This director lacks vision.

Chapter 63 No difference

Practice has proven that although Qiong Yao has many flaws, her aesthetic sense is beyond reproach.

Qin Lan's tears were indeed very touching.

Some resemble stars in the sky, while others resemble morning dew.

Jiang Yifeng showed no mercy and nearly smashed the glass door of the bathroom.

Qin Lan wiped away her tears and said coquettishly, "Director Jiang, you should be gentler with girls."

Jiang Yifeng finished dressing and calmly said, "That's not what you just said."

Qin Lan: "..."

Qin Lan rubbed her bottom and said coquettishly, "You've slapped it so hard it's swollen~ Go buy me some medicine to put on it~"

It's difficult for a person's personality to change overnight.

Qin Lan said she had given up on love, but after talking with Jiang Yifeng, she was still beaten into a submissive state by him.

She naturally acted coquettishly towards him, and her words were very intimate.

But Jiang Yifeng didn't respond at all.

"Let your assistant handle it, I'm going to the film set."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan immediately retorted, "With your attitude, it's hard to imagine how you can make two beautiful women follow you so devotedly!"

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "I especially like the song that my boss Zhang Chaoyang sings."

"What song is it?"

"Darling, that's not love."

After saying that, Jiang Yifeng walked away with a flourish.

Qin Lan was stunned for a moment before she understood what Jiang Yifeng meant.

His relationship with Nazha and Gao Yuanyuan was one of love, but his relationship with himself was not; it was just a mutual exchange of needs.

Qin Lan thought about it and felt that Jiang Yifeng's words made a lot of sense.

The two of them didn't really have any emotional foundation; they just felt comfortable. They were the ones who complicated things.

Qin Lan made a phone call to her assistant, got up and tidied herself up, and then went to the film set.

Jiang Yifeng and Hu Qian were discussing the extras and supporting roles.

After listening for a while, Qin Lan offered, "If we're short of supporting actors, I can find someone to play a cameo role."

Jiang Yifeng did not refuse Qin Lan's words.

He said, "That's great. I'm still missing a female con artist to sell fake phones at the train station."

"Another female con artist?"

"Hmm, this time it's a real female con artist."

"OK, let me ask."

Qin Lan sat down to the side, took out her phone, logged into QQ, and sent a message in the Teddy Sisters' QQ group.

There's a movie role available, a female con artist. She has screen time and lines. Is anyone interested in playing the part?

Qin Lan sent this message with Xiao Yuyu and Xiong Naijing in mind.

These two have fewer resources and less fame in the group of sisters, and they often play supporting roles.

Xiao Yuyu did indeed reply the fastest.

[What movie? Is it the one you starred in, Lost on Journey?]

That's right, it's the movie "Lost in Thailand".

Xiao Yuyu was about to reply when Yang Mi beat her to it.

I'm free, I'll act!

Seeing how enthusiastic Yang Mi was, Xiao Yuyu stopped talking.

Qin Lan was a little surprised, but Yang Mi was more popular than Xiao Yuyu, so it was even better that she was willing to play this small role.

Soon, Qin Lan received a private message from Yang Mi.

[Big sister, when are you joining the crew? I happen to be free these few days.]

【Come over on the 7th. If things go smoothly, we can finish filming in one day. I'll send you your character's script first.】

[I saw in your previous interviews that you played a female con artist, was it like me?]

No, the character you played was rather one-dimensional; he was a real conman.

The character I played was a bit more complex, and Director Jiang was quite considerate of me.

When Qin Lan told Yang Mi these things, she did so with a hint of boasting.

Yang Mi was also very sensible and took the initiative to flatter him.

[Big sister is really amazing, she has such a good eye for people. You'll have to take care of me after I join the crew.]

Of course, we're best friends, so we should take care of each other.

Thank you, sister! I won't lie to you anymore, actually I went there because of Director Jiang.

Could you please talk to him and ask me to get on an episode of "Da Shan Kan Da Shan"?

As you know, I've been having a really tough time lately. I had a falling out with my former employer, and then Tang Ren published some smear articles against me.

Yang Mi is currently a second-tier female celebrity, and she has been the subject of much controversy this year.

In order to renew her contract, Rong Xinda spent resources to promote her as one of the "Four Little Actresses". However, Yang Mi felt that she was not valued at Rong Xinda and had no future there, so she did not want to renew her contract and had a conflict with her former employer.

After the broadcast of Chinese Paladin 3, Yang Mi and Tang Ren became very close, and they even went on a team-building trip abroad together.

