Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 371 Challenge

Most of Ning Xi's scenes are centered around Ran Feng, and now that he's finished filming, there aren't many parts for Yu Jiang left.

It didn't take long, so Ran Feng decided to stay for another day so that he could go back to Beijing with his girlfriend.

Arriving in Beijing, Ran Feng started to work hard again. There were six programs in six evening parties, and even if he chose the simplest one, he still had to rehearse it.

Yu Jiang felt much more relaxed after coming back. He only had two things to do: rest and read scripts.

The next filming location was in the studio. In this part, her scenes included a lot of lines and explosive emotional scenes, which were quite difficult.

The important scenes including the coup in Zhaowen Palace, the killing of the Qiang King in the court, and the confrontation between the sister and brother were all filmed in the studio.

Ning Ruifeng's arrangement is very reasonable. The current weather is not suitable for shooting outdoor scenes, but there is air conditioning and heating in the studio, so the actors will not be affected by these factors.

After a short rest of three days, we soon had to go to the shooting studio near the film and television training base in the neighboring city to start working.

The interior decoration of the studio here has been completed, and we chose to shoot here because the rent is cheap.

In recent years, the neighboring city has been trying to take advantage of Beijing's momentum to develop its film and television business, with the goal of becoming a northern film and television city.

Now is the early stage, everything is the cheapest. For a meticulous director like Ning Ruifeng, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

Gong Jiannan’s task was not easy. She wanted to talk to Yu Jiang about the subsequent character setting and development direction without affecting her mood.

Actors make a living by selling emotions, and they are also a group of people with fragile emotions. Gong Jianan has always been very careful in this regard.

The two had this conversation while eating hotpot at home. The tomato soup base made by Wang Dandan was not fattening and was both delicious and light, which was quite impressive.

Gong Jianan carefully brought up the topic, "Baby, what do you think your future will be like?"

Yu Jiang swallowed a big mouthful of greens and said, "Just continue to be an actor. Otherwise, what should I do? Retire from the industry?"

"Uh..." Gong Jianan couldn't get away with the idea of ​​quitting the entertainment industry. "I mean, between a traffic actor and a pure actor, which one would you choose?"

"Of course I'm a pure actor. I still just want to act, this has not changed." Yu Jiang's answer was very straightforward, and she knew very well what she wanted.

Gong Jianan put down his chopsticks and said, "Baby, no matter what your decision is, I will always support you. We are just having a discussion today, you don't have to think too much."

Yu Jiang knew that she had something to say, so he also put down his chopsticks and listened attentively.

"From the current development trend of domestic entertainment...so the path we have taken in the past is...in the long run, our advantages and disadvantages in the future..."

Gong Jianan talked about the present, past and future, and Yu Jiang understood it very well. It was nothing more than the same old stuff.

Domestic entertainment is no longer a place that relies solely on strength as before. The past methods have been proven to be ineffective. In the future, her advantage will be her acting skills, and her disadvantage may be her traffic.

It was something that could be summarized in one simple sentence, but Gong Jianan spent half a day talking about it and almost burned the hot pot dry.

"Nannan, I understand what you mean. It's just that it's not realistic to imagine things being like before. I completely trust you, just tell me what you think."

After listening for so long, Yu Jiang was tired. If her previous subordinates had done this, she would have called back and simplified the language again.

Gong Jianan took a big sip of water before continuing to speak about the content he had prepared in his mind.

"I just want to confirm your bottom line again, what are you willing to try and what are you totally unacceptable?"

Yu Jiang still felt that she was not direct enough. "In fact, you can tell us what we are facing now. I might be able to explain it more clearly if there are specific events."

"For example, now all kinds of variety shows are looking for you, and the business is also with top brands. Let's not talk about the script today, just these two items, what do you think?"

Gong Jianan finally got to the point. It took almost an hour from the beginning to the end, and finally they got down to business.

"I can't accept commercial endorsements at all. I can try variety shows, but I just don't think it's necessary."

For Yu Jiang, she thinks she is not very good at entertainment variety shows. Playing games in variety shows only makes her feel lowered in intelligence and very uncomfortable.

Experience-based reality shows are still okay. At least they can accumulate materials for filming, add depth to one's life, and allow one to be oneself in the show.

It’s just that the purpose of appearing on these shows at that time was to increase traffic. Now that there is no need for this, of course there is no need for it.

Yu Jiang added: "If it is a variety show based on the premise of promoting the work, I can still participate."

The two have known each other for many years, and Gong Jianan could probably guess this result, but this was not what she wanted.

It’s not that she wants to force Yu Jiang to follow her plan, but she hopes that one of them can convince the other. She wants to know why her plan cannot be carried out.

"Baby, I want to know, what do you think of your current traffic?"

Yu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "My current fans are just like my past audiences, except that they care a little more about my private life."

Gong Jianan shook his head. "Fan economy is a science. They can bring you much more than the audience..."

Next, she talked about things like making money. After leaving Jiang's family, Yu Jiang was not very interested in making money.

After she finished speaking, Yu Jiang said, "Nannan, do you want us to make money together, or do you want my career to reach a certain height?"

Gong Jianan said: "Of course I hope you will be successful in your career, but not just in acting, but to become a top actress."

"Top stream?" Yu Jiang repeated with a smile, without commenting.

Gong Jianan noticed: "So in your eyes, top stream is a positive word?"

Ran Feng is the top star. Yu Jiang certainly doesn't think this word has a negative meaning, but...

"In fact, there are many times when traffic is synonymous with lack of strength. At least this is the case with most of the traffic I have seen."

"Traffic and top traffic are two different words. Top traffic refers to the top traffic actors and artists. Do you think that those who can reach the top are not talented?"

Yu Jiang did not comment, and Gong Jianan continued, "Even if you take a step back, you are now a top female artist. You don't want to have this status, right?"

First of all, Yu Jiang doesn’t think her current work and life will be affected by this identity. Secondly, she doesn’t think she needs to change.

Gong Jianan probably knew what she was thinking when she was silent, "Traffic is either not advancing or retreating, and popularity must be grasped at all times. Not doing any work besides acting is equivalent to automatically quitting."

Yu Jiang still hadn't made up his mind, so Gong Jianan delivered the final blow.

“Isn’t it a challenging thing to change the public’s perception of traffic because of you?”
