Touya Yaoyao

No matter how big, fragrant, or delicious Yu Yaoyao's pie in the sky was, Zhao Hede still looked at her calmly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Yu Yaoyao looked at her expressionless face and inexplicably felt like a monkey being watched. Her expression turned somewhat awkward. Seeing this, Zhao Hede picked up a teacup and calmly said:

"Movies and TV series have been around in Zhao Kingdom for over fifty years, yet as the emperor of Zhao Kingdom, I have been slow to establish a department to regulate them. Do you know why?!"

After saying this, Zhao Hede took a sip of tea as if he were talking about a trivial matter. Yu Yaoyao looked at Zhao Hede's nonchalant appearance and felt that this matter seemed to be more troublesome than she had imagined.

But what trouble might arise? The Zhao Kingdom has a vast territory; it can be said that the entire Blue Star consists of only the Zhao Kingdom.

With its vast territory, abundant resources, diligent and benevolent officials, and enthusiastic citizens, Yu Yaoyao truly couldn't understand what difficulties it would be to establish a department specifically to regulate movies and television dramas!

She glanced at Zhao Hede instinctively, thinking to herself that if there were no difficulties, as the nominal leader of Zhao Kingdom, she should have established this department long ago. But what kind of difficulties would these be?!

What kind of difficulties could make a country's ruler prefer not to establish this department, but rather allow all sorts of diverse film and television works to continue to exist?!

What Yu Yaoyao couldn't understand was perfectly normal in Zhao Hede's eyes. She didn't think that this young girl in her twenties who had never been involved in politics could understand the intricacies of the matter.

So, looking at Yu Yaoyao's exceptionally youthful face, she handed over the design drawings and construction application, and said softly:

"Do whatever you want, kid. You're still young, aren't you!"

Yu Yaoyao blankly accepted the design drawings and application from Zhao Hede, unable to recover for a long time. She stared at Zhao Hede, wondering if his action meant agreement or disagreement.

Yu Yaoyao was still confused, but Zhao Hede slowly stood up. Without even glancing at Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi, she spoke wearily:

"Go back, child, go back, I need to rest too."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao was pulled to her feet by Bai Taoshi and bowed to Zhao Hede, who was about to leave.

Zhao Hede seemed unconcerned about these details, and instead disappeared into the hall on his own. At the same time, the man who had led them into the hall reappeared and led Yu Yaoyao and the others out.

Today's events were so absurd that Yu Yaoyao hadn't quite recovered. Seeing her frowning, Bai Taoshi subconsciously reached out and ruffled her hair, gently comforting her:

"In fact, His Majesty knows that your idea is good, but this method is indeed very difficult to implement."

At this point, his tone became unusually serious, his voice carrying helplessness, weariness, and even frustration:

"The situation in Zhao is unique. It is a superpower composed of seven different continents, each with its own civilization and history. This results in different cultures and values ​​in each region, which leads to various controversies."

As if afraid that Yu Yaoyao wouldn't understand, he looked into her eyes and gave her a serious and detailed example:

"The diverse faiths of Asia; the tribal cultures of Africa; the science and humanities of Europe; the multiculturalism of North America; the artistic vitality of South America; the island charm of Oceania; and Antarctica is largely uninhabited, so it is not included here."

Yu Yaoyao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. It was unclear whether she comprehended it or not. Looking at her expression, Bai Taoshi couldn't help but continue his analysis, feeling both helpless and frustrated:

"Yaoyao, a diverse culture seems appealing, but it also brings more conflict. It's impossible to please everyone, which is why His Majesty has been hesitant to establish the department you mentioned. Unless there's an exceptionally talented director who can win the hearts and minds of directors from all seven continents, that department will never be established."

Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense. Yu Yaoyao nodded subconsciously and continued to ponder.

She was thinking about how she would make a film that would satisfy everyone on all seven continents, and then use that as a basis to make Asian films an unattainable dream on all seven continents.

Her idea came from the Oscars of a certain country. Since an award from a country can become a benchmark for global film and television, there's no reason why the efforts of a continent can't compare to those of a country.

Of course, there are many things to consider, but she doesn't have the brainpower to think about them right now. What she needs to consider now is how to make a movie that satisfies everyone.

