This director lacks vision.

Chapter 327 Why did you have to provoke Jiang Yifeng for no reason?
On June 26th, filming for Pacific Rim officially wrapped, and the long post-production process begins.

The earliest the movie will be released is next summer.

It might also be during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

The specific release date depends on the post-production progress.

Jiang Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Tian Qianwei walked over and asked, "Boss, when will filming for 'The Witch' begin?"

Looking into Xiaotian's expectant eyes, Jiang Yifeng said, "Don't rush, at least rest for a while first."

Jiang Yifeng's original plan was to release The Witch after Pacific Rim.

So I'm not in a hurry for this movie.

Jiang Yifeng has been busy filming, with Cannes in between, and also has to take care of company work. He's been quite busy, so he's thinking of taking a break for a month or two.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Tian Qianwei nodded and revealed her true purpose.

"Can I take two days off tomorrow and the day after?"

"Of course, it's fine to take a break occasionally. It's good to balance work and rest."

With Jiang Yifeng's permission, Tian Qianwei gave a shout of "Yay!" and then playfully kissed him on the cheek before sweetly saying, "Thank you, boss! You're the best!"

After the witch battle ended, Tian Qianwei and Song Zuer shifted their battlefield.

The two women began vying to get close to Jiang Yifeng.

This was started by Song Zuer.

Using the excuse of needing comfort after her failure, she clung to Jiang Yifeng for many days.

Jiang Yifeng patted Tian Qianwei's head and asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow? You're so happy just because you asked for a day off."

"The first episode of Produce 101 training camp starts recording tomorrow, and I've made plans with Sister Meng to go watch it live!"

Most of the contestants in this season of Produce 101 are between the ages of Meng Ziyi and Tian Qianwei, and I'm very interested in the two girls.

Especially Meng Ziyi.

She was a huge fan of the first season of Produce 101 and really liked Naza. She had originally planned to participate in the second season.

However, after recording "Back to Field," she has already gained considerable fame, and her plans have changed.

Meng Ziyi still felt some regret about not being able to participate in the second season of Produce 101.

So this time I plan to go to the site to experience the atmosphere.

Of course, this is only Meng Ziyi's side of the story.

Jiang Yifeng wasn't sure if there were any other motives.

It's hard to say whether Meng Ziyi's inner thoughts have changed after playing too many games imitating Nazar recently.

After all, if you do too much imitation and substitution, you're more likely to have the ambition to take it over.

Naza seems to have won over Zhang Tianai and Dilraba, as well as Meng Ziyi, Tian Qianwei, Li Yitong and Cheng Xiao, among others.

But Zhang Tianai is a boss-obsessed person who only listens to Jiang Yifeng, somewhat like Jing Tian. She is not actually very keen on forming cliques.

Dilraba has her own little secrets.

There was very little management of Meng Ziyi's side; in reality, Meng Ziyi was the one leading them.

So if Meng Ziyi really wants to replace Nazha and compete for the position of the eldest sister, then she does have a chance.

Her presence at the recording of Produce 101 Season 2 may well have been motivated by a desire to recruit more young actresses and gain more allies.

Seeing Tian Qianwei skip away, Jiang Yifeng turned around and went to the dressing room.

Jing Tian had already removed her makeup and was sitting in a chair chatting.

Jiang Yifeng went over to take a look and, wow, it was a three-person WeChat group chat called "The Only Cousin Group".

The group members are Meng Ziyi, Jing Tian, ​​and Reba.

Sister-in-law, you have to believe me. I'm just temporarily working undercover by Nazha's side, like Reba did.

In my heart, you will always be my only cousin-in-law.

[Reba can testify that I never said a bad word about you to Nazar. My main purpose was to instigate a conflict between Nazar and Liu Yifei/Shu Chang, so that you, my cousin-in-law, could reap the benefits!]

Seeing Meng Ziyi's speech, Jiang Yifeng smiled and confirmed that Meng Ziyi did indeed have the ambition to replace Nazha and had already begun to make plans.

Jiang Yifeng understood her tactics: she stirred up trouble between the "very sweet" and "hot" love stories, inciting infighting among the concubines, and then gathered a group of young actresses to seize the opportunity to rise to power.

