Chapter 186 Goddess Rena
Three women make a drama, four make a big drama.
Except for Liu Yifei who was a little aloof, Jing Tian, Yang Mi and Tang Yan were all cheerful, optimistic and extroverted. They chattered a lot while eating, making the meal very lively.
During this period, Liu Yifei filmed several big-budget TV series and two low-budget movies, which happened to be her free time.
It’s not that no film crews approached her, but Liu Xiaoli attaches great importance to the quality of the script, and she would not allow Liu Yifei to take on shoddy TV series.
As for Jing Tian, she has not yet fully entered the entertainment industry. She has only played the role of Princess Lin'an in "The Night Patrolman of Dafeng". She mainly goes to school on weekdays and occasionally skips classes to wander around.
Tang Yan is busy with his studies at the moment and is not in a hurry to come out and film.
Only Da Mimi is determined to become famous and is always looking forward to Jiang Heng's resources.
Because Rongxinda’s resources are really limited, not only are the number of film and television dramas it produces small, but it also seems to be somewhat incompatible with her style.
According to the original history, Yang Mi stayed in Rongxinda until 2010, during which time she only had some response for her roles as Guo Xiang in The Return of the Condor Heroes and Qingwen in The New Dream of Red Mansions.
The reason she was able to play Tang Xuejian in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" was because "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" was badly criticized by the original fans, and the crew had to pay attention to the opinions of fans. Fans left messages online one after another, and the crew considered inviting Yang Mi to play the role.
As a result, due to schedule conflicts, I was unable to participate.
Fans called Rongxinda again, and the two crews of "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" discussed and finally agreed to let Yang Mi shoot two TV series at the same time.
So when the contract expired, Yang Mi left Rongxinda and signed with Hong Kong-based Mega Group.
The following year, she became an instant hit with "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and then starred in "Far Cry", which earned more than 88 million yuan at the box office, setting a record for domestic horror films...
It has not been easy for Da Mimi to get to where she is today, as she has no resources and no backing.
He once revealed in an interview program that when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was filming a crying scene on the set. Because he was young and didn't know how to act, he didn't cry very well, and was slapped in public by the director.
If it were someone with poor psychological endurance, he would probably quit the industry.
Not only did Yang Mi persevere, she also relied on "self-deprecating" to deal with various rumors and continued to gain fans.
As for this time, she wants to switch to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures.
First, I think Jiang Heng is a kind person, but more importantly, the resources of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are incredible.
Not to mention the one or two special effects blockbusters released worldwide every year, she has no confidence in being the leading lady.
But even the three TV series that Jiang Heng did not put much effort into, "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Chinese Paladin" and "The Night Patrol of Dafeng", are all top-notch productions.
This makes Yang Mi extremely envious of Tang Yan, who is signed with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. Not only can she study without worries, but she will also have plenty of resources in the future.
However, she had only signed with Rongxinda for two years, had not played any important roles, and received pitifully little pay, but the penalty for breach of contract was as high as one million.
If she wants to change jobs, she can't afford it unless iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are willing to pay.
But how to say this, Yang Mi has no idea whether iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures are willing to accept her.
Fortunately, I know Jiang Heng, but we don’t have many opportunities to communicate with each other on weekdays. I missed him today and I don’t know when I can see him again. I can’t talk on the phone!
So during the meal, Da Mimi hinted at her desire to switch jobs.
Fortunately, the other three girls were all very well protected and didn’t have that many thoughts at all, so no one thought too much about it.
Jiang Heng heard the hidden meaning in Da Mimi's words, and after a little thought, he felt that it would not be a bad idea to sign Yang Mi over.
Although he is not short of money, who would complain about having too much money?
After thinking for a while, he said, "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered a role that suits you very well. Come to the company one day when you are not busy and have a good chat!"
Yang Mi was overjoyed when she heard that, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll make an appointment with you later!" But Jing Tian stupidly said, "Why don't we talk now!"
Liu Yifei couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she gently touched him with her elbow and whispered, "It's a commercial secret, do you want to hear it too?"
"Oh, then I'd better not listen to it!" Da Tiantian smiled innocently, "I'm just wondering if there is anything suitable for me!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "There really is a role that suits you, but it can't be filmed in the near future, maybe next year or the year after next!"
Jing Tian was surprised and delighted, "Really? A special effects movie?"
Jiang Heng nodded, and the other three beauties were stunned. Da Tiantian couldn't even act, so how could she be the leading lady in a blockbuster movie? Was she kidding?
Jing Tian was also afraid that Jiang Heng was trying to trick her, "What role? Can you reveal a little bit?"
She still remembered the four words "trade secrets" that Liu Yifei had just said, but she couldn't keep it secret in her heart, so she asked anyway.
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's a superhero movie, and there's a goddess in it. I think her character is quite similar to you!"
Jing Tian was delighted when he heard this, and he grabbed Liu Yifei's hand and said with a smile: "Director Jiang said I can play a goddess!"
Liu Yifei was a little envious, but she was still happy for her friend, "Congratulations, Tiantian!"
Tang Yan played the role of the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", so she would not be jealous of Jing Tian.
Yang Mi was a little envious. She didn't even have the chance to play the female lead in a TV series, and she was kept secretive when she wanted to switch jobs here.
Even someone like Jing Tian who has no acting skills at all could be invited by Jiang Heng to play the leading role in a blockbuster movie. It really feels good to have a background!
Yang Mi sighed slightly, but Jing Tian happily put the words "trade secrets" behind him.
A pair of beautiful big eyes curved into crescents, and she said in a sweet voice: "What goddess? Should I keep in shape?"
Jiang Heng wanted to say "Funny Goddess", but considering the four girls present, he finally said: "Dawn Goddess, Reina!"
"Goddess of Dawn, Goddess of Dawn?"
Da Tiantian repeated it twice, her eyes sparkling, "It sounds amazing!"
Jiang Heng smiled, "Of course, Reina is designed to look noble and cool, but actually be silly and cute, a rather funny character!"
"Stupid cute?"
Da Tiantian was dumbfounded. She thought Jiang Heng was attracted by her beauty!
Fortunately, she is an optimist and quickly adjusted herself to the situation. She laughed and said, "Actually, I quite like being a comedian. It's so tiring to be such a comedian all day long!"
Liu Yifei, who was standing aside, felt as if she had suffered a critical hit.
In fact, she is not being pretentious, it's just that her special family environment has made her rather cold.
When Yang Mi heard this, she was so envious that she couldn't help it. It was as if there was a little person in her heart shouting, "I can be funny too!"
As for goddesses, Da Mimi looked around and felt that the four of them were equally matched and no one was worse than the other, so why did Director Jiang choose Jing Tian?
Then I thought that Jiang Heng valued Jing Tian's character and wanted her to play the so-called Lena.
If there is more than one female superhero character in the film, wouldn’t she have a chance too!
Just like in “The Night Patrol of Dafeng”, there are so many beautiful female characters!
He immediately said, "By the way, Director Jiang, the movie you want to shoot has a lot of female characters, right?"
Jiang Heng's eyes flashed with admiration, and he thought that Da Mimi was really smart and had quick reactions.
"Well, quite a few. There will be opportunities!"
