Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 198 I've Seen You Sleeping

"Could you sign my autograph?" Tian Xi's hand trembled slightly as she reached for her pen and paper, and she leaned forward slightly.

Yang Chaoyue knew that Zhao Jinmai was staying at the same hotel as him, as he had mentioned before.

At the same time, Zhao Jinmai was also taught to dance by Liu Haochun.

She had even met Zhao Jinmai once before.

Suddenly encountering it, I couldn't control my nervousness.

"Sure..."

Zhao Jinmai almost blurted out her Northeastern accent, but quickly switched back to Mandarin, a signature smile on her lips revealing only her upper teeth, the smile not reaching her eyes: "Okay."

“We’ve met before.” Tian Xi smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling.

"is it?"

Zhao Jinmai's smile remained unchanged. When she accepted the paper and pen from Tian Xiwei, her fingers hovered slightly in the air to avoid excessive contact.

She was certain that she did not know the other person.

His gaze was polite but distant.

Being casual and carefree with familiar people in private is a private matter.

I'm instinctively wary when I'm in contact with strangers.

"Really, I've seen you sleeping." Tian Xiwei spoke a little faster, afraid that the other party would misunderstand.

Zhao Jinmai did not respond, but subconsciously took a small step back.

It seems like the other person isn't very bright.

They can make up anything.

They might steal the instant noodles from my backpack.

Full of vigilance.

Just as he was about to scribble a signature in cursive, he suddenly heard Tian Xiwei say, "Some time ago, in Jiang Yang's car, you were sitting in the passenger seat."

As Tian Xiwei spoke, she gestured and hurriedly explained, "Yang Chaoyue was sitting in the back row. Oh, right, your backpack was also in the back row, and it was full of resumes. I accidentally knocked it over."

After speaking, he unconsciously tugged at the hem of his clothes, waiting for Zhao Jinmai's reaction.

Zhao Jinmai looked up, her eyes lighting up instantly: "So it was you, Tian..."

Yang Chaoyue had mentioned this to me during my time in Chongqing.

I remember her name was Tian... Now I know, it was Tian Xiwei, and she was Jiang Yang's classmate.

"My name is Tian Xiwei, you can just call me Xiao Tian." Tian Xiwei's anxiety was gone.

I was almost mistaken for a female pervert.

As relieved.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Sister Xiwei, it's you! Oh dear, what a mess this is! Chaoyue told me about you!" Zhao Jinmai's eyebrows rose briefly as she realized who it was.

The tense shoulders naturally slumped down.

"Really? What did Chaoyue say?"

"She said you're incredibly good at fighting, that you can take down three girls from the sports training team all by yourself! She knows the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and her slaps make a loud cracking sound."

Tian Xiwei's smile froze.

Zhao Jinmai crossed out the hastily written signature she had given to Tian Xiwei.

He pulled Tian Xiwei to sit on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, took out a postcard from his bag, and signed it for Tian Xiwei in neat handwriting.

It's not a perfunctory signature, but rather a signature with a "to" inscribed on it.

Let's chat for a bit.

Zhao Jinmai then learned that Tian Xiwei had become a new employee of Jiangyang Company and that she would be going to have Liu Haochun teach her dance in a little while.

"Teacher Haochun is in the dance studio on the third floor. She has excellent dance skills and was teaching me yesterday."

"Oh, oh."

Tian Xiwei wasn't as outgoing as Zhao Jinmai.

Knees together, placed at an angle.

Capture key information.

Jiang Yang assigned Zhao Jinmai to be his dance teacher.

Someone qualified to be a dance teacher for a child star like Zhao Jinmai must have excellent skills; I must study hard.

It's a rare treat to have the opportunity to work with an actress like Zhao Jinmai.

Tian Xiwei wanted to find topics to talk about and chat with the other person more.

She noticed that Zhao Jinmai had a little sheep doll hanging on her schoolbag, swaying back and forth: "The little sheep on your schoolbag is very cute."

"This."

Zhao Jinmai put down her pen, glanced at it, and laughed, "This is a goat. It has a real-life counterpart and is extremely violent. If you encounter one, you must kill it."

Are goats violent?

Tian Xiwei was somewhat puzzled.

I've seen goats at the zoo. They bleated and seemed very docile, and they liked to eat grass.

Unbeknownst to her, Zhao Jinmai had reverted to her Shenyang accent: "Don't you believe me? Even wolves can't beat it. I saw it the other day, a bunch of goats built a village somewhere, called Sheep Village, it caused quite a stir, it was even on TV!"

Tian Xiwei was not quite able to follow Zhao Jinmai's train of thought and was greatly shocked.

Done.

Zhao Jinmai stood up and handed the signed autograph to Tian Xiwei: "Xiwei, see you next time! I'll make you a couple of fancy dishes when I have time, they're really delicious."

