Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"I'm from another school, do you want some chocolate?"

Zhou Ye took out a Dove chocolate bar from his pocket.

Zhuang Dafei took it, tore open the packaging, and put it in her mouth: "Thank you, but weren't you stopped by security when you came in?"

“I told the security guard that I was Jiang Yang’s friend, and the guard let me in. Jiang Yang had instructed the school leaders and the security guard to do the same.”

"Jiang Yang?"

I heard Jiang Yang's name.

Zhuang Dafei looked up and glanced at Jiang Yang, who was about to speak on the stage.

She understood and became interested: "It's okay, just sit here with me. If any teacher comes to supervise, I'll help you deal with it. What's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Ye."

"My name is Zhuang Dafei. I have seen Jiang Yang act in 'A Little Reunion' and I have also heard Jiang Yang sing. He sings very well and writes very good lyrics. I have some questions to ask him in a little while."

"Jiang Yang has a new song coming out soon."

"He has a new song?"

“It was written by Jiang Yang for Yang Chaoyue, an artist in his company,” Zhou Ye replied.

Zhuang Dafei took out her phone and searched for the cast of "A Little Reunion". She saw Yang Chaoyue's name and realized he was a supporting actor.

Open the search bar for Yang Chaoyue.

Zhou Ye saw that the other party's Weibo name was: Zhuang Dafei needs to work hard.

I was stunned for a second when I saw the number of followers.

More than 30,000 followers!
There are more than those who leap forward.

Do all students at Qinghua High School have so many Weibo followers?

He glanced at the notebook on the other person's lap, which had her name written on it, and realized that the girl sitting next to him was named Zhuang Dafei.

While Zhuang Dafei was searching for Yang Chaoyue.

Zhou Ye searched for Zhuang Dafei out of curiosity.

She filmed commercials during kindergarten, has loved music since childhood, joined a children's choir, and learned instruments such as violin, cello, and piano.

She speaks fluent English because she has been studying at an international school and went to Canada alone for an exchange program in fifth grade.

He starred in the movie "The Old Man's Wish" at the age of ten, playing the role of young Zhou Shuang.

Zhou Ye continued, "The song is called Calories, and it seems to tell the story of a girl who got stuck in the road."

"What?"

Zhuang Dafei was slightly stunned, unable to understand what Zhou Ye was saying.

I chatted briefly with Zhou Ye about singing and discovered that he didn't know anything about sheet music, musical scales, or chords—he was a complete novice: "Do you have the lyrics to Jiang Yang's song?"

"There are no lyrics, but there is a line that Yang Chaoyue sang in a voice message he sent me."

Can I hear it?

"OK."

Zhou Ye opened the chat box with Yang Chaoyue.

She opened her chat history with Yang Chaoyue from a few days ago, handed her phone to Zhuang Dafei, and pointed to a two-second voice message: "This is it."

Zhuang Dafei took the phone and looked up.

On stage, Zhao Jinmai had already finished speaking.

It was Jiang Yang's turn to take the stage.

Yang Chaoyue isn't an actor, but she can sing too?

Zhuang Dafei held Zhou Ye's phone close to her ear and tapped Yang Chaoyue's voice message.

moment.

In the quiet lecture hall, Yang Chaoyue's booming voice, amplified from his phone's speaker, blared: "Burn my calories!!!"

Zhuang Dafei shuddered, her ears ringing.

Zhou Ye's heart skipped a beat.

He instantly slid down to his knees, using the back of the seat in front of him to cover himself.

Jiang Yang on the stage looked up at the audience.

Zhao Jinmai, who had just returned to her seat, used the bouquet of lilies on the table to cover her phone, preparing to secretly play Candy Crush.

He suddenly looked up at the audience.

Then, in the [Battle of the Girls 4] group, a message was sent: ["@Yang Chaoyue, Chaoyue, are you in the auditorium of Qinghua High School?"]
Yang Chaoyue replied: [“I was beating a dog back in my hometown, and this bastard came back covered in cow dung. Why can't a dog change its nature of eating shit?”]
Zhao Jinmai sent a message: [“But why do I hear you yelling ‘Calories’ here?”]
Yang Chaoyue replied: [“Don’t kid me, I haven’t even released the song yet. Hurry up and pay me back the money I just calculated for you. You still owe me nine yuan and ninety cents.”]
Zhao Jinmai pretended not to see and continued playing Candy Crush.

The sound was coming from the back of the auditorium.

The students in the front row all looked back.

The host announced the rules again.

Zhou Ye squatted down again, using the back of the seat to cover himself, and said to Zhuang Dafei, who was in the same position next to him, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to turn down the volume on my phone."

Zhuang Dafei covered her ears and tilted her head to look at Zhou Ye: "Wait a minute, Yang Chaoyue's singing made me deaf. I need to catch my breath."

