Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"What title?"

Hear the words.

Wang Han was taken aback.

He seemed to hear a crucial message: "Old Zhong, explain yourself more clearly."

"Didn't you know? Jiang Yang was the top science student in Wudu City this year, with a total score of 730. He just entered the industry and immediately played an important supporting role in my drama. Isn't that a fresh character setting?"

"He got the top score in the exam?!"

Wang Han's voice rose.

I almost dropped the teacup in my hand.

I conducted a background check on Jiang Yang and know that he has good academic performance.

I never expected it to get this good.

Wang Han pressed on the phone, "Really? Don't joke about this with me, I'll take it seriously, this is a big deal!"

"Why would I lie to you? I can check the scores." Zhong Shujia's tone was a little smug: "My crew is preparing a topic, and Lu Han will be posting on Weibo soon."

Wang Han remained silent for a long while.

He completely dropped the joking manner he had shown with Zhong Shujia earlier.

They knew Zhong Shujia's purpose.

Since it's about helping Jiang Yang, it's also about helping Zhong Shujia herself.

The guests Jiang Yang was going to bring were just a few artists from his company, all of whom had acted in Zhong Shujia's "Fighter of the Destiny," making it convenient for them to appear on variety shows for promotion.

The best of both worlds.

Wang Han stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said into the phone, "Alright, for your sake, and for the sake of Jiang Yang's fresh image as the top scorer in the college entrance examination, I'll bring two more people."

"There are more than two."

“You just mentioned two!” Wang Han frowned.

"If you say two, then two. It's just an example. You're a kid, why are you taking things so seriously? Jiang Yang will probably bring several."

Done.

Zhong Shujia paused for a moment.

On the phone, Zhong Shujia's laughter rang out: "Why be so rigid about the rules? You know Huang Lei from Beijing Film Academy, right? He met Jiang Yang on the variety show 'Go Fighting!' and filmed 'A Little Reunion' with Jiang Yang. They're really close in private, and he's always saying at school that Jiang Yang is his student. His show 'Back to Field' also needs guest stars, and his schedule might clash with yours..."

Wang Han felt a buzzing in his head.

There's no time to think about it anymore.

Because we know that Zhong Shujia is telling the truth.

Yesterday's guest, whom he considered dispensable, has today become a hot commodity for the variety show.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

The variety show aired during the summer vacation, coinciding with the peak of the college entrance examination season.

The biggest challenge for a new variety show is the lack of buzz.

Therefore, Jiang Yang's character is now an irreplaceable topic.

It can attract public attention related to the college entrance examination and also pique the curiosity of young viewers about academic stars.

Guests who naturally generate controversy and discussion are rare finds.

Wang Han also knew about the variety show "Back to Field".

It's a slow-paced variety show.

We also need a fresh character like Jiang Yang to create something interesting.

Because the target audience for the programs is the same.

Unfortunately, Huang Lei's personal relationship with Jiang Yang gave Jiang Yang a clear alternative.

Huang Lei is a national-level celebrity this year. "Back to Field" is backed by Hunan TV, and the slow-paced variety show's life-oriented scenes make it easier for Jiang Yang's academic genius persona to naturally take root.

Showcasing life skills or academic thinking can be a great way to watch something interesting.

It might be more likely to attract fans than the agent-style吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize) format of "Mars Intelligence Agency".

Wang Han knew that if he didn't back down, Jiang Yang would have every reason to choose "Back to Field," which was more conducive to his personal development.

In that case, it will be a loss in terms of both attracting investment and gaining exposure.

Wang Han immediately interrupted, "Fine, fine, Jiang Yang can bring as many people as he wants!"

He paused, then changed the subject: "But Lao Zhong, don't be the middleman in this matter. I've already told Qian Feng to refuse them. I'll call Jiang Yang myself later and smooth things over for Qian Feng, and also say a few nice words to the kid so they don't think our variety show is arrogant."

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!" Zhong Shujia said with a smile. "You have to do it yourself to show that you value it. Xiao Jiang is new to the industry and has a steady personality. If you give him some pointers, we might be able to work together more in the future."

