Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"You son of a bitch!" Jiang Yang cursed his mother, "He's such a nice person, why does he have to have a mouth?"

Jiang Yang pinched Bai Lu's mouth shut, pried it open, stuffed the steamed bun inside, and then plugged it again.

Then he pressed Bailu's head down, making her lie on her side in his arms.

She covered Bailu's mouth and wouldn't let go for a moment.

She has a good appearance and temperament, but unfortunately she has a mouth. As long as she doesn't speak, she would be a good assistant.

After a short while, Jiang Yang released Bai Lu and said seriously, "Can't you just shut up for a bit? Mai Mai isn't always this noisy."

"It's boring if you don't talk."

"You're a perfect match for Zhao Jinmai. I'll introduce you to her sometime."

Jiang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you read a book? It will help you calm down."

“Then let me see that book,” Bai Lu said matter-of-factly.

"Can you even stand it?"

"I'm sure I can understand the books you show me."

"Okay, wait."

Jiang Yang never carries books in his pocket, but he does have a few e-books on his phone.

They are all online novels.

We must not let Bailu see this.

Unlike later generations, online novels these days are not strictly regulated; the scope of content is much wider now.

Bai Lu is learning everything at once, and who knows what kind of witty remarks she'll make? Before you know it, she'll be leading the other young women in the company astray.

During a break in filming, Jiang Yang went to the main filming area: "Old Zhong, do you have any books?"

"How many times have I told you, refer to your official title in public!" Zhong Shujia glared at Jiang Yang.

"I guess you're someone who doesn't read books either."

Jiang Yang was annoyed, so he turned around and left without giving Zhong Shujia any face.

The crew was full of roughnecks; who would carry a serious book with them?

Yang Chaoyue did bring one; it was a comic book called "A Shuai's Diary".

It cannot be shown to Bailu.

Bai Lu is full of mischievous ideas; if she were to actually imitate A Shuai, she would surely destroy him.

Raising these girls is really troublesome.

Rather than calling him a boss, it's more accurate to say he's the patriarch of a family.

Worried about this and that.

Sometimes I really want to just commit all my sins and get rid of everything.

"Who says I don't read books? In our time, everyone carried a few books with them, and that habit continues to this day. Unlike you young people, who are always glued to your phones. Those experts online who say that you 90s generation are a lost generation are right."

As Zhong Shujia spoke, he turned the horse-drawn carriage over.

Does Old Zhong really have books?

Jiang Yang sat down on the folding chair next to him: "Old Zhong, if you put it that way, then I'll be sick tomorrow and won't be able to come to the team."

"The experts online are spouting nonsense. What's wrong with you 90s kids? Chao Yue and Xi Wei acted so well! Bai Lu is so studious; she even reported my driver for stealing gas last time. And you, Jiang Yang..."

"Hmm, what about me?"

"That's enough already. I'm the director, praising your company's artists is already giving you a lot of face."

Done.

He tossed a book into Jiang Yang's arms.

Jiang Yang was delighted to hear this.

Old Zhong may be shrewd, but he's quite interesting to chat with.

Can take a joke.

It's not a big structure.

Unlike Huang Lei, who had to be pampered and occasionally had to eat some of the delicious food he came up with on a whim.

To be honest, Chef Huang's cooking skills are excellent.

The home-style dishes are excellent.

He, Chaoyue, Xiwei, MaiMai, and HaoChun all tried it, and the cooking was better than most restaurants.

The problem is that Huang Lei likes to experiment with unusual cuisines.

Jiang Yang took the book from Zhong Shujia.

It has a plain-colored cover.

It's not thick.

He asked, "What book?"

"It's an old book, from a bygone era."

"From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavors Study?"

“Books on strategy are definitely useful, and it’s a good thing to enjoy reading.” Zhong Shujia got down to business: “Jiang Yang, the clarification video the production team sent you is trending on social media. Do you have time to respond to it?”

Jiang Yang put the book in his pocket and took out his phone: "I'll post a Weibo right now."

"No rush, let the buzz build up a bit more before you respond."

Zhong Shujia laughed and said, "Remember, be sure to include the name of the drama the crew is filming. Okay, go ahead and do your work, I'm about to start filming."

After chatting with Zhong Shujia.

Jiang Yang arrived at Bai Lu's place and found her sitting on a small stool, leaning against the door frame of the wooden house, dozing off.

