This director lacks vision.

Chapter 163 Yuan Li's Reversal of Reputation

After arriving in Jiangyin, the car drove directly to the Jiangyin International Hotel.

Assistant Li Xia completed the check-in procedures. Jiang Yifeng looked at Shu Chang and asked, "Is there any restaurant you'd like to eat at? If not, just grab something to eat at the hotel."

We'll go straight back to our hotel room to rest later.

Shu Chang misunderstood, but she did not refuse.

After all, she had done foot massages and kissing games with Jiang Yifeng many times, and her affection level had long been up to par.

She said, "I don't know much about Jiangyin either, so let's just eat at the hotel."

Are we just staying at the hotel this afternoon? I thought we had a promotional event planned.

As Jiang Yifeng walked toward the restaurant, he explained, "The promotional event is tomorrow morning, but it won't be very effective. The Hundred Flowers Awards aren't that popular, so we can just do a casual job."

It's hot in the afternoon, so we'll rest at the hotel. I'll take you sightseeing again in the evening.

The second episode of Sisters Who Make Waves aired last night, but I haven't watched it yet.

Hearing this, Shu Chang nodded and said with a smile, "This season of Sisters Who Make Waves has a lot of highlights, and we had a lot of fun during the recording."

Jiang Yifeng asked, "What are the highlights?"

Shu Chang smiled and said playfully, "I won't tell you, and I suggest you watch it tonight."

The second part of episode 2 will be released tonight, so you can watch both parts in one go.

Jiang Yifeng looked at the sweet and lovely Shu Chang and teased, "Am I afraid I won't have time tonight, or are you already impatient this afternoon?"

Shu Chang was still a newcomer, and she was a little nervous when the moment came.

She quickly changed the subject, asking, "Lost in Thailand has received multiple nominations, do you think it will win this time?"

Jiang Yifeng did not answer immediately. Instead, he sat down in the private room, asked his assistant to order food, and then said, "There will definitely be a prize. What would I be doing here if there was no prize?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Chang became somewhat excited and said, "Then wouldn't you be going to win Best Director?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"How could that be? If I'm not mistaken, he should be the best actor."

The film "Lost in Thailand" was nominated for three awards at this year's Hundred Flowers Awards: Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.

Before arriving, Han Sanpin had hinted to Jiang Yifeng that the "Lost in Thailand" crew would definitely win an award.

That's why Jiang Yifeng came to support him.

Shu Chang asked curiously, "Why the Best Actor?"

Jiang Yifeng analyzed: "The Hundred Flowers Awards have been sponsored by Huayi for the past few years, and are jokingly referred to by outsiders as Huayi's annual party award."

The Best Film award definitely goes to "The Founding of a Republic," and no one dares to challenge it.

Then the best director award will undoubtedly go to Feng Xiaogang.

"If You Are the One" made Huayi Brothers a lot of money, and now the second installment is about to be released. Winning a prestigious award for the first film is also a way to promote the upcoming "If You Are the One 2".

Since he lost both of those awards, he can only win Best Actor for "Lost in Thailand".

It just so happens that Wang Baoqiang is an artist under Huayi Brothers Entertainment, so this is a case of keeping the benefits within the family.

Shu Chang is smart; she understood Jiang Yifeng's analysis immediately.

But she also had her own ideas.

"The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are held every two years. There are too many films nominated, so they often have a tie. I think this year will be no different."

Jiang Yifeng patted Shu Chang's head and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words. Anyway, I'm just here to have some fun. I don't really care about awards or anything."

This trip to Jiangxi Plastics coincided with the season for hairy crabs.

Although the Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs at the hotel were also "washed crabs" (meaning they were given a bath), the crab-peeling service was quite good. Jiang Yifeng enjoyed a delicious crab feast and then took Shu Chang to the suite on the top floor.

Seeing that Shu Chang had entered the room without saying a word, Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "Would you like me to give you a foot massage first?"

Shu Chang's eyes were bright and sparkling. She opened her suitcase and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first."

