Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 383 Is this Jiang Yang's achievement?
"My boss can definitely do it!"

Liu Haochun's eyes shone: "When acting with Jiang Yang, as soon as I make eye contact with him, my emotions come up. He has many ways to guide me. Sometimes, just hearing his voice is enough for me to immerse myself in the role."

real or fake?

Is it really that weird?

Zhang Qing then asked, "Does Teacher Jiang get angry too?"

“He rarely gets angry, but I have seen him berate people before,” Liu Haochun recalled.

This is normal.

Who wouldn't be angry, especially someone like Jiang Yang who manages artists?

Zhang Qing understands this feeling very well.

I also wanted to talk to Liu Haochun a bit more to get to know what kind of person Jiang Yang was.

After all, if he expects Jiang Yang to help him rise to prominence, Jiang Yang might not actually help him. It all comes down to mutual exploitation of each other's value. But if Jiang Yang wanted to make things difficult for him, it would be too easy for him.

It's a music video, and compared to Jiang Yang's previous works like "A Little Reunion" and the upcoming "Fighter of the Destiny," it's a very small project.

They also received the advertisement.

For him, a single music video could land him advertising with brands like OPPO phones (electronics), Master Kong green tea (beverages), and Metersbonwe (clothing). It was a very cost-effective project.

It allows your team to practice.

A well-made film can also enhance one's reputation within the industry.

As the producer, Jiang Yang won't be overseeing everything. But once he's on set, he'll have the most say.

First, test Jiang Yang's preferences and get a feel for human relationships.

"Who has Teacher Jiang been angry with before?" Zhang Qing asked.

"Yang Chaoyue was the first artist the company signed."

"Why?"

Just as Liu Haochun was about to speak, he overheard the extras in the noodle shop talking about the entrance exam for the Beijing Dance Academy.

It suddenly occurred to me.

Today is the day the results for the third round of auditions at the Beijing Dance Academy are released.

I wasn't in the mood to chat with Zhang Qing much.

I ranked among the top in both the preliminary and second rounds of the exams, and I'm likely to do the same in the third round.

I know that it's generally possible to get into an arts college, but I mainly want to know how I rank.

The third test is the final exam.

It directly determines the overall ranking.

What about Jiangyang?
How are Jiangyang's results at the Beijing Dance Academy?
It's obvious that Jiang Yang didn't check; he seems completely unconcerned about the results. It was Sister Xiaotong who helped find out Jiang Yang's Beijing Film Academy entrance exam scores and sent them to Zhou Ye. She was watching from backstage at the time.

Liu Haochun unlocked her phone screen, opened the Beijing Dance Academy website, and entered her admission ticket number on the page for checking exam results.

"Do you want to check your results from the third round of auditions for the Beijing Dance Academy?" Zhang Qing asked.

"Yes."

Liu Haochun responded without looking up, staring at his phone screen.

Zhang Qing also glanced at the score update page displayed on Liu Haochun's phone screen.

Having heard that Jiang Yang was a senior at Tongliang High School, he made a special effort to inquire about Jiang Yang's situation.

If I remember correctly, Jiang Yang also participated in the entrance exam for the Beijing Dance Academy and successfully passed the third round.

What are the entrance exam results for the Beijing Dance Academy in Jiangyang?
Liu Haochun's phone screen displayed her results from the third round of auditions for the Beijing Dance Academy:

Results of the third round of the undergraduate entrance examination for Beiping Dance Academy in 2016.

Candidate's name: Liu Haochun.

Gender: Female.

Major applied for: Dance Performance, Chinese Folk Dance.

Exam Level: Undergraduate Level 3.

Liu Haochun's basic skills assessment score was 39.5 out of 50.

Each rating is followed by a line of comments.

It has excellent flexibility in the waist and legs, outstanding control, and strong rotational stability.

Liu Haochun's technical skills demonstration: 37 points out of 50.

The high jump is sufficient, the series of somersaults is well-connected, and the speed of the point somersault can be improved.

Liu Haochun's performance of his self-selected play: 46.5 points out of 50.

The emotional expression is delicate, the water sleeve technique is skillful, and the character portrayal is complete.

Liu Haochun's impromptu performance: 44 points out of 50

The music is well understood, the compositional ability is outstanding, and the use of space can be further enriched.

Next were the scores for the action imitation and rhythm tests, both out of 10 points. Liu Haochun scored 9.2 and 8.8 points respectively.

Liu Haochun slowly swiped his phone screen.

Zhang Qing watched intently, his expression gradually becoming serious.

He has a friend who is from the Beijing Dance Academy.

Knowing the scores of the third round of auditions for the Beijing Dance Academy, Liu Haochun's current scores are only a few points away from a perfect score.

Top-notch level.

Liu Haochun scrolled to the bottom of the results page, where the ranking information appeared.

Total score: 185 points.

Professional ranking: No. 2.

Number of people with the same score: 0.

Historical comparison: The average score of the second-place student in this major over the past three years is 181.3.

Below that is the examiner's overall evaluation.

