Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 46: Good performance can really move people's hearts

Yang Chaoyue lowered his head, suddenly stopped talking, and buried his head in eating noodles.

When he was rehearsing the lines with Jiang Yang before, he thought it was nothing when he heard Jiang Yang say this sentence, but when he saw Jiang Yang say it during the performance, Yang Chaoyue suddenly thought of his father in his hometown of Yancheng.

"I went to your house today and saw your father lying on a moldy mattress, coughing up blood, with no one to take care of him at the door..."

Jiang Yang just said this.

Yang Chaoyue's chewing of noodles suddenly became slow, and each bite seemed difficult to swallow.

The hand holding the chopsticks paused, then trembled slightly.

Her shoulders twitched slightly, as if she was carrying a heavy burden that she could hardly bear.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

I think of my father in my hometown of Yancheng and his poor health.

If she hadn't met Jiang Yang, her father's condition would have become more serious. She couldn't earn money, and she couldn't borrow enough money from relatives to treat the disease.

Maybe one day she will see her old father, who loves her so much, lying on a moldy mattress and coughing up blood.

Yang Chaoyue's eyes slowly transformed from initial longing to pain and sadness, his eyes became dim and tears flowed silently.

"Don't leave. Stay here. Help me with things in the future and I'll pay you." Jiang Yang suddenly said.

"Give...give me money?" Yang Chaoyue's body trembled slightly. He raised his head and wiped the tears from his face. His tone was trembling with an uneasy voice.

"50 wen a month, including food, cooking meat, picking vegetables, rolling noodles, and cleaning, is that okay?"

"Will do!"

Yang Chaoyue stood up and said, "I don't know how to roll noodles yet, but I'll get the hang of it after watching a few more times! I'm a quick learner!"

Her breathing became a little rapid, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

Jiang Yang took the noodles out of the pot, put them into two porcelain bowls, and added some seasonings: "The money is in the cash box. Take this month's 50 coins and advance them to buy medicine for your father. Come over to pick vegetables."

"Okay, okay!"

Yang Chaoyue came to Jiang Yang, but didn't dare to reach into the cash box. He scooped a bucket of clean water to wash his hands, then squatted down to pick vegetables.

Jiang Yang leaned over, the copper coins in his hand made a sound, and he stuffed them into Yang Chaoyue's pocket: "Work carefully, don't dirty my food."

"I know!! Hehe." Yang Chaoyue nodded heavily with a smile on his face.

She turned her back to Jiang Yang and picked vegetables. Her calluses made a rustling sound as they rubbed against the green stems. Her shoulders trembled slightly, accompanied by a few suppressed sobs.

Jiang Yang looked back at Yang Chaoyue, his eyes briefly blank for a moment, then he walked towards Yan Min and Kang Wen with two bowls of steaming noodles, a smile on his face.

At the same time, I listened to the system prompt sound in my mind:
[Under your care, Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have improved. Your acting skills +1]

Jiang Yang swept away his cold attitude towards Yang Chaoyue and said eagerly:

"My two guests, the noodles are here!"

Yan Min and Kang Wen did not touch the two bowls of noodles on the dining table, and even helped to hold the wooden table without saying a word.

The brick-built seat was really uncomfortable under my butt.

Can't take care of these.

The two of them watched Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue's next scenes intently.

But then he saw Jiang Yang return to the noodle stall, leaning over and whispering to Yang Chaoyue, "That's enough. Yan Min is here. The director is very busy and may be leaving any moment. Go over and say hello and leave a good impression."

Yan Min?

Yang Chaoyue's heart skipped a beat, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the mud-stained hem of his dress.

The director who controls the entire rhythm of "Go Fighting" behind the monitor!
A month ago, under Jiang Yang's arrangement, she watched the entire first season of "Go Fighting!" and was deeply impressed by Yan Min, who appeared on the show many times.

She now knew that the chief director was the most influential position in the entire variety show, and her status was even higher than Kang Wen's.

