The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 95 Are you interested in being an actor?
Soon, half of March had passed, and with the Spring Equinox approaching, the temperature in the capital continued to rise, and business activities... remained unchanged.

Are you kidding? If we can’t even protect the best place in the world, what about other places?
In short, on a spring day when flowers were blooming, Xu Jiuyang drove his girlfriend to report to the crew of "Love Across Time and Space".

According to Li Xiaoran's description, except for the female lead and the supporting actress, everything else in the crew remained unchanged, and it was as accurate as "My Fair Princess".

Xu Jiuyang was too lazy to explore the reasons at this time. He just regarded it as the butterfly effect. The MLM woman was not a good person anyway. If he could kill her in Taiwan, that would be perfect.

"Ranran, why don't you talk to Sister Yuanyuan and start that cultural company." Seeing that they were about to enter Huairou, Xu Jiuyang thought about it and said it.

"What?" Li Xiaoran, who was obviously distracted, didn't hear clearly.

"I say, let Sister Yuanyuan build up the cultural company, and then you can be affiliated with it, without having to always be involved with Xinbaoyuan." Xu Jiuyang coughed lightly.

At the same time, it can also deepen your feelings. No, it can also deepen your bond. No, it can also make you constantly entangled. In this way...

"Oh..." Li Xiaoran responded and nothing else happened.

Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but feel a little surprised. With her carefree personality, she should normally ask him teasingly at this time if he was worried about what she might encounter in Xinbaoyuan, instead of simply responding like she did now.

"Why am I so tired today?" he thought immediately, and then cold sweat broke out on his vest.

"Yangyang, I think Yuanyuan has been acting weird lately." Li Xiaoran said seriously.

"Well, what's strange about it?" Xu Jiuyang tried to stay calm.

"I don't know," Li Dabai said distressedly, "It's just...how should I put it, the way he looked at me...seemed annoyed. It felt like...it felt like...I felt like I had done something wrong."

"Did something wrong?" Xu Jiuyang was puzzled and subconsciously asked, "Is it the kind of anger an old mother gets when she sees her disappointing daughter do something wrong?"

"What are you talking about!" Li Dabai immediately reached out to pinch him.

"Oh, drive! I'm driving!" Xu Jiuyang quickly stopped him.

Li Xiaoran snorted, but still withdrew his hand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yangyang, when you get back, help me test Yuanyuan."

"Ah?" Xu Jiuyang felt a chill on his back again. "How...how do I test it?"

"Anyway, you guys have to have literary exchanges from time to time, so you can help me check and see if she has encountered any problems recently." Li Xiaoran said.

"This...this isn't good, is it?" Xu Jiuyang said bitterly, "If Sister Yuanyuan didn't tell you, she definitely wouldn't have told me."

"Why are you like this!" Li Dabai was unhappy and pretended to hit him, but when he thought that he was driving, he had to let go.

"Yuanyuan is so good to me. Not only does she help me choose scripts and roles, but she also finds an assistant for me every time I join a crew. This time is no exception. If something really happens to her, how can I just ignore it!" Li Xiaoran said in a resounding voice.

Xu Jiuyang just wanted to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Ranran, tell me honestly, if one day, sister Yuanyuan and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?" After calming down, he decided to retreat in order to advance.

"Of course I'm saving Yuanyuan. It's not like you can't swim." Li Xiaoran rolled his eyes at him.

"What if I can't swim?" Xu Jiuyang continued to ask in a very serious tone.

"Then save Yuanyuan first. You are a grown man, so you can definitely hold on longer." Li Xiaoran said as a matter of course.

Then she asked, "Yangyang, if one day your mother and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?" After she said that, she narrowed her eyes, as if she would teach him a lesson if his answer was not satisfactory.

Xu Jiuyang said calmly: "Of course I won't save anyone."

This answer completely confused Li Dabai, and it took him several seconds to react: "Why?"

"Because you can swim, you can just pull my mother up." Xu Jiuyang took it for granted.

Li Xiaoran immediately crossed her arms and glared at him unhappily, as if she was thinking about how to deal with him when she got to the crew. However, she didn't think about Gao Yuanyuan anymore, which made someone feel relieved.

When they arrived at the crew at Huairou Film and Television City, it was already around 4 pm. Xu Jiuyang accompanied Li Xiaoran to meet with the temporary assistant hired by Gao Yuanyuan, then met with the head of the crew, and then went to the set where the filming was taking place.

"That's the heroine Chen Hao. Who do you think is prettier, me or her?" Li Xiaoran pointed at the girl who was filming on the set, and asked with a smile.

"In terms of appearance, she wins, but in terms of figure, she loses completely." Xu Jiuyang said seriously.

However, this time I failed to fool him.

"That's because she is prettier." Li Dabai reached out and pinched his waist.

Xu Jiuyang could only bear it with a grimace.

Soon, the director called for a stop and asked the crew to take a 20-minute break. Then, the middle-aged woman who had been glancing at Xu Jiuyang walked over.

"Hello, Miss Li." She greeted Li Xiaoran first, then looked at Xu Jiuyang, not concealing the eagerness in her eyes. "Is this your boyfriend?"

"Yes, this is my boyfriend Xu Jiuyang," Li Xiaoran nodded first, then introduced Xu Jiuyang, "This is the producer of this TV series, Jiang Xueruo, Miss Jiang."

"Hello, Miss Jiang." Xu Jiuyang shook hands with the other party while smiling.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, are you interested in being an actor?" the middle-aged woman in front of him asked directly.

Jiang Xueruo, the proprietress of Zhouyi Film and Television Production, is also a pig in the wind.

At the turn of the millennium, private film and television companies in mainland China were still exploring how to produce TV dramas, so those who dared to fight and work hard were more likely to succeed.

Zhou Yi was originally a small workshop with only 20 people, but it relied on martial arts dramas with handsome men and beautiful women, beautiful fighting scenes, and scripts with decent logic but not lacking imagination, and worked hard to occupy a place in the film and television industry at that time.

Although this film and television company is named after its boss Zhou Yi, its development is possible thanks to the contribution of his wife Jiang Xueruo, who served as the chief producer most of the time.

Although this woman's aesthetic taste is eccentric - it is rumored that if a female actress in a TV series has accessories on her head, including but not limited to feather dusters, fruit nets, plastic beads and a complete set of Swiss Army knives, and the male actors have either highlights or wool curls and always have their hair disheveled, then it is most likely a TV series starring Zhou Yi.

However, although Jiang Xueruo is more free in character styling and likes to let stylists use non-ancient elements to create ancient costumes, she still has a good eye for actors.

Not to mention the actresses, it just happened that TVB cut production, and the actresses went north to make a living, so there would be Hong Kong beauties in every martial arts drama directed by Zhou Yi.

As for the male actors, since she is a die-hard martial arts fan, in addition to being masculine and handsome, they also have to be good at fighting. Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, and Zhang Jin, who became famous with Zhou Yi, the former is a guard by profession, and the latter two are both heroic athletes.

So? So it was normal for her to be attracted to Xu Jiuyang right now.
