Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Since a few words on WeChat weren't enough to resolve the issue, Jiang Yang called Xu Xiaoou.

The filming of "Fighter of the Destiny" started faster than Jiang Yang had planned.

That's perfectly normal.

In fact, it's related to the butterfly effect he experienced.

The number of plays for "Calorie" has been rising on major music platforms in the past few days, and its ranking on the new song chart has caught up with his "Starry Sea".

It's unclear how long this buzz will last.

Most importantly, the investors have increased their investment amount and are demanding that the fantasy drama genre be secured during the summer season.

Meanwhile, a large production team originally scheduled to work at the Qin Palace in Hengdian withdrew its investment and absconded.

This accelerated the preparation period before the start of filming for "Fighter of the Destiny".

“Okay, Mr. Xu, my actors are ready to join the crew anytime. My music video can wait, but I have an idea…”

Not a moment later.

Xu Xiaoou's voice came through the phone: "Jiang Yang, are you sure you're serious about filming those scenes with your actors, and you don't want any money?"

After finishing the phone call with Xu Xiaoou.

Jiang Yang glanced back at the room.

I stayed at the Vienna International Hotel on Pinghai Road.

It's a ten-minute walk from West Lake, making it convenient for Zhang Qing's crew to film in places like West Lake and Hefang Street.

There is a meeting room available all day, which can be used for script revisions and discussion of plans.

The restaurant offers delivery until the early hours of the morning.

Suitable for rushing to complete a project.

The underground parking lot is large enough to accommodate the film crew's equipment vehicles.

His room was an executive king room with a separate office area. On the floor next to the bed was a set of camera equipment that Zhang Qing had given him.

It has tracks, a small cart, a small rocker arm, and a gimbal.

I want to test my current directing abilities and see how effective they are.

Move these things to the balcony.

Jiang Yang laid out the electric slide rails, then fixed the robotic arm on the slide rails, and then installed the gimbal.

The ground is flat, so there is no need to use wooden wedges.

After installing the camera, connect the slider, robotic arm, and gimbal with a data cable, and then begin test shooting.

No external monitor was used.

View directly on the camera's built-in small screen.

As the camera slowly zooms in, it captures the sunlight reflecting off the surface of West Lake, as well as the silhouette of Leifeng Pagoda in the distance.

Traffic flowed smoothly on Yan'an Road.

Buses and taxis shuttle back and forth.

In the direction of Hefang Street, there are old buildings with blue tiles and white walls, and red lanterns hanging on their signs.

On the terrace of the coffee shop downstairs in the hotel, a few young people were sitting and drinking coffee.

My phone vibrated, and I received a reply from Xu Xiaoou: ["I've talked to Zhang Qing. You've been keeping this under wraps. You have the script, right? When we get to the set, I'll shoot a short segment for you, about one to two minutes long. You can coordinate the scene size with the guild. Just tell the coordinator about the foreground, extras, and number of background actors. Xiao Jiang, I'm really looking forward to your performance. If it's good, you can be credited as the group director, and you'll be filming your own scenes."]
really.

Xu Xiaoou gets excited at the mention of free services.

Fortunately, he had some directorial talent, so Jiang Yang could understand some of the darker aspects of the industry.

When Xu Xiaoou mentioned the duration of filming, he wasn't referring to the time allotted, but rather the number of pages in the script.

Two points zero means taking two pages of paper.

One point is a little more than one page.

Xu Xiaoou might still remember that equity pledge agreement.

It's worth noting that the latest episode of "Go Fighting!" has already aired, and Jiang Yang sent Bai Lu a message: ["Bai Lu, are you in Ruo Nan's room?"]
Bai Lu replied: ["Yes, boss. We're watching 'Go Fighting!', the episode with Ruonan. It just aired."]
[“How is Ruonan doing?”] Jiang Yang edited the text.

[“This isn’t good. She says she’s fine, but I feel like she’s really upset inside. I wanted to turn off the comments, but Ruonan insisted on keeping them on. Some of the comments made me angry.”]
After sending the message, Bai Lu watched the latest episode of "Go Fighting!" with Zhang Ruonan for a while.

I haven't received any more news from Jiang Yang.

I felt a little uneasy.

Is Jiang Yang, this boss, really as good as Zhang Ruonan described?
uncertain.

