Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 104 The taste of freedom is like stolen candy, so sweet it's almost sickening.

Got the attribute!

Continue to let Zhao Jinmai learn.

Keep harvesting.

Zhao Jinmai, however, showed no intention of continuing the lesson: "Alright, alright, let's stop here for today."

"You're not going to learn anymore?"

"My mom finally stopped staying here, so we'll see each other more often from now on. You'll be in charge of doing my makeup, okay?"

Once filming officially begins, my mom won't be able to be on set with the crew all the time.

From now on, Jiang Yang will be considered one of our own.

The makeup skills were good enough; Zhao Jinmai could tell.

Therefore, having Jiang Yang do her makeup is a win-win situation for her, and it can even improve Jiang Yang's future treatment as a makeup assistant, leading to a promotion.

If she becomes famous in the future, the experience of Jiang Yang doing her makeup will also increase Jiang Yang's value.

The crew members at the bottom all work very hard. After all, Jiang Yang had been through thick and thin with me. A few days ago, he made me experience a brief moment of rebellion at McDonald's. It's the same now. I'll help him if I can.

"Hey kid, can I borrow your phone for a bit? What level are you on in Candy Crush? I'll help you pass it."

"What did you call me?" Jiang Yang put his phone away.

“Brother, Brother Jiangyang.” Zhao Jinmai changed her Northeastern accent and spoke in Mandarin, with a bright, fake smile on her face.

She wrapped her arms around Jiang Yang's.

She's as well-behaved as a girl next door.

"Let's play."

Jiang Yang handed his phone to Zhao Jinmai, took off his apron and headband, moved a stool, and sat down by the door: "I'll keep watch for you. Let me know when your mom comes."

"You're suddenly being so nice to me, I'm almost embarrassed to call you 'little trash' anymore, Brother Jiang Yang."

She added, "The food has been good these past few days. You've gotten quite chubby; I didn't even recognize you at first."

Zhao Jinmai slumped on the sofa, her elbows lazily resting on the armrests.

When my mother is around, I require myself to be mindful of my manners, my smile, and the speed and tone of my speech when talking to others.

There are countless ways to live in the adult world, but one's own script only has one page: 'being obedient'.

Sometimes a camera can make you look like a painting, but nobody knows how many nails are hammered into the frame.

It's rare that I'm not being filmed by cameras these days, and my mom isn't around either.

You can play with a mobile phone.

It's comfortable.

I hope Mom comes back later.

The sound effect of completing the game played on my phone.

This feeling of freedom is like stolen candy, so sweet it's almost unbearable, and you're afraid of being discovered.

"Jiang Yang, I cleared the game... Hey, what are you looking at?" Zhao Jinmai looked up.

Jiang Yang sat at the entrance of the dressing room, holding a small notebook in his hand: "Character Biographies".

"The TV series 'A Little Reunion'?"

"Yes, Zhang Xiaoyu's share."

Why would Jiang Yang, a makeup assistant, be reading character biographies?
There are plenty of these in the group; they're not hard to get.

"Do you want to be an actress?" Zhao Jinmai asked.

"I'm an actor, and I'll be playing this role in a bit." "Are you trying to fool a three-year-old? What actor is as good at makeup as you? And with your height, you're not a good match for Zhang Xiaoyu's character at all..."

That’s what I said.

Zhao Jinmai paused in her speech, put down her phone, sat up, and fixed her gaze on Jiang Yang.

From the perspective of character suitability, quickly scan Jiang Yang's hairline, nose, lips, and clothing.

Jiang Yang has indeed gained some weight in the few days I haven't seen him.

However, it also seemed a bit immature.

The tone of voice he used earlier was also very well controlled and appropriate for Zhang Xiaoyu's age.

Even his current image fits Zhang Xiaoyu.

The only thing is his height, he's a bit too tall... I must be overthinking it, I don't believe Jiang Yang is an actor.

Zhao Jinmai was too lazy to think about it.

I was actually a little envious.

I envy Jiang Yang for not being supervised and being able to do what he likes in his spare time.

Unlike me, after filming, I can't stop; I have to do homework and study.

She continued to sprawl on the sofa, playing Candy Crush.

"Zhao Jinmai, stop playing around."

"What?"

"You like playing on your phone that much?"

"That's amazing. It's rare to be able to control your own virtual life."

Zhao Jinmai didn't even lift her eyelids: "You need to use your phone? Wait until I finish this level."

"Your mother is here."

Zhao Jinmai quickly looked up, her smile vanished, and her gaze swept over the half-closed wooden door of the dressing room.

Turn off your phone screen immediately.

Return the phone to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang took the phone, turned off the match-3 game, and the phone vibrated, receiving a voice message from Huang Lei.

Jiang Yang held the phone to his ear to listen:
"Xiao Jiang, have you and Chao Yue arrived yet? It's the film and television base in Songjiang District. If you haven't arrived yet, come as soon as possible, before 10 o'clock. The producer and director are almost here. Line up at the entrance to submit your character information. I've already spoken to the production assistant who's screening the information; it's just a formality. The publicity team has arranged for cameras to shoot footage."
He typed: [“Chaoyue and I have passed the document screening at the entrance and are now in the dressing room.”]
Huang Lei replied: ["Quickly, good job. You two wait in the dressing room. Someone will call you in a bit. Zhao Jinmai might also be in the dressing room. If you run into her, chat with her. During the audition, the director will arrange for Zhao Jinmai to act opposite you to give you some background information. Another actor competing with you for Zhang Xiaoyu is here, named Hu Xianxu. Like Zhao Jinmai, he's a child star. The audition will be based on your own abilities. That's all I can do to help you."]
really.

Chen Nuo, who played Rose in the original series, is here, as is Hu Xianxu, who played Zhang Xiaoyu.

Jiang Yang knew his strengths and weaknesses.

Do your best.

If it weren't for my cheat code, I really wouldn't dare to compete with Hu Xianxu for this role. I wouldn't even be able to pass the resume screening at the door.

The preparations were thorough.

Jiang Yang was unusually calm.

Huang Lei sent another message: ["Don't feel too much pressure. Just give your and Chao Yue's acting a normal performance. I'll put in a good word for you with the director and producer."]
"Thank you, Teacher Huang."
"Don't mention it. You live in the SJ district, right? Perfect timing. When we're done and it's lunchtime, I'll buy some groceries and cook for you two. I'll show off my skills. Last time at Xiangshan Film City, that bowl of noodles was so salty, I really felt bad about it."
Is Huang Lei going to cook at his own home?
Jiang Yang's upper body was stiff, and his toes were digging into the soles of his shoes.

Jiang Yang really enjoyed Yang Chaoyue's cooking.

Huang Lei came to cook, and Jiang Yang wanted to call the police.

The mentality is broken.
