Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"Did I curse you?" Zhao Lushi glared at Huang Lei. "I'm really getting impatient with all this noise. Stop nagging, or I'll curse you too."

"Mind your manners, I'm a teacher!"

"I'm a very civilized person, I'm your mother!"

Huang Lei puffed out his cheeks, unwilling to argue with Zhao Lushi any further.

That's too cheap.

What should have been a proper press conference turned into a one-man fan meeting for Lu Han.

When I was young and at the height of my popularity, my fans weren't this crazy.

She is a well-known actor and has a certain status wherever she goes.

These fans actually dared to insult me ​​without warning.

Especially the little girl next to me, who kept using vulgar language, made me realize just how low the quality of Lu Han's fans was.

If it weren't for Duoduo, Jiang Yang wouldn't have come even if he had lost the VIP ticket he gave him.

It's too late to get to the inner area now.

They can't even get out.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Duoduo: "Daddy, did you get a picture of Lu Han?"
Huang Lei typed back: ["Dad will definitely get Lu Han's autograph for you, and he'll even have Lu Han record a video for you. When Lu Han sees Dad, he'll still have to call him 'teacher'."]
Zhao Lushi glanced at Huang Lei's phone screen.

She was slightly taken aback when she saw the chat between Huang Lei and her daughter.

Open WeChat and start your chat with your dad.

An hour ago, I sent a short video, which showed the crowd of Lu Han's fans around me.

And a passage of text: [“Dad, I went to Beijing to audition for a supporting role in a music video. Look, this is the press conference for the start of filming of ‘Fighter of the Destiny.’ My friend is an actress in this drama. This place is full of Lu Han’s fans. I spent 50,000 yuan to buy this VIP seat.”]
Then there was a message sent fifty minutes ago: [“Dad, have you eaten?”]
Posted 30 minutes ago: [“You need to eat breakfast and take care of yourself.”]
And a post from ten minutes ago: [“Dad, what are you doing?”]
A minute ago, I sent a cute cat emoji.

I haven't received a reply from my father.

My phone vibrated—I received it!
Six words: ["In a meeting, I'll talk to you later."]
Immediately following was a notification that 50,000 yuan had been transferred.

Zhao Lushi didn't accept money, and edited the text: ["It's always 'we'll talk later,' and 'one night' means several days."]
No reply received.

Zhao Lushi typed again: [“Dad, I’m not asking you for money. Please read my message again. I want to be an actress.”]
Still no reply.

Zhao Lushi tilted her head to look at the chat content on Huang Lei's phone, her tone softening: "Teacher Huang, are you asking Lu Han for an autograph on behalf of your daughter?"

"So you can speak normally after all," Huang Lei said irritably.

“Yang Chaoyue inside is my friend, and I also know her boss Jiang Yang. I can help you get Lu Han’s autograph for your daughter.”

"Do you know Chao Yue and Jiang Yang?"

Huang Lei then put aside past grievances and looked Zhao Lushi up and down properly.

Chatted for a while.

Understand the relationship between Zhao Lushi, Yang Chaoyue, and Jiang Yang.

We were online friends first, then met in person and got to know each other.

Huang Lei was deeply shocked to see Zhao Lushi responding to the negative comments on Yang Chaoyue's Weibo.

"Have you been with your daughter the whole time?" Zhao Lushi asked.

"Of course! All the photos of Duoduo when she was little were taken by me."

"Can you show it to me?"

"Sure," Huang Lei said with a smile.

Huang Lei opened the saved photo album.

Pick out a few points from the densely packed photos.

The first picture was taken in 2008. Huang Yici is sitting on the sofa crying loudly and raising her hand to hit Huang Lei, while Huang Lei is smiling at the camera.

The caption for the photo is: Duoduo's first tantrum.

Huang Lei laughed and said, "Her mother always says I spoil the child, but I think that crying and making a fuss is what makes a child."

Slide the photo.

The next picture was taken in the kitchen.

Huang Lei, wearing an apron, was cooking noodles in the kitchen. Duo Duo stood on tiptoe to crack an egg into the pot, and half of the eggshell fell in.

Huang Lei recalled his feelings at the time: "The bowl of noodles my daughter cooked was really awful, but I forced myself to finish it."

The third photo is of Huang Yici's homework book, on which is drawn an adult with a slightly protruding belly, wearing glasses, which is Huang Yici's image of her father.

A line of text was written next to it: "Dad, don't overwork yourself while acting."

Huang Lei framed the paper and placed it in the most conspicuous position on his desk at Beijing Film Academy.

He laughed and said, "This was drawn by my daughter when she was seven years old. She was only seven and she already knew how to care for others..."

Just saying.

Huang Lei suddenly stopped talking.

