Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 42: Super Leap, You Be the Protagonist in This Scene
After saying that, Kang Wen ran out hurriedly.

The other extras had already left, the door was open, and the cold wind blew in.

The styling room suddenly became quiet.

"Brother Yang, are we the most valued among all the extras?" Yang Chaoyue asked in a low voice.

"What do you think? The other extras have assistant directors on set, but we have the assistant director directing us personally."

Jiang Yang turned off the air conditioner, unscrewed the bottle cap, drank a sip of water, and walked out: "Teacher Yang, please teach me how to act."

"Haha."

Yang Chaoyue hurried to catch up, feeling nervous, excited, and even a little scared.

As they stepped out of the rehearsal room, the cold wind blew against their faces. Jiang Yang chuckled softly, "You're quite bold! Not only did you learn the dialect and use it immediately, but you also fabricated your own acting experience. If Director Kang finds out you're faking it, have you considered the consequences?"

Yang Chaoyue paused slightly.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Yang Chaoyue thought about the consequences.

I am an artist signed by Jiang Yang's company. If I am found to have committed fraud, Jiang Yang may be implicated.

So when I think about it now, I feel scared.

At that time, I was more concerned about seizing the opportunity and acting on impulse without giving it too much thought.

Yang Chaoyue clenched his nose and sniffed the tip of his nose, which was red from the cold wind. "I'm sorry, Brother Yang, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Many extras tend to exaggerate their abilities during auditions. It's okay if they get exposed."

Yang Chaoyue raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

Jiang Yang continued:
"As long as we come up with a good plot and perform well enough to satisfy Director Kang, even if he knows you don't speak the Shanghai dialect and your acting experience is fabricated, it doesn't matter. He will still let us play extras with lots of screen time and opportunities."

"Really? That's good!"

Yang Chaoyue could tell that Jiang Yang's tone did not indicate any blame towards her.

"Do you dare next time?"

"I don't dare. It's too risky."

Yang Chaoyue kept shaking his head, his hair brushing across his red cheeks.

But I was secretly muttering in my heart.

Dare you next time!

[Under your care, Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have improved. You have received feedback, and your acting skills have increased by +1.]

After receiving the system reminder, Jiang Yang understood.

Yang Chaoyue is no longer the Yang Chaoyue who was nervously interviewing at Starbucks a month ago. Now he is playing tricks.

The more tricks like this you use, the better.

The more opportunities you have to gain attributes.

Yang Chaoyue looked at the noodle stall opposite.

Right now, the most important thing is the subsequent performance of the plot.

How to act?
I have no idea at all.

When we arrived at the noodle stall opposite the rehearsal room, we found that the stove was already filled with red-hot coals, and the pungent smell of sulfur was very strong.

Put the pot on the stove and add water to cook the noodles.

I took out my cell phone and saw that it was already 11 o'clock.

The director of photography arranged the filming equipment not far away to obtain the best shooting position.

The seasonings at the noodle stall were rich in flavor, the coriander, green vegetables, and braised meat in the porcelain bowls were all fresh, and the green-rusted copper coins in the cash box were pressed against yellowed silver bills.

The copper coins were warmed by the fire.

Flour can be kneaded into dough by just dipping it in water.

"Brother Yang, how should we act?" Yang Chaoyue's earlobes were numb from the cold wind, and his eyes followed Kang Wen's back as he disappeared into the inn.

I was completely confused about the next performance.

Brother Yang taught her Shanghainese and Mandarin.

Even high school English vocabulary is taught.

I was also taught some acting styles and techniques, but they were very unfamiliar to me, and I was completely confused about how to interpret the plot.

Asking her to improvise the plot was even more confusing. Fortunately, she was cooperating with Jiang Yang, which made her feel more at ease.

When Yang Chaoyue turned around, his lower back bumped into the noodle stall pillar. Jiang Yang instinctively protected the soup spoon hanging above Yang Chaoyue's head with his palm and asked, "Do you know how to knead dough?"

“No, I just eat.”

"Then I'll knead the dough. I need to use the props."

Taking off the coarse cloth apron stained with years of oil from the pillar, Jiang Yang tied it with difficulty and walked to the front of the stall.
"Don't worry, there's still time. I'll tell you the key points next. Remember as much as you can. If you can use half of it later, you should be able to pass."

"Yeah!" Yang Chaoyue nodded vigorously.

"Give me half a minute to think it over."

Jiang Yang was not idle while thinking.

He took the basin out of the grid, poured in flour, added a pinch of salt, cracked an egg into it, and dug a small well in the middle.

His movements were clumsy. After all, he didn't know how to use flour and noodles to cook noodles. He only knew some basic theoretical steps.

This is not a good thing.

Because he was going to play the role of a noodle stall owner, if his technique was not familiar, the audience would easily be able to tell what was going on. The production team would reduce his shots, and as a result, Yang Chaoyue's shots would also be reduced.

When it comes to kneading dough, practice makes perfect and it’s impossible to learn it in a short period of time.

Unless there is a system.

Jiang Yang used a wooden ladle to scoop water and slowly poured it in, stirring it evenly with chopsticks as he poured the water:

"The steps for kneading the dough aren't difficult. Just mix the flour and water evenly, then cover with a damp cloth and let it rest. Then, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin sheet, fold it, and cut it into noodles of even width. Sprinkle with dry flour to prevent the noodles from sticking... Remember that?"

Yang Chaoyue grabbed his sleeve and listened very attentively.

Every word Jiang Yang said formed a picture in her mind. She nodded thoughtfully: "I remember it."

I remember it.

but.

Something feels wrong.

Why do you remember this yourself?

She wanted to know how to act next, but Brother Yang was teaching her how to knead the dough.

Did Brother Yang teach it wrong?

No, Brother Yang can't possibly teach me wrongly. I will learn whatever Brother Yang teaches me. No one else can get such an opportunity even if they ask for it.

[Under your care, Yang Chaoyue's dough kneading skills have improved. You have received feedback, and your dough kneading skills are +1.]

Trick Yang Chaoyue into learning dough kneading skills and successfully get the attributes!
Jiang Yang felt the newly added properties, including the choice of flour type, the quality of water, the control of the flour-water ratio, the kneading technique and strength, and all these details became concrete in his mind.

After a while, he played the role of the noodle stall owner with ease.

The attributes that should be obtained have been obtained.

Just by looking at Yang Chaoyue's silly look as if he wanted to question him but was hesitant and didn't dare to speak, you could tell that Yang Chaoyue was very anxious.

Tight.

The veins on the back of Jiang Yang's hands rippled with his kneading movements, and he got straight to the point: "In the next performance, since we're going to cooperate, we need to highlight the main and secondary roles. Who will be the protagonist in this scene?"

Brother Yang finally got to the point!

Who is the protagonist?

When Yang Chaoyue heard the word "protagonist", his heart trembled.

Who doesn't want to play the leading role?

Yang Chaoyue subconsciously thought of himself, but quickly rejected the idea.

I don’t know anything, so how can I be qualified to be the protagonist?

Brother Yang is much better than me.

Under Brother Yang's training, I now have many more skills than I did a month ago.

If it weren’t for Brother Yang, I wouldn’t even have the chance to stand here.

Before Yang Chaoyue could answer, Jiang Yang's eyes fell on her: "Chaoyue, you will be the protagonist of this scene!"