"I know, I'll definitely know what I'm doing."

hang up the phone.

Wang Han found Qian Feng's number on his phone.

I didn't rush to dial.

I think it's necessary to confirm this first.

First, let's look at Jiang Yang's college entrance examination results.

"Top scorer in the college entrance exam? 730 points? Don't get it wrong."

Even now, I still can't believe it's true.

Although Zhong Shujia is an old friend, when it comes to the core topics of the program, no carelessness is allowed.

If the information is false and the show is broadcast and the truth is revealed, not only will the reputation of the first episode of "Mars Intelligence Agency" be affected, but the co-producer will also have to take the blame.

Wang Han found the official website of the Chongqing Education Examination Authority on his computer.

The website interface is very simple; the entrance to check college entrance examination results is located below the homepage carousel.

Individual scores require the candidate number and ID number, which obviously cannot be checked.

Wang Han didn't hesitate.

There's no need to specifically ask Jiang Yang for his exam number and ID number to check his score; it would be presumptuous and troublesome.

If he is truly the top scorer, he will be easy to find.

Scroll directly to the news and announcements section at the bottom of the page.

Click to view the list of top scorers in the arts and sciences in this year's college entrance examination in Wudu City.

Zhong Shujia said that Jiang Yang is the top science student in Wudu City, and the authorities will definitely issue a statement about it.

As the mouse wheel slowly scrolled, the bold text on the page became clearly visible. Wang Han murmured, "First place in science: Jiang Yang, total score 730, graduated from Tongliang Middle School in Wudu..."

The scores for each subject were also attached.

The interview summary page is blank because the scores have just been released and the media hasn't had time to process them yet.

Usually, they would go to Jiang Yang's hometown in Wudu to find Jiang Yang himself, or contact Jiang Yang's homeroom teacher, and then interview Jiang Yang.

Who would have thought that this guy is currently filming in Hengdian?

Wang Han zoomed in on the page, staring at the words "Jiang Yang" and his score several times, and then checked the university he graduated from. He had a better understanding of the situation.

The official announcement cannot be faked; Jiang Yang was indeed the top scholar.

"Talent."

Wang Han sighed.

Click on the trending topics and take a look.

The top trending topic is still #GuanXiaotongCollegeEntranceExam#.

The hashtag #ZhangXueWelcomesCollegeEntranceExam# has climbed to second place on the trending topics list.

Further down are the hashtags #LiCeng,FanBingBingChallengerAlliance# and #FanBingBingChallengingHighAltitudeMission#.

These are all trending topics related to the variety show "Challenger Alliance".

It's been on the list for three days now.

Further down are trending search terms related to the variety show "Our Laws": #Huang Zitao, playing guitar in the jungle# and #Li Yapeng, taking care of young artists#.

Starting this year, variety shows have sprung up in droves.

In order to attract traffic, major platforms spend a lot of money to invite celebrities to join their self-produced variety shows.

Even so, it couldn't suppress the nationwide enthusiasm for the college entrance examination.

I didn't see any trending search terms related to Jiang Yang.

wrong!

There is one!
Trending topics related to Jiangyang have appeared!
Wang Han saw a hashtag at number 30 on the list: #Lu Han congratulates Jiang Yang on getting a perfect score in the college entrance exam in mathematics#.

The word "hot" is followed by a small "hot" in the entry.

"Lu Han specifically sent a Weibo post to Jiang Yang?" Wang Han was taken aback.

Just as Zhong Shujia said.

It was arranged by the production team of "Fighter of the Destiny".

Knowing that Lu Han is now a top influencer, one of his Weibo posts has a huge impact.

Even a casual post about daily life can easily trend on social media, let alone one related to the college entrance examination.

I can foresee that this term will soon climb into the top ten.

The moment Wang Han clicked on the entry, hundreds of new comments appeared on the page.

It was posted on Lu Han's own Weibo account ten minutes ago, with only one sentence in the caption:

[“My good friend Jiang Ge is amazing! He’s my acting coach. His college entrance exam results are out, @JiangYang, you got a perfect score in math, no wonder you did so well! Let’s make our song and drama a success together!”]
Below is a short video of a little over a minute.

