I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Take "Chinese Paladin 3" for example. This drama is such a classic that even after 20 years, many people still watch it repeatedly!

Yang Mi plays two roles in the show, Tang Xuejian's liveliness and playfulness and Xi Yao's gentle affection. The contrast is so striking, it's like magic. She has a firm grasp on each character. As soon as the show aired, her popularity soared, attracting many fans. It received a high rating of 8.5 on Douban and became the "white moonlight" of fantasy dramas in the hearts of a generation.

Yang Mi's ability to maintain her position as a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry is largely due to her hit works, which act like "trump cards" propelling her career to new heights.

The 2011 drama "Palace" was a phenomenal success, appearing out of nowhere and creating a nationwide ratings frenzy. Each episode easily broke the 5 rating mark, making it a true dark horse in the ratings that year!

Yang Mi's portrayal of Luo Qingchuan is quirky, clever, and brave in pursuing love, captivating audiences and drawing many into Qingchuan's joys and sorrows.

With this drama, Yang Mi won the Most Popular Actress Award at the 17th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Awards, and her fame and popularity soared instantly, gaining millions of fans.

There's also "Eternal Love," which was even more impressive and propelled Yang Mi's acting career to its peak!
This drama tells the story of Bai Qian and Ye Hua's three lifetimes of heart-wrenching love. Yang Mi's grasp of the character is incredibly precise. She portrays Bai Qian's transformation from an innocent girl to a domineering goddess with such detail that it's as if she experienced it herself.

This show has garnered a staggering 598 billion views online. Isn't that an astonishing number?

It set a glorious record of being the first in history, and it was also very popular in overseas markets, becoming the number one Chinese-language drama in terms of overseas viewership. This made Yang Mi's influence go beyond national borders, and many fans around the world know her.

Cheng Sheng even thought that if Yang Mi were an artist under his company, he might have filmed "Eternal Love" first, making Yang Mi a top-tier artist.

Unfortunately, Yang Mi was not an artist under Cheng Sheng's company, but rather, like in another timeline, she was signed with Rong Xinda Film and Television Company.

However, Yang Mi's acting career has not been smooth sailing. With fame comes trouble!
Along with her high popularity, controversies and topics abound, making Yang Mi arguably the queen of online buzz.

First, let's talk about her acting skills. In the early years, some viewers felt that her performances were a bit formulaic, especially in some emotionally charged scenes, where her movements and expressions looked a bit stiff and monotonous, lacking depth.

For example, in a certain drama, when she expressed anger, people always said that her angles and expressions were similar, and that she didn't convey the character's deeper state of mind, so she was labeled as having "poor acting skills".

Her love life has attracted even more attention. Her marriage with Liu Wei was initially blessed by everyone, but it eventually ended in divorce. There were so many rumors in between, from speculation about marital discord to disagreements about raising children. It caused quite a stir and the public was in an uproar. Everyone was watching her every move.

Furthermore, her interactions with male co-stars are often over-interpreted. For example, after collaborating on variety shows with Deng Lun and Wei Xun, rumors of their romances spread like wildfire, with fans discussing it heatedly and the media relentlessly pursuing the story.

But Yang Mi has a really high EQ. When faced with criticism about her acting skills, she was very frank. She said she would reflect on herself and that she needed guidance from the team and director when filming. She openly admitted her shortcomings and expressed her determination to improve.

When faced with romantic rumors, she either makes a few humorous remarks or directly denies them, being decisive and efficient without any hesitation. This minimizes the negative impact and even turns these controversies into buzz, continuously solidifying her top-tier status in the entertainment industry. You have to admire that skill.

Cheng Sheng felt that he really should learn a lot from Yang Mi when it came to scandals.

Based on her emotional intelligence alone, Yang Mi is hailed as an evergreen in the entertainment industry, remaining a top star for nearly 20 years since her debut. That's because she truly has the ability.

In the fast-paced entertainment industry, many of their contemporaries have long since disappeared from the public eye.

Some returned to their families, while others adopted a more passive, laissez-faire attitude.

Only Yang Mi is still working hard on the front lines of her career, delivering new works to the audience every year and helping the artists under her company gain wider recognition. When it comes to her career, Yang Mi is serious.

It's often said that career-oriented women possess a natural charisma, and that's certainly true.

Beautiful and career-minded women are like rare gems. No wonder men admire strength; anyone would be captivated by their drive and ambition.

Behind every woman's glamour lies the confidence gained through quiet hard work and continuous improvement.

No matter how privileged your birth or how good your conditions are, what truly determines your potential is your unwavering, upward-striving spirit.

If a woman pursues love, then only one man will fight for her; if she pursues a career, then she will own the world herself, and many men will help her expand her territory.

Women who build their careers need to be hardworking and diligent if they earn money through physical labor; quick-witted if they earn money through mental labor; decisive and ruthless if they make money from money; adept at interpersonal relationships if they earn money through resources; and broad-minded if they use people to make money.

The stronger a woman is, the gentler she becomes. You should know that vitality is a woman's greatest personal charm. When you truly reach a higher level in society and achieve true financial freedom, you will naturally live a clear-headed and insightful life.

Women who can earn money and build successful careers fall into two categories: those who have thoroughly studied books and those who have graduated from the "university of life" without ever studying.

They have a clear understanding of themselves, know how to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, have strong resilience, remain calm in difficult situations, know how to conceal their brilliance, are dazzling but not blinding, and see through things without revealing them.

Only people like this can achieve great things.

Yang Mi is such a strong woman.

Unfortunately, even such a strong woman can be taken advantage of one day.

She weathered storms with others for over a decade, only to end up benefiting someone else.

According to the development trajectory of Yang Mi in another world, she will establish Jiaxing Media Film and Television Agency this year. The big boss will not be Yang Mi, but her two agents.

The three of them have known each other for many years and are both colleagues and friends.

At the peak of Yang Mi's career, the three hit it off and decided to become their own boss, investing millions to register Jiaxing Media.

In order to enhance the reputation of Jaywalk Studio, the company signed many new artists.

Some of the more well-known ones include Dilraba, Zhang Long, Gao Guang, Li Rui, Liu Lin, and others.

These are also the first batch of artists signed by Jaywalk Studio. (End of Chapter)
