This director lacks vision.

Chapter 343 Xiaohua's Fighting Incident
Jiang Yifeng experienced firsthand Liu Yifei's portrayal of Lu Xueqi.

It must be said that white ancient costumes are indeed the domain of celestial beings. Dressed in white, she is as pure and aloof as a fairy. Even with a tail, her eyes still exude a cold and stubborn charm that is irresistible.

In the end, it was Shu Chang who played the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

It can only be said that fate has its own plan.

In her previous life, Shu Chang played the nine-tailed celestial fox Xiao Bai in the TV series "The Legend of Chusen".

It remains the same now.

When she puts on the Nine-Tailed Fox, she has a unique and striking beauty.

Especially after the bear's mouth grew larger, the contrast between its childlike face and its enormous size, coupled with the alluring beauty of the nine-tailed celestial fox, maximized the attributes of this top-tier pet.

After her first audition, Liu Yifei lay on the big bed, her chubby little feet swinging back and forth, looking very comfortable.

She asked with a smile, "So, Lao Jiang, are you satisfied with Changchang's performance? Is she suitable to play Biyao?"

Jiang Yifeng looked at Shu Chang, whose face was rosy, and said, "Let Changchang play the role of Xiaobai for a while."

According to the setting of the novel *Zhu Xian*, Lu Xueqi and Xiao Bai are the two most beautiful women in the book, one ethereal and the other alluring, equally stunning.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng say this, Shu Chang smiled with satisfaction.

She still focuses on the film market and is the highest-grossing actress in China. She has high popularity and status, and doesn't value the role of Biyao much.

She only wanted to participate because Jiang Yifeng was the director of Jade Dynasty.

She said, "Then I'll play Xiaobai as a guest star. Who are you planning to cast as Biyao? And what about Tian Ling'er?"

Jiang Yifeng played with Shu Chang's little feet and casually said, "It's not decided yet, but I do have someone in mind."

It's highly likely that Li Yitong will play Tian Ling'er, and Tian Qianwei will play Biyao.

Li Yitong looks sweet and charming in period costume, making her very suitable to play Tian Ling'er.

As for Biyao, this character is a demonic witch who grew up by eating her mother's flesh and blood. She is also a fiery and passionate woman who dares to love and hate.

Zhao Liying's round face is completely unsuitable for playing Biyao.

However, compared to Yang Zi in her previous life, she seemed alright.

In Jiang Yifeng's opinion, since Tian Qianwei has already played a "witch", she should also play the demonic cultist Biyao.

In terms of appearance and temperament, Tian Qianwei is very suitable;

From the perspective of Tian Qianwei's personal growth, it is also very good.

At least leave a deep impression on the audience with a label – a villain.

Whether you're a celebrity or an actor, having a label is the best thing.

Tags can help audiences remember you and also help you find your comfort zone.

Moreover, the Chinese entertainment industry is lacking actresses who can portray villainous characters; they've all gone on to play sweet and innocent roles.

Tian Qianwei's approach is a one-way street that allows her to succeed in everything.

Moreover, it would be quite interesting to have Tong Xinwei and Min collaborate in Jade Dynasty.

This aligns with the typical business model of companies—big stars mentoring newcomers.

If Liu Yifei were to play Lu Xueqi and Shu Chang were to play Biyao, it would be a waste of resources to have two such big stars in the same show.

Liu Yifei played Lu Xueqi, while Tian Qianwei, a newcomer, played Biyao. This is a good way to make good use of resources to promote people.

Of course, Jiang Yifeng didn't consider these things; he simply felt that Tian Qianwei's image was more suitable for Biyao, the demoness from the Demonic Sect.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Shu Chang and Liu Yifei fell silent.

They support Song Zuer.

Tian Qianwei and Li Yitong are both Song Zuer's rivals, so this topic is not suitable to continue.

Both women understood Jiang Yifeng's personality, and they wouldn't interfere with his casting decisions in film and television productions.

That's life; if you fall behind even once, you're likely to fall behind every step of the way.

Song Zuer lost to Tian Qianwei in the witch competition, making it more difficult for her to catch up in the future.

However, this is relative, after all, Song Zuer has already signed with Fengxing Media, has a lot of resources, and her current popularity is not low.

