Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 57 Are You Human?
"I saw that you didn't eat the chicken leg for a long time. I thought you didn't like it, so I helped you eat it." Jiang Yang said kindly.

Yang Chaoyue curled his lips.

Who doesn’t like to eat chicken legs?

She was just listening to the gossip of the extras for the first time and was so curious that she didn't have time to eat.

I feel like the boss did it on purpose.

Forget it.

Yang Chaoyue didn't argue with Jiang Yang, grinning: "I'll give you the chicken leg, I still have eggs."

Even without the chicken legs, the food is still better than that in the textile factory.

"You want to give me the eggs too?" Jiang Yang clicked his tongue and poked the eggs in Yang Chaoyue's fast food box with his chopsticks.

Yang Chaoyue looked up at Jiang Yang as he put the egg he had snatched from her into his mouth and took a big bite without hesitation.

The smile on her face froze, and she stopped laughing: "No, Brother Yang, I only have vegetables and shredded potatoes..."

Before he could even utter the words "shredded potatoes", Jiang Yang spoke up, "You want me to eat vegetables too? That's not good."

He picked up the chopsticks and took away the green leaves from Yang Chaoyue's lunch box: "You only eat shredded potatoes, you are too picky."

Yang Chaoyue opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the side dishes in his lunch box.

Now the food is completely worse than the food in a textile factory.

Looking up, Jiang Yang was enjoying her side dishes with peace of mind.

Yang Chaoyue was furious and mustered up the courage to say, "Jiang Yang, I'm still a minor. How could you have the heart to do that to me? Are you human?"

“Pay attention to pronunciation.”

“Are you human?”

Her boss is sometimes very charming, but sometimes he is so mean that he even competes with her for chicken legs.

Although she complained, she did not forget to give Jiang Yang a questioning look. When Jiang Yang nodded, she covered the lunch box and took the seat. She stood up and left, holding Jiang Yang's lapel coat tightly.

Yang Chaoyue went to the lunch station, then came back with a box lunch in his hand.

Newly purchased.

There are nearly a hundred extras rehearsing today. Occasionally, there will be extras who do not eat lunch with the group. The extra lunch boxes can be bought with money, and the price is cheaper than outside, otherwise they will be wasted.

Yang Chaoyue trotted back to the hexagonal pavilion: "I bought it. There were three extra lunch boxes, so I bought one."

She sat back in front of Jiang Yang, hugged her knees with her hands, and leaned her head to glance at Jiang Yang's lunch box.

The chicken leg that Jiang Yang had stolen from her had been eaten until only a chicken carcass was left.

"I know you like chicken legs. Here, I'll give you this one too." Yang Chaoyue opened the newly bought lunch box and gave the chicken leg inside to Jiang Yang: "Don't take the rest from me."

"good."

Jiang Yang smiled and raised his hand to gently touch the wound on Yang Chaoyue's head covered with a waterproof patch: "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt at all. It feels so comfortable when you wash my hair." Yang Chaoyue said with a smile.

……

The next morning, the two came to the "Extreme Challenge" program crew.

The extras signed by Canxing gathered at the square to register, then went to the costume room to change clothes and put on makeup, and were taken by on-site assistants to the shooting location where each person was assigned a role.

However, there were too many extras and the on-site assistants were overwhelmed. The extras who were familiar with the location went there on their own after being informed of the location.

I was taken there because I really didn't know the location.

Yang Chaoyue had already put on the same female beggar makeup as yesterday.

His upper body was a patched coarse linen shirt with a dirty and curled collar, and his lower body was a pair of trousers with the legs tied tightly with strips of cloth, revealing his feet wearing straw sandals.

"Brother Yang, the beggar makeup you gave me looks better than those done by makeup artists in the makeup studio."

Yang Chaoyue followed Jiang Yang and walked towards the shooting location.

The cold wind rushed in through his collar. Yang Chaoyue shrank his neck and shivered with cold.
"Now that I'm dressed, I feel more like a beggar... Hey, Brother Yang, is this the same street we auditioned on yesterday? It's changed so much!"

Passing the alley, the two came to the street where they had the audition yesterday. There was a big sign hanging at the entrance that read: Shu Han Street Market.

On both sides of the street stood low bamboo and wooden houses, with seven or eight linen banners with words like "wine" or "tea" hanging on them.

