Chapter 619
Jiang Yang used to be non-mainstream, not a "Shamate" .
[“Gossip alert! Xiwei, are the on-screen couple really together? I've read online that it sounds so real. Also, does the director ever sexually harass actresses?”]
[“Big star, give me your autograph. When you become famous all over the internet, I’ll post it on my WeChat Moments to brag about it, hahaha.”]
[“Tell me quickly, is filming really that interesting? Do you get to see stars like Lu Han and Huang Lei every day?”]
……
Tian Xi looked at the screen, and a bunch of familiar names flooded in.
Most of the people tagging her were people she hadn't spoken to much during her three years of high school.
She used to be an inconspicuous nobody in class.
I spend a lot of time in the dance studio.
Average grades, quiet personality.
I sat in the middle of the classroom, towards the back.
He was neither a top student in the eyes of the teachers nor an active person who loved excitement.
Like a shadow in the corner, silently following the rhythm of the class.
But now, just by saying that she was going too, she has become the focus of the group.
Deep down, she knew that no one was really interested in her, Tian Xiwei.
Because of the same situation, Yang Chaoyue's hometown also experienced something similar after he became famous.
Unexpectedly, the same thing happened to her.
Tian Xiwei still remembers what Yang Chaoyue said back then: "Actually, my classmates from my hometown didn't really want to know if I was doing well in filming. They were mainly curious about my identity as an actor and the entertainment industry. They wanted to get some new and interesting things from me that they had never heard before."
Tian Xiwei typed: ["I'm not some big star. It's just that Jiang Yang brought me along, and it was all luck."]
These words were spoken.
The conversation in the group chat became even more intense.
The conversation immediately turned to Jiang Yang.
"Jiang Yang is amazing! I knew he was extraordinary a long time ago!"
"Jiang Yang always sat in the last row in high school, do you guys remember? I've been to Jiang Yang's class, and everyone who sat in the last row was a genius."
"Have you seen today's trending topic? Someone got the top score in both the college entrance exam and the university entrance exam, and then chose Beijing Film Academy over Tsinghua and Peking University. That's really amazing."
"Actually, what I envy most is Jiang Yang's connections! The official Weibo account of Beijing Film Academy personally announced it, Lu Han and Huang Lei both reposted it in support, and even Yang Mi liked it. It's difficult for ordinary people like us to get into a prestigious school, but he directly entered Beijing Film Academy with a celebrity aura. Won't he have a smooth career in the entertainment industry from now on?"
"I saw in the comments that Jiang Yang can also write songs, and the song he wrote for Lu Han, 'Rose Boy,' is really good."
Do you think Jiang Yang will go back to school this time?
Sitting in the middle of the classroom, the girl with the big breasts sent a message: "If I can meet him, I definitely want to take a good picture with him. His future path is so different from ours, and we might never see him again... Hey, does anyone have Jiang Yang's QQ? His photos online are so handsome, but I clearly remember that he had a 'punk' style in his first and second years of high school, with long bangs and dyed his hair yellow once. He looks completely different now!"
Upon seeing this message, Tian Xi smiled.
She paid special attention to Jiang Yang's QQ account and never deleted the chat history.
However, it's impossible for them to hand it over.
Tian Xiwei opened the input box and typed a line: ["Jiang Yang used to be non-mainstream, not a 'Shamate' (a subculture characterized by flamboyant and often outlandish fashion)..."]
Non-mainstream is a kind of youthful exuberance.
That's just too much of a "Shamate" style.
She remembered that Jiang Yang only had long hair back then, and would occasionally dye a few strands. He was at most a rebellious teenager, not a "punk" type.
Just about to send it out.
Then it suddenly stopped.
If you feel something is wrong, it might spark some new discussion.
The classmates might ask Jiang Yang about the details of her non-mainstream period, or even ask her to send photos and chat logs, which would make it even more troublesome to explain.
Privately, in the [Beautiful Girls Battle 4] group, they didn't care how much they teased Jiang Yang.
After all, they're all family, we know each other well, and we're all in the same circle. We know what to say and what not to say, and we know how to be tactful.
But unlike his high school classmates.
Their current attention to Jiang Yang is tinged with both curiosity and a sense of distance. Their seemingly casual questions conceal a desire to pry into his life.
If she really said something, it might be embellished and spread online one day, which would be bad for Jiang Yang and also bad for herself.
I was just thinking about it.
Some people in the group have already joined in the commotion.
"Yeah, yeah! I remember too! Jiang Yang's hairstyle was so cool back then, and he always liked to sleep on his desk in class, but the teachers didn't really say anything to him."
"Does anyone have photos of Jiang Yang from his non-mainstream days? Please share! I want to see the embarrassing history of this academic genius, hahaha."
"@Tian Xiwei, Xiwei, aren't you close to Jiang Yang? You must have something, right? Post some pictures!"
"@Tianxiwei, please provide one more photo!"
A series of @ notification sounds popped up.
Tian Xi looked at the screen and silently deleted the line she had just typed, pretending not to have seen the messages.
The chat is still going on in the group.
Some people said they remember passing by Jiang Yang's class before and seeing him always writing things in class. They thought he was doing practice problems, but now they think he was probably writing songs.
Some people say that Jiang Yang was quiet and aloof in high school, but they didn't expect that he and Lu Han were best friends in private.
Some people are even inquiring about Jiang Yang's family background, speculating whether he has some powerful connections.
Tian Xiwei silently scrolled through the messages and suddenly realized that she and her high school classmates, with whom she had spent three years together, had become estranged at some point.
I used to tell my deskmate anything that was on my mind.
When they see funny jokes or interesting novels, they will share them in the class group chat without keeping them to themselves.
At that time, they shared a common goal.
Practice dancing, pass the art exam, and take the college entrance exam.
We did practice problems together every day, complained about our teachers together, and looked forward to holidays together. Our thoughts were very simple, and we were completely unguarded with each other.
But things are different now.
Following Jiang Yang into the entertainment industry, she saw things she had never seen before and experienced things she had never experienced before.
I know that some things shouldn't be said casually, and some people shouldn't be trusted casually.
There are too many rumors and gossip in the entertainment industry, and even the smallest things can be blown out of proportion.
You must learn to protect yourself, and you must also protect the people around you.
Especially Jiangyang.
Meanwhile, her classmates were still living ordinary lives, about to enter university and live lives completely different from hers.
People are curious about everything in the entertainment industry.
To put it bluntly, it's like there's an invisible wall between me and my classmates.
Differences in identity, different experiences, and changes in mindset.
I don't know when it started, but I no longer talk about everything with my classmates, and instead I talk to Chaoyue, Haochun, and MaiMai.
They learned to conceal and guard against things.
The main problem is that there are some things that I don't want to talk about with my classmates, but I can't, and I don't know how to say them.
Tian Xiwei sent another message: ["Jiang Yang has also returned to Tongliang."]
A student immediately replied:
"Jiang Yang is home too? I thought he was at the Beijing Film Academy!"
"It would be great if Jiang Yang were in our class." (End of Chapter)
