Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

This message was immediately overwritten by a new message: [“These are all pictures from yesterday, of Nazha in person, she looks much better than on TV.”]
Gulnazar?

It's that actress from Xingjiang.

I have a strong impression of Zhou Ye.

I've seen Gulnazar in "Xuan-Yuan Sword" and "God of War Zhao Yun".

On Weibo, Gulnazar is frequently seen being criticized and trending on social media.

The last time she was criticized the most was for her relationship with Zhang Han, where she was accused of being a homewrecker.

As a result, Nazha's Weibo comment permissions are turned off.

Open the high school class group chat.

Looking through the chat history, I realized that Gulnazar came to Chongqing yesterday to promote the mobile game "Sky Change". She made brief appearances in places like Jiefangbei, Hongyadong, and Nanshan.

There were photos of Gulnazar taken by classmates at the scene in the group chat.

Some are wearing custom-designed outfits for the Fairy of Illusion from the game and holding 3D-printed weapons and props.

There's also a video featuring the brand's voiceover: "I'm waiting for you in the new 'Sky Change' server, Misty City Secret Realm. Type 'Nazha loves you' to claim exclusive wings!"

The first recording was in Mandarin.

Later, when asked to speak the version in the Chongqing dialect, Nazha practiced it several times and her accent was perfect.

There's a nine-grid photo collage that Nazha posted on Weibo before, captioned: "[The Secret Realm of the Foggy City]".
One of them contains a QR code for a new game server.

The Weibo post, made an hour ago, has already been forwarded 5.2 times.

There are 8.7 comments.

It received 12.3 likes.

"I hope that one day I can become a star like Gulnazar." Zhou Ye's eyes sparkled as he looked at Gulnazar's Weibo data.

There is envy, there is longing.

No, you don't need to become a star. Being a well-known actor with a wide range of roles is enough.

That way, you'll have many opportunities to play different roles for the audience.

It's a career I'm passionate about.

Hopes are slim, seize the opportunity.

After passing the initial audition for the Beijing Film Academy, Jiang Yang taught her acting techniques, and she passed the second round of auditions.

I went into a flower shop but couldn't find a suitable bouquet.

I then looked for other florists.

Looking up, I saw a tall girl waiting at the traffic light at the intersection ahead. She was about half a head taller than me, with long hair and wearing a light yellow trench coat.

What caught Zhou Ye's attention was that the girl was walking with a pet dog, which was lying on the ground.

I've loved pets since I was a child.

Just on the way.

Zhou Ye quickened his pace and walked over.

Wearing sunglasses, Gulnazar looked up at the traffic light across the street; there were still 60 seconds left to wait.

He looked down at the pet dog at his feet.

To be precise, it was a retired guide dog.

Yesterday, she completed filming with the mobile game brand. After that, she will film a public service advertisement in which she plays a blind person.

Previously, Gulnazar would usually go directly to the set and have the acting coach tell her how to act.

Since she made up her mind to become the top female star at Tangren Media, many of her ideas have changed.

If you don't improve your professional skills, you'll always just be a pretty face that netizens will scorn.

I had previously discussed this matter with Jiang Yang on WeChat.

Jiang Yang said he should get used to the guide dog first to avoid making the performance too obvious during filming and undermining the public welfare theme.

Jiang Yang made a suggestion casually.

Gulnazar took it to heart.

Especially after seeing Jiang Yang's performance in the main episode of "Go Fighting!" the day before yesterday, I understand why Xu Xiaoou values ​​Jiang Yang so much.

So, following Jiang Yang's advice, I made sure to spend some time with the guide dog.

It was found to be effective.

First, you need to understand the habits of guide dogs and their commands.

Incorrectly triggering commands or accidentally touching the guide harness can cause the dog to stop working.

Guide dogs will actively avoid obstacles, but when they close their eyes and pretend to be disabled, they will instinctively pull on the leash.