The current development is much better than in the previous life.

Liu Yifei looked at Shu Chang and sighed, "We're all getting old. Now the company has the second generation of Produce 101, as well as new generation actresses like Zu'er and Xiao Tian."

I feel like I'm becoming obsolete.

Liu Yifei was just joking when she said that; personal development also depends on the times.

With the rise of mobile internet, people have more and more ways to entertain themselves, and their attention is scattered, so there will be fewer and fewer stars who can have national recognition.

It's not that the young actresses aren't working hard; it's just a matter of timing and fate.

That's why Jiang Yifeng wanted the company's young actresses to debut early. It's better to become famous as early as possible; the earlier you do, the more star power you'll have.

Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "So you and Changchang can work harder to set up a studio as soon as possible, and use the studio to sign young actresses so that they can work for you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.

The clever Shu Chang directly retorted: "Yes, we'll sign up some young actresses and then offer them to you, right?"
I think we're not running a studio, but a brothel; Sisi and I have become pimps.

Jiang Yifeng patted Shu Chang's increasingly rounded buttocks, causing ripples and eliciting a soft cry, before shamelessly saying, "Don't look down on madams. Madams don't take customers, yet they earn more than the girls."

Liu Yifei immediately said, "That won't do! Our main purpose is to entertain guests! It would be too much of a loss if we couldn't!"

Then he started singing, deliberately using a high-pitched voice, "Get up, little sister, our guest has arrived~"

Shu Chang rubbed his hindquarters and admitted defeat, "You go first, I'll rest a bit more."

There are also disadvantages to being big. As Shu Chang grew bigger, his burden also increased, and his ability to sustain combat decreased.

Because of her quirks, Liu Yifei developed a high pain tolerance, which made her even more courageous in battle.

Seeing that Liu Yifei had put on the fox ears, Jiang Yifeng had no choice but to try out the celestial version of the nine-tailed fox...

Just as Jiang Yifeng was talking with Tianxian, the little flower he was cultivating caused some trouble.

Although it was already 10:30 p.m., the classrooms at the Beijing Dance Academy were still brightly lit.

The school security office is used to this situation.

Students at the school often practice dance extra, especially when there are performances; practicing late into the night is commonplace.

But tonight's classroom wasn't for extra practice; instead, two groups were facing off.

One group consisted of Liu Jicun and several of her classmates, while the other group consisted of five members from the second generation of the 101 group: Wang Churen, Cheng Xiao, Yang Chaoyue, Zhou Ye, and Zhou Jieqiong.

For underage artists, Fengxing Media's management is quite humane, and they will help solve their schooling problems.

The company has a special partnership with the Beijing Dance Academy, and young actresses like Tian Qianwei and Cheng Xiao can attend specialized classes there.

In the future, they can choose to either finish their associate's degree and go straight to work, or apply to art schools such as the Beijing Film Academy.

After the second generation of the 101 group was established, Wang Churen and others were all affiliated with the Beijing Dance Academy.

They come here every now and then to stay at the school for a few days and attend classes.

After all, just having a degree without real academic credentials will draw criticism, and dance classes at the Beijing Dance Academy are also useful for girl groups.

The Beijing Dance Academy campus isn't very big, and since everyone there was a star student, Wang Churan and Liu Yicun naturally bumped into each other.

Upon seeing Liu Jicun again, Wang Churan was reminded of how Liu Jicun had framed her, and her anger flared up.

She couldn't hold back any longer and launched into a verbal attack, calling Liu Jicun a green tea bitch.

Liu Jicun couldn't stand it. She was now a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress winner, the pride of Beijing Dance Academy, and was fawned over by her classmates and teachers.

Besides, the Fanghua training camp at that time had all sorts of tricks up its sleeve, and she managed to deceive people through her own abilities.

Liu Jicun just thought Wang Churan was stupid and deserved to be deceived.

So she immediately retaliated.

The two exchanged insults for a while, but still felt unsatisfied, so they agreed to continue in the classroom that evening.

The second generation of Produce 101 members are quite united. The other four who take classes at the Beijing Dance Academy also came to support Wang Churan.

Liu Jicun also asked a few classmates to support him.

Thus, this standoff ensued. This time, with no one to disturb them, Wang Churan and Liu Jicun went all out and started arguing.

