Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 75 Rejected

Jiang Yang came out of the dressing room and arrived at the square. Many extras had already gathered there early. They did not change their clothes but waited in line for food.

Some extras didn't come out of the dressing room, but were already standing in line with their thermoses.

One of the extras, still wearing their headgear, pulled out their phone and took a picture of the styrofoam box containing lunch boxes that the crew had unloaded from a commercial vehicle. They posted it on their WeChat Moments with the caption: [The same meal as the stars. Guess which stars I was acting with today?]
The staff who served the lunch set out the foam boxes of lunch boxes and shouted over the loudspeaker, "Come over and get your hand cards to register, then line up to get your lunch. One box per person!"

Security personnel in uniform were on hand to maintain order.

There are two types of boxed lunches: ordinary boxed lunches and special boxed meals.

Most of the extras lined up to receive ordinary boxed lunches, which consisted of three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

There are only a few special meals in the trunk of the business car.

Jiang Yang didn't have time to look, he walked straight across the square and saw Huang Lei's RV at a glance.

A modified version of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

The bare car price is 150 million, and the total price after modification exceeds 300 million.

A young male extra who had just received a box lunch passed by hurriedly and noticed that this was Huang Lei's RV.

He deliberately slowed down his pace and turned his neck like a radar antenna towards the RV window, trying to peek inside the RV.

But there was nothing to see.

Because the windows were covered with infrared interference film, it looked pitch black from outside.

It can not only serve as a signal shield, but also prevent paparazzi from taking photos with telephoto lenses.

He simply raised his lunch box and took a photo with Huang Lei's RV. When he saw Jiang Yang coming, he put away his phone guiltily and left in a hurry.

After knocking on the door, the RV door slowly opened and Jiang Yang walked in up the stairs.

The air conditioning was on full blast.

A warm breeze blows on my face.

As you enter the door, you will see an expandable electric side cabin, which is as large as a small living room.

There is a hidden induction cooker and imported range hood.

Huang Lei was the only one inside, sitting at a height-adjustable solid wood table, holding a pen, writing a lesson plan for "Film and Television Performance Art."

These were the teaching materials he needed when teaching students in the acting department at Beijing Film Academy.

"Jiang Yang, are you here? Sit wherever you want."

Huang Lei put down his pen, pointed at the sofa opposite and smiled, looking at Jiang Yang with a scrutinizing look.

"Teacher Huang, you called me here..."

Jiang Yang only sat on the front third of the sofa, with his hands lightly placed on his knees and his spine naturally straight.

Huang Lei did not answer immediately, but looked at Jiang Yang for a second.

In the past, he had invited new actors like Jiang Yang to his RV.

Others were so nervous that their thumbs rubbed together.

Or the blinking frequency will subconsciously increase.

Jiang Yang seemed very calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no sign of nervousness.

Huang Lei got straight to the point: "Have you signed an agency contract?"

"No."

When Huang Lei heard that Jiang Yang had not signed an agency contract, he felt relieved.

That would be easy.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled:

"I was just chatting with a former student, Huang Xiaoming. He opened a media company last year. His main business is film and television investment and artist management. He's taking the art exam, so he asked me to help him see if there are any students with good foundations to recommend to him. I just happened to be talking about you."

Huang Lei leaned forward, smiling:

"I recognize your acting skills. Xiao Ming's company invested in 'The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman' last year, which grossed over 2 million yuan. They also commissioned the movie version of 'Love at Siam', which grossed over 3 million yuan. Next year, they're going to start training new artists. This is an opportunity for you."

Jiang Yang understood what Huang Lei meant.

To be honest, Huang Lei was exaggerating a bit because Huang Xiaoming was not his student.

Huang Xiaoming was admitted to Beijing Film Academy in 96, and Huang Lei stayed on to teach at the school in 97. At that time, Huang Xiaoming was already a sophomore, and his professional courses were taught by Cui Xingqin.

To be precise, the relationship between the two at Beijing Film Academy is that of alumni, not teacher and student.

Huang Xiaoming is doing well now, and Huang Lei won't mind if he says he is someone's teacher. It will also give Huang Lei some face, and Jiang Yang can understand.

After all, Huang Lei is very concerned about his reputation.

Just like colleagues would refer to netizens as old friends, leaders often refer to outsourced projects as strategic cooperation, which is normal.

After just one day of meeting, Huang Lei was willing to recommend himself to Huang Xiaoming's company.

To be honest, that's quite nice.

Yixing Media has abundant film and television resources. If it were any other newcomer, they would probably be eager to agree.

"Teacher Huang, thank you very much for your recommendation."

"Actually, my acting today was pretty average. You did such a great job of getting me to put my emotions into the role. Without your guidance, I definitely wouldn't have been able to perform to this level."

"I feel I still have a lot to learn. Otherwise, with my current level, even if I go to Yixing Media, my business ability will be questioned."

Jiang Yang bowed slightly and smiled apologetically, but his bottom line was firm.

Huang Lei was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows raised slightly.

The pen in his hand tapped the table unconsciously.

Jiang Yang refused?
There is no servile rejection, no humble acceptance.

Does this guy have his own life plan?

At such a young age, having never even seen the world, how could he have any life plans? It is likely that he has not lost his youthful arrogance.

A new actor, or more precisely, an extra, refused his recommendation to Huang Xiaoming's company?

It was indeed a bit unexpected, but he had another plan.

The TV series he is starring in is still in the preparation stage.
