This director lacks vision.

Chapter 243 The Tian-Song Dispute: Is President Jiang Raising a Gu?
On the morning of September 11, Tian Qianwei arrived at the Pacific Rim Film and Amusement Park in Tongzhou District.

This amusement park has become a hit ever since Pacific Rim became a movie.

Every day, many tourists come here to take photos, see the models of mechs and alien beasts, and also enjoy various rides in the amusement park.

Since it was still early, Tian Qianwei deliberately got off the bus early to experience the atmosphere of the amusement park.

She will only turn 14 next month. She is still young, not only playful and active, but also has a strong curiosity about everything.

"younger sister!"

Tian Qianwei had only taken a few steps when she heard someone call out to her younger sister.

She instinctively turned around and saw two women in their twenties looking at her with excited expressions.

"My sister! It really is my sister!"

"Little sister" is the special nickname everyone uses for Tian Qianwei on the show "Back to Field".

Since the hit show "Back to Field" aired, not only has Huang Lei become popular again, but Meng Ziyi and Tian Qianwei have also become famous.

Meng Ziyi is the more controversial one.

Because her mouth is prickly, she looks rather plain, and she speaks in a very stern way.

Many viewers dislike her.

However, many viewers also like Meng Ziyi, feeling that she is genuine, outspoken, and has a great comedic presence on variety shows.

Moreover, she is known as Jiang Yifeng's cousin, and many of Jiang Yifeng's fans extend their affection to her because of her.

Comparatively speaking, Tian Qianwei is less popular than Meng Ziyi, and she also has far fewer controversies.

After all, she was chosen by Jiang Yifeng from among ordinary people as the nation's little sister.

The audience is more likely to empathize with her, and they will emotionally support her.

Moreover, Tian Qianwei is pretty and young, and people don't think it's a big deal when she occasionally acts mischievously on the show.

Instead, it was his signature mischievous smile that attracted many fans.

After being recognized by passersby, Tian Qianwei did not panic. She smiled and took a photo with them.

This wasn't the first time Tian Qianwei had been recognized; she was used to it.

So far, six episodes of "Back to Field" have aired, and Tian Xiwei is gradually getting used to the feeling of fame.

After passing through the amusement park, Tian Qianwei entered the film and television city.

There are eight streets in total, forming two squares that surround the innermost alien beast photography studio.

When Jiang Yifeng is not filming, this place will be open to tourists for a limited time.

When Jiang Yifeng starts filming, this place will be closed off.

When Tian Qianwei entered the studio, she saw that the second female lead, Fan Bingbing, had already arrived, and she quickly and politely greeted her.

Looking at Tian Qianwei, Fan Bingbing sighed enviously, "If only I had been half as lucky as you back then. You were chosen by President Jiang, and you were promoted by him right from the start. You also had him protecting you from all the storms. You were so lucky."

Tian Qianwei has heard similar things far too often lately.

She responded skillfully, "I also feel like I'm dreaming. Being chosen by the boss feels unreal."

My dad even went back to our hometown to pay respects to our ancestors, and my mom went to the temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows.

She had just finished speaking when Jiang Yifeng's voice came from behind her.

"There's no need to exaggerate like that. You've only just entered the entertainment industry, and you have a long road ahead of you. You never know what might happen."

Tian Qianwei immediately turned around. She was about to flirt with her boss when she saw a beautiful girl standing next to Jiang Yifeng.

The girl has delicate features and a heroic air about her. She looks a lot like Cecilia Cheung and is none other than Song Zuer, who failed the audition for the "Nation's Little Sister".

Tian Qianwei cleverly said, "What the boss said is true. Our company's Liu Yifei and senior Shu Chang both debuted and became famous when they were thirteen or fourteen years old."

I'm still far behind them.

When Tian Qianwei mentioned Shu Chang, Song Zuer raised her head with a hint of pride.

She is still very resentful and feels that it is unfair that the nation's little sister was taken away by Tian Qianwei.

Seeing the popularity of the TV series "Back to Field", Tian Qianwei gained widespread attention and began to rise to fame, and Song Zuer felt a burning passion in her heart.