The video was filmed in a dressing room in Hengdian.

In the background, you can see the ancient costume hanging there, which is the blue robe worn by Chen Changsheng, played by Lu Han in "Fighter of the Destiny".

For top celebrities like Lu Han, their costumes for filming are usually kept by their teams.

It won't be handed over to the costume department after work.

They were worried that the costume team might resell them to fans, causing unnecessary trouble.

Several makeup cases were piled up in the corner, and a fill light was on.

Lu Han wore a simple white hooded sweatshirt, with the hood pulled back, revealing his signature straight bangs. He wasn't wearing heavy makeup, just a little lip balm, and had his usual shy smile on his lips.

The camera was a bit close, but you could clearly see the sincerity in his eyes:
"Hi everyone, I just finished reshooting today's scenes for 'Fighter of the Destiny'. Actually, this drama could have been released earlier, but some episodes didn't pass the censorship, so we had to reshoot. Since there's no one in the makeup room right now, I want to share some really exciting news with you all. My good friend Jiang Yang, who also plays Qiu Shan Jun in 'Fighter of the Destiny', got his college entrance exam scores and got a perfect score in math! That's amazing!"

He held up his phone as he spoke.

The screen showed him a screenshot of his grades that Jiang Yang had sent him.

The total score and other scores are all blurred out.

Only the words "Mathematics score 150" are visible.

It was Zhong Shujia who gave the instructions.

Lu Han only announced Jiang Yang's math score. The topic of who was the top scorer will be postponed until the time is right. Jiang Yang will then post on Weibo and the production team's official Weibo account will make the official announcement.

"Actually, I knew that Jiang Yang loved studying when we were filming. He would spend his rest time doing practice problems. Now that he has finally achieved good results, I am really happy for him."

The conversation turned.

Lu Han's tone became more serious: "There's something else I want to tell everyone. Actually, I mentioned it at the press conference for the start of filming of 'Fighter of the Destiny,' but I'm afraid many people still don't know. The lyrics and music for my new single, 'Rose Boy,' were actually written by Jiang Yang. He showed it to me after he finished writing it, and I liked it at first sight. Now, I'd like to take this opportunity to formally introduce to everyone that the copyright of this song is shared by Jiang Yang and me. From now on, this song will not only be my single, but also a joint work of both of us."

He bowed slightly to the camera: "Thank you, Jiang Yang, for sharing such a great song with me. I also wish our drama 'Fighter of the Destiny' great success in ratings. I hope everyone will support Jiang Yang and our work!"

At the end of the video, Lu Han gave a thumbs-up and smiled brightly: "Jiang Yang, keep it up! The future is bright!"

The comments section has already exploded.

The number of comments has exceeded 30,000, and the number of likes and shares is still skyrocketing.
The comment with the most likes was from Lu Han's fans:

[My brother is so great! Jiang Yang is also excellent, getting a perfect score in math and writing songs. Wishing "Fighter of the Destiny" a huge success!]
[Who understands? My brother and Jiang Yang interacted frequently while filming, and they were even seen sharing snacks in leaked photos. Now they're sharing copyrights! This amazing friendship is making me so happy! I support my brother and Jiang Yang; two outstanding people should support each other!]
Passersby:

[A perfect score in math, songwriting, acting—Jiang Yang is an all-around academic genius! That's quite an achievement! I'm really looking forward to his role in "Fighter of the Destiny"!]
[As a high school math teacher myself, I must say that getting a perfect score on the college entrance exam in math is incredibly difficult. Jiang Yang not only manages to balance his studies but also writes songs and acts in movies; his time management skills are amazing. He's definitely the kind of kid everyone admires.]
[Speechless. Jiang Yang is probably trying to ride on Lu Han's popularity. He just finished the college entrance exam and is already associating himself with a top star, even sharing copyrights. It must have been planned all along.]
[So what if you got a perfect score in math? An actor's job is to act. Don't use the "genius" persona for publicity. If you don't act well, you'll still get criticized.]
[Has Lu Han gone mad? Why would he share the copyright of a perfectly good single with a newcomer? Isn't he afraid of being used for publicity? It feels like Jiang Yang just wants to use Lu Han to climb the ladder; he's so scheming!]
Fans defended Lu Han, and all their comments were praise.

