The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 279 Faith Shaking
Lee Yoon-hyung didn't devote all her energy to matters with Samsung. With the simulation system and two other skills, she had enough control over the situation.

If Chairman Park had just obediently taken the MP3 project, that would have been fine. But if he had dared to listen to some big brother and point fingers at the MP4 project that was already in his plans, then he shouldn't blame her for sending him to the Philippines.

Therefore, her focus is still on how to expand her own power. Her elder brother will not give up on forcing her back because of this setback, and her father will still stand on her elder brother's side.

However, it was somewhat unexpected that he didn't get angry or upset after hearing that she had a boyfriend here.

"Was he helpful to your career?" That was all Dad asked.

"60% of my career today is thanks to him," Li Yunxin replied.

I suppose Dad asked that question because someone made him lower his expectations?
"Take care of Im Woo-jae before 06." Sitting in the car, Lee Yoon-hyung silently told herself, looking at the street scene outside.

Soon, the car arrived at its destination, where Dong Qing was already waiting at the door.

Yes, that's right. This time, it was Samsung's third young lady who came to visit someone on set. And like Angela, she didn't reveal her identity, but just had Dong Qing stand next to her.

"I knew it." Xu Jiuyang gave a wry smile after seeing her.

"I'm sorry." Li Yunxin apologized sincerely, while also having a "I'll do it again next time" expression. Her charming smile made it impossible to associate her with the cold and strong woman she was known for.

"Alright, what's going on today?" Xu Jiuyang glanced at the people in the distance who were pointing and gesturing in their direction.

"Of course it's a date, I asked you out." Although Li Yunxin said this, she lowered her eyelids somewhat guiltily.

But Xu Jiuyang didn't notice, and reached out to gently pinch her nose: "Let's go then, how do you want to have fun today?"

A happy afternoon passed by just like that, and in the evening she naturally returned to Li Yunxin's villa, where she finally found an opportunity to ask the question she wanted to ask.

"Actually, I have an even simpler method. You can tell Chairman Park that if he doesn't let you develop MP4s, then he'll have to develop MP5s instead," Xu Jiuyang said seriously.

Li Yunxin laughed heartily: "If I had known, I would have said that."

"Oh? Yunxin knows what it means?" Xu Jiuyang teased her.

“I’m not stupid. Besides, since I’m going to develop MP4, I definitely need to learn about MP5,” Li Yunxin said seriously.

“Yunxin is indeed clever,” Xu Jiuyang laughed. “From a personal perspective, I think it’s worth trying to promote a few female directors. Sometimes, the golden veneer of art can play a key role, but it’s not suitable for now.”

"Because... it takes time?" Li Yunxin asked after thinking for a moment.

“To be precise, this is something that requires long-term management,” Xu Jiuyang explained. “Directors are not so easy to find. Even if you can use the big film studio system, even if you have mainland film and television resources to fill the gap, you still need a few people who understand art to help with the quality control.”

“You could have Joyoung Oppa.” Lee Yoon-hyung blinked.

“I’m just one person,” Xu Jiuyang said after a moment’s hesitation. “One person can’t manage so many things.”

"It's okay, as long as Joyoung oppa helps with the approval." Lee Yoon-hyung smiled.

Xu Jiuyang coughed lightly: "By the way, you can look for real stories in China that can be adapted into movies. The 'Golden Body of Art' project should start domestically first; don't think about winning international awards yet. The three identities should be progressively: a wealthy young lady who understands the situation in South Korea and has compassion, a representative of Sino-Korean friendship, and an internationally renowned art investor."

Furthermore, if you've established a film and television circle centered around yourself, you must manage it well. Don't strive for exceptional success, but don't be too poor either; many things are revealed through comparison.

"Yes, I know." Li Yunxin subconsciously turned her head and looked at the night view outside the balcony.

She also remembered his sigh after seeing some news about the Korean entertainment industry during a simulation.

Although she told him that this was just an isolated case and not the true situation in the Korean entertainment industry, she still felt somewhat ashamed when she thought about it.

Of course, it wasn't shame because of what those women went through, but shame because the shame of having one's country's shameful secrets known to the people who care most.

Sulli has been found and bought; she'll be the head maid from now on, so Tae-hee and the others won't nag her anymore... Goo Hara is still being looked for; she'll be Hyun-joo's assistant from now on... Who else is there? Oh, Jang Ja-yeon!

Upon hearing this name, Li Yunxin's delicate eyebrows furrowed again. It wasn't that she felt there was anything wrong with Zhang Ziyan, but rather that this woman reminded her of a certain good-for-nothing.

She reaffirmed her determination to deal with that good-for-nothing before 06, but... how about spending some time training Jang Ja-yeon into a female director? I vaguely recall that in simulations of the future of the Korean entertainment industry, there were several so-called films that had a huge impact and even changed society. If we could create those films in advance and have Jang Ja-yeon direct them, that would be incredibly interesting!
It has to be said that, under the influence of the system, Li Yunxin has become somewhat like a comedian.

"By the way, if we want to make a difference in Sino-Korean friendship, I have a method that can be effective immediately," Xu Jiuyang suddenly said.

"What is it?" Li Yunxin asked curiously.

“I heard that you’re going to have the story of Seo Jang-geum brought to the small screen in South Korea in the second half of the year. And coincidentally, Tan Yun-hyun here is from a similar era to Seo Jang-geum, and she’s also preparing to start filming a TV series in the second half of the year. Why don’t we let them interact in it?” Xu Jiuyang said.

"Interaction?" Li Yunxin blinked, seemingly understanding somewhat, but not quite.

"The two production teams will collaborate to film several dramas, the theme of which is that Xu Changjin and Tan Yunxian meet and exchange medical skills, eventually developing a mutual respect. Then, these storylines will be incorporated into their respective TV dramas and promoted to audiences in both countries. The key point is that everything from the editing to the acting must be exactly the same, with the only difference being the language barrier," Xu Jiuyang said with a smile.

“In that case…” Li Yunxin thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, but she immediately asked, “But, although they were from the same era, they were still…”

Before she could finish speaking, she coughed and interrupted herself. Accustomed to the absolute authority and the "whatever is, is" environment in the company, she was naturally a little confused.

When telling stories based on historical figures, as long as their lives remain unchanged, it's perfectly normal to make some adaptations and embellishments to the plot.

Xu Jiuyang laughed and kissed her forehead: "Oh dear, even someone as smart as Yunxin has moments of lapse."

"Don't laugh at me!" Li Yunxin shyly shrank her neck, and seeing that he was about to laugh again, she immediately pounced on him and covered his mouth.

She was really happy, even though she didn't mind that her husband tried his best not to mention other women's names when talking about them, it meant that he valued her highly.

However, amidst her joy, her heart grew increasingly uneasy, especially when she thought of the saying, "God loves the world, but not any particular person," which filled her with both sweetness and apprehension.

What's sweet is that the person she cares about might care about her more than she imagined, while what's frightening is that her faith in the Lord has been shaken.
