Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 105 Wang Yuyan's Rival

Xixi is so happy. Mu Tou is not at home, so she can sleep in as long as she wants and wait until she is no longer tired before getting up.

In her opinion, Mu Mu is abnormal, getting up early in the morning to exercise before dawn. It is not unreasonable that he does this every day, year after year, and he does not grow taller. Without enough sleep, there is no time to grow taller.

She suffers when the holidays come. You said you were going to exercise, but you had to wake me up.

There haven't been any good vacations in the past few years.

There is no one to disturb me early in the morning and I can sleep until I wake up naturally. It is so wonderful.

If you ever have a fight with me or find me annoying, just hide in Mu Tou's place and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Xixi had a happy imagination and decided to secretly clean up a room for herself while Mu Tou was filming on the set of "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber".

Sister Li rolled her eyes at the girl, her little thoughts written all over her face, but she was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Shu Chang, Zhang Min is here today too. Your management team is not standardized. It would be better for you to sign with Jingxing. It will be good for your career planning." Shu Chang was envious, what a happy family, but unfortunately I don't have one. Suddenly Sister Li said this, and she was stunned.

Shu Chang was silent for a while, "My uncles and aunts raised me up. Now that I can make money, it's time to repay them."

"It's not that you can't repay them. It's your duty to honor them with the money you earn. I've talked to your relatives, and they have no plans for your career at all. It won't be good for you in the long run," Sister Li advised.

"I want to make their lives better. After a few years, when their conditions are better, I will consider my own affairs." Shu Chang bit his lip and still refused.

"That's good. He's a filial child. How's the discussion going between you and your uncle about that matter?" Sister Li sighed and liked Shu Chang even more.

"He...he..." Shu Chang stammered.

Sister Li shook her head, and understood what was meant. Shu Chang's relatives were full of concerns, and they were afraid of her.

Zhang Min quickly said, "Sister Li, don't rush the child. Let her communicate with her parents. This matter cannot be rushed. Good things take time."

"Good things take time, and good times are hard to come by... um, pig's trotters are so delicious." Under Qianqian's cold gaze, Liu Jing stuffed his mouth with pig's trotters.

Xixi sneered, "Mom is adopting a goddaughter, why are you so attentive? One sister is not enough, you want more? You are crazy."

Xixi had no objection to her mother taking Shu Chang as her goddaughter, as she also felt that Shu Chang was quite pitiful. Besides, her mother must have her own purpose in doing so.

But she was very unhappy because Liu Jing was so enthusiastic.

"Pig's trotters are delicious, so eat more." Xixi picked up a pig's trotter, put it on Liu Jing's plate, and winked secretly.

Liu Jing understood. Since the matter of Shu Chang's signing was brought up, it was probably Xixi's turn next.

He should complete the second of the three conditions.

"I have one more announcement to make. Before Xixi graduates, she should focus on her studies. When she graduates, I will help her set up a studio to handle her agency business. I will personally serve as her agent in the next few years, and will make a basket of plans for her in the future. Of course, the most important thing is to study, and filming is just a side job. I also have my own selfish desires. I don't want to use the company's money. After all, I still need to develop. But I am short of money now, so I let Xixi help me work and earn some pocket money. You won't mind, right?" Liu Jing thought for a long time before he found a reason.

He would feel bad if he rejected Zhang Min directly, but he would not refuse without reason.

But he only thought of Zhang Min and not Sister Li.

Sister Li was shocked. It seems that I am Xixi's agent. As your guardian, you two are causing trouble without involving me.

"You are Xixi's agent, then what am I?" Sister Li said unhappily.

"You are Xixi's assistant and have great power." Liu Jing responded.

"Hmm..." Xixi nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.

She smiled brightly, but Mu Mu still had a solution. If there is a way to have the best of both worlds, it must be Mu Mu.

"Hey..." Sister Li was speechless. This was all planned in advance. I've heard of people cheating their fathers, but I've never heard of people scheming against their mothers.

