This director lacks vision.

Chapter 144 European Fans Clash in Advance
After finishing their meal, the group left the restaurant.

To foster teamwork among the seven members of the 101 girl group and to facilitate management and training, the company rented a villa for them in the Rose Garden villa area.

Everyone ate and slept together.

Routine physical training is usually conducted at the activity center within the villa area.

Jiang Yifeng greeted everyone and then got into a car and left.

Jiang Yifeng's car was almost out of sight.

Naza suddenly said, "I have some things to take care of at home, and I need to go back tonight to deal with them."

Zhang Tianai also said, "I've run out of eye cream, I need to go back to my apartment to get some more."

Ganati provided cover.

"Then I'll go with you. The three of us can fit in one car."

After saying that, the three of them got into a car and left.

Seeing this, the remaining five women looked at each other in bewilderment and got into another company van.

On the bus, everyone was silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.

No one is a fool.

After living and eating together for these days, Reba and the others could clearly feel that Nazha and Zhang Tianai had a closer relationship, and their tone was different when they talked about Jiang Yifeng.

During dinner tonight, Nazar and Zhang Tianai sat on either side of Jiang Yifeng, and their manner of speaking was very intimate and natural.

Jiang Yifeng just left, and they left alone again, which clearly indicates something is going on.

Yang Caiyu is an outgoing person, and she couldn't help but whisper something.

"I feel like Naza and Tianai beat me to it!"

The phrase "to be the first to arrive" is used very cleverly and has profound meaning.

However, he was immediately reprimanded by Chen Jianfang.

"Stop making wild guesses and don't talk nonsense! If a bad rumor spreads, can you afford the penalty for breach of contract?"

Go back and write 1000 signatures! You're not allowed to sleep until you've finished!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yang Caiyu with sympathy.

The company has very strict management of the girl group. Even when signing autographs, they must follow the pre-designed style and write beautifully without making any mistakes.

Writing 1000 proper signatures is no easy task.

Yang Caiyu didn't dare to talk back even after being scolded.

Chen Jianfang is in charge of the girl group's management team. Her style of doing things is somewhat similar to Wang Jinhua's. She can take care of the artists in every way, but she is also very strict and assertive.

Jiang Yifeng gave her considerable authority and instructed her to manage the girl group well.

With a large number of members in a girl group, discipline is paramount; otherwise, things can easily go wrong.

Chen Jianfang's previous management was quite effective.

However, her failure to immediately stop Naza and Zhang Tianai from acting alone tonight set a bad precedent.

This also instilled some wicked thoughts of female rivalry in the minds of the other members.

Jiang Yifeng didn't expect that Nazha and Zhang Tianai would follow him. He had made plans with Gao Yuanyuan tonight.

The second season of Dark Glory is about to start filming, and Yuanyuan needs Jiang Yifeng's help to re-enter the state of the Dark Queen.

She specially prepared two costumes for tonight.

Now that Nazar and Zhang Tianai have also arrived, they have no choice but to let them play two female villains to help Gao Yuanyuan get into character.

For the next two days, Jiang Yifeng focused his main energy on the girl group, helping them record their new album.

After getting to know each other better, Jiang Yifeng became more and more familiar with the other five girls in the girl group.

Everyone found that Jiang Yifeng was easy to talk to and very eloquent. He would occasionally throw out a joke or a few lines of internet slang commonly used in later generations, which made him very humorous.

They became bolder.

Yang Caiyu and He Na, in particular, would hang around in front of Jiang Yifeng all the time, their intention to curry favor with him was very obvious.

Jiang Yifeng remained calm and did not respond to the two women's advances at all.

Seeing this, both Naza and Zhang Tianai nodded. One thought the uncle was a good man, with taste and ambition, while the other thought the boss treated her the most specially, not minding her weight even when she was overweight.

Now, instead of accepting the beautiful Yang Caiyu and the busty He Na, she's truly the best boss.

In fact, Jiang Yifeng just didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Having sex with women is something you can do anytime.

The girl group has just been formed, so the focus is on stable development.

As for Naza and Zhang Tianai, that was their relationship before the girl group was formed.

Besides, playing around with ambiguity is quite nice. First, tell Dilraba a corny joke, then make Li Yitong laugh, and then take a photo with Zhang Yuxi. It's all very comfortable and enjoyable.

Three days later, the girl group's album recording was on track, and Jiang Yifeng left.

On the morning of August 7th, Jiang Yifeng arrived at the multimedia conference room on the third floor of the company.

