Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

After finishing, wash up and go out.

Zhang Ruonan had originally planned to go to Hangzhou for class today, but she couldn't bear to leave.

Even if it means skipping class, I'll spend the whole day with Jiang Yang.

In her words, she was worried about Jiang Yang because the trending topics about him hadn't dropped.

Although Jiang Yang seemed to have nothing to worry about, he inexplicably and annoyingly hoped that his negative hashtags would reach the top ten trending topics.

They said this would allow them to earn more money.

I don't understand the logic behind it.

I'm really worried about Jiang Yang.

How could the boss be so despicable, getting criticized by so many people and still complaining that there aren't enough people criticizing him?

I told Zhong Shujia that Lu Han will be at work today.

Jiang Yang was not entirely at ease.

I promised Zhong Shujia, and I must keep my word, as it concerns tomorrow's negotiations with him.

Trust is very important in this industry.

It's all for profit.

Even if you've already discussed it with Lu Han on WeChat, you still have to go and check it out.

The production team booked the makeup room for Lu Han at the one on Changzheng Road.

The information was kept confidential and only insiders knew about it.

Otherwise, who knows how many girls would come to cheer for them.

Knock on Guan Xiaotong's door.

"Come in, come in, breakfast is ready for you two."

Guan Xiaotong hurriedly opened the door; she had just finished washing up.

During the few days that Jiang Yang and Zhong Shujia were at an impasse, Guan Xiaotong couldn't have been happier.

Because Lu Han boycotted the performance.

She spends a lot of time with Lu Han.

Even if this secret relationship may never see the light of day.

Breakfast was delivered by the hotel: "Jiang Yang, does Brother Lu have breakfast? Should we bring him some?"

"The crew will make preparations. Lu Ge should be at the dressing room on Changzheng Road by now. I saw on the call sheet that the makeup session is at 10 o'clock, so it won't be that soon."

"Okay, okay."

Guan Xiaotong met Zhang Ruonan at the press conference for the start of filming of "Fighter of the Destiny".

Guan Xiaotong also helped to retweet Zhang Ruonan's Weibo post about changing her name.

It was partly out of respect for Jiang Yang, and partly to cheer on this brave girl who was changing her destiny.

It did help Zhang Ruonan gain over 10,000 followers.

The two girls chatted casually.

Guan Xiaotong came under the guise of being Jiang Yang's friend, but her real purpose was to get close to Lu Han.

They were talking about love.

A moment later, she asked Zhang Ruonan, "Ruonan, do you think it would bother Lu Ge if I message him every day?"

"No way, I message Jiang Yang every day, and he always puts me on Do Not Disturb."

"what?"

Guan Xiaotong was taken aback.

Hearing Zhang Ruonan continue, "Jiang Yang puts me on Do Not Disturb and still replies to my messages instantly, which means Jiang Yang cares about me a lot."

"is that so."

Guan Xiaotong fell into deep thought.

Before even starting university, I was learning dating skills little by little.

Lu Ge didn't put her on mute, so next time I'll have to let him turn it on; that way it'll show he cares about me.

Jiang Yang, listening from the side, felt uneasy.

A person who has never been in a relationship is teaching a girl who is deeply in love how to date, and even using himself as an example.

Can you give an example like this?

He and Zhang Ruonan had a boss-employee relationship, not a romantic one.

My phone keeps ringing every day, even when I'm filming, as I can't turn on Do Not Disturb.

After taking a bite of the lean meatball, she felt the taste was off: "Xiaotong, what's the spiciness level of the lean meatballs you ordered?"

"Extra spicy!"

Is this supposed to be extra spicy? I can't feel it at all.

On second thought, it makes sense.

This is Zejiang, and the spiciness here can't compare to my hometown, Chongqing.

But why is it that no matter where Yang Chaoyue is, the braised pork trotter rice he orders always makes his lips swell from the spiciness?

We boarded the film crew's van and headed to the Long March route.

There was a clothing warehouse in front of me when I got off the bus.

They're all in period costumes.

The actors, divided into men and women, lined up to receive their costumes and register their names. At the appointed time, a bus would arrive to pick them up and take them to the filming location.

Opposite is a rest area with a corrugated iron shed.

There were dozens of folding chairs, all brought by the actors.

The actors who arrived early today arrived at 3 a.m., and the makeup artists inside arrived even earlier, at 2 a.m., to do the actors' makeup.

The production assistant led the three of them upstairs.

"Are these all extras? There are so many." Zhang Ruonan looked around, her eyes shining.

This is the first time I've seen actors all getting their makeup done at Hengdian.

To be precise, it's just makeup for a group performance; they only do hair accessories and wigs, not actual makeup.

The girl did her own makeup.

So if you look towards the rest area, you can see many female extras taking off their outer clothes, revealing their tank tops underneath, and changing their costumes.

Some were also holding small mirrors, applying makeup and putting on contact lenses.

Boys generally don't wear makeup.

I'm not as particular as girls; I'm just a background figure anyway.

After getting their hair styled, they would lie down on the folding chairs and either play on their phones, eat the breakfast they received from the second floor, or chat.

