Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1492 "Meeting the Brilliant You" - Tong Tong
Su Jinqing?
How could it be her?
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised to see Su Jinqing.

Su Jinqing is a character in "The Prospector of Love".

I encountered this when I last visited Tianfeng Entertainment.

However, Su Jinqing is just a minor character in the drama, and she hasn't signed in before.
The reason I saw Su Jinqing last time was because I met Su Jinqing's assistant, Xiaoxia.

"Mr. Jiang."

Su Jinqing walked over.

"Su Jinqing, are you at the company?"

Jiang Chen and Su Jinqing started chatting.

Su Jinqing is an artist under Tianfeng Entertainment. As the company's boss, it's only right that he cares about the artists in the company.

Jiang Chen's voice was gentle and refined, which made Su Jinqing feel very comfortable.

This was Su Jinqing's first contact with Jiang Chen.

Su Jinqing had always thought that the company boss was serious and authoritative, but after getting to know Jiang Chen, she realized that Jiang Chen was completely different from what she had imagined.

Elegant, gentle, humble, and polite.

"Su Jinqing, go ahead and get busy." After chatting with Su Jinqing for a few minutes, Jiang Chen dismissed her.

After Su Jinqing left, Jiang Chen prepared to go see Liang Chen.

However, when Jiang Chen saw Liang Chen, he noticed that Liang Chen was practicing singing.

"Liang Chen's singing is indeed no worse than Meng Lan's."

"I wonder when I'll be able to hear Liang Chen sing up close?"

Jiang Chen's suggestion of singing loudly at close range is not the same as normal singing.

However, since Liang Chen was practicing singing, Jiang Chen didn't disturb him and continued walking forward.

A moment later, Jiang Chen met Yu Shishi.

Yu Shishi is a character in "Light Up You". After signing with Tianfeng Entertainment, she has been studying at Yanjing Art Academy.

"Mr. Jiang."

When Jiang Chen saw Yu Shishi, Yu Shishi also saw Jiang Chen and immediately walked over.

"Yu Shishi, you're at the company today?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Yes, I’m training in etiquette at the company,” Yu Shishi replied.

"How's your learning going?" Jiang Chen had met Yu Shishi in April and had also asked her to learn etiquette during the summer vacation.

"It's...not bad." Yu Shishi said, somewhat unsure of herself.

"Not bad? Didn't you learn well?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Perhaps I lack talent. I've been studying for over a month, but I haven't learned much about etiquette," Yu Shishi replied.

"What etiquette have you been learning during this time?" Jiang Chen asked.

“I studied the etiquette of noble ladies in ancient times,” Yu Shishi replied.

"Ancient noble ladies? There's so much etiquette they had to learn." Jiang Chen knew that ancient noble ladies had a great deal of etiquette to learn.

According to the customs of several worlds, the etiquette of noblewomen mainly includes the following aspects.

The first aspect was the study of etiquette books. In ancient times, noblewomen were required to study a series of etiquette books, such as *Admonitions for Women*, *Instructions for Women*, *The Analects for Women*, and *Biographies of Exemplary Women*. These books detailed the behavioral norms and moral standards for women in various situations.

The second aspect was the study of the Four Arts. In ancient times, noblewomen were also required to learn the four arts: playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. These skills not only showcased a woman's talents but also reflected her cultural refinement and aesthetic appreciation.

The third aspect is daily etiquette. In daily life, there were strict rules governing the behavior, speech, and clothing of noblewomen in ancient times. For example, they needed to learn how to walk, stand, and turn gracefully to maintain a dignified demeanor.

The fourth aspect is etiquette for different occasions. In different settings, such as sacrifices, funerals, military events, and receiving guests, noblewomen in ancient times were required to follow different etiquette norms. These etiquettes involved various rituals and procedures to ensure their proper conduct in different situations.

In other worlds, noble ladies would spend at least a decade learning these manners.

Yu Shishi has only been practicing for a little over a month, and at most she has only learned some superficial skills.

"President Jiang, do you know the etiquette of noble ladies in ancient times?" Yu Shishi asked subconsciously upon hearing this.

“Yes, this is the etiquette for noble ladies in ancient times…” Jiang Chen began to explain.