Liu Jicun is a pedantic and sarcastic person, a master of arguing, and very adept at playing the double agent.

Wang Churan may seem to roll her eyes and have a grumpy face, but she's actually not very good at arguing.

At first, Wang Churan was at a disadvantage, but she was well-prepared.

"You little one, you're not even 6 meters tall in heels. Even if you win the Cannes Best Actress award, you'll still have to look up and show off!"

Wang Churan had already found out that Liu Jicun's biggest concern was height.

She has a good foundation in dance and originally wanted to pursue further studies in dance, but her height has not increased. Now she is 15 years old and is only 1.55 meters tall.

Girls develop early, and by this age, their height growth basically stops.

Learning to dance is cruel; no matter how well you dance, if you don't have the physical talent, then it's no good.

This was also a thorn in Liu Jicun's side.

It was because of his short stature that Liu Jicun learned to drink tea and used it to cope with his physical disadvantage.

Now, Liu Jucun's biggest weakness was being mocked by Wang Churan, who even made up a rhyme about it, and Liu Jucun's expression immediately changed.

After all, Wang Churan is tall, already 1.7 meters tall at only 14 years old. She used a top-down perspective to attack Liu Jicun's height, which doubled the attack power.

Seeing that her moves were effective, Wang Churan continued to attack Liu Jicun's weaknesses.

He whispered in Liu Qicun's ear, "With your height, President Jiang definitely wouldn't be interested in you, so after you finished filming 'Youth,' you won't have any more roles."
That's what happens when you're not tall enough; your short legs can't even climb high enough! Haha!

Liu Yicun, who is known for his tea ceremony, has unusually turned reddish-brown.

She lost her mind and immediately reached out her claws to scratch Wang Churan's face!

Fortunately, Wang Churan reacted quickly, and the height difference between them helped her dodge the attack.

Wang Churan had long harbored resentment towards Liu Jicun. Seeing that Liu Jicun had made the first move, she didn't hold back and launched a counterattack.

The two women instantly started fighting. Although Liu Qicun was short, he was cunning and scratched her in various ways.

Wang Churan appeared to have suppressed Liu Jicun, but in reality, she suffered quite a bit of losses.

Seeing that things were not going well, Cheng Xiao went up and pulled them apart.

Jiang Yifeng made her the captain of the second-generation group, and Cheng Xiao still had a sense of responsibility.

However, she didn't notice that one of Liu Jicun's classmates took out his phone and took a few photos.

These few photos caused things to spiral out of control.

At midnight that night, rumors circulated on the Weibo supertopic of the second generation of 101 that Wang Churan and Liu Yicun had gotten into a fight.

It also included several photos.

This topic quickly sparked heated discussions, and in less than an hour, it became the second most searched topic on Weibo.

The top trending topic is Jiang Yifeng's remake of Jade Dynasty.

After all, the finale of Produce 101 just ended, Wang Churan is quite popular, and Liu Yicun is one of the most popular young actresses this year.

If it weren't for Jiang Yifeng's remake of Jade Dynasty, the news of their fight would definitely have been number one on the trending list.

The next morning, Jiang Yifeng woke up amidst the combined attacks of Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and was in a pretty good mood.

He arrived at the company with a big smile, only to see that the news of "Liu Jicun and Wang Churan fighting" had been reported by major media outlets and sparked heated discussions across the internet, already ranking first on the trending search list.

Some media outlets, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, have even used more serious terms like "mutual fighting" and "brawl."

Furthermore, some media outlets have revealed that Liu Jicun and Wang Churen had a strained relationship during the Fanghua training camp, indicating that their relationship was already strained at that time.

Netizens followed the gossip online, digging up all sorts of information.

Soon, Wang Churan's alternate account that had previously criticized Liu Yicun online was also exposed.

The pseudonym's name is quite straightforward: "Liu Jicun is a little green tea."

"Don't be fooled by Liu Jicun! She really is a scheming woman; Wang Churan is the best performer in the Fanghua Training Camp!"

"Liu Yicun stole Wang Churan's Best Actress award at Cannes. She used underhanded tricks to deceive Wang Churan. The role of Liu Miaomiao should have belonged to Wang Churan!"