Jiang Yifeng patted Song Zuer's head and said with a smile, "You are all artists in the company now, and you will all play minor supporting roles in Pacific Rim."

I will give you all the same opportunity and let you compete fairly.

I will make a Pacific Rim spin-off movie as early as next year, or at the latest the year after.

The female lead will be chosen from the supporting roles played by the two of you.

This is a long competition; whoever wins gets the lead role.

With Shu Chang's recommendation, Song Zuer also joined Fengxing Media.

Jiang Yifeng had no prejudice against Song Zuer; she had only gone astray while studying abroad in her previous life.

Since he's currently in the country, as long as he receives proper training, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Tian Qianwei was the school's leader when she was in high school.

Putting everything else aside, among the new generation of young actresses, Song Zuer's looks are still quite striking, and her professional skills are also quite good.

Like Tian Qianwei, she is a very recognizable young actress.

Allowing these two to compete will also benefit their growth.

We can't give them resources too easily, making them think that becoming famous is easy, otherwise they'll be spoiled and gradually lose their competitiveness.

Only healthy, even fierce, competition can enable Tian Qianwei and Song Zuer to make faster progress.

Before Tian Qianwei and Song Zuer could speak after hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Fan Bingbing spoke up.

"President Jiang, you're too good to the company's artists. When will you give me, the second female lead, my own big movie?"
"As long as you can make me a movie, I'll do whatever you want with me!"

Fan Bingbing's words were very ambiguous, but they were also sincere.

She really wanted to make a movie with a strong female lead and experience what it's like to carry a box office.

Starting in 2010, Fan Bingbing's popularity soared, but she mainly gained fame through red carpet appearances and self-promotion, earning her the nickname "carpet star."

There's also the saying, "The actor is famous, but the play isn't."

This means that apart from Jin Suo, Fan Bingbing does not have any other well-known or representative roles.

This claim only subsided after the broadcast of "The Empress of China" at the end of 2014. Following the success of "The Empress of China," Fan Bingbing's career reached its peak.

Tian Qianwei and Song Zuer were already very interested in the movie Jiang Yifeng mentioned, and now that they saw how much the top actress Fan Bingbing coveted it, they became even more determined to get it.

The two women exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

If there were special effects, they could add a flash of lightning between the two women to highlight the tense atmosphere of irreconcilable enmity and a fight to the death.

Jing Tian walked over and asked, "You don't mean you want them to film Stranger Things, do you?"

"No, Stranger Things is a TV series, I'm talking about the movie." Seeing everyone's curiosity, Jiang Yifeng said, "The movie is tentatively titled The Witch, and it's a female-led action movie, the really cool kind."

It's said that if someone can star in this movie, they'll be a star for at least another decade or more—that's absolutely no problem.

That's all I can tell you; I can't say any more.

The plot of Pacific Rim Season 2 picks up where the first season left off.

Si Teng discovered that Fan Jinxi's identity was suspicious and also learned that there was a bigger mole within the Mecha Research and Development Bureau.

Just as she was about to investigate, Fan Jinxi was suddenly imprisoned and became involved in a nationwide case of missing girls.

Si Teng's further investigation revealed that all the clues pointed to Fan Jinxi, who seemed to be innocent. These missing girls had all been sent to a mysterious laboratory.

Moreover, during the investigation, Sito had a vague sense of familiarity, and fragments of memory flashed through her mind, as if this case of a missing girl was related to her.

Sito suspects that she might also be one of the missing girls, and since this case is related to the mystery of her identity, she must investigate it thoroughly.

However, the mythical beasts in the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas suddenly rioted, with several beasts launching attacks in succession. Although humans repelled these beasts, they also suffered considerable losses.

The monster attacks continue, and in order to figure out the cause of their uprising and to continue gathering intelligence on the other world, the suicide squad must regroup...

Tian Qianwei and Song Zuer play the two girls who were rescued from the missing persons case.

The two appear together in this season, with a total of two episodes and seven or eight minutes of screen time.

However, it was a subplot and foreshadowing planted by Jiang Yifeng.

One of these two girls will become a witch and take bloody revenge on the evil forces that kidnapped her; she will be the female protagonist of the movie "The Witch".

