After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 371 Jiang Hanying is the real darling of the group, her dramatic performance of ignoring everyone else's suffering.
"Did you already know this?"

"Didn't you just tell me that?"

"But now that you know Mr. Yuan's identity, how can you..." Duanmu Long paused, his expression genuinely confused, "...still remain so calm?"

This unscientific!

Jiang Hanying retorted directly, "Then how should I react?"

Duanmu Long suddenly got stuck.

She felt that the person in front of her should first be shocked, then realize what was happening, and finally feel a bit annoyed at her previous rejection. That was the reaction she expected.

But how could I say such a thing?

Finally, he managed to squeeze out, "Hanying, you really are always beyond my expectations."

The tone and look in his eyes made it hard to tell whether it was a compliment or something else.

However, Jiang Hanying only listened to the pleasant things, and after she finished speaking, she nodded with a bright smile, "Thank you for the compliment."

Duanmu Long looked at her bright smile and tried to return a smile, "You're welcome."

"The director called me over, so I'm off."

"Okay, you're busy."

Duanmu Long stood there and watched Jiang Hanying walk to the director's office. His aunt and Yuan Chaoyu were also there, gathered together watching the monitor and chatting.

No one knows what Jiang Hanying said, but it made the aunt, who had been looking somewhat serious, suddenly beam with joy.

Among the other actors standing around, Yuan Chaoyu appeared somewhat indifferent, but when he looked at Jiang Hanying, he also showed an unconscious sense of helplessness.

Gu Wang, who plays the male lead, was originally standing next to the aunt, but when he saw Jiang Hanying coming over, he actually took a step back.

There were also two minor actors whose names I couldn't recall and who probably weren't very famous. They were carrying a large bag that looked like it was filled with snacks. They stuffed it into Jiang Hanying's arms and then ran away quickly.

Upon seeing this, she suddenly realized what was happening.

Who does she think she is, the darling of the group? Those people who were surrounding her before were just trying to curry favor with her because of her status.

Without this title, she would just be an assistant. While people wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her, they wouldn't go to such lengths to please her either.

On the contrary, someone like Jiang Hanying is probably the real darling of the crew!

Although the female lead is aloof, she doesn't deliberately target anyone. The male lead is also very considerate, and they seem to have a good relationship with the other supporting characters, with some even vying to feed them.

This person couldn't be more comfortable on set!
Turning his gaze away and returning to his previous seat, Duanmu Long was once again met with everyone's eager flattery, which immediately dampened his enthusiasm.

This is no different from those who fawned over her because of her family background.

They all came with ulterior motives and the intention to gain benefits.

Unlike Jiang Hanying...

Even by entertainment industry standards, her family background is considered poor, and she is currently only a third-tier actor.

There really aren't any good pictures.

If you like it that much, then you really like it.

Just as he was thinking this, Duanmu Long was suddenly startled.

Why does she seem to envy Jiang Hanying?

Duanmu Rongrong only has one scene today, and she can leave immediately after filming.

However, seeing that it was still early, she decided to stay and watch the young people perform.

Duanmu Long sat down next to her. With no one daring to approach, his ears were finally at peace, and he watched attentively for a while. "Acting is quite troublesome. I didn't expect the same scene to be filmed so many times, and the lines had to be repeated over and over again."

Duanmu Rongrong nodded slightly. "That's all normal."

"Don't you get annoyed by repeating this so many times?"

"You still have to persevere. There are countless repetitive jobs, but filming is one of the few types of repetition."

"That's true. So, Grandma, what do you think of the acting skills of these actors on stage?"

Actually, she really wanted to ask Jiang Hanying, just to hear her great-aunt's opinion.

However, asking this question separately would be too obvious in its targeting.

She doesn't want to admit that she's paying a little too much attention to Jiang Hanying!

"Those selected for this production are all quite talented actors. Gu Wang is solid and flawless. Yuan Chaoyu has improved compared to his previous drama. Wen Song and Yun Fan are quite well-suited to their roles, almost like they're playing themselves. Xin Linglong's acting style is a bit fixed, but her acting is still acceptable..."

Duanmu Long couldn't help but interrupt slightly, "Grandma, you seem to have forgotten Jiang Hanying!"

Duanmu Rongrong tilted her head and glanced at her with a knowing smile.

Duanmu Long felt his face burning under her gaze.

It seems her little scheme was seen through by her great-aunt!

“Jiang Hanying, I haven’t seen any of her dramas before…”

"I've seen it. I just watched it a few days ago after I met her. But she only plays some minor supporting roles, and the characters are all school beauties, ancient ladies, and there's even a flower fairy. I feel like she's pretty but doesn't have much else to offer."

Duanmu Rongrong listened quietly to her finish speaking, then gestured to Jiang Hanying, who was still rehearsing not far ahead, and asked, "So, what are you watching her perform now?"

Duanmu Long was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "It doesn't feel like it was played by the same person."

If her previous roles gave people the impression of being dull and wooden, then Jiang Hanying standing on the set now seems to have suddenly become enlightened.

When in a high position, one can be humble and submissive; when in a low position, one can exude a powerful aura.

She smiles radiantly in public, yet can stab someone in the back with a smile.

She couldn't understand how a person could switch between emotions so easily.

She's such a drama queen!

"This girl has a theatrical flair that shows she doesn't care about the lives of others."

"what?"

Duanmu Long's small mouth was slightly open.

Is this a compliment or an insult?

When my aunt evaluates other actors, her words are quite proper and grammatically correct. How come her style changes completely when she evaluates Jiang Hanying?
Fortunately, Duanmu Rongrong explained to her in the next second, "I'm not scolding her. Jiang Hanying is suitable for acting, and she is not. Her acting skills are good. You should have seen it just now. No matter whose role she is in, she can easily handle it. She can switch between various emotions freely without having to prepare in advance. Her lines are also good. The young lady has a good physique and a strong voice."

At this point, she changed the subject, "But she only cares about enjoying herself and doesn't pay much attention to the feelings of her co-stars, which puts a lot of pressure on them. Sometimes they might be caught off guard by her spontaneous performance. To avoid being pressured, her co-stars might try harder and end up acting unnaturally, or they might not be able to keep up with her performance at all."

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "She didn't consider the feelings of the audience when she acted like this. I predict that when 'The Richest Woman in the World' airs later, the audience's evaluation of Jiang Hanying's Li Minghe will be polarized. People who like the character will really like it, while others may really dislike it. But that's normal, everyone is subjective. These days, it's not uncommon for people to like villains while criticizing positive characters. In the end, it still comes down to acting skills, oh, and looks."

"But one thing cannot be denied is that she has been very successful in portraying this character. Although it has only been two days of filming, her character has already been brought to life."

Duanmu Long nodded slowly.

From her great-aunt's lengthy evaluation of Jiang Hanying, she concluded that her great-aunt highly approves of Jiang Hanying's acting skills.

As for the possibility that the character Li Minghe might be criticized by the audience after the drama airs, Jiang Hanying probably doesn't care at all.

In Jiang Hanying's own words, it would be: I don't care if you like it or not, as long as I'm happy acting!
