This director lacks vision.

Chapter 149 Guardians of Order

On the morning of September 7th, Yang Mi officially joined the cast of Dark Glory Season 9.

She didn't rest; after finishing filming "Palace," she immediately went straight to the next project.

Without much preparation or research into the role of Wanna, the performance was naturally superficial.

"When you're playing a villain, don't make random facial expressions; don't turn a grimacing performance into a comedy."

"Don't deliberately drag out the last syllable when you speak. It doesn't make you seem intelligent; it just makes you sound like you're about to die."

"Also, be mindful of your physical condition. Don't be slouching or fidgeting too much."

Seeing Jiang Yifeng keep yelling "Cut!" and asking questions about Yang Mi, Wang Ou was secretly overjoyed.

She already had some grudges with Yang Mi on Weibo.

After meeting in real life today, the two women seemed to be incompatible, unable to stand each other.

In terms of acting skills right now, Wang Ou, an actress who came to the profession later in life, is indeed better than Yang Mi.

She has experienced hardship and lived a life at the bottom of society. In addition, her appearance and temperament are suitable for the role, which allows her to portray the feeling of a female secretary very well.

Yang Mi's current problem is that she acts in too many dramas, which is just as Li Xiaowan commented, making her roles too formulaic and predictable.

He gives the impression of being a long-time employee who has worked at the company for seven or eight years, slippery and very good at slacking off.

They can produce the most perfunctory performance with the least amount of effort.

This format is sufficient for most historical romance dramas, but it doesn't meet Jiang Yifeng's requirements.

Yang Mi joined the crew late, and today's schedule is all her scenes.

After shooting all morning, not a single one was usable.

During the lunch break, Jiang Yifeng called Yang Mi over again and asked, "Have you read the script?"

"I've watched it, and I've memorized all my lines."

"Then let me ask you, what kind of person do you think Wanna is?"

Yang Mi thought for a moment and said, "Wan Na is ruthless and has a high IQ. She is good at using her beauty to lure men into making mistakes. She has her own logic and believes in the survival of the fittest."

Jiang Yifeng sighed, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed a small, fair hand offering him a glass of iced cola.

Looking back, it was Dilraba.

She wore a white T-shirt and jeans today, which accentuated her perfect waist-to-hip ratio.

When Jiang Yifeng turned around, she gave him a sweet smile, radiating youthful energy.

"What brings you here? Do you have so much free time?"

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's reprimand, Dilraba felt that this was the right way to do it.

She said with a smile, "The album recording was recently completed, and the company gave us three days off."

Our next task is to record the album's music video and prepare for recording Sisters Who Make Waves.

I came here to learn from the boss, to prepare for the "Sisters Who Make Waves" competition, and Sister Chen agreed.

Hearing Reba say that, Jiang Yifeng stopped paying attention to her and said to Yang Mi, "Why is Wan Na the second female lead? Because she is not just a female villain, but a mirror of the female lead Su Da."

Like Suda, she also suffered abuse and humiliation as a child.

However, she became completely corrupted, believing that society is cannibalistic and that to avoid being eaten, one must first eat others.

So she used her beauty and intelligence to climb the social ladder step by step, resorting to any means to succeed, and causing the deaths of many people.

Although Suda's revenge was only directed at her enemies, she was still killing them with vigilante justice. Once her moral compass crumbles, she could become the next Wanna at any time.

Therefore, the struggle between the two is not a simple life-or-death struggle, but is mixed with complex emotions of looking in the mirror, and even a struggle of ideologies.

Your performance, whether it's resentment or ruthlessness, lacks sufficient emotion; it only features formulaic expressions, let alone any depth.

We won't film your scenes today. Think it over carefully. I can only give you three days.

If your performance doesn't improve within three days, I'll have to find another actor.

Jiang Yifeng is not a hesitant person. If Yang Mi really can't get into character, he really will replace her.

