This director lacks vision.

Chapter 101 The First Domestic Film
After Jiang Yifeng finished his call with Zhang Chaoyang, he saw Jing Tian go to the restroom but didn't think much of it.

After thinking for a moment, he called Naza again.

"Uncle, did you catch any fish? What time are you coming back tonight?"

After receiving Jiang Yifeng's call, Nazha asked excitedly.

Hearing that energetic voice, Jiang Yifeng felt a pang of guilt, but he still said, "I have to go on a short trip tonight and won't be going back."

Today is Jing Tian's first time, after all, and Jiang Yifeng can't just leave after getting in the car.

I still need to spend some time with Jing Tian.

Naza paused for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

Jiang Yifeng thought for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Jing Tian."

"Okay, uncle, I'll hang up now. I won't bother you anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Naza said to Gao Yuanyuan beside her, "Uncle really didn't hide it from me; he said he was with Jing Tian."

Gao Yuanyuan sighed and said, "I knew something was going to happen when he took a picture with Jing Tian the day before yesterday."

Naza pouted habitually and asked, "What should we do? Jing Tian is beautiful and her family is rich and powerful."

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head and said with a smile, "It's good to be rich and powerful."

Jing Tian's family is powerful, so of course they wouldn't allow Xiao Jiang to go around causing trouble.

But Xiao Jiang has a strong personality; he would never give up an entire forest for the sake of one tree.

They have irreconcilable differences.

Therefore, Xiao Jiang and Jing Tian definitely won't end up together, and we still have a significant advantage.

"So what should we do? Should we beg the older man to agree to some rules?"

"No need, our opponent is Jing Tian, ​​not Comrade Xiao Jiang."

He'll be back tomorrow, so we should treat him even better and more gently. That way, he'll feel guilty and treat us even better in return.

When it comes to stealing men, sometimes the more you do, the more mistakes you make. If we maintain our composure, we can subdue the enemy without a fight.

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's words, Nazha nodded vigorously.

"Yes! Sister Yuanyuan, you have more experience and you know how to steal men, I'll listen to you!"

Gao Yuanyuan: "..."

That thorn is still as sharp as ever.

But the facts are indeed as Gao Yuanyuan said.

The next morning, Jiang Yifeng returned home and felt a pang of guilt when he saw how warm and gentle Nazha and Gao Yuanyuan were.

After consulting with the two women, Jiang Yifeng took them to try ice fishing, and then they went shopping at the mall, where he bought them many gifts.

When Jiang Yifeng went to the study to check his work emails, Nazha gave Gao Yuanyuan a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Sister Yuanyuan, your trick really works!"

Gao Yuanyuan thought to herself, "This is a lesson I learned from you."

But he said, "Of course, the low-level way to steal a man is to throw a tantrum and try to control him, which ultimately backfires."

However, the sophisticated way to win a man's heart is to use gentleness to overcome strength, to be a better woman, and to continuously improve one's standing in his eyes.

Seeing that Naza seemed to understand, Gao Yuanyuan imitated Jiang Yifeng, patted her head, and said, "Good things are always fought over, especially for capable men."

From now on, Xiao Jiang will definitely have more and more women around him.

We sisters must unite.

Xiao Jiang has a hierarchy in his mind. Right now, you're first, and I'm second. We can't let other women cut in line.

Under pressure from Jing Tian, ​​the "Round Moon" duo united, and they even booked Qin Lan as an outside helper.

Under her mother's guidance, Jing Tian also began to use her gentle charm to win over Jiang Yifeng.

The two sides were locked in a fierce competition, allowing Jiang Yifeng to enjoy all the good fortune in love.

It was nearing the end of the year, and things weren't so busy at the company.

The promotion for "Lost in Thailand" has been done well, and the rest of the film will be released in a relaxed manner, hoping to get as much box office revenue as possible.

Jiang Yifeng is no longer in the running for the Spring Festival Gala, so he plans to take a month off.

Jiang Yifeng had originally planned to travel abroad, but he was too busy to go – Nazha and Jing Tian were still at odds and couldn't travel together.

So I gave up on the idea.

I had a lot of fun exploring the area around Yanjing.

With Naza and Gao Yuanyuan on one side and Jing Tian on the other, Jiang Yifeng was surrounded by women on both sides. Plus, he had a health boost and money to spend, so he had a very fulfilling and carefree holiday.

After entering February, the box office performance of "Lost in Thailand" gradually weakened, with daily revenue dropping to around 6 million.

Compared to Avatar, it lacks staying power.

Even though Jiang Yifeng's remarks affected Avatar's reputation, they did not diminish Avatar's popularity in the slightest.

After all, Avatar's special effects were truly unparalleled in 2010, and the viewing experience it provided was also unique.

On February 4th, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" surpassed 400 million yuan.

Jiang Yifeng and Jing Tian posted several Avatar-themed photos on Weibo to celebrate this moment.

After the photos of the two were posted, hashtags such as "Lost in Thailand box office surpasses 4 million", "Jiang Yifeng and Jing Tian", "Jing Tian's background", "Jiang Yifeng's physique", and "real golden finger" all trended on Weibo.

Some netizens congratulated "Lost in Thailand" on its box office surpassing 4 million yuan, while others gossiped about the relationship between Jiang Yifeng and Jing Tian, ​​and still others commented on Jiang Yifeng's physique.

