During the two years, Jiang Jiang did nothing but study. During the day, she would study the knowledge in the textbooks on her own, and at night, she would follow the system teachers to expand her extracurricular knowledge. Every day was busy and fulfilling.
Two years is enough time for us to make earth-shaking changes.
Meng Hao was admitted to Anning No. 1 Middle School with the best grades in Lin'an City. He is now in his second year of high school and is very busy with his studies. He only has the chance to get together with Jiang Jiang during the holidays.
Ou Ni went abroad in her second year of high school and studied in a very good art school, and her painting skills continued to improve.
As for Sister Sudan, it has been two years since her debut. Her group Sunnygirl has become very popular in the past two years. However, the price of fame is busy work. Jiang Jiang last met Sudan a year ago.
Thinking of the Sudan, Jiang Jiang's smile faded a little.
After Jiang's father called a circle of relatives and friends, he felt a little relieved.
Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Father Jiang said with a smile on his face: "The best thing I, Jiang Jianlai, have done in my life is giving birth to you!"
After that, he looked at the two twins and said, "If you two were half as smart, hardworking and self-aware as your sister, no, one-tenth as smart, hardworking and self-aware, then I would be truly successful in my life."
The twins huddled in the corner of the sofa without saying a word. They were used to comparing themselves with their superior older sister, but they always found themselves inferior.
Father Jiang continued, "I'm going to college soon, so I need to buy new computers and cell phones. Let's buy them together in a few days! I'm sure I'll need other things to go to college, so I need to prepare all of these in advance!"
Speaking of college, Jiang's father remembered that he had not yet asked Jiang Jiang which school he planned to apply to.
Jiang Jiang walked over from the door and sat on the sofa: "I want to apply to Tokyo University, and I have decided on a major. I want to major in economics."
Father Jiang didn't know what economics was, but he knew that Jiang Jiang had always been reliable. Since she had made up her mind, as a parent, all he should do was support her.
"Then apply to the University of Tokyo! Apply for the economics major! You're the top student in the province, so you can apply for whatever you want!"
Speaking of the number one scholar, Father Jiang couldn't help grinning again.
Jiang's mother also walked to the sofa and sat down. She had just called her relatives on her mother's side to inform them of the news that Jiang Jiang had won the top spot in the college entrance examination.
When she heard what Jiang's father said, she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Tokyo University is the best school in the country. I never dreamed that my children could go to Tokyo University! When the eldest child starts school, our whole family will go to see what the best school in the country is like!"
Father Jiang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"
The twins huddled in the corner also had aspirations, but their grades were average, and it was unlikely that they would be admitted to the University of Tokyo in this lifetime.
Jiang Jiang listened to his father and mother talking about their future plans, and said with a smile on his face, "I'm going to Hailai City in a few days. My classmates found me a job there, and I plan to exercise outside during the summer vacation."
Jiang's mother's smile faded a little: "You don't need to work at home. You've finally finished the college entrance examination. You can just rest at home or go traveling with your classmates. Your family won't be short of living expenses."
No one would believe it if I told you this, but the biggest problem for Jiang's mother in educating her child is that he is too self-conscious. Jiang Jiang is really too self-conscious, so self-conscious that even she feels tired just watching him.
When other children come home from holidays, they all rest and play, but Jiang Jiang holds a book all day long, reading from day to night without taking a rest.
So when Jiang Jiang said he wanted to go out to work, she was the first to disagree.
Jiang's father held the opposite view from Jiang's mother: "The eldest daughter wants to do it, and we as parents should support her. Didn't we disagree at first when she didn't want to participate in the competition? Look, now the eldest daughter has passed the exam and won the first place. She has more ideas in her mind than us."
After that, Jiang's father looked at Jiang Jiang and encouraged him, "Whatever you want to do, Dad will support you. Not only mentally, but also financially!"
Jiang Jiang looked at Jiang's father laughing happily and couldn't help but pursing his lips and laughing along with him.
In the past two years, the person who has changed the most is Jiang's father. After Jiang Jiang came back from the math competition, Jiang's father's attitude towards Jiang Jiang completely changed. He is like a real loving father, supporting Jiang Jiang's every move and being proud of Jiang Jiang.
Jiang's mother sighed when she saw Jiang's father saying the same thing. As Jiang's parents, they were actually failures because they didn't know much and couldn't give Jiang any good advice. They could only support Jiang as Jiang's father said.
"Okay, if you want to work, go ahead. But I have one requirement. You must ensure that you are safe. Making money is not the point. The point is to live a good life. Do you understand?"
Jiang Jiang nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mom, I promise to go out safely and come back safely!"
Only after hearing Jiang Jiang's assurance did Jiang's mother feel relieved.
After the results came out, Jiang Jiang filled in the support and took a bus directly to Hailai City.
