The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 272 You Must Attend
This is a paradox. If Xu Jiuyang is, then he should have refused Zhang Yin's advances earlier. If he isn't, then Zhang Yin's suggestion is meaningless.

His words were a subtle way of revealing his true intentions to her. However, to his surprise, the girl, despite her lingering pain, immediately sat down next to him and took his arm, saying, "How will you know if you don't try? Maybe if I become your girlfriend, I can keep them out?"

"I didn't try to seduce her, did I?" Xu Jiuyang was quite puzzled. Why did she act like she was determined to marry no one but him?

Yes, I helped her out and allowed her to show her charming side ahead of time. I also encouraged her during our date yesterday, saying that if she wanted to, continuing to be a model wouldn't be a big deal.

In any case, both Gao Yuanyuan and I can provide her with considerable protection, and she could become Miss World in the future.

But that's all. The previous dates were all very ordinary, more than friends, but it shouldn't have gone this far, right?

"How about this, Yinyin, you or I can find some time to talk to Sister Yuanyuan about this, okay?" Xu Jiuyang asked seriously, suppressing his urge to tell her about the big fight he had with her two good sisters here just a few days ago.

Zhang Yin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go and talk to Sister Yuanyuan."

Xu Jiuyang's lips twitched. His original intention in saying that was to make her back down, and then he would say that he would talk to Gao Yuanyuan about it. This would reduce her aggressive attitude to some extent, and then he would think about how to solve the problem. Who knew that she would agree so readily?

Fortunately, Zhang Yin quickly became embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "However... it may take some time. I need to... I need to think it over."

Oh, so you finally remember that you slept with your best friend's man last night?

Despite thinking this to himself, he remained calm on the surface and patted her head, saying, "There's no rush. If it really doesn't work, I'll go talk to her."

“No,” Zhang Yin refused resolutely. “This is my business, and I should be the one to talk to her.”

Then she shrank back, becoming timid again: "However... I will let you know in advance, it would be best if you were nearby, so that... if anything happens... you can come out and help put in a good word."

Is she trying to shift the blame? Xu Jiuyang chuckled inwardly, but seeing her voice getting lower and lower as she spoke, and her head drooping in embarrassment, he didn't take it to heart.

"Don't worry, back then Ranran and I were still... Sister Yuanyuan didn't care either, she has her own worldview." As he spoke, his voice lowered. It was really awkward to say this in front of a girl, especially since she was her best friend and close friend. He had taken her virginity here last night, and a few days ago he had a great time here with two of her friends.

Xu Jiuyang suddenly realized that his life was becoming increasingly chaotic in some aspects.

But this chaos showed no signs of ending, because Zhang Yin, beaming with joy, once again took his arm: "I'll stay here for the next few days. Anyway, I'm an adult now, and my family can't control me anymore!"

"Fine, fine..." Xu Jiuyang sighed inwardly. Refusing was impossible, especially since... his hand was already on Zhang Yin's thigh, which was truly a leg to play with for years.

However, when I have time, I still need to think about how to subtly hint to Sister Yuanyuan that she should take this girl to meet Li Yunxin or Angela, so that she can understand how unrealistic it is that no woman would covet him if he stood in front of her.

Then Angela came knocking on our door.

"You seem to be quite relaxed." The familiar voice rang in my ears as Xu Jiuyang was chatting and laughing with Hu Jun, Wu Jing, and others.

To be precise, it was a group of them who were practicing their skills talking, and he was listening from the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

Zhang Jizhong still set up a temporary action training class so that the actors could practice their skills, but compared to the Legend of the Condor Heroes era, the time was much shorter.

During the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," at least a month of training was arranged, and with the time spent warming up on set, it was almost two months. Now, a month and a half is considered good. So Xu Jiuyang didn't train with them, and Zhang Jizhong didn't mind. He simply explained to the others that he had trained in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before and had taken on another martial arts drama at the beginning of the year, so his skills hadn't suffered.

This is what they mean by "money can make the devil turn the millstone".

However, he would still occasionally visit the temporary training class. After all, they would be working together for at least four months, and he needed to get to know the other male actors better than ending up all alone.

So, after spending three days with Zhang Yin, coaxing her and fully developing her, Xu Jiuyang came to the training class, ready to mingle with the others.

Not long after, Angela showed up at their door without even saying hello.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Jiuyang looked at her with a strange expression.

"Of course I need to talk to you," Angela said with a smile, arms crossed, then looked at Hu Jun and the others. "This is your partner for this trip?"

“Yes.” Xu Jiuyang was increasingly puzzled, but he still introduced himself, without mentioning his relationship with Angela.

“You have my phone number, just call me if you need anything,” he added.

“If you don’t say it to my face, who knows which of your words are true?” Angela raised an eyebrow. “Maybe you’re here, but you’re saying you’re out of town on the phone.”

Then she continued to scold, "I offered you an assistant, but you didn't want one. If either Jenny or Xiao Qiao were here, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble to call you and then come all the way here."

Xu Jiuyang frowned. In his memory, Angela was not the kind of person who complained like a nagging woman. However, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment. Hu Jun and the others, as well as many staff members, were all curiously observing from the side.

"Just tell me, what is it?" he asked.

“I have an appointment with Chairman Han from China Film Group tomorrow morning. You need to attend,” Angela said readily.

"China Film Group? Chairman Han?" Xu Jiuyang's eyes widened. "No, you really submitted that project?!"

“Of course,” Angela raised her eyebrows and said, “I’ve told China Film Group many times that Hollywood is very optimistic about the ‘Hero’ project and all we have to do is wait for it to be released. But China Film Group isn’t very confident. They’re always worried that if we miss this opportunity, we won’t get another chance, so they want to use a new project to tie me down.”

"Then... what does that have to do with me?" Xu Jiuyang was a little confused. "I've said everything I need to say. You can handle it yourself. You did a great job with the previous 'Hero' too."

"Are you sure?" Angela looked at him with a half-smile. "Are you sure you want me, well, how should I put it, oh, let this foreign woman lead this project?"

"This..." Xu Jiuyang was speechless.

Regarding the production of this blockbuster at this time, he had heard many conspiracy theories in his past life, the most absurd being the clash of various ideologies. They all sounded plausible, but as soon as he thought about how the world was a giant makeshift operation, and saw how those makeshift operations went mad, he felt that these opinions were like slippers slapping him in the face.

Honestly, there are definitely people influencing things with their own ideologies, even in key areas, but to say it was premeditated... well, no matter how crazy Trump goes, there are always people who can interpret his grand schemes. Anyway, no one believes that he's just doing it for money, which explains why conspiracy theories are always so prevalent.
