This director lacks vision.

Chapter 95 Jing Tian: I will never film a web series.
On the morning of January 23, Jiang Yifeng woke up in a large bed.

The bathroom was filled with the chatter of three women, sometimes screaming and sometimes laughing.

Sometimes, listening to sounds without looking at the visuals can be a unique and enjoyable experience.

While Avatar has its own unique appeal, the makeup process is quite troublesome.

After gaining superhuman strength, Jiang Yifeng barely managed to maintain a 0-0 record in mahjong last night.

When he was having a bad run of luck, he got so angry that he overturned the card table and carried it on his back.

The three girls were both shocked and frightened, and they cried and made a scene.

The fight went on so late that the three women fell asleep without removing their makeup.

They quickly disarmed themselves as soon as they woke up this morning.

Jiang Yifeng didn't disturb them. Instead, he went to the bathroom in the second bedroom to wash up, took a walk around the apartment complex, and then came back to have breakfast.

The three women had already removed their makeup and taken a shower. Gao Yuanyuan served Jiang Yifeng a bowl of porridge and then asked, "You talked about web dramas again during your live stream last night. When will the theme be decided?"

Jiang Yifeng glanced at Gao Yuanyuan.

At this moment, she was without makeup, her face was fair and clean, and her big eyes were bright and beautiful.

"What kind of genre do you want to act in? I can film idol dramas, crime dramas, revenge dramas, fantasy dramas, and post-apocalyptic zombie dramas."

"Are you going to play the male lead? If you're willing, I'd like to act in an idol drama with you."

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "I won't act."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan was a little disappointed. She thought for a moment and said, "I have the lowest IQ in my family. My brother always makes fun of me for trading my intelligence for my looks."

I've always admired intelligent people since I was little, and I've always wanted to play a highly intelligent female lead, but unfortunately, I've never had the chance.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yifeng said, "Then let's make a revenge drama. You are a female lead who suffered all kinds of humiliation when you were a child, bullied by a group of rich second-generation kids, and no one can help you."

You grew up, learned to play Go, and used Go strategy to meticulously weave a web of revenge, employing your high intelligence to launch a vengeful operation.

The story outline Jiang Yifeng described follows the formula of the future hit Korean drama "Dark Glory".

Dark Glory is actually not complicated. The reason why this show is successful is mainly due to two factors.

The first point is that the emotional engagement is very well done.

The script initially portrays the female lead as oppressed, and her tragic experiences leave the audience feeling frustrated, arousing their sympathy and desire for revenge. This leads to the character seeking to vent their frustration through revenge.

This kind of formula will be frequently used in the future online literature world.

Moreover, Dark Glory also tapped into the public's resentment towards the wealthy, as the villains in the drama are all rich tycoons. This is an old trope in Korean dramas, and although it may not be accurate, it works well.

People are enslaved by capitalists in real life, and dare not speak out against their anger. They can only vent their frustration by enjoying themselves in movies and TV dramas.

Secondly, the script. Although the female lead's revenge process has some far-fetched parts, the overall logic is smooth.

Using the wisdom and methods of Go, he proceeded step by step, taking revenge on several powerful villains while remaining an ordinary person.

Jiang Yifeng couldn't remember the specific plot of Dark Glory, but he had a story outline. If he could grasp the emotions and tropes, finding a screenwriter to write a new script wouldn't be a problem.

However, the story background needs to be changed.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to switch to the Titanium Kingdom.

Fortunately, the religious forces in the country are very strong, and there are also various warlords and tycoons who dominate the region, giving them a lot of room to maneuver.

Filming a dark and glorious movie to showcase the chaos and crime in Southeast Asia also serves as a reminder to the public to be careful when traveling abroad.

Don't be fooled by Gao Xiaosong's claims. He truly believes that the people of the United States are very nice and peaceful, enjoying a leisurely and carefree life.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's idea, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. She ran back to her room in her slippers, took out a pair of glasses, put them on, struck a pose, and asked, "How about it? Don't I look smart?"

Naza directly retorted, "Maybe you've been playing around too much, but when you wear glasses, I always feel like you're trying to seduce older men."

