Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu

Although Yang Mi gave it her all in "Brotherhood of Blades", and was exceptionally energetic thanks to Jiang Yang's company, she even managed to avoid filming other projects simultaneously for the first time ever.

Both on and off screen, they were thoroughly humiliated.

However, the performance was only so-so.

The capabilities are there for all to see.

Yang Mi isn't incapable of acting; it's just that her acting style has become highly formulaic, limiting her to staying within her comfort zone.

His natural performance in "Tiny Times" felt perfectly natural.

They can even play on self-deprecating jokes that connect the film and reality, like "You think you're Yang Mi?", which actually ruins the cinematic feel, but probably no one took it as a serious movie.

Yang Mi has audience appeal, a positive work attitude, and strong resilience. Including her controversial "black-and-red" personality, she is born to be a big star.

However, as an actor, his potential is already limited.

Of course, "Brotherhood of Blades" didn't give her much room to shine either; Zhou Miaotong didn't even have a highlight from beginning to end.

If I had to name a scene, it would be the last one.

Shen Lian and Zhou Miaotong had just experienced a fierce battle with Zhao Jingzhong at the Jiaofangsi. The former carried the latter out, and suddenly a heavy snow began to fall in the night.

Zhou Miaotong, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, took out a handkerchief and pressed it against Shen Lian's still bleeding wound, and the two huddled together in the snow.

This scene is a famous scene from the movie "Brotherhood of Blades".

The atmosphere was great, but you can't really look into it too closely. It was Shen Lian who was stabbed in the back before, and Zhou Miaotong didn't lose a single hair. So why did the injured person carry her?

Don't ask, it's beautiful.

There wasn't a single line in this scene; it was like a photoshoot, which Yang Mi really liked.

That's my forte!

Still photos can mask shortcomings in acting. Yang Mi is in her prime right now, and her still photos are still very impressive. I was very satisfied with the photos after they were taken; they're wallpaper-worthy.

Her last classic red-dress look was probably Tang Xuejian in "Chinese Paladin 3".

After this scene was filmed, Zhou Miaotong's character officially left the show.

Her fate was only revealed through dialogue afterward, and she never appeared on screen again.

So, Yang Mi can wrap up filming now.

Even without the director requesting that her scenes be filmed in a concentrated manner, Zhou Miaotong's scenes wouldn't have taken too long to film.

I'm a little reluctant to part with it.

Zhou Miaotong's storyline is basically only related to Shen Lian, and she has almost no scenes with other characters, so there is no real relationship between them.

On the night filming wrapped, the two reviewed their "homework" at the hotel.

What homework?

That was a special training program Jiang Yang organized for her to better portray the courtesan...

The original actress, Xia Jie, played Zhou Miaotong, and she showed no trace of worldliness. The courtesan was just a character setting. She was as dignified as the well-educated and reasonable young lady of an official family before her family was raided.

Of course, one could also argue that the high-end goods produced by the ancient Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) possessed this "respectable" quality.

Dust and grime?

Although men may like promiscuous women, that doesn't stop them from considering them vulgar.

Yang Mi's charm and allure were not actually used in "Brotherhood of Blades". Only the two of them knew about the "results of special training", but Jiang Yang used them quite a bit.

"Damn it, they finished filming so quickly."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep even more after I go back."

"I really want to tie you to my belt!"

Jiang Yang chuckled.

Whether it's due to her "attracting bad guys" physique, the effect of "growing feelings over time," or a combination of both, Yang Mi is now completely obsessed with him.

We urgently need a "Jiangyang Anti-Addiction System".

"If you don't want to leave, you can stay. Does the crew need another meal from you?"

"I believe the director will also be moved by you."

"If you tie me to your belt, you probably won't be able to walk, but if you tie yourself to my belt, I can still walk on flat ground."

Yang Mi had no doubt about this.

Jiang Yang was strong enough to toss himself up and down like a baby, and he never seemed to get tired.

Oh no, the more I think about it, the more tempted I get...

It's impossible for her not to leave; Yang Mi has signed contracts for several films, and they're all lined up waiting for her to film them.