Zhang Ruonan had seen extras before on the set of "Go Fighting!", but never nearly as many as this time.

There must be more than a hundred people.

Another bus came roaring over, and a group of actors carrying folding chairs got off: "Jiang Yang, are these all the actors going to Tiandu City later?"

"Yes, Old Man Zhong knew that Lu Han was going to act today, and he went all out, arranging for actors for both scenes. It'll probably be filming until dawn."

Jiang Yang opened the notice and said, "The daytime scenes will be filmed by the lake in Tiandu City, with a lot of scenes of laborers carrying groceries. The night scenes will be filmed in the market area inside the city gate, with guards, vendors, and a large number of people walking back and forth."

"When filming daytime scenes, are the actors waiting to film night scenes paid?"

"Of course it counts. If a regular extra is overtime by ten minutes, you get paid for an hour. If a background actor is overtime by fifteen minutes, you get paid for half a day. The same goes for special guests."

Although she knew that extras were the lowest level of actors, the jobs she took afterward were no longer extras, but supporting roles.

But I still want to know these things.

She understood that without Jiang Yang, she would most likely have started as an extra on this path.

So I silently remembered it.

I saw the filming schedule on the call sheet from Jiang Yang. I calculated that for the scenes of "Fighter of the Destiny" filmed in Tiandu City today, the average extra would earn around 300 yuan.

The potential is around 700.

More than a thousand were contracted.

In just one day, the expenses for the salaries of these ordinary actors alone exceeded 60,000 yuan.

Not to mention the salaries of Lu Han and other supporting actors.

In addition to the hourly wages of each staff member on site, and the rental costs of equipment and venue.

In total, the crew's daily expenses exceeded one million yuan.

“Jiang Yang, I think I understand why you’re not worried about being trending on social media anymore. It’s because Zhong Shujia is more anxious than you are.”

After greeting Lu Han in her personal makeup and styling room, I considered today's task complete.

Jiang Yang took Zhang Ruonan for a stroll around Hengdian.

We visited the Ming and Qing Palace Garden, which is essentially a replica of the Forbidden City.

I also visited the Qingming Riverside Scene, which is very close to the Marriott Hotel, and the Hengdian World Studios Plaza is right across the street. I returned to the hotel in the evening.

Jiang Yang didn't go to the scene where he had to leap over obstacles.

Overweight has matured and learned to work for him and earn money on his own.

The only thing I'm worried about is...

Bai Lu also went to the film set with Chao Yue. I wonder what bad habits these two will learn from each other.

He'll have to spend time and effort training him in the future.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

The next morning.

The morning sun's rays slanted into the room, making the edges of the quilt shine.

Jiang Yang placed his hand on Zhang Ruonan's waist, his knuckles twitching slightly.

Her waist was very thin, her skin and flesh were firm, and you could feel the curve of her ribs when you touched it.

My fingers climbed up my spine and touched the edge of my shoulder blade, where there was a small indentation.

Zhang Ruonan gave a soft "hmm," tilted her head back, and revealed a small patch of skin below her throat.

Jiang Yang rubbed his thumb there twice, and could feel the pulse beating.

"Jiang Yang, your negative trending topic has finally dropped in the rankings." Zhang Ruonan glanced at her phone screen.

She had been following the hashtag that was trending on social media because of Jiang Yang's negative comments.

Finally, there is a downward trend.

This means that the hype surrounding this matter is finally dying down.

Gradually, no one will pay attention anymore.

Jiang Yang will no longer be scolded.

Suddenly, there was a loud cracking sound.

Jiang Yang slapped Zhang Ruonan on the buttocks.

Zhang Ruonan trembled slightly as the straps of her pajamas slipped down to her elbows, exposing one shoulder.

Jiang Yang lowered his head and kissed her collarbone, smelling a faint scent of sweat and shampoo.

She ran her fingers through his hair, gripping it a little tightly.

Pressing down on Zhang Ruonan's head, Zhang Ruonan had no way out and burrowed into the blankets.

Jiang Yang freed his hands, opened the Weibo trending topics, and muttered, "Zhong Shujia is no good. She made such a big fuss, but in the end, she still couldn't get my negative trending topic into the top ten."

Jiang Yang glanced at the trending topics list.

I guess they don't dare to push it any higher, otherwise it wouldn't be a matter of a million.

He could cry during negotiations; it would cost at least two million.

The top trending topic is: #BaoBeier'sWeddingPranksOnBridesmaids#
The content is that Bao Beier and Bao Wenjing held their wedding in Bali, and invited many celebrities to be their best man and bridesmaids.

What should have been a joyous occasion turned into a nightmare when Liu Yan, as a bridesmaid, was nearly thrown into the water by groomsmen Han Zi, Du Haitao, and Wang Zulan.

In the video, Liu Yan is wearing a deep V-neck gauze bridesmaid dress, which will inevitably expose her if she goes into the water.

The area was full of guests taking photos.

Finally, Jia Ling stepped forward to protect Liu Yan, preventing Liu Yan from being dragged into the mess.

