Da Mimi naturally understood this principle, and she was very ambitious, so she planned her star path early on.

While there is still traffic and commercial value, cooperate with more well-known art film directors and produce a few best actresses.

This is supplemented by her marketing skills.

And Director Wei’s big, thick legs.

It's easy to transform into a powerful actor.

So the drama "Baby" came into her sight.

For this drama, Da Mimi really made a lot of sacrifices.

"When I was filming before, I always made myself look as beautiful as possible. During this film, I truly achieved unity between myself and the role. Director Wei, I finally understand what a true actor is. I have been elevated."

Da Mimi seriously shared her thoughts after the filming with Director Wei.

"Stars need beauty, actors only need acting skills. I was too superficial before, just wanting to look glamorous in front of the camera. I believe that after the release of "Baby", the industry and the audience will definitely change their views of me. I, Yang Mi, am serious about becoming a people's artist."

Director Wei could tell that Da Mimi was full of confidence.

This is in line with Da Mimi's personality and style.

Always set a flag before the work is released, and even do marketing in advance.

Nor is he afraid of being slapped in the face later.

This is also a kind of confidence.

In her previous life, Da Mimi had been slapped in the face many times.

But he never changes his ways.

In this life, Da Mimi's life has become smoother since she got close to Director Wei, so naturally she has no worries.

It is difficult for Director Wei to comment on this.

He could only offer a friendly reminder: "Mimi, acting ugly doesn't guarantee you'll win an award. Think about how much Leonardo DiCaprio has put himself through to win the Oscar for Best Actor, and he still ended up being a runner-up for years."

Leonardo Dicaprio won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2016 for "The Revenant", but before that, it had almost become a routine for Leo to be a runner-up at the Oscars.

Da Mimi has a different opinion on the example given by Director Wei.

"Although Leo had to play ugly roles for many years before winning the Oscar for Best Actor, his acting reputation has been getting better and better since he started to torment himself with ugly roles. I'm not expecting to win the Best Actress award with just this one movie, this is just a good start."

Director Wei still found it difficult to comment: "Mi Mi, Leo's acting reputation is getting better and better because his acting skills are not bad to begin with. Playing an ugly role does not improve his acting skills, it just makes it more in line with the aesthetic tastes of those judges."

"What do you mean? You think my acting is terrible?"

"Mimi, there's no need to ask me about things that are already known to everyone."

Da Mimi was so angry that she wanted to hang up the phone.

"I am telling the truth."

"Can you just tell the truth?"

Da Mimi was very angry: "Don't you know that the most taboo thing to say these days is the truth?"

Director Wei laughed out loud: "Mimi, what are you implying?"

"I'm being introspective. Acting is something like that. If there are too many people praising it, then passersby will think it's good. How many audiences really understand acting?" Da Mimi complained. "They just believe whatever mainstream public opinion says. Are those veteran actors who are always praised for their acting really that good? Zhao Liying's fans always use my acting skills to criticize me. Is her acting really better than mine?"

Director Wei originally wanted to laugh.

But after hearing what Da Mimi said, Director Wei didn't laugh.

"From a factual point of view, Mimi, what you said makes sense, at least you are half right." Director Wei commented fairly.

It is true that some actors’ acting skills do not live up to their reputation.

Including many best actors and actresses, winning awards is not a victory for acting skills.

It is the victory of the godfather or godmother or biological parents.

This is also an undeniable fact.

"However, if you want the audience to recognize your acting skills, the prerequisite is that you must at least reach an above-average level of acting skills. The audience may not be able to tell the difference between 85 points and 95 points, but the difference between 55 points and 95 points is still easy for the audience to distinguish." Director Wei reminded.

Da Mimi remained optimistic: "After three days of absence, one should be re-examined. Xiao Wei, just wait and see. My acting skills in 'Baby' this time are at least 85 points. If I find someone to praise my acting skills, it will definitely be 95 points. Then I will slap you in the face."

Director Wei laughed again: "What if your acting skills are ridiculed?"

"Impossible! I've already spent a ton of money on press releases, and public opinion follows money." Da Mimi confidently said, "If this is still mocked, I'll quit the entertainment industry and marry you to raise our family."

Director Wei tutted his words. "I heard everything you were planning on the other end of the phone. The consequences are too serious. I'm afraid you're rigged. How about this? If your acting is mocked this time, promise me you'll go on a variety show."

It just so happened that the guest list for the show "Goodbye Friends" that Station A was planning to produce had not yet been finalized, so Director Wei helped the program team to finalize one.

A female star like Da Mimi, who has her own traffic and trending search physique, is of course what variety shows are looking for. Da Mimi had already contacted the production team at this time. When she heard Director Wei say this, she suddenly became a little angry: "Director Wei, you want to exploit me again."

"What do you mean I'm exploiting you? Mr. Yang can be the co-producer and investor of the show." Director Wei said calmly, "If you earn your own money and spend it yourself, then you're just working for yourself."

"The big head is still for you."

"What? You still want to grab the lion's share for me?"

"I definitely won't snatch it. I kind of miss your big head."

Director Wei felt his heart suddenly swell.

We were chatting happily, why did it suddenly become dirty?

"First, tell me, who is the 'friend' you are going to choose for me?"