It took several days to gradually get used to it.

I also have more confidence in my filming.

Even if it's just a public service film that not many people will see, we should still put our best effort into making it well.

I just checked the comments section after Weibo opened up comment permissions, and among the liked comments were some people criticizing their own looks: [“A shoehorn face like that is fit to endorse a fantasy game? I suggest renaming it ‘Sky Shoehorn’”]
Some people are calling themselves mistresses:

[“How dare a mistress accept a game endorsement? You should type ‘Nazha loves money’ instead.”]
["Have Zhang Han and Zheng Shuang gotten back together? When are you retiring from the entertainment industry?"]
Some people question their own professional abilities:

"Are the game company blind? Instead of hiring a mannequin to play the fairy, why not have Secretary Yang?"

There is also regional discrimination:
"What are you doing pretending to be a Chongqing girl, you Xingjiang native? Go back to your naan stall."
[“He can’t even speak standard Mandarin properly and he’s trying to imitate a dialect. His ‘Bashi Dehen’ sounds like ‘Bashi Dehen’. He’s trying to build a down-to-earth persona, but it’s backfired.”]
Further down, there were comments spontaneously generated by the fans themselves: ["Thank you for following 'Sky Change'! The new server 'Misty City Secret Realm' launches on February 14th. Enter 'Nazha loves you' to receive exclusive wings and a mount!"]
I closed the comment section because I couldn't bear the online abuse.

Now that comments are open, I can foresee that the online abuse against me will only intensify.

Be mentally prepared.

But when I actually see it, my heart still aches.

It's not really the netizens' fault.

It's because my own business skills are lacking.

If you can't let your work speak for itself, you deserve to be criticized.

"Sister, how old is your dog? It's so cute." Suddenly, she heard someone ask her; it was a girl's voice.

Gulina resisted the urge to turn her head to look and maintained the behavior of a blind person.

As Jiang Yang suggested, I've been immersing myself in the lives of blind people these past few days to master the skills.

Always keep your head tilted slightly upward at a fixed angle.

Instead of looking at the person speaking to them, they turn their face slightly towards the source of the sound.

Knowing that he was wearing sunglasses and the other person couldn't see his eyes.

She glanced down and saw a girl squatting next to a guide dog, her attention completely focused on the dog, a smile on her lips.

Gulnazar did not respond immediately.

Instead, they waited for a second.

He mimicked the process of a blind person judging by sound before asking, "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, sister."

"It will be eight years old soon."

Gulnazar deliberately responded with a lower, husky voice than usual, which matched her current age and makeup style.

"Eight years old? Much younger than me."

Zhou Ye muttered something to himself and looked up at the girl beside him.

I then realized he was blind. He was wearing sunglasses and had dry, yellow hair.

She has deep nasolabial folds and sagging skin on her cheeks.

He looked to be around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.

In the public service advertisement she was about to film, Gulnazar played a blind person in her forties, and she was wearing makeup when she was getting used to the guide dog.

When holding the traction rope, gently stroke the rope with your thumb in a regular motion.

It represents muscle memory formed through long-term use.

The route is to go to the nearby Ciyun Temple to kneel and pray to the Bodhisattva for blessings.

Zhou Ye didn't look at Gulnazar much; his attention was all on the guide dog.

She observed the guide dog very carefully the first time she saw it.

The dog is wearing dark brown leather, and its back strap is printed with the words "[Guide Dog - At Work]" in yellow reflective lettering.

The leash was held by Gulnazar.

The collar is engraved with the custom slogan 'Love Makes the World Visible'.

The dog wears a silver nameplate on its left front leg, indicating it is a retired guide dog.

Zhou Ye glanced up at Gulnazar, then his attention returned to the guide dog: "It doesn't look like it's eight years old."

Seeing that Zhou Ye did not doubt her blindness, Gulnazar felt somewhat relieved.

This shows that simulating the life of a blind person and experiencing their plight during this period has indeed helped improve his acting skills in this area.

