Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 396 Kissing someone you like really makes you forget to breathe.

Jiang Yang replied with a voice message with a smile: ["Understood, Mr. Xu. I'll send you the things you requested in a bit."]
The message was sent.

He casually tossed his phone aside.

If this is done well, Xu Xiaoou will get the final cut; if it's done poorly, he'll take the blame and cover the losses, while Xu Xiaoou will be completely unaffected.

Capitalists have it so good.

We can't afford to mess it up.

You'll lose a lot of money.

Jiang Yang didn't really care about money, but money was Yang Chaoyue's life.

In other words, making a good film can save Chaoyue's life.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that Chaoyue owed him a huge debt of gratitude.

From now on, when training with Super Leap, I'll feel even more at ease taking attributes from it.

Zhang Ruonan sat to the side, listening silently to Jiang Yang and Xu Xiaoou's conversation, not daring to utter a sound.

Take a look at the mobile camera equipment on the balcony.

Take another look at the storyboard that Jiang Yang has drawn on the computer screen.

Finally, I watched as Jiang Yang revised and rewrote the manuscript.

Even without having been to a film or television set, one can understand what Jiang Yang is facing.

My boss is really going to be a director.

It sounds like getting a temporary director position on a film set through Xu Xiaoou's connections comes with limitations.

However, the risks involved are significant.

Especially Xu Xiaoou's last line, "Xiao Jiang, I believe in you."

Zhang Ruonan subconsciously tensed up upon hearing this.

I was even more nervous than when I watched Bai Lu's scenes from "Go Fighting!" together.

Like a hot potato.

Success or failure is your own responsibility; opportunity and risk coexist.

Is there anything I can do to help Jiang Yang?

Powerless.

All she can do is try her best on set, perform her scenes well, learn everything about the crew, and avoid causing trouble for Jiang Yang or making him clean up her messes.

My boss is growing.

Everyone in the company is growing.

I need to keep up.

If you can't be like Chaoyue, who's already the top female star in the company, then follow in the footsteps of Xiwei and Haochun.

Only by walking steadily can we help Bailu.

Just like Haochun said, we should all walk the flower path together from now on.

Zhang Ruonan's phone vibrated.

Ruonan received a message from Yang Chaoyue: [“Ruonan, I’m watching your performance as an extra on Go Fighting! In the latest episode, there are comments praising you, saying ‘This old lady’s acting is amazing!’ Damn, you’re way better than me. They didn’t even praise me like that back then!”]
Immediately afterwards, a screenshot was sent over.

These were the comments criticizing Yang Chaoyue when that episode aired.

Yang Chaoyue continued to send messages: "When I saw those people cursing me, I cried until my eyes were swollen. They are really cruel. They not only cursed me, but also cursed my father. I just clicked back and read the bad comments about that episode. Suddenly I felt very strange. I didn't feel as bad as I did back then. I even felt that I was so sensitive back then."

So, Ruonan, it's perfectly normal for you to be nervous right now. If you can't handle it, just go find Jiang Yang. That dog boss is the best at coaxing people!
Anyway, I think thick skin comes from being scolded, acting skills are honed through practice, and if the sky falls, the boss will hold it up, so what's there to be afraid of?
Zhang Ruonan felt a warmth in her heart as she read this.

That's what transcendence is—telling yourself about her most embarrassing experiences to comfort yourself.

Zhang Ruonan typed a reply: ["Thank you, Chaoyue, I'm much better."]
She sent another message: [“But I really don’t like it when you keep calling Jiang Yang ‘dog boss.’”]
Yang Chaoyue replied: [“MaiMai’s nickname for you is spot on, Zhang the Lackey.”]
"Are you nervous? How about we watch your performance on Go Fighting!" Jiang Yang paused, holding his pencil.

"I'm not nervous anymore, not at all. You go ahead and do your thing."

With the comfort of Mai Mai and Chao Yue, they knew the challenges Jiang Yang was facing.

Zhang Ruonan suddenly felt that she was being too pretentious.

Compared to what Jiang Yang is facing, this little thing is nothing.

"Jiang Yang, is there anything I can do to help you?" Zhang Ruonan suddenly asked.

