The four of them sat together, ate and drank, and talked about common things.

Jiang Ran deliberately wanted to let Grandma Jiang know more about her situation so that she would not worry at home. She specifically told many interesting things that happened during her training or MV or endorsement shoots to make Grandma Jiang happy. Dongdong also added beside her, listening. The two elders were all smiles, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was great.

Seeing Jiang Ran put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites and kept talking to them, Grandma Jiang frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you eat? Eat more."

"I'm full." Jiang Ran paused and replied directly against her will. In fact, she was afraid that she would gain weight on her stomach if she ate too much.

It's one thing to have a physique that makes it impossible to gain weight, but the problem is that although her weight is up to standard, her figure and body shape do not meet the standards of an idol. Her small waist is exposed. It’s a round, fleshy belly! Because of this matter, Julie has been talking to her for almost a month, and she has given up her words. If she can't get her waistline in two months or so, she can only find a fitness instructor to keep an eye on her.

So she had to sleep better in the near future. After all, there was another person to supervise her, and he would not be as easy to talk to as Dongdong. So when I ate today, my stomach was a little rested and I didn't feel hungry, so I stopped using my chopsticks. .

Grandma Jiang obviously didn't believe what Jiang Ran said. When the little girl came back half a year ago, she could eat two bowls of white rice by herself. Now, she only moved a few chopsticks and drank two small bowls of soup before saying she was full. It wasn't even enough to fill her belly.

"Grandma, I'm really full. Eat small meals often and you won't be hungry." Jiang Ran explained aloud again.

"Xiaoran, are you afraid of gaining weight if you don't want to eat more? My dear, let's eat less. After you eat, you can go out for a walk to eliminate food. You won't gain weight." After finishing speaking, Grandma Jiang felt something was wrong again, and shook her head repeatedly to deny what she had just said, "No, no, no, you are a star now. You can't just go out and walk around. It's not good to be photographed."

Faced with Grandma Jiang's concern, Jiang Ran had no choice but to eat with her for a while longer, and then chatted about home affairs. After everyone had finished eating, she got off the table, helped put away the bowls and plates in the kitchen, and settled on the sofa. Watching TV, I watched the replay of the Lime Channel New Year’s Eve party last night.

The feeling of watching on the TV screen is completely different from watching it live. When watching TV, one only pays attention to the result of their performance, while when watching the performance live, they focus more on the process and downplay the result.

Putting herself in the position of an ordinary audience, Jiang Ran finally understood why fans only looked at their performance on the stage to judge her success or failure, but never paid attention to how hard they worked and how hard they worked behind the stage, because They can't see it, but even if they do, so what? !

It's like you have been studying hard for more than ten years. During these ten years, you have been studying day and night, giving up socializing, giving up games, giving up freedom, treating yourself as a robot, focusing on studying, studying, and studying again, but As long as you don't get a good grade in the college entrance examination, no matter whether you have one or another legitimate reason for your abnormal performance, in the eyes of everyone, you are a loser, a loser, even better than those who have not worked hard. More failure.

Looking at the TV screen, Jiang Ran's thoughts began to drift away unconsciously...

Dongdong, who helped wash the dishes and chopsticks, came out of the kitchen, took out his phone and scrolled for a while, then approached Jiang Ran and called, "Sister Ran, you haven't posted today's holiday Weibo yet!"

Jiang Ran retracted her thoughts when she heard the voice. Her mind was still a little unable to turn around. She went through what Dongdong said several times in her mind. She thought about it again and again along with Dongdong's words, and then realized that she had indeed not sent out the New Year's Day message today. business Weibo, if Dongdong hadn't reminded her now, she might have forgotten about it.

I took out my phone and took a look at how other teammates’ business Weibo posts were written, and then took a peek at the Weibo content of other artists. I returned to my own Weibo editing page, thought about it again and again, and finally only posted a short message. A piece of Weibo content reads "Happy New Year's Day, mijiu mijiu!", and the accompanying picture is a photo of a meal taken before lunch. After interacting with friends who follow Weibo to comment, like, and interact with each other, Finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Jiang Ran relaxed after finishing her "work", and the sun shone warmly through the window and enveloped her body, after eating and drinking enough, she began to feel sleepy, and she couldn't help but open her mouth and yawned, " Aha..."

Raising her hand to wipe away the physiological tears that overflowed from the corner of her eyes, Jiang Ran lay down on the sofa. She was afraid that the small blanket next to her would be brought over to put on her body. She lazily said to the others, "I'll take a nap for a while. Call me again when you're eating." ."