Noticing that Zhao Lushi's eyes were already red, and that she was slightly lowering her head with soft sobs, he asked, "Ruth, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just really envy your daughter."

Zhao Lushi blinked, tears streaming down her face: "You are a good father."

Hear the words.

Huang Lei understood the situation and comforted her, "I'm sorry, Ruth, I didn't know your father had passed away."

"Who the hell are you calling a dead father?!"

Zhao Lushi quickly turned her head and glared at Huang Lei, tears streaming down her face, her hands trembling with anger.

She grabbed her phone and shoved it in front of Huang Lei: "See? My dad transferred money to me just ten minutes ago. He's..."

Zhao Lushi's voice choked up slightly: "I'm just too busy!"

I got cursed at again.

Huang Lei, losing face, said in a deep voice, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. If you're my student, you can forget about attending my class!"

"If I were your student, I would definitely skip your classes!"

Music suddenly started playing on the stage.

It's a single that Lu Han released before, "Back to 20".

The fans went wild.

The music gradually faded out.

The host, dressed in a suit and tie, strode onto the stage with a bright smile: "Dear audience members..."

The audience erupted in screams.

The host, microphone in hand, walked to the center of the stage: "Let me hear your voices, whose show is it today!"

Fans waved light boards wildly, chanting "Lu Han! Lu Han!"

"Wrong! Today is the day for 'Fighter of the Destiny'! But I know who you all came for."

The large screen suddenly switched to a shot of Lu Han in the background.

The fans screamed instantly.

Backstage.

The photographer's lens focused on Lu Han.

He checked his makeup and said to Jiang Yang beside him in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, thank you for today."

"You're too kind. You paid for the song."

Jiang Yang smiled at the three girls behind him who had finished their makeup and styling.

Yang Chaoyue dyed her pigtails a gradient pinkish-purple.

She had tiny, shimmering LED stars clipped to the ends of her hair, and rhinestone teardrops under her eyes.

Tian Xiwei and Liu Haochun were wearing cropped T-shirts, high-waisted wide-leg pants, and oversized plaid shirts tied around their waists, ready to swing at any moment.

"If it weren't for your connections, my three artists wouldn't have had such a high level of exposure in a short time."

The three girls thanked Lu Han profusely.

Lu Han bowed slightly in response and touched Jiang Yang's shoulder: "Brother Jiang, you know what I mean. I'm not just talking about this song, but also that this is the first time Xiao Tong and I have met in public as each other."

He lowered his head to adjust his cuffs, his voice very soft: "I'm actually quite scared. I'm scared that if we go public, I won't be able to protect her. I'm scared that fans will accuse her of trying to ride on his coattails. I'm even more scared that I'm not manly enough."

“What are you saying? You’re very manly,” Jiang Yang replied.

Jiang Yang's phone vibrated.

Jiang Yang received a message from Zhou Ye: "[Jiang Yang, the results for the second round of auditions at the Beijing Film Academy are out, and I passed! I ranked 103rd. What about you? How did you do?]"
They chatted for a few minutes. Lu Han put his hand on Jiang Yang's shoulder and said, "You helped me meet Xiao Tong so openly today, and suddenly it doesn't seem so difficult after all."

Look back.

My gaze passed over the three girls behind me and landed on Guan Xiaotong sitting in a folding chair inside.

Guan Xiaotong pretended to accompany Zhang Ruonan during an interview.

Her attention was entirely on her boyfriend who was about to go on stage, but she didn't dare to turn her head to look.

Thinking back to when I first came in, I was acting as Jiang Yang's friend, with my arm around his shoulder, watching Jiang Yang introduce me to Lu Han, and then watching Jiang Yang introduce Lu Han to me. It all seemed so funny.

She wanted to see her boyfriend go on stage, but she didn't dare.

Suddenly, Jiang Yang called out, "Xiao Tong, come here for a second, do me a favor."

Guan Xiaotong was slightly taken aback.

He immediately realized what was happening, got up, and walked over.

Seeing Jiang Yang hand her his phone, she said, "The internet is really slow right now. Could you please check my Beijing Film Academy entrance exam results and send them to Zhou Ye? I'm about to go on stage."

"Okay, sure." Guan Xiaotong took the phone and said softly, "Thank you, really."

She knew it was an excuse Jiang Yang had made up for her and Lu Han.

To allow myself to see Lu Han take the stage up close.

From this vantage point, you can clearly hear the screams of fans outside.

The host warms up the audience:

"The phenomenal fantasy masterpiece that swept the entire internet is finally going to be adapted for the screen. It is a story about defying fate. The young Chen Changsheng was born with a flawed destiny, but he insisted on fighting against fate. Just like us today, who doesn't fall down while gritting their teeth and moving forward!"

