Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

She hadn't been eating for long when Yang Chaoyue heard someone outside calling her: "Yueyue, are you done with the college entrance exam?"

Aunt Wang, Yang Chaoyue's neighbor, returned from fishing. Wearing a jacket, she passed by and glanced at Yang Chaoyue's house, giving him a greeting.

"Yes, Aunt Wang, let's go home."

"I went back, but I didn't catch many fish."

Aunt Wang chuckled and asked, "How did the exam go?"

"I didn't do well on the exam, I didn't do well on the exam. My brain is not cut out for studying. Actually, what I'm best at is screwing screws in at the factory."

As they were talking, Yang Chaoyue pulled Aunt Wang into the house.

Two more bowls and chopsticks were added.

She usually travels with Jiang Yang to other places, leaving only her father in her hometown, who needs the help of neighbors.

She became famous, made money, and gained a reputation in the village. Everyone would respectfully say a few words to her father when they saw him.

It looks prestigious.

Who knows, someone might be secretly hoping she falls.

Yang Ge once said that it's true that human nature is inherently good, and it's also true that human nature is inherently evil.

Between good and evil lies a gray area.

I heard Yang mention it casually when we were having dinner in Hengdian a while ago.

Tian Xiwei was getting impatient: "Just eat, why are you talking about reason? Jiang Yang, you look old like this, you know? You're acting like you're over thirty."

Judging from Tian Xiwei's reaction, it was clear that she hadn't understood Jiang Yang's meaning.

She understood.

Having spent some years in the lower classes, I've come to understand that people have many facets and cannot be simply categorized as good or evil.

No matter how complex human nature is, as long as her father is still alive, her mother is still alive, her younger sister can study hard, and the lights in the house are still on, she has nothing to fear.

Before, Aunt Wang and Daddy were just ordinary neighbors. But after she signed with Jiangyang Company and things got better and better, it became obvious that Aunt Wang's family and Daddy became more and more familiar with each other.

the most important is.

Yang Chaoyue could sense it.

Aunt Wang was very eager to know about her progress so she could tell the other villagers, which would make her look good.

She was often not in her hometown, so Aunt Wang had to ask her father for directions.

This time, I specially invited Aunt Wang to dinner, both to strengthen the bond between neighbors.

There is another very important reason.

Through Aunt Wang's big mouth, the news that she came out of the exam room and appeared on TV could be spread.

Hearing her mother laugh, "You didn't do well on the exam? Didn't you say you were going to get into Tsinghua or Peking University?" Yueyue thought.

"I was just bragging, Mom."

"I knew it, hahaha."

Mom served Yang Chaoyue a bowl of soup, tossed him a bone with meat on it, and then gave it to the family's big yellow dog. Only then did she realize that the dog wasn't in its kennel: "Where's the dog?"

"He's probably out eating shit and hasn't come back yet."

"Chaoyue, you'd better be careful next time. If your boss comes to your house again, you'd better keep the dog away from him. It likes to lick people and can't get rid of its habit of eating poop."

"I know, I know."

Yang Chaoyue laughed as he listened.

My mother's reminder was completely unnecessary.

Mom continued, "It doesn't matter whether you do well on the exam or not. As long as you have food and drink, that's enough."

"Yes, yes."

Aunt Wang laughed along, "Chaoyue will definitely do well on the exam. He's worked so hard. We'll just wait for the results to come out and then he can fill out his college application. When my child was filling out his college application, I was also anxious for no reason. But I later realized that he knew what he was doing. Chaoyue is a steady child. He's always been able to sit still since he was little. Back then, he was doing his homework at the alley entrance. My dog ​​even tried to steal his notebook, but he didn't get angry. A kid like that can get into any good school. Back then, Chaoyue was only up to my chest. Now he's almost a head taller than me. Kids grow so fast."

Time flies.

The topics of conversation among the village elders are still the same old ones.

Just like when I was a child, nothing has changed.

I remember what happened to your family, and I'll tell you about my family too.

Yang Chaoyue didn't participate; he just listened from the side.

Her younger sister asked her for her phone to play with, so she told her sister to turn on the TV in the main room first.

Open the [Swordsman 4] group.

There was a group announcement posted by Jiang Yang this morning.

It says:

[Chaoyue, Xiwei, Haochun, Zhouye, after you finish your last exam, run as fast as you can towards the school gate and get noticed by the reporters interviewing the students. This is a chance for exposure. Think of what you want to say, and seize the opportunity. Our company is having a team-building event on the trending topics list.]
Even if Yang Ge hadn't said that, she would have rushed to the school gate after the exam.

The TV in the main room was on. It had been playing commercials, but now it was showing a local Yancheng TV station, broadcasting news and information.

Finally, the program for today's college entrance examination is being broadcast.

The first to notice was Aunt Wang: "Is that Yueyue?! Yueyue is on TV!"

They were just chatting casually.

At this moment, everyone was holding their bowls and looking at the television in the main room.

