Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 396 Even a high mountain couldn't make him look up to it.

As a top-tier celebrity with an unparalleled influence, Bai Liang has garnered an extremely high level of attention.

So high that if he doesn't show up for even a few days, people don't know where he is and can't help but start looking for him.

Back then, Lu Han was able to turn even a roadside mailbox into a popular spot for internet celebrities by virtue of his overwhelming popularity. Now, Bai Liang can do the same thing.

However, he's rather lazy, so what he popularized wasn't the mailbox, but his own RV sofa.

As for Everest Base Camp, it doesn't need him to make it famous, because the world's highest peak is already the world's top attraction.

Even if many people have never seen Mount Everest in their lives or witnessed its golden sunrise, it doesn't prevent them from knowing the name of the world's highest peak.

Now, the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry have met the top celebrities in nature, which has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"Is it for recording a TV show or filming a movie? Why did you go to such a high altitude?"

"The schedule announced by Da Xian Studio is in a gap these days, and it seems that it was already free a long time ago. It feels like a commercial announcement."

"He wouldn't be like Hu Ge and go pick up trash, would he? But Hu Ge seems to have been picking up trash in Qinghai."

"That Red Bull logo gives me a strange sense of unease; I have a feeling that this guy is going to pull something scary."

"He had this thing with him when he went skydiving last time. What's he going to do with it this time?"

"There's also Deng Zhong and Deng Lao, so it shouldn't be too flashy."

"."

Netizens are buzzing with discussion, seemingly eager to know what Bai Liang is up to.

The studio's official Weibo account helped answer everyone's question.

It was very brief, just two words, but powerful and resounding!
"travel."

Netizen: Brilliant! How come we "didn't think of that"?

As for whether to believe it or not, Bai Liang's "credibility" when it comes to pranks is very low.

There's a very high chance he'll suddenly do something big.
But at first glance, this explanation does seem quite reasonable. After filming for so long, can't people relax a bit?
It's just a vacation, there's nothing wrong with it.

Although most people wouldn't choose to vacation in a place with such a high altitude.

But Bai Liang, this "lunatic," is clearly no ordinary person either.

Moreover, this time there was more than one "lunatic" like him.

It was one thing for Wu Jing, the "Wolf Warrior," to join in the fun, but after the incident gained traction, more photos were taken at the Everest Base Camp and posted online.

To everyone's surprise, there was actually a Zhang Chaoyang!
How did this guy end up with those two? Did they just bump into each other by chance?
However, some netizens commented that Zhang Chaoyang's appearance there was not surprising at all.

Among the internet giants, Zhang Chaoyang is not only a pioneer, known as "China's first internet figure" and "the godfather of the internet," but also one of the most restless and innovative.

In August of the year before last, he swam from the coast of Xingcheng, Huludao to Juehua Island and crossed the Xingcheng Strait, which amazed the industry and was called a superman.
On the Dragon Boat Festival last year, he successfully completed the challenge of swimming 10 kilometers across the Qingjiang River in Yichang. The actual swimming distance was more than 12 kilometers. After the swim, he was full of confidence and said that "his future goal is the English Channel."
Three months later, he crossed the Han River in South Korea.

Other activities like hiking and running at higher frequencies would be even more demanding.

Moreover, Zhang Chaoyang had already "visited" Mount Everest in the early 2000s. Although he did not reach the summit, he did climb to an altitude of 6666 meters.

Back then it was mostly for publicity, but now it's probably more purely for promotion, just like when he goes to teach physics.

Moreover, Wu Jing is too arrogant. He hasn't even climbed the mountain yet, and he's already bragging about going to climb Mount Everest with Bai Liang.

I bragged about it to people at the Weibo Movie Night, and then I bragged about it again while drinking with others.

This has made a lot of people aware of the matter, and they thought they were about to do something big.

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that these two were the ones who wanted to cause trouble.
Bai Liang suspected that the reason he was so enthusiastic might be because he was a little overwhelmed by the boast he had made.

The boast has already been made; if we don't come, wouldn't we be contradicting ourselves?
You absolutely have to come and see Mount Everest!

However, after hearing about this, Zhang Chaoyang was very eager to come and join in the fun, as he really loved being involved in such excitement.