Song Chuci, who came to pick up Jiang Jiang, is Jiang Jiang’s senior.
Song Chuci and Gao Jiangjiang were in the same class. The two met during a night run.
There were not many people living on campus at Yude, and even fewer who insisted on exercising. So at night, there were always only Jiang Jiang and Song Chuci on the playground. The two met at that time.
Song Chuci's family owns an entertainment company, and almost all of his relatives are involved in that circle.
After graduating from high school, Song Chuci went to college while helping out in his family's company.
Song Chuci was quite surprised to hear Jiang Jiang said that she wanted to come to the circle to broaden her horizons. After all, in his impression, Jiang Jiang was a fairy who was not down to earth, a little genius.
And such a young genius now actually has the idea of joining the entertainment industry.
After meeting Jiang Jiang, Song Chuci first looked her up and down and asked, "You are almost 1.7 meters tall, right?"
Jiang Jiang nodded: "1.695 meters."
"I see more than that. She has grown taller and prettier. She used to be a little girl running behind me, but now she has grown into a graceful young lady. Time flies so fast." Song Chuci sighed in a mature manner.
Jiang Jiang almost couldn't hold back and slapped him.
"Who is running behind whom?"
After the two got to know each other during night jogging, they often made plans to run together. Jiang Jiang's physical strength was as good as that of boys, and when the two ran together, Jiang Jiang might not be able to outrun Song Chuci, and sometimes Song Chuci would be left far behind by her.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I won't brag anymore. Come on, I'll show you around the house first, and then I'll take you to the audition in two days."
Song Chuci pulled Jiang Jiang's suitcase and walked in front, chatting with Jiang Jiang as he walked.
The college entrance examination scores have come out, and Song Chuci also knows Jiang Jiang's results. At this moment, he is lamenting that she got the top score.
"Comparison is frustrating, but I'm really curious, why do you, a top scholar, want to make a movie?"
This was not the first time Song Chuci had asked this question, but he had never received an answer.
"I suddenly developed a yearning for the entertainment industry and filming."
Hearing this answer, he knew it was nonsense, so Song Chuci stopped asking questions and simply talked to her about business.
"That play will be auditioning the day after tomorrow. I'll take you there directly then, but whether you can be hired or not depends on you."
Despite saying so, Song Chuci did not think Jiang Jiang could be admitted.
This movie is made by a famous director, and I heard the script is also very good. If nothing goes wrong, it will definitely be a big hit.
Jiang Jiang was a high school student who had just finished the college entrance examination. He had never studied acting and had no idea how to act. He was probably going to be eliminated.
If she didn't have a good relationship with Jiang Jiang and Song Chuci didn't trust Jiang Jiang, he really wouldn't be willing to put her in the audition quota.
His family laughed at him for several days because of this. If his family didn't know something about Jiang Jiang, they would have thought that Jiang Jiang was a wild sparrow who wanted to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix.
After bringing Jiang Jiang to the rental house and showing her around, Song Chuci left. There were still a lot of things waiting for him at the company, so he took a few hours off.
After Song Chuci left, Jiang Jiang took his luggage and went to the bedroom to pack.
Entering the entertainment industry was not an impulsive idea. In fact, she had made this decision two years ago and had been preparing for this decision for two years.
Song Chuci thought she had no foundation at all, but in fact, Song Chuci probably couldn't compare to Jiang Jiang in terms of what she knew about the entertainment industry and acting.
After packing up, it was almost dark. Jiang Jiang made himself a simple dinner with the vegetables he had just bought.
Although it is just a simple bowl of noodles, it is colorful, fragrant and delicious.
In the area of cooking, Jiang Jiang had already received an excellent grade.
After finishing his meal and taking a shower, Jiang Jiang sat down at the desk and continued reading.
She is currently reading a book based on the movie she is about to audition for.
From the marks on it, we can tell that she has read this book more than once.
After the college entrance examination, Jiang Jiang had already studied this book, and now he is just reviewing it.
Jiang Jiang would read as she watched, and when she came across a scene that she found interesting, she would act it out in front of a mirror on the table.
If Song Chuci was present at this time, he would definitely be amazed, because Jiang Jiang's performance was very natural, but at the same time, Jiang Jiang would express every thought of the character through actions or expressions.
To use a phrase that directors often say nowadays, Jiang Jiang brought this character to life.
But in fact, Jiang Jiang not only has an understanding of the same role, but she can perform a segment for almost every role and every scene.
She had already read this book thoroughly and understood the characters in it.
Two days passed in a flash, and Song Chuci came to Jiang Jiang again. Today he was going to take Jiang Jiang to the director for an audition.
When Song Chuci saw Jiang Jiang's outfit, his eyes lit up.
To be honest, Jiang Jiang's dressing style has always been online, but usually, Jiang Jiang's dressing style is relatively simple, just like her, she is well-behaved.
