Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 166 Only one candidate remains: Tian Xiwei.

Yang Shimin leaned back, his neck stiff: "Over two thousand? This little thing costs over two thousand? Are we being ripped off? Can we get a refund?"
“They’re all big brands, the kind city people use every day. Dad, I should have bought them for you a long time ago.”

"City people have too much money to burn."

Yang Shimin had just spoken when he suddenly stopped talking.

Because I noticed my daughter's eyes were red.

He didn't know if he had said something wrong, but he stopped resisting and became an obedient wooden man, letting his daughter squeeze out lotion and apply it to the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

The icy touch sent a shiver down his spine.

A feeling of resistance welled up inside me.

I instinctively wanted to wipe it clean with paper, but I quickly suppressed that thought.

My daughter has grown up, become successful, and is even better than me.

My daughter would never harm me.

You should listen to what your daughter says.

Yang Shimin bit his cheek and stared at the bottle from which Yang Chaoyue was squeezing out lotion, muttering to himself, "How much does this drop cost? Good heavens."

First, there were crow's feet at the corners of my eyes.

Then there are the frown lines on the forehead.

Next came the deep nasolabial folds.

The big yellow dog in the corner kennel was gnawing on a hard steamed bun that it had somehow gotten its hands on.

The neighbor's speckled chickens are clucking in the corner, ready to lay an egg at any moment.

The bottom of the wood-fired stove was stuffed with dried corn stalks, which crackled and popped as they burned.

The aluminum kettle lid bounced as the steam pushed it up.

Father's wrinkles can never be filled in.

It has nothing to do with the price of skincare products, nor with their quality.

It's related to time.

Yang Chaoyue rubbed Yang Shimin's sunspots on his cheekbones in circles with his index finger, as if wiping away the rust of time.

She quickly wiped her eyes: "If only I had been successful two years earlier."

If you had made money a couple of years earlier, you wouldn't have aged so quickly, and I could have seen more of what you looked like when you were young.

I can't outpace the speed at which my father ages.

I never saw my father when he was young; I only saw him in old, yellowed photographs.

There wasn't even a video recording left.

Yang Shimin grinned: "Your mother has seen what you looked like when you were young, and the country has seen what you looked like in military uniform. It's worth it."

Suddenly I realized that my daughter has really grown up.

When I was a child, I would wash my daughter's face with a wet towel in front of the well in the courtyard during the summer.

My daughter is now using skincare products on her face.

He then asked, "Girl, are you having a hard time out there?"

"It's not bitter at all. Yang-ge treats me well. If you have time next year, I'll take you to Beiping for fun."

Yang Shimin instinctively wanted to refuse because the travel expenses to Beiping were too expensive.

Seeing her daughter's reddened eyes, her Adam's apple bobbed a few times.

Swallow your words of refusal.

His wrinkled face held a look of longing: "Beiping is great. Beiping has Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and Chairman Mao."

Making money is hard, and my daughter must be very tired working in another city.

If you refuse, we can talk about it later.

My daughter is very busy and doesn't come home often, so at least for now, I'll try to make her happy.

I'm useless now and can't help my daughter much.

I can do it without spoiling my daughter's fun.

Fatherly love is silent yet passionate.

……

Jiang Yang closed the small group chat, not wanting to look at it anymore.

Annoying.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of chess pieces being placed heavily.

Look up.

The situation on the chessboard, which was originally very favorable, suddenly took a turn for the worse.

The chariot, horse, and cannon are gone, but there is one pawn left, two advisors are gone, and there is one elephant left.

Over there, the old man had a cart, a horse, and a cannon.

The old man's chariot was already covering his own king: "Checkmate!" "Old man, this move doesn't count, I want to take it back." Jiang Yueyue became impatient.

"You'll get to take back your moves, I'll make you take back three games already."

The old man glared at Jiang Yueyue.

Jiang Yueyue didn't dare to talk back.

Seeing the old man leave, she patted Jiang Yang's shoulder with her small hand, her delicate, fair face looking like a wronged child, pouting: "Brother, it's all your fault."

