Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 403 My Illness Is Above Yours
What's spicy?
Chen Duling stared wide-eyed at Bai Liang, who was gnawing on a rabbit head, seemingly quite incredulous.

Bai Liang looked into her eyes and suddenly realized something. "Hey, that doesn't seem quite right. I called you Little Rabbit before."

These words only made things worse, as they made Bai Liang realize that the rabbit head in his hand no longer tasted good.

So he quickly shifted the blame, saying, "Xiao Ye bought it, I support you going to beat her up."

Finally, Bai Liang added, "Rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them?"

"Pfft~"

Chen Duling couldn't hold back her laughter after hearing this three-part combo, and asked, "Senior, is it delicious?"

"It's alright, just a little dry~ It's worth trying for the first time."

He said it was alright, but Bai Liang still put the rabbit head down, because something did feel off.

However, Chen Duling took the initiative to pick one up and try it, then nodded seriously, "It's actually pretty good~"

Now the rabbit is eating itself.

Bai Liang naturally felt no psychological pressure and just ate.

While he was gnawing on the rabbit head, Chen Duling next to him didn't join in. It seemed that she only took a bite to prevent Bai Liang from having any unnecessary psychological burden.

This girl is quite considerate.

She just sat there, resting her chin on her hand, watching Bai Liang eat.

Hmm. Watching a mukbang up close.

She laughed as she watched, exclaiming, "Wow, they're eating so deliciously!"
Why are you looking at me like that?

"Senior, you're kind of cute~" Chen Duling commented, resting her chin on her hand.

"Yeah~"

The word "cute" seems to be a rather neutral term when it comes to girls.

Everything can be lovely.

Men generally wouldn't comment on other men like that, unless it's a effeminate man.

Bai Liang wasn't surprised, because it wasn't the first time the girl had said that to him.

Sometimes he's quite cooperative.
To my shame, Bai Liang was also once a trap spirit.

When you get to know a girl well enough, it's easy for the two of you to start having intimate conversations when you're alone together, especially in a private space.

At times like this, even the most masculine and toughest men might be able to pick it up.

If you recorded that tone of voice, it would make any tough guy cower and die on the spot.

In short: disgusting~
Bai Liang felt something was off, since Chen Duling's words seemed to be an invitation for him to "get intimate."

But their relationship hadn't reached that level yet, so he couldn't really pull it off.

So, all they could do was gnaw on the rabbit head while innocently looking at the other person.

It's as if it's saying: You go first, let me think about it.

As a result, this preparation led to the premiere of "Ne Zha".

Yanjing.

Bai Liang, who had just gotten off the plane, looked at Da Pao and Xiao Qi, who both looked wary, and felt that there was something wrong with the two of them.

"What are you doing?"

"Brother, be careful, what if someone stabs you?"

Da Pao said he wasn't just nervous for no reason; he had no idea that being a celebrity was such a "high-risk" profession.
Just a few days ago, Simon Yam was stabbed while attending an event.

The video footage from the scene is quite clear; your hands are really covered in blood.
In fact, there have been cases of celebrities being attacked while attending events before.

For example, Liu Yifei was tackled to the ground at a movie press conference, and you could even hear a thud, so it felt like she fell really hard.

When Teacher He was performing in a play, a female fan rushed onto the stage and beat him up.

Han Xue was hugged by a shirtless man while attending an event, causing her to fall.

Li Yuchun was forcibly kissed by a male fan while recording a variety show. Yes, this is also true.

But stabbing someone directly with a knife is just too outrageous.

Following this incident, many celebrities increased their security measures at public events. Yang Zongwei's commercial performance stage was surrounded by security guards, and Zhang Zhe even wore a stab-proof vest to an event.
Of course, most people don't go that far, but increasing the number of security personnel and hiring more bodyguards is quite common.

Yanzi really wanted to get Bai Liang a few personal bodyguards, at least four or five, otherwise she would be quite worried. After all, given the ratio of one mentally ill person to many people, the probability of her little Bai Liang encountering a mentally ill person is definitely higher than that of others.

He has a lot of fans~
Bai Liang: It's okay, anyway, I'm not exactly normal either.

When he's also a "lunatic," why would he be afraid of other lunatics?