On television, Yang Chaoyue, with her hair in a ponytail and bangs framing her face, told the reporter, "My family was so poor before that we couldn't afford to send me to school, so I went to work in a factory. Back then, I thought going to university was something for the next life, and that I'd probably spend my whole life on the assembly line. Later, I became an actress with my boss, earned some money, and then I wanted to go back to school. I wanted to give that little girl who cried while clutching her textbooks back then some peace of mind. She didn't have the chance to study then, and if I can make up for it now, then I won't have let her down..."

That's what I said in a previous interview.

Play it in its entirety.

Her name, Yang Chaoyue, was displayed on the screen.

The younger sister, who was playing a fruit-cutting mobile game, looked up at the TV screen when the game ended, and smiled at Yang Chaoyue: "You're on TV again, sister. What are you acting in this time?"

"I'm just playing myself," Yang Chaoyue said with a smile.

Just finished.

She noticed that her father was pursing his lips and remained silent.

My eyes were a little wet.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Father smiled, wiped the corner of his eye, and said softly, "I just feel sorry for you. I'm not very capable, but thankfully you've worked hard."

"Chaoyue is so impressive! Chaoyue is so impressive!" Aunt Wang laughed heartily.

After dinner, Yang Chaoyue insisted on giving Aunt Wang some gifts he had bought from out of town, and then Aunt Wang went home.

The sky gradually darkened.

It's obvious that the news of her appearing on TV after the college entrance exam will spread throughout the entire village.

Brother Yang said so.

There are only so many resources in this circle. If she barges in and gets them, it means she will take away other people's resources.

There will definitely be people hoping she falls.

So once she really becomes famous, people will dig up dirt on her, and reporters might even come to her hometown and ask each and every villager about her.

Maintaining good relationships in the village, especially with Aunt Wang as a go-between, will benefit one's future image.

This is for the village.

There are also those targeting the internet.

The producers of "Fighter of the Destiny" and even "God of War Zhao Yun" will definitely not miss this opportunity for promotion.

Open her Weibo account.

Sure enough, I found a related entry: #YangChaoyueCollegeEntranceExam#.

Not urgent.

Let the entry slowly ferment.

There must be a lot of news about the college entrance exam these days. She, Xiwei, and Haochun are all actresses, which is just a gimmick.

As for Zhou Ye, that's hard to say.

Since Zhou Ye hasn't filmed any movies yet and doesn't have a fan base, there won't be a marketing team handling this aspect.

I'm too lazy to think about it too much; Zhou Ye hasn't signed with Jiangyang Company yet.

She sent a message in the Sailor Moon 4 group: [“Super Leap has been on TV, mission accomplished.”]
……

Yuecheng.

Huizhou Hua Luogeng Middle School.

Around the time after the college entrance examination.

After handing in his last exam paper, Zhou Ye remembered Jiang Yang's instructions and rushed straight to the school gate.

Cell phones are not allowed in the examination room; they must be placed in the electric scooter outside.

The first one to rush out of the school gate found that, just as Jiang Yang had said, he had indeed been noticed by reporters outside.

When the camera was shoved in, Zhou Ye panicked a little. He took a few breaths and heard the reporter ask, "Hello, student. We are from Huizhou TV. You were the first candidate to rush out of the exam room. May we ask you a few questions?"

"Okay, let me catch my breath first."

"Okay, okay, hahaha, no rush."

Zhou Ye looked back.

This is the high school she attended for three years.

The white walls of the teaching building gleamed in the sun.

There were scraps of paper in the grout between the tiles.

The banner proclaiming "Calmly Taking the Exam" at the corner of the stairs was being tossed about by the wind.

Downstairs, groups of three or five students walked by. Some crumpled their admission tickets into a ball and stuffed them into their pockets, while others poured mineral water bottles on their faces.

Suddenly realized.

After leaving this school gate, I may never go back in.

High school is over.

The electric bell in the teaching building was still ringing, its sound drifting down with the cheers of the examinees upstairs.

The reporter asked with a smile, "Do you think this year's college entrance examination was difficult?"

"This year's college entrance examination..."

Zhou Ye originally wanted to say that it was very simple, that this was her true feeling.

However, I remembered that Jiang Yang had emphasized in the group that if we were to be interviewed by reporters, we should try to be conservative in our statements, because after being marketed, every word we said could be used to criticize us online.

In a conservative sense, it means being modest.

I didn't sign with Jiang Yang's company, but I'm quite familiar with the artists in Jiang Yang's company.

The most humble one is Liu Haochun.

Remembering the two words Liu Haochun often said, Zhou Ye smiled and said, "I think this year's college entrance examination was not too difficult."

Do you have any dreams?

"I want to be crowned emperor and become extremely wealthy and powerful in the future."

"Hahaha, you're very humorous, classmate. May I ask your name?"

"I mean it, my dream was to wear the imperial robe and become extremely wealthy and powerful, and I have already achieved that."

