Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Jiang Yang was too lazy to chat with Bai Lu any longer.

Will Bai Lu reveal his secret?

Jiang Yang believed that he wouldn't tell outsiders.

But if Bai Lu didn't speak up in front of Ruonan, Chaoyue, Xiwei, Haochun, and the others, the paparazzi's heart would be in unbearable pain.

The street outside the window, with its beautifully set scenery, exudes the warmth of a nighttime performance.

Jiang Yang looked up and saw Bai Lu carrying a bulging canvas bag and a folding chair, walking towards the filming area.

Zhong Shujia's voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "This time, everyone return to your positions. You Rong, give me some more emotional engagement."

"Tolerance?"

Bai Lu was slightly taken aback when she heard the voice from the executive director's walkie-talkie next to her.

Reacted immediately.

"Mingyi Yourong" is the nickname Gulnazar uses in this drama.

Off-screen, Zhong Shujia calls Gulnazar "Nazha," while the other executive directors, on-set producers, and lighting assistants call her "Teacher Nazha."

But once they start rehearsing or waiting to film, all they do is call out the names of the characters in the movie.

Guan Luhan called Chen Changsheng.

When Chaoyue starts filming, he will be called Mo Yu.

Guan Xiwei calls him Bai Ke, and Guan Haochun calls him Little Black Dragon.

She noticed they were starting to film again. A guard carrying a torch walked towards her. Just as Bai Lu dodged him, she heard the on-site producer at the end of the street shine a laser pointer in her direction and shout, "Hey you, Teacher Jiang's assistant, get dressed!"

"Sorry!" Bai Lu quickly slipped into an empty room to the side, stepped over the threshold, made sure she wouldn't be in the picture, and unfolded the folding chair.

Wearing it means being exposed.

When I first heard it, I thought it was something being worn.

These film crew slang terms are so easy to understand now.

"The character Jiang Yang will be playing later, what's his name again? Oh right, it's Qiushan-kun!"

I've heard Chao Yue and Ruo Nan say many times that Jiang Yang's acting skills are exceptional.

That makes sense.

Otherwise, the production team wouldn't have spent so much money to hire Jiang Yang as an acting coach to specifically teach Nazha and Lu Han.

They've even taken Nazha to bed.

Naza is five years older than Jiang Yang, so it's unclear who's taking advantage of whom.

Just how good is Jiang Yang's acting?
I really want to witness it with my own eyes.

Bai Lu took out her phone and sent a message to Jiang Yang: ["I've finished editing my Weibo post, do you want me to show it to you?"]
Jiang Yang replied: [“Just send it directly; I doubt you'll say anything nice about it.”]
Jiang Yang's message has just been sent.

The phone vibrates.

I received a message notification.

Bai Lu posted on Weibo.

There are two pictures.

One photo shows Gulnazar helping Jiang Yang put on his costume in her RV.

It looks like they secretly took the photo by hiding their phone in the sofa cushions; even Jiang Yang didn't notice at the time.

The second photo shows the extras lining up to receive breakfast distributed in Jiang Yang's name.

Bai Lu got it from Gulinazha's assistant, Xiao Jing.

The content is:
[I'm Bai Lu, Jiang Yang's assistant, a former SM trainee, Taobao model, and extra in Hengdian World Studios. Today, I want to use my experience to speak a few honest words for my boss.]
Jiang Yang frowned slightly upon seeing just the first line.

really.

Bai Lu's words are exaggerated. When did she become an SM trainee? She's clearly a candidate.

I've never actually worked as an extra; I just have an actor's certificate.

Jiang Yang continued reading:

[Trending topic: Jiang Yang bullied extras?]
I personally witnessed him cooking instant noodles for the crew members who were working late into the night, and distributing breakfast to the extras. The extras shouted "Thank you, Teacher Jiang!"

His stunned expression was impossible to fake.

This person doesn't even know he's done a good deed.

I used to be a model. I would wear summer clothes to shoot in the winter and I would be shivering from the cold, but I would only earn 200 yuan.

After I became an extra, it was Jiang Yang who gave me the opportunity to change my fate. He pulled me out of that situation, paid me, taught me how to recognize fly pages, and taught me lighting techniques. Now I can understand all the industry slang used in film crews.

He taught me to see the dark side of the industry, yet he still respected those at the bottom. Would someone like that act tough in front of extras?
Jiang Yang wrote a song for me called "The Lone Warrior." The lyrics were terrifying, but I know I'm not suited to singing. If I were to sing it, I would ruin the song. So I returned the song to Jiang Yang. When Jiang Yang sings it someday, you'll all know his talent.

Does a boss like this need to bully extras to gain a sense of importance?
Jiang Yang read each word carefully.

Sigh of relief.

Bai Lu didn't reveal any secrets.

Refreshing the page, there's already a comment: [Sister, wake up! Cooking instant noodles at dawn and you call yourself a good boss? You've been successfully tamed. He pays you a salary because you're worth it, not because he's doing charity.]
The number of followers has increased by more than twenty, reaching 30,100.

Refresh the page again.

The number of followers has increased to 30,110.

They are all real fans.

Jiang Yang sent a message: ["I've read your Weibo post, you paparazzi. Are you prepared to be scolded?"]
Bai Lu replied: [“What are you afraid of? As long as you gain followers, that's all that matters. All this criticism is for you. If there's any gossip in the entertainment industry, be sure to tell me immediately.”]
The message about White Dew was sent.

From the filming area, the assistant director shouted, "Okay, that take is perfect! There's only one half-hour of footage left, a scene between Qiushan-kun and Nazha-laoshi..."

The actors returned to their original positions.

Gulnazar watched the playback on the monitor, chatted with Zhong Shujia for a few words, sat on the folding chair, lowered her eyes, maintained her character state, and remained silent.

Xiao Jing, standing to the side, held up a small electric fan to blow air on Gulnazar.

Bai Lu continued to message Jiang Yang: ["Actually, in the Weibo post I just made, I deleted one sentence, which was this: 'Those who spread rumors, have you ever seen my boss teaching Nazha acting until his voice was hoarse?' Should I add it back?"]
I received a red envelope from Jiang Yang.

Bai Lu immediately retracted the message and then edited the text: [“I’ve kept this to myself, no one can possibly know!”]
Open Jiang Yang's red envelope.

Received 0.01 yuan.

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment: ["You're really stingy, Qiushan-kun. Are you done yet? Nazha's rehearsal is over, it's your turn."]
Jiang Yang replied: ["Come here, get my phone."]
Bai Lu got up and walked towards the RV. She saw Jiang Yang walking towards her in Qiu Shan Jun's costume around the corner.

She was about to wave.

The raised hand suddenly stopped.

Jiangyang has changed.

Jiang Yang's usual lazy and sluggish gait was gone; every step he took was measured precisely, with the toes of his boots just touching the hem of his clothes.

The jade pendant at her waist remained completely still.

The lines from the back of his neck to his lumbar spine were taut and straight. When he looked up at Bai Lu, his gaze was fixed on the bridge of her nose.

It's the unfocused look in Akiyama-kun's eyes when he plays a dying man.

She still had Jiang Yang's figure and facial features, but her temperament was completely different from usual.

"Is this really my boss?"

Bai Lu gripped the backpack strap tightly, suddenly feeling that Jiang Yang had become a stranger.

He was completely different from the boss I remembered.

Is he playing Akiyama-kun, or is Akiyama-kun playing him? (End of Chapter)