The witch character is supposed to be a young girl, and both Tian Qianwei and Song Zuer can play the role; both women have a sweet yet wicked look.

At 10 a.m., the press conference for the start of filming of Pacific Rim Season 2 was held.

The main cast remains the same: Jing Tian, ​​Fan Bingbing, Bai Yu, and Wang Baoqiang.

Several supporting roles were changed, since the characters played by Jiang Yifeng, Wu Jing, and Li Chen all died in battle.

At the press conference, reporters continued to press for answers regarding the "Jiang Yifeng's three attacks on Huayi".

Jiang Yifeng didn't expect that even after he had been traveling abroad for more than ten days, this matter would still be so popular.

He smiled and said, "I haven't read the article you mentioned, so I can't comment on whether it's true or false."

However, director Feng Xiaogang has already accepted the challenge; we will compete against each other during the same film season next year.

To avoid any unfairness, I can promise here that I will never use a blockbuster like Pacific Rim to compete with him, lest Director Feng accuse me of bullying him with a special effects extravaganza.

This remark was met with a burst of laughter from the audience.

After Jiang Yifeng's words were reported by reporters, they became a hot news item again, and Feng Xiaogang was ridiculed by everyone, which made him so angry that he lost his temper on the set of "1942".

After the press conference, filming for Pacific Rim Season 2 officially began.

With the experience of using models, props, and filming from the first season, filming the second season went much more smoothly.

Everything was normal, except that two pretty girls on set got into a fight.

Even after Tian Qianwei and Song Zuer finished filming their scenes for Pacific Rim 2, they still frequently visited the film set.

The two women practiced martial arts and underwent various forms of training every day in order to play the role of witches. They not only competed fiercely in terms of physical strength, but also argued every day.

"I learned Luohan Long Fist yesterday, watch me practice!"

Song Zuer's set of punches was quite impressive, but Tian Qianwei was very dismissive.

"Tch! Your punches are all show and no substance, all weak and powerless. Watch this punch of mine, it'll send the sandbag flying!"

"All you know is brute force. To make movies, the fight scenes need to look good. Your movements are too clumsy and not fluid at all!"

"You're talking nonsense! Every punch and kick I landed was real, the boss said it's real, hard-hitting kung fu!"

"Hehe, you're such a silly girl, all strength and no brains. My brother-in-law always praises my graceful and beautiful movements, and I can even do wire work!"

"What brother-in-law? Don't call me that."

"Why can't I call her? Don't you know about my cousin Shu Chang's relationship with President Jiang?"

"Then I'll call President Jiang 'Cousin'!"

"Why do you?"

"I am Sister Meng's younger sister, and President Jiang is Sister Meng's cousin, so of course he is also my cousin!"

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, who don't have to study at school, have a lot of energy.

The two women are truly putting all their effort into competing for the title of "Witch" and the chance to remain popular for over a decade.

Seeing how they always wanted to compete with each other, Jing Tian sighed, "Dear Director Jiang, are you raising a hornet's nest?"

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? The basic skills they've developed during this time will likely benefit them for life."

Jing Tian nodded and said enviously, "That's right. If I had met you earlier, I might have learned some kung fu by now."

“You need to broaden your perspective,” Jiang Yifeng said. “No matter how they fight, you are the absolute leading lady of Pacific Rim.”

These are all your sisters.

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian smiled with satisfaction, completely oblivious to the deeper meaning behind Jiang Yifeng's words.

She said, "Fan Bingbing asked me to have dinner with him tonight. What do you think, should I say yes?"

Jiang Yifeng said with righteous indignation, "This matter is related to the cooperation and tacit understanding of the crew. The better the cooperation of you leading actors, the higher the quality of Pacific Rim will be."

Of course you have to agree, all for the sake of art!

Jing Tian rolled her eyes at Jiang Yifeng and said, "Then I'll arrange to eat at home. You can come sneakily and we can play a surprise attack game!"

It has to be said that Jing Tian is getting better and better at having fun.

For the sake of art, Jiang Yifeng had no choice but to cooperate with her.
