Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

In front of Meng Ziyi were special actors playing the roles of officials.

Only a silhouette is shown.

This scene mainly features close-ups and facial close-ups of Meng Ziyi.

She placed her hands clasped in front of her knees, bowed slightly, and straightened her back, without a trace of obsequiousness: "My lord!"

The voice was not loud.

With an undeniable earnestness, he said, "You say General Zhao is a traitor, but Shi Yan doesn't believe it!"

As she finished speaking, she slightly raised her eyes: "I have followed the general for three years, from Youzhou to Changshan. He has protected displaced people, rescued strangers, and even spared no harm to surrendered enemy soldiers. How could such a person betray his country?"

Meng Ziyi's voice trembled slightly.

There was no fear.

It was a mixture of heartache and resentment.

The camera operator was slightly adjusting the camera's focus when he heard Meng Ziyi's trembling yet firm lines.

He subconsciously leaned forward.

His eyes were fixed on the viewfinder, not even daring to blink, afraid of missing a single emotion in her eyes.

"The day before yesterday, when the enemy besieged the city, it was the general who took the lead and led his brothers to defend the city gate to the death. Even when he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, he did not retreat half a step. Last night, when the army was short of food, it was the general who distributed his own dry rations to the soldiers and ate half a frozen wheat cake before going up to the city wall. How can you convict such a loyal and righteous man based on just an anonymous letter?"

Speaking of it.

Mencius suddenly straightened up.

This scene was originally already filmed.

Because there are enough lines.

Guo Jianyong could tell that Meng Ziyi was still caught up in the emotions, and he hadn't stopped reciting his lines.

So they had to keep acting until the assistant director yelled "cut".

The performance continued until Meng Ziyi misspoke his lines and revealed a flaw.

Bai Lu watched as Meng Ziyi clenched his fists so tightly his nails almost dug into his palms, her tone suddenly becoming more forceful, carrying a resolute air of desperation:

"Shi Yan is of lowly status and dares not question your decision, sir. I only beg you to give the general a chance to prove his innocence! If the general truly harbors disloyalty, I am willing to share the blame with him and submit to your judgment. I will face any hardship without hesitation!"

"The general often said that loyalty and righteousness are more important than life itself. He is protecting the country and the people. Now that he is imprisoned, Shi Yan cannot let him lose heart."

At last.

Meng Ziyi slowly knelt down.

His forehead touched the ground, his voice choked with suppressed sobs: "I beg you, my lord, have mercy and release the general! I, Shi Yan, swear on my life that General Zhao has no ulterior motives! If he utters even the slightest lie, may my soul perish here forever!"

After she finished speaking, she remained in a kneeling position.

There was a slight undulation in the shoulders.

But it only makes the tragic forbearance more apparent.

On the monitor, the light from the lighting crew fell on the top of her head, making her figure appear both small and magnificent.

A seemingly insignificant maidservant was willing to risk everything for the loyalty and righteousness in her heart.

Her profile was taut, her eyes brimming with tears that hadn't yet fallen, and she bit her lip hard to keep them from coming down.

Bai Lu, who had been chatting away with Jiang Yang, fell silent.

He stared blankly at Meng Ziyi.

At first, I was just curious and wanted to see what would happen.

But as Meng Ziyi's lines progressed, her expression changed from surprise to emotion, and she eventually became completely immersed in the story.

Especially when Meng Ziyi slowly knelt down, Bai Lu pursed her lips.

His acting wasn't as good as Jiang Yang's usual performances.

But it's also undeniably touching.

She turned to look at Jiang Yang: "Boss, you're amazing... Sister Meng's acting skills are absolutely incredible!"

No one spoke on the entire set.

Only Meng Ziyi's lines echoed in the air, carrying a power that penetrated the heart.

Some people forgot their work, while others looked at Jiang Yang with admiration.

All attention was focused on the slender figure kneeling on the ground.

At this moment, Shi Yan was no longer just words on a script, but a living, breathing woman standing before me, carrying the loyal and passionate maid with her small body.

Guo Jianyong watched intently.

One can see the stubbornness in Shi Yan, played by Meng Ziyi, who would rather die than live in dishonor, and the sincerity of protecting loyalty with his own body.