Passersby are different; they offer both praise and criticism, and Wang Han sees it all.

However, there were some comments that he simply couldn't understand.

Lu Han clearly stated that "Rose Boy" was created by Jiang Yang and that he shared the copyright with Lu Han. So why are people still stirring up trouble, saying that the song was created by Lu Han and shared with Jiang Yang, a newcomer?

Wang Han flipped through two pages of comments.

The hashtag #LuHanCongratulatesJiangYangOnGettingAPerfectScoreInMath# has climbed to the 25th spot on the trending topics list and is still climbing.

This topic was practically tailor-made for "Fighter of the Destiny," and Lao Zhong really hit the jackpot.

This hashtag might soon surpass Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Xueying's and reach number one. I checked the trending topics for Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Xueying again.

They discovered that both of them achieved the second-highest score in the art entrance exams; one was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, and the other to the Beijing Film Academy.

Wang Han suddenly became curious.

Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Xueying both debuted as child stars and have rich acting experience, which is something that ordinary candidates cannot compare to.

Logically speaking, it should be expected that the student should get first place in the art exam, so who is first?

It's easy to find.

Wang Han stared at the trending topic #LuHanCongratulatesJiangYangOnGettingPerfectScoreInMath#, watching it climb at a visible speed, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "This topic might soon surpass Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Xueying and reach number one."

He casually typed "[Guan Xiaotong's art exam]" into the trending search box.

Click on the relevant entry.

It was indeed a news story I'd seen before.

Guan Xiaotong was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with the second-highest score in her major, and the comments section was full of praise for her strong acting skills as a child star.

Search again for "[Zhang Xueying Art Exam]".

She also ranked second in her major, and her name was prominently listed on the Central Academy of Drama's list.

"They all debuted as child stars and have so much acting experience, how come they only got second place?"

Wang Han took a betel nut and put it in his mouth, his curiosity piqued.

"Logically speaking, the top scorer in the art exam should represent their level. So who is the top scorer?"

He didn't think much about it.

Because you can find it directly through a search.

Open your computer browser and enter the entrance exam scores for the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy this year.

The official website has an admissions announcement. On the homepage, in the undergraduate admissions section, there is a notice titled "List of Qualified Candidates and Rankings for the 2016 Performing Arts Department Professional Examination".

Wang Han clicked in, scrolled to the rankings section, and his gaze instantly settled on the first line.

Wang Han's heart skipped a beat, and his finger stopped: "First place, Jiang Yang?!"

Is it a case of the same name?

As if he had thought of something.

Wang Han dared not be careless and immediately searched for the top scorer in the 2016 entrance examination for the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama.

The results for the Central Academy of Drama are posted in the Admissions and Employment section; you need to click into the secondary page to see them.

After the page loads, the rankings appear, and it says:

[Jiang Yang, ranked first in the Performing Arts Department.]
Not a coincidence!

Some time ago, when Zhong Shujia first recommended Jiang Yang to him over the phone, he mentioned that Jiang Yang had taken the entrance exams for four art colleges: Beijing Dance Academy, Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy.

"Could it be..." An absurd yet astonishing thought flashed into his mind, and he continued searching.

First, enter the first place in the 2016 art exam for the Dance Department of Beijing Dance Academy.

I saw the ranking on an official, authoritative education WeChat account. Liu Haochun ranked second in the Musical Theatre Department.

The artist that Jiang Yang managed.

Wang Han's attention was focused on the first name.

That's Jiangyang!

Next, search for "Shanghai Theatre Academy 2016 Performance Department Entrance Examination Results".

I saw Jiang Yang's name at the top of the list of qualified candidates on the Shanghai Theatre Academy's official website.