Besides, he and Bai Liang are considered "old friends".

Although Sohu is indeed not doing so well and can't really cooperate with Bai Liang, Bai Liang has always had a good attitude towards Sohu's media. When interviewed, Sohu reporters' VIP ranking was second only to Xiao Shui on Weibo.

After all, when he first debuted, people treated him quite well.

Previously, this often made the reporters from Sohu feel flattered and overwhelmed.
As for his personal relationship with Zhang Chaoyang, they had run together before, and Bai Liang lapped him repeatedly. Later, Bai Liang even treated Zhang Chaoyang to drinks at a bar.

Even if there is an age difference between men, having had this kind of friendship can actually be considered a pretty good relationship.

However, whether it's Wu Jing or Zhang Chaoyang, they really are both here for "tourism".

The two of them never intended to climb up directly this time.

For ordinary people, Mount Everest is the only "first" that can be remembered. The height of the world's highest peak has always represented an ultimate challenge and courage.

Mount Everest, in Tibetan, means "goddess".

Climbing Mount Everest is probably similar to pursuing a goddess.

Realizing the true nature of Mount Everest will be a process of shattering illusions.

8844.43! This is more than just a number.

The oxygen content at the summit is about 33% of that at sea level. You can roughly simulate the feeling of being panting heavily while climbing stairs, then holding your breath and only taking one breath when you should be taking three.

Other risks include sub-zero temperatures, deadly crevasses, blizzards during bad weather, avalanches, ice avalanches, falls, altitude sickness, and physical exhaustion.
Even though commercial summiting is quite mature nowadays, it still symbolizes the extreme altitude of nature, and a wrong move could really be fatal.

Essentially, this is extreme sports.

Therefore, there is a window of opportunity for summiting, with May and September being the generally recognized ideal times to climb.

If you're "lucky," you might even encounter a "major traffic jam" on Mount Everest.

Queuing at an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters is such an exciting experience!
As for the current time... well, it's a good time for sightseeing.

So there's nothing wrong with this tourist destination; very few people climb up, and there are many tourists.

After signing autographs and taking photos with a few more tourists who knew they were there and had gathered around with great enthusiasm, Bai Liang couldn't help but start mocking Wu Jing:
"You've been setting up a tent for so long, are you even capable of doing it?"

"How could it not work? I'm just slow because the altitude is too high, and I'm not used to it yet," Wu Jing retorted stubbornly.

Then he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Bai Liang's tent, and his lips twitched.

This kid really acts like a big shot, bringing so many "assistants" to the Everest Base Camp.

The so-called assistants were actually a professional mountaineering team that Red Bull had found for Bai Liang.

He's a professional; he can arrange everything perfectly for him.

After working hard for half a day, Master Wu finally chose to give up and shamefully asked Bai Liang's "assistants" for help.

Of course, he himself squatted down next to it and studied it carefully.
But he remained defiant, saying that someone like Bai Liang couldn't accumulate experience, so how could he reach the top next time?
Zhang Chaoyang also agreed with his statement, saying that mountaineering is a science that requires special attention to detail, including constantly monitoring one's heart rate and blood oxygen levels, what clothes to wear, and whether one's emotions are in a calm state, which is equivalent to a very meticulous self-management.

This was a very professional opinion, but then his tent still wasn't set up.

In the words of this internet mogul, it's been a while since he played, and he'd forgotten about it.

Bai Liang's assessment of this was that if the two of them died, their bodies would be weak but their mouths would definitely be tough!

However, the saying "a man is a boy until he dies" continues to gain more weight.

After the three of them spent a long time studying the water, Wu Jing finally boiled it. The smile on his face was even brighter than when "Wolf Warrior 2" was a huge hit.

"I told you it could boil! Dude, you didn't make movies for nothing, and you didn't learn so much about mountaineering for nothing either."

Bai Liang simply took off his gloves and reached out to touch her.

"Even if it's opened, it'll still boil!"

"What the hell?"

"It's not hot enough."

A little-known fact about high-altitude areas: you don't need a pressure cooker here, because the water won't boil to 100 degrees Celsius.

There were many similar strange phenomena, but after playing for half a day, Wu Jing successfully caused himself to experience altitude sickness.

