Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 90 Supporting Yourself for No Reason
I worked really hard, but didn't make any progress.

No wonder I didn’t receive any system prompts.

He taught responses with high emotional intelligence, not low emotional intelligence responses that would make people angry: "Yang Chaoyue, you are so stupid."

Yang Chaoyue's eyes flashed with lightning-like shrewdness: "Ah, right, right, I'm stupid, okay? You're smart as hell... Brother Yang, how am I doing?"

"You learned it well. Don't learn it next time. When you meet the main creative team of the crew, just have a polite chat. I will help you solve any problems you have."

Jiang Yang quickly changed the subject and responded with high emotional intelligence: "I'll take you to buy some clothes later."

"No need, Brother Yang, I have clothes to wear."

"You're going to the audition wearing this old cotton jacket with the sleeves ripped off, or this chiffon skirt with the sleeves torn into strips? It doesn't fit the role, and it doesn't reflect professionalism in terms of clothing."

Jiang Yang said solemnly, "You used Huang Lei's connections to audition directly in front of the creative team without submitting any actor information for screening. You bypassed the casting director and didn't go through the initial or re-interview. This is an opportunity that many people dream of, so you'd better demonstrate your professionalism."

Seeing that Yang Chaoyue was listening attentively, his blinking frequency slowed down unconsciously.

Realize the value of this opportunity.

There was the surprise of being chosen, the pressure of whether or not she was worthy of the role, and the question of how to repay Brother Yang for what he owed her.

Just by looking at Yang Chaoyue's expression, Jiang Yang knew that what he said was effective.

Yang Chaoyue is so kind.

Climbing up step by step from the bottom, growing clumsily but sincerely.

I have long wanted to buy Yang Chaoyue a new set of clothes.

Never had the chance.

Finally caught him.

Winter allows Yang Chaoyue to take off his heavy cotton jacket and put on a new down jacket.

So would it be difficult to get Yang Chaoyue to take off his jeans and put on stockings in summer?

Jiang Yang continued, "Putting on the right clothes for the role you're auditioning for will allow the creative team of 'A Little Farewell' to feel your understanding of the character, which will help you get into the role better during the audition."

He added: "You might not be the only actor auditioning for the role of Rose. If other actors audition in casual clothes, you will be more conspicuous in your character costume, which will make the creative staff give you priority."

That’s enough, that’s all.

Jiang Yang said nothing more.

The warm air from the air conditioner fan blades in the living room blows gently.

The air conditioner outdoor unit hummed on the balcony.

After Jiang Yang finished eating the noodles, he slowly peeled the tea egg and carefully looked at Yang Chaoyue's expression.

Seeing Yang Chaoyue lowering his head slightly, his hands folded on his knees, he unconsciously pursed his lips, and his corrugator muscles slightly contracted.

Jiang Yang knew that Yang Chaoyue had been persuaded and was struggling with his thoughts, his breathing rhythm sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

He didn't mind adding fuel to the fire: "Chaoyue, your father would be happy if you wore new clothes and went back to your hometown in Yancheng for the New Year, right?"

The words fell.

Yang Chaoyue raised his head and his shoulders suddenly sank.

Jiang Yang continued:
"If you dress well, your relatives in Xingang Village will think you're living well in the big city, and your father will feel more confident in front of them, right?"

Making parents feel confident in front of relatives is the original motivation for small town test-takers to work hard to climb up.

"correct."

Yang Chaoyue nodded slowly, as if he had thought of something, his gaze wandering as if he was looking at dust in the air.

Then he shrank his neck.

His palm stroked the wrinkles on the hem of his cotton jacket.

This old cotton-padded jacket was bought for me by my father with the money he saved up in his hometown.

I was a few centimeters shorter than I am now.

Before I knew it, the cotton-padded jacket was becoming a little tight, and Dad looked older.

"Brother Yang, I understand. It's time to buy a new set of clothes, but I have a request."

"Ok?"

"Don't pay me, I have money."

I knew Yang Chaoyue would say that.

Jiang Yang smiled relievedly. "Let's talk later. After dinner, clean up and call me. Let's go to Wanda Plaza. The clothes there aren't that expensive, and the quality is better than the clothing stores on the street."

Hearing the words "Wanda Plaza", Yang Chaoyue's eyes suddenly became distracted, and he forced a smile: "Okay, okay."

He lowered his head to avoid looking at Jiang Yang.

I heard from colleagues before that winter clothes are very expensive in Wanda Plaza.

The cheap ones cost a few hundred, and usually the price is over a thousand.

I have never bought such expensive clothes, nor have I been to such a large supermarket. I looked at it from a distance and felt that it was not a place for me to spend money, so I didn't dare to go in.

I wanted to ask Jiang Yang to change places, but I swallowed the words back.

Jiang Yang didn't bring up the subject until he finished breakfast and returned to the master bedroom.

His back slightly bent, he pinched the corner of his clothes, and his shoulders unconsciously hunched inward.

There is both inferiority complex caused by the gap in reality, and timidity when facing high-end consumption places.

But it is also something that one is destined to experience in the process of growing up.

Just like the feeling of being cramped when I went to the airport for the first time, the shock of arriving at the set of the film and television city for the first time, and the impact of seeing Yang Ge and Huang Leiyan’s rivalry with my own eyes.

This kind of cognitive boundary has been expanded to the point of being helpless, but as long as you step over it, you will gain a lot.

In order to get this notice, Brother Yang owed a favor to Huang Lei, who carefully planned an audition method for him, which is something no one else could ask for.

Absolute trust and blind obedience.

There is dependence, admiration, and uneasiness.

You have to listen to what Brother Yang says.

Jiang Yang returned to the master bedroom, stood in front of the full-length mirror, and stared at himself.

