This director lacks vision.

Chapter 419 Mengzha Group VS Liu Sanjie (Water Level 20)
2014年8月19号上午9点，锋行体育馆4楼，刘悎存走进了左侧的2号训练馆，就看到宋组儿在里面练武。

Sweat had soaked through his practice clothes, and a few strands of his hair, which had been tied up, had fallen down and stuck to his forehead.

Her face was flushed, and her lips were slightly parted, making her look even prettier than usual.

This is the healthy beauty that comes from exercise.

Liu Qicun said, "You're here so early? I thought you were going to rest at home for a couple more days."

Pacific Rim is a global hit, with its release date extended not only in China but also abroad.

The promotional period for the film was also extended accordingly.

Song Zuer has been promoting the film with the crew during this period, and only returned to Yanjing the night before last.

She rested at home for a day and came to training today.

Since the completion of Fengxing Technology Park, Fengxing Gymnasium has become one of the places where the company's artists practice.

The fourth and fifth floors are not open to the public, ensuring privacy while providing access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, as well as dedicated service personnel.

Hearing Liu Jicun's words, Song Zuer shook her head and said, "I'm just lazing around at home, so I'll come over and practice a bit."

I've been busy with work lately and haven't practiced for a while, so I'm feeling a bit uneasy.

Liu Jicun understood Song Zuer's thoughts. While stretching, she said, "The Witch's global box office has reached nearly 4 million US dollars, and the agency predicts it should reach 8 million."

Tian Qianwei is really taking off now! You're unlucky, mainly because of your age; otherwise, you should definitely be the one to play the witch!

Song Zuer just debuted earlier; her actual age is younger than Tian Qianwei and three days younger than Liu Jicun.

As Song Zuer's good friend, Liu Qicun understood her feelings.

The more successful the movie "The Witch" became, the more glamorous Tian Qianwei became, and the more distressed Song Zuer felt.

After all, the battle between Song Tian and the witch was really very close, by the narrowest of margins.

So after returning to Yanjing, Song Zuer started practicing martial arts without much rest.

This is because he/she was provoked.

Liu Qicun used age as an excuse to comfort Song Zuer, saying that Song Zuer's loss in the witch battle was not due to a lack of skill, but rather because Xiaotian had the advantage of being younger.

Unexpectedly, Song Zuer shook her head and said, "I went to the cinema to watch The Witch. After watching it, I understood why my brother-in-law chose Xiaotian to play the female lead."

My martial arts moves are indeed more standard than Tian Qianwei's, and I believe my acting skills are also better than hers.

However, her crazy and emotional fighting style is truly unique.

Although I could learn from her, I might not be able to achieve the same results.

Moreover, in terms of appearance, I have a small head and face, which is a disadvantage on the big screen.

Tian Qianwei has larger features, more blank space on her face, and she suits me better than I do.

Liu Jicun was stunned when he heard Song Zuer's analysis.

She couldn't help but complain, "What's wrong with you lately? You've become so peaceful, and so has Sister Meng."

I even wanted to team up with her to deal with Oda, but she refused.

Before Tian Qianwei, the most popular young actress at Fengxing Media was Liu Qiancun.

After all, the Cannes Best Actress award still carries some weight and has potential for hype, plus the movie "Youth" has been a hit for a long time.

Liu Yicun is ahead in both star power and popularity.

Despite being banned for a year, Liu Xicun's popularity has soared again this year due to the story of Zhang Yimou's scheming against Zhang Wangcun.

Zhang Yimou's actions were intended to elevate Liu Yicun's status.

As for the young actresses in girl groups, they are currently on a different path, so there's no comparison.

Therefore, after Tian Qianwei took off, she actually threatened Liu Jicun's position first.

Liu Jicun knew that Meng Ziyi and Tian Qianwei had broken up, so he thought of forming an alliance with Meng Ziyi to deal with Tian Qianwei together.

However, after being enlightened by Gao Yuanyuan, Meng Ziyi is now focused on joining the harem group, and her rival is Li Yunxiao.

Meng Ziyi is not concerned about the resources and career of any young actress for the time being.

Therefore, Liu Jicun made several invitations, but Meng Ziyi refused each time.

Now that Song Zuer has returned to Yanjing, Liu Jicun originally wanted to discuss countermeasures with her.

As a result, Song Zuer's attitude changed, which made Liu Jicun a little depressed.

Hearing Liu Jicun's complaints, Song Zuer laughed and said, "My career isn't bad either. Although I'm not a leading lady, I've acted in quite a few dramas in the past two years."

He appeared in movies such as Lost in the Big Bang and Pacific Rim, both of which were important roles with significant screen time.