Jiang Yifeng looked at the various erotic outfits and even some toys in Shu Chang's suitcase and asked curiously, "Why did you bring these things?"

Shu Chang took out a set of red clothes and quickly closed her suitcase.

“Sissi told me that you like these things.”

"Oh dear~ Sisi is turning the tables on me!"

"Really? Then I'll put this silly girl's outfit back."

Jiang Yifeng: "..."

"Ahem, silly girl, I have to try it. Sisi really understands me."

"Haha~"

Seeing Jiang Yifeng's shameless behavior, Shu Chang laughed heartily.

That smile dispelled the tense and awkward atmosphere.

Shu hummed a little tune as she walked into the restroom.

About 20 minutes later, Shu Chang came out, wearing a high-quality battle outfit from Sha Niu.

Seeing Jiang Yifeng's satisfied expression, Shu Chang felt somewhat smug.

She turned around and said, "Sisi said you're good at altering clothes, why don't you alter mine too?"

Jiang Yifeng also helped Liu Yifei modify the costume for the role of Little Dragon Girl.

He put his arm around Shu Chang, feeling her cool, smooth skin, and said with a smile, "It seems you two best friends have talked a lot. It's just a pity I didn't bring any modification tools."

Shu Chang said softly, "I brought it."

Then she broke free from Jiang Yifeng's embrace and took out scissors and other tools from her suitcase.

"You're very well prepared."

Jiang Yifeng took the tools and started trimming and pruning Shu Chang's clothes.

Before long, Silly Girl's battle suit became quite distinctive and convenient for combat.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Liu Yifei may seem aloof, but she's actually a somewhat neurotic fun-loving person who enjoys niche games.

Jing Tian appears wealthy and elegant, but she has an ostrich-like personality and prefers athletic men with good physiques.
Shu Chang has a pure and sweet appearance, and is petite and delicate, looking like she could be held in one hand. In fact, she is very independent and has a strong personality.

Once they get going, they're incredibly enthusiastic, never give up, and always want to take control.

……

After some modifications, Shu Chang still said defiantly, "I'll dress up as the Heavenly Child Granny one day and see if you're scared!" Jiang Yifeng laughed and quickly said, "No way, Shui Sheng and Xiao Yu are so pretty, what's with the Heavenly Child Granny?"

"If you can do Avatar, why can't the Heavenly Child Granny?"

"Then you need to change your makeup. Your Tianshan Child Granny look is a bit creepy."

Upon hearing this, Shu Chang playfully said, "Never mind then. I was originally planning to tell Qianqian so you could enjoy the pleasures of the carefree sect."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll play the Heavenly Child Granny, and Xixi will play Li Qiushui, Wang Yuyan's grandmother, so you can experience what it's like to be Wuyazi."

"Ahem, now that you mention it, I suddenly think the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny is quite nice."

"Really? Didn't you just say you didn't like it?"

"Did I just say that? I don't remember."

"Hmph! You don't remember? I'll make you remember!"

……

It must be said that Shu Chang is very clever and quick-witted.

She lacked confidence before and didn't fully utilize her intelligence.

After appearing on the show "Sisters Who Make Waves" and gaining the love and support of the audience, Shu Chang became more confident, more daring, and more lively.

The saying goes that fame brings health and well-being; one of the biggest changes that comes with fame is one's mindset.

Jiang Yifeng and Shu Chang stayed at the hotel all afternoon and didn't go out for a stroll in the evening.

Because Shu Chang is physically unable to move around.

With Shu Chang by his side, Jiang Yifeng watched the second episode of Sisters Who Make Waves.

This episode still features many arguments and disputes, as well as a battle of wits where an undercover agent gathers intelligence. Shu Chang even tricked Liu Yifei into giving her a switch card, which was very interesting.

But in Jiang Yifeng's opinion, the biggest highlight of this episode is the sisters' first group performance.

The stage performances in this episode were much better than the initial stage performances.

On the one hand, the stage performance this time has undergone sound editing and backing sound, and the stage design is also more meticulous;
On the other hand, the performances by the six groups were also very well done.

