I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

This makes one wonder why Yang Mi's acting skills have been questioned so much?

With her outstanding appearance and tireless efforts, Yang Mi has successfully created many memorable characters.

However, in terms of acting skills, she always seems to lack a certain subtlety and depth.

Some viewers pointed out that Yang Mi often relies too much on external acting skills when interpreting roles, while ignoring the emotional changes in the characters' inner world.

This made her performance seem too superficial and difficult to resonate with the audience.

Yang Mi's works throughout her acting career have been relatively limited in terms of genre.

She mainly works in youth idol dramas and period dramas, which tend to focus more on the actors' appearance and image rather than the depth of their acting skills.

This also made Yang Mi's shortcomings in acting skills even more apparent.

As a popular celebrity, Yang Mi's appearance and figure are undoubtedly the focus of attention.

First of all, when it comes to her appearance, she can be described as a natural beauty.

Her features are delicate and three-dimensional, and her brows reveal a lively spirit.

Those eyes, as bright as stars, always seem to instantly capture people's attention.

Her high nose bridge added a three-dimensional feel to her face.

Her full lips added to her sexiness and charm.

Besides her delicate features, Yang Mi's skin is also smooth and delicate, as if it could be broken with a touch.

Her fair complexion gave her a fresh and refined look.

Whether it's light or heavy makeup, she can pull it off effortlessly, showcasing different charms.

Yang Mi's figure is absolutely perfect.

She is tall with long limbs and a well-proportioned figure.

Her waist was so slender that it seemed one could grasp it with a gentle touch.

Her full breasts and hips added to her feminine charm.

Whether she's wearing casual clothes or a formal dress, she always manages to exude her unique charm.

It is precisely because of these strengths that Yang Mi has been able to maintain her popularity even though her acting skills are not particularly refined. Of course, her high emotional intelligence is also one of the reasons for her explosive popularity.

Yang Mi has also done a great job in seizing acting opportunities. Looking at her development from another perspective, you can see that she is very good at seizing any opportunity.

There's also audience appeal. In the past, because the internet wasn't as developed, actors didn't value audience appeal as much.

However, with the internet so developed now, audience appeal is the foundation for an actor's popularity.

To be honest, as long as an actor has a huge fan base, they will never have to worry about not having roles to play.

It's important to understand that only actors with good audience appeal can attract people willing to act as their advocates, helping them promote themselves and generate various data points online.

Cheng Sheng didn't stay with Yang Mi for long. He had someone print out a copy of the script for her, signed the contract, and then parted ways with Yang Mi.

As Yang Mi walked out of the company, she felt slightly disappointed. She had originally wanted to take the opportunity to chat a little longer and see if their relationship could progress further.

But it's clear that the other party isn't that interested in me.

Before coming to Kyoto, knowing that she might have a chance to meet Cheng Sheng at Shengli Film Company, Yang Mi specially changed into a dress with a low neckline.

Unexpectedly, she actually met Cheng Sheng.

When she bowed, although she was grateful to the other person, there was also a hint of ambiguity in her heart.

She was also secretly observing Cheng Sheng's reaction. Although Cheng Sheng only glanced at her before looking away, she still caught his rapid breathing. It turned out she still had some charm.

I just don't know why Cheng Sheng is so indifferent to her.

Was it because I wasn't bold enough?

With this in mind, Yang Mi secretly made up her mind that she would be even bolder during the filming of "Zheng He's Voyages to the West".

As Yang Mi left the company, she took out her phone and sent a text message to her agent and friend, Zeng Jia.

On the way to Kyoto, Yang Mi had told Zeng Jia about this, and Zeng Jia was very supportive of Yang Mi taking on the role of Princess Xianning.

[Jia-jie, I did it!]

[Congratulations, Mimi! I knew you could do it. By the way, how did your talk with Director Cheng go?]

We didn't have enough time to meet this time; let's find another opportunity next time!

[Keep going, I believe in you. There's no such thing as a cat that doesn't steal fish, and men are the same. Try your best to win Cheng Sheng over.]

Don't worry, I just tested the waters, and I feel that Cheng Sheng still likes my type.

[Great! As long as Cheng Sheng falls for you, you'll win him over sooner or later. After we start our own company, with Cheng Sheng as our powerful backer, we won't have to worry about resources.]

Although Yang Mi has not completely broken away from Rong Xinda, she has already discussed with Zeng Jia that she plans to leave Rong Xinda in the second half of the year and then start a film and television media company.

The two of them also decided on the name of the company: Jiaxing Media Co., Ltd.

Furthermore, Yang Mi will become the company's third-largest shareholder.

[Jia-jie, post the news of my role in "Zheng He's Voyages" on Weibo right now, let's ride the wave of traffic.]

Okay, I'll share this good news with your fans right away.

After finishing her chat with Zeng Jia, Yang Mi was about to put her phone away when a message popped up on her chat app.

Yang Mi opened the message and saw that it was sent by director Li Shaohong.

[Mimi, how did the audition go?]

[Teacher, I've passed the test and landed the role of Princess Xianning.]

Congratulations, Mimi! The company will throw you a celebration when you come back.

Teacher, you don't need to make such a fuss! I'm just making a cameo appearance, not the main character.

[Director Cheng Sheng's new film is coveted even by top-tier artists in the industry. If the outside world knew that he got a role without paying any price, they would probably be extremely envious.]

Li Shaohong is right about this. Many A-list artists want to get roles in Cheng Sheng's movies, even supporting roles. After all, appearing in a Cheng Sheng movie will basically raise their status, and if the role is likable, it can even become a hit.

For example, Wang Zhi, who only served as a body double for Jing Tian in "Three Kingdoms" and filmed a video of herself riding a horse, became an instant sensation.

Moreover, all of Cheng Sheng's films are released globally. As long as they gain international recognition, the actors will naturally become international stars, go abroad, and develop their careers in Hollywood.

……

The news that Yang Mi would star in Cheng Sheng's new movie quickly became a trending topic on social media that day, thanks to Zeng Jia's hype.

Some celebrities who wanted to participate in "Zheng He's Voyages to the West" were genuinely envious and jealous when they found out.

They approached many people hoping to participate in Cheng Sheng's "Zheng He's Voyages to the West," but were basically rejected by all of them.

"What makes her so special?"

Fan Shuangbing's eyes were bloodshot. She swept the expensive cosmetics off the dressing table and shouted angrily. (End of Chapter)