"Blame me? I only made the first move, I didn't even have a chance to make a move the whole time. You pushed me out of the game and played chess with this old man, and you blame me for losing?"

"It's all your fault for taking the wrong first step!"

Jiang Yang understood.

It's probably because we've had guests at home these past few days, and I've been too polite to my sister, failing to let her feel the love from her older brother.

Love requires not only heart, but also effort.

Jiang Yang grabbed Jiang Yueyue's pigtails, placed them on his knees, and let Jiang Yueyue kick her legs wildly. He slapped her bottom several times, making a loud slapping sound.

"You'd better get married soon and stop bothering me. Whoever marries you will be incredibly unlucky!"

In no time at all, he had Jiang Yueyue completely under his control.

Jiang Yueyue's eyes lit up when she talked about Yang Chaoyue and Zhao Jinmai.

When the topic turned to Jiang Yang's company, she was extremely curious: "Brother, your company must be huge!"

"Very small."

"You're kidding me, it's definitely huge!"

The younger sister then asked, "There must be a lot of employees, right?"

"Not many."

"You've lied to me again. There must be a lot more. You're very cunning, bro."

Jiang Yang looked at the message sent by Tang Shuliang from Canxing on his phone.

I'm currently talking to Tang Shuliang about the casting call for extras on "Go Fighting!"

The announcement that Zhang Ruonan received.

The deal is almost finalized.

Tang Shuliang readily agreed.

Jiang Yang is now the lead actor in "A Little Reunion," a TV series that will be broadcast on a major satellite channel. Although it hasn't aired yet, Jiang Yang's status has already changed.

So, the prerequisite for having Zhang Ruonan, who has absolutely no acting skills, act alongside the MC guests in a variety show is that Jiang Yang also has to go in and act as a special extra alongside the MC guests again.

When the drama "A Little Reunion" premieres, the publicity team can use it to generate buzz for the variety show "Go Fighting!"

Zhang Ruonan's appearance fee is the same as Yang Chaoyue's.

Jiang Yang's announcement fee increased tenfold.

Tang Shuliang sent a WeChat message: ["Xiao Jiang, I've spoken with Yan Min. Director Yan said that when the variety show airs, the publicity team might use you as a topic of discussion. Are you okay with that?"]
Jiang Yang didn't reply immediately.

Jiang Yang was well aware of Tang Shuliang and Yan Min's thoughts.

Even when a variety show airs, the publicity team has a concept for the title they come up with.

#Taking any job for money, the lead actor in the primetime TV drama "A Little Reunion" was reduced to an extra on the variety show "Go Fighting!"#
At that time, targeted advertising on Weibo, WeChat official accounts, and Moments may lead to similar topics appearing.

Promotional channels include short video platforms.

These are Miaopai and Meipai, respectively. They will probably also edit videos of themselves as the lead actor in TV dramas and as an extra in variety shows, and splice them together.

There should be some coverage in print media.

Tencent Entertainment and Sina Entertainment, needless to say, will seize any trending topic that emerges.

Jiang Yang sent a message: [“It’s acceptable, Director Tang.”]
Tang Shuliang sent a message: ["That's good. I'll arrange the contract in a bit and send it to you and Zhang Ruonan separately, three copies each. Once you and Zhang Ruonan have signed them, just send them over. You don't need to come in person like last time."]
Seeing that Jiang Yang was not averse to it, Tang Shuliang tried to chat with Jiang Yang for a while longer.

Make a verbal promise to Jiang Yang.

The second season of "Go Fighting!" has only two episodes left to be filmed.

If Jiang Yang is willing, he can bring people to record these two episodes without having to audition; they can pass directly.

Jiang Yang's salary increased tenfold, but the salaries of the people he brought remained the same.

[“Okay, Director Kang, I’ll bring people for both of these episodes.”] Jiang Yang immediately replied to Tang Shuliang.

You can easily earn 10 yuan by recording just two episodes. Why not take the opportunity?

The first issue carries Zhang Ruonan.

Who will they bring in the next episode?

Yang Chaoyue?
Yang Chaoyue already has experience recording variety shows, so he might not be able to gain much popularity from them.

Only one candidate remains.

Tian Xiwei.
