Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

With the help of traffic promotion and hot searches, the number of fans of Yu Jiang's One-Eye steadily increased in the next two days.

Most of the people who came this time were fans of Yu Jiang’s characters. In the end, the number of fans remained close to 20 million.

Li Hanmo had worked with Yu Jiang a long time ago. He directed "He Qi Qi" and he was very clear about Yu Jiang's situation.

Knowing that Gong Jianan would be busy during this period and Yu Jiang himself did not drive, he sent a crew member to pick her up for training on Monday morning.

In addition to the indoor training ground and a large grassland, the suburban training hall also has several dormitory buildings for trainees to rest.

The reason I accepted the script for this not-so-complicated character was not only because I wanted to help Director Li, but also because of the overall background of the script.

She had never tried ancient costume dramas that were more like fairy tales, and there were a lot of fighting scenes. Yu Jiang, who had only been exposed to modern fighting scenes, was mainly interested in this.

This is also the purpose of the training camp. Although the authenticity requirements for ancient costume fighting scenes are not as high as those with modern backgrounds, it is more difficult to fight beautifully than for real fighting.

When Yu Jiang arrived, the male lead Tang Zixu was already there. The two had previously worked together in "Angel Loves You", and he played the villain, a doctor.

The training period was expected to last more than seven days. Yu Jiang brought a suitcase with him. Tang Zixu, who was strolling near the grassland, saw Yu Jiang and ran over.

"Teacher Yu, let me help you carry your luggage. We haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Thank you. We were at the Lorgar Film Festival two years ago."

Yu Jiang still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she saw him now, because she hadn't fully digested the emotions of the role she had played before.

Tang Zixu suddenly looked very excited, "Yes, you still remember! At that time, your acting skills were recognized by almost all the judges, and you brought honor to the country."

The L'Occitane Film Festival is one of the four major film festivals in Europe, and there is a certain degree of xenophobia towards Asians.

There have been only four Best Actress awards in these years, including those given to Chinese people and ethnic Chinese. Yu Jiang from "Angel Loves Me" won one of them, which can be said to be a glory for Chinese people.

Although he had collaborated with Tang Zixu on a movie and they had been working together for five months, Yu Jiang also gave him a lot of guidance when they were acting together.

The doctor he plays in the movie is a crazy Frankenstein who is determined to use the heroine to verify his drug theory. He is a smiling tiger at the beginning, but as the plot progresses, his true face is revealed in the later stage.

The most taboo when playing a villain is to get too familiar with the co-star in the crew, especially in movies, where the length is limited and his evilness is often only one or two shots away.

This kind of role is usually very different from the actor's own personality, so during the crew period, it is very likely to be out of character if you are not careful.

As an actor who plays a villain, you have to find ways to maintain your own state after joining the crew, and not having private contact with the co-star is an effective way.

Tang Zixu entered the industry later than Yu Jiang. The first time he acted after graduating from the academy was with her. In addition, he received a lot of guidance from her, so he has always respected her.

Just as he was about to help Yu Jiang carry the things in, a huge and extravagant nanny car came behind him.

The two looked at each other. There was no need to discuss this, as there was only one person in the group who was not from the film industry.

Sure enough, their analysis was correct. The person who got out of the car was indeed Ran Feng, accompanied by three assistants.

When Ran Feng got off the car, he saw that the expressions of his two actors in the same group were a bit embarrassed. At first he didn't know what was going on until he noticed the small box in Tang Zixu's hand.

He turned around and saw two assistants moving his huge suitcase, and smiled embarrassedly.

"You guys should go back first. The main character didn't bring an assistant, so there's no need for me, a supporting character, to do the same."

It doesn't matter if there is no personal assistant. At most, Ran Feng can do everything himself these days. He also worked his way up from a trainee, so he is not without the ability to take care of himself.

But he cannot do without his work assistant and personal assistant. Now is not the time to join the team, and he still has a lot of work to do during the initial training.

If there is no work assistant, there will be no one to act as a middleman to communicate with Party A on the brand stage during these days.

Ran Feng's personal assistant's job is generally to help him deal with private fans, paparazzi and bad media. For a top star like him, it would be difficult to do without a personal assistant.

Lin Xiaohan, the ponytailed assistant, leaned a little closer to him, opened her lips slightly and whispered, "Boss, you are different from them. It is your duty to have an assistant."

"It's different from them. I'm a newcomer. In other people's professional fields, I have to abide by their rules, even if they are unwritten rules."

Ran Feng’s positioning of himself was correct, but it was not a rule in the film industry not to bring an assistant. It just happened that the two leading actors were relatively poor.

Yu Jiang is a pure experientialist, and although Tang Zixu is a professional, he is more inclined to the experientialist approach.

The advantage of the experiential school is that the works produced are more convincing, but the disadvantage is that as an actor, you need to give yourself enough time to build up a sense of conviction.

This makes it difficult for them to accept interviews, be a guest star, or even double-star on other projects during their time in the group, like method or expressionist artists do.

They cannot take other jobs, and it takes a certain amount of time to finish a play, so all the remuneration of Yu Jiang and Tang Zixu comes from film pay.

Tang Zixu signed a contract with a company right after graduation because he had no resources. Although the company was conscientious and did not force him to play roles he didn't like to make money, he still had to split his salary with the company in a 40% to 60% split.

Although Yu Jiang only shares the profits with Gong Jianan, she shoots more art films, and her pay cannot be compared with commercial films, but she also gets the highest pay among art films.

Gong Jianan knew that she didn't like the existence of an assistant, so although hiring an assistant was not a burden, it was something that had a low utilization rate and would affect Yu Jiang's mood, so there was naturally no need to do it.

Personal assistant Luo Zihao looked at Lin Xiaohan with some embarrassment. Lin Xiaohan continued to whisper, "How about this, Boss? We can talk over the phone about work matters. You only take Luo Ge as your assistant. Is that okay with you?"

Ran Feng's original intention was to keep a low profile as much as possible, and he would do what other actors in the same group did.

But he also knew the faces of his illegitimate fans and the influence of the paparazzi on the film crew, so he could only keep silent to show his agreement.

Just as he was about to take Luo Zihao to say hello to the leading actor, he saw the suitcase in Tang Zixu's hand and remembered that the problem of his own suitcase had not been solved yet.

"Sister Xiaohan, look at my luggage, isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

Lin Xiaohan made an "OK" gesture to Ran Feng, left him only a backpack, and left with her luggage and her personal assistant.
