficiency is really that high." Xu Jiuyang shrugged.

Fan Qiaoqiao looked him over for a few times, probably feeling that it wasn't enough, so he immediately added, "Oh, there's one more thing. Since this is my first time as a producer, I'm definitely lacking in experience, so I asked Miss Li San to borrow Dong Qing."

"What?" Xu Jiuyang had an expression like "old man using a cell phone on the subway."

Fan Qiaoqiao laughed heartily, jumped up from his chair, and skipped away.

Well, it seemed like neither she nor they seemed to care about certain things, which was obviously not right.

Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out why something was wrong. Although he had some guesses, they seemed too exaggerated and impossible.

Not to mention this, as the last shot was completed, Lonergan, as the director, announced that the crew had officially wrapped up filming.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although this film didn't require many scenes, and the props, costumes, and special effects were relatively simple, the overall atmosphere was quite depressing. Now that filming had wrapped, it was a good time to relax. Next up was naturally the wrap party. Although Fan Qiaoqiao was the second female lead, she had no intention of attending and simply left.

Xu Jiuyang originally wanted to leave, but Tang Wei personally asked him to stay, so he had no choice but to stay.

It's just one more night here. Anyway, I don't have a girlfriend waiting for me at home, so it doesn't matter.

Then--

"Can I come in?" Li Xue knocked on the door and looked at Xu Jiuyang with a smile.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Jiuyang moved aside: "What's the matter?"

"If there's nothing going on, can't you come?" Li Xue said with a smile.

"It's not your first day on the crew," Xu Jiuyang shook his head. "Tell me, how can I help you?"

After a moment of silence, Li Xue continued, "I was there when Ms. Lin Dewo came to look for you and Xiaoyanzi that day."

"Yes." Xu Jiuyang nodded.

"Then, can you let me be responsible for the script of that new movie? It's okay if I don't sign my name." Li Xue took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Oh?" Xu Jiuyang was a little surprised, but not particularly surprised.

It has been said before that when she was still Li Qiaoqiao, she would do anything to climb up the ladder. Now seeing him getting along well with both Fan Qiaoqiao and Angela, and even having them both embraced, how could she not have some ideas?

The fact that she could restrain herself from coming now was a testament to her fortitude.

"In principle, I have no objection. After all, it was you who polished "The Dark Side". Also, don't say anything about not having your name signed in the future. I believe Angela will not treat her own people unfairly in this regard." Xu Jiuyang said.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful.

"Well, that's it. I'll organize the outline and send it to you via email. Remember to save all the original materials." Xu Jiuyang stood up.

Li Xue pursed her lips, hesitation showing in her eyes, and then the doorbell rang.

Xu Jiuyang raised his eyebrows, walked over and opened the door. As expected...it was strange!
Standing outside the door were Hao Ling, who was wearing a windbreaker as usual, and Tang Wei, who was dressed similarly.

"Can we go in and talk?" Tang Wei smiled sweetly.

"Hmm..." Xu Jiuyang coughed lightly and moved away as before, and then they saw Li Xue sitting inside, looking quite uneasy.

But Tang Wei and Hao Ling did not hesitate. They went straight into the room and closed the door.

"Li Xue is here too. Do you want to come together?" Tang Wei asked directly.

"Ah?" Li Xue looked at them in confusion until they took off their coats.

"Well... could you please be a little more particular?" Xu Jiuyang had a headache.

"We didn't expect her to be here." Tang Wei shrugged nonchalantly, then looked at Li Xue again.

Stunned Li Xue finally reacted and tried to stand up immediately, but her calves felt weak and she only made an upward movement and then sat back down.

"Are you willing or not?" Tang Wei laughed.

"This isn't good..." Xu Jiuyang wanted to say something, but then he heard her say, "Mr. Xu, you don't want to be punished by the boss for not providing good service, do you?"

Have you ever studied in Japan? He couldn't help but cover his forehead, and Li Xue bit her lip and finally stood up, her eyes bright: "I do!"