If we're talking about box office numbers for the second female lead, I could beat Oda Koda to a pulp!
So I don't need to get angry; I just need to focus on improving myself.

Moreover, my brother-in-law is energetic, has many ideas, and films a lot of movies every year.

If I can star in one or two of them, I can surpass Tian Qianwei.

Why bother with all that effort to target them and do something pointless?
The more you do this, the more smug Tian Qianwei becomes.

Look at the messages she posted in the group a few days ago. We ignored her, and she felt bored too.

I won't be posting for the next few days.

Song Zuer, Liu Qicun, Tian Qianwei, and Wang Churan have a small group chat.

The four girls often bicker in the group chat.

With the movie "The Witch" currently showing off, Tian Qianwei is naturally very smug and keeps sending messages in the group chat to brag about it.

But no one responded to her.

Even Wang Churan, who had a good relationship with Tian Qianwei, only offered a few words of praise before giving little reply.

After all, seeing Xiaotian so smug and successful, Wang Churan would also feel envious and jealous.

Seeing that no one responded, Tian Qianwei felt it was pointless and gradually stopped posting.

After listening to Song Zuer's analysis, Liu Jicun seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, she nodded and said, "Sister Changchang is indeed amazing. Her analysis is very thorough."

"Now that Tian Qianwei is enjoying such success, I should avoid the limelight and focus on developing my skills discreetly."

Song Zuer: "???"

Seeing Song Zuer's puzzled expression, Liu Qicun asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"I was the one who did the analysis for you, what do you mean my cousin is amazing?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Liu Jicun pouted and shook his head, his little expression quite amusing. "How could someone with your IQ think of so many things?"

It must be because Tian Qianwei is doing so well that you're upset. Sister Changchang comforted you and gave you analysis and guidance.

"What you just said was from Sister Changchang, so of course she's more capable."

Song Zuer: "..."

Liu Jicun was right; everything Song Zuer just said was actually Shu Chang's doing.

Song Zuer isn't a saint. Now that the witch has become so popular, she must be feeling both sour and jealous.

What I just said was just an attempt to impress Liu Jicun, but I didn't expect to be exposed.

Just as Song Zuer was about to speak, she saw Jiang Yifeng leading several veteran actors into the training hall.

"Weren't you guys on holiday? Why are you training today?" Jiang Yifeng was a little surprised to see Song Zuer and Liu Jicun. He smiled and said, "Training should be balanced with rest. Don't get injured."

Liu Jicun and Song Zuer said in unison, "It's okay, we just love training!"

The two beautiful girls were overjoyed to see Jiang Yifeng appear.

They felt as if they had been caught secretly working overtime and were rewarded by their boss. Zhang Fengyi, standing nearby, exclaimed, "President Jiang, your company is really cultivating promising talents!"

There aren't many actors these days who train this hard; many newcomers are... well, never mind.

Wu Gang also said, "That's right, Liu Yicun is such a good actor that even director Zhang Yimou was envious."

I also read President Jiang's blog post from last year, "Give Competition Some Space," and it resonated with me.

Actors still need to be professional.

The more these two praised them, the more precious it seemed that Liu Jicun and Song Zuer were working overtime to train.

The two women lowered their heads together.

But Jiang Yifeng could still see the corners of their mouths turned up; they were clearly overjoyed.

"Then I won't disturb your training anymore, keep it up."

After Jiang Yifeng finished speaking, he led everyone away from the training hall.

He's here at the stadium today to film some sports scenes.

In the name of the people, the drama presents a relatively realistic picture of the officialdom.

The new leader, Sha Ruijin, likes to play basketball, so the tennis court was instantly transformed into a basketball court.

Jiang Yifeng also included several scenes in the script, including playing basketball and table tennis.

We're at the stadium today to film all these scenes together.

Chen Sicheng then took Xu Yajun and the others to the golf course to film scenes of playing golf.

Filming "In the Name of the People" was the easiest project for Jiang Yifeng.

On the one hand, this film is not difficult and does not require very advanced filming techniques; on the other hand, the cast and crew are all professionals and are well prepared.

In addition, Fengxing Media's team is getting stronger and stronger, and everything is arranged very well.

Jiang Yifeng only needs to grasp the general direction.

By 4:30 p.m., all of today's scenes had been filmed.

As the crew gradually left, Jiang Yifeng stayed behind at the basketball court.

A short while later, four beautiful women wearing basketball uniforms came out.

Naza and Meng Ziyi standing together resemble twin flowers blooming side by side, while Liu Yifei and Yang Caiyu standing together are like a low-budget version of MN flowers.

Jiang Yifeng was overwhelmed by the sight of four pairs of white, fleshy legs.

