The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 263 Can I Trust You?
"Ms. Dong represents Jinwu Media. Although she is one of the producers, she is not responsible for specific matters." Zhang Jizhong glanced at Xu Jiuyang as he introduced this.

Xu Jiuyang sat there, seemingly oblivious to everything, with his eyes closed and his mind focused.

Then Zhang Dahuzi began to introduce Sister Xiaoli: "Ms. Liu is the chairman of Hongchuan Media. Although she also holds the position of producer, she is not responsible for specific affairs and will play the role of Madam Wang in the TV series."

This introduction immediately widened Hu Jun's and the others' eyes. You, the chairman of a prestigious film and television company, are actually acting in a TV series? Are actors' salaries too high, or is the film and television company not making money?

“It’s all so kind of you, I’m really sorry,” Sister Xiaoli said, standing up and bowing slightly. “Actually, the main reason for this is for my daughter.”

As she spoke, she patted the head of the fairy sitting next to her, who lowered her head shyly: "Because I used to be a dancer and now run a media company, my daughter Qianqian also wants to try acting."

Although I didn't recommend her to do that, the little girl was at an age where she was curious, so how could I interfere so roughly? It just so happened that I had worked with Producer Zhang before, so I took my daughter to audition, and she was immediately chosen to play Wang Yuyan.

In addition, Haohao is my goddaughter, and Chenchen is an actress signed under my management. I thought I might as well find a role in the production crew and keep an eye on them. In the end, after the audition, I was confirmed for the role of Madam Wang.

Although I'm an investor, I'm familiar with the TV drama production process, so please rest assured that I will absolutely not interfere with the production. I can give Producer Zhang this guarantee.

After Sister Xiaoli finished speaking, Tianxian immediately stood up and bowed slightly: "I am Liu Qianqian, and I will be playing Wang Yuyan in the TV series. I hope all the brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts will take good care of me. I will do my best to complete my work."

She spoke softly and gently, shy and delicate, with the air of a well-bred young lady.

Hu Jun was the first to applaud, followed by Wu Jing and Xiu Qing, and finally Xu Jiuyang and the others.

Helpless, after hearing that Chen Hao was also Xiaoli's goddaughter, he went completely bewildered. What the hell was going on? Having Yang Rong as a goddaughter was one thing, but how did Chen Hao become a goddaughter too?!

He suddenly remembered that when Li Xiaoran was filming "Love Through Time and Space", he went to visit the set and she mentioned that one of the two female leads, Chen Hao, had a godmother in Hong Kong. So that's how it is!
It's unclear whether Yang Rong exchanged information with Chen Hao; if so, his image might be ruined.

Next came the introductions of the other people, and Zhang Jizhong announced the preparation progress and the start date of filming. Xu Jiuyang could tell that the main purpose of this meeting was to introduce Xiaoli and the others.

After all, with her, Tianxian, Chen Hao, and Yan Danchen, they basically form a small faction. If they don't work things out from the beginning, conflicts after filming starts can be very frustrating.

Now, Sister Xiaoli is no longer the kind of person she was in her previous life, who could only place her hopes on her daughter and was in a state of being completely at the mercy of others.

The meeting quickly came to an end. Sister Xiaoli arrived last but left first, without giving him a second glance throughout the meeting. She only nodded during the introduction, as if it were truly the first time she had met him.

The celestial maiden was the same; she glanced at him curiously a few times during the introduction, but then didn't speak to him again.

Chen Hao, on the other hand, shook hands with Xu Jiuyang when he left, and unsurprisingly hooked his palm with his little finger, his gaze quite resentful, making Xu Jiuyang want to sigh.

"How strange. Although I always make fun of myself by talking about Tang Monk's flesh and ginseng fruit, I'm really not. Why do you all want them..." Xu Jiuyang muttered to himself with a headache as he arrived outside the hotel where the meeting was being held, and then bumped into a little girl.

Before he could even speak, the other person jumped up, clutching their forehead: "You bastard! I was waiting for you to come out, and you're walking around without your glasses on!"

"You are... the boss?!" Xu Jiuyang looked surprised, then slapped his forehead. No wonder he felt like he had forgotten something after filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes ended. It turned out he had forgotten about Yang Mi!
"Oh, you still remember your boss?" Yang Mi also looked surprised, quickly put her hand down, dusted herself off, raised her chin and put on an arrogant expression: "At least you have a conscience."

"If I didn't recognize you, wouldn't I have no conscience?" Xu Jiuyang asked jokingly.

“Of course,” Yang Mi puffed out her chest, “I thought you would call me after you returned to Beijing, but I haven’t heard a single call yet. If I hadn’t come here, you would definitely have forgotten about me!”

"Calling you?" Xu Jiuyang asked, puzzled. "Did you leave me your pager number?" "Didn't I?" Yang Mi retorted.

"No, right?" Xu Jiuyang wasn't very confident, mainly because Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, and Li Yunxin often said that he had said certain things, but he had no recollection of them, making him seem like he had dementia.

What's more, he had actually forgotten when Yang Mi left the Legend of the Condor Heroes crew, otherwise he wouldn't have only remembered after seeing her today.

“Yes, there was,” Yang Mi said, somewhat displeased. “I remember Sister Qing was there too.”

"Is there...?" Xu Jiuyang was still unsure.

"There definitely is. If you don't believe me, just ask her when Tianlong starts filming!" Yang Mi said angrily.

"Oh dear, I just... wait a minute, does Sister Qing have a role in Tianlong?" Xu Jiuyang asked in surprise.

“Of course, I’ll play Dao Baifeng,” Yang Mi hummed.

"Huh?!" Xu Jiuyang was momentarily speechless.

Why is playing mother and son once not enough, why do they have to do it again? If I play Wei Xiaobao in the future, does she have to play Wei Chunhua too?
He slapped his forehead, dismissing the absurd thought, then looked at Yang Mi with a puzzled expression: "How did you know?"

"Of course it's because I also have a role," Yang Mi rolled her eyes. "I play Zhong Ling in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, otherwise why would I come here to see if you're here!"

"You're playing Zhong Ling?" Xu Jiuyang was only confused for a few seconds before recovering.

By now, many characters in TV dramas have changed, so it's normal that Yang Mi was affected and joined the cast of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" earlier to play Zhong Ling. Since she could play Guo Xiang well, there's no reason why she couldn't play Zhong Ling well. At this point in time, she still has some acting skills.

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Yang Mi asked, crossing her arms in annoyance.

"It's nothing, I believe you can do a good job," Xu Jiuyang said with a smile, and patted her head.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the current rosy complexion of Yang Mi, who is no less beautiful than a fairy, seems to make me even more beautiful than she was at the same time in her previous life. It makes me want to give her a good pat.

"Thank you for coming to see me," he said immediately.

"Stop...stop being so vain, I was just saying," Yang Mi suddenly blushed a little, "This meeting wasn't supposed to be for me today, I was just looking for other opportunities, who knew I'd find you here too..."

"Alright, alright, anyway, I'm very happy to see Big Sister again." Xu Jiuyang laughed heartily.

Yang Mi tilted her head, gave a huff that was both self-sacrificing and arrogant, then hesitated as if she had thought of something, and asked in a low voice, "Um, Jiu Yang, can I trust you?"

"Of course, what's wrong?" Xu Jiuyang asked.

"Give me your phone number first." Yang Mi's tone was quite impolite, but her big eyes stared at him without blinking, seemingly nervous.
