The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 41: It can’t be true that he is reborn
Lei Yao, a native of Beijing, is five years older than Xu Jiuyang and is a rich second-generation.

My parents started their business early, so even though they didn't have much business talent, they still managed to save some money, which they used to buy a house.

So... this is not the life I want!

Lei Yao, who was suffering from a middle school syndrome, ran away to start his own business. Therefore, in his previous life, he fell in love with Xu Jiuyang, who also ran away to rebel against his father, and led him into a trap.

Well, it’s not quite right to say this. Lei Yao is a guy who does have some abilities. Whenever the company is struggling, he can always get a big order to keep it going.

He's also a nice guy, and the models who signed contracts with him haven't encountered any problems—even if it was just a couple of cats and dogs.

And as mentioned before, when they were about to break up in 08, they still helped Xu Jiuyang get an audition opportunity for "The Disguiser".

But that's it. This guy's biggest problem is that he doesn't understand his own positioning. He wants print advertising and TV advertising. He is clearly an advertising company, but he insists on signing a few models, even if they are all print models.

Of course, it is in line with the style of companies in this era...they want everything.

To sum up, when Xu Jiuyang decided to find a place to be a salary thief, he thought of him first.

Even though you have money in your pocket, if you relax too much, you will gradually become lazy and eventually don't want to do anything. To see what excessive relaxation looks like, just look at the Paris Olympics.

Xu Jiuyang is ready to lie down for the rest of his life, but now is not the time for him to lie down casually. He has his parents to supervise him at home, and he has to go to and from school every day. His life is very rhythmic. Lying down from time to time is actually a kind of adjustment.

After being freed, he's clearly lost some of his self-discipline. He's been in Beijing for almost two months, and he's only just begun writing his long novel, "Interstellar." Back home, he'd already amassed two online novels totaling over a million words, but after arriving here, he's barely reached 5.

After thinking about it carefully, it is better to find a job. The salary does not matter. The key is to have some free time. There can be work, but it cannot be too much, and it cannot be too difficult.

Then he thought of his old boss in his previous life. Anyway, there was only one order every ten days or half a month, and the company was not big, there were not many people, and the relationship between them was pretty good, so it was just right to live there.

Of course, the model definitely wouldn't be a model. The first contract she signed in her previous life was to shoot a print advertisement for a clothing store. As a result, she was stared at by the old ladies in the clothing store for the entire day.

therefore--

"So you wrote Inception, that's amazing! So, Teacher Xu, you just graduated from high school?" Lei Yao exclaimed in admiration after flipping through Science Fiction World.

This guy also reads science fiction novels, but not much, which is another reason why they got along well in their previous life.

"Don't call me teacher. I'm not even 20 yet," Xu Jiuyang waved his hand and said, "I did just graduate from high school. I didn't do well on the college entrance exam. I wanted to repeat the year, but I really didn't want to see my dad's face, so I just went out on my own."

He is very frank.

So Lei Yao slammed the table and said, "Hey, it doesn't matter whether I go to this crappy university or not. I didn't learn anything at that crappy art college. In the end, I still have to rely on myself to figure it out."

There is no doubt that these words hit the nail on the head. Young people are easy to fool.

"That's settled then. Welcome Xu..."

"Xiao Xu, just call me Xiao Xu."

"Okay, welcome Xiao Xu to join our company."

After shaking hands, Lei Yao suddenly thought of something and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Um... I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, I may only be able to offer you... 1200 a month for the time being."

"No problem, I understand." Xu Jiuyang waved his hand nonchalantly. Lei Yao breathed a sigh of relief and agreed on a time to sign the contract. Only then did he feel completely relieved and sent him out.

Then, the fat man scratched his face and found the person in charge of the administration and marketing department: "Xiao Chen, when did we put out an ad for a copywriter?"

"Not recently," Xiao Chen recalled, "but I sent it out in a package last month."

"Really..." Lei Yao nodded and didn't think much about it.

After finalizing the matter, Xu Jiuyang strolled outside until the evening. After having dinner, he leisurely took the bus back to the rented small courtyard.

"Hey, Xiao Xu's back," the landlady, Aunt Qi, greeted him warmly as always. "Have you eaten?"

"I ate well and found a job." Xu Jiuyang nodded with a smile.

"That's good, that's good," Aunt Qi said happily. "That's what I was saying. How could such an outstanding young man like you not be able to find a job?"

Xu Jiuyang felt a little embarrassed, and after a few more words of response, he quickly returned to his room.

Although the house he rented was a small courtyard house of only about ten square meters, it had been renovated and had a separate bathroom.

This alone makes it better than many small courtyards. Moreover, the landlady is easy to get along with. Her husband died early, and her son works in a state-owned enterprise in the northwest. She is not short of the rent, so she likes to rent to young people.

In his previous life, in 05, he lived here for more than half a year and had a good impression of Aunt Qi, so he came directly here when he needed to rent a house this time.

There are only two inconveniences here. The kitchen is public, and you have to go through many twists and turns in the alleys to get to the street, which is not very friendly to office workers.

But it was not a problem in Xu Jiuyang's eyes. He couldn't cook anyway, and he slept until nine or ten o'clock every morning. Although he had found a job now, he could go jogging in the morning to exercise while he was still young.

There is no TV, which is sometimes inconvenient. For example, someone is singing "The Blue Sky Above My Head" outside right now.

It’s not that he wanted to rewatch “Young Justice Bao”, but mainly because the little kids in the alley were spreading rumors that Xiaoyanzi and Erkang were in love.

That’s right, in this version of “Young Justice Bao”, only the actors of two roles have changed. Ling Chuchu was replaced by Fan Xiaoyanzi, and Pang Feiyan was replaced by Huo Jinsuo.

Well... how should I put it, it's hard to comment, especially since at the same time as "Young Justice Bao" was being broadcast, "Romance in the Rain", which also had the original cast - the original cast of Fan Xiaoyanzi playing Lu Yiping - also began its advance promotion.

So, at this time in early September 00, Fan Qiaoqiao was in the limelight. Not only was she firmly seated as the number one female idol in mainland China, but she also left her pursuers far behind.

"Isn't this butterfly effect too big?" Xu Jiuyang was incredulous. "Or is it that joining Beijing Film Academy has such a positive effect?"

Then he felt a little gloating. Li Qiaoqiao in this time and space was in a miserable situation. Fan Qiaoqiao had already become a leader thanks to Xiaoyanzi, and now he had snatched away her classic role. If she still wanted to make a name for herself in the circle, she would have to change her name.

In addition, Xu Jiuyang also discovered a highlight, that is, Huo Siyan, the golden lock of this time and space, can actually play Pang Feiyan in this TV series. I am afraid it has something to do with Fan Qiaoqiao. Does this mean that the two of them are joining forces?
Because Fan Xiaoyanzi snatched the role of Ling Chuchu, he had specially searched for some relevant information on the Internet before, and finally found that "The Heroine's Adventurers" in this time and space was starred by Huo Siyan. It was normal to draw this conclusion by linking it with "Young Justice Bao".

"Could it be that she is really a reborn person?" Xu Jiuyang was very curious.

However, no matter how curious he is, it's just that. They are people from two different worlds. Even if he is still a model in this life, I am afraid that he and the other party... Well, there might really be some intersection, if he doesn't lie down.

As usual, Xu Jiuyang put all these things behind him and completed the entry procedures the next day. He also had a dinner to get to know his colleagues, and then went to see Yuan Fang on the weekend.