Especially Naza and Liu Yifei, they were already beautiful, and they took beauty potions, so they looked really good in basketball uniforms. They were beautiful and cool, full of energy, and were like enhanced versions of Haruko Akagi.

Yesterday in the harem group chat, Jiang Yifeng talked about the scene where they were going to film a ball-playing scene today.

Nazar boasted that he was an excellent player.

She has been playing basketball and badminton with Jiang Yifeng these past few days, and her skills have indeed improved.

Liu Yifei is sometimes lazy, but at other times she is very competitive.

She saw that guy bragging about playing basketball in the group chat and felt unconvinced, so the two girls challenged each other to a match.

They had originally agreed to a one-on-one duel, but Jiang Yifeng said that one-on-one duels were too monotonous, so they each found a helper.

After Meng Ziyi "admitted her mistakes and corrected them," her relationship with Nazar has become even closer.

The two of them together are twice as powerful, so Naza sought her out for a partnership.

Liu Yifei ultimately chose her closest friend, Yang Caiyu.

Today, the two sides will play a basketball game here. The loser will not only have to accept a punishment, but will also have to call the other side "big sister" for the next month.

Elsewhere, women may not like being called "big sister".

However, in Jiang Yifeng's harem group, "Big Sister" represents the status of the empress, and calling someone "Big Sister" for a month means being a concubine for a month.

So today's match was still very intense.

As the referee of the match, Jiang Yifeng first carefully checked the four women's outfits to make sure that their clothes were in order, that their waistbands were not too tight, and that their sneakers were on.

Just as he was about to blow the whistle and shout "start!", Song Zuer and Liu Jicun burst in.

Song Zuer looked at Liu Yifei and asked ingratiatingly, "Sister Qianqian, can Chacun and I participate in the competition?"

Liu Yifei glanced at Nazha.

Naza laughed and said, "I have no objection. Adding more people would be great, making it 3v3!"

After saying this, Naza looked at Liu Jicun and Song Zuer again and said with a smile, "They are both short, so they can play point guard."

Song Zuer and Liu Qicun: "???"

Song Zuer and Liu Jicun were about the same height, both being short, less than 6 meters.

The two got along better and better, partly because of this; it was an alliance formed by the petite girl.

Seeing the puzzled looks on Song and Liu's faces, Yang Caiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Because of her collaboration with Liu Yifei, Yang Caiyu gained access to a lot of resources.

In March of this year, Yang Caiyu starred in the hit drama "My Sunshine," which helped her maintain the popularity she had accumulated in the first generation of idol groups.

Currently, among the seven girls in the first generation of Produce 101, she is at a mid-level, similar to Li Yitong.

After Yang Caiyu laughed, Nazha and Liu Yifei also laughed.

When teased by senior artists in the company, Song Zuer and Liu Jicun didn't dare to say anything and had to laugh along.

Objectively speaking, the company's young woman is not yet qualified enough, and it will take time for her to seize power.

What's more, they insisted on coming to participate in the basketball game.

By the time Liu Jicun and Song Zuer returned after changing into their basketball uniforms, the team assignments had already been decided.

Jiang Yifeng looked the two women over and nodded.

Although they are not tall, they have great body proportions and their legs are straight and white.

Naza said, "Zu'er, you're in our group. We're called Mengza Group, and Mengmengza Qianqian and the others are too!"

Upon hearing this, Song Zu'er obediently walked over.

Liu Yicun approached Liu Yifei and asked in a high-pitched voice, "Sister Qianqian, what's our group's name?"

Because of Song Zuer's influence, Liu Yicun initially sang in the same camp as Liu Yifei and had a very good relationship with her.

Following Jiang Yifeng's example, Liu Yifei first patted Liu Yicun's little head and replied, "Our group is called Third Sister Liu, so that Nazha and the others know who the older sister is!"

"Huh? Why is she called Sister Liu the Third?" Liu Qiancun said teasingly, "In my heart, there is only Sister Liu the First. Sister Qianqian, you are the eldest sister."

These words made Liu Yifei extremely happy, and she grinned from ear to ear.

Yang Caiyu explained, "Because there are three people with the surname Liu in our group, we are called Sister Liu the Third."

Liu Jicun paused for a moment, then asked, "How come there are three people with the surname Liu in our group? Aren't you surnamed Yang?"

Yang Caiyu looked at Jiang Yifeng and said in a serious tone, "I can have the surname Liu!"

Liu Jicun was even more confused.

She didn't understand Yang Caiyu's role, so naturally she couldn't figure out the answer.

Jiang Yifeng coughed and said, "Stop chatting, get ready for the match!"

With Jiang Yifeng blowing the whistle, the match between Mengzha Group and Liu Sanjie officially began.