"President Jiang, do you know so much?" Yu Shishi asked.

"Let me look into it."

Jiang Chen said, "Yu Shishi, there are many etiquette rules for noble ladies in ancient times, and it's not something you can learn overnight. But once you learn them, you can benefit from them for life."

“I know,” Yu Shishi nodded.

"Keep up the good work," Jiang Chen encouraged him.

The current Jiang Chen is not the same Jiang Chen as before.

After just a few simple words, Yu Shishi was filled with enthusiasm.

"Go ahead," Jiang Chen said to Shi Shi.

"Okay." Yu Shishi nodded, then went to continue her etiquette class.

A moment later, Jiang Chen left Tianfeng Entertainment.

However, I met Dugu Ruonan in the parking lot of Tianfeng Entertainment.

Dugu Ruonan is a character in "Meet the Brilliant You".

"Miss Dugu."

Jiang Chen had not seen Dugu Ruonan for a long time.

The last time I saw Dugu Ruonan was last November.

At that time, he was doing something unspeakable with Zhen Nian. Dugu Ruonan was outside the room and heard the commotion.

It was for this reason that, under various unforeseen circumstances, he ended up eating Dugu Ruonan's lipstick.

Seeing Dugu Ruonan again now, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of the taste of Dugu Ruonan's lipstick.

"President Jiang." Dugu Ruonan was also somewhat surprised to see Jiang Chen.

"it's me."

Jiang Chen walked over and said, "It's been a while since I've seen Miss Dugu. You've become more and more beautiful."

"President Jiang is joking. I cannot be compared to Zhen Nian," Dugu Ruonan said.

"Hahaha."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Miss Dugu, I think you and Zhen Nian each have your own strengths."

Last time, Jiang Chen talked about polygamy in front of Dugu Ruonan.

Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't hide anything from Dugu Ruonan. Moreover, in Jiang Chen's view, he had already tasted Dugu Ruonan's lipstick. Those whose lipstick he had tasted were essentially his people, stamped with his approval.

Yes, his kiss was like the Imperial Seal of the State, ordained by Heaven, destined for eternal prosperity.

"Mr. Jiang, is there something you need?" Dugu Ruonan was incredibly intelligent; how could she not understand Jiang Chen's meaning? But Jiang Chen was her boss, so she couldn't afford to get angry with him.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to chat with Miss Dugu after seeing her." Jiang Chen knew that Dugu Ruonan wanted him to leave, but he didn't want to leave now. After all, he had finally managed to see Dugu Ruonan.

“President Jiang, I still have work to do,” Dugu Ruonan said.

"Work?" Jiang Chen's eyes flickered. "Sister Ruonan."

Just then, a voice came from the side.

Jiang Chen turned his head to look.

The next moment, a figure came into Jiang Chen's line of sight.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one hundred griffins.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,630 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, a 100-cubic-meter expansion of your space ring, one Luo Orange Mind Fruit, and ten Ten-Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruits.]

"One hundred griffins?"

"This is the sixth time I've checked in and received one hundred griffins."

According to the system introduction, this griffin is the griffin from "Battle Through the Heavens", a fourth-tier magical beast.

Griffins have sun-like plumage and coat colors. Their lion-like hindquarters are covered in yellowish-brown fur, while their eagle-like head and forelimbs are entirely covered in golden eagle feathers, though they may also be creamy white feathers with deep red spots. The feathers on their head and wings may be blue or green, the feathers on their chest are vermilion, and their eagle-like beak and feet may range from transparent yellow to brilliant gold, with black claws.

Because of their larger size, griffins cannot turn and circle as nimbly as birds, but they can still perform a considerable number of aerial maneuvers without a rider. They can fly in any weather and have an instinct for sensing weather changes. One reason griffins are difficult to tame is their strong confidence in their aerial abilities; they will not accept unreasonable commands from their riders.

At the same time, griffins possess superb hunting skills. With their speed, agility, and naturally sharp claws, griffins are truly astonishing when they swoop down from the sky to hunt.

"The fourth-tier magical beast, the Griffin, possesses the strength of a Battle Spirit."

"This means that the griffin has the strength of a Martial Emperor."