My condition is worse than yours.
It's not that he deliberately wanted to show off and didn't hire security; normally, when you attend events with a lot of people, there are security personnel on site, so there's no need to hire your own.

What can truly harm people is almost always a sudden attack.

Regular security measures are actually ineffective against this type of person. When Simon Yam was stabbed, there were a lot of security personnel on site, but they were of little use.

Bai Liang felt it would be better to kick the other person himself, or just run away.
Yanzi could accept this theory; it was much better than the idea that "as long as I'm also mentally ill, I'm not afraid of other mentally ill people."

But I still reminded Dapao and Xiaoqi, who have been with Bai Liang for a long time, to be more careful.

Yes. So these two got another raise.

Just as the three were walking out, Da Pao, who had sharp eyes and keen ears, suddenly reminded Bai Liang, "Brother, Lu Han is behind us."

"What a coincidence?"

Although Bai Liang responded, he didn't turn around to look, after all, the two of them were going to "duel" today.

The other party was probably also returning to Yanjing to attend the premiere of the movie, "Shanghai Fortress".

Since the two films were released at the same time, their premieres were naturally held around the same time as well.

So it's not unusual to run into each other at the airport.

Although Bai Liang didn't know why he had inexplicably "gone head-on" with Lu Han, he had only provided voice acting.

But that's what people say online, as if the two generations of top-tier celebrities are about to make a clean break.

Fans on both sides were quite enthusiastic about this, bringing up various bills, as if they wanted to settle all old and new grudges at once.

At first, Bai Liang's Kapibala fans were quite enthusiastic, since such an event was rare.

But after checking the bills, they just stood there pretending to be dead.

There are no new or old grudges~
It was entirely Bai Liang who unilaterally "bullied" them.
Kapibala's "criminal record" is too numerous to list.

However, he bullied quite a few top celebrities, and Lu Han was not particularly outstanding among them. In any case, compared to the great victim Yang Yang, he was definitely "beaten" less.

The main conflict between the two is actually quite complicated.

One of the biggest reasons why many Luhan fans dislike Bai Liang is that he stole Luhan's CP, Dilireba.

That sounds like utter nonsense. Show couples and drama couples are all couples; there's no question of fighting over them.
But that's the strange thing about the brains of fans.

These people believe that if Bai Liang hadn't stolen Dilireba from Lu Han, Lu Han wouldn't have officially announced his relationship with Guan Xiaotong, so he should take the blame.

Bai Liang: Reasonable.

No problem, bring the blame, I can handle it.

The atmosphere's already set like this, so let's fight!
Anyway, Lu Han is about to start his business, so let's just give him a ride, no need to thank me.

So even when I see Lu Han, I can still joke around with him and collect "friendship fees" from him.

But today, Bai Liang declared himself to be a heartless killer.

How can we chat together like this? It doesn't fit the atmosphere today.

After I beat the other person down, I'll make them treat me to a meal.

Plan passes.

However, Bai Liang did not expect that so many media outlets would be camped out at the airport today. He was completely surrounded as soon as he came out of the passage.

Seeing that Dapao and Xiaoqi were struggling, Bai Liang quickly said, "Lu Han is behind us, hurry up and block him, or he'll get away."

The effect was indeed very good; the media outlets immediately split up.

Lu Han: ? ? ?
Beast!
Of course, this trick is actually pretty useless.

Originally, the two, who were supposed to be on the same wavelength and wanted to pretend to be strangers, ended up together thanks to the media.

This is exactly what these media outlets, who thrive on chaos, wanted. Knowing that the two people's flights arrived in Yanjing around the same time, they wanted to see them together in the same frame.

As for why they were able to obtain the two people's flight information, do you even need to ask why?
The two, forced to stand together, looked at each other in bewilderment. Bai Liang even greeted Lu Han with a smile: "What a coincidence~ I actually ran into you here."

"Brother, stop pretending. We saw each other a long time ago. What should we do? These people don't want us to leave."

Bai Liang thought for a moment and said, "I'll teach you a trick: go and act like a big shot and yell at them."

Lu Han looked like he'd been ripped off: "Why don't you yell at them?!"

"I have never criticized the media."

"I only ever cursed them?" "I saw you cursing paparazzi online before, are you still pretending?"

"Who hasn't cursed paparazzi?"

