Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Before Zhang Ruonan could think further, Yang Chaoyue popped up in the group chat: [“MaiMai, Xiwei has added Ruonan, so there are even more people now. Ask her again.”]
MaiMai?

Zhang Ruonan immediately recalled the scene of her job interview.

Zhao Jinmai was also present.

"This person is Zhao Jinmai! Why is Zhao Jinmai in the company's internal group chat?"

Before Zhang Ruonan could think further...

Zhao Jinmai sent a message in the group:
[“Everyone check the group chat, I’m just saying, I really can’t stand it anymore. Xiao Jiang is inexplicably deducting Chao Yue’s salary. This lousy company can’t function without me. I’m going to join Xiao Jiang’s company. Anyone agree? Anyone disagree? Speak up.”]
"Isn't this ridiculous?" Zhang Ruonan frowned as she looked at her phone screen.

I have worked as a part-time model.

Learn some workplace rules.

Even if Zhao Jinmai is a child star and a well-known actress, she shouldn't say such things in the company's internal group chat, since she's not a member of the company.

Which boss could stand that?

By carefully considering the boss's thoughts, one can easily determine Jiang Yang's attitude.

Zhang Ruonan subconsciously typed out two words: Oppose.

It wasn't sent.

Waiting for Jiang Yang to make a statement.

Yang Chaoyue chimed in: [“I agree!”]
Zhang Ruonan was taken aback.

Then came Tian Xiwei: [“I agree!”]
Zhang Ruonan was stunned and withdrew her finger from the send button.

Liu Haochun also sent a message: [“I agree!”]
Zhang Ruonan couldn't understand it and was deeply shocked.

There were no more messages in the group, and I knew everyone was waiting for my response.

She straightened her back and tensed her shoulders.

I quickly scanned the group members' avatars and then glanced at the chat content.

I feel the pressure in the workplace.

I suddenly regretted joining this group.

You have to line up as soon as you come in.

Zhang Ruonan messaged Jiang Yang: [“Boss, how should I reply to MaiMai’s comment in the group chat?”]
Once you understand the boss's attitude, then reply to the message in the group chat.

Open Weibo.

I read the content Jiang Yang forwarded to me several times again.

New movies and TV series, new songs.

These are all new announcements.

Will I still be playing minor roles in movies and TV dramas?
Even if it is, it doesn't matter, as long as I can act and I have money.

Jiang Yang released a new song, "The Sea of ​​Stars," which I've been following closely.

I specifically downloaded several music apps on my phone.

Open the KuGou Music Popular Music Chart.

The number one song is Jay Chou's "Confession Balloon".

The second place went to JJ Lin's "A Song Not Written for Anyone".

The third place goes to Xue Zhiqian's "The Actor".

I remember checking the day before yesterday, Jiang Yang's song was at the very bottom of the charts, but now it's at number seventy-five.

The ranking is rising.

Within 24 hours, the video received 300,000 views and 500 comments.

The top comment is: "I've been listening to this on repeat for three days now, the lyric 'I wish I could become a star' is so touching!"
The second comment reads: "After hearing this, I immediately searched for Jiang Yang's variety shows. I didn't expect his acting skills to be so good in 'Go Fighting!'!"
Zhang Ruonan stared at the number 300,000 views.

I remember my first short video on Weibo, which took almost a month to film, but only got two hundred views.

A thought suddenly popped into my head.

If I could sing a song like that, would my parents think more highly of me?
Get out of bed.

Sit at the desk.

Zhang Ruonan opened NetEase Cloud Music and found that Jiang Yang's song had entered the top 100 of the rising charts a week ago, and was now at number 12. The number one song was Eason Chan's "Let Me Stay By Your Side."

The second is G.E.M.'s "Light Years Away".

The song ranked above Jiang Yang's is Li Ronghao's "Don't Say," which is rising even faster than Jiang Yang's new song.