"This is an extraordinary treasure."

Although Jiang Chen already has a Martial God Realm puppet, the more Martial Emperor Realm griffins he has, the better.

"The sign-in reward this time is pretty good."

"There are now a total of eight hundred griffins, but it is impossible to control them without the strength of a Martial Emperor."

"However, if we can sign in with a hundred griffins at a time, we believe it won't be long before we can form a griffin army."

"Starting with Shangguan Xiaomei, then Lin Xiaoxiao, Ye Xi, Yan Qi, Hua Li, Zhang Yue, Li Li, An Ran, Su Li, and now Tong Tong, we've signed on to ten more leading actresses without even realizing it."

"10 attribute points, and the space ring's space expanded by 100 cubic meters? This is the basic special reward."

"A Luo of Oranges?"

"This is the second time I've received an Orange Fruit from checking in."

The Orange Spirit Fruit is a spiritual fruit used to cultivate spiritual power, and it is of a higher grade than the Crimson Spirit Fruit. Although the Orange Spirit Fruit and the Crimson Spirit Fruit differ by only one character, they are worlds apart. It can be said that this is the fourth thing to increase spiritual power, besides the Elementary Spirit Nourishing Pill, the Intermediate Spirit Nourishing Pill, and the Crimson Spirit Fruit.

"After refining the Crimson Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute can be increased by 24 points, while after refining the first Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 240 points, and after refining the second Orange Thought Fruit, the Spirit attribute will be increased by 120 points."

"This is an extraordinary treasure!"

"Although only martial artists at the Spirit Abyss Realm can refine the Orange Thought Fruit, it is an extraordinary thing."

"Ten Vermilion Fruits of Ten Thousand Years?"

"This is the seventh time I've checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit is a rare treasure that allows martial artists at the Martial King Realm to quickly advance to the Martial Emperor Realm. After refining the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, one's strength increases by 314, physique by 283, mental strength by 70, and agility by 180. It will be a unique treasure for the Jiang family in the future."

"If everyone signs in a few more times, then everyone can take it."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Tong Tong, a character in "Meet the Brilliant You".

In the drama, she initially works as Ruonan's assistant, later replacing Ruonan as the director of the talent agency department, becoming Ruonan's formidable rival in the workplace. Unlike Ruonan's domineering and assertive style, she appears gentle and harmless, but is actually cunning and manipulative. After their mentor-apprentice relationship sours, she repeatedly suppresses Ruonan, and the power struggle between them ebbs and flows. She maintains a perfect "good Samaritan" image in public, but lacks strong workplace principles; she will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

"The story of 'Meet the Brilliant You' begins in 22."

"There are still five years before the story begins."

"Dugu Ruonan is currently with Tianfeng Entertainment, and I didn't expect Tong Tong to still come to Dugu Ruonan's side."

"Tong Tong is quite young now, she looks like she just graduated."

In the drama, Tong Tong is Ruonan's assistant, whom Ruonan trusts implicitly and teaches her how to be a manager. However, Tong Tong later takes advantage of Ruonan's trust, first deliberately attending company meetings in Ruonan's place, and then posting photos of Song Zihao unconscious in the hospital online. Ultimately, Tong Tong maximizes her own interests through online public opinion and the photos. Finally, to protect its reputation, the company has no choice but to give Tong Tong the position of manager of Ruonan's agency.

Then, Tong Tong pressed her advantage, shifting all the blame onto Dugu Ruonan. Later, Tong Tong even used Sida to sow discord between Song Zihao and Dugu Ruonan. As a result, Song Zihao, seeking revenge on Dugu Ruonan, joined Tong Tong's camp. And because of Song Zihao's involvement, Tong Tong became even more unscrupulous.

Tong Tong thought that with Song Zihao as her trump card, she could easily defeat Dugu Ruonan. Unexpectedly, Tong Tong's ignorance led to her complete downfall at Dugu Ruonan's hands. Although Tong Tong's career was flourishing, her lack of knowledge and strategic thinking meant she would eventually squander Song Zihao's trump card.

