Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

"If this is what the situation requires, it doesn't matter if I am willing to do it or not. If the change can get me what I want, then I am willing to do it."

Yu Jiang's answer made Gong Jianan feel a little sad.

In her eyes, Yu Jiang is a performing artist. Not only does she think so, but the judges who gave Yu Jiang awards should also think so.

Other art categories seem to be rarely linked to fame, wealth, power and money, but film performance is different, so this art form may not be as respected as other categories.

But in fact, whether they are dancers, painters, musicians, performers, or what some people call "actors".

It is very difficult to achieve the level of being recognized by the entire industry.

Yu Jiang is absolutely recognized in the film industry, but in the eyes of investors, she currently seems to lack some commercial value.

Although I feel that Yu Jiang's acting skills should not be forced to take this path, in order to achieve the goal, the discussion must continue.

"It might be a little difficult to meet with the investors tomorrow. If you can accept participating in variety shows, it might be a guarantee for your own traffic in the future..."

Before Gong Jianan finished, Yu Jiang interrupted her with a smile and said, "Okay, Nanan, I trust your judgment. You know what I want. As long as it's the same as before, I can accept everything else."

The so-called "same as before" means the same as when Yu Jiang just won the Best Actress Award at the Popular Film Festival. At that time, any role in the industry would definitely be sent to her for selection first.

Gong Jianan knew Yu Jiang's character very well. She didn't want to and was unwilling to let Yu Jiang spend too much time on such a thing.

"Okay baby, go back and have a good rest. Leave tomorrow's work to me."

Yu Jiang sat on the armrest of the sofa where Gong Jianan was and hugged her, "I love you, thank you for your hard work."

In the first half of the night, Gong Jianan's job was to analyze Kong Lingxi's information, and in the second half of the night he would work on a negotiation plan in conjunction with his own artists.

Li Hanmo arranged a meeting time for them at one o'clock in the afternoon, so Gong Jianan still had time to take a nap from dawn to noon.

That is, Gong Jianan had just fallen asleep, and it was time for Yu Jiang to get up for morning exercise.

As a movie actor, it is part of your job to maintain your visual effects on the screen.

Unfortunately, Yu Jiang doesn't have the magical physique that allows her to eat anything without gaining weight. She has a bad stomach and can't go on an excessive diet, so exercising is the only option left for her.

The morning is usually aerobic time, on the treadmill from six to nine o'clock, followed by a shower and breakfast.

Although the role of Mu Lingji may not be hers now, since she agreed to Director Li, it has become a habit for her to adapt to the role.

Yu Jiang has a unique habit of needing some time to build up her conviction before filming officially begins.

Due to Mu Lingji's personality, Yu Jiang's way of building up his sense of belief this time was to cast incense seals.

These activities are all carried out in the second bedroom, and her perfume utensils are also placed here. Fortunately, the place is not small, otherwise there would be too much space to add a set of new things for a movie.

After burning a stick of incense, Yu Jiang returned to the study to memorize the script. If the role of Mu Lingji was hers, she would be able to join the crew in less than a month.

It wasn't long before it was time to wake Gong Jianan up. This was the consequence of only considering the cheap housing price. If you didn't want to be late, you had to take the distance into account.

Fortunately, Gong Jianan is not the kind of person who stays in bed. He got up and cleaned up as soon as someone knocked on the door.

In order to save time, the two of them had lunch on the way. Yu Jiang heated up a bag of fat-reducing meal while Gong Jianan was putting on makeup.

Gong Jianan was being fed chicken breast by Yu Jiang while driving. "This thing is too disgusting, isn't it? I won't be on camera, is it necessary?"

"Who told me that I can only cook this? Why don't you just not eat it and buy a hot dog or something when you get there." Yu Jiang muttered again, "If you don't like it, get up early and don't let me cook."

Gong Jianan almost spat out the half piece of chicken breast in his mouth onto the steering wheel, "You call a heated instant fat-reducing meal a meal?"

Yu Jiang knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue. He handed the remaining half piece of chicken breast to her and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Gong Jianan, who had been complaining about the bad taste for a long time, opened his mouth happily when someone fed him.

They arrived at Li Hanmo's studio early and learned that he had gone out to dinner with an investor and had not returned yet. The two were led to a small conference room and waited for a while.

Gong Jianan took this opportunity to tinker with what she had made last night and organize her thoughts. It had been a while since she had competed with anyone for resources.

At one o'clock, Director Li and the investors came in on time.

Li Hanmo introduced him, "Mr. Chen, this is Yu Jiang..."

Before Li Hanmo finished speaking, Chen Wenbin said with a friendly smile, "Yu Jiang is the best actress, why do you need Director Li to introduce you? You've already invested in movies, how can I not know you?"

Yu Jiang nodded and smiled politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen. It's my honor that you have heard of me."

Next, Mr. Chen exchanged a few polite words with Yu Jiang, and when he spoke to Gong Jianan later, he was smiling and friendly, and seemed easy to talk to.

Next was Gong Jianan's turn. She had always been a good agent, and this aspect of the conversation had basically no interest to Yu Jiang.

After Gong Jianan finished saying everything she needed to say, Chen Wenbin, who had been smiling the whole time, was no longer the same.

"The current choice is the result of our company's analysis. As a fan, I fully believe in Yu Yinghou's ability, but from an investor's perspective, high returns come first."

Gong Jianan is certainly not willing to be outdone, and with the strength of his own artists, he has the confidence to say anything.

“Mr. Chen, although my artist has only had two commercial films released since entering the industry, you should know that the box office of these two films is also very impressive.”

Chen Wenbin smiled and said, "Of course I know that. Nine years ago, actress Yu's debut film was a commercial film, which earned 2 billion at the box office in that era."

"Even if the movie that was released three years ago cannot be considered a completely commercial film, its box office was more than 500 million, which is the ceiling of the box office for semi-artistic films."

Seeing that he seemed to have really done some analysis and investigation, Gong Jianan felt that what he had done seemed redundant. Such data should not impress a profit-seeking businessman.

Sure enough, Chen Wenbin pointed to the award list on the projection and said, "Yu won awards for both of these two films, which is not easy. But we invest in movies not for the sake of winning awards."

He took a sip of coffee, continued to smile and said calmly: "Do Queen Yu and Manager Gong know the gap between you and Kong Lingxi?"

Knowing that it was not a good thing to say, the two of them naturally did not respond.

"This is the only movie Kong Lingxi has starred in. It had the worst cast and low investment. But just because of her, the box office exceeded 1 billion."
