Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 14 How can you sleep at your age?
If I can really pass the interview, it may be a turning point in my life.

Even if you are just a passerby NPC in a variety show, the chance of becoming famous is slim, but it is much better than the uncertain future of being a female worker in a textile factory.

Brother Yang said that if the interview is successful, I will be a special actor and can join the crew and get paid, starting at 3500 yuan.

3500 yuan is the monthly income of a female worker in a textile factory.

With this money, I can buy a smartphone that can connect to the 4G network.

I will save some more money and go home for the New Year to buy my dad a smartphone. Then I can video chat with him and he won’t have to worry about me when he’s alone at home.

Yang Chaoyue's greatest motivation is to improve his family's life through his own efforts.

Open your old Nokia.

There is a striking piece of news at the top: all the scenes for the TV series "Love O2O" have been completed. Yang Yang, who plays the great actor Xiao Nai, filmed while ill. Zheng Shuang, who plays the school beauty Bei Weiwei, was praised by the director for her efforts to add points to the role.

The news was accompanied by a still photo of the final shoot.

Yang Chaoyue was not very impressed with the male lead Yang Yang.

She is pretty, but not as pretty as her boss, and not as tall as her boss.

The female lead, Zheng Shuang, left a very deep impression on me.

She has watched the entire TV series "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" and is very envious of the college life in it.

Yang Chaoyue stared at Zheng Shuang in the C position, his eyes full of envy.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door rang out: "Are you awake?"

Yang Chaoyue was subconsciously a little alert, but when he heard Jiang Yang's voice, he felt a little more at ease.

Vigilance has not been completely relaxed.

Watching Go Fighting with Jiang Yang during the day is fun, but that doesn't mean she won't be on guard if Jiang Yang knocks on her door in the middle of the night.

Falling in love with a handsome boy and even being willing to devote yourself to him is a plot that only appears in entertainment novels.

"I'm going to sleep, Brother Yang." Yang Chaoyue curled up in the halo of the incandescent light, his tone filled with deep sleepiness, and turned off the lights: "If there is anything, send a message on your phone."

[Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have improved under your care. You have received feedback and your acting attribute has increased by 1.]

Jiang Yang heard the system prompt sound and understood what was going on.

Yang Chaoyue is playing him again.

I'm really worried about sexual harassment in the workplace.

You're right to worry, he's here to harass you.

"How can you sleep at your age? I forgot to give you homework tonight, so I'm going to make it up now."

Jiang Yang slipped a piece of A4 paper with a few lines of writing on it through the crack of the door and urged him in a work-like tone, "This is homework related to the show 'Go Fighting' you watched this day. Finish it and slip it under my door. You're not allowed to go to bed until you finish it."

The warm light spot coming through the crack in the door was cut by the shadow, and Jiang Yang's slender fingers pushed the A4 paper forward.

I caught a glimpse of an A4 paper being stuffed from under the door.

Yang Chaoyue tiptoed out of bed, picked it up and glanced at it. He suddenly exerted force on his knuckles that were pinching the A4 paper, and his eyelashes cast a confused shadow under his eyes. After seeing the content clearly, he turned to a concentrated look with his lips bitten in thought.

There are 5 questions written at the top:
What is the theme of each issue?
What funny moments have been caused by the interactions between the guests?

How did the guests complete the tasks created by the program team through teamwork?
Which task scenarios are close to life?

What topics do the guests discuss on the show that are likely to resonate emotionally with the audience?
Below the question is a vertical list from issue 1 to issue 6.

"Oh my God, why do I have to do homework just to watch a variety show?" Yang Chaoyue was overwhelmed.

"The casting director may ask you these questions during the interview. We don't fight unprepared battles."

Jiang Yang's lazy voice came from outside the door: "If I didn't want to make you famous as soon as possible, do you think I want to check your homework?"

"I wrote!"

Yang Chaoyue suddenly realized Jiang Yang's good intentions and was deeply moved.

Put on your coat and pick up your pen.

Since this matter concerns his own future, Yang Chaoyue lost all desire to sleep and sat at the head of the bed thinking carefully.

"The iPad is on the coffee table in the living room. It's fully charged, so feel free to use it."

