Wu Dai’s social media was on the verge of collapse. The comments section was filled with malicious curses and slanders.
Star Glory’s public relations and technology departments kept working overtime in an attempt to mitigate the impact. Everyone’s faces were sour. The company seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of gloom, and the atmosphere was oppressive.
Wu Dai was very self-reproachful. He took the initiative to look for Jiang Zhi. He lowered his head and spoke in a choked voice, “I’m sorry. I’m the one who dragged the company down.”
Jiang Zhi fiddled with a few potted plants in the office and moved to a place where the sun was shining. She raised her eyes and glanced at him.
“Our bet concerns the sales volume for this quarter. It’s only a few days now. Don’t be affected by her. have some confidence!
“I’ll give you a few days off to adjust your state of mind.
“The company will hire a teacher for you next week. Your task is to hone your acting skills. In a few months, I’ll let you shoot a big-budget movie!
“In front of the camera, if your acting skills are bad, you will only embarrass me if the director scolds you! Do you understand?”
Wu Dai raised his head in disbelief. Xie Yun was equally shocked as he asked her bluntly.
“That’s impossible! With Wu Dai’s current status and popularity, he won’t even have a chance to shoot an online movie, let alone a cinema movie! Don’t tell me you want to use the Swallowtail method and make him go along with some unspoken rules?”
Jiang Zhi frowned and stared at Xie Yun fiercely. She warned in a solemn tone, “Don’t compare me to Yan Zhang!”
“When I signed the contract, I made you a promise. I’ll keep my word.
“But I’m the boss of the company. I don’t need to discuss any decisions with you. You just need to bring Wu Dai and meet my requirements!”
Jiang Zhi’s face was filled with anger. Xie Yun felt a little ashamed and could only leave with Wu Dai.
In the training room of Star Glory, Wu Dai sat cross-legged on the ground. He could not hide the anticipation in his eyes as he looked at Xie Yun. “Sister Jiang said that I can film in a movie. Is that true?”
Xie Yun was somewhat unable to figure out Jiang Zhi, but he vaguely felt that she had some ability. He answered uncertainly, “I hope so.”
..
On the grassland, at the filming location of “Beacon”, Yu Wan welcomed her final scene.
Jiang Zhi lowered her head and looked at the script. In this scene, a maid was captured by an enemy general and threatened the female lead to give up on attacking the city. In order not to disturb the female lead, the maid sacrificed herself by jumping off the city wall and dying.
At that moment, the entire movie had been sublimated. It brought out tears and the character development of the female lead.
On the monitor, Yu Wan stood on the city wall in a red dress. Her eyes were firm and fearless.
The camera zoomed in and Yu Wan suddenly glared fiercely. She elbowed the soldiers who were restraining her and broke free. As she listened to the whistling wind, she opened her arms without hesitation and jumped off the city wall.
Bang!
The red dress, which looked like a blazing flame, fell to the ground in a determined manner.
Dust flew and blood splattered everywhere.
The prop master slowly tugged on the safety rope. She looked at the sky with a lifeless gaze. A tear fell from her eye. As if she had seen someone, her fingers spasmed as she reached into the air.
“Princess, you saved me when I sold myself to bury my father. As your maid, I can do this one thing for you in this life. Then I won’t have any regrets…
“If there’s a next life, I hope I can be sisters with you… I’ll call you big sister.”
Yu Wan’s gaze was unfocused as she slowly closed her eyes. The camera zoomed in, and a few snowflakes fell from the sky…
Low sobs came from the scene.
Director Zheng held the walkie-talkie, and his eyes were red as he shouted, “Cut!”
In just a few short months, Yu Wan had used her acting skills to conquer everyone in the scene and let the maid live for once.
Jiang Zhi hugged her and gently patted her back. Her eyes flickered with a smile as she said, “Well done.”
Yu Wan choked on her sobs as tears stained her makeup. She said intermittently, “Sister Zhi, thank you. I didn’t give up. I really did it…”
This step of hers was not only her own but also signified that Jiang Zhi’s Star Glory had taken a small step to the top of the entertainment industry!
That night, Jiang Zhi returned to her room and saw the highlights of the finale posted on her official blog.
The comments surprised her. Many fans had spontaneously edited the scenes of the maids and princesses, paired them with BGMs, and edited it into montages of their own.
They had placed the female lead and the maid’s couple in the top ten of the hot searches, which had accumulated a wave of fans for Yu Wan.
Jiang Zhi watched a few videos in a row and had a flash of inspiration. She remembered the resources she had obtained from Swallowtail replacement. As expected, she found the reality show “Actors, please take your seats.”.
She carefully looked at the stage setup and procedure of the variety show and decided to have Yu Wan participate.
The judges of “Please take your seats” were all famous heavyweight actors in the industry, and the female lead of “Beacon”, Meng Yin, was also one of the judges.
So many people wanted to see Yu Wan and Meng Yin together. Jiang Zhi planned to let Yu Wan be in the same frame as her. This way, she could not only improve Yu Wan’s acting skills in the show, but also gain a wave of popularity.
“When ‘Beacon’ is released, they can be considered to be their mascots. When the production crew and sponsors in the industry see Yu Wan’s dedication, they will naturally invite more people!”
Jiang Zhi muttered silently and praised her own unique vision!