The comments were full of sympathy for Liu Yan, praise for Jia Ling, and criticism of the groomsmen and Bao Beier.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Ruonan crawled out from under the covers, watched the video, and muttered, "Why is everyone criticizing Liu Yan for being sexually harassed?"

"Isn't it?"

"But at Bao Bei'er's wedding, even the best men were sexually harassed."

"What?"

Jiang Yang was stunned when he heard this.

Shouldn't a normal person curse those groomsmen a couple of times and then sympathize with Liu Yan?

Ruonan's perspective on this matter is so unique.

As soon as Zhang Ruonan woke up today, she checked the trending topics list and saw that this topic was already number one.

I also looked up other things about Belle Bao's wedding.

Clicking on a video that wasn't very popular, I saw the rehearsal the day before the wedding, where the bridesmaids and groomsmen brainstormed ideas to increase the buzz around Bao Beier's wedding.

First tease the best man, then tease the bridesmaid.

As the best man, Han Yi was subjected to kisses from Liu Yan, Jia Ling, and the other four bridesmaids, and his clothes were also ripped off.

In the video, Han Zi said embarrassedly, "Taking off my clothes is fine, but asking for a kiss or touching my lips should be okay, right?"

"No, it has to be a wet kiss!" a bridesmaid immediately responded.

And then all the bridesmaids had the same attitude.

Next, the bridesmaid pranks were planned, and Liu Yan was thrown into the pool according to the predetermined route.

It won't really get lost, because Jia Ling will sit by the pool and block it.

Followed by.

Zhang Ruonan clicked on another video.

It's a video taken by a guest on the wedding day, showing them teasing the best man.

Han Zi, wearing a shirt, was surrounded by bridesmaids.

With his clothes torn to shreds, Han Zi crossed his arms over his chest, bent over, and laughed as he begged for mercy: "That's too much, that's too much, you've made me look so pathetic."

The bridesmaids wouldn't let it go.

After stripping Han Jin naked, he hugged her and demanded a kiss.

It has to be a French kiss, otherwise Han Yi's pants will be pulled down too.

When you look at these videos together, the line that Jia Ling says when she stops Liu Yan from going into the water in the top trending video, "A red envelope and a kiss from best man Han Gui can solve everything," immediately makes sense.

Zhang Ruonan asked again, "Isn't everything going according to the rehearsal? Why is it that when we tease bridesmaid Liu Yan, we get accused of sexually harassing women, but when we tease best man Han Zi, no one says the women are sexually harassing men?"

Jiang Yang did not answer Zhang Ruonan's question.

He had no interest in that; he wasn't even familiar with Bao Beier.

Or maybe someday when I get to know Liu Yan better, I can ask her what happened.

Now we're getting down to business.

Jiang Yang's hand moved down, and through the fabric of his pajamas, he could feel the shape of his ribs, and then it became soft.

Zhang Ruonan suddenly took a breath, her abdomen tightening.

The blanket had long since slipped down to her waist.

Jiang Yang's palm was pressed against the outside of her thigh, where the skin was cooler than other parts of her body and felt as smooth as a freshly peeled egg.

"Ruonan, why did you specifically look for the full version of the video to watch?"

“Actually, I wasn’t like this before. I would just read whatever the news pushed or what was trending on social media, and I thought that was the truth.”

Zhang Ruonan closed her eyes slightly, her legs unconsciously coming together and then apart, her knees hitting Jiang Yang's legs.

Her toes curled up, creating tiny wrinkles on the sheets, and her voice trembled slightly: "You know, when I saw those words on the trending topics that day, I was so angry that I was shaking all over."

They accuse you of sexually harassing actresses and of abusing your power, yet they can't even produce a single decent piece of evidence.

Jiang Yang paused for a moment.

He didn't finish speaking.

Let Zhang Ruonan continue.

Actually, some of the comments in the trending topics are quite true.

The allegations of him sexually harassing actresses seem somewhat plausible.

Zhang Ruonan's nails dug into her palms: "What's most hateful is that I searched through the comments section and found that nobody cared about the truth. They're like sharks that smelled blood, they just want to tear you apart."

She grabbed Jiang Yang's hand and pressed it against her chest: "Every time I see those words, it hurts terribly here, a hundred times more than when I'm being scolded myself. The other day when I video chatted with you, I saw you on set pretending nothing was wrong, still chatting and laughing as usual, and it made me feel even worse."

So from now on, whenever I see a trending topic, I will ask myself three questions first: Where did the information come from?

Who benefits?
What footage is missing?
I want to be the one who can still see the truth even when everyone is pointing fingers at you.

She cupped Jiang Yang's face in her hands, her voice gradually lowering: "I want to remember all these real aspects of you, so that one day I won't be so foolish as to believe those lies online..."

Zhang Ruonan's words gradually weakened and slowed down.

She felt Jiang Yang kissing her ear.

Zhang Ruonan's hand slid down his back, her nails gently digging into his shoulder blade.

For the past few days, Jiang Yang has belonged to her alone.

She asked the same question she had asked yesterday morning: "Jiang Yang, what are you up to now?"

"want!"