As he spoke, Zhou Ye walked straight to the electric scooter by the roadside.

Open the base, take out the helmet and put it on.

Then, with practiced ease, I put on the Meituan jacket and opened the crowdsourcing app.

An order was received immediately.

She showed the reporter her phone camera: "Look, this order is for steamed carp and braised pork, lots of meat and fish, I'm not going to say anymore, the order will go overtime if we keep talking."

The reporter was stunned.

She was the one who interviewed the students taking the exam at this school in previous years.

The questions that were asked repeatedly reflected this same thinking.

Everyone's answers were all the same.

This time, however, it was exceptionally novel.

Among the college entrance exam candidates, there's actually a delivery rider. No wonder he runs so fast; has he been training regularly?

It generated a lot of buzz.

Seeing Zhou Ye about to leave, the reporter quickly called out, "Excuse me, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Ye, the 'Ye' of wild horse! And the 'Ye' of ambition!"

Completed three deliveries.

By the time I got home and had dinner, it was already 6:30.

The floor of Yuecheng's home is light brown solid wood, and a black piano stands against the wall with a beige cloth covering the lid, the corner of which is embroidered with the character "野" (wild).

It was embroidered by her mother specially.

Her father was a musician and used to teach her to play the piano. Later, she was busy with exams, and some dust got on the piano, so her mother would often wipe it clean.

While chatting with his parents about the college entrance examination, Zhou Ye kept an eye on the local Huizhou TV station. He heard the host say, "This year's college entrance examination... Hua Luogeng Middle School has a special candidate."

Next came the interview with Zhou Ye.

When she heard her say that her dream was to wear a yellow jacket, become rich and powerful, and then wear Meituan clothes to show the reporter the orders she had just received, her mother couldn't stop smiling: "Ye Ye, who taught you to say that?"

"My boss is Jiang Yang."

"Haha, he really has a lot of clever ideas. He knew you'd have something to talk about, right..."

Mom was talking.

Realizing something, her smile gradually faded: "Your boss? Ye Ye, have you signed with Jiang Yang yet?"

"Not yet, it's almost time to sign. I've signed it here, and now I'm waiting for him to stamp it."

"have a look."

Zhou Ye got up and walked towards her room.

I took out my phone and searched for the hashtag #YangChaoyueCollegeEntranceExam# on Weibo.

Found it.

There are quite a few comments.

It was reposted by many marketing accounts.

Most notably, the official Weibo accounts of "Fighter of the Destiny" and "God of War Zhao Zilong" both reposted it.

Comments below:
[This candidate is actually an actor! It gives an explanation to the little girl who cried while clutching her textbooks back then. Such honest words! They really touched me. To be honest, Yang Chaoyue has gained some fame and money, and the first thing she did was take the college entrance exam. I also had to work for several years because my family was poor before I had to retake it. I just got into graduate school this year. Many people didn't understand at the time; it was that feeling of fearing that I'd be too old and wouldn't have another chance, that time wouldn't wait for anyone. Yang Chaoyue said what I've never dared to say.]
[Stop pretending. She only remembered the college entrance exam after making money as an actress. What was she doing all this time? If she hadn't become an actress and made money, would she even want to make up for it? Essentially, she's using poverty as a persona. These days, celebrities love to play the victim to gain sympathy and followers.]
[I don't think Yang Chaoyue is trying to gain sympathy. She's just speaking the truth. She's truly experienced poverty and understands it all. My mom dropped out of elementary school to knit sweaters so she could support my uncle's education. Now that I'm in college, she always says I should study harder for her. I can definitely empathize with Yang Chaoyue's feelings.]
[This sounds a bit fake. If someone were truly working at the bottom of society, life would have worn them down to the point of not wanting to study anymore. Isn't that how it is these days? They just make up some tragic stories to become famous; netizens love to hear them, and they can land endorsements right away. Who believes that?]
Many people say that the past is the past, but those who have experienced it know that those unfulfilled wishes will gnaw at you in the night. Yang Chaoyue dared to look back and pick up those past wishes, which already means she has won. She is much better than those who complain and blame others all day long. You can criticize her all you want, but I've become a fan of Chaoyue now.
……

Each marketing account that forwarded the post had numerous comments under it.

The most comments were especially under the official Weibo accounts of "Fighter of the Destiny" and "God of War Zhao Zilong".

Let's take another look at Yang Chaoyue's Weibo follower count.

Yesterday it was 150,000, and now it's 160,000.

"Your followers are growing so fast!"

The netizens who are discussing and praising Yang Chaoyue are saying that Yang Chaoyue is very genuine.

There was also a lot of criticism.

Some say Yang Chaoyue is just creating hype.

Zhou Ye knew very well that the criticism was spot on; it was just hype, albeit genuine hype. He thought, "If you're so capable, why don't you get those celebrities to take the college entrance exam too?"

"Will I gain more followers too?"

Zhou Ye then searched her own: #ZhouYeCollegeEntranceExam#. (End of Chapter)
