Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 398 This is truly a two-way journey

"It's been a long time indeed. Have you been playing games lately?"

"Yes, I should be able to solo kill my senior six more times without any problem," Chen Duling said with a smile.

Ah this~
So confident?

To be honest, Bai Liang was a little surprised that Chen Duling, who was initially rejected, actually won the competition for the female lead in "Better Days".

I clearly remember that this girl went to audition a long time ago, and then was rejected for some reason.

So when the Starry Sea Young Actors Project held its event, she was able to stay out of it and watch the other girls "fight" with Bai Liang.

Turning around, it turned out that the person who was just watching the show had actually taken the lead.

It certainly made the show incredibly entertaining.

"Senior, who did you originally hope would stand in front of you? Couldn't it be me?" Chen Duling said in a suddenly pitiful tone.

Combined with her innocent, bunny-like appearance, she is quite charming.

"Of course it could be you. To be precise, it would be best if it were you," Bai Liang said honestly.

The little rabbit's eyes lit up when it heard the word "best"!
If she had long ears, they'd probably stand up immediately too!
"Really?"

"How could this be fake? Did you prepare a motorhome? If not, don't ask the production crew to rent one for you."

Chen Duling was quite clever and understood Bai Liang's meaning in a second. After all, what was in Bai Liang's RV was not a secret.

So many people have taken photos of this place before, and not just of the sofa, but also of all sorts of other facilities.

An absolute haven for internet addicts.

Therefore, Chen Duling naturally knew that the person was talking about playing games, and did not imagine anything strange.

So he clenched his little fist and said energetically, "Let's work until dawn!"

Wow~ A girl addicted to the internet?

However, Bai Liang said he doesn't like staying up late, "I'm not eighteen anymore, I might die if I worked until dawn~"

Actually, with his energy, staying up all night to play games is not a problem at all.

But we must always be prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

You shouldn't wait until you're exhausted to soak goji berries in your thermos; you should do it while you're full of energy.

It will be too late to think of a solution if things really don't work out!

"No way! Senior, you're exaggerating. I think you can do it!"

"At most once or twice, no more than that. As long as you have fun, that's all that matters. How can you get so addicted?"

"Alright then~" Chen Duling said, feigning disappointment.

However, she doesn't actually like staying up late. What pretty girl would like something that's bad for her skin?

She mainly wanted to solidify her skills in this area.

However, Zhou Ye, who was not far away, heard the conversation between the two and interpreted it in a completely different way.

At this moment, Zhou Ye's inner thoughts were: ? ? ?
Wow!
Working until dawn?! That's so wild!
He couldn't help but steal a glance at Chen Duling. Hmm, she didn't seem like the wild type of girl at all.

However, you can't judge a person by appearances alone.

There's a term online called "contrast," and it seems that this Dudu sister is quite the contrast type.

Zhou Ye felt like he had stumbled upon some juicy gossip, and he was even considering whether he should secretly observe them while they were "working until dawn."

It's not that she has any interest in that area; she's just purely curious. Can someone really "go all night"? Their body must be incredibly strong!
I couldn't help but glance at Bai Liang again, and thinking about it, it made sense.

He was able to summit Mount Everest, so his physical condition must be exceptional!
But Chen Duling looks thin and weak, can she really handle it?
It won't break, will it?
As she thought about it, Zhou Ye's face turned a little red. After all, she was only twenty years old and couldn't handle having all sorts of crazy thoughts on her mind.

Soon it even turned reddish-brown.

I reached out and touched my face; it was burning hot!

"How are you?"

Unfortunately, after chatting with Chen Duling for a few minutes, Bai Liang didn't forget Zhou Ye.

Kapibala's main selling point is its central air conditioning system, so how could they leave her out?

When I came over to check on her, I noticed that the little girl's face and neck were so red.
Zhou Ye's mind was completely blank. She had just been secretly imagining some unhealthy things in her mind, and now she felt like she had been caught red-handed.

