Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Jiang Yang replied: ["Good night."]
Yang Chaoyue sent another message:
"I can sense that you've been under a lot of pressure lately. If you have any worries, you can talk to me. I can't help you, but I'll shout them out to help you get rid of them."

When I was in my hometown, I knew my mother would never come home again. Every night when I missed her so much that I wanted to cry, I would run to the beach and shout at the moon. Anyway, the sound of the waves was so loud that no one could hear me.

Later I realized that after I finished shouting, the moon was still the same moon, and the sea was still the same sea, but I felt much lighter.

So, Yang, why don't you give it a try? I'll shout with you, anything you want.
Jiang Yang was slightly stunned.

Has he been making it very obvious during this period?
Zhang Ruonan, who was in the room, had not noticed anything amiss with him.

Or perhaps, Chaoyue has been observing himself all along.

Yang Chaoyue then sent a message: "Actually, I don't know if this will help you. I just want to tell you that I won't let you worry."

Now, Xiwei, Haochun, Ruonan, and I are all somewhat famous. The company's breach of contract penalty is very low, only 100,000 yuan. I've received messages on Weibo more than once from other companies wanting to poach me. I don't know what Xiwei, Haochun, Ruonan, and the others are thinking, but I'm not leaving.
Next came a voice message.

Yang Chaoyue spoke slowly and cautiously:

"Brother Yang, I'm not very educated and don't know how to comfort you. Anyway, I want to tell you that I will always be by your side. Even if your company goes bankrupt one day, I will help you make a comeback."

If I can't afford such nice hotels in the future, it would be fine to stay in a rented room in the Fuli Community like before, even if it's a bit run-down, like my old factory dormitory, I wouldn't mind.

I'm not afraid to go back to the past; I'm only afraid that you won't be by my side anymore.

I've long considered you family.
Yang Chaoyue was urinating on the toilet when he sent the message.

My phone rang.

Jiang Yang replied: ["Me too, Chaoyue."]
Then came another message: ["I consider you family."]
Yang Chaoyue stared blankly for a while, listening to the sound of the toilet flushing.

Go back to bed.

She curled up in bed in her pajamas and glanced at the message Jiang Yang had sent her one last time.

Putting your phone under your pillow is like hiding a piece of honey.

She turned off the lights and fell asleep, a faint smile on her face.

……

Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue finished their conversation.

The phone screen returned to the message list.

It includes brand sponsors that were agreed upon for the "Starry Sea" music video.

The discussion was about the pricing for product placement in advertisements.

The three types of product placement are very suitable for the young audience listening to this song.

These are Metersbonwe, a brand that focuses on youthful campus style and is suitable for music video atmosphere, with a price of 100,000.

We need close-up shots of the characters wearing the brand's clothing in the music video, as well as end credits acknowledging them.

And then there's OPPO, which has been heavily sponsoring entertainment content in the last two years and focuses on the concept of music phones; its price is 150,000 yuan.

The music video needs footage shot using a mobile phone by the characters.

The brand logo should be visible.

Finally, there were the beverage brands; three of them approached us.

Uni-President Iced Tea, Master Kong Green Tea, Wahaha Nutritional Express.

When this matter was discussed in the [Beautiful Girl Battle 4] group, Zhao Jinmai was the first to reject Wahaha Nutritional Express.

They said it was something for kids to drink.

If you're going to accept milk, accept AD calcium milk; that's the kind of drink adults should have.

In the end, they chose Master Kong Green Tea. The reason was simple: all three brands were priced the same at 80,000 yuan, so they let the female lead, Hao Chun, choose.

Hao Chun chose green tea.

All of these negotiations were completed within the past week.

The other party conducted thorough market research, predicted the song's potential, and quickly approached Jiang Yang after learning that he wanted to shoot a music video.

A hit song doesn't necessarily mean a hit music video, but Lu Han will appear in this song.

They were all talking about after-tax income.

The total comes to 330,000, which is a real income that can be put into one's pocket.

They also signed a non-exclusive broadcasting agreement with Tencent Youku, which will generate revenue through broadcasting revenue sharing, thus providing ongoing income.

