Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 395 The New Generation of Sad Frogs
When Bai Liang uttered the word "Mom," Reba, a native of Xinjiang, seemed to transform into someone from Sichuan.

Bai Liang was stunned by his amazing face-changing skills.

She initially declined with a smile, but her eyes widened instantly, like a kitten smelling fish.

And she was in a hurry!
She tugged at Bai Liang, trying to see his phone's chat interface, while stomping her feet on the spot.

The expression on its face became pitiful, and its eyebrows seemed to droop, forming an adorable V-shape.

"I didn't send it, just kidding~"

Bai Liang stopped teasing her and showed her his chat history with his mother.

That voice message was indeed not sent.

This relieved Reba, who then immediately slapped Bai Liang hard, exclaiming, "You scared me to death!"

"It can't be that bad, can it?"

"Is it really necessary? I've never even had any dealings with Auntie. What if she gets upset with me for doing this?" Reba muttered to herself.

But then she realized, "Auntie invested in that animated movie?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would I be jumping around like this?"

To be honest, Bai Liang's fans all felt that something was amiss.

She only did some voice-over work; it shouldn't be necessary for her to go to such lengths to promote it.

It feels like I have to mention it in everything I do.

However, since this was Bai Liang's first voice-over film, and he had been quite active in promoting his previous projects, no one really went into the details.

Even Dilraba only learned about this from him now.

However, the girls in the "Joy of Life" crew all knew about this, because Bai's mother was "tricked" in the crew at the time.

They've been incredibly enthusiastic about promoting "Ne Zha." They've been sharing the trailers that have been released and praising it to the skies.

Meng Jie, who is known for her boasting, even dared to tell her fans in the comments section, "I think this movie could make 3 billion."

Her fans are all laughing at her for talking nonsense.

After all, the current ceiling for animated films is "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," which grossed over 900 million yuan but failed to break the 1 billion yuan mark.

Of course, considering Bai Liang's involvement, we'll overestimate it to the maximum extent possible. Two billion is the maximum.

This estimation method already maximizes Bai Liang's box office appeal.

After all, this is just his voice acting; his box office appeal shouldn't be so outrageous just because he's providing a voice.

Otherwise, how could the second "sci-fi masterpiece" next door dare to engage in such comparisons?

But Dilraba's focus has changed now!

We need to promote it! We absolutely must help promote it!
This movie is bound to be a huge hit!
To her delight, Bai Liang actually reported his "achievements" to his mother.

Seeing Bai's mother's reply, "Wow~ thank you so much!", Dilraba felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Clearly, men and women have different attitudes towards each other's parents because of their different ecological niches.

Bai Liang needed to consider how to avoid being beaten by the "yellow-haired brat," while Reba's consideration was simpler: how to make Bai's mother like her more.

The word used here is "更".

Clearly, people already liked her because of her well-behaved and sensible nature.

At this moment, Reba stopped talking, staring wide-eyed at Bai Liang, her lips pursed in anticipation.

At the same time, she reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, gently shaking it.
"What's the matter?"

"Yeah, you know what I mean."

"Why don't you just be blunt? Why are you suddenly making me guess?"

"Oh dear, I'm a little embarrassed." Reba puffed out her cheeks and continued to shake Bai Liang's clothes. Bai Liang had never seen her like that before.

Pure coquetry, without a trace of pretense.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was wearing that robe.
"Do you want my mom to thank you in person?"

That's not what I meant.

At that moment, Dilraba felt like she was being incredibly dramatic, but she just couldn't help it.

At the same time, I'm really embarrassed to be too explicit.

So all I could do was continue to whine and beg, "Please, you understand what I mean, right!"

Bai Liang did understand.

After thinking for a moment, I clicked the small plus sign at the bottom of the WeChat chat interface, my finger hovering back and forth between "video call" and "voice call," while asking, "Which one?"

Dilraba quickly replied, "A voice message will do!"

He made a voice message and then handed her the phone.
Dilraba was so nervous that she almost dropped her phone, feeling her heart pounding in her chest.

It was only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity to her.

Then a gentle voice came from beside him: "Handsome boy, what's wrong?"

“Auntie, I’m Dilireba. He told me you needed to talk to me.”

Dilraba's strong delivery of lines, which enabled her to defeat her opponents and advance in "The Voice," vanished at this moment, and she spoke haltingly.

However, she hadn't forgotten to use Bai Liang as a shield.

Otherwise, it would seem like she's being too forward.
As for whether Bai's mother really had something to ask her?
Even if it didn't exist before, it suddenly exists now.

Bai Liang didn't listen to their conversation. He was initially interested, but later found it really boring—it felt like they were just repeating the same things over and over.

And yet, they ended up chatting for a full hour and a half!
If the director hadn't called for them to start filming, these two might have continued their awkward conversation.

Women are truly terrifying in this respect!
However, Dilraba's mood improved significantly after chatting with Bai's mother.