This strategy is actually quite effective.

Compared to Naza's dullness, Meng Ziyi is actually quite smart; she just talks too fast.

Jing Tian was unaware that Meng Ziyi was an imposter cousin. She was all smiles as Meng Ziyi coaxed her, her fair fingers tapping incessantly on her phone screen.

[It's alright, cousin. I understand your difficulties. I don't like forming cliques, and I'm sorry you've suffered.]

[Introducing Dilraba to you this time is also to help you look out for each other and avoid accidentally harming your allies.]

Your choice to side with Nazar is excellent. Nazar is good for nothing except for her good looks, and poses no threat at all.

On the contrary, that Shu Chang is incredibly cunning; we must be wary of her.

After sending these messages, Jing Tian turned around and realized that Jiang Yifeng was standing behind her.

"Ouch! Don't you make any noise when you walk? You startled me!"

Jing Tian shuddered, almost dropping her phone.

She was frightened mainly because she felt guilty; after all, for Da Tian Tian, ​​playing these kinds of palace intrigue tactics always made her feel embarrassed.

Jiang Yifeng said with a smile, "Let me tell you there's a wrap party tonight. Ayase Haruka and Fan Bingbing will be there too. Dress appropriately, or I'll warn you."

The most basic thing among female celebrities is to compete for attention.

With other female stars present, Jing Tian would naturally pay more attention to her outfit to avoid being overshadowed.

As for Jing Tian's conversation with Meng Ziyi, Jiang Yifeng didn't mention it at all, pretending he hadn't seen it.

His principle is to not interfere in the struggles between women.

He will only intervene to mediate or suppress the situation if things go too far.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Jing Tian confidently said, "No problem, I've never lost a group photo!" Jing Tian has a rich and sweet temperament, and her skin is fair and delicate. In fact, she has almost never lost a group photo in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Moreover, she has also taken beauty serums and is now very confident.

At 6 p.m., Jiang Yifeng arrived at the hotel early to attend the wrap party.

Seeing that it was still early, he sat in the lounge playing on his phone and then saw a trending topic on Weibo.

#Feng Xiaogang: It's a pity that Personal Tailoring didn't encounter Jiang's comedy style#
Clicking through, I found an interview with Feng Xiaogang by an entertainment weekly, in which he said, "Jiang Yifeng has always said he wants to have a head-to-head competition with me, but we always miss each other."

When he was making comedies, I was making art films; when he was making art films, I was making comedies again.

This private customization was scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday season, originally intended to directly compete with Jiang's comedies during that period.

It's a pity that there are no comedy films starring Jiang Yifeng in this year's Lunar New Year film season.

It has to be said, this is a great pity!

After suffering a huge loss in 1942, Feng Xiaogang returned to the Lunar New Year comedy genre.

The movie he made this year is called Personal Tailor, and he invited talented actors such as Ge You and Fan Wei.

Even before the movie was released, various hype and promotional activities had already begun.

Jiang Yifeng's status is rising, and Feng Xiaogang is trying to ride his coattails.

He said that these words were clearly just a publicity stunt for the movie "Personal Tailor".

Jiang Yifeng opened the comments section and saw that some netizens were mocking him while others were supporting him.

"Feng Kuzi is getting old and his memory isn't good. Wasn't 'If You Are the One 2' released in the same period as 'Back to 20'? And then he got completely crushed!"

"Is it genuine forgetfulness or selective amnesia? Feng Xiaogang is truly shameless this time!"

"Feng Xiaogang is not wrong in saying that. Jiang Yifeng challenged Feng Xiaogang to a duel at the Huabiao Awards the year before last."

Since then, the two sides have indeed avoided direct competition on the same film genre, especially in the comedy genre.

"I support Feng Xiaogang! Because I want to see Jiang Yifeng's comedies! If there are no comedy films by Jiang Yifeng during the Lunar New Year season, it just feels like something is missing!"

"Jiang Yifeng made an action film during last year's Lunar New Year season. If he doesn't make a comedy this year, it will be the second consecutive year without a comedy during the Lunar New Year season!"

"Where are the sequels to the 'Lost in...' and 'Old Boys' series? Jiang Yifeng, hurry up and bring them out!"