"The hotel doesn't have any markers for drawing camera movements. Could you buy me a red one?" Jiang Yang said.

"I happen to have some in my bag."

Zhang Ruonan took a marker out of her bag, opened the cap, and revealed the red nib.

Jiang Yang picked it up and wrote: "Go buy another blue one."

"I have some in my bag too."

You have all of this?

Seeing Zhang Ruonan take out a blue marker, Jiang Yang took it and made some marks. After a while, he glanced at Zhang Ruonan's bulging handbag.

I hadn't thought much about it before.

It was only then that I noticed that Zhang Ruonan always carried a bulging crossbody bag whenever she appeared.

It looks very heavy.

He asked, "Now I need a black marker."

"Have!"

"What about the scale? We need it to measure the shot size."

"some."

Jiang Yang thought it was normal when Zhang Ruonan took out three different colored markers. But when he saw Zhang Ruonan take out a scale ruler from her bag...

This was exactly what Jiang Yang needed: a triangular scale for drawing storyboard sketches and marking the proportions of characters and scenes.
He was stunned: "How come you even have a scale?"

“I used to often organize stationery for my younger siblings, so I would carry some spares with me. It’s a habit.”

Zhang Ruonan asked again, "Is there anything else you need?"

"Do you have any balloons?" Jiang Yang asked.

Blow up a balloon to the size of the actor's head when filming, to simulate the proportions of the characters and environment in the shot, especially for close-up shots.

“I don’t have any balloons in my bag,” Zhang Ruonan shook her head.

"It's normal not to have it."

Jiang Yang smiled.

I almost really thought Zhang Ruonan had everything in her bag.

Just as she was about to ask Zhang Ruonan to go out and buy some, she saw Zhang Ruonan take a box of Durex condoms out of her bag: "Is this okay?"

"What?"

“When I looked at this last time, it could also be bulging.”

Jiang Yang stared in disbelief: "How can this be used as a balloon?"

"Very simple."

Zhang Ruonan didn't quite understand how to use this thing.

She just didn't want Jiang Yang to think she was useless.

I opened the box, took out the inner sleeve, and clumsily unpacked the package.

"I can help you inflate it."

"What?"

Exaggeration?

Jiang Yang was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhang Ruonan utter the word so naturally.

Is Ruonan already so experienced after just one time?
Or did you specifically study it?

Did Bailu teach it?
It was a good decision to sign the White Dew plaque.

In any case, it did remind him.

Why bother writing storyboards now? There'll be plenty of time later.

Can be followed immediately.

Zhang Ruonan picked it up, put it to her lips, and blew air into it forcefully.

Jiang Yang chuckled: "Ruo Nan, that's not how it is."

He reached out and put his arm around Zhang Ruonan's waist, and said with a smile, "Want me to teach you?"

When Jiang Yang put his arm around Zhang Ruonan's waist, she instinctively tensed her neck.

She softened after smelling Jiang Yang's scent.
Realizing that the person next to her was Jiang Yang, she relaxed.

He placed the tablet on his desk, not even bothering to look at it: "Yes, I want to learn!"

I glanced at the storyboard sketches drawn by Jiang Yang.

And on the phone on the table, the screen lit up, were messages sent by Xu Xiaoou.

Zhang Ruonan rested her cheek against Jiang Yang's shoulder, her chin slightly raised, and looked at Jiang Yang: "I just want to make things easier for you, Jiang Yang. I feel like you're under a lot of pressure."

I chatted with Jiang Yang for a bit.

Zhang Ruonan's tone gradually softened and became weaker.

As she gazed at Jiang Yang's lips, her own lips unconsciously parted slightly.

I mustered up my courage and went over.

A thought popped into her mind: what was she originally here to see Jiang Yang for?

correct.

Her original intention was to come and watch her performance clips from "Go Fighting!" with Jiang Yang; that was her real purpose.

Why did I suddenly act so impulsively...?

The thoughts in my mind came to an abrupt halt.

Suddenly, all my thoughts vanished.

I feel like nothing matters anymore.

The moment the kiss landed, I unconsciously let out a barely audible "hmm".