It got even more embarrassing, but it also became even more famous!

"Wow, how did you become so famous?" Chen Duling exclaimed with some curiosity.

Indeed, at this moment, Zhou Ye felt as if his whole body was flushed with blood, as if his entire body was turning red, a deep, intense red.

I was secretly enjoying other people's gossip, and now I'm the one being gossiped about.
Just like a badger in a melon patch, it was caught by Runtu the next second and stabbed on the spot!

The rapid turn of fortune left Zhou Ye feeling utterly hopeless.

"You're starting to look a bit like someone from an anime, it's just a shame there's no smoke coming out of your head," Bai Liang said, finding it quite amazing.

Then he added, "She's quite cute."

Zhou Ye: It’s over!

At this moment, it is in its ultimate red temperature state.

If she were a kettle, she would probably make a sharp popping sound.

However, this is not the most "socially dead" moment for Zhou Ye today.

She had finally managed to calm herself down backstage, but when the press conference started and she stood next to Bai Liang to take photos, she couldn't help but look up at him.

Bai Liang, as if he had activated Observation Haki, happened to turn his head and glance at her as well.

When their eyes met
Zhou Ye, right in front of so many media cameras, gave a performance that truly showed what it means to instantly turn red!
Bai Liang: The production team of this movie is quite interesting.

On the left is Chen Duling, a clever little white rabbit.

On the right is Zhou Ye, and the little red-and-warmed dog.

"Wow!"

Even the reporters were starting to lose their composure.

I laughed and kept pressing the shutter button to capture this funny moment.

Facing the media cameras, Zhou Ye felt utterly desperate, muttering to himself: "Destroy it all, I don't want to live anymore."
This is so embarrassing!

As a result, throughout the entire press conference, the girl seemed out of sorts and appeared somewhat withdrawn.

Fortunately, the media's main attention was focused on Bai Liang.

They have a lot of questions to ask about Mount Everest, which just happened not long ago.

Unfortunately, no matter how you ask, he either says he won't answer questions unrelated to the movie, or he tries to persuade everyone to go back and watch the documentary.

That's an interesting statement, something like "I've put everything in there."
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was about to start a new era of mountaineering, with everyone vying for the title of King of the Mountains.

Chen Duling, who had previously become acquainted with Bai Liang through e-sports, naturally received a lot of attention.

Everyone is very curious about how she managed to stand out from a group of young actresses.

However, even though Liu Haolin was born with a special talent, she didn't have much fame at this time. In essence, she hadn't officially debuted yet.

To netizens unaware of the facts, Chen Duling simply defeated a bunch of unknown Xiao Kalami.

It will take several more years to fully understand just how valuable her victory was this time.

Chen Duling's answer at the scene was quite simple: she prepared very hard, was rejected in her first audition, and succeeded on her second attempt.

The story doesn't seem to have many twists and turns, and the effect isn't as good as Zhou Ye's complete red warmth.

Sure enough, after the press conference ended, Zhou Ye still looked like he had lost his parents.

When I got back to the hotel and was getting ready to attend the script reading, my agent suddenly appeared.

Very well, I already had a feeling I was going to get scolded.

Her manager then exclaimed, "Wow, Ono, that's great! You did a fantastic job!"

Zhou Ye:? ? ?
"what?"

"Do you know what you just did?" the agent said with a chuckle.

"What? I'm so embarrassed." Zhou Ye felt that his manager was probably being sarcastic.

"Shameful? No, you're famous." "I am famous, incredibly famous, too famous to be true."

"What are you talking about? I didn't mean it literally. Do you know what netizens were saying about that scene at the press conference?"

"Huh? You're not making fun of me?" Zhou Ye asked, looking puzzled.

The agent smiled and said, "That's true, but Nakamori Meika also thought the same way about Li Ming back then."

She really wasn't lying to Zhou Ye; he's trending right now, and he's even at number one on the trending list!

This result was somewhat unexpected for Zhou Ye. After taking out his phone, he stared blankly at the top trending topic, unsure of what to say.

