The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Are you interested in Chapter 277?
“The Venice Film Festival will open on August 27th this year, so we need to arrive no later than August 22nd. Remember to tell the crew.” In the bathroom of the hotel suite, Angela said this to Xu Jiuyang while looking at her eyebrows in the mirror.

Xu Jiuyang, who was washing his face next to him, was a little surprised: "Five days in advance? That can't be right."

“Absolutely,” Angela turned and raised an eyebrow. “Do you know who the judges are this time?”

"Since you've put it that way, there must be someone worth pursuing," Xu Jiuyang said with a light laugh.

“Okay, Gong Li is on the judging panel,” Angela shrugged.

“No wonder,” Xu Jiuyang said with some surprise. “I remember that in 97, she helped Wang Jiawei win the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.”

Then, he thoughtfully stroked his chin: "You didn't get the news earlier, so you gave up on Cannes and went to Venice instead, did you?"

Angela smiled slightly but didn't answer. Instead, she asked him, "So, are you interested?"

"Do you think I'm a teddy bear, someone you want to sleep with just because you see me?" Xu Jiuyang rolled his eyes.

"Who knows? After all, we're all here to serve you. As long as you're happy and you like it, we'll do everything we can to make it happen," Angela said sarcastically.

Then I saw his face with an expression that said, "What are you saying? Say it again."

“Okay,” she rephrased, “I’m just wondering, I arranged a private escort for you, but after all this time, you haven’t called her even once. Do you feel like something’s not going well?”

“She’s in Hong Kong, I can’t just call her over from Hong Kong with a single phone call, can I?” Xu Jiuyang retorted.

“Xu Jiuyang, do you not understand the meaning of ‘private call girl’?” Angela narrowed her eyes. “I’ve put in quite a bit of effort with her, and you just… look down on her?”

Xu Jiuyang's expression was strange, but he still raised his hands and said, "Since you've said that, I'll apologize, okay?"

After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

Angela paused for a moment, then quickly added fuel to the fire: "That won't do."

"Alright, alright," Xu Jiuyang laughed heartily, "How about this, I'll summon Li Jiaxin once a month from now on, that should be fine, right?"

“You really are…” Angela took a deep breath, as if it were a familiar thing. “I’m going to the company now, you can do as you please. Also, the Chinese script for ‘Speed ​​Chase’ is finished, I’ll have Li Xue send it to you, remember to coordinate with her.”

"They even made a Chinese version of that?" Xu Jiuyang asked, somewhat surprised.

"If you don't provide a Chinese version of the outline you provided, how will you make any changes?" Angela asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hmm... I don't need to follow along during filming, do I?" Xu Jiuyang clicked his tongue and asked rhetorically.

“No need for that, but if you have time, you can come along and take a look. Although you know a lot about Hollywood, you haven’t been there in person yet, have you?” Angela said with a smile.

"We'll see," Xu Jiuyang said noncommittally.

Angela didn't say anything more. She quickly tidied everything up and returned to her usual capable appearance before asking Xu Jiuyang, "You got two movie scripts for Fan Bingbing, and she also has a TV series in the second half of the year. Have you thought about how to allocate your time, especially since 'Falling' is definitely going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival?"

Without waiting for a reply, she opened the door and walked away amidst his surprised gaze.

Upon arriving at the lobby of the Great Wall Hotel, Annie, who was already waiting there, handed over a bag of breakfast and said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "If you delay a few more minutes, you'll probably miss the first meeting. You know how bad the traffic is in this city."

“I know, I know,” Angela nodded with a smile, “so I came down at the appointed time.” Anne snorted and turned to leave, while Angela deliberately lagged behind by two seats, admiring her secretary.

Annie's reaction after doing certain things with Xu Jiuyang is always very interesting. Her jealous but forced-to-suppress expression is just too funny.

Although Scarlett Johansson is also very cute, obedient, and accommodating, she still can't compare to dear Anne.

She used to worry that she might lose him after a while, but after acquiring the third skill, she no longer worries. What woman can resist the effects of the second skill?
However, her desires seemed to have grown stronger. When she tested Xu Jiuyang in the suite, it was mostly because she herself was quite interested.

It didn't necessarily involve any deep communication; she mostly just made this woman, who was known as the "Empress Gong," kneel obediently before her and let her do as she pleased.

In fact, if she were to trigger the second skill, she wouldn't receive any feedback herself, so she prefers to watch and use more novel and interesting methods in such situations.

Angela didn't think there was anything wrong with what she was doing. As the owner of the system, she was naturally superior to others. Among them, even the most cautious Gao Yuanyuan looked down on others.

Of course, she will use this power cautiously, but...

The woman eating breakfast in the car frowned slightly, then patted her head. She had been so focused on Blizzard yesterday that she had forgotten about Marvel. She was quite interested in the grand promise he made.

Previous simulations have shown that Marvel's meteoric rise was due to its acquisition by Disney, so from any perspective, there is a need to intercept the deal.

Even if I can't use it myself, I can't let Disney take it.

In any case, Angela is considered new money, especially since she will definitely invest in the IT industry in the future. This will inevitably create structural conflicts with old money, so it is necessary to get involved early on.

Weakening one part is better than causing a little chaos; it's better than being unable to do anything when things come to a head.

Of course, there's no rush. Let's take some time first to simulate the online platform he mentioned.

Although Xu Jiuyang didn't explain in much detail, Angela's intuition told her that this thing had potential—the simulation system deserved a lot of credit for her achievements, but it wouldn't have been possible without her own ability and judgment.

Moreover, based on some future information, it can be judged that in the network-based economy, platforms are very important.

"It's worth it," she told herself.

Then, she went to the company and chaired a meeting, where Angela pulled her secretariat aside for a small meeting.

"I won't go into details, you can handle it yourselves," she said after giving some instructions. "Go out—Du Chen, stay behind."

"Yes, boss." Du Chen Kolos, who was about to go out with Zhang Junning and the others, not only stopped but also stood up straight.

After the office door closed, Angela stood up, walked around the desk to Du Chen, reached out and lifted her chin to examine her closely.

She looked at them with exceptional care, as if she were admiring a work of art—in fact, she was admiring a work of art, as Dhuchen, Jili, and the South African sweetheart she had already acquired were all personally trained by her.

Annie and the other three constitute Angela's core secretarial team. The others, such as Zhang Junning, Chen Qiaoen, Ni Hongjie, and Tang Wei, are merely tools that can be discarded at any time.

As for Li Jiaxin, Xu Gehui, and Yang Lan, they are the most useful of all tools. If Zhang Junning and the others perform well, she might help them out if things go wrong. But if selling Li Jiaxin and the like can bring greater benefits, she won't hesitate at all.
