Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

When the enemy's sword came down, Bai Lu didn't even see the other person's face clearly.

Immerse yourself in the role.

I felt a sharp pain in my back.

The strength was instantly drained from my body.

The sugar painting stick in my hand fell onto the bluestone slab.

Sugar crumbs from the skewer shattered on the ground, mixed with splattered blood droplets, and the sweet, metallic smell filled my nostrils.

My vision started to blur.

The first thing I saw was the hem of an extra's costume as they ran frantically in the distance.

There were blue headscarves left behind by women and cloth tigers dropped by children, which looked just like the way the neighbors fled for their lives when their hometown was hit by a disaster when they were young.

The parents of the little girl Xiaoyue, whom she played, were also like that back then.

He grabbed her hand and ran desperately, but in the end, they still couldn't outrun the natural disaster.

Now, my elder brother is gone too.

Even the only jade pendant had rolled away and disappeared; his fingertips were empty, with only blood-stained sand remaining.

“My brother is not a good-for-nothing, nor am I. I have a bright future…” Bai Lu opened her mouth, her voice so soft it was almost a whisper. The blood she coughed up clung to the corners of her mouth, making the final syllable of the word “bright” sound broken and indistinct.

The arm was still stretched forward, as if trying to grab something.

Is it the jade pendant that rolled away, or something else?
It leaves it to the audience's imagination.

The moment her fingertips touched a crumb of sugar painting, they drooped limply.

Getting into a good school is difficult, becoming an idol is difficult, and playing this role well is also difficult.

Like now, she knows perfectly well that she's about to die.

The so-called "bright future" is nothing but an empty phrase in chaotic times, but I still want to say it.

It was meant for the older brother in the drama, whose name wasn't even recorded on the list of the dead.

It's also a message to the part of myself that's constantly being rejected in reality.

The shouts of battle in the distance grew fainter and fainter.

All I could hear was my own faint breathing.

When heard through the radio, it's like a candle flame flickering in the wind, seemingly about to go out at any moment—just right.

With her last glance, Bai Lu imagined the character Xiao Yue she was playing, and seemed to see her brother standing in front of the cloth shop not far away, holding a piece of red cloth in his hand, smiling and saying to her, "Little sister, after I finish the war, I will take you home to buy sugar figurines."

She wanted to laugh, but could only manage a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth; the blood and foam on it made her smile look somewhat sinister: "My future is limitless..."

Bai Lu recited the last line of her lines, her lips no longer trembling.

The tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally streamed down her cheeks.

After that, there was no further movement.

The scene was quiet.

The actors and staff who had left the stage gazed at Bai Lu.

The special guest actor, wearing armor, took off his helmet, revealing a forehead covered in sweat, and looked at Bailu with admiration.

The actress playing the woman in the extras, still clutching the blue headscarf that had just fallen off, whispered, "Teacher Bai Lu's lines just now, oh my god, gave me goosebumps. She acted much better than at the beginning."

Liu Haochun was already sitting silently by the monitor, staring at it.

I want to see how well I've helped Bailu.

Will we be able to successfully complete the task assigned by Jiang Yang?

Hearing Guo Jianyong say from the side, "That's enough, that's enough. Bai Lu's emotions are still there, we can continue filming and give the post-production team more editing material."

Liu Haochun asked softly, "Director, um..."

"Hmm? Haochun, what's up?" Guo Jianyong took off his headphones.

Liu Haochun pursed his lips: "Did Bai Lu perform well this time?" "Perfect! One take! Especially, especially good."

"really?"

Would I joke about something like this?

Guo Jianyong chuckled, took the megaphone out of the carriage, turned it on, and handed it to Liu Haochun: "Haochun, you announce that Bai Lu's scenes are completely over."

Hear the words.

Liu Haochun was taken aback.

I understand what Guo Jianyong means.

She excitedly took the megaphone, cleared her throat, and shouted out the name of the character Bai Lu played: "Xiao Yue, filming wrapped!"

Then he called out Bai Lu's name: "Teacher Bai Lu, filming's wrapped up!!!"

The once quiet film set became noisy.

Bai Lu dazedly got up, staring at the jade pendant that the prop master had picked up not far away, still somewhat bewildered.

No one around her paid any attention to her.

Everyone was busy with their own things.

Then, a crew member from outside the set carried in two cases of drinks: "Teacher Bai Lu has finished filming, and Jiang Yang is treating everyone to drinks. Everyone gets some, not just those on set, but even the extras! Pepsi, Sprite, milk tea, and more!!!"

Everyone immediately looked towards the city gate.

Beside two cheerful stagehands carrying drinks, Jiang Yang, also carrying a case, wearing a t-shirt and covered in sweat, shouted at Guo Jianyong, "If I had known Hao Chun could train Bai Lu so well, I shouldn't have come. It's so hot! Director, aren't you hot?"

"It's hot, hahaha." Guo Jianyong laughed heartily.

Jiang Yang's meaning was immediately clear.

They said they shouldn't have come, but actually they came to support Bailu.

They're probably still upset about how he was mean to Bai Lu.

Guo Jianyong, holding a megaphone, shouted: "It's so hot! Everyone's worked so hard. Go get some drinks, don't be shy! Hurry up, or there won't be any left. Some bastards will definitely try to drink two drinks each. Everyone, thank Teacher Bailu!!"

Liu Haochun had already stood up, smiling at Jiang Yang with his hands behind his back.

"It's too heavy, come and help me, you two."

Jiang Yang shouted at Liu Haochun and Yang Chaoyue.

"Coming!" Liu Haochun immediately ran over.

Yang Chaoyue acted as if he were deaf and didn't hear anything, looking down at his phone.

Jiang Yang and Liu Haochun only realized that Yang Chaoyue had infiltrated the "God of War Zhao Zilong" crew's group chat when they brought over the drinks.

White Dew is also included.

After filming wrapped, Guo Jianyong took the lead in sending red envelopes in the group chat.

The amount was small, only ten yuan.

The person who grabs the most passes the baton, and the relay continues.

In just a short while, Yang Chaoyue had grabbed four or five red envelopes, totaling a full two yuan.

"Thank you for the drink, Teacher Bailu!!"

Happy wrap-up day, Teacher Bailu!

"Thank you, Teacher Bailu! Teacher Bailu acted so well!!"

The shouts abruptly pulled Bai Lu out of her immersion in the role.

I took out my phone and quickly started recording a video.

It’s so face-saving!
She opened WeChat, sent a message to her mother, and added a sentence: ["Mom, filming for my role has wrapped up. Let me tell you, it was so tough."] (End of Chapter)