She's our own child, there's nothing to worry about. Let's work together to get rid of her, then just do it.

Whether she is an agent or an assistant, she just wants to protect her daughter.

"I have made a lot of enemies in the past. Many people in the Hong Kong circle are unhappy with me, which will definitely affect Jingxing in the future. It's good this way, just keep Xixi away from these things." Zhang Min didn't care. It didn't matter if there was one more or one less, as long as Liu Jing was there.

This matter ended perfectly like this. Xixi felt it was perfect and she couldn't stop laughing.

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's envious look, Liu Jing couldn't help but comfort her, "Yuanyuan, wait a few years, when you become famous, I will help you set up a studio and build your own team."

"I can't bear to leave Sister Min." Gao Yuanyuan felt warm inside and held Zhang Min's hand and said warm words.

"Haha, this is good news. If Mu Tou asks me for someone, I will definitely let him go." Zhang Min laughed.

Xixi lowered her eyelids, silently picked up a pig's trotter and started chewing it.

The goal has been achieved, but why does it feel like it hasn’t been achieved?

"Okay, it's almost time, I'll meet with Big Beard at two o'clock." Sister Li smiled, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was a good thing that Mu Tou was willing to take on more work.

She didn't notice anything unusual. Gao Yuanyuan behaved very normally in front of her and Zhang Min, and all her acting skills were put into this.

"We'll go there later and treat everyone to barbecue in the evening." Zhang Min said with a smile.

"I'm not going. Cai Yinong from Tangren invited me to have afternoon tea." My aunt looked at her watch.

"What does she want you to do? What role does she want to arrange for you?" Zhang Min was surprised.

"No, they want to make a film of The Book and the Sword. I have the copyright of this novel. They approached me last year, but I was in the US and didn't have time. They just made a film of The Heroines of the Yang Family, and they wanted to change their style, so they set their sights on The Book and the Sword." My aunt explained. "Why did they approach you? Why not just approach Jin Yong?" Liu Jing was puzzled.

"When we signed the adaptation rights agreement with Jin Yong, the rights for mainland China could only be granted to us within ten years. Haha, now he must be regretting it." My aunt was very proud. She spent a lot of money at that time, but now it seems like she made money without doing anything.

"What are you so proud of? We haven't signed any of the best-selling books like The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and The Deer and the Cauldron to you. Even if we don't sign contracts to you for books like The Knight-Errant and The Untold Story, few people would go and remake them," Liu Jing said.

"Oh! Now that you mention it, it's true." Aunt suddenly realized.

"What about the copyright of The Return of the Condor Heroes?" Liu Jing asked.

"We're talking about it. We have a long-term cooperative relationship with him, so it won't be a big problem. But if you want an exclusive contract, it's impossible." My aunt laughed.

"Okay! Let's go about our own business and get together again in the evening." Sister Li stood up and announced the end of the lunch.

The group split into three groups and it was time to get down to business. In the afternoon there was a casting meeting for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Liu Jing, Xixi and Shu Chang followed Sister Li, after all, this was a backdoor.

Zhang Min brought Gao Yuanyuan and Chen Shasha, who are the formal channels.

The bearded man is very high-profile in his publicity, but he is actually very low-key in his actions.

The casting location was in an apartment. No media was allowed to approach, and no news was allowed to spread online.

When Liu Jing arrived at the scene, he felt like he was at a talent show. There were so many beautiful women.

Young, plump, charming, pure, cool and elegant, cute...

Dozens of beauties lined up, it was a spectacular sight.

"A-choo, A-choo..." Liu Jing sneezed several times in a row. The smell of various perfumes mixed together was a disaster for him with his keen senses.

"Everyone came quite early. It started at 2:30 and it's only a little past one." Liu Jing rubbed his nose.

"It's a rare opportunity." Xixi was very curious and kept looking around.

She was cast in "The Story of a Noble Family" out of the blue, and was considered to have been selected for "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". She has not experienced all this yet.