His spine was hunched. His arms hung down to the ground.

The wisp of hair at the very top of her bun rose and fell with her breath.

Her sleeping posture was far from aesthetically pleasing.

Jiang Yang took off his coat and had just draped it over Bai Lu when she woke up: "Huh? Oh, I was asleep?"

"How about we sleep in the RV?"

"The RV the crew rented is too small, I can't even stretch my legs out. Get me an RV like Nazha's, then I'll sleep in it..."

Bai Lu spoke more and more slowly.

Because she noticed that Jiang Yang's expression had changed.

She silently took out the steamed bun that Jiang Yang had used to gag her earlier from her pocket: "I was too talkative, too talkative again."

After saying that, he obediently stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and blocked it.

Jiang Yang was both amused and exasperated. He handed the book he had borrowed from Zhong Shujia to Bai Lu and said, "Read more books when you have free time. The knowledge you gain will always be yours. Don't just think about sleeping all day long. Look at the crew, who doesn't work diligently? How can you be so lazy and sleep?"

After saying these words, he scolded Bai Lu.

Jiang Yang went to the filming area and pretended to chat with the assistant director. When he realized that Bai Lu wasn't looking in his direction, he went back to the RV to sleep.

He set all the rules for the company's employees.

The boss never follows the rules.

Bai Lu dozed off for a while, then woke up and hugged Jiang Yang's coat.

The scene between Xiwei and Chaoyue included a confrontation between the two.

Bai Lu looked at it carefully.

When Nan Ke, played by Tian Xiwei, first showed signs of nervousness, the people's reactions were deliberately slowed down.

All of this was done under the arrangement of the assistant director.

The peasant woman stopped shouting and did not immediately dodge.

The scholar put down his fan and peeked out.

The peddler pushed his cart back two steps, his movements hesitant.

As the two began filming action scenes and the martial arts instructor joined in, the extras and civilians also entered a state of panic.

The peasant woman threw down her vegetable basket and squatted on the ground.

The scholar hid behind a willow tree, only showing half his face.

The peddler, pushing his cart in a panic, crashes into a corner of the wall, creating a sense of gradual escalation that complements the rhythm of Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue's performance.

It seems that Xiwei and Chaoyue are the main characters in this drama.

In reality, without the support of these extras, the effect of this scene would be greatly diminished.

She recalled a sentence Jiang Yang had once told her about the filming process: "Filming is like fighting a war. The lead actors are the generals charging on the front lines, while the extras are the logistics soldiers supporting the entire battle. Without supplies and ammunition, even the best general cannot win a battle. Without the support of the extras, even the best lead actor cannot deliver a good performance."

Watch the scene that Xiwei and Chaoyue filmed.

Thoughtful.

I feel like I've learned something, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

It's probably because of a lack of practical experience.

She then remembered that Jiang Yang had given her a book earlier.

Opening the plain-colored cover, the title page bears four large characters: "The Art of War by Sun Tzu".

"Wasn't Jiang Yang supposed to teach me acting? Why is he showing me military strategy instead?"

Bai Lu paused, taken aback.

On second thought, she understood Jiang Yang's intention: "Never mind, the boss asked me to learn it, so it must be useful. I'll just learn it."

There are many scenes to film today.

Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue were exhausted.

Jiang Yang wasn't tired at all.

Because her role wasn't demanding today, Tian Xiwei needed some initial guidance, but she quickly got into character and mastered the essentials of playing the role of Nan Ke by dinnertime.

There's no important plot point, so there's no need for him to teach them step by step.

The film crew rented the RV for 1,200 yuan, which wasn't expensive, and included a driver.

The expensive part is the cost of fuel.

I understand everything I understand.

The RV was very small, with no bed but a sofa. Jiang Yang had to sleep with his legs bent. When he woke up, his legs were very sore, and there were red marks on half of his face from being pressed down.

Take a look at the attribute panel.

I received four message notifications.

[Under your care, Tian Xiwei's acting skills have improved, and you have received corresponding feedback.]

The next two messages are the same.

The fourth one is the only one related to White Dew.

[Under your care, Bailu's mastery of military strategy has improved, and you have received corresponding feedback.]

"What the hell!"

Jiang Yang stared in disbelief.

Didn't we tell Bai Lu to learn from Xi Wei and Chao Yue on set?

Why is this girl studying military strategy instead of acting?! (End of Chapter)
