Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"The drama 'A Little Reunion' starring Jiang Yang and Chao Yue has been released!"

For some reason, even though she wasn't in the show, Tian Xiwei's heart was pounding like she'd stolen something, but she didn't dare tell anyone.

Click into the trending topics.

Tian Xiwei saw a pinned Weibo post.

It's a promotional poster posted by the official account of the TV series "A Little Reunion".

There are Huang Lei's, Hai Qing's, Zhang Zifeng's, Mai Mai's...

When I suddenly saw Jiang Yang's poster, I tapped the screen several times with my thumb but couldn't open it.

I then realized that my fingers were sweaty.

Wipe it clean and open Jiang Yang and Chao Yue's official posters.

In the scene, Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue are standing in the classroom corridor, with the sunlight shining obliquely.

The Weibo post reads: "Tonight at 8 PM, LeTV, Tencent & Zhejiang TV, and Beijing TV will broadcast simultaneously."

Tian Xi held her breath, her collarbone rising and falling noticeably with each swallow, and the collar of her school uniform was creased from being gripped. She then opened the comments section.

The first few top comments did not discuss Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue.

I saw this in the fourth comment: [“Jiang Yang looks amazing in his school uniform! He's totally the school heartthrob I have a crush on!”]
The content of the real-time discussion.

Comments scrolling by:

"Watching the trailer, Yang Chaoyue's portrayal of the depressed girl looks so sad."
"Jiang Yang doesn't fit Chen Xiaoyu's character at all. What kind of junior high school student can grow to 1.8 meters tall?"
I clicked on the trending topics again.

Slide them down one by one.

Several of the top 50 trending topics were related to the TV series "A Little Reunion".

Article 20 concerns Jiangyang:
#Extra becomes lead actor, Jiang Yang has connections#.

Article 49 concerns Yang Chaoyue:
#Yang Chaoyue, a factory worker who can act?#
Find the trailer on the official account.

A scene featuring Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue:
Yang Chaoyue plays a depressed teenage girl standing on the edge of a rooftop. Jiang Yang grabs her wrist and says, "What's the point of jumping? You'd better live and make them regret it!"

Tears suddenly rolled down Yang Chaoyue's cheeks: "But they will never regret it."

There are already over nine hundred top comments below.

The first point is: ["Although Yang Chaoyue's lines are somewhat awkward, her crying scenes are relatable."]
The second item is: [“Jiang Yang was yelling so hard his veins were bulging; I suggest checking if he really has a friend with depression.”]
Following this trailer is a behind-the-scenes clip specially released by the production team.

Yang Chaoyue had to do more than twenty takes before he finally finished this rooftop scene.

After it was over, she hid in the prop room and cried her heart out.

The top-rated comment below reads: "[Those who criticize Yang Chaoyue should look at the photos of her work ID from the textile factory; you can find them online. This girl has a story to tell.]"
Next up is a trailer showing Zhao Jinmai and Yang Chaoyue interacting.

There are only ten seconds left.

Yang Chaoyue plays a girl with depression who gets splashed with water by her classmates. Zhao Jinmai rushes in and hands her a towel: "Why are they bullying you?"

Yang Chaoyue bent down and wrung out his damp school uniform sleeves, then suddenly laughed: "Because I'm different from them."

Her smile was broken and disjointed.

The top-rated comment below is:
[“Can Yang Chaoyue even deliver her lines? It sounds like she has water in her mouth, it's completely incomprehensible. How could they let a factory girl act? She's so unprofessional.”]
The next one is:

[“Yang Chaoyue’s performance was absolutely hilarious! So fragile yet stubborn, her factory worker background actually made her portrayal feel incredibly real!”]
There are also comments about Zhao Jinmai:

"Mai Mai's protective gaze is so touching; it doesn't seem like acting."
When she sees negative comments, Tian Xiwei will pinch the web between her thumb and forefinger with her fingernails.

The knives you type on a keyboard can still stab bloody holes even through a network cable.

I found the trailer showing Jiang Yang and Zhao Jinmai interacting.

Click to open.

It was filmed in the classroom corridor.

It is divided into two acts.

In the first scene, Jiang Yang corners Zhao Jinmai in front of a locker, raising an eyebrow in a provocative manner: "Your parents are forcing you to go to tutoring classes again? Aren't you a coward?" Zhao Jinmai shoves him away abruptly, her eyes reddening as she fights back tears: "None of your business! What do rich kids know!"

The screen turned,
This leads into Act Two.

The two sat side by side on the rooftop. Zhao Jinmai hugged her knees and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to go abroad."

Jiang Yang suddenly stood up, reaching out to her against the backlight, his youthful spirit tinged with loneliness: "Then we won't go! I'll take you to skip class!"

Tian Xiwei noticed that the number of comments below was twice as many as the number of interactions between Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue.

That's understandable.

After all, Zhao Jinmai was already a child star.

The most upvoted comment was: "Jiang Yang perfectly captured Zhang Xiaoyu's roguishness and vulnerability; the scene where he reaches out on the rooftop almost made me cry."
The following is:
[“Zhao Jinmai’s red-rimmed eyes look so real; it’s like seeing myself being driven crazy by my parents.”]
There are negative comments below.

Some say Jiang Yang's acting is like that of a petty thug, some say Zhao Jinmai can only stare blankly, and some say the child star filter has been shattered.

Tian Xiwei stared in disbelief.

Continue browsing to see if there are any more trailers related to Jiang Yang.

One was found.

Click play.

In the video, Jiang Yang is arguing with his father in the car.

The father slammed his hand on the steering wheel: "You must go abroad. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Jiang Yang suddenly sneered, his voice trembling as he forced himself not to cry: "For my own good? You didn't even come back for my mother's death anniversary!"

This immediately leads into the second act.

The father stuffed a large bag of White Rabbit milk candy into Jiang Yang's suitcase; it was the favorite of Jiang Yang's deceased mother in the drama.

Jiang Yang was stunned, and secretly wiped away tears as he turned away.

I watched one promotional video after another about a short separation.

As she watched, Tian Xiwei ran her fingertips along the cuff of her school uniform and murmured, "So, this is what Jiang Yang looks like in the play."

I've seen Jiang Yang act before.

It's a scene from the variety show "Go Fighting!" where an extra plays the role of a noodle stall owner.

These trailers show more of Jiang Yang's performance.

In particular, the close-up of Jiang Yang roaring with bulging veins overlaps with his lazy personality in real life.

"He's usually too lazy to even pick up his takeout, so how come when he acts, even the trembling of his fingers looks real?" Even though I knew Jiang Yang was a good actor, I was still quite shocked when the footage was edited, dubbed, and played with background music.

Another trending topic has emerged, climbing into the top 50.

#Yang Chaoyue comes from a factory background#
It's highly likely that the trending topics were created by the production team, taking advantage of every possible opportunity to exploit the actors.

Tian Xiwei hesitated to open it.

Because I know there will definitely be a lot of negative comments about Yang Chaoyue's low social status.

I felt uneasy.

If one day, I could be like Jiang Yang, playing the lead role in a film or television drama.

Will I also receive a lot of negative comments and insults online?

I wonder what unpredictable things I'll face after embarking on this acting career.

I'm afraid of being scolded, but I'm even more afraid of not even having the right to be scolded.

Being criticized means that someone is watching, which is better than being invisible for the rest of your life.

Tian Xi's eyes flickered as she watched her phone screen gradually dim from lack of use, finally turning off and revealing her blurry face. She murmured:

"If I'm destined to be smeared in the future, then I'll fight in a white dress." (End of Chapter)
