Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Jiang Yang received Yang Chaoyue's message just as he arrived at the airport parking lot.

Open the trunk.

In the corner was a pair of worn-out dance shoes worn by Liu Haochun.

Take one, edit the text and send a message to Yang Chaoyue: ["You're a Sailor Moon in the Sailor Moon 4 group, huh? Kick the boss out, and don't cover your butt when you get beaten up later."]
Hesitate for a second.

It wasn't sent.

She feared that Yang Chaoyue would see this message and bring her father over to suppress her.

The phone vibrates.

I received another message from Yang Chaoyue: ["Brother Yang, how was the recording of Calories that I sent you? Give me some praise."]
Jiang Yang replied: [“You’re amazing.”]
Yang Chaoyue sent a message: [“Say you love me.”]
Jiang Yang replied: ["Love me."]
Yang Chaoyue sent a message: [“It means ‘I love you,’ not just typing the words ‘I love you.’”]
Jiang Yang typed back: ["Love you, love you, you're amazing, you're so aloof, everyone loves you! Hao Chun and I are waiting for you at the airport, we've prepared a gift for you."]
The message is sent.

Jiang Yang shook the dance shoes in his hand, making a slapping sound on his palm.

It would have been louder if it had hit my butt.

Yang Chaoyue saw the message from Jiang Yang and typed: "[What gift?]"
Jiang Yang replied: ["I even got you a gig."]
"How much is the announcement worth?"
[“Money, money, money, all he cares about is money. He even got this job for Xiwei, and all Xiwei cares about is the content of the job.”]
Yang Chaoyue sent another message: [“Brother Yang, how much is the fee for the announcement?”]
An announcement rang out in the waiting area: "Passengers traveling to Beiping on flight CA1838, please note that boarding is now beginning."

It's my flight.

Passengers lined up at the boarding gate one after another.

Ground staff in uniforms, wearing headsets, checked boarding passes and ID cards.

We entered the cabin.

Go and sit down in your window seat.

Take out your phone.

Upon seeing the message from Jiang Yang: [“Ten thousand for the announcement fee.”]
This is followed by a document.

The title is "Starry Sky and the Sea MV, Female Supporting Role Script".

I haven't looked at the initial script in detail because it's not finalized and can be changed at any time.

The location is Nan'ao Island, near Shantou.

The production company is Yang Ge's company.

Yang Chaoyue sent a message: [“Brother Yang, I want to play the female lead!”]
Jiang Yang sent a message: ["Hao Chun has been cast as the female lead; she needs to have very strong dance skills."]
"I'm also very good at dancing; I practice every day..."
Yang Chaoyue didn't have time to send the message.

Jiang Yang sent a message: ["Hao Chun didn't get paid."]
Yang Chaoyue was slightly taken aback.

Delete the line you just typed and edit it again: ["With my lousy dancing skills, what right do I have to be the female lead?"]
"Poor Teacher Haochun."

Yang Chaoyue took another closer look at the script title.

The vast universe.

Suddenly I realized that this was originally a song that Yang Ge wrote for Liu Haochun.

She edited the text: [“Yang-ge, I will definitely do my best to play the supporting role well for Hao-chun. Actually, money doesn’t matter.”]
Jiang Yang replied: [“Then you shouldn’t ask for payment.”]
Yang Chaoyue typed: ["I was just kidding."]
After talking with Jiang Yang.

He looked up.

The flight attendant smiled and directed passengers to their seats at the cabin door.

Flight attendants were also helping the hotel staff with their luggage.

I remember the first time I flew with Yang Ge last year, I was both excited and nervous.

I'm gradually getting used to it.

take off.

Put your phone into airplane mode.

I glanced at the audio file of "Calories" that I sent to Jiang Yang this morning when I woke up.

This song was given to Liu Haochun by himself.

Thinking back to last year, in the dance studio, Liu Haochun taught me to dance again and again.

What impressed me most was the first day I met Haochun.

Even after practicing until late at night, I still couldn't move my hands and feet in unison.

Hao Chun pressed down on his knees to correct his posture, his fingertips pressing so hard they left bruises. At that moment, I felt that Teacher Hao Chun was too strict. I got up and danced to the beat, but Hao Chun immediately cushioned my fall.

Even back in her hometown of Yancheng, Liu Haochun made sure to record dance practice videos every day and send them over for testing.

If he didn't practice well, Liu Haochun would video call him and patiently teach him again and again.

I opened my phone's photo album.

There is a video chat log between Haochun and the video call.

That night, after dance practice, I chatted with Haochun and sang "Calories" to him.

The next day, I watched the recorded video again, intending to listen to Hao Chun's guidance on my dance practice again, but I found out at the end that...

When I sang "Calorie," Haochun sang along quietly.

Suddenly I realized that Hao Chun was actually very reluctant to part with this song.

But she willingly gave it to herself.

"Haochun is always like this. Even though he wants it so much, he pretends to be indifferent and gives it to me."

This applies to dancing, and it applies to singing.

Even Brother Lianyang's praise was like that.

You could sense Hao Chun's envy in the focused look in his eyes whenever Hao Chun taught him to dance.

I envy myself for being able to be willful and even fail when I'm with Yang Ge.

But why.

Hao Chun never stood up for her.

Despite possessing superior talent in every aspect, she gave the best to me.

Yang Chaoyue murmured, "If Haochun continues like this in the future, I'll try to help her fight for it if I have the chance."

I remember the time I fell down when I first started practicing dance.

"After all, Hao Chun was the first girl who immediately cushioned my fall when she saw me fall."

Waiting for the plane to land in Beiping.

The phone signal has been restored.

Yang Chaoyue clicked on the post Liu Haochun made on WeChat Moments during the Chinese New Year.

My gaze lingers on the last line: "The snow at the foot of Changbai Mountain is sweet, but my sweat is salty."

Yang Chaoyue commented below: ["Haochun, your sweat is salty, but your brilliance is sweet. I promise, your efforts will never be buried. One day, I will be able to stand up for you."]
Open QQ's private photo album.

I found a photo that I saved two years ago.

It's a missing person notice; it's for Sister Yan's younger sister.

The photos were being passed around in the group chat, and the image quality and resolution were already very low.

The chiffon dress that Sister Yan wore for her job interview is now too worn out to wear, but she didn't throw it away. She kept it in her closet in her boudoir in her hometown of Yancheng and has always treasured it.

It was placed next to that patchwork Versace coat.

It's been a long time since I last contacted Sister Yan. We exchanged New Year's greetings via text message during the Spring Festival, but haven't spoken since.

Judging from Sister Yan's updates, she's still at that textile factory in Shanghai.

We've long since run out of things to talk about.

But these missing person notices have been kept, waiting for an opportunity.

It's been almost ten years. I wonder what's happening to Sister Yan's younger sister now. If she's still alive, she must look completely different from the childhood photo in the missing person notice.

We've never met.

I will not forget.

There has to be someone to remember it, otherwise it's not truly gone.

"When I can stand taller, I will make sure everyone sees these missing person notices." (End of Chapter)