He doesn't have high expectations for acting skills; Gao Yuanyuan can train him well.

Yang Mi's problem is that she's too greasy; she needs to simplify her image.

Yang Mi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words.

She received the absolute leading lady treatment in the Palace drama crew; everyone fawned over her.

Arriving at Jiang Yifeng's film crew, however, was met with a bucket of cold water.

Seeing Yang Mi's frustrated and embarrassed look, Wang Ou almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dilraba also took a second look out of curiosity.

These two sisters from Jaywalk Studio met on set beforehand.

Jiang Yifeng didn't say anything more; today's progress had already been delayed considerably.

After lunch, he moved on to filming the later scenes.

Dilraba seems to have gotten quite addicted to being Jiang Yifeng's assistant, actively serving him tea and water.

My overall performance is much better than before at the company.

Jiang Yifeng didn't have time to deal with her either. The filming this morning was delayed, and in order to catch up with the schedule, two more scenes were added in the evening.

They filmed until almost 10 p.m. before announcing they were off work.

Gao Yuanyuan walked over, looked at the attentive Reba, and teased, "President Jiang is so lucky, he's got another new assistant, and they're all so beautiful!"
I just don't know if it will work well.

These words were somewhat aggressive, but to everyone's surprise, Dilraba didn't get angry. Instead, she greeted Gao Yuanyuan warmly.

"Hello, Sister Yuanyuan. I'm Nazha's good friend. She often mentions you to me and always praises your beauty."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan stopped her attack and could only respond politely with a couple of words.

Jiang Yifeng was somewhat surprised to see this.

"Have you changed your mind today?"

"What do you mean, boss? I don't understand."

"You weren't this talkative before."

"Isn't this why I'm trying to change myself so I can appear on the show?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng didn't think much of it and said, "It's getting late, you should go back first. You don't need to come tomorrow. I'm very busy filming on set and don't have time to teach you."

"It's okay, boss. I have nothing to do during the holiday anyway. I can study on my own and won't bother you."

Seeing what Dilraba said, Jiang Yifeng didn't try to persuade her anymore.

Gao Yuanyuan kissed Jiang Yifeng and said, "You'll definitely be teaching Yang Mi acting tonight, so I'll be going now."

Jiang Yifeng embraced Gao Yuanyuan, returned a deep kiss, and said, "You understand me best; we have such great chemistry!"

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Jiang Yifeng and left happily. Dilraba, seeing such a thrilling scene up close for the first time, blushed a little.

After saying goodbye, she also left the film crew.

Seeing that most of the people had left, Wang Ou walked over with a big smile on his face.

She was very excited today, not only because Yang Mi had been humiliated, but also because Jiang Yifeng had invited her to read the script together that evening.

In Wang Ou's eyes, Jiang Yifeng was tall and handsome, and even if he had nothing, she would still be willing to have something happen between them.

Moreover, Director Jiang has abundant resources; giving her just a little bit would be enough to elevate her career to a new level.

After receiving Jiang Yifeng's invitation, Wang Ou made preparations.

She made a point of going back to her apartment early to take a shower, apply lotion, and spray some perfume before coming over in a sexy flight attendant uniform.

Wang Ou also brought a bag containing another set of sexy lingerie.

Full of anticipation, she followed Jiang Yifeng into a house.

But they found Yang Mi lying on the sofa, wearing an attack speed set, and even her toes were painted with bright red nail polish.

The two sworn enemies collided, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Seeing the two women looking at each other, Jiang Yifeng said, "Yang Mi, you hate Wang Ou. Tonight, I'll let Wang Ou teach you a lesson and let you experience what real anger and hatred are."

Upon seeing Yang Mi, Wang Ou was initially hesitant to proceed.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng say that, she immediately became interested.

Yang Mi had no choice; her acting skills weren't up to par, and she had previously promised that Jiang Yifeng would let her use any means necessary once she joined the crew.