"I really didn't curse them. Those paparazzi are actually quite pitiful. Sometimes when I run into them, I even think about giving them some money," Bai Liang said honestly.

Among the paparazzi who followed him, some of the faces he recognized seemed to be getting thinner by the day.

You can tell at a glance that he's not doing well.

Kapibala is kind-hearted and can't bear to see them so miserable, so he occasionally sends them food and drinks.

But those paparazzi were a bit ungrateful, saying they wouldn't let us humiliate them this way and that they were determined to get some footage of us!
Surrounded by the media and unable to leave, Bai Liang and Lu Han appeared to be forced to give interviews.

These media outlets are certainly quite direct.

What are your thoughts on this competition?

"I don't have any particular opinion, let's all cheer each other on," Lu Han said helplessly.

The media were clearly not satisfied with this perfunctory answer, but since Bai Liang hadn't spoken yet, they let Lu Han off the hook for the time being.

Bai Liang glanced at the time, wanting to finish quickly: "How about we keep it simple and make a bet?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Han felt a slight tingling sensation on the top of his head, and had a very bad premonition.

But I still mustered up the courage to ask, "What kind of bet?"

"How about we compare box office revenue?"

These words instantly got the media buzzing. Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely right, bro!
That's how you play!
Lu Han was also a bit helpless. These reporters were like girlfriends who had just finished their periods; they wouldn't stop until they were satisfied.

So he simply said, "How about the first day's box office? That'll be faster. How about we bet a meal?"

Tsk tsk, this guy is pretty smart~ His chances of losing on the first day of box office are actually much smaller.

And if this bet is made, his fans will definitely give it their full support.

Even if they lose, at least they'll have a great opening day box office, and who knows, it might even be a win-win situation.

However, Bai Liang felt that this was still not exciting enough. "No, food costs money. We are public figures, and bets cannot involve money."

Oh no! This guy's going to cause trouble!

Lu Han looked at Bai Liang warily: Dude, you're not going to say whoever loses has to run naked, are you? That's not a bet!
"So what should we bet on? Something a little healthier, okay?"

"How about we do something romantic? How about I kiss my girlfriend live on camera?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Han breathed a sigh of relief. Not bad, this guy wasn't too exaggerated, and he's actually quite good at creating buzz.

Wait a minute—something's not right!

Lu Han's eyes widened: "You have a girlfriend?"

The media's eyes lit up. Good heavens, could they really have caught such an explosive story?

Official announcement at the scene?

Bai Liang shrugged and said, "My mom has been nagging me about this for the past two days. I just made a bet with her about finding a girlfriend."

Everyone: Just how much do you enjoy making bets?!
In the end, Bai Liang still didn't reveal what kind of situation his girlfriend was in.

It has a Schrödinger-like feel to it.

But the topic is likely to be hyped up, which can be considered Bai Liang's "last ripple" for the character "饺" (jiao). After all, he didn't have time to help with the promotional tour, so he simply created an interesting topic.

The outcome between Bai Liang and Lu Han is not important. After Lu Han loses, everyone will still be talking about Bai Liang's girlfriend.

"Brother, the car that's supposed to pick us up hasn't arrived yet. It seems to be stuck in traffic."

"Get in my car, get in my car! I'll take you wherever you're going!" Upon hearing this, Lu Han became as eager as a badger jumping around in a melon patch.

Bai Liang would certainly not let down their kindness.

However, after getting into the car, Lu Han started asking, "If you lose, who will you officially announce your relationship with? Dilraba?"

Holy crap, buddy, you really dare to say that? Who loses?

Bai Liang looked at Lu Han with great interest, thinking to himself that he hadn't noticed Lu Han's inexplicable confidence before.
But he didn't discourage the other party, saying, "We'll talk about it later, what's the rush?"

If a meteorite really did hit Earth, and Bai Liang lost, he felt he should also be able to fulfill his bet.

I imagine quite a few girls will be eager to sign up.

Even after escorting Bai Liang all the way to his destination, Lu Han still couldn't get any information out of him.

I can only say it's a pity.

I'm so worried about what to do with my girlfriend!
After all, if his girlfriend Guan Xiaotong finds out about what happened at the airport today, she'll definitely keep asking him questions.

She's such a gossip.