The words I just said to Yang Chaoyue also apply to me.

Yang Chaoyue auditioned for the role of Rose, and her appearance was suitable.

But I am different.

In my previous life, I saw a 35-year-old programmer pretending to be young to take private jobs, and I saw married women without children hiding their marital status when applying for jobs.

They're all pretending to be young.

I also need to work hard in this area.

I am three years older than the character Zhang Xiaoyu in the original drama.

Huang Lei said at the time that his facial contours were smooth and that he could use makeup to modify his age.

Don't listen to that old fox.

Huang Lei was only concerned with whetting his appetite so that he could lower the price.

If a 28-year-old plays a 25-year-old character, the difference in appearance is not big. If an 18-year-old plays a 15-year-old character, the difference in appearance is somewhat obvious.

First of all, height.

He is 1.8 meters tall, which cannot be changed. This is definitely a disadvantage.

Most 15-year-old boys are not this tall.

Then there's the sound.

15-year-old boys are usually in the voice change period, and their vocal cords will gradually grow longer and thicker.

Because the chest cavity has not yet fully developed, the resonance cavity is pointed.

Jiang Yang took out his phone and recorded himself: "Hello, Director. My name is Jiang Yang. I'm from the foggy city of Sichuan Province. I'm auditioning for the role of Chen Xiaoyu."

Play it once at the original magnification, and then listen carefully again at 0.5 magnification.

Remember the underlying tone of your voice.

Mobilizing my acting attributes, I suddenly had an idea of ​​the voice of a 15-year-old boy in my mind.

In comparison, the vibration frequency of my voice is lower, the texture is more powerful, and with the resonance of the oral and nasal cavities, it is rounder and louder.

Simply put, it sounds more magnetic.

It's a disadvantage.

I'm not acting in an idol drama.

Needs to change.

Jiang Yang increased the vibration frequency of his vocal cords, raising the overall pitch, and recorded: "I am Chen Xiaoyu."

Try it several times.

The tone sounds noticeably tinny and bright.

Then adjust your speaking breath so that your vocal part relies on your throat, making the voice thinner.

Finally, change the resonance of your speech.

Raise the soft palate and open the teeth to allow the sound to resonate in the mouth and head cavity, making the tone crisp.

Speak faster and keep your rhythm varied.

After more than a dozen trials and errors, Jiang Yang's voice gradually became steady. When he found the right balance, he called out, "Yang Chaoyue, are you done? Come in and clean my room."

The words fell.

There was no response from Yang Chaoyue. A few seconds later, the half-open master bedroom door was carefully pushed open by Yang Chaoyue.

Yang Chaoyue held the broom handle in his hand and looked inside cautiously.

His face was tense, and it didn't look like he was coming in to sweep the floor, but to sweep people.

"Super Leap?" Jiang Yang returned to his original voice and tilted his head to look.

"Brother Yang, were you calling me just now?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just didn't hear it clearly for a moment, and I thought it was something else, so I thought it wasn't you in the room."

Yang Chaoyue didn't think much and walked into Jiang Yang's room.

She passed by Jiang Yang and started cleaning from the innermost corner of the bed.

"What sound did you hear?"

"He looks a bit like a boy in my junior high school class."

Hear the words.

Jiang Yang knew what was going on.

The voice has been practiced almost to the point, and the efficiency is very high. Fortunately, I have a cheat.

Yang Chaoyue lay on the floor, sweeping the dust under the bed.

The mop handle she was holding banged against the edge of the bed. "That boy was very naughty. He once made me angry, so I took apart the class broom and hit him. I accidentally broke his thumb, and my junior high school teacher scolded him severely in front of the class. He also said a few words to me. I was ignorant at the time and didn't hold back. I feel embarrassed when I think about it now."

Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He touched his thumb and didn't dare to say anything.

Keep looking in the mirror.

After solving the voice problem, the next thing to deal with is the external facial problem.

His face is indeed smoother, and has a bit more sharpness and maturity than a 15-year-old boy.

Makeup can be used for modification, but it cannot match the multi-angle shooting and lighting.

So you need to eat some fat.

Make your facial contours not only smoother but also softer, your cheeks fuller and your jawline weakened.

Gaining 5 pounds is enough.

It feels like cramming for a workout before a blind date.

The system can't help you with this, you can only rely on yourself.

Eat more high-calorie foods these days, especially more midnight snacks.

As an actor, you must have the ability to control your body shape.

But there is nothing I can do about my height. It would be great if Yang Chaoyue could knock me down a few centimeters with one punch.

"Chao Yue, what did that boy say about you at that time?"

"He said I... said my mother doesn't want me anymore. In fact, he said it more than once, many times." Yang Chaoyue pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned down.

How did you feel at that time?
I remembered it all of a sudden.

They want to use fighting to prove that children from migrant worker families are not easy to bully.

I even want to use premature love to fill the gap in my heart that no one wants me.

In the end, I managed to hold it in.

Because I know that my father loves me, my mother will still care about me even though she is divorced from my father and has a new family and new children.

Moreover, if I didn't admit my mistake at that time, my parents would be called to the school.

I don't want to see Daddy embarrassed.

I don't want to see Daddy's bent back.

"Why didn't you beat him to death?" Jiang Yang suddenly said.

"The head teacher won't allow it."

"Kill them together."

Yang Chaoyue raised her head, holding the broom handle, and saw Jiang Yang saying violent words but smiling at her: "If I had signed you as an employee back then, I would have at least scolded your head teacher until he cried."

Yang Chaoyue felt warm in his heart and started to smile too.

Unreasonably supporting himself is indeed what Brother Yang would do.

When you are away from home, no one will support you regardless of right or wrong, except Brother Yang.

Wandering in another place, in the shared house, Jiang Yang is his family.