The rehearsal room was set up as a grain store, with a 5-foot-tall male extra selling pancakes at the door. On the street, extras were acting as coolies carrying sacks stuffed with foam.

There was a couple of extras who were arguing. At first they were arguing in a very literary way using ancient Chinese, but after a few words they switched to speaking in Northeastern dialect.

There were also extras wearing performing arts costumes, lying on the ground and breaking stones with their chests. The stones were made of lightweight molds and the hammers were made of hollow aluminum tubes.

"Brother Yang, where is our noodle stall?" Yang Chaoyue noticed that the original location of the noodle stall was replaced by a pig-killing stall with a prop pig head on display.

The wooden wheelbarrow of the noodle stall that was hidden in the alley yesterday is also gone.

"The noodle stall has been moved to Cao Wei Street arranged by the program team. Just follow me. When you changed your clothes, the on-site assistant told me the location." Jiang Yang said.

"Okay!"

When he actually saw the scenery set up by the program crew, Yang Chaoyue suddenly felt immersed in it.

The immersive experience is more real than what you see on TV.

Jiang Yang frowned slightly, thinking about something.

Normally, his audition with Yang Chaoyue yesterday satisfied both Assistant Director Kang Wen and Chief Director Yan Min, so they would not change positions easily.

There must be some special circumstances.

Each MC guest on the variety show "Extreme Challenge" has a specific area to complete a solo task.

If the position is changed, will the next MC guest to interact with be changed as well?

Originally, he was supposed to interact with Wang Xun, who will it be this time?
When Jiang Yang arrived at Caowei Street where the program crew had set up the stage, he was thinking about this question in his mind.

Among the remaining five permanent guests, Zhang Yixin, Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Huang Lei, and Luo Zhixiang, who will pass by Cao Wei Street and interact with them?

If you meet Zhang Yixin, Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, or Luo Zhixiang, it's all fine. These MC guests are very friendly to extras.

Huang Lei is a bit difficult to deal with and likes to compete with others.

Especially in cooking.

"If I were the director, which guest would be the most interesting to arrange to interact with me and Yang Chaoyue?" Jiang Yang changed his mind and immediately knew the answer.

Huang Lei.

It is most likely Huang Lei.

There are two reasons.

Huang Lei has registered the trademark Huang Xiaochu and is currently developing the Huang Xiaochu persona. He is also the head chef in the variety show "Longing for Life", which is currently being filmed but has not yet been aired. He must be interested in cooking.

During the audition yesterday, Yan Min saw him kneading and cooking noodles.

On the other hand, Yan Min was satisfied with his and Yang Chaoyue's acting skills.

It just so happens that in addition to being an actor, Huang Lei is also a graduate tutor at the Beijing Film Academy, mainly teaching acting courses.

In addition, Huang Lei has a competitive and unyielding personality.

It is easy to find fault with him and Yang Chaoyue in terms of cooking skills and acting skills.

If it is really as he thought, Jiang Yang does not think it is a bad thing, because Huang Lei will be the examiner for the re-examination of the Beijing Film Academy's art exam next year.

Yang Chaoyue took out a small piece of paper from her pocket, on which were written all the lines she would recite when acting with Jiang Yang later.

The note was full of creases. I had memorized it thoroughly last night. I was afraid that I would suddenly get nervous and forget the lines when filming started, so I recited it a few more times to deepen my memory.

After reciting a few sentences, Yang Chaoyue suddenly saw a man in an orange vest running hurriedly past the noodle stall.

Because the whole street is filled with extras in ancient costumes.

Modern attire, on the contrary, seems very abrupt.

It can be seen that they are staff members of the program crew.

After spending a day in the crew, Yang Chaoyue has already figured out some of the program group's established rules, such as when filming begins, staff members are not allowed to appear on camera unless they have completed something very important.

"Brother Yang, what does that staff member do? Is he dealing with some incident?" Yang Chaoyue asked Jiang Yang who was kneading dough beside him.

"The filming hasn't officially started until the MC guest comes. That person should be the script manager of this street, responsible for managing the order of us extras and handling emergencies. He should be explaining some precautions now. Listen carefully." Jiang Yang clapped his hands, stopped making peace, and looked over.

"Oh." Yang Chaoyue also put down the small note in his hand.
