Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"Let me see."

Jiang Yang tiptoed out of bed and peered through the peephole.

He opened the door and found that there was indeed no one outside, so he closed the door.

It's certain that it will ruin the atmosphere, but I really can't rest easy if I don't do it.

Once bitten, twice shy.

He took out his phone and texted Bai Lu: "Where are you, Bai Lu, you paparazzi?"
Bai Lu replied: ["I came back with the film crew after work. I took the guild bus back."]
Jiang Yang gave her this identity, which allowed her to observe freely within the group, and she made the most of every opportunity.

You can ride in the film crew's van or Nazha's RV.

These past two days, Bai Lu has insisted on taking the guild's actors' bus.

They said they wanted to experience what it's like when the actors finish work.

However, Jiang Yang knew this.

It's highly likely that Bai Lu couldn't find any gossip on set, so she turned her attention to the actors in the guild.

Bai Lu sent another message: ["Yesterday I rode on the bus for regular extras, today I rode on the bus for background actors. I noticed the atmosphere was different. The bus for regular extras was lively, with many people chatting, while the buses for background actors hardly interacted at all."]
Jiang Yang edited the text: [“I asked you, where are you?”]
Bai Lu replied: ["I'm in the makeup room on set, helping the makeup artist with the hairpieces... Look at the photos I took of Bamian Mountain today, they're beautiful. They were taken after exiting the Film Avenue tunnel, on the other side of the bridge."]
Looking at the photo Bai Lu sent, Jiang Yang fell into deep thought.

Where is the beauty?
Hengdian's Bamian Mountain is so tall and majestic, yet it was turned into a tourist attraction. However, in Bai Lu's photos, it looks as tall as an ordinary residential building.

Jiang Yang actually laughed at it.

Before Jiang Yang could type, Bai Lu called him on video.

Jiang Yang hung up the phone the moment it rang for a second.

Bailu sent a message: ["Why won't you answer my video call?"]
Jiang Yang replied guiltily, "It's inconvenient."
[“What are you doing? Is it inconvenient? You're my boss, I need to report my learning progress to you.”] Bai Lu sent a message.

Jiang Yang edited the message: [“Xiwei is coming soon. Her character's biography isn't well-developed enough. I'll help her…”]
I just typed this far and then something felt off.

That's completely reversed.

He's the boss, so what is he explaining to Bailu?
Go against Tiangang!

If it were Ruonan, she would never treat him like that.

Bailu and Ruonan are best friends, so why can't Bailu be as obedient as Ruonan?

[“Do I need to explain to you what I’m doing? If you keep asking about the boss’s private affairs, I’ll deduct your salary and double the amount of my overtime pay…”] Jiang Yang re-edited the text.

Before I could send it, I felt Gulnazar lean against me from behind.

With her chest pressed against Jiang Yang's and her chin resting on his shoulder, she glanced at his phone screen and said, "Don't send messages to Bai Lu like that. She's actually very sensitive."

"She's sensitive? She's very outgoing on set."

"That was Bailu's act. I'm a girl, I know."

When women look at each other, their gaze can sometimes penetrate all the most exquisite disguises.

Jiang Yang turned around and lowered his head.

Their noses brushed together, and they kissed.

He reached out to try to unbutton Gulnazar's shirt, but found that this time, Gulnazar didn't stop him. Instead, she cupped his face with one hand and wrapped her other arm around his neck.

Just a moment ago, I told him not to rush.

Now it seems they're willing.

Women who have been through the ups and downs of society are truly hard to fathom.

Even the smallest thing can change her mind.

Unlike the pretty 18-year-old girls in college, whose thoughts are all similar, simple and naive.

"Jiang Yang, don't blame Bai Lu, okay?" Gu Linaza raised her hand and pressed down on her shirt.

Jiang Yang deleted the line he was about to send to Bai Lu:

"Nazha, why are you protecting Bai Lu? Did you know her before?"

"do not know."