The audience applauded spontaneously.

The atmosphere heated up.

After introducing the production company and the people who needed to be thanked, the host began to introduce Lu Han: "He is the king on the stage and the light in the hearts of millions."

The fans in the audience immediately screamed: "Lu Han! Lu Han!"

The host continued, "But today, he's going to bring you a different song."

The large screen suddenly went dark.

An animation of roses and thorns intertwining appears.

"This song is about perseverance, about courage, and about all those who are not favored and are out of step with the times."

The host paused for a second, then raised his voice: "Welcome Lu Han, bringing you his brand new single, 'Rose Boy'!"

Lu Han pressed his fist against Jiang Yang's face, his eyes resolute: "Brother Jiang, I'll go up first. I can't say for sure that this song will be a hit, but I guarantee that after today, when everyone mentions 'Rose Boy,' the first thing they'll think of is that it was written by Jiang Yang and sung by Lu Han. Go for it, Brother Jiang!"

"Go, Lu Ge!"

Jiang Yang reached out and bumped fists with Jiang Yang.

Lu Han strode onto the stage, his back view swallowed up by screams.

He wore a black studded suit, held a microphone stand, and looked tenderly at the fans in the audience: "Thank you, thank you all."

I chatted with my fans.

The fans' screams subsided slightly.

"Jiang Yang, are you going on stage soon?" Tian Xiwei raised her hand and poked Jiang Yang in front of her.

"Yes, it'll be soon," Jiang Yang said with a smile as he turned around.

"You...you, um, you, you, don't be nervous," Tian Xi stammered, glancing at the cameras from Sina, Tencent, Youku, and Sohu outside.

Yang Chaoyue and Liu Haochun burst out laughing.

"What are you two laughing at!"

Tian Xiwei tilted her head and glared at them.

I can understand why Yang Chaoyue is laughing at himself, after all, Chaoyue has seen such big scenes before.

"Haochun, why are you making fun of me? You've never acted before."

“I’ve been on TV, and I’ve won many provincial dance competition awards. What about you?” Liu Haochun asked, arms crossed, chin slightly raised, head bobbing.

"me."

Tian Xi slapped her stuttering mouth hard and took a deep breath: "I've never won a provincial competition, and I've never been on TV before, but my sister watches my live streams! My parents watch them too."

Liu Haochun was slightly taken aback.

He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Yang Chaoyue continued:
“My dad might watch it too, but I don’t know if he can find the live stream link on his phone.”

Liu Haochun was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I've also told my parents, and they... will probably watch it."

Done.

Her throat bobbed, and she pursed her lips.

I tried hard to suppress my sobs.

Suddenly I felt a warmth in my palm.

Only then did he realize that Jiang Yang had come to his side, was holding his hand, and whispered:
"Haochun, your parents may not know how to search for the live stream link, but one day they will hear your name from other people's mouths. At that time, they will proudly say, 'Liu Haochun, that's my daughter!'"

Liu Haochun nodded vigorously and smiled.

As he smiled, the corners of his mouth turned down.

She let out a sob, afraid the camera would capture her, grabbed Jiang Yang's collar, and buried her face in his chest.

Jiang Yang put his arm around Liu Haochun's waist and gently stroked Liu Haochun's back with his other hand: "Cry, it's okay, the camera won't be on you."

Lu Han chatted with fans on stage.

The host, standing on the side of the stage, glanced backstage and suddenly froze, spotting Jiang Yang with his arm around Liu Haochun.

Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei are shielding the two of them from the camera.

I recall the little secret that Gulnazar told me when we were going over the process earlier.

Jiang Yang and Guan Xiaotong were talking.

The host's gaze shifted back and forth between Jiang Yang and Guan Xiaotong.

"No way, Lu Han's good brother is hugging a female artist from his company, and he doesn't even hide it from his girlfriend Guan Xiaotong? What's his background?"

She noticed Jiang Yang's gaze sweep over her.

The host immediately looked away, seeing nothing.

Liu Haochun's emotions quickly calmed down.

on the stage.

Lu Han lowered her head slightly, her voice softening: "In the year or so since I returned to China, many people have said that I only have popularity, not any real works..."

A fan in the audience shouted, "Lu Han, we will always support you!"

Lu Han smiled and looked up in the direction of the voice: "So today, I want to use this song to answer everyone: popularity is not a sin, and roses can bloom with thorns."

He turned to the side of the stage and gestured: "This song was written by my good friend, who is also an actor in the TV series 'Fighter of the Destiny' and my acting coach."

"When he wrote this song, he said that teenagers shouldn't be defined, so I decided to sing it with him today! His name is Jiang Yang."

The camera cuts to Jiang Yang backstage.
