This director lacks vision.

Chapter 130 Triangular Stability

Seeing Shu Chang's gloating expression, Jiang Yifeng almost laughed.

This isn't some kind of chaotic scene.

Let alone Liu Yifei, who has no relationship with her yet, even if Jing Tian and Gao Yuanyuan met, it would just be a matter of nodding and greeting each other.

The so-called "battleground" is mostly the result of deception and concealment.

Jiang Yifeng is a complete scumbag, and the women all know about him, so there's nothing to worry about.

Jing Tian knew that he had fought the three Avatar sisters all by himself before.

Jiang Yifeng even told her to hang up the phone quickly so as not to disturb his good time.

Liu Yifei is nothing compared to the three Avatar sisters.

Jiang Yifeng greeted Liu Yifei and then introduced her: "Qianqian, this is my sweet little girl Jingtian. Tiantian, this is my best friend Liu Yifei."

You are all excellent actors, and you all want to prove yourselves with your acting skills. You can exchange ideas with each other.

I have to go filming now, we'll talk later.

After saying that, Jiang Yifeng got up and walked towards the photography studio.

Shu Chang stayed by his side.

She turned to look at Liu Yifei and Jing Tian, ​​and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid they'll start arguing?"

Shu Chang thought Jiang Yifeng would use the tactics of a playboy to deal with this crisis, but unexpectedly he just introduced the two of them and then left.

As a bystander, she was a little disappointed that she didn't get to see the drama unfold.

Jiang Yifeng didn't explain much to Shu Chang, but just casually said, "No way, these two are both respectable people, how could they possibly start arguing?"

Hearing this, Shu Chang nodded and said, "You know Qianqian very well. Even if she's very unhappy, she'll just roll her eyes and take a few deep breaths and it'll be over."

Jiang Yifeng complained, "That's why their acting skills are all bad. They can't even argue in real life, but all they can do in movies and TV shows is yell and shout."

Shu Chang: "..."

"At least they are both very beautiful, tall, with fair skin, they are really super beauties."

Shu Chang's words were full of envy. She suddenly said, "Compared to them, I'm far inferior."

Director Jiang, do you think I should follow Yang Mi's example and get some cosmetic surgery?

Jiang Yifeng looked at Shu Chang and said, "You are very beautiful too. You are the female lead I specially selected for the movie. You are no worse than them."

Upon hearing this, Shu Chang was extremely pleased and even her tone of voice became gentle.

"I'm just a little insecure, and I'm thinking of optimizing it to make it better."

Jiang Yifeng said, "It's certainly appropriate for you to go for beauty treatments, but you don't need to get plastic surgery."

Beauty lies in authenticity; authenticity is natural and makes people feel comfortable.

The result might be more refined, but it will look fake and have an awkward, uncoordinated feel.

"Your acting skills are actually quite good. If you go and get haphazard plastic surgery, you'll be ruining your future."

Shu Chang's plastic surgery can be described as disfiguring, and Jiang Yifeng still doesn't want her to go down this wrong path. He must correct her aesthetic concepts.

So Jiang Yifeng continued, "Maintaining good health is the best form of beauty."

Look at you now, you weigh 105 pounds, but I still managed to take a beautiful picture of you.

Your performance on camera is authentic, natural, and very charming.

When "Back to 20" is released, you'll gain even more fans.

Shu Chang's real height is only around 158 cm, and she weighs 105 catties, which is considered overweight. She gained some weight for the movie.

However, with the right makeup and styling, plus the advantage of a small round face, and Jiang Yifeng's shooting techniques, it was possible to achieve the desired effect.

She appeared energetic and vibrant in front of the camera, and was very charming.

Jiang Yifeng's understanding of female celebrities' aesthetics only changed after he became a director.

He had been fooled before, believing statements like "the camera makes people look fat, and you have to be thin to look good on camera."

There's some truth to that, but it's not absolute.

Or it could be described as a lazy or even abnormal practice.

Actresses in the 1970s and 80s all had normal weights and looked beautiful on camera.