As he looked at it, his expression gradually became gloomy. The college entrance examination is like crossing a single-plank bridge, and this is even more cruel than the college entrance examination.

Xixi knew that this was just one wave of auditions, and there were many more waves that she had not seen.

She didn't fully see how fierce the competition was and how cruel the means were for actors to win a role.

Liu Jing was just the opposite. The more he looked at her, the more excited he became. It wasn't because he was looking at the beauties, but he felt that "Huan Xi Sha" could do with an open casting.

No matter how many beauties there are in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, they are fictional characters in martial arts novels after all. Do you have Xi Shi, one of the four great beauties? Do you have Zheng Dan, one of the four great beauties in Zhejiang Province? Do you have Yue Nu, the first of the Thirty-three Swordsmen?
What's more, there are so many palace maids in the palaces of King Yue and King Wu, so one has to choose carefully.

The four beauties who wash silk have already been chosen, but the two beauties who wash silk have a lot of scenes during their teenage years, so they have to be cast.

"Xixi, give me a mask." Liu Jing rubbed his nose. Two fragrant beauties came towards him and he wanted to sneeze again.

"Why don't you just not go." Xixi took out a new mask from her bag and handed it to Liu Jing.

"I'm Duan Yu, I have to show my face." Liu Jing put on the mask and felt much more comfortable instantly.

"If you dare to play Duan Yu, I will blow your dog head off." Xixi glanced at her mother who was chatting and laughing with Shu Chang in front of her, and warned in a low voice viciously.

Sister Li and Zhang Jizhong knew each other before, but they were just acquaintances.

Big Beard was the production director of the 94 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Li Jie played Sun Shangxiang in the drama.

After the filming was completed, the two never contacted each other again.

They already knew each other, and with the help of Fan Xinman, their friendship naturally deepened.

The bearded man was very talkative. As soon as they met, he first praised Xixi and then Liu Jing.

It is rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth. Liu Jing felt sleepy after hearing it.

"Sister Li, things are not going well." After the bearded man finished praising, he suddenly sighed.

"Sister Li?" Liu Jing muttered, glancing at the other's gray beard and Sister Li's beautiful face. It sounded so harsh. Such an old guy is actually of the same generation as me.

Fortunately, Sister Li couldn't hear his inner voice, otherwise a slap in the face would have made him face the reality and realize who he was of the same generation as.

"Director Zhang, regarding the issue you mentioned about Wang Yuyan, there is someone recommended by the investors. You have to come up with a reasonable plan to get the investors to support your choice. You want Liu Jing to cooperate with the hype, okay, we agree. The person is here, and you say things are not good? I don't quite understand." Sister Li had a dull expression, which was a sign of anger.

"Hey, Sister Li, don't get me wrong. The investor invited Jimmy Lin to play Duan Yu, and now it's the right time to let Liu Jing cooperate in the hype. It's a win-win for everyone. I was so sure about the role of Wang Yuyan before, because Jiang Qinqin and Fan Bingbing didn't have schedules." The bearded man hurriedly explained that he couldn't afford to offend the investor, and he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him either.

"Oh, they both have new schedules?" Sister Li frowned. It was indeed not a great hope for the girl to compete with these two.

"Qiong Yao's company has signed Jiang Qinqin to a Taiwanese drama. Fan Bingbing is even busier, with two TV series and a movie waiting for her to shoot."

"Director Zhang, I'm a straightforward person, so just say it directly." Sister Li didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly.

The bearded man took out a document and handed it to Sister Li. "Her name is Yan Danchen. She was a student in the 96 undergraduate acting class of Beijing Film Academy. After graduation, she joined the Beijing Film Studio. She was a classmate of Zhao Yanzi, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun. She won the Huabiao Award in 97. An investor recommended her, and many people think she is the most suitable to play Wang Yuyan. Yan Danchen is very popular now. She has the background, qualifications, and temperament. I am also in a dilemma."