There has been progress.

"So how old do you think it is?" Gulnazar asked with a smile.

Zhou Ye did not answer.

Because the light has turned green.

Gulnazar stood still, waiting for the guide dog to get up, avoid the crowd, and feel the leash being pulled on her hand before she started walking.

Keep your gaze straight ahead.

The head doesn't move.

Try to immerse yourself in the role of a blind person and try to understand the inconveniences of blind people's lives.

Suddenly, I felt my other hand being held: "Sister, can't you see? I'm holding your hand."

Gulnazar was slightly taken aback, and her eyes behind her sunglasses glanced at Zhou Ye beside her.

It reached up to my earlobe.

She has a youthful appearance.

She was without makeup.

Thinking back to my student days, I remember how I would take the initiative to do good deeds.

She gripped Zhou Ye's hand tighter: "Thank you."

She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you helping me?"

"Respecting the elderly and caring for the young, helping the weak, isn't that what we should do? That's how my parents taught me. I'm already in my senior year of high school, so I learned it a long time ago."

Zhou Ye said matter-of-factly, "Walk slowly, don't be afraid, my dog ​​and I will stay with you."

Gulnazar was stunned for a few seconds.

Online, all I hear is malice from strangers.

For the first time in real life, I felt the kindness of a stranger towards me.

He led Gulnazar across the zebra crossing and then led her to a bench on the street to sit down.

When Gulnazar sits on the bench, her legs are together and slightly turned inward, reflecting the habit of blind people who lack a sense of spatial security.

"Little sister, you go ahead and do your work. I'll just sit here and rest for a while."

Zhou Ye squatted down next to Gulnazar, with both feet flat on the ground and knees apart.

The girl's unguarded state.

"I'm not busy, sister, I'll stay with you a little longer."

Zhou Ye didn't leave.

It's still early.

She then brought up the topic of guide dogs.

I'm always curious about new things I see for the first time: "I don't think your dog is eight years old, it looks like thirteen or fourteen. Look, the skin on its face is sagging..."

That’s what I said.

Zhou Ye realized he had said the wrong thing and spoke faster: "Sorry, you can't see it."

Gulnazar smiled and said, "It's okay."

I could feel Zhou Ye's sincerity; it had been a long time since I had such a pure conversation with a stranger.

She laughed and said, "It really is only eight years old. Maybe it looks older than it is. It will retire when it turns twelve."

Actually, what I want to say is that guide dogs typically only live to be twelve years old.

But I felt that telling this might be too cruel to my naive younger sister.

"Retired at twelve?" Zhou Ye stroked the dog's head.

"Yes."

Gulnazar responded.

"My dog ​​will retire in four years."

Yes, four years.

Zhou Ye squatted down next to the guide dog and gently stroked its head.

My index finger unconsciously circled around the dog's ear.

A smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly looked up at the blind woman sitting on the wooden stool, a hopeful smile on his face:
"Then, will you be able to see again?"

Gulnazar was slightly stunned, her eyes widened behind her sunglasses, and she held her breath briefly.

Every time I think back on the malice I've encountered from strangers since my debut, I feel more and more that this world is far less wonderful than I imagined during my student days.

Sometimes, it's even disgusting enough to make you vomit.

So much so.

The high school girl's inexplicable kindness reminded her of herself during her student days.

The naive innocence of youth burns the heart with a feverish intensity.

Like someone who has walked too long in the desert, suddenly hit in the eye by a drop of rain.

Gulnazar pursed her lips and remained silent, trying to calm herself down, afraid that the other person would discover that her blindness was an act.

The nasolabial folds deepen with the pursing of the lips.

My mind is not at peace.

After a few seconds, she slowly spoke: "You just said you could, could see what?"

Zhou Ye smiled, revealing his canine teeth, and his eyes sparkled with a bright light: "I see this beautiful world."