Qin Lan also said, "Indeed, you can't tell she's smart, but she's quite the repressed flirt."

Gao Yuanyuan: "..."

In fact, Gao Yuanyuan has the air of an intellectual beauty.

With glasses and appropriate makeup, she could indeed play a high-IQ female lead, or even a femme fatale.

Gao Yuanyuan's portrayal of Zhou Zhiruo after her transformation into a villain was quite good.

Jiang Yifeng took a sip of porridge and said with a smile, "Don't rush, let me have someone write the script first."

Acting skills are a matter for the entire production team, not something that can be developed by an actor alone.

Besides, it's just a web series; you don't need to feel too much pressure.

While the actors' acting skills are important, the cooperation of the production team is also crucial.

The final result of acting is the combined effort of the actors' performances, the script's logic, and the production team's refinement.

Zhang Ziyi is a film queen in some production teams, but when she tries to look young in TV dramas, it's jarring for viewers.

In The Grandmaster, Song Hye-kyo was like a block of wood, having lost the Korean acting style, which she couldn't pull off.

Gao Yuanyuan has been an actress for so many years. Her acting skills, if not top-notch, are at least professional, and she still has some potential.

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words of comfort, Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "I'm not under pressure, I'm just a little excited. I really want to play a female lead with a high IQ!"
Thank you, darling, for making my dream come true~

Overcome with emotion, Gao Yuanyuan hugged Jiang Yifeng and kissed him.

Naza then retorted, "I knew you looked seductive with those glasses on."

Qin Lan continued to play along: "That's right, this time it's not just being secretly flirtatious, it's being openly flirtatious."

Qin Lan never mentioned acting in this web series from beginning to end.

On the one hand, she didn't want to play a supporting role to Gao Yuanyuan, and on the other hand, web dramas at this time were indeed not up to par. Qin Lan herself didn't lack acting opportunities; she still had the movie "Hidden Marriage" and the female-centric TV series "The Legend of Lady General Fan Lihua" to film.

After breakfast, the three women went shopping together, arranged by Gao Yuanyuan.

Jiang Yifeng then went to the company, called Hu Qian into his office, and told her about the Dark Glory script.

Hu Qian suggested, "The company now has a team of screenwriters, why don't we let them give it a try?"

The scriptwriting team at Fengxing Media is primarily responsible for the text planning of programs such as "Dashan Kan Dashan" and the writing of urban comedy sketches.

As 2010 arrived, Jiang Yifeng fulfilled his promise and allowed Dapeng to independently direct and film the web series.

After thinking for a long time, Da Peng decided to return to the historical track and prepare to film "Diaosi Men".

His episodic dramas also require scripts from the company's screenwriters, so the screenwriting team is quite busy overall. Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "My script needs rigorous logic, to convey a high level of intelligence, and ideally, it should be subtly foreshadowed, with foreshadowing, echoing each other, and interconnected."

The company's scriptwriting team is good at comedy scripts, they can't write this.

You should hire Wang Juan to write the script; you can appropriately increase the price to speed things up.

"Li Hongchou has finished filming the first season of 'The Swindlers.' If he has time, he can come and participate."

As screenwriters, everyone has their own strengths.

Wang Juan excels at writing scripts with rigorous logic and numerous plot twists. His debut work, "The Real Estate Saleswoman," was quite good, and his later works, such as "The Legend of Mu Mansion," "The Legend of Dance and Music," and "The Young Swordsman of the Song Dynasty," are also logically sound.

It is quite appropriate to entrust him with writing the script for Dark Glory.

Hu Qian nodded, and just as she was about to speak, her assistant Li Xia knocked on the door and reminded her, "President Jiang, Jing Tian is here to see you."

Hearing this, Hu Qian smiled and said, "Then I'll go contact Wang Juan first."

A short while later, Jing Tian walked into the office.

Jiang Yifeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "You actually listened to my advice and cut your hair short."

If Jing Tian with long hair exudes sweetness, then with short hair she gains a touch of heroism, which, combined with her noble temperament, gives her a charmingly mischievous feel.

Jiang Yifeng suggested that Jing Tian keep her hair short because he had seen photos of her with short hair online before.