Gulnazar smiled and said, "I just think that this girl is very energetic in everything she does, and she likes to laugh. Every time I see her laugh, I laugh along with her. Um, Jiang Yang, do you remember the accident on set yesterday?"

"According to Lao Zhong, one of the extras had his foot run over by a horse-drawn carriage."

Jiang Yang wasn't present at the time, but he knew about it.

This is quite rare on film sets. Because extras are generally not in danger and serve as background figures.

Even the smallest action scene with a single shot will be handled by stuntmen.

But there are still unexpected events.

Yesterday, he was giving Lu Han acting instructions when the script supervisor mentioned this, and he also inquired with other actors on set.

The extras' positions were supposed to be fixed, one meter away from the carriage.

But somehow...

Perhaps the message wasn't delivered properly, perhaps the horses were startled, or perhaps the coachman didn't hold the reins properly, but the extra walked towards the carriage.

Fortunately, only the sole of his foot was run over by the wheel.

If you get kicked by a horse, that's a serious matter, because the horses rented by film crews are usually very tall and strong, so that they look good on camera.

The medical expenses were definitely paid by the production team, and they also lost money.

Generally speaking, the compensation is the cost of ten days' worth of labor.

The price for a regular extra is 150 yuan, which is 1500 yuan.

Zhong Shujia directly compensated him with a month's wages, rounded it up to five thousand yuan, and then called a meeting with all the department leaders to repeatedly emphasize the importance of safety.

It's okay to spend more money renting horses, but you must rent experienced horses with gentle temperaments.

Safety is of utmost importance.

This money absolutely cannot be saved.

On that day, each actor received an extra third of their hourly rate, and they all left happily when it was time to leave.

Gulnazar's voice softened: "When she was taken to the hospital, Bai Lu accompanied her the whole time."

Jiang Yang laughed and said, "She just wanted to secretly take pictures to see if there was anything interesting."

“I know what you mean. It’s true that Bai Lu likes to take photos secretly, but she has never taken photos of me secretly. Her carefree attitude is actually mostly an act.”

"Did Bai Lu really not take any photos of Nazha secretly?" Jiang Yang wondered to himself.

They definitely took the photos secretly; Nazha just didn't know it.

Even his boss, Bai Lu, wasn't spared, so how could he possibly let Nazha off the hook?

Gulnazar continued, "But her kindness to the lower-level people in the crew is also genuine. She tried to learn how to use the clapperboard as a script supervisor, but she couldn't get it right no matter how long she tried. When she saw an extra fall to the ground, she was more anxious than anyone else."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly: "If I had been half as dedicated and half as hardworking as she was back then, I wouldn't have squandered such a good opportunity and ended up with this kind of reputation, which is why people have this stereotype of me."

With care?

effort?

Are you referring to the White Dew solar term?
Jiang Yang was slightly taken aback. Upon careful consideration, Bai Lu's behavior over the past few days seemed to confirm this.

It's inevitable that I'll ask him for all sorts of gossip from time to time.

However, everyone can see her positive attitude towards learning; there's absolutely no need to urge her.

I remember Ruonan saying that.

Bai Lu initially signed with her company intending to simply relax and do nothing.

My daily routine consists of lying still and focusing on breathing.

It's only been a few days.

No matter how hard you try, you can still rival Hao Chun.

"Another girl whose words and actions don't match," Jiang Yang thought to himself. "Just like Bai Lu said she would never take pictures of me secretly again, but she definitely won't do it."

Gulnazar stopped pressing down on her shirt.

She grabbed Jiang Yang's hand and placed it on her burning cheek, her last few words trembling with emotion: "She's only two years younger than me. I need to protect her. I don't want her to lose her passion for this industry someday. I don't want this circle to turn her into a second me."

At this critical juncture, Jiang Yang couldn't hear anything.

With a flick of his finger.

Gulnazar's shirt slipped down silently.

Piled up on the plush carpet. (End of Chapter)