After several days of selection, the auditions for the second season of Dark Glory are scheduled for today.

Compared to the first season, there are many more actors auditioning today, including many who are already well-known in the industry.

It's just that times have changed.

The first season of Dark Glory was a huge hit, generating a great response not only in China but also continuing to be a popular show in the Pan-Asian region.

The second season naturally became a highly anticipated resource.

The same applies to organizing variety shows. If it weren't for the huge success of Produce 101, it would have been extremely difficult for Jiang Yifeng to organize Sisters Who Make Waves.

Only with the experience of the success of Produce 101 will female celebrities be willing to go on the show Sisters Who Make Waves.

Upon entering the conference room, Jiang Yifeng saw Yang Mi and was quite surprised.

"Weren't you filming in Hengdian? What brings you here?"

On July 10th, Yu Zheng's "Palace" started filming in Hengdian. Yang Mi competed with Yuan Shanshan for a long time, but in the end, she won the lead role in "Palace".

She has been filming in Hengdian for some time and will not be able to wrap up until early September.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's question, Yang Mi smiled and said, "To support you, I specially took leave from the film crew and rushed back to Yanjing overnight."

How about that? Touched, aren't you?

Jiang Yifeng directly saw through Yang Mi's rhetoric, "I think you don't trust me and are afraid that someone will snatch the role of the second female lead, so you came here specifically to audition. Are you here to remind me in person?"

The drama "Palace" was poorly made, and even the male lead was not a popular actor. In the end, Feng Shaofeng was found to play the role.

Without having any special abilities, no one would have known this show would be a hit.

So in Yang Mi's heart, the second female lead in Dark Glory Season 2 is still more important.

Yang Mi chuckled and said, "No way! I trust Director Jiang's character completely. He's a man of his word and never goes back on his promise!"

"Alright, the role is yours, and the second female lead hasn't even had an audition."

But let me make this clear from the start: I have very high standards for acting. If you don't meet them, don't blame me for resorting to unethical means.

Yang Mi straightened her back and said ambiguously, "It's okay, Director Jiang, use whatever methods you want on me, I can take it~"

"Just don't cry later." Jiang Yifeng waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go, don't get in the way."

Yang Mi pouted. She felt that Jiang Yifeng was like a cold stone, and even if she warmed him with her warmest spot, she couldn't get him warm.

After Yang Mi left, Jiang Yifeng looked at the people in the conference room; it was still the original cast from the first season.

Producer: Hu Qian; Screenwriter: Wang Juan; Assistant Director: Tian Yusheng. Besides the second female lead, the main antagonist, Song Ticha, also has a significant role this season.

The male lead, Xiao Xiaobai, is Bai Baichen, the younger brother of Bai Baiguang, the male lead in the first season.

The third female lead, Tia, is also Song Ticha's secretary;
Warlord Songpa, police inspector Mamun, and others.

After a series of auditions, Jiang Yifeng still adhered to the principle of being cheap and easy to use, and selected the actors.

Song Ti has identified Zhang Songwen.

Although Zhang Songwen's acting skills have been overhyped after his meteoric rise, objectively speaking, he is still a relatively good actor.

His refined and gentle demeanor makes him a perfect fit for playing such a twisted villain.

Most importantly, Zhang Songwen was not famous at the time, so he was very cheap.

Police Inspector Ma Meng chose Zhou Yiwei, Zhang Songwen's classmate and friend. This character is the older brother of the male villain in the first season. He is both righteous and evil, wanting to avenge his younger brother, but also has some bottom line and a sense of justice.

The male lead, Bai Baichen, was chosen to play Bai Yu, a sophomore at the Central Academy of Drama. Bai Yu has a good appearance and acting skills, and he also happens to have the surname Bai.

The role of warlord Songpa was given to Joe San.

This was Jiang Yifeng's idea.

He felt that Qiao Shan's image was very suitable for playing the kind of smiling villain.

He appears cheerful on the surface, but he'll kill someone at the slightest provocation.

As for the third female lead, Tia, she ultimately chose Wang Ou.

This woman has the face of a natural mistress; when she wears a business suit, she looks like a female secretary.

Not only did it fit the role perfectly, but the pay was also very low. Moreover, having Wang Ou and Yang Mi act together in the same production team also reflects Jiang Yifeng's slightly wicked sense of humor.

Unfortunately, no one knows what will happen in the future.

This kind of fun is something only Jiang Yifeng can understand; no one else can share it with him.