His looks and physique left a very deep impression on Jiang Yifeng.

Upon hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Jing Tian opened her mouth, but then fell silent.

Jiang Yifeng laughed and said, "What's wrong, Sister Tian? You always shout online that you're going to be a big sister, but in real life you're as timid as a little sweetheart."

The facts are just as Jiang Yifeng said.

Jing Tian and Jiang Yifeng had only met a few times in real life; they mostly chatted online.

"My Beautiful Boss" just finished filming two days ago. After returning to Yanjing, Jing Tian excitedly came to Jiang Yifeng's place today.

I had a lot to say, but I became reserved after we met.

Jing Tian took a deep breath, revealing her inner strength, and said, "It's too troublesome to keep long hair, especially since I have to wear a wig when filming."

I simply cut my hair short; it has nothing to do with your suggestion, so don't flatter yourself!

Once they started chatting, Jing Tian gradually relaxed and found the feeling of online chatting. She started teasing Jiang Yifeng with her little mouth.

"My respected Director Jiang, you're now a 3 million yuan box office director, about to top the list of highest-grossing directors in mainland China. How are you feeling right now?"

Jiang Yifeng smiled and joked, "My little achievements are all thanks to Sister Tian's care."

Wanda Cinemas' film scheduling and real-time data were a huge help to me.

Jing Tian did indeed help with the release of "Lost on Journey," and Wanda Cinemas has been very supportive of the show.

Jing Tian was very happy to hear Jiang Yifeng's compliment.

She tried hard to suppress the smile on her face and waved her hand casually.

"It's nothing. I told you to call me if you need anything, and I'll definitely help if I can."

Jiang Yifeng said with a smile, "Well, it's good that I'm not single."

"why would you say so?"

"If I were single and wanted you to help me satisfy my male needs, would you help me?"

Jing Tian: "..."

After being teased by Jiang Yifeng, Jing Tian's fair cheeks quickly flushed red.

The red cloud continues to spread, turning everything from delicate earlobes to pretty collarbones.

Jiang Yifeng hadn't expected Jing Tian's reaction to be so strong.

He used to chat with Jing Tian online, and the two often bantered back and forth.

It can only be said that there is still a big difference between reality and the internet.

Jiang Yifeng coughed, changing the subject, and asked, "What brings you here today?"

Jing Tian rolled her eyes at Jiang Yifeng before saying, "Uncle Lu is planning to invest in a movie called 'The Warring States,' which tells the story of Sun Bin. The total investment is tentatively set at 1.2 million."

Would you like to direct this movie?

Upon hearing the name Zhan Guo, Jiang Yifeng thought to himself that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.

In the past, Jiang Yifeng might have gloated.

However, after chatting online for a while, he and Jing Tian actually became good friends.

Jiang Yifeng would tease Jing Tian online from time to time, and Jing Tian never got angry.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yifeng said, "The domestic film market is indeed on the rise, but we should still be cautious about investing. The Warring States period is really not a good subject. If you don't act well, you might get criticized."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian misunderstood Jiang Yifeng's thoughts and said, "You don't still want me to film a web series, do you? There's no way I'll film a web series!"

Jiang Yifeng shook his head, about to say, "My web series already has a female lead, so even if you wanted to film it, I wouldn't choose you."

Unexpectedly, Jing Tian continued, "I can't film low-budget web dramas at this stage, but Uncle Lu agreed to my family's request to make me famous."

He'll definitely spend money on a big production to show his sincerity.

"If I were to film a web series now, I would be harming him."

Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng looked at Jing Tian with new respect.

This girl may seem carefree, but she's actually very knowledgeable and insightful.

Upon closer reflection, that makes perfect sense.

Since Lu Zheng has agreed to make Jing Tian famous, he should show his sincerity by offering real money.

Even if the final result is not right and Jing Tian doesn't become famous, I still spent real money, hundreds of millions of yuan wasted.

Jing Tian's family also owes her this favor.

This is truly a case of "You laugh at Lu Zheng for not knowing how to flatter people, but Lu Zheng laughs at you for not knowing how to behave."
