Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Zhao Lushi looked up.

The guests are still going through the program schedule, and the staff are setting up the equipment.

No one paid attention to her and Jiang Yang.

Even Yang Chaoyue was listening very attentively.

Zhao Lushi then said in a low voice, "He said I'm okay as an internet celebrity, but my looks are too ordinary compared to stars, which makes me very unhappy. I really hate people who talk behind my back like this."

Jiang Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly I understand why Zhao Lushi is so good at insulting people.

Because if someone crickets behind her and gets even a little close, Zhao Lushi can hear it immediately, and who wouldn't get angry?

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lushi was heard muttering, "He's the CEO of Galaxy Cool Entertainment. He has no manners at all. Luckily, I didn't sign with his company. Trash Galaxy Cool Entertainment!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Jiang Yang knew what was going on, so he didn't talk to Zhao Lushi for long.

The rehearsals were filmed, but they weren't broadcast; they were kept as behind-the-scenes footage, so we could act more casually.

From the perspective of the show's creators, Wang Han and Li Wei's actions are indeed understandable.

That's how making a TV show is.

Everything is for the sake of ratings.

They will more or less use tricks with the guests.

But this is also an opportunity for Chaoyue.

One thing is certain: Chaoyue will definitely have a chance to speak during tomorrow's official recording.

But we still need to see what Chaoyue's ideas are.

So back in his hotel room, Jiang Yang messaged Yang Chaoyue: [“Chaoyue, Ruth told you during rehearsal that the production team is planning to target you tomorrow.”]
Yang Chaoyue replied: [“Ruth said it herself, Yang-ge, Mom’s ears are practically as sharp as a paparazzi’s eyes. Her hearing is only really good when we’re cricketing her. So, when we’re cricketing Ruth behind her back, we have to be careful. We have to make sure Ruth is really far away from us, otherwise we’ll both get sprayed, hahaha.”]
At a time like this, Chaoyue still has the mind to argue with him.

Jiang Yang was worried for Yang Chaoyue:
[“Is this what we’re talking about? I’m asking about the production team’s arrangements; are you willing to participate?”]
[“Yang-ge, I know you. You didn’t say much on the way back, probably because the production team bullied me. But actually, I don’t care. I don’t want you to be in a difficult position because of me.”]
Followed by.

These were Yang Chaoyue's voice replies:

"Brother Yang, I'm willing."
"They want to use me to embarrass myself and gain attention, I know that very well, but it's not a bad thing for me."
"Think about it, even if it's because I make a fool of myself or lose face, it still brings me exposure."
[“When I knelt down and kowtowed during the filming of ‘Go Fighting!’, so many people laughed at me, saying I was silly and had no bottom line. But in the end, didn’t I make a lot of people remember me? They even praised me for being uninhibited and dedicated.”]
"So what if it's embarrassing? In the entertainment industry, being remembered for something embarrassing is better than being unknown at all."
"Besides, I really don't want to put you in a difficult position. You've already done enough by bringing nine of us guests to record the show. I can't let you and the production team fall out because of me."
[“Brother Yang, I really don’t care. As long as I have a chance to speak and the audience can see me, this little grievance is nothing.”]
Read all.

Jiang Yang stared at the screen, feeling as if something was blocking his chest.

It was both warm and sour.

This Yang Chaozhong is a bit silly.

She seemed indifferent, but she was actually very aggrieved inside.

She would rather suffer herself than add to his burden.

In the past, he might have respected Chaoyue's decision.

But now.

No.

Chao Yue was willing to use all her savings to fund his film and television productions, even though she knew that her money was insignificant to him.

He couldn't bear to see Chaoyue go down the path of becoming famous by selling his ugliness. He knew that this didn't suit Chaoyue's personality.