Zhao Jinmai was in a hurry to get to the film set, so she ran towards the hotel entrance in a flash.

So fast! Tian Xiwei had barely gotten up and arrived at the hotel entrance when she saw Zhao Jinmai already in the hotel car.

It's still that Panamera.

Zhao Jinmai thought it would save trouble, so she simply requisitioned the hotel's spare car for Jiang Yang.

After watching Zhao Jinmai leave, I walked towards the elevator.

Tian Xiwei's mind was far from calm. From last night until now.

It hasn't even been a day.

He met Wang Jun, a top director in the industry, as well as Huang Lei and Hai Qing, and Zhang Zifeng, all of whom were people he would never normally have the opportunity to meet.

I witnessed the film crew shooting night scenes, using artificial light to recreate the light source.

Understand the parameters and camera movements for night scene shooting with photographic equipment.

The props team uses details such as neon signs, worn-out posters, and trash cans to quickly create a sense of realism and everyday life.

Shooting time for each shot, actor positioning, and equipment requirements.

Learning from books alone is rarely as effective as firsthand experience and profound understanding.

Understand the division of labor within the film crew; each position is an indispensable cog in the machine.

Quickly shatter your illusions about the film and television industry and establish a realistic understanding.

After understanding these things, I can use them when I act in the future.

Even in the performance portion of the art exam, the psychological pressure might be much less.

Without Jiang Yang, I probably wouldn't have even gotten past the security guard.

The more I learn about Jiang Yang, the more I realize the gap between myself and Jiang Yang.

He still harbors the ambition to surpass Jiang Yang, even knowing it's impossible.

The bigger reason was that he wanted to quietly follow behind Jiang Yang.

There was a ding.

The elevator doors opened on the third floor.

Tian Xiwei pulled herself out of her thoughts, stepped onto the short plush carpet, and walked towards the dance studio.

I glanced at the postcard in my hand.

Above was a line that Zhao Jinmai had written for herself:

[Things may pass, but they will pass. The road ahead may be long, but it will be bright. Tian Xiwei, I wish you all your dreams and aspirations come true.]
Tian Xiwei paused slightly, her lips twitching.

I admire Zhao Jinmai.

There are four typos in just one line.

The first two sentences should be from a poem written by Wen Kexing.

Zhao Jinmai wrote the character '关' in the first sentence as '光'.

Zhao Jinmai's fame is certainly not as great as that of popular stars like Yang Mi and Liu Yifei.

They are younger than me.

It doesn't diminish my respect for Zhao Jinmai.

This is the first autograph I received from an actor.

Tian Xi gently stroked the paper with her fingertips and slowly pressed the postcard to her chest.

Instead of slapping it on, gently press it down firmly.

Apply gentle pressure with your palm and feel your heartbeat transmitted to the paper.
A smile played on her lips, and dimples appeared: "Good job, Mai Mai."

Typos are not important.

Just understand what Zhao Jinmai means.

Mai Mai speaks in a rambling, unreliable manner, with a strong Northeastern accent, and her writing reflects exactly what she aspires to.

From the moment I signed the brokerage contract with Jiangyang Company, my life began to develop in a direction I had never imagined.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

I don't know how many challenges the future holds.

Just as Zhao Jinmai wrote for herself, "It's all so hard... no, to be precise, it's all so hard but I'll get through it all."

The road ahead lies beneath our feet.

The person I miss is far away.

Even though I know I can't catch up with him, I still want to be the light in his shadow.

Upon arriving at the dance studio, Tian Xiwei did not push the door open and go inside.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door with her fingertips, cleared her throat, and her throat bobbed.

She made her tone respectful and humble: "Teacher Haochun, I am Tian Xiwei. May I come in?"

The pronunciation of the four characters 'Teacher Haochun' is clear and accurate.

The original slightly forward-leaning standing posture was changed to standing upright.

The shoulder strap of the dance bag was wrapped around an extra loop.

I had imagined before that the teacher Jiang Yang hired to teach Zhao Jinmai and Yang Chaoyue dance must have achieved great success.

There is a high probability that they have experience with national-level performing arts groups.

He has won awards in international competitions.

It has a unique curriculum system.

Jiang Yang must have spent a lot of money to hire such a dance teacher, so he must cherish this hard-won opportunity.

"Xiwei, please come in."

Liu Haochun's voice rang out.

Behind the door of the dance studio, two children pretending to be adults were hiding.

Hear the words.

Tian Xi was slightly taken aback.

Judging from the voice, the other person seemed to be about the same age as me, and their voice sounded a little trembling.

Is it just my imagination?

Without much thought, Tian Xiwei responded, "Thank you, teacher."

She slowly pressed down the doorknob and pushed the door open to go inside.