"I don't know. I wouldn't personally take care of everything for a small show like this. I just mentioned it to you today. The production team will make the final decision. If you've already accepted the invitation, you can discuss it with them."

Director Wei gave Ms. Yang full autonomy to make her own decisions, but he still reminded her, "But don't be too peaceful. Most of the audience are there to have fun. They watch the show to have fun. If you play on the sentimental side of sisterly love, it will be too boring."

This principle is very clear to everyone.

"Okay, so what if I win?"

"How do you win? Will you win the Best Actress award?" Director Wei asked.

"That's not the case."

Although Da Mimi is arrogant, she is not so arrogant as to win the Best Actress award for just one movie.

Although it is not impossible if Director Wei is willing to help her.

However, when it comes to awards, Director Wei has never really done any public relations for the people around him.

Although he knew that even if he didn't use the backdoor, there would be other sponsors or circles who would open the backdoor, Director Wei still retained some integrity.

These are the last bottom lines I have for this industry.

Although there are not many, they do exist.

Director Wei also feels that he is the boss with the most bottom line in this industry, no doubt about it.

"I hope it gets to the point where most netizens praise my improved acting skills, and then mainstream public opinion recognizes that I have the potential and sincerity to become a powerful actor."

"No problem." Director Wei agreed immediately.

Because he knew Da Mimi couldn't do it.

At least that was not done in the original time and space.

Of course, in another life, because of the butterfly effect, nothing is impossible.

There is still a 0.001% chance that he will lose to Da Mimi.

But it doesn't matter.

It's not like he can't afford to lose.

"What do you want if you win?" Director Wei asked.

Da Mimi thought about it and felt that the request was too excessive and even if she mentioned it, Director Wei would not agree to it.

We can only settle for the next best thing.

"If I win, you can post a short video on Station A using your account, publicly stating that you think I'm the best actress among the 85 flowers."

Director Wei: “…”

Hard to comment.

"Director Wei, what's wrong? You won't agree to this? That's too insincere, isn't it?" Da Mimi was a little dissatisfied: "I originally wanted you to use your account to post that we are together, and then say that the account was hacked."

Director Wei coughed lightly and said, "I promise, as long as you win, I will help you post a video to criticize the other 85 flowers."

"Really?" Da Mimi's eyes lit up.

"real."

"It's a deal. I'll thank you properly then."

Da Mimi has already seen her bright future.

Director Wei sighed.

Ideal is plump, reality is skinny.

He could only wish her success.

……

"So, it turns out that famous female celebrities are like this in private."

Chen Yao looked as if her eyes had been opened.

Director Wei was amused by Chen Yao: "What did you expect?"

"I thought they would be very aloof. It's normal to act like a big shot in the circle. Even with the increase in self-media, acting like a big shot is still common. After all, the more popular a star is, the more people surround them, and they themselves can't feel that they are acting like a big shot." Chen Yao explained.

It can be seen that she has already thought it is normal to act like a big shot.

The special atmosphere of the entertainment industry has alienated her ideas.

However, Director Wei agreed with Chen Yao's statement.

It is indeed common for celebrities to act like big shots.

He even dares to act like an 18th-tier unknown star like Ma Tianyu.

Even after Lu Han was completely disappointed, he still dared to make fun of ordinary people during the live broadcast.

If you live in an atmosphere of being sought after for a long time, you will think that such an atmosphere is normal and that everyone around you should praise and worship you.

But this kind of thing will never happen to Director Wei.

"They might act like big shots, but who would dare to act like a big shot in front of me?" Director Wei said calmly, "Do they want to quit?"

Chen Yao looked at the domineering Director Wei, and her slightly drunk brain regained its rationality.

"That's true, but Teacher Yang is really down-to-earth."

Spending money on press releases, hiring internet trolls, and dragging down peers...if these words were said in public, they would definitely become a hot topic.

However, Chen Yao is not so stupid as to offend Da Mimi and Director Wei at the same time.

So Director Wei is not worried.

"We are all ordinary people, normal people. Jealousy and vanity are normal, especially in the entertainment industry. Most people are like this in private. Even I often complain about other directors in private. You just get used to it."

He had seen so many of these so-called bigwigs and big stars that he felt they were all just empty talkers.

The reason why I have achieved greater success than others is partly due to my strength, but mostly due to luck and the times.

There is no need to be superstitious about how powerful they are, and it is better to disenchant them as soon as possible.

There may be a gap between you and the big guys, but the gap will definitely not be tens of thousands or even tens of millions of times.

That is just the unfairness magnified by the uneven distribution of the times.

"Habits are habits, but you still have to be careful when you speak in the future. Teacher Yang is down-to-earth only in front of me. You still have to be cautious in your words and actions in public, so as not to be recorded and eventually ruin your image." Director Wei reminded.

Chen Yao nodded. "Of course I am. I'm not stupid. But I don't really need to care about this. My status is too low, so no one is targeting me."

Director Wei smiled.

"Brother, do you think there will be more red projects led by Guan Fang in the future?" Chen Yao asked with concern.

A big part of the reason why many unknown celebrities in the circle want to apply for the art troupe this time is because there are rumors that the red projects led by the government will give priority to actors with a red background in their resumes.

Everyone knows that in the country, there is always only one boss.
