Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

When I parted ways with Zhang Ruonan at the School of Continuing Education of Hangzhou University of Science and Technology, it was already noon.

The original plan was to finish recording the song before going to Hengdian.

It's too late.

Because several hours had passed during the morning training session in Zhang Ruonan's room.

He had promised Lu Han that he would bring Guan Xiaotong to visit the set.

They took money from Lu Han.

"Guan Xiaotong always visits Lu Han on set under the guise of being my friend. If this happens too often, and a paparazzi like Bai Lu exposes it, won't people think I'm Guan Xiaotong's boyfriend?" Jiang Yang wondered.

That's very likely to happen.

In the entertainment industry, many strange and unusual rumors spread in this way.

Netizens don't care about the truth; they only care about whether the gossip is new or not.

We'll have to talk to Lu Han about this later. If that happens, we'll have to pay extra!

Zhang Ruonan returned to school, just a few minutes into the first class of the afternoon.

I took out my phone to check the class schedule.

The course I took was on clothing structure design.

It's a practical lesson.

There wasn't time to go to the dormitory to get my textbooks.

After entering the teaching building, I went upstairs according to the class schedule, found the classroom, and came to the front door, where I saw that a class was in progress.

The teacher is demonstrating 3D cutting techniques.

"Teacher, I'm sorry I'm late." Zhang Ruonan bowed slightly in apology.

The teacher was a middle-aged woman with deep nasolabial folds.

The teaching is rigorous.

I used to particularly dislike students who were late.

Most likely, after taking attendance, they'll mark her as absent.

Since she was already in the wrong, Zhang Ruonan wouldn't argue even if she was scolded; she would just accept it.

But when she turned to look at the teacher, his serious expression lasted for a second before a smile gradually appeared on his face: "Ruonan, come in."

The teacher made a gesture to Zhang Ruonan and turned her head.

Then the lecture continued.

There was no criticism or blame as before.

At the same time, a tacit and subtle gasp was heard from inside the classroom.

"Zhang Ruonan has arrived for class."

"What Ruonan? Which 'man' are you talking about? The 'man' in 'manly man'? Ruonan has changed her name now, it's Ruonan."

"I'm talking about Ruonan."

"Ruonan has really entered the entertainment industry now."

……

Zhang Ruonan could not hear the murmurs and whispers clearly, but she could vaguely sense them.

Everyone seemed to be looking at her.

Her gaze swept across the room, searching for an empty seat.

When she made eye contact with the other students in the class, some immediately avoided her gaze.

Some people smiled at her.

Not only the teachers, but even the students in the class seemed to have become much more enthusiastic.

Zhang Ruonan was puzzled.

I used to be the quietest and least noticeable person in class.

Zhang Ruonan saw someone waving at her near the window: "Ruonan, I have a seat here."

It's roommate.

Her name is Zhou Wan, a long-haired girl from the North.

On the first day of school, we even bought blankets and made our beds together.

He sat down next to Zhou Wan and listened attentively to the lesson at first.

As class was about to end, Zhou Wan started chatting: "Ruo Nan, while you were away from school, did you see a lot of big stars?"

"I saw Gulnazar and Lu Han too," Zhang Ruonan said softly, covering her mouth with a piece of draft paper.

She added, "But I feel my boss, Jiang Yang, will be even more popular than Lu Han and Gulnazar in the future." She had barely finished speaking when...

She covered her mouth.

Realizing that she had said the wrong thing and accidentally revealed her true feelings.

If this gets out, I don't know how it will spread.

If a paparazzi like Bai Lu were to appear, it might get out and become: "According to Zhang Ruonan's revelation, Jiang Yang claims to be more popular than Lu Han and Gulnazar."

"Jiang Yang? So Jiang Yang is your boss? I know him, I've seen him in 'A Little Reunion'!"

Zhou Wan's eyes lit up: "He has over 100,000 followers on Weibo. I've also heard his song 'Starry Sea,' and I discovered that 'Bye Bye Donut,' which is in the top ten of the new song chart on NetEase Cloud Music, was also written by Jiang Yang."

"What song is 'Bye Bye Donut'?" Zhang Ruonan was taken aback.

"It's that song, I can't remember the name right now, it's sung by Yang Chaoyue. Her singing skills don't seem to be very good, she cracks when she sings the chorus. Oh, I remember now, it's called 'Calories'!"

“Yes, yes, that was written by my boss too!” Zhang Ruonan nodded immediately.

Chatted for a few words.

Zhou Wan brought up the topic again, this time to Zhang Ruonan: "Ruonan, I feel like you've become more beautiful."

"Really?" Zhang Ruonan asked with a smile.

"Really, I watched your interview at the press conference for the launch of 'Fighter of the Destiny' several times. You were so beautiful. You weren't nervous at all and you were able to talk so fluently."

"Those were all rehearsed."

"You have over 40,000 followers on Weibo, and you get new comments every day."

“Many of them are insults directed at me,” Zhang Ruonan said, pursing her lips.

Zhou Wan's eyes widened: "I defended you against several comments that were criticizing you. Oh my, Ruonan, I really didn't expect you to get into the entertainment industry so quickly. If I had known, I would have gone to that audition last year too."

“If you go, you’ll definitely get the interview!” Zhang Ruonan replied.

"Haha, really? I was just too lazy back then." Zhou Wan laughed sheepishly.

She continued, "I video chatted with my mom last night and told her that my roommate is going to become a star and is even on TV. Now all my relatives in the family group know about it, hahaha."

Chatted for a few words.

Zhang Ruonan had a strange feeling.

Zhou Wan, who used to be able to talk about anything, seems a bit reserved with me now.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

They used to share the same bowl of instant noodles, but now Zhou Wan has to observe her expression before even teasing her.

Very uncomfortable.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

The teacher called out, "get out of class dismissed."

In the past, students would rush out with their books, but now very few of them are getting up.

There's no rush to end get out of class.

Several people turned around and glanced at Zhang Ruonan.

Outside in the corridor, the sounds of other classes leaving, along with noisy chatter, could be heard.

A short girl in front of me tore off a piece of white paper and jogged over: "Ruo Nan, are you going to film Zedeki?"

The words fell.

The students in front all turned around and looked at them.

Even the teacher who was tidying up the cutting tools slowed down, smiled, and looked at Zhang Ruonan.

"Yes, we're going to film it."

Zhang Ruonan responded.

I'm not used to being the center of attention all of a sudden.

I know that there are far more people paying attention to me online than ever before.

But the internet is the internet, and reality is reality.

Her shoulders unconsciously hunched inward, and she nodded slightly: "But I don't know when I'll start filming. It's in Hengdian. I have to wait for my boss to send me the call sheet. Actually, I'm just a small character in it, very inconspicuous. My company's Chaoyue, Xiwei, and Haochun all have more scenes than me..."

The words are not finished yet.

He was interrupted excitedly by the other party, who said, "Ruo Nan, give me your autograph!"

Then he added a tentative question: "Is it okay?"

"You want my autograph...?" Zhang Ruonan paused, pointed to herself, and gently bit her lip. (End of Chapter)