Overtaking can be very uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath, tightened his fingertips, and replied, word by word: "[Chaoyue, you're willing, but I'm not.]"
"That episode on 'Go Fighting!' was acting, it was scripted, it was fake, and the audience knew it was for the sake of the show."
[“But this time is different. This is a talk show. They deliberately want you to embarrass yourself on camera, to make you speechless during impromptu performances, and then to publicly announce your poor college entrance exam score, leading netizens to say you're a bad student and have low intelligence.”]
[“You clearly worked hard for a whole year, studying on your own to prepare for the exam. I saw how difficult it was. Regular students study systematically in school for three years, while you fumble around in the dark for a year. So what if you didn't get into a vocational college? It doesn't prove anything!”]
[“But the show's producers are deliberately amplifying this point, making the audience genuinely believe you have intellectual disabilities. This will not only damage your public image, but also make you less attractive to the public in the future, especially when it comes to endorsements and business opportunities. People might even view you with a “mentally challenged” label.”]
"Becoming famous by making a fool of yourself is quick, but that reputation is tarnished and can't be erased."
"Your parents know how hard you worked for the college entrance exam. How heartbroken they would be if they saw you being laughed at on TV or netizens saying you were useless?"
"How can you feel good when they're suffering?"
[“Chaoyue, I, Jiang Yang, am not a good boss. I'm greedy, lustful, and stingy. I'm just an ordinary person with no grand vision.”]
"But one thing is true: I can't stand seeing the artists I sign suffer mistreatment outside."
"We won't compromise on this, and you don't need to stubbornly insist on it."
[“Let’s work together tonight to come up with a new proposal, one that suits you, showcases your hard work and authenticity, and also interests the audience, okay?”]
"We don't need to embarrass ourselves to grab attention; we need to earn the audience's recognition through our own abilities. That's the only way to last."
"You trust me, and you trust yourself, okay?"
I sent more than a dozen messages, but didn't receive a reply from Yang Chaoyue.

Jiang Yang felt somewhat uncertain.

He sent another message: ["What are you doing? Are you even watching?"]
Yang Chaoyue replied: [“I was grabbing red envelopes in the group chat. Yezi sent all the money she earned from delivering food today to the group. Your lackey Chun is the luckiest person again. I’m so angry.”]
Yang Chaoyue sent his reply from his bed in his hotel room.

There was a bag of potato chips on the bedside table.

There was also an unopened bag of spicy strips.

After sending his reply to Jiang Yang, he slowly scrolled up to carefully read the dozen or so long messages Jiang Yang had sent.

At first, she was a little nonchalant.

But as he watched, his expression became focused.

She clutched the bag of potato chips in her hand, crumpling it up, and forgot to open the bag of spicy strips.

When she saw the words "You are willing, but I am not," her nose inexplicably stung with tears.

Upon seeing the words, "Ordinary students study for three years, while you learn by trial and error in one year," she blinked, suppressing the surging emotions in her eyes.

When she read the line "I can't stand seeing the artists I signed suffer injustices outside," her throat bobbed, and her finger remained hovering over the screen for a long time.

I watched it several times, each time...

The warmth in my heart deepened a little more.

Yang would care whether she was truly willing, would consider her parents' feelings, and would be afraid that she would be labeled negatively.

Yang remembers all her sacrifices.

She even remembered some details that she herself had almost forgotten.

The more she looked, the emptier she felt inside, and she especially wished Jiang Yang were by her side.

She jumped out of bed, and without even putting on her shoes, ran barefoot to the door.

He grabbed the room key, put it in his pocket, and strode towards Jiang Yang's room.

It's the most direct form of longing.

It was also a reckless pace.

The carpet in the corridor was soft and made no sound when she stepped on it, but her heart was beating faster and faster, and her cheeks were flushed with emotion.

When she reached Jiang Yang's door, she took a deep breath, raised her hand, and gently knocked on the door, her voice slightly tense: "Brother Yang?"

The door opened quickly.

Jiang Yang's hair was a little messy: "Chaoyue?"

His gaze first fell on Yang Chaoyue's bare feet, then he looked up and saw her slightly reddened eyes and tight lips. He paused for a moment, then quickly stepped aside to let her in: "Why did you run over without shoes?"

"I just missed you." (End of Chapter)