Four top art schools, four top scorers in the art exams!
Wang Han stared at the four identical Jiang Yangs on the computer screen, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He repeatedly refreshed the page to confirm that each school's announcement had an official seal and specific scores. Even the Beijing Dance Academy's post included photos of Jiang Yang's art exam.

That face belongs to Jiang Yang, who played a supporting role in "Fighter of the Destiny," the same Jiang Yang who scored 730 on the college entrance exam, got a perfect score in math, and wrote several hit songs!
"My God..." Wang Han almost dropped the mouse in his hand.

Now I finally understand why Zhong Shujia said Jiang Yang is a talented person.

This isn't just talent, this is genius!

Zhong Shujia probably never imagined that Jiang Yang would not only be the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but also the top scorer in the art entrance examinations of four top art colleges.

Not just in the variety show industry, you can't find another one like it in the entire entertainment industry!

Before we could process the previous shock, another one hit us.

He suddenly remembered that Qian Feng hadn't sent Jiang Yang's contact information yet, so he grabbed his phone and dialed, his voice filled with unprecedented urgency, even trembling slightly: "Qian Feng! You have Jiang Yang's contact information, right?"

“I have it. What’s wrong, Brother Han? I’ve taken care of it. I rejected him. Jiang Yang is very sensible. He promised that he will only bring that artist named Zhao Lushi to our variety show.”

"Don't say anything else, send me Jiang Yang's phone number right now! Don't waste a second!"

Qian Feng, on the other end of the phone, was startled by Wang Han's sudden urgency.

In my memory, Brother Han is very calm and composed.

Han Ge lost control of his emotions several times, all of which were related to his brothers.

Once, Yu Haomin suffered burns all over his body. When Han Ge saw Yu Haomin covered in bandages in the ward, he was speechless and tears streamed down his face.

Once, when Xiao Wu was serving in the military and had to leave the "Tian Tian Brothers" (a popular Chinese TV show), Wang Han gave Xiao Wu a large red envelope on the show. Inside was a bank card. He didn't ask how much money was given, but it must have been a lot.

On the show, Xiao Wu knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Han to express his gratitude for her care, but Wang Han's voice trembled and he was unable to speak.

Another instance was when Tian Yuan had to leave the "Tian Tian Brothers" due to negative news about her infidelity, and Wang Han couldn't be saved either.

That day in the private room of the restaurant, Wang Han berated Tian Yuan mercilessly and took back the ring that Tian Yuan always wore, which symbolized the "Tian Tian Brothers".

But privately, he still helps Tian Yuan out of consideration for their brotherhood.

They made Tian Yuan a regular guest on "Mars Intelligence Agency".

The last time he lost control of his emotions was when he learned that Oudi, whom he had always mentored, had left the Tian Tian Brothers.

And this moment.

Wang Han was extremely agitated. Qian Feng asked, "Brother Han? What's wrong? What happened? Don't worry..."

Stop asking! Send it now!

After hanging up the phone, Wang Han's gaze returned to the trending topics list.

#LuHanCongratulatesJiangYangOnGettingPerfectScoreInMath# has climbed to the tenth spot on the trending topics list.

He knew that once the news of the top scorers in the four art exams spread, more and more topics related to Jiang Yang would trend on social media.

At that time, no one will be able to stop Jiangyang from becoming a hot topic.

He had to contact Jiang Yang immediately and couldn't let Jiang Yang slip away from "Mars Intelligence Agency".

The salary is not a problem.

You can give double.

Let alone asking Jiang Yang to bring a few more artists, even if Jiang Yang were to bring his whole family on a variety show, he would still agree first.

We must at least get ahead of Huang Lei!
"That cook is really lucky; he met Jiang Yang before I did!"

In the show he hosted, "Day Day Up," which competed with "Happy Camp" for ratings, the Day Day Brothers had already fallen apart.

The station is looking for a new host.

A thought popped into Wang Han's mind: "Could we let this kid appear on my show first, and try him out as one of the 'Tian Tian Brothers'?"

Not in a hurry.

tell you later.