The performance of "The Days on Yanjing East Road" by Dilraba's group, interwoven with photos and videos of the sisters during their school days, touched many people;
The group's performance of "Wake" was full of energy, especially Qin Lan's performance, which was captivating and amazed many people.

This is yet another script arranged for Qin Lan by the production team.

After her initial performance, Qin Lan received a B grade, making her the most controversial core member of the group in terms of both grades and experience.

Therefore, Qin Lan was the most serious and hardworking during the training last week, practicing every dance move repeatedly.

Hard work pays off, and Qin Lan's performance on stage this time has won everyone's recognition.

I achieved an A grade, which can be considered a remarkable comeback.

Zhang Tianai's group ultimately chose the upbeat song "Don't Dance," and their performance was good, but it didn't have many memorable moments.

Their group was less interesting than the other groups overall.

Liu Yifei's group gave "Heartbeat" a more curry-like flavor, and together with Liu Yifei, the six group members wore traditional Indian costumes and jumped around on stage.

The show was very entertaining, and Jiang Yifeng kept laughing.

Especially Liu Yifei and Yuan Li, those two crazy people, after getting carried away with their singing, they even had a dance battle on stage, which was both awkward and hilarious.

The Shu Singing Group performed a song from Journey to the West called "Daughter's Love," sung by Li Lingyu, with Liu Xiaoli playing the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, He Qing playing the Jade Rabbit Spirit, Zheng Xiuzhen playing the White Bone Demon, and Kim Hee-sun playing the Spider Spirit.

The overall performance was excellent, earning the team the second-highest score.

Jing Tian's team won first place.

The medley of songs, "Drunk in the Spring Breeze" and "Falling in Love with Zhang Wuji," instantly transported everyone back to seven years ago.

Alyssa Chia as Zhao Min, Chen Zihan as Yin Li, Chen Xiuli as Xiao Zhao, Lin Jing as Ding Minjun, plus the surprise appearance of Gao Yuanyuan.

The addition of Zhou Zhiruo has fully captured the nostalgia of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

The most amazing thing is that Jing Tian also personally took to the role, dressing up as a man to play Zhang Wuji.

This song and dance performance received unanimous praise from the audience and ultimately scored first place.

After the competition, Jing Tian once again uttered her famous quote: "Is being an agent difficult?"

This really put Jing Tian in her place.

This kind of successful show-off plot is very enjoyable for the audience.

Therefore, Jing Tian's popularity increased significantly after this episode aired.

However, the one who benefited the most was Yuan Li.

Yuan Li and Liu Yifei really sparked a connection when they were together.

She trains hard offstage and performs wholeheartedly onstage, an attitude that has touched many viewers.

Moreover, one of the unique features of Sisters Who Make Waves is that the sisters gather together to chat.

Sometimes they're sarcastic, sometimes they argue face-to-face, and sometimes they discuss very sensitive topics.

After all, they're both older sisters, and we often chat on the highway.

During a chat in Liu Yifei's group, the topic of marriage and relationships came up.

Yuan Li talked about her foreign husband, complaining bitterly and expressing her grievances. In the end, she concluded: "Based on my real experience, Chinese husbands are much better than foreign husbands. Chinese men are still the best."

Yuan Li has said this in many interviews, but it hasn't attracted much attention.

But the show "Sisters Who Make Waves" is very popular, and Yuan Li has been in the eye of the storm these days, making her a focus of attention.

After the second episode aired, Yuan Li's words immediately became a trending topic and attracted a lot of attention.

Yuan Li thus gained a lot of support from male netizens.

Of course, some female netizens did lose their composure, but the number was not large.

Because of this statement, many people's impression of Yuan Li improved.

Some people started digging into Yuan Li's past behavior and discovered that this woman was a "split personality lunatic," and it was normal for her to do some abstract things.

But at least she is genuine and unpretentious, and her words and actions are consistent.

Moreover, as an actress, her performances in film, television, and on stage are impeccable.

As a result, Yuan Li's reputation gradually reversed.

Surprisingly, they started to gain a lot of fans.