This brought the entire set to an absolute silence.

A moment later, Guo Jianyong burst out laughing: "Shi Yan acted well, hahahaha."

He was praising Meng Ziyi.

But what they were looking at was the direction of Jiang Yang.

Because she noticed that Jiang Yang and Bai Lu were walking towards the city gate, which was the outer edge of the film set: "Where are you going, Jiang Yang? Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to stay a little longer?"

"Chaoyue and the others finished work and went back to the hotel."

"What does that have to do with you? Wait a little longer, come on, come on."

Guo Jianyong put down his headset and chased after him.

Previously, Meng Ziyi's scene was filmed repeatedly for an hour, but Meng Ziyi still couldn't get into character.

Jiang Yang had only been there a short time, but Meng Ziyi had already fully settled into her role.

The efficiency gains can all be converted into money.

"I really can't rest, Director. Chaoyue's college entrance exam scores are out. I'm back at the hotel to check them. Everyone in the group is calling me over."

"That's fine."

Guo Jianyong leaned closer and whispered, "Jiang Yang, I've noticed you're really good to your Yang Chaoyue. Isn't Meng Ziyi prettier than Chaoyue?"

Meng Ziyi's scenes are almost finished.

If things go smoothly, we can finish filming today.

Next, all you need to do is shoot some backup shots; it's not difficult.

Therefore, Guo Jianyong knew very well that Jiang Yang was leaving this time and might never come to his film crew again.

We can no longer rely on Jiangyang to save efficiency.

He added, "Ziyi's family is wealthy. I've heard from Ziyi that you're interested in making movies and TV series. Let me tell you, you should get closer to Ziyi. Maybe you can even get investment from her family. Seriously, I think Ziyi is quite interested in you. Let's stay a little longer."

"It's different. Don't let Chaoyue's carefree and thick-skinned nature fool you. She's fine no matter what you say. The college entrance exam is very important to her... Anyway, I have to go. I'm leaving now. I can't talk anymore. Director, you promised that if there's a suitable role in the next film, you should reserve one for me."

"Alright, alright... Jiang Yang, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you've been given a chance and you're not up to it! Ziyi is such a wonderful girl," Guo Jianyong sighed.

Jiang Yang was too lazy to argue with him any further.

He was given a chance but he didn't take it.

I've already ejaculated inside her.

Seeing the car arranged by Guo Jianyong drive up, Jiang Yang got in without turning his head.

The acting skills we've extracted from Meng Ziyi today have reached their limit.

Guo wants to get something for nothing? Dream on.

As soon as I got into the car and turned my head to look out the window, I saw Meng Ziyi running towards me.

The tears on her eyelashes hadn't dried completely, and she still felt a bittersweet ache from just coming out of character: "Jiang Yang!"

I originally wanted to spend more time with Jiang Yang.

I know that Jiang Yang cares a lot about Chaoyue.

Even after the results of the college entrance examination for students who have surpassed their peers are released, they still make a special trip back to see them

Three years have passed since she took the college entrance examination.

I still remember when she was in the science experimental class at Changchun No. 11 Middle School, she was a bright and outstanding student in everyone's eyes, but suddenly she made up her mind to switch to the path of art.

Like Zhou Ye from Jiangyang Company, he recklessly plunged into the torrent of art exams with zero foundation.

She was so proud back then.

With sheer tenacity, she passed the professional exams at both the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama.

His academic scores exceeded the local second-tier university admission line by nearly 60 points, allowing him to successfully enter the Beijing Film Academy.

She once thought she was exceptionally talented and felt that it was only natural for her to reach the peak of her career right from the start.

But reality dealt her a heavy blow.

There were many people in the school who were more talented and worked harder than her. Chen Yao from the next class always learned faster than her. In her sophomore year, she signed with Tangren Media and starred in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," becoming a well-known actress.

Zhang Wanyi was also able to get roles early on.

Her pride crumbled silently under the crushing weight of her professional competence.

When I visited the set during my sophomore year, I read the script for the drama "Yue Qiluo," starring Chen Yao.

At the time, I felt that this role had a lot of depth, and if I could play it well, it would definitely be well received... It's a pity it wasn't me.