The trending topic was clearly about Feng Xiaogang and "Personal Tailor," but the comments were all about Jiang Yifeng.

It can only be said that the audience has high expectations for Jiang Yifeng's comedy films.

Hu Qian, who was standing nearby, had already noticed the trending topic. She took the opportunity to say, "President Jiang, it is indeed a problem that the company does not have any movies to be released during the Lunar New Year season this year."

I think we can make a film called "Lost in Thailand" first, and then "The Witch".

You just happen to be looking to travel and relax, right? You could choose to go to Dali for a while and film this movie there as well.

Anyway, the movie script was already written and approved.

At your filming speed, you could finish shooting "Lost in..." in about a month, which would be perfect for the Lunar New Year release this year.

This year, Fengxing Media's contracted directors have indeed "gone cold."

Da Peng is still working on the script for his next movie, while Chen Sicheng has taken a three-month break and started preparing for the filming of Detective Chinatown. The project is still in the preparation stage.

Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior 2 is still casting, and the Real Men variety show is still in progress. Filming will definitely not start until next year.
Guo Fan is working as an assistant director for Jiang Yifeng.

Only Tien Yu-sheng was relatively prolific, continuing to film "Ex-Files 2," which is still scheduled for release on Singles' Day, November 11th.

There's also Lu Yang, who recently signed with the company, who's filming "Brotherhood of Blades." He's cast Fan Bingbing as the female lead, and filming has only just started.

Other directors are all making web series and TV dramas.

In the Lunar New Year film season, Fengxing Media indeed did not have any films competing this year, handing over the biggest slot to competitors such as Huayi Brothers and LeTV.

Hearing Hu Qian's suggestion, Jiang Yifeng also felt that it made sense.

In fact, he wasn't that tired while filming Pacific Rim; it was just that he did feel fatigued every day facing those special effects shooting scenes.

Making a comedy film is actually a relaxing experience.

This is like many people who sit in the office all day, don't go out on weekends, and stay at home all the time, which makes them more and more tired.

Going out for some exercise will actually make you feel much better.

Furthermore, if "Lost in Thailand" isn't filmed soon, it will really clash with Ning Hao's "Breakup Buddies".

It's going to be filmed sooner or later anyway.

Moreover, Dali is not yet fully commercialized, and staying there for a period of time is indeed very comfortable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng nodded and said, "Okay, please inform Huang Bai and Xu Zheng and tell them to prepare for filming."

This is where Jiang Yifeng's domineering nature lies; he doesn't care whether Huang Bai and Xu Zheng are available or not, and he just gives them a last-minute notice.

After exchanging a few more words with Hu Qian, Jiang Yifeng forwarded Feng Xiaogang's Weibo post and said, "I've always looked forward to exchanging ideas with Director Feng on comedy films again. I didn't expect that Director Feng felt the same way. The audience is also looking forward to it, so I certainly can't let them down."

I have some great news to share: the "Lost in Thailand" project has been officially launched, aiming for the Lunar New Year film season this year!
Director Feng, see you at the Lunar New Year film season!

After this Weibo post was published, netizens cheered!
The "Lost in Thailand" series has released two films, both of which broke domestic box office records. It can be said to be the most marketable comedy IP in China, accumulating a large number of fans.

These viewers were naturally very happy to see the sequel being filmed.

Many onlookers were there to watch the spectacle; the showdown between the two directors was a highlight.

A large number of netizens gathered under Feng Xiaogang's Weibo to make fun of him.

"Thank you, Director Feng! Without your Weibo account, we wouldn't know when we'd get to see a sequel to the Lost in..."

"Thank you, Director Feng. I hope you can hold on a little longer this time and not get crushed in one go."

"Thank you, Director Feng. You wouldn't withdraw the film and run away, would you?"

Upon seeing these comments, Feng Xiaogang turned pale with anger.

Wang Zhongjun was furious and, unusually, lost his temper with Feng Xiaogang: "Why did you provoke Jiang Yifeng for no reason?"
"Now look what's happened! A huge shark has entered the Lunar New Year film season. How are we supposed to compete?"

Feng Xiaogang: "..."