First, keep Jiang Yang on "Mars Intelligence Agency".

Immediately, Wang Han dialed Jiang Yang's number, and it was answered shortly. Wang Han softened his tone and said, "Hello."

"Who are you?"

The response to Wang Han came from a woman's voice, speaking in the Chongqing dialect.

Her voice was sweet, but her tone was somewhat impatient.

"Sorry, wrong number." Wang Han hung up the phone.

Please re-enter the number.

When I called again, the same woman answered: "Who is this?"

"Sorry, sorry, I dialed the wrong number again," Wang Han said politely.

hang up the phone.

After checking the number several times, I found that I had not entered it wrong at all.

I dialed again and heard a familiar voice: "Who is this?"

"Excuse me, are you a friend of Jiang Yang?"

"You can speak the Chongqing dialect?"

"I speak a lot of dialects, girl. Are you from Jiangyang? ... I know, you're Tian Xiwei, right? You're an artist from Jiangyang, from Chongqing. You're the actress who played Nan Ke in 'Fighter of the Destiny'."

"Hey, it's me, it's me."

Marriott Hotels.

Jiangyang Suite
On the sofa in the living room.

Tian Xiwei was straddling Jiang Yang's lap, her arms around his neck, her nose brushing against his jawline, and her lips just touching the corner of his mouth.

She had just kissed Jiang Yang from the doorway to the sofa.

It was a rare moment to be alone with Jiang Yang. The sofa was velvet, so soft you could sink into it, but Jiang Yang's phone kept buzzing.

This time, the person on the other end of the phone slowly introduced himself: "Hello Xiwei, I'm Wang Han, a host from Hunan TV. I have something to discuss with Jiang Yang."

"Woof...Woof Han?!"

Hear the words.

Tian Xiwei was taken aback at first, and after realizing what was going on, she almost dropped her phone.

Is it Wang Han who is looking for Jiang Yang this time?

I often watch Hunan TV programs with my sister at home, so I naturally know that Wang Han is the host of "Day Day Up".

Wang Han does indeed frequently appear on television, speaking in various dialects.

He was also a top host on Hunan TV, on par with He Jiong.

I never expected that the person I just spoke to with such a harsh tone was actually Wang Han!
That national-level host, a big shot in the entertainment industry!

Wang Han actually got in touch with Jiang Yang?

"Hello, Mr. Wang! I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you just now, and my tone was a bit harsh. Please don't mind. I thought it was someone from the film crew."

Then, in a panic, she shoved the phone into Jiang Yang's hand, speaking at a rapid pace like a machine gun: "It's Teacher Wang Han! Wang Han from Hunan TV!"

"Why don't you chat with Wang Han?"

"Me? Oh, I don't dare, please answer it."

Seeing Tian Xi's slightly flustered expression, Jiang Yang couldn't help but laugh.

The reckless energy of blocking the door with my legs crossed just now is gone.

Now it's like they're afraid he'll cause trouble.

Jiang Yang realized that it was best not to laugh now, because his mouth would hurt when he did.

Touching my lips, I could feel that they were a little swollen.

"It's mainly because I'm not in a good position to talk right now, Xiwei," Jiang Yang said in a low voice.

"Why? It's Wang Han's call. He must have something to say to you."

"My mouth hurts from cupping."

"Fire... Bailu deserves to die!"

Tian Xiwei recalled the nickname "Huoguanwei" that Bailu had shared with her in the group chat.

She pursed her lips.

If Wang Han hadn't still been on the phone, he would have really wanted to beat Jiang Yang up.

"Hurry up and answer it! I'm so anxious! And you're still laughing! I want to punch you right now! Are you going to answer it or not? I'll go to the mountains with you!" she whispered fiercely in Jiang Yang's ear.

Then he said, "Hey, answer it quickly, I'm not bothering you anymore, answer it quickly."

Tian Xiwei shoved the phone directly into Jiang Yang's ear.

Jiang Yang immediately composed himself, his smile fading, and said in a calm tone, "Hello, Teacher Wang Han, I am Jiang Yang." (End of Chapter)
