The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 278 Bad News and Good News

How's your Chinese learning going?

"I can have a smooth conversation with people, but my accent is still a bit strange, and my reading and writing skills need improvement."

"Practice more, after all, our main battlefield for the next 20 years is here, and we can't rely on translation for everything."

"Yes, boss."

Du Chen answered with a strong and clear voice, her pretty face flushed red, looking as if she was willing to die for Angela.

"Good, very energetic." Angela smiled and patted her head, then leaned in and gently kissed the corner of her mouth.

Du Chen became even more excited, her rapid breathing causing her chest to rise and fall as if she were seeing the sun.

To be honest, Angela herself thought it was a bit exaggerated, but who could blame her when Du Chen had the highest loyalty in those simulations? While others had 100% loyalty, she could reach 120%.

However, their abilities were slightly lacking. The best among them was actually Jili, who was originally supposed to be a Page 3 girl, a girl who made a living by selling her sex appeal. It was quite absurd.

"Of course, my lack of ability is only relative, after all, I personally trained him." After Du Chen left, Angela shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Then Annie knocked on the door: "Boss, Miss Li is here."

"Please let her in," Angela said, straightening her clothes.

Although Li Yunxin appeared in front of me in a suit, she looked very formal. She looked a little tired, but her cold temperament had not diminished much.

"It's clear that although you encountered some setbacks, you didn't come away empty-handed," Angela said with a light laugh.

Li Yunxin was about to speak, but she quickly frowned and sniffed the air gently.

“No need for that, I did break up with him this morning.” Angela’s smile widened.

However, Li Yunxin didn't say anything about this: "You and Fan Bingbing seem to have plans to attend a film festival?"

"You want a share?" Angela didn't press the issue.

“You know what I’ve been doing lately, right?” Li Yunxin asked back.

"She's dressed up as a spokesperson for Sino-Korean friendship to counter her own father," Angela said bluntly, her tone playful.

However, Lee Yoon-hyung doesn't care about this at all when she's working: "I recently simulated a message that South Korea will win the Oscar for Best Picture in the future."

“Really?” Angela raised an eyebrow. “If that’s the case, then it means that the United States is already in a period of decline.”

“I don’t intend to release that film ahead of schedule,” Li Yunxin said, still with that indifferent expression. “However, if I support a director now and he gets an Oscar nomination or even wins, it will be very useful.”

After a pause, she added, "Besides the Oscars, Cannes, Venice, and Berlin are also options."

“That’s interesting…” Angela pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up with a strange smile: “Have you considered promoting one or two female directors from South Korea?”

"Oh?" This time it was Li Yunxin's turn to raise an eyebrow.

"At the end of this year or the beginning of next year, I will collaborate with Fan Bingbing on a film, aiming to participate in the 04 Cannes Film Festival. I chose a woman who graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama to direct it," Angela said leisurely. "We are trying a new production model, appointing a director, then controlling the behind-the-scenes work, and then conducting simulations and making demands, so that they can make the film according to our requirements meticulously. This is industrialization."

“I know about industrialization. The industrialization level of the South Korean film and television industry is much stronger than that of the mainland…” Lee Yoon-hyung stopped halfway through her sentence, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly as if she had thought of something.

“Although the industrialization of the South Korean film and television industry is progressing rapidly, it will not improve the social atmosphere,” Angela said with a light laugh. “You are Samsung’s little princess, and you also have our support. You don’t have a strong demand for talent in the South Korean film and television industry, so you can completely form your own faction.”

Li Yunxin pondered for a moment: "What about the core content?"

“Oh, dear Yunxin,” Angela sighed dramatically, “I’ll help you, you help me, isn’t that something we already agreed on?” “I need to simulate a lot of scenarios recently,” Li Yunxin said bluntly, “I need a virtual source of intelligence.”

“It’s alright,” Angela shrugged. “Like I said, there will definitely be times when I need your help in the future. In fact, it was you who helped connect us when Rasoni endorsed the negotiations with Vivendi, and I even benefited from your influence in the end.”

“That was just a normal transaction…” Li Yunxin tried to say something, but Angela interrupted her rudely: “Are you so clear about the distinction because you’re worried I’ll steal your man away? Sorry, I already have, and it’s not just me, there are other women trying to steal him too. Are you planning to deal with them one by one?”

Li Yunxin blushed at first, but quickly regained her composure, took a deep breath and calmed down: "It was my oversight, I'm sorry."

She bowed slightly after she finished speaking.

Angela pursed her lips and smiled again: "Then, I will try my best to find time to simulate the future Oscar winners and write down the Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film awards for you."

"Thank you for your help." Li Yunxin bowed again, and without saying anything more, she got up to take her leave.

After she left, Angela tapped her fingers back and forth on the table for a moment before looking up at the ceiling and sighing.

They are supposed to be allies, but in the end, they each go their own way and have their own agendas.

The bad news: My allies and I are only looking out for ourselves.

Good news: The same goes for both enemies and their allies.

"Stir it, stir it, you stir it and I stir it too. Anyway, if the water gets too muddy, no one can see anything." Angela grumbled, then frowned.

Just now, I think I was talking to Li Yunxin in Chinese?
We're doomed!

"Have Executive Director Bai come over." Upon returning to her office, Li Yunxin immediately instructed her on-duty secretary, Jin Zhiying.

Soon, Baek Sang-woo knocked on the door and came in: "Chairman Lee."

"Take a look at this first." Li Yunxin handed him a document.

Bai Xiangyou carefully flipped through the pages, and after only reading half of them, he became excited. He looked up several times as if he wanted to speak, but he held back each time.

The more he read on, the more alarmed he became, and eventually he even broke out in a cold sweat.

"What does Chairman Lee mean?" Bai Xiangyou asked timidly.

"Go back and discuss it with Executive Director Min. Tomorrow at the meeting, we'll confront Chairman Park, but keep the level just enough to embarrass and frighten him. If he doesn't come to me tomorrow afternoon, we can go all out at the meeting the day after tomorrow..." Lee Yoon-hyung gave the orders methodically.

"Yes, Chairman Lee!" Baek Sang-woo replied loudly.

"Very good, it's time for you to hold your head high." Li Yunxin nodded slightly, showing a hint of amiability, but quickly added, "The earliest we can inform the president about these matters is tomorrow morning, understand?"

Bai Xiangyou's expression hardened, and he replied loudly again, "Yes, Chairman Li."

Li Yunxin didn't say much, waved for him to leave, and then said to Jin Zhiying beside her, "Later, send the relevant information to our people, except for the two people who were marked."

"Madam, won't this arouse their suspicion?" Jin Zhiying asked.

“That’s exactly what I want to do, to make them suspicious. Otherwise, why would Chairman Park come to me?” Lee Yoon-hyung sneered. “If he really had a brain like some of the information suggests, he would definitely come to me.”

She paused, then hesitated again: "Dong Qing..."

"Does Madam need Dong Qing to contact Mr.?" Jin Zhiying asked shrewdly.

"No need, I'll go find him myself..." Li Yunxin said after much hesitation.