After saying this, the sound of Jiang Yang closing the door of the master bedroom was heard outside.

Yang Chaoyue pulled open the latch of the door and stepped barefoot on the cold floor tiles in the living room. His toes curled up unconsciously to resist the cold. He tiptoed out to get the IPAD, as if he was afraid to disturb Jiang Yang.

Back in the room, she held the A4 paper Jiang Yang had written for her and looked at the question Jiang Yang had written on it.

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful with brush strokes, and it looks very beautiful.

Yang Chaoyue felt touched.

"We can't let Brother Yang down."

……

Half a month passed in a flash.

2015 11 Month 25 Day.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yang finished the breakfast bought by Yang Chaoyue. After they packed up a bit, they drove to the Magic City Canxing Culture Company in Xuhui District.

In the past half month, Yang Chaoyue watched all of "Go Fighting" and also did the homework assigned by Jiang Yang for half a month.

Although Jiang Yang gave her a failing grade at the beginning.

As Jiang Yang explained to her, her understanding of this variety show became more and more profound. She understood the star effect of this variety show, the novelty of the task setting, where the excellent production of the program was reflected, and how profound the theme was.

The preparations were very thorough.

On the way to the actual audition, Yang Chaoyue's palms were still sweating uncontrollably: "Brother Yang, I'm so nervous."

Jiang Yang put one hand on the steering wheel, his fingertips casually tapping the rhythm, humming a song that Yang Chaoyue couldn't understand: "It's okay, if you can't pass this, I'll take you out for a good meal and then get you another notice."

"Really?"

"There are a lot of announcements."

This time when he and Yang Chaoyue were auditioning, he didn't even go through the public delivery channel, but went directly to Canxing Culture Company.

It's a completely unconventional approach.

There are many such unconventional ways.

There is no other way. He has no resources and is short on time, so he can only arrange it this way.

Fortunately, the person being interviewed was an extra, so no matter how high the casting director’s requirements were, they couldn’t be that high.

Yang Chaoyue nodded obediently.

Brother Yang will be meeting with the staff of Canxing Culture in a while. After all, her schedule has been changed. She was originally scheduled to audition the day before yesterday, but Brother Yang changed it to today.

She got in through the back door.

The windshield cut the sunlight into diamond-shaped spots of light, which danced on Yang Chaoyue's washed-out jeans.

As the car drove out of the Songjiang Industrial Zone, Yang Chaoyue counted more than a dozen factory billboards advertising recruitment and free accommodation. When a sign for entering Xuhui District appeared on the roadside, Yang Chaoyue unconsciously tightened his seat belt.

Especially when the gilded road sign of Lujiazui Financial Center flashed by, Yang Chaoyue felt uneasy and his shoulders were a little stiff.

"You've been working in Shanghai for almost two years. Haven't you been to the city center?" Jiang Yang glanced at the central control rearview mirror.

"No, I haven't been here. I don't have the time, and I don't have the money."

When she first sat in the car, she could still chat with Jiang Yang. But as she looked out the window at the bustling city and the brightly dressed pedestrians on the street, she gradually fell silent.

The prices here must be very expensive, right?

The down payment for a house here might be something she couldn't afford even if she worked in a textile factory her entire life.

It feels unreal.

I always feel like I don't belong here.

I grew up in my hometown in the rural area of ​​Yancheng. The most common things I saw were farmland and low-rise houses. Maybe that was my comfort zone.

"That's where we're going to have our interview." Jiang Yang pointed to the Starry Sky Plaza in front of him. "Canxing Culture is on the 6th floor."

Yang Chaoyue looked in the direction Jiang Yang pointed, and the giant LED screen playing "Go Fighting" was very eye-catching.

Above is a freeze-frame of MCs Sun Honglei, Huang Bo and others from a variety show.

At the entrance stands the iconic red swivel chair of "The Voice of China".

This is the industrial matrix of Canxing Star Variety Show.

"Why don't you go in first? The parking lot is a bit roundabout." Jiang Yang parked the car on the side of the road, facing the gate of Canxing.

"Don't."

Yang Chaoyue glanced at the entire glass curtain wall of the building, his shoulder blades tensed with nervousness: "Brother Yang, I'll follow you."