After a short stay at Grandma Jiang's house for a day, Jiang Ran and Dongdong flew back to the capital together and continued busy with the next thing.

In the new year, Starlight Girls is also full of announcements.

Group activities include endorsement shoots, business events, fashion magazine shoots, variety show recordings, singing on major party stages, etc., and I also did two OSTs for TV series.

Jiang Ran also has a lot of personal schedules. She has accepted three personal endorsements, including mineral water, sanitary napkins and lipstick products. She also has to be a flying guest in two variety shows, and there is also a variety show with a resident MC. Both parties are currently working on it. It is very likely that they will win the contract, and there are new group singles and dances to learn. The most important and challenging thing is that Julie won them an audition for a film and television drama!

To this end, Julie also hired a professional acting teacher for Jiang Ran and others to stay with them so that they could be taught anytime and anywhere during the free time between the two schedule announcements. Julie's original intention was good, but Jiang Ran felt like she was being watched all the time. As soon as she had some free time, she was pulled to practice acting, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. It wasn't until I got to know the acting teacher that I gradually let go. From being forced to study to actively seeking guidance later on, my acting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and I was no longer embarrassed to be digging into three rooms and one living room with my toes.

While recording the OST that day, Starlight Girls couldn't make any progress. They got stuck in one place and the recording teacher kept yelling "Stop, do it again"!

"Stop! Let's do it again!"

"stop!"

After being denied for a whole day, the members of Starlight Girls didn't look very good. Firstly, wasting time like this and making no progress would affect the next schedule. Secondly, being denied constantly like this was really a slap in the face and it was a blow to them. Contempt of business ability!

And the problem they have is not out of tune or transposition, but their emotions!

"Emotions must be expressed here. The singing must be layered and have a progression of emotions. That is, the heroine's feelings for the hero are gradually deepening."

"There is joy and joy here because she is about to see her sweetheart..."

"The chorus part is kind of sweet. I want it to be so sweet that it makes people know that this is the beauty of love..."

After stumbling and making constant modifications according to the recording teacher's requirements, I finally finished recording the song "Lover" on the fourth day of recording. The demo is expected to be available in a week.

As soon as the recording was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the recording studio where they had been feeling sick for the past few days, and returned to the hotel bed to sleep for a day and a night!

Two months have slipped away quietly in the blink of an eye. With the last two days left in March, the four members of Starlight Girls, Lin Luyao, Feiyun, Jiang Ran and Shi Yue, were packed away by Julie. Walked to the crew to audition.

The crew they are going to audition for today is a martial arts costume crew. Its current name is "Sword Roaring Nine States Record". It is not clear whether the name will be changed to Jiang Ran in the future. After all, the filming of a drama is only temporary. Just give it a name, and it may be changed at any time later due to plot, review, etc.

Today is the first time for the girls of Starlight Girls to participate in a film and television audition, except for Shi Yue. Julie is more nervous than any of them. She keeps talking about various precautions along the way, and she is about to arrive at the set. , Julie stopped and turned her head to look at the girls, "Do you understand what I just said?"

Several others followed her uneasily. They paused when they heard this, nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and said, "We understand."

Julie was still worried and asked a few random questions, "Who is the director of this play?"

"The chief director is Director Li Zimu, who is best at shooting group dramas. In addition to Director Li, there are three assistant directors. Two of the assistant directors are students of Director Li Zimu, and the other assistant director is good at palace fighting dramas. Director Wang was specially invited by Director Li to assist in the filming. In addition to these four directors, there are about a dozen other directors, casting directors, action directors, post-production directors, etc."

Julie nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Who is the leading actor?"

"Among the male and female protagonists currently selected, the male lead is actor Mo Xuan, and the female lead is Ren Tingting from New Four Little Flowers."

"What are their respective taboos?"

"Mo Movie Emperor doesn't like to eat ginger, onion, garlic, coriander and other foods. He likes to drink coffee but not milk tea or tea, but he likes sweets, and..."

In the midst of such questions and answers, the group entered the room specially prepared by the crew for the purpose of selecting supporting roles. At that time, all the other artists who came for formal auditions had finished their auditions yesterday, so today was an extra audition for people like them.

Jiang Ran originally thought that there were only a few members of her Starlight Girls group today, but she didn't expect to see several other young men and women waiting outside the waiting room, who seemed to be related to them...