Jiang Yang's song has been shared 23,000 times.

The number of favorites has reached 18,000.

However, the comments inside left Zhang Ruonan stunned.

The most popular comments are:
["2:17 AM, listening to this song on repeat for the thirty-seventh time. The lyrics say 'Don't stop when you're walking through a sea of ​​people,' but I've been stuck in the same place for three years."]
This comment has over 800 replies.

The first one is:

—[“Same feeling. I'm 24 and still working at a convenience store. My dreams have long been blown away by the winds to the sea.”]
Then:
—[Reply to the comment above: At least you guys had dreams; I wouldn't even dare to dream of them.]
Zhang Ruonan opened the drawer and flipped to the bottom of the drawer to find the rejection letter from last semester's modeling interview.

She spoke in a whisper, in a voice only she could hear:

"It turns out that what stopped us wasn't our steps, but the courage to dream. If I hadn't gone to Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue's interview that day..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid.

Because I never imagined what my life would be like if I missed that interview.

Suddenly I realized that my life might have changed.

Three years ago, the trembling self standing in front of the modeling audition mirror probably never imagined that I would now be grasping an even slimmer opportunity and embarking on an even more perilous path.

Let's continue reading other comments on NetEase Cloud Music.

The second most popular comment is:

["In 2012 he said he would take me to see the stars and the sea; in 2015 he got married and had a child, but I wasn't the bride."]
The next item is:

["Today my boss scolded me for writing a proposal that looked like a primary school student's homework. I was working overtime until the last subway train when I heard the phrase 'While there's still hope,' and I suddenly burst into tears."]
This is followed by:
[“My dad smashed my guitar, saying all musicians are hooligans. Just now, I played Jiang Yang’s song on my phone, and my dad said anyone who listens to this kind of song is a loser. In a family that favors sons over daughters, even turning up the volume on my headphones is considered rebellion. I only dare to breathe when I’m dreaming.”]
Zhang Ruonan stared at the comment for several seconds, then her breathing suddenly quickened.

I quickly swiped away and didn't look at it again.

It's just like what she once hid in her diary but never dared to write down.

Let's continue reading other comments on NetEase Cloud Music.

Gradually, I felt something was wrong: "Why do the comments on this app feel more and more depressing?"

Take a look at WeChat.

I haven't received a reply from Jiang Yang.

Then open QQ Music.

I saw Jiang Yang's song on the Meteor Index chart.

Many of the songs on the list are currently trending.

The eighth place goes to TFBOYS' "Imperfect Child".

Fourteenth place goes to Zhang Bicheng's cover of Wang Sulong's song, "Years".

The top comment is:

"I immediately bought a Youku membership to watch 'Go Fighting!' just for the episode with Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue!"
Then came: ["Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue both retweeted Zhang Ruonan's Weibo post today. Zhang Ruonan will also be singing songs written by Jiang Yang in the future. I just came back from Zhang Ruonan's Weibo post. She's a very sweet-looking girl. I suggest that Jiang Yang and Zhang Ruonan sing a duet for the next song."]
Next came: ["Is Jiang Yang in love? These lyrics are so sweet they're giving me a toothache."]
I saw my name mentioned in the popular comments.

Zhang Ruonan's pupils contracted, she took a screenshot and saved it, but then smiled bitterly.

I don't even have the qualifications to sing in a choir right now.

I went out onto the balcony and tried singing a song by Jiang Yang, then recorded it.

I glanced back at my roommates and breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that no one had noticed I was recording a song.

Play it once for yourself.

The song started a beat late, and even when the accompaniment played through the crowd, she was still singing the last line.

He cracks his voice as soon as he sings the chorus, like a landlubber being choked.

After listening to the whole thing, Zhang Ruonan pinched her palm with her fingers.

I realized I was worse than I thought.

I suddenly remembered my mother's words: "If you don't have a golden voice, don't embarrass yourself." (End of Chapter)