You can only see it in action.

Right now, this is the moment when Zhang Ruonan needs comfort and encouragement the most.

I originally thought that after Jiang Yang finished asking these questions, he would send Zhang Ruonan a message or make a phone call.

Or they might just knock on the door.

But nothing came of it. Everything was as if nothing had happened.

Did I have too high expectations for Jiang Yang?
On second thought, it makes sense. Jiang Yang has actually done a great job. If it were another company's boss, they wouldn't even bother to care about their employees.

The phone propped up on the phone stand on the table in front of me was still playing content from the variety show "Go Fighting!"

It's a chase scene between Zhang Yixin and Luo Zhixiang.

A short while later, Huang Lei led Huang Duoduo to complete the task assigned by the program team.

We must make the most of the meager budget provided by the production team.

At the same time, we must also prevent our money from being stolen.

Upon seeing Jiang Yang, who was playing a deaf-mute, Bai Lu stopped lounging on the sofa and sat up, staring intently: "Is this Jiang Yang?"

Jiang Yang's gaze was unusually focused when he was talking to Huang Duoduo.

This is a characteristic of deaf-mute people.

The main thing is to keep an eye on Huang Duoduo's lips when she speaks to determine what she is saying.

Occasionally, it will make a hoarse sound using its throat, producing sounds similar to "ah" or "uh".

I've seen Jiang Yang's performance in "A Little Reunion".

He portrayed the image of a rebellious teenager.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yang's portrayal of a deaf-mute was incredibly lifelike.

"Our boss is a very good actor; he can convincingly portray any role."

Zhang Ruonan laughed and said, "Last time, when you taught me how to act out nervousness, I couldn't grasp the key points and couldn't act well. Jiang Yang then acted out a head teacher, and within a few seconds, I immediately became so nervous that I hid my phone in my sleeve."

She added, "Jiang Yang was also the acting coach in 'Fighter of the Destiny,' teaching Gulnazar how to act."

“Gulnazar!” Bai Lu was stunned.

"And Lu Han."

"Lu Han?!" Bai Lu exclaimed in surprise.

When I was selected as a trainee at SM Entertainment in South Korea, it was largely due to the influence of Lu Han.

I want to be an idol like Lu Han.

As a result, he failed the audition and returned to China, where he became a model.

"Will Jiang Yang teach me acting in the future?" Bai Lu asked.

"Definitely. Jiang Yang will teach all the artists signed to the company."

Do I need to pay the company?

"How could that be? It's free."

Zhang Ruonan thought for a moment and said, "However, it seems that Jiang Yang charges a fee for being the acting instructor in the Zetianji drama crew, one million."

Hear the words.

Bai Lu's fingers trembled slightly: "One million, holy crap."

Jiang Yang offered to give away the acting coaching fees of one million yuan that Gulnazar and Lu Han received for free.

Does this mean that I got a million from Jiang Yang for free?

Jiang Yang teaches acting skills to big stars like Lu Han and Gulnazar, and he'll teach acting skills to me in the future. Does that mean I'm a big star myself?

Just thinking about it makes me feel that signing the contract with Jiangyang Company was a really worthwhile deal.

She still tentatively asked, "Are we really not paying for Jiangyang's acting classes? In Korea, we have to pay the company."

"Believe me, you don't need to give anything. Jiang Yang actually loves money. He's stingy with others, but he's very generous to us because he thinks we're more important than money."

Zhang Ruonan smiled, her eyes shining: "He really cares about our efforts."

Bai Lu was stunned.

Having grown accustomed to being exploited, sudden acts of kindness can feel unsettling.

The two stopped talking.

Zhang Ruonan appeared after an hour of broadcasting!

Zhang Ruonan clutched the hem of her clothes tightly.

Bai Lu stared at the screen, her back straight.

I had heard Zhang Ruonan say before that this was her first time acting, and Jiang Yang didn't have time to train her at all. He just had her memorize her lines and did her makeup and styling.

Whether her boss was really as good as Zhang Ruonan said, let's put that question aside for now.

What Bai Lu is even more curious about is...

Judging from the opening credits, Zhang Ruonan actually managed to make Huang Bo cry? What lines did Jiang Yang teach Zhang Ruonan? (End of Chapter)