I recall hearing Yang Chaoyue sing that line just now.

Is this a song?
There wasn't even a melody. I chatted quietly with Zhou Ye for a few minutes.

Realizing that no one was paying attention to them, the two sat down again.

Zhuang Dafei recalled the lyrics that Yang Chaoyue had just sung.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this song, Calories, is definitely not, as Zhou Ye said, a song about a girl getting stuck in the road.

Calories is a transliterated word.

It is a unit of energy.

Judging from the full phrase 'burn my calories,' this song should be related to weight loss.

I haven't heard a similar song yet.

Zhuang Dafei recalled that she had gained weight for a while when school started last summer, and it was difficult for her to lose it.

Opening that diary entry, it read:

[August 10, 2015, heavy rain.]

I weighed myself today and I've gained three pounds.

I look like a steamed bun in the mirror. If I get any fatter, my clothes might be too tight around the waist when school starts.

My mom just came to my room and gave me the new violin sheet music she bought.

She didn't mention my weight, but when her eyes swept over my stomach, I immediately gasped.

At lunchtime, the housekeeper made braised pork as usual.

As I counted the grains of rice as I ate, my dad suddenly smiled at me:
"Artists should maintain their dignity as artists."

He was referring to my rounder chin in the video my teacher posted last week during my performance.

During afternoon piano practice, the teacher sighed, "Your shoulders are too stiff, and the tone is dull."

But I didn't dare say it was because my hands were shaking from hunger.

I secretly searched for ways to lose 10 pounds in a week last night and saw a comment:
"I suggest you don't become a human, become an immortal."

It's so easy to gain weight.

Losing weight is so hard!
There was a photo of a ballerina cut out of a magazine pasted on the back, with the caption: How can they be beautiful and not hungry at the same time?
Zhuang Dafei realized something.

If the song Jiang Yang wrote for Yang Chaoyue was indeed a weight-loss song.

Does this mean that Jiang Yang was overweight before?
Suddenly I really want to see what Jiang Yang used to look like.

Look up.

Jiang Yang was already standing on the stage and said a few words.

He paused, tapping the microphone lightly with his fingers, his voice gentle yet penetrating: "...The character I played in 'A Little Reunion' was Zhang Xiaoyu, a rebellious teenager whose parents divorced early and whose father remarried to a young woman named Tina. In the drama, there's a line from Zhang Xiaoyu that I've remembered for a long time: 'My dad always says I'm immature, but he never thinks about why I use immaturity to get his attention.'"

The audience suddenly fell silent.

Zhuang Dafei put away her diary and looked at Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang continued, "When filming that scene, I remembered when I was caught skipping class in junior high school. My dad rushed to the school, and I thought he was going to beat me. But he took out a wad of money and stuffed it into the homeroom teacher's hand, saying, 'I'm sorry for the trouble you've caused.' That's when I realized that some parents don't not love their children, they just don't know how to love them."

Pause for a few seconds.

Jiang Yang suddenly laughed and said, "When I got home, my dad still beat me up. He said that if he didn't beat me, I was afraid I would be taller than him and he wouldn't be able to beat me."

The audience burst into laughter.

The big screen switched to a clip from the show.

The content shows Zhang Xiaoyu staring blankly at a game console in his empty mansion.

Jiang Yang said in a gentle tone: "The character I play, Zhang Xiaoyu, has everything at home, except for the option of eating with his family."

There's a scene where he secretly throws away the bento box his young stepmother Tina made, but the script doesn't actually explain why.

Later, I discussed it with the director and added a line: "I'm afraid if I get used to the food, one day no one will make it anymore."

"What made me most upset was filming the hospital scene. Zhang Xiaoyu had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius, and when he woke up, he found Tina asleep by his bedside. His first reaction was to gently drape his coat over her, and then immediately pull his hand back, pretending to still be angry."

Jiang Yang lowered his voice: "This awkward gentleness is very similar to how I am when I'm arguing with my parents."

"Yesterday on Weibo, a viewer sent me a private message asking if Zhang Xiaoyu reconciled with his father in the end. I'd like to ask the artistic director and lead actor of this play about that..."

Jiang Yang suddenly turned to Huang Lei and asked, "Teacher Huang, can I give you a spoiler for this part?"

Amidst laughter from the audience, Huang Lei kept waving his hands.

Jiang Yang smiled at the students below the stage and said, "Let me put it another way. Every Zhang Xiaoyu has an unspeakable apology to his father in his heart, just like every Zhang Xiaoyu's father has an unsent message on his phone: 'Dad loves you.'"

That concludes the explanation.

The audience erupted in applause.

Jiang Yang returned to his seat and sent a message in the [Beautiful Girl Battle 4] group: ["Everyone, meet in Beiping tomorrow. The launch press conference for 'Fighter of the Destiny' is about to begin. Please reply if you receive this."]