Not only is she beautiful and elegant, but she also has a rosy complexion, which is pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Lin, Tao Huimin, He Qing, and other great beauties are not thin women, and they are convincing in playing stunning beauties.

Then look at Gong Li, Fan Bingbing, and Gao Yuanyuan; their arms are anything but thin.

She still looks stunning in front of the camera.

On the contrary, the Chinese entertainment industry, which has embraced the idea that "being thin is photogenic," produces TV dramas where the female leads are all paper-thin figures with heavy filters pressed against their faces, lacking any charm whatsoever.

Regardless of how the media portrays it, human aesthetics are influenced by instinctual genes. Women should be more rounded because they need to give birth and breastfeed.

Moreover, being too thin is unhealthy, and people will feel uncomfortable seeing it.

A truly skilled director doesn't force actresses to lose excessive weight, but rather helps them unleash their charm by aligning with the characters in the script.

For example, Gao Ye played the role of the eldest sister-in-law in "Crazy Storm," and her weight of over 100 pounds actually enhanced her charm.

Li Yitong, who is naturally more beautiful and works hard to control her weight, was still "outshone" by the older sister-in-law in this drama.

While aesthetic sense can be distorted, it cannot escape human instincts.

Jiang Yifeng insists on healthy beauty – not too fat, not too thin – and wants to film the most authentic, living people.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Shu Chang nodded and said, "Then I look forward to the release of 'Back to 20' and see if everyone praises me."

Jiang Yifeng joked, "Even if everyone else doesn't praise you, I will."

If you ever lose confidence, come to me, and I'll praise you to the skies.

Upon hearing this, Shu Chang was secretly pleased, but she still rolled her eyes at Jiang Yifeng and said, "Director Jiang, you've changed."

"What has changed?"

"You never used to praise me much, but today when Qianqian and Jingtian came, you started praising me instead, and you were so glib."

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "A triangle is the most stable structure."

After saying this, he went into the photography studio to prepare for the shoot.

Shu Chang didn't understand the meaning of those words, but she didn't think much of it. She went into the dressing room and started doing her makeup and hair.

At 8:45 a.m., filming officially began for today's scenes. The crew noticed that two beautiful women had come to visit the set, but Jiang Yifeng didn't talk much to them, instead paying special attention to Shu Chang.

He would personally guide Shu Chang in filming, praise her acting skills, and show concern for her well-being from time to time.

Shu Chang also found it inexplicable.

But I felt really good inside.

Jing Tian and Liu Yifei were both there today, but Jiang Yifeng focused on her, giving Shu Chang the feeling that she was more charming than Jing Tian and Liu Yifei.

In particular, Shu Chang herself is not very confident in her appearance, feeling that she is not as pretty as Liu Yifei and Jing Tian.

I never expected the situation to completely reverse today!
This refreshing feeling is truly irresistible.

Near the end of the afternoon's filming, Shu Chang even pretended to twist her ankle.

In the lounge, Jiang Yifeng personally massaged Shu Chang's feet, while Jing Tian and Liu Yifei sat to the side.

Shu Chang almost blurted out a classic internet meme that would become a household name in later years.

"Director Jiang, you're so good to me, you even massaged my feet! Won't your girlfriend be angry?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yifeng almost burst out laughing.

It's a pity we didn't hear the line "Unlike me, I only feel sorry for my brother," which makes it a little imperfect.

Jing Tian remained silent, simply sitting in her chair playing on her phone.

On the one hand, her ostrich mentality was extremely stable; on the other hand, Jing Tian felt that Shu Chang was not a big threat, but Liu Yifei was the bigger threat.

Jiang Yifeng didn't get too close to Liu Yifei, so Jing Tian didn't make any special move either.

Liu Yifei found it amusing and watched her best friend Shu Chang perform with a smile.

She had a slight liking for Jiang Yifeng, especially because of Fifty Shades of Grey, which gave her some special feelings.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have worn the neck collar that Jiang Yifeng gave her when she visited the set.