Fortunately, he had Bai Liang by his side.

To help Wu Jing recover as quickly as possible, Bai Liang lit a cigarette.
"I've never seen you smoke before?"

Bai Liang took a couple of puffs, smoking with a rather professional air, and then said quite honestly:
"I really don't smoke, I'm just pretending, are you sure you can pull it off, Greyhound?"

Wu Jing: Cha~
The longer you know this guy, the more you'll discover the kind of wicked humor hidden beneath this seemingly gentle Kapibala.

This guy actually lit a cigarette on the plateau just to mock him. He's really not afraid of accidentally inhaling it into his lungs.

After Bai Liang, who had taught himself to blow smoke rings, started to show off his skills, Wu Jing finally closed his eyes.

It's not that I'm dead, but I don't want to see it anymore. I'm going to rest well and get through the altitude sickness.

Wu Jing hadn't slept for long when he felt someone poking him. He wearily opened his eyes and saw Bai Liang smiling at him with a small twig in his hand. Seeing that he was awake, Bai Liang asked, "Are you dead yet?"

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

"Get up and get ready to see the sunrise over the mountains."

These words startled Wu Jing, but after he crawled out of his sleeping bag with a headache, he looked at the sky outside and was speechless.

"The clouds are so thick. The sky is overcast all day; how can we expect to see the golden sunrise on the mountains?"

well said!
The golden sunrise on the snow-capped mountains is indeed a rare sight, mainly because it requires very specific weather conditions. Sunlight coming from below the horizon is reflected by the clouds and scattered by the lower atmosphere, which will dye the snow-capped mountains with a rare and precious "mountain-colored glow".

So, they found a spot and waited for over an hour.

The dark clouds in the sky hadn't cleared up, but instead, a thick fog rolled in.

"We won't be able to see it today, let's come back tomorrow. We're going to stay here for a few more days anyway, and when the weather is better, we can climb a little higher, so it won't be a wasted trip."

Wu Jing didn't blame Bai Liang for pulling him up; instead, he comforted him.

Bai Liang smiled and glanced at the thick fog. "Don't rush."

"Can this fog suddenly dissipate?"

As soon as Wu Jinggang finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of golden light out of the corner of his eye.

A strong wind blew, and a crack appeared between the dark clouds and thick fog!

Immediately afterwards, a ray of golden light descended from the sky and shone on the snow-capped mountain peak, resembling a golden Potala Palace.

Apart from Bai Liang, the group suddenly felt a surge of excitement, as if their throats had been choked, making them breathless with excitement.

Mount Everest, the "Goddess" finally revealed all its details amidst golden light.

Mountain peaks and the sun.

The enormous and imposing mountain has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Despite the vicissitudes of time, the sea has never diminished its steadfastness, and the biting winds have never dispelled its silence.

The sun is an almost eternal entity. Although we know that the sun was born 4.6 billion years ago, this number is almost infinite for humankind and unimaginable. Humans and planktonic life are insignificant in the face of this number.

The golden sunrise over the mountain dynamically combines two eternal beauties in a way that cannot be superimposed.

Beautiful, breathtaking, mysterious.

And it's dangerous!
Like and comment on "Sunrise over the Golden Mountain" for good luck and may all your wishes come true.

The awe-inspiring power of nature always seems to make humankind feel its own insignificance.

However, after his initial excitement subsided, Wu Jing inadvertently glanced at Bai Liang beside him.

The other person's composure completely exceeded his expectations, and it was clear that it wasn't feigned modesty, but rather an appreciation of the breathtaking scenery before him.

It was completely out of place compared to the awe and reverence that others around him felt for this majestic mountain.

It was as if even the highest mountains could not make him look up.

Upon closer reflection, he suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu.

Bai Liang seemed very confident that he would see the sunrise over the Golden Mountain today, but it was completely incomprehensible where his confidence came from.

His "assistants," including those highly experienced mountaineering experts, all felt that it was impossible to see the sunrise over the mountain today.

And then this thing came out of nowhere.
Looking back on the time from when we first met until now, Bai Liang's behavior towards him seems to reflect the same attitude he has towards people.

I've never seen Bai Liang show any sense of awe or reverence for anything.