Later, Tong Tong began relentlessly getting Song Zihao various variety shows, reality shows, and commercials. In Tong Tong's view, commercials and variety shows were the two fastest ways to make money and an effective way for Song Zihao to become a sensation. However, Song Zihao's original intention was to become an actor with substance, not a pretty face to be manipulated. Therefore, a deep conflict arose between Song Zihao and Tong Tong.

However, Dugu Ruonan had a strong sense of the bigger picture. She first encouraged Sida to participate in singing competitions to broaden his horizons. Later, respecting Sida's wishes, she had him participate in many charity events, thus establishing a positive image as an artist. Although Dugu Ruonan knew that Sida could become a huge star simply by continuously participating in various variety shows, she still recommended him for acting roles in film and television productions, considering his long-term future.

Although Sida received a third male lead role, his acting was superb, captivating the audience from his very first appearance and securing him excellent follow-up opportunities. Most importantly, Sida recovered from his mental illness during filming. Meanwhile, seeing Sida's sudden rise to fame, Tong Tong began to complain that Song Zihao's abilities were inferior to Sida's. Ultimately, due to Tong Tong's inaction, Song Zihao decided to join Dugu Ruonan's side.

Furthermore, when Song Zihao went to the hospital for a follow-up examination, he learned from the nurse that Dugu Ruonan had been taking care of him during his coma, which made him feel guilty towards her. Therefore, Song Zihao decided to work with Dugu Ruonan to expose Tong Tong's despicable behavior to the media. Ultimately, Dugu Ruonan successfully regained her position as the manager.

Tong Tong, however, was blacklisted by the entire industry. Although Song Zihao was behind Tong Tong's defeat, the real mastermind behind it all was Dugu Ruonan. It must be said that Tong Tong, despite her cunning, ultimately fell victim to Dugu Ruonan.

"The struggle between Tong Tong and Dugu Ruonan in the drama is just a normal workplace struggle."

"However, in the drama, Dugu Ruonan is the protagonist, so Tong Tong is the villain."

"But without the main character and supporting character, Dugu Ruonan and Tong Tong are just a success and a failure."

Jiang Chen sized up Tong Tong.

Tong Tong in the drama just lacks a sense of the big picture.

Or rather, she simply chose the "popularity" option over the "acting talent" option.

As the owner of an entertainment company, he is impartial towards both traffic stars and actors with good acting skills.

After all, in today's film and television industry, where capital and traffic are the driving forces, the "protagonist halo" on screen is often monopolized by good looks and popularity. Those faces occupying the center position on posters may briefly ignite the market thanks to the fervor of the fan economy, but they rarely leave a lasting impression on the audience. In stark contrast, there is a group of "golden supporting actors" whose foundation is their acting skills—they do not rely on their names on the trending topics list, but can build a "moat" in the hearts of the audience with their solid performances.

While the survival rules of the film and television industry may seem to have been reshaped by traffic, they actually always adhere to the underlying logic of "content is king." This is essentially the moat of acting talent. While traffic stars rely on their good looks and fan voting to maintain exposure, veteran actors have already honed their acting skills into a transferable core competency. This competency is reflected in three aspects: first, the granularity of character portrayal; second, the penetrating power of emotional resonance; and third, the adaptability to genre breakthroughs.

"Sister Ruonan".

Tong Tong ran up to Dugu Ruonan and said, "So you're here! I thought you'd already gone back to the company." As she said this, Tong Tong looked at Jiang Chen with some curiosity.

Although Tong Tong has not been by Dugu Ruonan's side for long, it seems that apart from business activities, no other men have appeared in her life.

Who is this Jiang Chen?

"I'll go right away." After saying this, Dugu Ruonan said to Jiang Chen, "President Jiang, I'll go to the company first."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, then looked at Tong Tong: "Is this your assistant?"

“Yes, her name is Tong Tong, and she is my assistant,” Dugu Ruonan replied.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded. "I'm going back now, Miss Dugu, please make yourself at home."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Ruonan knew that Jiang Chen did not want to introduce her to Tong Tong, so she nodded and left with Tong Tong.

"Dugu Ruonan... is interesting."

After watching Dugu Ruonan leave, Jiang Chen drove away.

However, Jiang Chen had only been driving for a few minutes when his phone rang.