However, he considers himself quite particular, taking a shower once a day, and sometimes even an extra shower if he sweats from exercising in the morning.

And he doesn't have smelly feet!
It's absolutely gorgeous!
Sometimes Bai Liang even wondered if he was being too effeminate.

Dilraba: This is still quite a distance from my mother.

Moreover, she always felt that Bai Liang didn't get clean enough when he took a bath. He would only bathe for a minute or two, and it felt like he was just kissing the water.

It even caused her a problem: why do guys feel clean after washing their hair and using face wash at most?

The other areas were just haphazardly rubbed together. It felt like they were just going through the motions.

Moreover, Bai Liang really doesn't use shower gel much unless she reminds him to, and he absolutely hates using a bath sponge to make bubbles.

Hmph, I don't like shooting bubbles, but I really like shooting cannons.
It's said that a man and a woman can tell if they're suitable for marriage by going on a trip together.

Cohabitation like this is pretty much the same thing.

While enjoying sweet moments, everyone thinks the other person is exceptionally good. However, differences in daily habits can actually test each other's ability to be tolerant.

It's perfectly normal for people to dislike each other.

Fortunately, these weren't fundamental issues that were completely intolerable. Reba initially found them a little unpleasant, but gradually began to enjoy the situation of urging Bai Liang to do certain things.

For example, you can watch him use the shower gel, but whether or not he lathers it is irrelevant; it's a compromise between you.

Of course, these kinds of things are reciprocal.

After exercising, the two of them took a shower, changed into their pajamas, and were about to watch TV together before going to bed when Bai Liang offered a small suggestion.

There will be all sorts of problems.

But once the main problem is solved, the others are generally not a problem.

Let's not even talk about these trivial matters. Even some victims of domestic violence, because of the excessive harmony in certain aspects, may cry and complain, but divorce and separation are absolutely out of the question. However, just when Dilraba felt that the two had worked out well in their lives, separation always came as expected.

The last time something like this happened was more than three years ago.

She was really upset when filming for "Love O2O" wrapped up.

Moreover, their relationship hadn't reached that level yet; their intimacy mainly came from filming, and it was more of an intimate, romantic feeling.
The future is bright, but getting on with the journey is the priority.

The bitterness behind this sentence is something only those who have been in love truly understand.

If Kapibala hadn't popped up so quickly that he reappeared in Reba's world in the blink of an eye, she would have been really emotional for a while.

As for now... well, we've already met at the peak, haven't we?
Although Bai Liang was standing a little higher, Reba felt that she could still see him just by looking up.

Instead of looking up and only seeing the clouds swirling around the mountainside.

Well, she doesn't have that "strong woman" complex; she thinks it's good that Bai Liang is more capable than her.

This time, however, it was a different kind of indescribable discomfort.

It even gave Dilraba a strange feeling: We were doing so well together, getting along better and better, and we were planning to have a baby. And now you want to break us up?!

Film crew: ???
No, my two ancestors, filming has wrapped up.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were Fahai, the one who separated Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

What, do you two need an audience to watch you date?
Whether there's an audience or not isn't important, but having a reason to film a movie that brings the two of them together is very important!
Reba, who was living a blissful life, suddenly realized that she had to go back to working hard again. The sense of loss made her feel extremely sad.

But no matter how painful it is, this is a reality that we have to face.

So, on the day that "You Are My Glory" officially wrapped up filming, the entire crew witnessed the female lead's ferocious, uncontrollable crying.

The tears flowed freely, as if they were free.

She would cry while taking a photo, she would cry while giving flowers, and at the wrap party, tears never stopped flowing.

Her crying was incredibly moving.

It can be described as an absolutely superb crying scene!

The consequence was that Dilraba's eyes were swollen when she attended a certain event the next day.

When he takes off his sunglasses, he looks like a sad frog.
Jing Tian: This track is so narrow, and someone's still trying to take it from me? Here, take it.

She had wanted to get rid of this nickname for a long time. She had previously undergone double eyelid surgery, but the result was that the sutures created a bulge, making her double eyelids particularly wide and swollen. People called her the "Sad Frog," and for a long time, she felt regretful and depressed every day as she stared at her double eyelids.

It was finally fixed after a lot of trouble.
But this label hasn't been completely shaken off.

As it turns out, Dilireba actually took it over, hehehe.

Jing Tian: Then I hereby appoint you as the new generation of Sad Frog, take over!
Of course, Dilraba's haters wouldn't let such a "good opportunity" pass by, and they released a bunch of unflattering pictures that day.
Unfortunately, before it could provoke widespread ridicule and backlash from rivals, the production team's official Weibo account released some behind-the-scenes footage:
It was said that Dilraba's eyes were swollen because she was too immersed in the crying scene.

This was a huge compliment to her dedication.

Actors making themselves look ugly for a role is, to some extent, a form of political correctness, and therefore falls into the category that cannot be ridiculed.