"Liu Jicun is a green tea bitch, everyone should see through her true colors!"

"Just you wait and see, Wang Churan won't give up. She will return to her stage with the anger of being deceived! She will definitely be more famous than Liu Jicun in the future!"

"Mr. Jiang is the best boss and the best director. He is very fair. In the entertainment industry, only Mr. Jiang's auditions and selections are fair. All the others require bribes and connections."

"Wang Churan did indeed violate the rules, and it's not a problem for President Jiang to kick her out of the Fanghua Training Camp. However, Wang Churan's violation was due to being deceived by Liu Haocun. It's all the fault of that green tea bitch Liu Haocun!"

……

Upon seeing these comments from Wang Churan's alternate account, netizens who were following the gossip instantly went wild!

What everyone likes most is reading the posts from celebrities' alternate accounts.

Because this represents the celebrity's true thoughts.

Wang Churan's post on her alternate account confirmed media reports that she and Liu Jicun did indeed have a feud at the Fanghua training camp.

Everyone was even more curious: what exactly happened at the Fanghua training camp?
Netizens continued to dig deeper, and then someone revealed that Wang Churan participated in the audition for Lu Xueqi during the Fanghua training camp.

The whistleblower also attached photos of Wang Churan's audition.

When Wang Churan auditioned for the role of Lu Xueqi, she wore makeup inspired by Liu Yifei.

Netizens exclaimed in surprise after seeing the photo, "Isn't that Liu Yifei? The resemblance is uncanny!"
Why couldn't Lu Xueqi be selected?
Everyone fell silent when they looked at Sun Li's Lu Xueqi again...

Huanrui is really awesome!

Wang Churan's Liu Yifei-inspired makeup is really beautiful, completely outshining Sun Li by leaps and bounds, yet she was still eliminated.

Zhao Zhicheng was once again subjected to scathing criticism and condemnation from netizens.

After all the revelations were put together, netizens guessed the truth.

Wang Churan was tricked by Liu Jicun at the Fanghua Training Camp and violated the rules to participate in Lu Xueqi's audition. In the end, Lu Xueqi was not selected and was kicked out of the Fanghua Training Camp by Jiang Yifeng.

Some people called Wang Churan stupid, while others sympathized with her.

Of course, Jiang Yifeng's reputation rose again.

Even after being kicked by Jiang Yifeng, Wang Churan still spoke up for him and used her own experience to prove Jiang Yifeng's fairness.

This is a message sent to Jiang Yifeng.

Comparatively speaking, there are more people criticizing Liu Jicun.

The main reason is that Liu Jicun had such a good image before. She debuted at the age of fourteen and became a "Feng Girl" (a term referring to actresses who rose to fame through films starring Feng Xiaogang), winning the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award and receiving high praise for her acting skills.

During the release of "Youth," Liu Jicun's own interviews and press releases from the production team emphasized her experience of rural life for the role.

The audience felt that Liu Jicun had a good appearance and was hardworking and dedicated, making him an excellent actor.

Now that she's been exposed for deceiving competitors and getting into fights, her public image is crumbling, and people's impression of her has been severely damaged.

Soon after, other media outlets reported that improper operation at the dance studio run by Liu Jicun's parents had led to the paralysis of a student.

Although Jiang Yifeng gave Han Jianu instructions, Han Jianu could not allow Liu Jicun's parents to close the dance studio.

So the incident of the student becoming paralyzed still occurred at the end of last year.

Under pressure from Fengxing Media, Liu Jicun's parents handled the matter properly, providing compensation and other necessary measures.

But this is a major event involving a student's paralysis, affecting that student and her family for the rest of their lives. Even if the compensation is paid, it will still be a huge stain on her reputation.

Unless you stop being a celebrity, you'll have to endure this kind of public criticism.

After the paralysis incident was exposed, even more people criticized Liu Jicun.

Clearly, this is a rival attacking Fengxing Media's artists by taking advantage of the fight.

Wang Churan has only just debuted, so attacking her is pointless.

Liu Jicun is different. She is a "Feng Girl" (a term referring to actresses who have worked with Feng), a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress winner, and one of the representative figures of the new generation of artists from Fengxing Media.

Attacking her would be the most profitable.
