Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Gulnazar's last message read: ["The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune; it can make people arrogant, but it can also corrupt them. This industry is best at elevating people to a pedestal and then ruthlessly pulling them down. The only thing that can protect you is to always remember who you are and remember your original self."]
The high-speed train is almost to Hangzhou.

The view outside the window became increasingly detailed.

The ponds were one after another, sparkling clean.

Several beekeepers' tents were set up by the roadside, and swarms of bees buzzed around, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

On the distant tea mountain, the floral dresses of tea-picking girls appear and disappear among the green leaves.

Zhang Ruonan returned to school and lay on her bed in the dormitory that night. She opened Gulina's chat box again and read through her chat history with Gulina.

Especially the one where Gulnazar said she felt sorry for her.

Zhang Ruonan still felt a tightness in her chest.

Indescribable.

Although Chaoyue's parents are divorced, it doesn't affect their love for Chaoyue.

Zhou Ye grew up in a loving and materially abundant family.

Tian Xiwei has been very happy since childhood.

Although Hao Chun's parents were strict with her, they definitely loved her and never asked Hao Chun to earn any money to repay the family.

And that swearing old lady.

Her family background was even better than Zhou Ye's, and she grew up in an environment where she was not restricted.

However, her upbringing seemed out of place.

Do her parents love her?
There is.

Before her younger brother was born, before she earned money.

Back then, when she had a fever at night, her father would carry her to the hospital.

"No matter what others think, in my eyes, the foundation of a family will always be the economy. Money can buy kinship and love, even if it's corrupted."

But once family ties are measured in weight, it becomes difficult to truly appreciate their essence.

Even estranged family ties are still family ties.

Only Jiang Yang's kindness made her feel that her life was gradually changing for the better.

Despite having no blood relation, Jiang Yang felt like a true family member to her, even closer than her parents.

A light drizzle was falling outside.

Zhang Ruonan got out of bed, went to the balcony to collect her clothes, and also collected her roommate's clothes at the same time.

I chatted with my roommate for a few minutes.

Take a photo out of your bag.

Yesterday, Jiang Yang and I came from the Tianducheng film set and came to Dazhi Street. We took the photo at a photo booth on the side of the street.

There are clothes to choose from inside.

In the photo, she and Jiang Yang are both wearing blue and white striped school uniforms.

She leaned on Jiang Yang's shoulder.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

I've always envied Xiwei, who goes to the same school as Jiang Yang and walks to and from school together.

I also envy Chaoyue, who was the first artist Jiang Yang signed, and we even lived together for a while.

He envied Mai Mai even more, because as a child, she could freely act spoiled towards Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang would never blame her.

Then there's Hao Chun, whose solid dance background caught Jiang Yang's eye at first glance.

She was the only one who stood out among all the artists signed by Jiang Yang, so ordinary, her success entirely dependent on luck.

Send a message to Jiang Yang.

I noticed that Jiang Yang was currently on set teaching actors how to act, so I stopped talking to him.

I don't want to bother Jiang Yang.

Take out the autograph Gulnazar gave to her roommate and share it with her.

Amidst gasps and screams.

Zhang Ruonan climbed onto the bed
She took out a locked notebook.

Put this photo of her and Jiang Yang on the first page.

Then write down a paragraph:

[Jiang Yang, do you know? Sometimes I feel like an extra in Hengdian, earning the lowest pay but having to work the hardest. But I don't feel wronged at all, because you made me understand that in this industry, hard work is never about proving anything to anyone, but about being true to yourself.]

I will learn to be a good person first, just like you taught me, before I learn to act.

I ate the boxed lunch that the extras handed me carefully.

I accepted the notice from the stage manager with both hands.

I kept my head down and took notes when the director yelled at people.

Lacking the confidence my parents gave me, I toughened myself up.
The sound of rain outside the window gradually increased.

The roommates were still basking in the joy of getting Gulnazar's autograph while leaning against Zhang Ruonan.

Take a photo and post it to QQ Space. Post it to WeChat Moments.

Post on Weibo.

Send it to the class group.

She vowed to be Zhang Ruonan's sister for life.

Help Zhang Ruonan refute those negative comments on Weibo.

Even the class group chat suddenly became lively, with everyone tagging Zhang Ruonan and asking her to bring autographs from other celebrities next time.

Earlier, when Zhang Ruonan returned to the classroom, she saw a bunch of people asking her to take photos with them, saying that she was just pretending to be a girl and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhang Ruonan, who was originally an invisible person in the class, suddenly became the leader. She was still a little unaccustomed to this process.

Her handwriting became increasingly clear:
[Gulnazar said, "The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, but I insist on living it as a training ground."]

I am not arrogant, I do not compare myself to others, and I do not look down on anyone who works harder than me.

Because I know that you were the one who bent down and helped up that nobody who was ignored by everyone back then.

You once said that a good actor should learn to turn scars into medals.

Let all the grievances I've endured over the years be transformed into the strength to move forward.

One day, I will show everyone how steadfast and upright the artists you, Jiang Yang, have trained are.

It's okay if I don't have my parents' love; your trust is enough.

I, Zhang Ruonan, will walk this path even on my knees; I will never disgrace you.
After finishing writing, I closed the book.

Lock it.

As I placed the locked notebook on my lap, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the muscles on both sides.

Zhang Ruonan reopened the notebook and wrote two more sentences:
"Not only do my thighs hurt, but my throat is hoarse too. You'd better be gentler next time, or I'll turn into a White Rabbit candy, melt and stick to you."
I opened my chat history with Gulnazar again.

Suddenly, she remembered what Gulnazar had said when she took her to Hengdian Station.

Naza said that when she first debuted, she was just as impulsive as she is now, and she would speak out against injustices, like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Ask her if she knows what the next line is.

What's the next sentence?

Zhang Ruonan searched and found the following sentence on the webpage:
After growing horns, they became afraid of wolves.

Zhang Ruonan was taken aback at first, then stunned.

"From her youthful arrogance at the beginning, it's only been a few years, but now she's cautious and prudent. What has Nazha been through?"

"I won't do that again... Will I?"

The next day.

early morning.

Who doesn't sleep in on weekends?

Tian Xiwei was lying in bed, fast asleep, when she suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe. She opened her mouth wide and tried to breathe, only to find that her nose was being pinched by her younger sister: "Sister, it's eight o'clock. Let's go to KFC. Take me with you. Come on, come on."

"I'll count to three!" Tian Xi glared angrily at her younger sister.

The younger sister let go: "You said last night that you would take me to KFC today."

"Didn't I tell you beforehand that you have to knock before entering my room?" Tian Xiwei asked in her hometown dialect.

The younger sister left the room and closed the door.

Gently knock on the door: "Sister, open the door..."

"No way, I'm still sleepy!"

"KFC..." came the younger sister's timid voice from outside the door.

"roll!"

Turn over.

Pulling the covers up, Tian Xi muttered impatiently, "So annoying, so early in the morning."

The cell phone rings.

Tian Xi let out a slightly annoyed "Ugh," thinking it was a call from one of her classmates, and picked up her phone to take a look.

Jiangyang.

Tian Xi answered the call in a second: "Jiang Yang, you'd better have something important to say, my little sister just really bothered me."

Jiang Yang's voice rang out from inside: "Xiwei, are you able to get leave from Hengdian? Your scheduled work with the crew is coming up soon."

Hear the words.

Tian Xi paused for a moment, then sat up in bed: "I can get leave!"

She added, "Can I come a day later? Is the announcement urgent?"

"It's okay if it's a few days later, I just wanted to let you know, what's up?"

"I'm going to treat my sister to KFC." (End of Chapter)