It says:

The candidate has outstanding physical condition, solid professional foundation, and a captivating performance.

It achieves a very high level in both technical skill and artistic expression.

She possesses the potential to become an excellent dancer.

It is suggested that we strive for even greater refinement in the handling of details.
"Congratulations, Haochun, on your near-perfect score!" Zhang Qing praised.

I'm afraid Liu Haochun's grades are bad, so I don't even know what to say to praise him, and I'm afraid it will make the atmosphere awkward.

He continued, "You're second in your major at Beijing Dance Academy. That's a score you can be proud of on your acting resume."

"Thank you."

Liu Haochun responded very politely.

It was clear that Zhang Qing meant to praise her, but it was mostly just polite talk.

They wanted to get closer to Jiang Yang out of consideration for him.

It is clear that the relationship between Mingbai, Zhang Qing, and all the staff on the set is only temporary, a professional overlap.

She won't get too close.

She was both protecting herself and fearing that someone might take advantage of her and cause trouble for Jiang Yang.

"Second in the Beijing Dance Academy's professional exam? Let me see."

"Teacher Haochun, may I take a look at your grades?"

The others heard the commotion and looked over.

Some of these were encouraged by Zhang Qing, while others were simply sensitive to this issue.

None of Zhang Qing's group of people came from wealthy or privileged backgrounds.

Even Zhang Qing himself came from the lower class.

Most of them are not highly educated and don't have many topics to talk about. They either talk about work, family, or women.

They have received compulsory education.

They are very sensitive to academic performance.

Especially for older people, and those with children at home.

Script supervisor Xiao Wang, a 19-year-old vocational high school graduate, dreams of attending the Beijing Film Academy but can't afford tutoring, viewing a degree as a sacred symbol. Lighting technician Lao Li, a 38-year-old from the countryside who came to Beiping, has a daughter in junior high school and is most concerned about other people's children's grades.

Makeup artist Ah Ling, a 25-year-old college graduate, once wanted to apply to an art school but was opposed by her family. She has a strong attachment to art students.

There's also Lao Zhang, the leader of the extras, a 45-year-old laid-off worker whose son is a rebellious high school senior who hates studying. He urgently needs role models to educate his son.

After Liu Haochun gave his permission, they all gathered around.

For various reasons, continuing my studies is not very realistic.

The belief that reading can change one's destiny remains etched in my heart.

After clearly understanding Liu Haochun's grades.

Old Li, rubbing his hands together, leaned closer and forced a smile: "Um, Mr. Haochun, could I take a picture of your report card? My daughter is in the second year of junior high, and she keeps complaining that she doesn't want to go to school."

"Sure," Liu Haochun said with a smile.

The script supervisor, Xiao Wang, secretly took some photos with his phone: "Teacher Hao Chun, this score is something I can brag about for years! If I had this score back then..."

"It's okay, just take the picture."

Liu Haochun casually placed his phone on the table.

The screen displays the results of the third round of auditions for the Beijing Dance Academy.

Everyone craned their necks to look, and one person tried to point at the screen, but Zhang Qing scolded him and stopped him.

do not know why.

Liu Haochun clearly sensed that the attitude of the staff on set towards her seemed to have changed slightly.

Seeing Old Zhang, the leader of the extras, kick the extra who had been gossiping earlier, and curse, "Who the hell said it was a nepotism case? Look at those guys' waist and leg scores! If you're so good, you do it!"

Makeup artist Ah Ling muttered, "I knew it... how could someone signed by Teacher Jiang not be capable?"

The sound engineer took off his headphones and exclaimed, "Teacher Hao Chun, no wonder President Jiang cast you as the female lead. Your professional skills are truly impressive."

There was even a stagehand who, during a dozen or so takes, Liu Haochun overheard him whispering that she was only getting the job because Jiang Yang was promoting her.

Now, however, he took the initiative to come over, scratching his head awkwardly, and even offered Liu Haochun a cigarette: "Um... Teacher Haochun, my niece also studies dance. Could you add her on WeChat? She really wants to apply to the Beijing Dance Academy."

Zhang Qing then said ingratiatingly, "Everyone should learn from this! What does it mean to be a true talent? This is it! Give Hao Chun some time, and he will definitely be able to perform well. The second-best student from Beijing Dance Academy is performing for us, so what are you still complaining about?"

The film set, which was originally tense due to too many takes, was surprisingly calmed down a lot because of my Beijing Dance Academy entrance exam results.

Liu Haochun was slightly taken aback.

Actually, she hasn't changed at all.

It's the same as before.

These people have indeed treated her better, and you can feel that it comes from the bottom of their hearts.

Is this what makes academic performance so important?

A short while later, she retrieved her phone, and the people on set were still talking about her achievements.

Looking down at the report card on my phone.

I realized something.

Good grades can really change how others see you.

She lightly traced the score on the screen with her fingertip, and suddenly smiled: "When Jiang Yang forced Chaoyue to study, I didn't understand, but now I do."

