Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 95 Gradually Understanding the Class Difference
"Super leap, smart guy."

A smile spread across Jiang Yang's face.

Although Yang Chaoyue's learning efficiency is low, he has a very smart brain.

Previously, in front of Zhao Jinmai, he cooperated with me skillfully without knowing anything.

Because of this tacit understanding, next time I tutor Yang Chaoyue, I can handle it even if it makes me bleed.

Jiang Yang sat back down on the sofa, took out his tablet, and opened the TV series Balala the Fairies, which was released last year. "Have you seen this TV series?"

"have not seen."

Yang Chaoyue's gaze fixed on the actors' makeup: "What exaggerated hairstyles and makeup."

"For a special effects TV series aimed at children and women, this kind of makeup is quite normal. Highly saturated colors and exaggerated shapes are in line with children's imagination of the magical world, so the costumes include colorful headbands and sequined clothes."

Let’s put the topic of makeup aside.

Jiang Yang briefly explained the content of the play to Yang Chaoyue:
"It mainly tells the story of Xiaoyue, the black fairy from Magic Fairy Castle, who steals the colored stones and escapes to the human world. Xiaolan leads Meiqi and Meixue to fight against them. Yan Lili turns over a new leaf, and everyone works together to defeat the dark forces."

While speaking.

He fast-forwarded and froze the scene on a clip of one of the characters:
"This character is called Ling Meiqi, the older sister of Ling Meixue in the series. She's a poor student, a prankster, adventurous, and loves reading comics. As a fairy, she often forgets her spells, and she's especially caring towards her younger sister..."

Yang Chaoyue looked at it seriously, frowning slightly.

Suddenly realizing something, he fixed his gaze: "Is this actress the girl from McDonald's today?"

"Yes, her name is Zhao Jinmai. She's an actress and a child star."

"She's actually a star..."

Yang Chaoyue reacted belatedly and the corners of his mouth tightened a little.

Having my mother's care since childhood and having her accompany me when I travel is exactly what I long for.

He is a few years younger than me and has already played the leading role in a TV series.

But I am still just an extra in a variety show.

Just from the way she dresses, one can tell that Zhao Jinmai's family is much wealthier than his own.

The age difference is not big, but the fate is like a chasm.

Pupils dilated slightly.

Recalling Zhao Jinmai's behavior when I was with her during the day.

Confident, decent and calm.

It was a temperament that I had never seen in my peers in the factory before.

Maybe this is something that children from wealthy families are born with.

Unlike me, who is always timid in doing anything.

The temperament of rich children is an innate gap that is difficult to make up for through acquired efforts.

If Brother Yang hadn't been there, I would have been nervous even ordering a meal at McDonald's, and I would have felt awkward even if Zhao Jinmai had spoken to me.

It’s impossible to say I’m not envious.

It's ok.

My life is very good now.

There is a father who loves you, and there is a mother who cares about you even if she is divorced.

There is a younger sister in my hometown who likes to stick with me and play even though she is from different mothers.

Even at Xiangshan Film and Television City, we felt privileged and had special meals that ordinary extras couldn't have.

the most important is.

I found a good job and met a good boss.

Brother Yang is protecting me.

If I don’t know something, Brother Yang can teach me.

Brother Yang even got me the notice for a supporting role in a TV series.

If you seize the opportunity, you will go further and further in your acting career.

Keep working hard. Even if your final achievement is only as good as Zhao Jinmai's current level, it will be enough.

I can cure my father's back injury, and ensure that my family has enough food, clothes, and lives in safety and health. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

It is both the humble satisfaction of a striver and the sense of resignation to the class ceiling.

It is enough to reach the other party's starting point.

Jiang Yang glanced at Yang Chaoyue, whose eyes looked a little unfocused and his thoughts were in a trance.

Then I understood that Yang Chaoyue was lamenting the gap in material conditions between her and Zhao Jinmai.

After all, Yang Chaoyue had never worn Nike or Adidas before, so he was hesitant to go shopping at Versace.

Zhao Jinmai's daytime outfit includes a plush hat from ZARA, a light blue down jacket from Hennes & Morris, and a plaid skirt from Eland.

Yang Chaoyue may not have been familiar with these brand trademarks before, but now he has an idea of ​​them.

You can see the material of the clothes Zhao Jinmai is wearing.

Zhao Jinmai's family is very common in the entertainment industry. They are not rich. Let Chaoyue first get to know the social classes of families in the entertainment industry little by little.

Take it step by step and get in touch slowly.

Gradually understand the class gap.

This is to avoid becoming famous overnight, losing your mentality, and getting lost like a nouveau riche.

The entertainment industry is sometimes very unfair. The starting points of those second-generation stars and rich second-generations are naturally higher than those newcomers with no background.

Not to mention that behind the counterattack script in the talent show is the ending that has already been determined by capital.

Even the clothing expenses for individual trainees in talent shows and the company's ace trainees are dozens of times different.

In fast fashion stores, some people buy styles while others buy class passes.

The end of a lifelong struggle is just the starting point for some people.

Sometimes it's fair.

Those who rely on their background to grab resources but whose own strength does not match them will be ridiculed by thousands of people and will never be able to make a comeback.

The prerequisite for becoming famous is to be able to withstand the exposure of the entire network.

Use the thinking of vested interests as a weapon on the road ahead.

"Chaoyue, are you envious of Zhao Jinmai?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Yeah..." Yang Chaoyue nodded sincerely.

"Do you feel that your previous experiences are a dark history and want to exchange lives with Zhao Jinmai?"

"I don't have such an idea."

Yang Chaoyue bit his lower lip lightly: "My own experience is also unique, and besides..."

Yang Chaoyue suddenly remembered something Jiang Yang had said casually before.

Her lower lip trembled slightly. She raised her hand, glanced at the raised nail of her right index finger, raised the corner of her lips, and smiled at Jiang Yang with a whisper at the end:

"My past experiences are not black history, they are the path I came from."

"I've learned to fake a smile."

"I learned this from Zhao Jinmai. When she smiles, only her upper teeth are showing, not her fangs. She looks better laughing like this than when she laughs out loud."

Yang Chaoyue spoke with a Yancheng dialect, puzzled, "I don't know why. I always feel that when her mother is not around, she smiles sincerely with us. But when her mother comes back, her smile is pretty, but not happy."

Yang Chaoyue didn't quite understand this.

How could I not be happy when my mother is by my side?

This is exactly what she envied but couldn't get.

"When you are envious of her, she may also be envious of you." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

In the Fog City dialect, "yan yan" means envy.

Yang Chaoyue could understand some of the Fog City words that Jiang Yang uttered from time to time.

"Envy me? Zhao Jinmai is so well-off, why would she envy me? Is this true?"