As for whether the scene with such intense crying can be added to the final cut or removed, there's nothing that can be done about it.

We'll put it in the trailer as a treat for the audience.

As for the fans, besides praising Dilraba's professionalism, they also began to look forward to this seemingly diverse drama, "You Are My Glory," as if they couldn't wait for the post-production to be completed so they could watch it immediately.

As expected, "You Are My Glory" announced its broadcast date the day after filming wrapped.

It's not next month, but next year, but the exact date has been pinpointed, indicating that I absolutely will not back out.

Before the fans could even get excited, the official Weibo account of "Go Go Squid!" almost immediately announced the broadcast time.

The atmosphere is very tense!
Moreover, the official announcements of the two dramas' broadcast dates were very close, one after the other.

It's not entirely about fighting in the arena, but it's absolutely impossible without fighting in the arena!

The showdown between two top-tier post-90s actresses seems to have begun from this moment.

"Looking forward to 'Glory'! Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei have become Yu Tu and Qiao Jingjing, I'm definitely buying it without thinking! It's absolutely super sweet!"

"Sister, we're on the same page! Just the leaked photos and behind-the-scenes footage released by the production team have made me squeal with delight! Give me some sweetness!"

"Reheating leftovers from three years ago, what's there to be proud of? 'Go Go Squid!' is a sure winner, from the theme to the suitability of the characters, it crushes the competition in every way. I heard it has a lot of e-sports elements! It's both exciting and sweet!"

"Support! Support! Only a dog would want to eat that industrial saccharin from Dilireba's spinning top. I still remember the look in Nazha's eyes when she looked at Daxian on the show, including what she said when the two of them were skydiving. Fake is fake, and you can never fake it with real stuff!"

"Can Gulnazar's dog get away from here?! She's even bringing up scripts from variety shows. What's so great about her acting skills? All her shows are flops."

"Comparing themes? Aerospace elements are so much more sophisticated than your damn e-sports! What's so great about that? How many hit dramas has Ms. Gulnazar had? No way, no way~ they all flopped?"

"Heh, a flop? How much did your movies gross before you dare to brag about it?"

"The movie didn't do well at the box office, but she's the female lead in 'The Wandering Earth 2,' handpicked by the director and the male lead. If you disagree, come at me."

"Oh my, if you didn't know better, you'd think she was the female lead in 'The Wandering Earth.' I just checked, and she's clearly Zhao Jinmai. You dare to hype up a movie with a loan? That Zhao is the female lead in 'Wolf Warrior 2.' You guys should make your movie first before comparing."

"Movie stars are superior to TV stars. Please, Dilireba, don't try to overstep your bounds and try to take advantage of others. She's not worthy of it."

"."

What a scene of war and chaos!

The intensity of the battle was truly astonishing, and both sides used incredibly skillful techniques.

There's even a strange sense of déjà vu that "they were all taught by the same master, so they can't break each other's moves."

This left Li Xin and the others somewhat bewildered.

No, the drama "Joy of Life" is about to end and it's still trending on social media. Are these two new girls from Jiangnan already so impatient to start fighting?

Can't you please respect the existence of the king of dramas?!
If you didn't know better, you'd think these two each starred in a hit drama, but that's obviously impossible!
Although industry insiders generally believe that both dramas could become hits, due to limitations such as subject matter, it is obviously too difficult, almost impossible, for them to become the king of dramas.

But the intensity of the battle between the two sides was even greater than that of the drama king.

It hasn't even aired yet. Filming just wrapped up. Who knows how bad things will get when both dramas are finally airing?

Many industry insiders have kept track of the broadcast times for these two shows.

If possible, it's best to avoid it.
Just look at the destructive power of "Joy of Life" now; it's practically an indiscriminate area-of-effect attack.

Individually, those two might not be considered top-tier dramas, but together... well, who knows?

However, some people find it strange that only these two girls are trying to get attention.

It's worth noting that, almost as if they were fighting on the same online platform, Nezha and Reba have been making frequent public appearances these past few days.

Of course, essentially it was each team buying trending topics; it was a competition between them.

But then a problem arose: Kapibala, who had both stories and collaborations with these two, suddenly seemed to have disappeared from the public eye.

The key point is that it's not as simple as him not trending on social media; he's simply disappeared from the public eye!
Although there's a strange urban legend among paparazzi, Bai Liang's whereabouts have always been relatively transparent.

Finding others is not difficult.

But this time, it was as if he had suddenly disappeared from our lives.

It wasn't until at the remote Everest Base Camp that a group photo was posted by a mountaineering enthusiast.

The person in the group photo is none other than Kapibala, a bird that everyone is very familiar with.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, suggesting a slight altitude sickness, but her expression and complexion looked remarkably natural and healthy.

There was a wolf packing a tent not far away.

The tent also had a large Red Bull logo, which provided a perfectly reasonable explanation for the two men's presence in the area.

Netizen:? ? ?
Holy crap, what are they trying to do?!
