Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?
Chapter 413 Yang Mi makes a cameo appearance, and Love Apartment becomes popular again.
Back on set, not only Jiang Nian, but the entire Love Apartment crew reached peak morale.
They were filming quietly, without much noise.
But the criticisms of them that were initially circulating online have begun to dissipate.
This gave them a great opportunity to take photos.
However, as everyone knows, the reason for the shift in public opinion on the internet is all because of Jiang Nian.
Of course, Li Jiangnian also stayed at Love Apartment as much as possible during this period.
Although he only occasionally offered suggestions during breaks in filming, his keen eye and grasp of comedic rhythm always provided enlightenment.
Both shooting efficiency and quality have improved significantly.
The way Wei Zheng looked at Jiang Nian now was as if he were looking at a radiant golden Buddha, filled with gratitude and admiration.
Without Jiang Nian, there would be no Love Apartment as we know it today.
Moreover, Jiang Nian is incredibly versatile; he can not only help them transform negative information about themselves on the internet.
Furthermore, they can offer suggestions on filming techniques.
They can even easily control the script.
Sometimes Wei Zheng was still a little confused, wondering whether he or Jiang Nian had written the script.
Even though Jiang Nian hadn't read the script much, what he said made more sense than what he actually said.
Of course, he didn't know that Jiang Nian had watched the entire Love Apartment before.
The same applies to the young actors in the production crew.
Their respect for Jiang Nian went beyond mere respect; it bordered on a kind of religious reliance.
However, the news of his return wasn't just known to the Love Apartment staff.
Several other very busy people also know this very well.
The phone rang right away.
"So busy person, you've finally deigned to come back and visit?"
On the other end of the phone, Yang Mi's voice carried a hint of languor and barely perceptible reproach, "I heard you disappeared again recently?"
Jiang Nian chuckled softly, "Just handling some business. What brings you here, Mr. Yang?"
"Don't take advice seriously."
Yang Mi's tone became lighter, "I happen to have a few days off recently, and there's an event near your film set."
"Knowing that you, a legendary figure, are overseeing things there, I thought I'd drop by to visit the set and see what magic makes our production team, which has put in so much effort from our great Jiang, so special? Are you welcome?"
A long time ago, Jiang Nian said he would arrange a cameo role for Yang Mi in Love Apartment.
However, he had been so busy with work lately that he had almost forgotten about it.
Unexpectedly, Yang Mi happened to have some free time at that moment.
However, coming here is not a bad idea.
At this point, Love Apartment was on the right track and lacked a hot enough topic. In the past, the hot topics were all due to the reversal of scandals. Now it was time to add some heat.
"Of course you're welcome. But please don't find our little temple too simple."
"Come on, the project that Jiang Nian has his eye on can't be too rudimentary, no matter how simple it is."
Yang Mi snorted, "Wait, I'll probably arrive the day after tomorrow afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Nian returned to Wei Zheng's side and casually mentioned, "Yang Mi is coming to visit the set the day after tomorrow afternoon, and she might even make a cameo appearance. Get ready."
"Oh, Yang Mi is here to visit the set..."
"What?! Yang Mi?!" Wei Zheng didn't react at first.
Once his brain had processed the name, his voice instantly rose eight octaves, his eyes widened, and he almost dropped the script in his hand.
Is this the name he dared to think of?
Is this actor coming to visit the set?
Good heavens, Wei Zheng dared not even think about this!
His shout immediately drew the attention of all the actors and staff around him.
"Director Wei, what's wrong? Who wants to come?"
Hu Yifei curiously leaned closer.
Wei Zheng was so excited that he was almost incoherent. He pointed at Jiang Nian, then at the outside, and stammered, "Yang... Yang Mi! Teacher Jiang said that Yang Mi is coming to visit the set the day after tomorrow! And she'll even have a cameo role!!"
"what?!"
"Sister Honey?!"
"real or fake?!"
"Oh my God!!"
Instantly, the entire set erupted in chaos!
Everyone gathered around, their faces filled with disbelief and immense surprise.
Who is Yang Mi?
That's the top of the top in the Chinese entertainment industry, a first-tier actress, a true superstar!
For these aspiring actors who are still striving for advancement, they are figures to be looked up to.
Such a big star actually came to visit the set of their drama, which, although it has some popularity, is ultimately a newcomer playing the leading role.
He'll also be making a cameo appearance!
This news was like a bombshell, stunning everyone.
"Teacher Jiang...is...is this real?"
Tang Youyou covered her mouth, her voice trembling with excitement.