This is very difficult, extremely difficult, but it's not impossible. At least on Earth, there's something called Douban ratings, which might give her some inspiration.

What should she film?! With limited funds, no experience, and no suitable location to showcase her talent, she had to find a film among the ones she had seen that could satisfy everyone.

It doesn't matter if not everyone is satisfied; at least she has to produce a decent piece of work to prove that she is indeed qualified to participate.

Lost in thought, Yu Yaoyao forgot how she left the Zhao Kingdom's palace, and naturally, she also forgot how she naturally got into Bai Taoshi's carriage.

Bai Taoshi quietly watched Yu Yaoyao frown and ponder. He didn't know what Yu Yaoyao was thinking, but he felt that since she had something she wanted to do, it wouldn't hurt to help her as much as he could.

Yu Yaoyao pondered for a long, long time before finally opening her phone to start writing the script. Although a phone wasn't as convenient as a computer, she had no other choice at the moment.

With the mindset of "trying anything as a last resort," and even if it meant becoming cannon fodder, Yu Yaoyao began to rack her brains and write furiously. She was so engrossed in her writing that when she came to her senses, she realized that she was in Bai Taoshi's house.

Yu Yaoyao had heard her older brother Ye Qihua say that after Bai Taoshi came of age, he moved out of the Bai family villa and rented a house to live in.

The place wasn't far from the Bai family villa, the price was reasonable, and the environment was nice, but she had only heard about it and hadn't seen it with her own eyes. So when she came to her senses and saw the unfamiliar decor around her, she instinctively wanted to run away.

She moved very carefully against the wall, inching her way toward the door, her movements like those of a thief sneaking into a house.

Even though she was so careful, she still alerted someone, or perhaps it was just a coincidence that Shiratoya, who was taking a bath, came out of the bathroom.

Seeing Yu Yaoyao sneaking towards the door, Bai Taoshi couldn't help but frown and asked in a deep voice:

"where did you go?!"

Yu Yaoyao turned around at the sound and saw Bai Taoshi wearing only a pair of black knee-length shorts, wiping his still-damp hair with an unhappy expression.

His body was half-naked, revealing strong, muscular muscles and beautiful curves, which was indeed pleasing to the eye.

But now was not the time to admire muscles, so she awkwardly pointed to the door to the side and said with an embarrassed smile:

"I should go home!"

It's not a question, it's a statement, meaning affirmative.

Seeing her extremely reserved demeanor, Bai Taoshi subconsciously sneered, crossed his arms, and looked at Yu Yaoyao with an arrogant expression, saying sarcastically:

"What do you think I'll do to you?!"

Yu Yaoyao's lips twitched, she silently rolled her eyes, and muttered under her breath:

"I know you're a gentleman, but it's too dark, I need to go home."

Bai Taoyi frowned, casually tossed the towel aside, and looked at Yu Yaoyao, giving her an order that brooked no refusal:

"It's too dark, it's not safe, today..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door. The knocking was neither fast nor slow, but persistent. Bai Taoyi put on his coat in annoyance, then walked past Yu Yaoyao to open the door.

It was Ye Qishi who knocked on the door. He frowned as he looked at Bai Taoyi, who was soaking wet and still smelled of lavender, and began to speak to himself:

"I've come to pick up my sister and take her home."

Bai Taoyi's face was unusually sour. He looked coldly at Ye Qishi and couldn't help but say perfunctorily:

She's not here.

Ye Qishi smiled at his gloomy expression, then took out her phone and smiled at Bai Taoshi:

"I think making a big fuss would be bad for everyone, so let me take my sister home!"

His phone screen displayed Zhaoguo's emergency number; clearly, if he refused to release the man after removing the white peach arrow, the consequences would be dire.

Bai Taoya gritted his teeth inwardly, but before he could say anything, Yu Yaoyao quickly squeezed past him, awkwardly looking at Ye Qishi in front of her, and timidly called out:

"Three Brothers"

Ye glanced at Yan Wenmo, who was unusually reserved because of his guilty conscience, smiled politely at Bai Taoshi, and then grabbed her by the collar and forcibly took her away.

As Bai Taoshi watched Ye Qishi and Yu Yaoyao leave, he subconsciously clenched his fist.

He remembered this debt. Ye, you'd better not have any wicked thoughts, or you'll bear the consequences.