Yang Mi was simultaneously having a rumored relationship with Hu Ge and maintaining a close friendship with Liu Shishi.

As a result, the two sides fell out over a game endorsement.

Tsai Yinong is not someone to be trifled with; she directly published a smear article.

Recently, a popular post appeared on Baidu's Li Yi Bar: "I know a beautiful woman, but she has smelly feet."

The post directly targets Yang Mi.

The rumors about Da Mi Mi's smelly feet started around this time.

In the past, such smear articles would have been a minor matter, and Rong Xinda could have easily handled it.

But Yang Mi refused to renew her contract, so she lost her backing and could only be targeted by online attacks.

So she wanted to go on an episode of "Da Shan Kan Da Shan" to prove her innocence and, incidentally, boost her popularity.

Despite the sharp and incisive nature of the "Da Shan Kan Da Shan" program, it has also helped enhance the reputation of many people, not to mention Zhang Chaoyang and Han Sanpin, but just take Jia Jingwen.

After the latest episode of "Da Shan Kan Da Shan" aired, Alyssa Chia's reputation improved a lot.

This is similar to how many people have dubbed the future "Roast Conference" a "whitewashing conference."

After understanding Yang Mi's thoughts, Qin Lan said:
"Well, I can say a few words in your defense, but whether you get on the show depends on Director Jiang's decision; he's a very principled person."

Thank you so much for your help, big sister! Love you~

Yang Mi moved very quickly.

She arrived at the film set a day early on September 6th.

Jiang Yifeng was a little surprised when he saw Yang Mi.

He assumed that Qin Lan was looking for someone to play a cameo role, most likely her third sister, Li Xiaolu.

After all, the role of the female con artist selling mobile phones was played by Li Xiaolu in her previous life.

Unexpectedly, it was Yang Mi, the seventh sister.

Yang Mi's purpose was obvious. After joining the crew, she first gave Jiang Yifeng a gift, and then dressed very scantily and circled around Jiang Yifeng.

At this point, Yang Mi was no longer the naive and clueless girl she was in college.

After experiencing being slapped by the director, the darkness of the Dream of the Red Chamber production team, and being slandered by Cai Yinong, her ambition swelled infinitely.

It has a feeling of using any means necessary to achieve one's goals.

But Jiang Yifeng didn't respond at all.

He was very busy on set, and even if he needed something, he could contact Qin Lan; he didn't have time to deal with Yang Mi.

Jiang Yifeng's actions, on the contrary, made Qin Lan secretly pleased.

After all, happiness and joy are often relative.

On September 7th, filming officially began for "Lost in Thailand".

The production team didn't hold any press conference; they just had a simple ceremony before officially starting filming.

The first scene is Qin Lan's scene.

She played a con artist kneeling by the roadside, pretending that her daughter was sick and urgently needed money for treatment, in order to swindle money from passersby.

Seeing this, Niu Geng insisted on giving him the money, but Li Chenggong immediately saw through the scam and stopped him from giving it to him.

After some back and forth, Niu Geng still gave the money to the female swindler.

This scene wasn't difficult to film. Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang were both excellent actors, and Qin Lan joined the crew early and was well-prepared.

The filming was all finished by 4 p.m.

Qin Lan was preparing to continue filming that evening when she saw Jiang Yifeng walking over with a bouquet of flowers.

"Sister Lan, congratulations on wrapping up filming!"

Qin Lan: "???"

"Isn't there another part of the story?"

"That's it. We thought about the part where the female con artist turns out to be a good person, but we still felt it wasn't realistic, so we deleted it."

Qin Lan looked at Jiang Yifeng and asked, "Tell me the truth, did this female con artist character not have that later part in the beginning?"

You deliberately added it to my script so that I would take the role.

Qin Lan saw through Jiang Yifeng's little trick.

To get Qin Lan to accept the role, he deliberately fleshed out the character of the female con artist according to the script from his previous life.

In fact, Jiang Yifeng never intended to help the female swindler clear her name.

"You're overthinking it. Scripts are subject to revision; it's all for the sake of creating a better film."

Seeing Jiang Yifeng's response, Qin Lan had no choice but to leave it at that.

Having a thick skin and being good at planning are both essential skills for being a director.

It's common for directors to invite people to make cameo appearances, only to cut all their scenes in the end.

Seeing Qin Lan's speechless expression, Yang Mi felt secretly pleased. She deliberately leaned closer and said, "Big sister, the conman you played doesn't seem much different from me."

Qin Lan: "..."