Teacher Yang Mi is her idol. Although he knows that Yang Mi and Jiang Nian have a good relationship and have even had many rumors about each other.
But he never expected that Yang Mi would come to visit the set in person.
Moreover, it's clear that the reason they're being given this face is because of Jiang Nian!
Zeng Xiaoxian exaggeratedly grabbed Jiang Nian's arm and exclaimed, "Teacher Jiang! You're like my brother! No, like my dad!"
"You even managed to get Sister Honey here?! Our crew is going to be amazing!"
Seeing the crowd so excited they were practically going crazy, Jiang Nian smiled helplessly: "I'm just here to visit the set and make a cameo appearance. Don't get too excited, just take it easy."
"A calm mind? How can I have a calm mind!"
Wei Zheng rubbed his hands together and spun around in place.
"No, no, we have to adjust the shooting schedule immediately and reserve the best scenes!"
"The set needs another check! Costumes! Makeup! Props! Get everything moving!"
The entire crew was caught in a tense yet extremely excited atmosphere due to the news of Yang Mi's upcoming arrival.
Everyone was incredibly energetic, their enthusiasm for work was at an all-time high.
He was determined to present his best self in front of Yang Mi.
Somehow, the news was also picked up by some marketing accounts with a keen sense of smell.
Soon, the topic of Yang Mi possibly making a cameo appearance in "iPartment" skyrocketed to the top of the trending search list!
"Holy crap?! Really? Yang Mi is going to Love Apartment?"
"The Love Apartment is really something! Even Mimi was attracted to it!"
"Is it because of Jiang Nian? I heard that Jiang Nian and Yang Mi have a very good relationship."
"Can't wait! I can't wait! What role will Mimi play?"
"iPartment is going to be a huge hit! It's already this popular before it even airs!"
There's a lot of discussion online, and expectations are skyrocketing.
Many fans and viewers may not know what Love Apartment is, but that doesn't mean they don't know Yang Mi.
The fact that such a big star would actually make a cameo appearance in an unknown small film crew left everyone dumbfounded.
Some actors, in particular, who had previously accepted guest appearance invitations from the Love Apartment production team but did not go, regretted it all the way.
Regardless of how well the Love Apartment is filmed, Yang Mi's cameo appearance will definitely boost its popularity.
For these young actors, it was also an opportunity to make their debut. The popularity of "iPartment" experienced another astonishing surge.
Countless Yang Mi fans and casual viewers began to pay attention to the drama, and the number of followers on the official Weibo account skyrocketed.
Wei Zheng looked at the backend data and his mouth was practically splitting open with a grin.
Their gratitude towards Jiang Nian was like a surging river.
He understood that this was yet another huge opportunity that Jiang Nian had brought to the film crew.
Amidst much anticipation, the day after tomorrow afternoon arrived as scheduled.
Several black vans discreetly drove into the filming location.
The car door opened, and a group of assistants and bodyguards got out first, followed by a slender figure.
It was Yang Mi.
Wei Zheng, who had been waiting at the door, immediately led the core cast members to greet them, his heart pounding with the nervousness of a primary school student meeting his teacher for the first time.
"Sister Mi, welcome, welcome! Your presence truly honors our crew!"
Wei Zheng quickly stepped forward to shake hands.
Yang Mi took off her sunglasses, revealing a bright and charming smile: "Director Wei, you're too kind. I'm sorry to have disturbed your filming. I've always heard that 'iPartment' is really interesting, and I've wanted to come and see it for a long time."
Her gaze swept over Hu Yifei, Zeng Xiaoxian, and the others, nodding and smiling in greeting, before finally landing on Jiang Nian, who was smiling at the back of the crowd.
His eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of reproach and familiarity that was easily missed by others.
"Hello, Honey!"
Hu Yifei and the others greeted them in unison, their excitement and nervousness barely concealed.
"Hello, no need to be so polite. Just treat me as a regular friend visiting the set."
Yang Mi smiled and waved her hand, her easygoing attitude instantly closing the distance between them.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wei Zheng personally accompanied Yang Mi to visit the film set.
Jiang Nian then naturally walked over to Yang Mi's side.
"So, I wasn't lying to you, was I? Pretty energetic, right?"
Jiang Nian whispered to Yang Mi.
Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him and lowered her voice in return: "You are quite energetic, looking like you're having so much fun here that you don't want to leave."
There was a hint of bitterness in his tone.
But curiosity quickly replaced it. "However, I really want to see what kind of amazing script could make you so interested."