"Director Jiang's physique is amazing. I was drooling when I saw him playing Avatar. No wonder Qin Lan fell for him. This is Jiang Yifeng's real magic touch."

"Nonsense, Director Jiang's real magic weapon is down there. Look closely, it's huge! Even Li Yapeng would be humbled by it!"

"Director Jiang is really tall and strong! Lu Taijun's loss is not unjust. If I were Qin Lan, I would also choose Jiang Yifeng without hesitation." "Speaking of which, Jing Tian's background is too strong. When Director Jiang took a picture with Qin Lan, Qin Lan played the Avatar. When he was with Jing Tian, ​​he also had to dress up as the Avatar."

"What does this have to do with background? It's good that both of them are Avatars, hehehe!"

"Jing Tian has a great figure too. Her Avatar is just as good as Qin Lan's, and she has an extra youthful energy."

"I envy Director Jiang. He has another Avatar, and she's a top-tier rich and beautiful woman."

……

These celebratory photos of the 4 million yuan box office success have boosted Jing Tian's popularity and made her Jiang Yifeng's new rumored girlfriend.

However, it did not help the box office of Lost on Journey much.

Lost on Journey still earns around six million in box office revenue every day, no more, no less, a steady stream of income.

Starting February 9th, films such as Donnie Yen's "2 Blades" and Jackie Chan's "Little Big Soldier" will be released one after another.

Avatar remains unaffected and continues to dominate the 3D and IMAX screen market.

The number of screenings for "Lost in Thailand" began to decline, dropping to as low as 8% at one point, and the daily box office also fell below 300 million.

Even so, Lost on Journey still grossed 440 million yuan on February 17th, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, surpassing The Founding of a Republic to become the highest-grossing domestic film.

This news immediately attracted a lot of attention.

No matter what it is, being number one will always generate buzz.

Moreover, Lost on Journey is a low-budget comedy with few big-name actors and a director who is a newcomer to the film industry.

To achieve the highest box office for a domestic film under such circumstances is truly a miracle.

These kinds of dark horse stories are also popular with everyone.

Various reports followed, some praising and encouraging, others mocking and ridiculing.

The most popular report was an article in the Beijing Entertainment News.

[Lost in Thailand is merely a fig leaf for Chinese films; the industry's leading directors need to reflect on this.]

When the Hollywood blockbuster Avatar made its grand debut, the big-name directors who had previously been so talkative in China either fell silent or knelt down in worship, practically kowtowing to Avatar.

Only Jiang Yifeng, a non-professional newcomer director, had the backbone to move up the release date and dared to use a budget of 500 million yuan for "Lost in Thailand" to fight against the aircraft carrier that is "Avatar".

As of February 17, "Lost in Thailand" had grossed 440 million yuan, becoming the highest-grossing domestic film.

Many people cheered again, as if the success of "Lost in Thailand" was the glory of Chinese films.

Jiang Yifeng's integrity is their integrity.

Little did people know that "Lost in Thailand" was merely a fig leaf for domestic films.

Let's tear away this fig leaf and examine the true nature of Chinese films, and look at those accomplished directors—they simply can't withstand close scrutiny...

This article was personally written by Chung Han-man, the editor-in-chief of the Entertainment News.

His purpose in writing this report was to belittle other domestic directors in order to praise Jiang Yifeng and Lost in Journey.

Because this editor-in-chief has already resigned and is preparing to become the editor-in-chief of Sohu Entertainment.

This writing style is also intended to curry favor with Jiang Yifeng.

Unexpectedly, this report happens to align with current public opinion and includes a classic reflection section.

It received a lot of attention as soon as it was released, and many websites reprinted it.

Jiang Yifeng's reputation was thus further enhanced.

Many people who dislike directors like Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, and Wu Yusen use Jiang Yifeng and Lost in Thailand as examples to attack these directors, mocking them as being past their prime and outdated directors of the old era.

Jiang Yifeng ignored the situation and simply posted a Weibo message.

"Thank you all for your support, making 'Lost in Thailand' the highest-grossing domestic film."

I have also kept my promise and officially launched the new web series project.

The new web series is called "Dark Glory," and the script has been written. Filming is expected to begin in March.

This will be a web series that's exciting from beginning to end.

Stay tuned!

Because Jiang Yifeng's requirements were very clear and he also provided a plot summary, Wang Juan acted quickly.

In just over a month, he finished writing the entire script.

Jiang Yifeng was very satisfied after reading it.

Wang Juan's script has a faster pace and is not as oppressive as the original Dark Glory.

The first two episodes of the script tell the story of the female lead, Suda, who is very beautiful. She uses her beauty to seduce a promising doctoral student and gradually bewitches him into breaking with his father.

Just when everyone thought the female lead was a scheming villain, the plot took a turn. It turned out that the doctoral student's father was the female lead's teacher when she was a student, and also a beast who had abused her.

The female lead is here for revenge.

Guided and hinted at by the female protagonist, the doctoral student orchestrates an accident that results in the death of his own father.

In the first two episodes, the female lead takes revenge, killing her former beastly teacher at the hands of her most prized son.

Following the teacher's death, the police began their investigation.

The story of the bullying the female protagonist suffered in the past is gradually revealed.

A web of revenge was thus woven.

The script for Dark Glory has been written, and Jiang Yifeng has rested enough, so it's time to get to work and start preparing to film the first web series of 2010.

The first step in preparing for filming is casting.