Lu Han's enthusiasm is also to satisfy his girlfriend's desire to gossip.

But encountering such an unreliable guy as Bai Liang is quite frustrating.

Of course, there's another way. Defeat him!
We're forcing him to make it official~
To be honest, Lu Han wasn't that motivated before; he really wanted to start playing.

But right now, he really does want to defeat Bai Liang, not for the movie or his career, but for his girlfriend.
A very strong reason!
So before saying goodbye, he also made a harsh statement to Bai Liang:
"Wait until I beat you~"

Bai Liang: Good luck.

In fact, Lu Han's "confidence" is not entirely without reason.

Both "Shanghai Fortress" and "Ne Zha" had preview screenings a few days ago, with "Ne Zha" receiving only slightly better reviews.

Yes, the preview screenings of "Shanghai Fortress" actually received decent reviews.

Above average.

Many film critics spoke up for it online, saying that the special effects were close to the standards of international blockbusters.

Scenes such as the sinking of Shanghai, the giant mothership, and drone aerial combat were described as "shocking" and "spectacular," with some even comparing its climax to "The Wandering Earth."

Furthermore, with the battlefield set in Shanghai and incorporating Chinese elements such as the "Shanghai Cannon," it is seen as a breakthrough attempt by domestic science fiction in the war genre. Some viewers believe that this localized setting is innovative and gives them a sense of pride.

Even Lu Han's acting skills sparked discussion during the preview screenings, with some viewers believing that his performance exceeded expectations.
While it's unclear how this screening achieved its reputation, it certainly piqued the interest of many.

After all, "The Wandering Earth" truly opened the door to Chinese science fiction.
Many netizens said they would wait and see after the official release, and would be willing to go to the cinema to support the film if it was of average quality.

These sci-fi fans are even willing to set aside their "prejudice" against Lu Han.

But~
From a certain perspective, "The Wandering Earth" not only opened the door to Chinese science fiction, but also raised audience expectations.

If it's only slightly off, that's fine, but if it's significantly off, it's even a case of false advertising.
Tsk~
When Bai Liang arrived at the premiere of "Ne Zha", he certainly raised the profile of the premiere's guests, if not attracting widespread attention.

There's no way around it, the character "饺" (jiao) has a hook and eight connections.
Only the directors of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" and "Big Fish & Begonia" and other animators came to support him.

As for the common celebrities, they all rely on Enlight Media to find some people to support them.

For example, Chen Jianbing, Yao Dazui, and others.

Moreover, Enlight Media wasn't particularly good at this kind of thing to begin with; the most famous of the company's own artists were probably Liu Yan and Bao Beier.

Of course, there's also Xie Nan, but right now she's wholeheartedly devoted to being Wu Jing's good wife.

Liu Yan and Bao Beier didn't come today either, and it's unlikely that the two of them will appear on the same stage.

After all, there was a bridesmaid incident before, which caused quite a stir.

He was greeted and exchanged pleasantries along the way. When Bai Liang reached the front, he finally met the most important person of the day.

It's definitely not the character for "dumpling" (饺子); he "doesn't deserve" it.

Today, the most important person is, of course, Mama Bai.

What Weibo movie star, unparalleled top star, number one box office draw? Even when Bai Liang came in just now, he was the center of attention, almost everyone was staring at him, and the industry insiders who came to support him greeted him with smiles on their faces.
But in front of his own mother, he has only one identity.

My dear son.

"Handsome boy, you're late!"

Everyone was praising Bai Liang, but only Bai's mother immediately pointed out his "diva-like" nature.

"I was wrong, I was wrong~" Bai Liang didn't explain at all, and didn't mention that he and Lu Han had been harassed by the media for a long time. He just apologized and that was it.

His original intention was to cheer up his mother, but after so many years of "fighting," how could Bai's mother not know what he was thinking?

Let's get to the point.

"How's it going with your girlfriend? You should keep it in mind. Those girls are all pretty good; try to settle things down soon."

"Which one is currently the most popular among you?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

This clever way of shifting the blame left even Mrs. Bai somewhat speechless.

She likes them all. So what should we do?
And I just met another one, and I think she's a really well-behaved girl.

Bai Liang: As expected of the person who gave me life!

I fall in love with every girl I meet.

He had known for a long time that his condition was hereditary.