In the distance, a stagehand was sending a voice message to her family while holding up a photo of her report card: "Honey, look! This is the girl who got second place in the Beijing Dance Academy!"

Liu Haochun locked his phone, his eyes softening: "From now on, I'll also keep an eye on Chaoyue's vocabulary memorization. Chaoyue has brought me milk tea so many times, this time it's my turn to bother her."

Then it suddenly occurred to me.

How will your parents react when they see your grades?
If they knew, would they also praise themselves like these people, saying, "My daughter is amazing"?

She gripped her phone tightly, then let go.

Forget it.

Let's not think about anything else for now.

Yang Ge once said that cultural workers should be cultured.

"At the very least, I want Chaoyue to get into university. She works so hard and shouldn't be mocked online with words like 'uneducated.' I'll help her however little I can."

She sent Yang Chaoyue a private message: ["Chaoyue, have you boarded the plane yet?"]
Yang Chaoyue replied: ["Not yet, they're checking the boarding passes."]
Liu Haochun typed: [“From now on, I will not only urge you to learn dance, but also to learn your academic subjects.”]
"Did Yang give you a raise?"
"No."
After replying, Liu Haochun thought for a moment.

How much was Jiang Yang's salary again?

Can not remember.

I didn't watch it much.

She continued typing: ["Jiang Yang really wants your grades to improve, so I want to help Jiang Yang, and I also want to help you."]
Yang Chaoyue replied: [“Pure lackey.”]
Yang Chaoyue then posted: ["If I ever make Brother Yang angry and he locks me up and spanks me, you'll definitely be the one keeping watch at the door."]
Liu Haochun didn't reply to Yang Chaoyue, but first opened Zhao Jinmai's private chat: ["Maimai, here's a Chinese question for you: What's the next line after 'The country is broken, but the mountains and rivers remain'?"]
Received a reply from Zhao Jinmai: [“Springtime in the city, overgrown with weeds and trees.”]
correct.

That's the answer.

She then texted Yang Chaoyue: [“Chaoyue, here’s a Chinese question for you: What’s the next line after ‘The country is broken, but the mountains and rivers remain’?”]
Yang Chaoyue replied instantly: ["Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things."]
Liu Haochun stared in stunned silence.

Headache.

Tell Yang Chaoyue that in addition to sending her dance practice videos that evening, you also need to give her video dictation of English words.

Sometimes the boss forgets to supervise Chaoyue; from now on, she'll do this kind of work.

Yang Chaoyue boarded the plane, so we couldn't continue our conversation.

The last message Yang Chaoyue sent was: [“Lackey Hao! Lackey Chun! Yang Ge’s lapdog Liu Haochun!”]
It makes me furious just looking at it.

She was clearly trying to help Chaoyue improve his grades, but Chaoyue blatantly cricketed at her.

They don't hide anything from her.

Liu Haochun clicked on Yang Chaoyue's Weibo.

In the comments, I quickly found a negative review.

The content is: [I heard Yang Chaoyue didn't graduate from junior high school? She must have had a tough time memorizing her lines, considering she didn't even finish reading her textbooks!]
Liu Haochun silently gave it a thumbs up.

When Yang Chaoyue asked later, he said he slipped.

Zhang Qing continued, "To be honest, Hao Chun, your score is several points higher than the average score of the top student in the past three years at Beijing Dance Academy. Normally, you should be number one at Beijing Dance Academy. It's unbelievable that someone else has a higher score than you. That person is really..."

He was about to utter the word "pervert".

Liu Haochun muttered, "The one ranked first must be Jiang Yang."

"What?"

Zhang Qing stopped speaking and paused, stunned.

Looking at Liu Haochun on the official website of Beijing Dance Academy, where scores can be checked, he entered Jiang Yang's admission ticket number.

refresh.

A new page appears.

This is Jiang Yang's score from the third round of auditions for the Beijing Dance Academy.

Candidate Name: Jiang Yang

Sex: Male
Major applied for: Dance Performance, Chinese Classical Dance.

Exam Level: Undergraduate Level 3.

Just like Liu Haochun's score inquiry page, each score is followed by a line of comments.

Basic skills assessment: 49.8 out of 50.

The flexibility of the waist and legs is almost perfect, and the control and rotational stability are extremely strong.

Technical skills demonstration, 48.5 out of 50.

The high jump and the sense of hang time are amazing, the series of flips are smooth and fluid, and the point flips are both fast and accurate.

Self-selected performance, "Bring in the Wine", 49.5 out of 50.

The emotional outburst is breathtaking, the sword dance skills are natural and seamless, and the character portrayal has an epic feel.

Improvisational performance, 47.5 out of 50.

The music is deeply interpreted, the composition is well-structured, and the use of space is full of imagination.

The scores for action imitation and rhythm tests were 9.8 and 9.5 respectively.

Even knowing that Jiang Yang's grades would be better than his own, Liu Haochun couldn't help but hold his breath as he read through the lines.

"These are Jiang Yang's scores?" Zhang Qing stared in disbelief.

Is Jiang Yang's mother Yang Liping?