Is this even possible?!
Facts speak louder than words.

It really works!
Just because he looked up at Bai Liang for a few seconds at the press conference, and his whole face and neck turned red, this one scene made Zhou Ye, who had only been in the industry for less than two years and was still a nobody, almost an overnight sensation.

A bunch of girls were taking photos and commenting: "This girl is so cute~", "I really want to pat her head", "I would have done the same if I were in her shoes~", "".

As for Zhou Ye's own concern about being ridiculed, there was some truth to it, but it seemed to be mostly well-intentioned and not malicious mockery.

The worst thing to say is that she's infatuated with a guy.

Before Zhou Ye could even say anything, a bunch of people immediately defended her, saying, "That's Bai Liang, you know!"

That makes perfect sense!
A lot of people say she's like a puppy begging to be petted, which is a bit strange, but also a rather cute description.

At the same time, the label of "prone to redness" has also been attached to her.

Although this red is not the same as that red, after talking about it for a long time, who can tell the difference anymore?

Of course, there were also some rather cheeky comments, wondering if her face and neck were red, and if other parts of her body were also red. If so, that would be really great!
This person's constitution is far too sensitive!

At that moment, Sister Meng, who was busy with her schedule, suddenly tensed up when she saw her new friend staring at her little hedgehog infatuated on a trending topic.

I have this inexplicable bad feeling.
There's nothing we can do; Li Yitong set a bad precedent.

The wicked kitten's act of stealing food taught Sister Meng a lesson she learned the hard way.

I'll remember this lesson for the rest of my life.

But the only lesson humanity learns from history is that humanity learns nothing from history.

After getting to know Zhou Ye, he asked Sister Meng a lot about Bai Liang.

Sister Meng actually said it. She always has a strong desire to share.

The chat history between the two of them was affecting her phone's memory, mainly because they sent too many emojis.

After seeing today's trending topics, Sister Meng felt a little regretful. She had described Bai Liang in a way that was too positive in order to reassure Zhou Ye about his collaboration with Bai Liang.

Although what he said was all true, the purpose was to reassure Zhou Ye so he could focus on filming without worrying about being bullied by Bai Liang.
But seeing this trending topic, this new best friend might have some weird ideas.

And~
Is her constitution really that sensitive?!
That's a foul!
To be honest, Bai Liang was also a little curious: was it really that sensitive?
But he couldn't very well go and give the girl some red blood and then strip her clothes off to take a look.

That's not appropriate.

What we should be focusing on now is Chen Duling's thoughts.

After all, she, the female lead, was overshadowed by the second female lead from the very beginning, which definitely affected the atmosphere on set.

The story of the second female lead overpowering the first female lead has been told far too many times in the industry.

Previously, Li Yitong and Li Xin, who played characters in "Joy of Life," seemed to have a very good relationship on set, but after the show aired, the two almost came to blows.

To be precise, the battle has already begun!
Later, it was thanks to the intervention of Sister Meng, an "international organization," that things were mediated.

And it seems that this trend is already emerging even before filming has begun.

However, Chen Duling's performance was somewhat unexpected. She seemed completely unconcerned about being overshadowed by Zhou Ye and having her trending topic overshadow hers.

He still called her Ono affectionately, as if the two had a very good relationship.

Girls' thoughts are indeed hard to guess.

"Senior, I'm not faking it."

Bai Liang scratched his head, looking innocent: "I didn't say anything."

Chen Duling gently placed her hands on her hips and gave a soft hum: "I'm very smart. I can tell what you're thinking from your eyes."

No wonder people say that girls are cuter when they're a little silly.

A girl with such a high IQ can easily make people feel frustrated.

Bai Liang surrendered on the spot, but said, "I definitely won't let you see through me next time."

Hearing this, Chen Duling was actually quite happy. Yes, she liked this feeling of being "evenly matched".