But today, she wore ripped jeans, a pair of Martin boots, a large printed T-shirt, and a high ponytail behind her head.
Looks a bit "bad".
"What is this outfit? Are you preparing for a role?"
Jiang Jiang smiled roguely and threw the bag behind him, "Yeah." Even the tone of his voice was different from usual.
"Okay, it seems I underestimated you, you really have something."
Jiang Jiang rubbed his knuckles against his nose: "Let's go."
“Go, go, go!”
After getting in the car, Song Chuci introduced to Jiang Jiang who would come for the audition today.
In the entertainment industry, almost all actresses of similar age and with some acting skills have come, so you can imagine how fierce the competition is.
"So let's just keep calm and don't panic. This audition is nothing, I can still help you arrange something else later. If you look like this, I think you should play a genius girl in an idol drama, and there will definitely be a lot of people who like you."
Jiang Jiang ignored him, chewing gum absentmindedly, his eyes wandering around.
Song Chuci found her look quite novel. He could see that Jiang Jiang was integrating into the role, but he couldn't tell how good Jiang Jiang's acting was for the time being.
When the two arrived at the audition location, there were already quite a few people outside.
As soon as Jiang Jiang and his companion arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Who is this? Is he here for the audition today as well?"
"Isn't this guy's looks too good? His temperament is also perfect. I haven't heard of any company signing new people recently."
"Is that the young master from Song Entertainment? He brought someone here specially. Is this person from the Song family?"
"She doesn't look big, and her face is still full of collagen. It's over. I feel like I've lost before the audition even started."
…
The actors who came for the audition naturally became wary when they saw Jiang Jiang. A beautiful, young newcomer was a threat to them.
The agents who came with the actors were thinking more. They were wondering whether Jiang Jiang had signed a contract. If not, it would be great if they could sign him.
As soon as Song Chuci brought Jiang Jiang in, he saw a lot of familiar faces. Today's audition was for the main roles, and the actors who came were all big names. The agents behind them were naturally well-known in the circle.
"You wait here for a moment, I'll go over and chat with people." Although Song Chuci has only been in the circle for a short time, he already has his own network of contacts in the circle.
Jiang Jiang nodded and found a place to sit down. He spread his legs, put one hand on them, supported his chin, and looked at the ground in boredom.
At this time, Song Chuci also walked to the gathering place of agents. When he met young idols he was familiar with, he would greet them in a familiar way, calling them "sister" all the time, which made people very happy.
"Brother Chuci, who is the new person your family has signed?" a chubby man asked, putting his arm around Song Chuci's shoulders.
The man's name is Wang Gang. He has a good relationship with Song Chuci and they often share resources, so they can be so intimate at this moment.
"Yes, brother, a newcomer in our company."
Wang Gang patted Song Chuci on the back and said, "You are kidding me. Your company hasn't signed any new people recently. Don't think I don't know!"
Song Chuci smiled helplessly: "It's over, brother, you even know whether our company has signed or not? You have planted an undercover in our company, right?"
After deliberately performing, Song Chuci said seriously: "The contract has not been finalized yet, but you are already considered a member of the company."
Wang Gang gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! Where did you find such an excellent newcomer? She has a good figure and looks. Even if she can't do anything, she is still a beautiful cash cow!"
Song Chuci grabbed Wang Gang's finger and whispered in his ear: "My classmate wants to play in the entertainment industry, so I brought him here."
Song Chuci's classmate also came to the entertainment industry to play around. Looking at Jiang Jiang's temperament, Wang Gang probably understood.
I guess this newcomer is also a rich second-generation who is just taking advantage of the summer vacation to hang out in the entertainment industry.
Wang Gang turned to look at Jiang Jiang, then turned back to whisper in Song Chuci's ear, "It's a pity that your classmate doesn't want to join the entertainment industry. You have to persuade him."
Song Chuci shook his head: "I don't mind that."
Wang Gang understood that they were not short of money, and they were even more not short of making a living in the entertainment industry.
Someone was chatting up Song Chuci over there, and someone was chatting up Jiang Jiang over here.
The person who came was a man, dressed fashionably and looked handsome. As soon as he sat down by the Jiang River, he immediately smiled, which he thought was handsome.
"Little sister, which company are you from? Are you here for an audition as well?"
Although the man looked a bit slick, Jiang Jiang still sat up straight and replied politely: "Hello, I'm from Song Entertainment, and I'm here for an audition."
After that, she called out sweetly, "Brother, which company are you from?"
The man was overjoyed when Jiang Jiang called him, but then he became confused: "Don't you know me?"
Jiang Jiang apologized, "I just finished the college entrance examination, and I didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry before."
The man was surprised: "You just finished the college entrance examination? You are only 18 years old?"
Seeing Jiang Jiang nod, he continued to ask: "How did you do in the college entrance examination?"