Back in the dorm, I wanted to bury myself under the covers and cry my heart out, but I fell asleep as soon as I did.

It wasn't until my junior year of college that I finally got a decent role.

But when filming first started, everyone who mentioned her only referred to her as the very beautiful newcomer.

I know she only managed to gain a foothold in the industry because of her looks.

If it weren't for Jiang Yang, Shi Yan in "God of War Zhao Yun" would most likely have just been a minor supporting character with decent looks but mediocre acting skills, disappearing without a trace after the show aired, let alone getting a major variety show opportunity like "Mars Intelligence Agency." And Jiang Yang?

They've been in the industry for less than a year.

All connections and resources are built up from scratch.

Actually, I knew all along that Jiang Yang's company was just an obscure shell company from the beginning.

Back then, they could only trick factory girls like Yang Chaoyue, who had no background or resources, into signing contracts.

Yang Chaoyue himself was well aware of this.

But who would have thought that he would actually promote Yang Chaoyue?

They not only gave Yang Chaoyue acting opportunities, but also supported him in taking the college entrance examination.

It completely rewrote that girl's fate.

Now, every artist in the company is getting roles in big-budget film and television dramas and appearing on popular variety shows on Youku. Even she, who is just a friend and an outsider, has been given a helping hand by Jiang Yang.

Looking at Jiang Yang's increasingly dazzling figure, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't jealous.

She was jealous of Yang Chaoyue and the others, who were fortunate enough to have a boss like Jiang Yang who was willing to go all out to train newcomers and share his knowledge, and who had such great resources poured into them, enabling them to achieve a qualitative leap in just a few months and easily surpass the heights that she had struggled for three years to reach.

But this jealousy was quickly replaced by a deeper sense of envy and relief.

She envied their good fortune.

Even more fortunate is that Jiang Yang did not become arrogant because of his newfound fame.

She still maintained that pure sincerity and was willing to help Meng Jie, who wasn't exactly a close friend.

Meng Ziyi, holding the hem of her costume, ran to the outer edge of the film set.

The generator truck was humming loudly nearby. Seeing Jiang Yang get on the bus, and afraid that Jiang Yang wouldn't hear him, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "When you go to Changsha to film, call me! My scenes are almost finished, and I'll go with you guys then!"

"Huh?" Jiang Yang opened the window.

“Anyway, I’ll wait for you! Jiang Yang!” Meng Ziyi shouted again.

"What?!"

"You didn't do it on purpose?"

"What?!"

Bai Lu skillfully adjusted the seat back angle and pouted, "Boss, I beg you, just call Sister Meng directly. We've been killing people here all this time."

The distance from Zhan Guo City to the Marriott Hotel is not far.

There are quite a few traffic lights, though it's less than a half-hour drive.

Yang Chaoyue's room was booked by the crew of the TV series "Fighter of the Destiny".

A suite just like the one in Jiangyang.

It's comparable to the treatment of the lead actor.

Given Yang Chaoyue's status, he should normally be staying in a regular double room.

Unlike now, there won't be dedicated room service, with someone delivering a warm breakfast to your room in the morning.

But Guo Jianyong didn't care about these things.

They were only giving Jiang Yang face.

"Chaoyue, do you have any food in your room? I'm starving! I only ate a few packs of biscuits that Bailu brought me for lunch, and it wasn't enough," Jiang Yang shouted as soon as he entered the room.

"I don't have any food in my room, Yang-ge."

Yang Chaoyue glanced at the kettle.

She poured Jiang Yang a glass: "There's only drinking here. Why don't you drink some hot water to fill your stomach first?"

"Wouldn't that burn your brother Yang?" Bai Lu said, trying not to laugh.

"What got burned?"

Yang Chaoyue did not understand what Bailu meant.

Liu Haochun and Tian Xiwei, who were at the computer desk, also looked over. One looked confused, while the other's eyes sparkled as she waited for Bai Lu to explain.

Jiang Yang glared at Bai Lu and said, "Can't you just shut up and die? Can't you say something meaningful?"

Apart from Bailu, everyone in this room is a high school graduate.

Sometimes I really feel that I should always keep Bailu (White Dew) with me.