She sometimes has to "play dumb" in front of others, and occasionally she even feels like she's about to have a fit of stupidity, but she still tries her best to keep her expression in check.

But not in front of Bai Liang.

She's smart, that's her strength! And it's hers too!
Chen Duling felt that she only needed to show her own strengths and didn't need to hide anything or worry about the other person's feelings.

Because... her senior is better at this than she is!
This is what a two-way journey should be like!
Oh, except for the fact that I killed him six times in a game.

As for why she didn't mind Zhou Ye stealing the spotlight at the press conference, Chen Duling said that she was able to play the female lead thanks to him.

The company behind the other party put in a lot of effort!

Bai Liang didn't pay much attention to the chaotic battle among the young actresses, but they were really fighting tooth and nail!

The companies behind them are all putting in a lot of effort.
Originally, Zhang Jingyi from Dong Shen Future was the closest to being chosen as the female lead, but Hesong, who was behind Zhou Ye, said: Everyone else is fine, but she is not!
These two girls already look somewhat alike, and they both have big names in the entertainment industry behind them, so their future development will definitely be rivals.

How could we let the other side gain such a huge advantage from the very beginning?!
Hesong may not be able to elevate Zhou Ye to the leading lady position, but it's not difficult at all to precisely target and disrupt her rival's leading lady role.

This incident is a microcosm of the power struggles among these young actresses with connections and backgrounds.

To be precise, Dong Shen Future, who is behind Zhang Jingyi, took care of everyone else, while Hesong only did one thing: focus on her alone.

Amidst this chaotic and chaotic capital battle, Chen Duling discovered an opportunity.

Actually, she already had a certain advantage.

Compared to other actresses with more powerful backgrounds, her advantage lies in her fame. After all, she debuted early and has the backing of a youth-oriented, melodramatic film like "The Left Ear," which gives her a certain level of audience appeal.

Even though she's a bit older, her face is still quite youthful, so she could easily play a high school student.

After being rejected in her first audition, she went straight back to work on her "wrong answers".

After discovering an opportunity, she turned down two movies and her first TV series, going all out and even cutting her long hair short.
Her first audition was quickly rejected, but the production team was actually quite interested in her the second time.

Putting everything else aside, that ruthlessness alone is quite fitting for the character.
In this situation, she finally attracted the attention of an "important person".

Swallow: Let me see what's going on.

Damn it, you guys have been casting a female lead for so long and still haven't gotten it sorted out. Are you even capable of this?
She hadn't intended to get involved in this at first, but these people were just too long-winded. Why not just draw lots?

With her intervention, this "war" among the young actresses has finally come to an end.

"sure!"

Looking at Chen Duling's preparations for the role, the densely written character biography, and the script that she had almost worn out, Bai Liang felt that this girl had indeed put in a lot of effort.

Looking at Chen Duling's short, ear-length hair now gives a slightly different feeling.

That's ruthless! They just cut off her long hair like that!
Hair is sometimes like a girl's life.
"You've been working on this for a month or two, haven't you?" Bai Liang estimated the time a little higher based on his own work efficiency.

Upon hearing this, Chen Duling, who had been sitting obediently waiting for praise, suddenly looked dejected. "Senior, I've been studying and preparing for this for over three months."

"Feel sorry."

Actually, Chen Duling was a little "exaggerated"; she spent far more than three months on it.

But to be honest, she, who originally wanted to show Bai Liang her intelligence, suddenly started to feel a little guilty.

She should be considered intelligent, right?
Bai Liang noticed that the girl seemed to be doubting herself because of what he had said, so he quickly tried to smooth things over for her: "Why are you so persistent? I thought you had given up long ago, and you didn't even call me to tell me in the middle."

Upon hearing this, Chen Duling couldn't help but smile and reached out to smooth her hair.

"My teacher used to say that girls weren't good at science, and I was determined to prove him wrong."

"This time, they said I wasn't suitable for the role, that it was too much of a stretch for me to play it."

"But I've always been an excellent student since I was a child."

"I'll force you!"