He regretted it after asking. If one wants to join a circle right after taking the college entrance examination, his results must not be very good.
“Not bad.”
The man didn't believe it. He didn't want to continue the topic, fearing that if he really asked the girl about her college entrance examination scores, it would embarrass her.
"I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Li Zhi and I'm an actor."
Li Zhi originally wanted to tell Jiang Jiang about his representative works, but seeing that Jiang Jiang didn't even recognize him, he probably had never watched those TV series or movies.
Although Li Zhiyi appeared to be a bit greasy when he first appeared, after actually talking to him, Jiang Jiang could feel that he was a nice person.
Without Jiang Jiang asking any more questions, he very consciously gave Jiang Jiang some "knowledge" in the industry. Especially when he knew that Jiang Jiang was going to audition for the female lead, Li Zhi also introduced her to some people who were going to compete with her.
"The one in blue is called Lan Ruo. She's a rising star. She's acted in a youth film before. It was an art film. Her acting skills are good. She's a formidable rival of yours."
"And the curly hair, she's not threatening, her acting isn't great, she's just trying her luck."
"See the one in white in the corner? Even though she's sitting here waiting like everyone else, she's won the Best Actress award before, so even I have to respectfully call her senior. She's just used to arriving early, otherwise people of her status are usually the last to arrive. I've been in the same crew with her before, so I know her habit."
…
"Of course, your biggest competition is definitely not everyone here. The biggest names definitely haven't arrived yet, or some of them are auditioning privately or something."
Jiang Jiang listened to his gossip and nodded happily.
Li Zhi saw that Jiang Jiang didn't have a strong sense of competition, so he sighed and said, "You are just here for the sake of going through the motions. How about I introduce you to some resources? Idol dramas or something like that. With your looks, you can definitely get in. And idol dramas don't require any acting skills. You just stand there and follow the script."
It can be seen that Li Zhi really admires Jiang Jiang and has already started introducing resources to her.
Jiang Jiang thanked him and then declined: "I still want to try this first. If it doesn't work, I'll look for my brother."
Hearing this, Li Zhi felt relieved again: "Okay, I'll call you brother. If you have any problems in the future, come to me and I'll protect you!"
The two exchanged contact information and continued to sit together and chat.
Song Chuci happened to turn around and saw Jiang Jiang and Li Zhi chatting enthusiastically, and the alarm bells in his heart immediately rang.
Who is Li Zhi? He is well-known in the circle for his love of picking up young ladies. It is said that he has a phone with thousands of girls' contact information stored in it.
Li Zhi has a sweet mouth and always makes the young lady happy. Jiang Jiang has just entered the society. What if he is deceived by Li Zhi's mouth!
Thinking of this, Song Chuci hurriedly ran towards Jiang Jiang.
Song Chuci was making quite a lot of noise, causing Li Zhi to look up, "Hey, Chuci, long time no see."
Song Chuci also smiled appropriately: "Brother Xiaozhi."
Li Zhi pulled him to sit down: "Jiang Jiang hasn't signed the contract yet? If she signs a contract with you later, the contract she is given should be at least B, right? It can't be any lower. She is still your junior schoolmate, you can't cheat her as a senior!"
Song Chuci was a little confused. Why did Li Zhi act like he was going to protect Jiang Jiang at such a short time?
Jiang Jiang was watching with great joy.
The three of them started discussing the contract, but it was mostly Li Zhi arguing with Song Chuci, while Jiang Jiang just listened on the side.
While the three of them were chatting, more and more people gathered outside.
When two big names came over from behind, everyone stood up and greeted them.
While listening to everyone's conversation, Jiang Jiang wrote down the names and related information of everyone present.
She has already decided to join the entertainment industry, where she will have a lot of social interactions to do. If she has the opportunity to meet everyone somewhere in the future, she will not be without people to know.
Before, Jiang Jiang only focused on honing his acting skills and other skills needed to work in the entertainment industry, and forgot about this aspect.
However, Jiang Jiang has already planned to catch up on some information about people in the entertainment industry in the evening.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the staff came out and gave everyone the content of the interview. Each role that everyone wanted to audition for had three related plots, and the actors only had to interpret according to their own understanding.
At that time, the director will keep the actors he thinks are suitable.
In addition, there is a number card. According to the interview order arranged according to the previous registration situation, Jiang Jiang's number is 37, and she will be the 37th auditioner.
After receiving the audition plot, everyone immediately took action, finding a place to memorize the lines and try out the scenes.
When Jiang Jiang saw the contents on the note, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She had sorted out two of the notes herself last night.
But she didn't act rashly and started to interpret in the corner with the note in her hand.
When the time is up, the staff starts calling out numbers, and those at the front are naturally the more famous ones.
When the top ten candidates had finished their audition, two hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside.
——Host, she is here.