Sure enough, she saw that sitting at the temporary table were not only Kang Wen but also Yan Min, who was also wearing a baseball cap. He was holding the information about extras in his hand and looking at her.

How was the performance just now by myself and Jiang Yang?
Is it over?
This was his first audition and Yang Chaoyue had no idea what he was doing.

She raised her hand to wipe her face. Her already dirty cheeks became even dirtier after being mixed with tears. She and Jiang Yang came to the two directors together.

Bend down and bow.

"Director Yan, Director Kang, our performance is over." Yang Chaoyue was still immersed in the emotions just now, pinching the head of cabbage in his hand, his shoulders twitching slightly, and his nose flowing uncontrollably.

Although she was trying very hard to smile at Yan Min, the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but turn downwards.

“A good performance can really move people’s hearts.”

Yan Min took out a tissue and handed it to Yang Chaoyue, saying with a smile, "Wipe it first. What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Chaoyue, Director Yan."

The name seemed familiar. Yan Min's eyes fell on Jiang Yang: "What's your name?"

"Director Yan, my name is Jiang Yang."

There was still some sweat left on Jiang Yang's forearm from kneading the dough, and he had a smile on his face, without any of the delicate businessman temperament of the noodle stall owner just now.

Yan Min was about to say something when the intercom on his waist began to make a crackling sound.

The inn's set designer rearranged the kitchen's earthen stove and the guest room's wardrobe and urged Yan Min to check them.

There was no time for small talk. Seeing that Yang Chaoyue's mood had almost calmed down, Yan Min directly asked about the topic that interested him: "Who did the plot arrangement and the beggar's makeup?"

"The plot was arranged by Brother Yang, and my makeup was also done by Brother Yang." Yang Chaoyue's emotions had almost calmed down, and he answered truthfully.

"Jiang Yang, have you ever run errands on the set before?"

"I just drew it randomly."

Yan Min looked at the handsome young man carefully and quickly flipped through the information sheet handed to him by Kang Wen.

Suddenly I remembered something.

Jiang Yang? Yang Chaoyue?

I remembered!

These are the two extras that Canxing Casting Director Tang Shuliang recommended to him last time, and they are the two in front of him.

At that time, I subconsciously thought that Tang Shuliang was using his connections to get people in, so I didn't take it to heart.

Now I think that Tang Shuliang has a good eye for talent. If there are new projects that require actors in the future, I can contact Tang Shuliang more often.

"The acting is quite good, there are no flaws. Time is tight, so I won't say anything else. This is just a rehearsal. Tomorrow, the opportunity will arrange for you to perform on the MC guest's solo mission route. If you keep up this plot and rhythm, you will most likely attract the MC guest."

Yan Min reminded: "If the footage is edited for more than 10 minutes, you can increase your pay. It is worth noting that the interaction between the MC guests and you is entirely up to you. After all, the program team does not have a script for the MC guests. They only have their own main tasks. Act well and I look forward to your film results."

Yan Min added, "If you run into Sun Honglei, it's best to have a contingency plan. He might break the rules and rob you."

After saying that, Yan Min stood up, patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder, nodded and smiled at Yang Chaoyue, then took out the walkie-talkie and trotted towards the inn.

"You passed the audition. No need to clean up here. The stage manager will make arrangements later. By the way, let me tell you about the precautions for tomorrow's filming. I rarely see Director Yan praise the extras, but that guy often praises the props he bought and encourages them to perform well..."

Kang Wensai handed two business cards to Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue: "Call me if you need anything. You can go to the makeup room to remove your makeup. By the way, lunch boxes will be distributed at 12 o'clock. Have a good rest in the afternoon. Meet at the square with the other extras at 8 o'clock tomorrow."

After saying this, Kang Wen walked towards the inn where the scenery was still being set up.

The set-up work the day before the shoot had not been completed yet, and the production crew was the busiest at this time.

"Brother Yang, did we pass Director Kang's audition?" Yang Chaoyue was still a little dazed, but his tense shoulders finally relaxed, and his voice ended with a slight tremor of sob.