However, in Liu Yifei's opinion, there was nothing between Jiang Yifeng and Shu Chang.

On the contrary, encountering Jing Tian made Liu Yifei feel somewhat awkward, as if she wanted to do something bad but was discovered by the person in question.

Now that Shu Chang is involved, at least it's not so awkward anymore.

This is Jiang Yifeng's playboy tactics.

He has to play the scumbag in front of Jing Tian, ​​and he also wants to coach Liu Yifei's acting skills. Whichever side he leans towards today is a wrong choice.

However, if a third party is brought in who is biased towards Shu Chang, then there won't be any problem.

This is the stability of a triangle.

What's more, there are also benefits.

Jiang Yifeng gently rubbed Shu Chang's slender, white feet, which felt really nice to the touch.

He said with a smile, "Don't worry about whether other people are angry or not."

I'll give you a massage today. Get a good rest tonight, and you should be able to film normally tomorrow.

Shu Changchacha said, "What if it's still not better by tomorrow?"

"If you're not feeling well tomorrow, then we'll film other scenes first. You should rest for two days. Your health is important, so don't push yourself."

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's concern, Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei smugly and said, "Then you can massage it for me again tomorrow morning~"

"No problem, that's enough for today. I have something to do tonight, so I'll be going now."

Jiang Yifeng washed his hands and left the film crew with Jing Tian.

Policewoman Jing Tian is arriving tonight, and Jiang Yifeng must give her a proper welcome.

Seeing Jiang Yifeng leave, Shu Chang was still somewhat reluctant to leave, her watery eyes fixed on Jiang Yifeng's back.

Liu Yifei complained, "Alright, enough singing. I know you won. Stop it now. I'm really not used to you like this."

Despite her small stature, Shu Chang is actually very opinionated and has a strong personality.

She rarely acts coquettishly, let alone like a green tea bitch today.

Shu Chang put on her shoes and said with a smile, "Isn't this what I'm doing to help you?"
You went to visit the film set, only to run into your girlfriend. I feel embarrassed for you.

For you, I have no choice but to sacrifice a little.

"Did you sacrifice yourself? I saw Jiang Yifeng massaging your feet and you seemed to be enjoying it. Look how red your face is!"

Shu Chang's feet are very sensitive, and Jiang Yifeng has a talent for dexterity, so his technique is superb.

She did feel very comfortable being massaged.

Liu Yifei continued, "Besides, Jiang Yifeng doesn't have a real girlfriend."

Didn't you hear his introduction of Jing Tian? Sweetheart, how disgusting!

Besides, there's nothing between me and Jiang Yifeng, so why should I feel awkward?

"You really have nothing to do with Director Jiang? Then I'll have to take the initiative!" Shu Chang joked. "Although Director Jiang is a bit of a womanizer, it felt really good to be pampered by him today!"

"It's true, you have to date a jerk to have the best experience!"

Liu Yifei: "..."

Liu Yifei pouted helplessly and said, "Alright, we're the same kind of people, so stop pretending. What's with this talk of dating? It's not like no one has ever pursued you before. Would you accept that?"

Liu Yifei's parents divorced, and she went to the United States with her mother when she was very young, where the environment changed very quickly.

Shu Chang's father ran away when she was born, and she lived with her mother until she was ten years old when her mother passed away. She then lived with relatives.

They come from different backgrounds, but their experiences are somewhat similar; they are both people who lack a sense of security in relationships.

They all started their careers in the entertainment industry at a very young age, achieving fame early and having seen many handsome men and various things in the industry.

They have a rather pessimistic view on love.

Therefore, it's no surprise that these two became best friends.

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Shu Chang smiled and said, "What is the essence of love? Isn't it just a sense of superiority?"
It means you find someone and gain an infinitely high status with them, making you feel valued and the most special person in the world.

I experienced this feeling today, and it was actually quite comfortable.

Just now, when Director Jiang was massaging my feet, I suddenly remembered a line from Roman Holiday.

Liu Yifei asked, "What lines?"

"Body and soul, one of them must always be on the road."