After finalizing the cast for Dark Glory Season 2, the production team accelerated its preparations.

The competition for product placement this season is fierce. Langzi achieved excellent results in the first season, spending 800 million yuan to secure the clothing product placement.

Various alcoholic beverages, electronic products, and other products also want to be featured in their products.

Many brands have seen the influence of Dark Glory in the Pan-Asian region and want to use this drama to open up a larger market.

Jiang Yifeng didn't want them all; he only carefully selected two brands and placed them appropriately without affecting the plot or the viewing experience.

After all, the product placement issue has caused quite a stir this year.

At the beginning of the year, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala featured too many advertisements, which drew widespread criticism, and the director of CCTV's advertising department was dismissed.

The mid-year broadcast of "The Golden Wedding" took product placement to a new level, with characters frequently uttering advertising slogans. This not only pulled viewers out of the story but also prompted a joint boycott by several major television stations. This method of product placement also affected the television stations' advertising sponsorship business.

Towards the end of the year, there's also Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One 2," which was criticized for too many product placements.

Jiang Yifeng was quite restrained in this regard.

After all, excessive advertising can affect the quality of a work and ultimately impact the system's rating.

Even with great restraint, Dark Glory Season 2 had already garnered 16 million yuan in product placement revenue before filming even began.

In terms of advertising cost, it's even higher than Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One 2".

However, if you don't disturb 2 had a lot of advertisements, a total of 20, which brought in nearly 6000 million yuan in revenue. The movie broke even before it was released.

On August 10th, Jiang Yifeng posted a Weibo post, officially announcing the Dark Glory Season 8 project.

This Weibo post quickly topped the Weibo hot search list, and netizens cheered.

Everyone is looking forward to the early release of Dark Glory Season 2.

Yang Mi is very good at handling things and knows how to create hype.

She immediately retweeted Jiang Yifeng's Weibo post and said, "I've finally gotten my turn! Thank you for your trust, Director Jiang. I will definitely play the role of Wan Na well."

P.S.: If Dark Glory Season 2 is a huge hit, I can dress up as an Avatar too!

Yang Mi also attached a photo to the Weibo post.

In the photo, she is wearing a three-piece suit of formal wear, black stockings, and high heels, striking a seductive pose.

The white shirt was stretched taut, and her long, black-stockinged legs were incredibly alluring, attracting many perverts.

Everyone cheered.

"I support Yang Mi playing Avatar! I want to see the big-deck version of Avatar!"

"Director Jiang is awesome! He keeps changing Avatars. I want to be a director too!"

"I envy Director Jiang every day! I hope Director Jiang posts more photos so that we brothers can also get some soup."

Just two hours later, Yang Mi's Weibo post had received over 100,000 likes and nearly 10,000 comments.

The number of fans has increased significantly.

Yang Mi was very proud of these figures.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.

Wang Ou also reposted Jiang Yifeng's Weibo post and said the same thing, expressing his willingness to play Avatar.

And a photo was attached.

Wang Ou's breasts aren't as big as Yang Mi's, but they're not small either. Plus, she's a former model, 170cm tall, and has a great figure.

Especially her face, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's beautiful about it, but it has a certain alluring charm.

Born with the body of a mistress.

When the perverts saw this, they all gave it a thumbs up.

"Holy crap! There were experts here!"

"Who is this Wang Ou? I didn't know her before. But I have to say, Director Jiang has a really good eye for talent, casting her as the female secretary!"

"Gao Yuanyuan wins with her looks and gentleness, Yang Mi wins with her figure and generosity, and Wang Ou is a combination of the two, so please be generous!"

Jiang Yifeng's official announcement Weibo post included tagging the Weibo accounts of several main actors.

With Wang Ou herself reposting the Weibo post, her popularity skyrocketed, gaining more than 20 followers in a single day.

Yang Mi was so angry when she saw this that she gritted her teeth.

She felt that her limelight had been stolen.

In reality, Yang Mi generated more discussion on the topic, but she was still unhappy.

Then he posted the famous bathtub photo.

"After a long day, why not relax in the bathtub and take a bath?"

Not to be outdone, Wang Ou immediately posted a yoga photo.

"Time to start training again to prepare for Dark Glory Season 2!"

The competition between the two women in posting beautiful photos has amused netizens and generated even more buzz.

It helped promote Dark Glory Season 2.

Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

It has to be said that Yang Mi and Wang Ou are somewhat incompatible.

The TV series hasn't even started filming yet, and the fans have already begun their battles.
