Let’s eat, the food’s getting cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan, ever her man’s biggest fan: “I think it’s great—you’re fantastic in it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded in agreement, including Li Bingbing and Fan Xiaopang, both clearly intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli was usually seen as calm and shrewd, occasionally playful, mischievous, and sharp-tongued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the drama, the character he played, Jin Zha, was loyal, filial, upright, and earnest—a truly admirable gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two personas clashed wildly with the arrogant, brainless, vile Yuwen Chengdu they’d just seen on screen—so starkly opposite, it was hilarious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli had acted in too few dramas, many still unreleased; even Dong Xuan had only seen “The Treasure Basin” and “Conquest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others had never seen any of his work—now seeing the big producer playing such a villainous villain, they were both astonished and fascinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xiaopang, however, had seen his insane performance in “Fortune Smiles Zhu Bajie,” so he had higher tolerance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of that, Fan Xiaopang sensed entertainment ahead—especially when she noticed Yu Yanli seemed to want to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we get back to set, I’ll promote your drama—help boost its ratings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wait—I’ll buy ten articles praising your “My Fair Princess” maid performance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli’s fears came true—the women returned to set and started promoting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crew members, either interested in Sui-Tang themes or curious to see the producer as a villain, enthusiastically boosted the ratings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lighthearted, fictionalized plot of “Heroes of Sui and Tang” also successfully retained loyal viewers, who watched daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli felt like his soul had died, yet he fought on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Wang Decai, he asked which episode featured Yuwen Chengdu queuing, then used his authority to schedule massive daytime and night shoots on that episode’s airdate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone on set—every last person—was ordered to the set to film. See how you watch your drama now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, Yu Yanli succeeded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, few on the “Happy Heaven Seven Fairies” set watched the drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with hundreds on set, a few inevitably slipped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, “Heroes of Sui and Tang” was doing well—not just watched by Yu Yanli’s crew, but also by hotel guests, neighboring sets, and extras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ask anyone casually, and they’d tell you the plot immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the shocking scene where the heroine is humiliated by the villain’s queue was unforgettable—many viewers raged, cursing Yuwen Chengdu, wishing to slice him to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the “Happy Heaven Seven Fairies” crew eventually learned the plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli had anticipated this—he never planned to fully hide it; as long as they didn’t watch the drama, he could pretend his image was intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, a thunderclap struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xiaopang claimed she’d found an online copy of “Heroes of Sui and Tang” and was replaying it in the makeup room on her laptop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this really necessary? What kind of grudge drives you to this madness?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glowering, Yu Yanli entered the makeup room and saw a group happily queuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laptop screen was small, so only a few could watch at once—Fan Xiaopang had instituted a numbering system: groups of several took turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone only cared about that one short scene—just a few minutes—so it didn’t take long; they watched, left, and queued again if they wanted more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli counted: all seven fairies were in the crowd, including Dong Xuan, and even Li Bingbing, Fan Xiaopang’s rival—proof of how powerfully the scene gripped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queuing to watch Yuwen Chengdu queue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli had no energy left to complain. He walked over, tapped Fan Xiaopang—who was maintaining order—and forced a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Fan, you're so kind-hearted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xiaopang looked slightly guilty, but seeing so many people around, she straightened her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So many missed such a brilliant scene—we’re all disappointed. I’m just serving the people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Boss Yan, you played it perfectly—evil to the core. I wanted to jump into the TV and chop that bastard to pieces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, if you really jumped into the TV, you’d just be Yuwen Chengdu’s next meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli patted Fan Xiaopang again: “I love your warm-hearted nature—just like your character Jin Suo. Keep it up—we’ll take things... slowly...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xiaopang narrowed her peach-blossom eyes, gritted her teeth, and held her ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take things? What kind of ‘taking things’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are we taking? I’ve got Xuanjie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli pulled Dong Xuan from behind Fan Xiaopang and spoke solemnly: “Little girl, learn something good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pulled Dong Xuan away; she kept glancing back at Fan Xiaopang, her expression complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bastard just tricked me again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xiaopang’s fury boiled over—she turned and shouted into her laptop: “I’ll make a QQ group—I’ll post the link, anyone can watch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yu Yanli explained to Dong Xuan what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were plenty of ways to settle scores with Fan Xiaopang—no need for such underhanded tactics, and it spared Dong Xuan from unnecessary worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I actually heard your conversation when I walked in—I knew exactly what you were talking about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan had seen Yu Yanli enter the makeup room and overheard most of his exchange with Fan Xiaopang—she hadn’t misunderstood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, from their interaction, she sensed something off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tension was thick, yet Yu Yanli’s nature wasn’t to feud daily with a girl—and Fan Xiaopang seemed unusually fixated on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t enemies—they were bickering lovers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such dynamics weren’t rare between men and women—like the second and third fairies in “Happy Heaven Seven Fairies,” who went from brawling to falling in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Dong Xuan’s head ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the seven fairies on set, Hu Siyuan had already tried to poach him—though she’d been warned and quieted, her intentions might not be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Bingbing seemed suspicious—and now Fan Xiaopang, this bickering lover, was added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three out of six—alarmingly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the remaining three, Dong Xuan wasn’t narrow-minded—but aside from married Li Lin, who kept her distance, Jiang Xin and Yang Xue were both unusually close to Yu Yanli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just one set. Other sets, and the countless eager young actresses and newcomers desperate to climb the ladder—Dong Xuan’s scalp tightened just thinking about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many fox spirits—could she really hold him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan brooded all the way back, and when they entered the room, seeing Yu Yanli bending to change shoes, she couldn’t hold back—she slapped his ass hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a nice ass—definitely not from a good family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli: “???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s her problem now? She used to say his ass was her first impression—now she’s complaining?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him stunned, she slapped him again—perhaps because of his training, his ass felt tighter, more resilient than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That snapped him awake: “You’re getting bold—haven’t been whipped in days, now you’re tearing up the roof.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli grabbed Dong Xuan, threw her on the bed, and returned the slaps tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan didn’t beg—she grumbled: “You get to bully me every day, but I can’t bully you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli raised an eyebrow, intrigued: “How do you want to bully me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan struggled up, thought for a moment, then suddenly grinned—she pushed him down, pinched his chin with her soft white fingers, and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The General hates wasting food...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli’s smile vanished: “You stay away from that Fan girl—learn something good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, come on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan found it fun: “You made me wear the Goddess Dragon and Third Fairy outfits, play good vs evil and god vs demon—I played along. Now it’s your turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli hesitated slightly—letting Dong Xuan play Li Rongrong made him uneasy, but swapping roles? Not impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli looked at Dong Xuan with slight disappointment: “Just you? Why not call Fan Bingbing and the others to line up too—it’d be more realistic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli found it disgusting when the female leads queued for Wenyu Chengdu, but when he himself was queued for by the Seven Immortal Maidens, it was an entirely different matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Realistic my ass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xuan couldn’t help pinching him—she knew this bastard had nothing but scheming thoughts, plotting against those fox spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a joke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yanli laughed it off, then clasped his hands behind his back, adopting a stubborn, unyielding expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wicked woman, you may have my body, but you’ll never have my heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Yanli, so utterly unlike his usual self, now entirely on the defensive, Dong Xuan’s eyes gleamed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally understood why Yu Yanli loved playing this game!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: 7,000+, I’ll make up the rest tomorrow—please support with base monthly votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1634,"2026-06-19T16:16:52.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fd3b0c449c7700743f3599ea27e4682208047bfc8079900ae4c504e2f4b343d9","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-132","the-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-chapter-130",405,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-intelligence-king-of-chinese-entertainment-cover.jpg"]