Otherwise, if Bai Lu is mixed in with Xi Wei and Chao Yue, sooner or later Chao Yue and the others will also start spouting lewd remarks.

"Brother Yang, I'm so nervous!" Yang Chaoyue sat back down at his computer desk, and the thought of finding out his college entrance exam score made him incredibly nervous.

"That's normal. My hands were shaking when I checked my scores yesterday too," Tian Xi said with a smile.

Bai Lu opened the chat history on her phone: "Zhou Ye has such a good attitude. Let me tell you, I talked to Zhou Ye yesterday. She checked her scores alone in an internet cafe. When she found out she got in, she went back to delivering food."

"What score did Zhou Ye get?" Liu Haochun asked.

"Haochun, look."

Liu Haochun peeked at the total score, which was over 470, similar to Tian Xiwei's score.

He scored more than 100 points higher than her.

I'm somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, she only found out about Zhou Ye's score now; otherwise, if her mother had asked about it yesterday, she would have had another reason to criticize her.

Even though I don't care as much about what my mother says anymore.

I still feel sad.

Among her friends who have received their scores, everyone scored better than her.

The leap forward is still left...

In the college entrance examination math papers from Jiangsu, there were questions on trigonometric functions.

And I also heard yesterday how Yang Chaoyue answers questions about translating classical Chinese texts.

It gave her hope.

Liu Haochun looked at Yang Chaoyue sitting at the computer desk, her eyes sparkling.

"Haochun, are your hands shaking? What's wrong? Did you not perform well in the scene this morning?" Jiang Yang gently held Liu Haochun's hand.

"No, no, it's just that I got nervous watching Chao Yue score," Liu Haochun replied.

"Chunbao, my dear Chunbao."

Hear the words.

Yang Chaoyue looked over.

She got up, put her arm around Liu Haochun's neck, and kissed him: "Your love for me is all fake, just words. Only Chunbao's is real. Physical reactions don't lie."

"Chaoyue, don't say that, it makes me feel guilty," Liu Haochun said softly, speaking the truth.

"You're just being modest."

Yang Chaoyue laughed and said, "Actually, I'm not that nervous. I just don't know whether I'll be applying to Tsinghua or Peking University. Really, I'm very confident. I've finished all the questions on every exam paper. Once I get into Tsinghua or Peking University and become a great person, I'm going to focus on one thing: printing my picture on banknotes..."

Tian Xiwei was too lazy to listen to Yang Chaoyue's nonsense: "Ugh, stop dawdling, Chaoyue, hurry up!"

"Why are you being so fierce, Xiwei?"

"Hurry up and check your scores. I'm already sleepy, and I'm going to take a nap later. If you keep dawdling, I'm going to beat up Jiang Yang! I'll count to three! Two..."

"Good good."

Yang Chaoyue moved the mouse.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous; I just didn't want to show it.

When I opened the browser, the default homepage that came with the hotel computer popped up on the screen.

Enter the official website address of the JS Provincial Education Examination Authority.

You can find the scores for both the regular college entrance examination and the adult college entrance examination here.

The official website homepage that pops up has a typical government website style.

The top features large red characters that read "Jiangsu Provincial Education Examination Authority".

Below are sections for recruitment updates, inquiry center, and government information disclosure.

Liu Haochun immediately spotted the red notice board floating on the left, which read "Entrance to Inquiry of 2016 Adult Higher Education Entrance Examination Results," with the font larger than the surrounding text: "Chaoyue, this place."

The words fell.

It's quiet now.

Bai Lu no longer holds her phone, looking at the gossip trending on social media.

Tian Xiwei stared intently at the computer screen.

Jiang Yang stood behind Yang Chaoyue and watched without saying much.

He knew exactly what score Chaoyue could achieve, since he was the one who taught him.

Try to get into Tsinghua University?
Try to get into Peking University?
When Yang Chaoyue said those words, he almost couldn't help but cover Yang Chaoyue's mouth.

No other requirements.

I just hope that Chaoyue won't go around saying that he was taught by him.

Yang Chaoyue clicked the link, and the page instantly redirected to the score inquiry interface.

In the very center is a light gray search box.

Enter your admission ticket number and ID number, then click "Search". (End of Chapter)