Jiang Yifeng had to make sacrifices for the sake of film and television art.

I experienced the premium version of the glow-in-the-dark script.

It has to be said that the effect was quite good; Yang Mi actually found some feeling from being bullied by Wang Ou.

Actually, her acting skills are still quite good. As long as she can focus on her emotions, simplify her acting, and cooperate with the overall crew, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Moreover, she has the advantage of a good figure, and the big bear is still very attractive.

After two consecutive nights of practice, Yang Mi gradually found her rhythm.

Filming has resumed normally.

However, the rift between the two women is only getting thicker and thicker.

Jiang Yifeng didn't care about this situation; it was just for fun, as long as it didn't affect the filming.

Filming for the second season of Dark Glory wrapped up on September 17th.

According to the plan, this season will have the same 16 episodes as the previous season, and the filming period will also be 5 weeks.

However, since the second season of Dark Glory was sold to television stations in countries and regions such as Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, it was not filmed and broadcast simultaneously this time.

Instead, we'll film everything first, do the post-production work, and then update it gradually.

On the morning of the 18th, Jiang Yifeng arrived at the company and saw Reba standing in the office.

She was wearing the work uniform that Jiang Yifeng had modified for her, but without the scarf, which made her very alluring.

Seemingly knowing what Jiang Yifeng wanted to ask, Dilraba took the initiative to explain: "Our album MV is still being filmed. Today we are filming Li Yitong and the other three girls. Hot Love is preparing for the recording of Sisters Who Make Waves."

I've come to learn from you, boss.

All 13 songs on the new album by the 101 girl group will have music videos recorded. Some of these songs feature the entire group, while others are recorded by smaller teams.

Jiang Yifeng nodded, and as soon as he sat down, Reba brought him a cup of tea.

"Boss, this is freshly brewed tea, the temperature is just right."

Jiang Yifeng took a sip of tea and asked, "You've been my assistant six times these past few days. What have you learned?"

Dilraba firmly stated, "Order! I learned about order by working alongside my boss."

Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Whether in the company or on the film set, you, boss, have established a stable order."

Everyone is gathered around you, and work is carried out in an orderly and systematic manner.

Therefore, the work efficiency is very high.

The same applies to your personal life. Although you have many women, they all follow your rules, so things are very harmonious.

This reminded me of our girl group, Produce 101.

We are the same.

Naza is the team leader, so she has more say. Zhang Tianai is first, she is second, and I am third.

Our hot love is the core of the 101 girl group, and order should be built around us.

Only in this way can the team operate harmoniously and stably.

This is actually how Dilraba usually behaves.

She valued Nazar and Zhang Tianai quite a bit, and spoke to them warmly.

He spoke very little to Li Yitong and Yang Caiyu, seemingly introverted, but actually just didn't want to talk to them, giving off a somewhat indifferent vibe.

These days, she's been working as Jiang Yifeng's assistant, and through her own experience in a girl group, she's come to understand a twisted logic about order.

She continued, "I should also maintain order on the Sisters Who Make Waves show."

As a junior newcomer, I cannot break the rules, so I will immediately select a highly respected group leader and establish order around that leader.

That makes things much simpler.

Jiang Yifeng: "..."

Jiang Yifeng never expected that Reba would become a guardian of order.

Thinking about how Jiaxing had tormented her in her previous life, yet she still chose to renew her contract in the end, Jiang Yifeng felt relieved.

Maybe that's just her personality.

Jiang Yifeng said, "Alright, you can have your own ideas, but don't take it too seriously on the show."

Reba quickly said, "No, I'm just following the rules. The order is established and maintained by the group leader."

On the show, I will unwaveringly support our group leader.

Just like in life, I unwaveringly support you, my boss.

Seeing Dilraba's devout expression, Jiang Yifeng felt that this girl had truly come to her senses.

They also know how to show loyalty.

However, this trick was used in a slightly off-track way!