The more popular the girls in the company become, the greater the long-term benefits will be.

The bathroom door opens.

Zhang Ruonan wasn't wrapped in a bath towel; she was wearing a white shirt and light yellow hot pants, and her hair was still wet.

After dinner, Zhang Ruonan brought two scripts to his room.

They also brought along character biographies from the TV series "Fighter of the Destiny".

Zhang Ruonan didn't have many scenes, but she meticulously filled in the details about her character's life, social relationships, family background, and emotional experiences. She patiently listened to Jiang Yang's instructions on how to act.

Even now, I have no intention of going back to my room.

She glanced at Jiang Yang sitting on the sofa and said, "Washing off the sweat makes me feel much better. I used to take a shower like this after every commercial shoot when I was a model."

I chatted with Jiang Yang for a bit.

Blow-dry your hair.

I sat down next to Jiang Yang on the sofa and saw him talking to the filming team from Lemon Pictures about tomorrow's music video shoot.

Zhang Ruonan did not disturb Jiang Yang.

I sat quietly beside him and picked up a copy of "The Director's Handbook" from the desk to read.

It was something Jiang Yang had her learn before.

It includes script analysis and actor guidance, covering the entire process of a director's work.

Completely incomprehensible.

Study hard.

I just don't understand why Jiang Yang made me learn this. Aren't I an actor?
Never mind.

According to Chaoyue, he learns whatever the boss tells him to learn.

[Under your care, Zhang Ruonan's directing skills have improved, and you have received corresponding feedback.]

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Jiang Yang went to take a shower.

Zhang Ruonan opened Weibo.

The latest Weibo post was from three days ago.

It's an edited video from the press conference for the launch of "Fighter of the Destiny".

He specially edited out his own interview segment.

It was only a few minutes long, but I watched it many times.

The reporter asked many questions.

It concerns his past experience as a model.

Someone asked why someone who had excellent grades in junior high school and got into a top high school ended up attending a part-time university.

They then asked about his experience as an extra.

In the video, I calmly answered each question.

The only thing that makes me uneasy is seeing the answers about names.

Actually, things are much better now.

A week has passed, and I'm gradually getting used to it.

The name Ruonan seems to have truly changed her personality.

I am no longer as timid as before.

Just like today.

She dared to come to Jiang Yang's room and ask him to teach her, and now she refuses to leave.

The comments on the latest Weibo post announcing the name change are increasing daily, and now there are more than two thousand comments.

Click to view.

Most of them were criticizing themselves.

After seeing so many, when I meet people in person, I start to wonder if I've really made a mistake.

Scrolling down, I suddenly came across a comment from a little girl who was still in elementary school:
[“Sister, my name is Zhaodi, and my classmates always say it’s an old-fashioned name. I saw your interview today, and you said Ruonan was a name you chose yourself. I didn’t know you could choose your own name! But Dad says if I change my name, my little brother won’t come anymore. What should I do?”]
What should I do?
Zhang Ruonan stared in disbelief.

Suddenly, I felt that the other person was a lot like myself when I was a child.

When I was a child, I vaguely thought about this question, but I didn't know what to do.

Click to open this comment.

I tried to edit my reply, but found that there was already a reply below.

This was Zhao Lushi's reply yesterday:
"Little Zhaodi, your name is like the first piece of clothing someone gives you, but whether you wear it or how you wear it is up to you. Sister Ruonan was also afraid that she would lose something if she changed her name, but after changing it, she found that the truly important things never disappear because of a name."

Just like your father's love for you, if it's strong enough, it won't be changed by a title.

Let me tell you a joke. I changed my name before. My dad's surname is Zhao, and my mom's surname is Yao. My original name was a combination of my parents' surnames, Zhao Yao. Later, I felt it was unlucky, and I always felt that someone would spread rumors about me at any time, so I changed it to Zhao Lushi.
Yang Chaoyue replied to Zhao Lushi's comment: ["Ruth, why didn't you swear?"] (End of Chapter)