If I don't go, who will pay the penalty for breaking the contract?

She meant that she wanted to take Jiang Yang with her.

"I have a fantasy drama coming up, produced by Huanrui, where I play the female lead. If you don't mind, I can get you a second male lead role."

"The male lead is no good. They made this movie just to promote their own people."

"Next time, I promise I'll give you a male lead."

Yang Mi is now affiliated with Huanrui as a studio, but she is semi-independent and has already started signing her own artists.

The show she was talking about is called "Swords of Legends".

I'm playing the second male lead for Li Yifeng?

While "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is certainly a good project, Jiang Yang is no longer the complete novice he was back in "Chu Han Legend," so there's no need for him to lower his standards like that.

Yang Mi was well aware that the reason she came up with this terrible idea was simply because she couldn't bear to part with Jiang Yang, this piece of Tang Monk's flesh.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yang had other plans.

"I'm not interested in the second male lead in 'Gu Jian Qi Tan,' but I'm open to having a second female lead."

"I have a junior colleague who is also an artist in my studio. She is perfect for this role; it's like a match made in heaven."

"If you take her with you, I'll consider it a favor I owe you."

The second female lead in "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is named Xiang Ling, and she is a little fox spirit.

Jiang Yang wanted to stuff Dilraba into his arms, of course.

Casting Dilraba Dilmurat as the second female lead to Yang Mi is truly a match made in heaven; it must be destiny, right?

Just then, Nizi was determined to work hard and improve herself.

He had everything arranged perfectly, and when Yang Mi looked up, her eyes held a hint of danger.

"Junior sister? She's not your girlfriend, is she?"

"If that's what you want to say, that's fine too."

Jiang Yang looked completely calm, which made Yang Mi laugh in exasperation.

"You sent your little girlfriend to me, does that mean you don't take her seriously, or you don't take me seriously?"

"No way, Honey, please don't tell me you're jealous."

Yang Mi snorted noncommittally.

"That's a big production for Huanrui. Do you think it's so easy to get the second female lead? My own company's newbie can only play minor roles."

"You can handle it, I believe in you."

"You don't think that just because you've slept with me for so many days, you can make decisions for me, do you?"

Jiang Yang smiled.

"You're being too polite, Honey."

"As the saying goes, 'A day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days as husband and wife is as deep as the sea.' We've been married for far more than a hundred days, haven't we?"

"I thought we still had feelings for each other."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him.

"Who has feelings for you?"

"Sister Honey, if you stood up first when you said that, it might be more convincing."

Jiang Yang squinted comfortably.

As expected of the most beautiful courtesan, she is proficient in playing various musical instruments and singing.

Yang Mi's rebellious streak has kicked in, and she's even more energetic now.

"No way!"

"Honey, are you trying to be cute by pretending to be tsundere?"

Yang Mi could actually sense that something was wrong with her.

However, she couldn't control her addictive behavior towards Jiang Yang, and could only be both sober and succumb to his influence.

It is said that the sense of smell is the least useful of the five senses, but once a scent is confirmed by smell, it is the most deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Jiangyang went too deep.

Perhaps today's situation was already predetermined on the day the two first met at the airport.

Yang Mi refused to acknowledge her physical attraction to Jiang Yang, attributing it to the fact that this man was strange!

Did you drug me?

"It's ice, I've put ice down."

Jiang Yang's tone was teasing, but Yang Mi didn't take it seriously.

To be honest, she didn't care.

Although Yang Mi is a workaholic, it doesn't mean she's some kind of ascetic who restrains her desires; she's clearly a hedonist.

Taking methamphetamine is illegal, but taking Jiang Yang's drugs is okay.

As long as you're comfortable.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

Jiang Yang immediately understood. Whether or not the matter could be accomplished, Sister Mi wanted to test his sincerity. On their last night before parting, they had to leave something unforgettable, right?

Sincerity is my greatest asset.

He grabbed Yang Mi's chin and lifted her fox-like face; from this angle, she looked surprisingly innocent. He commanded her in an unquestionable tone.

Open your mouth.