You should know that even when Wu Jing became incredibly powerful, he couldn't do this.
A hothead with no sense of awe could never stand in such a high position, especially with such good interpersonal relationships.

This is so damn contradictory!

"Great Immortal?"

"what?"

"You really know how to do it?"

Bai Liang looked innocently at Wu Jing, who seemed very eager to learn, and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Jing, you have to believe in science~ You've been reading too many wish-fulfillment novels, haven't you?"

These words almost caused Wu Jing, who was already feeling much better, to fall back into the unbearable altitude sickness.

"Take control of your breathing; this is a high-altitude area," Zhang Chaoyang kindly advised, looking at Wu Jing's flushed face.

At the same time, he thought to himself: This Wolf Warrior is still too impetuous. I reckon he won't have much of a chance to reach the top unless he takes a couple of years to adjust.

However, there are also many athletes who prepare for climbing Mount Everest for several years.

This is never something that can be achieved overnight; you can't just rush ahead with a lot of courage.

Even if it were a real Wolf Warrior from a movie, it wouldn't work if it could unleash its full power.

Zhang Chaoyang himself had experienced failures, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

As for Bai Liang, he was simply unfathomable.

From the time he first met him until now, he still hasn't been able to fully understand this "little friend".

When he met Bai Liang, he was still unknown, but he became a top star overnight.

What's even more unfathomable is yet to come!

Damn it, in the early hours of the second day, just a few hours after watching the sunrise over the golden mountains, Bai Liang and his "assistants" were already preparing to set off.

The weather department has sent a positive signal: a three-day window of opportunity has appeared.

However, during this rainy season, they were the only team at the entire Everest Base Camp preparing to make a final push to the summit.

Pack your backpack, check the oxygen, check the ropes.
In the dim light of the early morning, the Red Bull logo stood out prominently.

"It's all here."

Bai Liang said this.

Then, leaving the bewildered Zhang Chaoyang and the dumbfounded Wu Jing with a dashing back view, he embarked on a "spontaneous trip" right in front of them.

The two looked at each other, feeling a sense of bewilderment, as if they were still half asleep.

Dude, it's the rainy season, and you're already up here?!

Watching the guy's departing figure, Wu Jing couldn't help but slap his own face. "Zhao! I should have insisted on bringing him into the 'Climbers' crew back then!"

His trip here was not without purpose; he wanted to generate some buzz, promote "The Climbers," and do some marketing.

It was just a side thing; Wu Jing didn't have much motivation to work his ass off for this movie.

After all, he knows how well the filming turned out; all he needs to do is help promote it.

Actually, Bai Liang's purpose in coming here wasn't entirely for tourism; otherwise, what was the point of that amazing mountaineering team?
These people are planning to make a short documentary about him!

Some of the material might even be used to make commercials.

However, this wasn't entirely a commercial announcement; they hadn't originally planned to film it this time.

After all, Bai Liang lacked experience.

But if he insists on going, the mountaineering team will naturally not object, after all, there are many experts among them.

If it weren't for making a documentary, these people might actually have "lifted him up."

When celebrities reach the level of Bai Liang and Wu Jing, it's practically impossible for them to completely avoid commercial involvement when doing things like this.

Their influence is undeniable.

It's like when many celebrities get married, they even hold a business conference.

Public figures with high enough name recognition are themselves a form of commercial value.

Even if Bai Liang just comes to climb a mountain, he can easily make a lot of money because there are plenty of people willing to pay for it.

Not to mention the two of them, even Zhang Chaoyang wasn't just joining in the fun.

He is arguably the internet mogul who most enjoys interacting with the entertainment industry, having relied on his numerous celebrity friends to boost the popularity of his products back in the blog era.

This trip couldn't possibly be just for sightseeing.

Sure enough, before the documentary was even filmed, he said that Sohu Video wanted to buy the copyright. Unfortunately, Bai Liang said that he had no say in these matters and gave him Yanzi's contact information.

After learning of his idea, Wu Jing felt a little sympathy for him.

That General Manager Yan is a tough one to deal with, especially when it comes to negotiating prices. He had experienced it firsthand once. That little girl was so fierce and aggressive towards him that she almost turned the mighty Wolf into a lapdog.