Wei Zheng presented the prepared script excerpts for today's filming, along with a compilation of classic scenes, with both hands: "Sister Mi, please take a look at the script first. These are the excerpts we're going to film today, as well as some of the more outstanding scenes from before."
Yang Mi thanked her and took the script.
I found a quiet spot to sit down and began to read carefully.
At first, she had a professional, scrutinizing expression on her face.
As a seasoned actress who has worked in the entertainment industry for many years and read countless scripts, Yang Mi's ability to appreciate art is beyond doubt.
She quickly realized that the script for "iPartment" was by no means an ordinary fast-food comedy.
"This script... is pretty good."
Yang Mi looked up, her eyes filled with surprise.
"The dialogue is cleverly written, the characters are believable, and the pacing is excellent. This kind of slice-of-life comedy is rare in the market now, and even fewer can be written as well as this."
"Jiang Nian, where did you find such a gem of a script and director?"
She originally thought that Jiang Nian was only supporting the production team out of loyalty to a friend or because he thought highly of the newcomers.
But now it seems that Jiang Nian has truly discovered a gem in the rough!
The quality of the script far exceeded her expectations.
Jiang Nian smiled and said meaningfully, "Gold will always shine. I was just lucky enough to see its brilliance first."
At this moment, Wei Zheng came over to ask Yang Mi if she was interested in watching the filming on site.
Yang Mi had the same idea and immediately nodded.
So filming continued.
"Action!"
Yang Mi stood behind the monitor, watching the performance of everyone on camera, her surprise deepening.
She originally thought that the group of new actors might have relatively immature acting skills and would need the director to slowly guide them.
He also knew that most of the actors were students who had not yet graduated.
But these performances are completely beyond the scope of a newcomer!
They seemed to be the characters themselves; the chemistry and sparks they shared could never be faked.
In particular, that natural, relaxed performance style is something that many seasoned actors may not be able to achieve.
This is definitely not a level that an ordinary new crew could achieve!
After a scene was filmed, Wei Zheng shouted "Cut!" and applause rang out on set.
Yang Mi couldn't help but exclaim sincerely, "Director Wei, you're amazing! The actors are in such great form!"
"His performance was nothing like that of a newcomer; it was very natural and lifelike!"
Upon receiving affirmation from a top celebrity, Wei Zheng blushed with excitement and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Sister Mi, you flatter me! You flatter me!"
"This is all thanks to Teacher Jiang's excellent guidance, as well as the children's own hard work and talent!"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Nian with gratitude.
Hu Yifei, Zeng Xiaoxian, and others also gathered around, and upon hearing Yang Mi's praise, they were all overjoyed.
"Sister Honey, you're too kind. We're still learning."
"It's thanks to Teacher Jiang's excellent teaching and Director Wei's patience."
Looking at this group of energetic young people, Yang Mi was filled with emotion.
She turned to Jiang Nian and said, "Now I finally understand why you care so much about this place."
"You not only found a great script, but also discovered a group of actors with unlimited potential."
"You have a really sharp eye."
She had witnessed Jiang Nian's formidable personal abilities, but she never expected that he would also possess such unique insight and capability in discovering projects and cultivating new talent.
Jiang Nian readily accepted his praise and said to Wei Zheng, "Tell Sister Mi about the role she played in a cameo role."
Wei Zheng quickly came up with a cameo role design tailored for Yang Mi.
A stylish and beautiful white-collar woman who came to Love Apartment to visit a friend, but was mistaken by Zeng Xiaoxian for her new roommate, leading to a series of hilarious situations.
She didn't have many scenes, but they were memorable and suited Yang Mi's image.
Yang Mi found it very interesting and thought it would be very funny, so she readily agreed.
So, she put on makeup and changed clothes.
When Yang Mi appeared on set in her costume from the drama, presenting a completely new image, it caused another small commotion.
During a break in filming, Yang Mi and Jiang Nian rested in a corner a little further away.
"Thank you, Jiang Nian," Yang Mi suddenly said softly.
"Thank me for what?" Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow.
"Thank you for letting me see such a vibrant production team, such a lovely group of young people."
"This show is definitely going to be a hit."
Jiang Nian looked at her profile and smiled, "Then I'll take your good wishes."
By evening, Yang Mi's cameo scenes were all filmed successfully.
The entire crew praised her professionalism and approachability.
Yang Mi also posted a group photo with the main cast of "iPartment" on her personal social media, with the caption: "Visiting the set of 'iPartment,' such a loving crew, amazing actors! Looking forward to the broadcast!"
This Weibo post sent "iPartment" trending again. (End of Chapter)
