Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 404: Prejudice in People's Hearts is a Mountain

In fact, Bai Liang had no experience in "competing" with his mother in urging her to date or get married.

After all, in his past life, the other person wasn't talking about this; instead, it was, "Handsome young man, how come you're married again?"

cough cough.

So where does the experience come from?
It could even be described as going from one extreme to another, two completely different situations.

But what remains the same is that familiar and gentle murmur.

Seeing that his mother was stumped, Bai Liang decided to quit while he was ahead and just let the matter drop for now.

But Mom said she was going to start cheating.

"It's you who's looking for a girlfriend, not me. I trust your judgment, and I'll like whoever you choose. If you just hurry up a bit, can you bring your girlfriend home for dinner before the end of this year?"

Hearing this, Bai Liang thought for a moment and decided to give her a big scare.

He pretended to be serious and said, "Mom, actually I like men."

However, Mrs. Bai was not fooled at all. "Don't believe me! I've always loved to talk nonsense since I was little."

Besides, she's not blind to how close those girls are to her son.

But she enjoyed outsmarting her son, so she held out her hand: "Where's the evidence? Show me!"

Bai Liang immediately scratched his head, thinking to himself, "Should I find a good buddy to cover for me?"
Huang Jingyu is quite suitable. He acted in "Addicted," so he has a "previous record."

Even now, there are still a bunch of female fans who ship him with every "suitable man" who appears around him.

Any man who appears in the same frame as him risks being shipped by him.

This made Bai Liang less willing to meet him for meals or gatherings.

Dude, are you crazy?! Anyone who hangs out with you automatically becomes gay.
Who can stand this?
Let's keep in touch online; there's no need to meet in person.

But you can only support a gay man for a short time.

It's time to let this guy out for a spin!
So Bai Liang started scrolling through the other person's WeChat Moments, then handed it to his mother, "Hey, it's him. How about we arrange for you two to meet?"

After glancing at him, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Does this young man know that you're making up stories about him like this?"

“It’s okay, he can’t beat me,” Bai Liang said casually.

Mrs. Bai: Oh dear~ You admitted it yourself~
broken!

This statement inadvertently gave him away, and Bai Liang was immediately unable to continue his rambling.

So all I could do was enjoy a loving "ear massage".

I can't hold it in anymore, family!
Zhang Ruonan was really enduring it, to the point that her body was trembling. Anyone who didn't know better would think that someone had secretly stuffed something into her.

But she was really about to burst out laughing; how could the interaction between this mother and son be so interesting?

She hasn't even seen the movie yet, but she already feels that this trip was definitely worthwhile.

It's quite normal for her to be here; she's a female artist heavily promoted by Enlight Media.

Of course, Zhang Ruonan isn't famous yet, and the meme "Zhang Ruonan is good" doesn't exist.

So her main purpose in coming here wasn't to show support, and she herself didn't even know why she was asked to come at first.

The agent simply said: "You'll see when you get there."

So I arrived in a daze, and then I found that I was in a good spot near the front, next to a very pretty and somewhat familiar older woman.

It could be said that before Bai Liang arrived, Zhang Ruonan was keeping his mother company.

It was only after he appeared that Zhang Ruonan realized why this older sister/auntie looked somewhat familiar.

Because she had a "rumored romance" with Bai Liang!

She is the only woman who has been photographed by paparazzi walking arm in arm with Bai Liang.

"Teacher Bai, we meet again."

After struggling to suppress her laughter for a while, Zhang Ruonan was finally noticed by Bai Liang, and then she greeted him generously.

"Long time no see." Bai Liang nodded to her, then subconsciously looked at his mother with a strange expression: Mom, you like this too?
Mrs. Bai was a little embarrassed. Well, what could she do? These girls were all so beautiful and had such gentle, pleasant voices; it was hard for her not to like them.

To date, she has not encountered a single young female celebrity that she finds disliked.

They are all very likable and have great personalities.

This is almost making Bai's mother have a filter on the entertainment industry; she truly falls in love with every one she sees.

Bai Liang: That won't do~ I'm afraid she'll slap me in front of my uncle and then turn around and blame me.

I can almost picture it; I can almost feel her covering her face and pitifully calling out "Uncle."

"Young man, this girl seems to admire you quite a bit, and she's from Wenzhou, where people traditionally marry young."

Listening to his mother hushed herself as she "explained" the information she had gathered, Bai Liang suppressed a laugh and then sealed the victory with a single sentence.

"She has a younger brother."

This element doesn't matter to Bai Liang, but it's extremely useful for dealing with parents.

Especially now, his mother is increasingly nagging him to date and get married.

Does she have a younger brother named Ruonan Ruonan?

Preferring sons to daughters!

However, Bai's mother did not ignore the girl because of this. Instead, she abandoned Bai Liang and turned to chat with the girl.

The tone was so gentle that it made Zhang Ruonan feel flattered and overwhelmed.

She couldn't help but steal a few glances at Bai Liang, wondering if it was because he had said something that praised her?

Unfortunately, she failed to win the lead role in "Better Days".

The competition for that stuff is fierce; everyone's got a powerful background, or they're either incredibly intelligent and ruthless like Chen Duling who suddenly unleashes their full potential.
Zhang Ruonan was among the group that was eliminated early and didn't make it to the finals.

After the young lady helped distract her mother, Bai Liang also went to find the character "Jiao" and amused himself for a while.

This guy didn't seem that nervous today; it seems his work gave him enough confidence!
However, Bai Liang was completely baffled by the word "dumpling" in his first sentence: "I've staked my happiness and career for the rest of my life on this, it all depends on whether you can pull it off."

"what?"

"It's about time it became a trending topic."

Bai Liang took out his phone and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was already third on the trending topics list, and he estimated that it would become number one in a little while.

Actually, netizens weren't that concerned about the opening day box office of Bai Liang and Lu Han's movie, especially since Bai Liang was just a voice actor.

But the bet they made has piqued the interest of netizens.

Lu Han's story, which was already spoiled, is fine, but the key is Bai Liang's side.

"Girlfriend?! What does the fortune teller mean by that? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"I highly suspect this guy is just messing with the reporters. Believe me, a guy who dares to slap a lion and climb Mount Everest would definitely dare to make this kind of joke. This guy even said before that his girlfriend is all his fans."

"Holy crap, when did he say that? I'm a fan of his! How come I didn't know?"

“He said it once offline. When asked which of Dilraba and Nezha was his girlfriend, he said his girlfriend was the collection of fans. It was just something he said offhand.”

“我感觉这次有点真啊！到底是谁？下注了下注了~那札1赔1.1，热芭1赔1.2，李鈊1赔3，大恬恬1赔2”

"The master is playing the fish again. He's definitely a seasoned fishing pro. I didn't expect there to be so many female fans among his followers. I just enjoy watching him act."

"Bai Liang's good point is that his strength is far ahead of other young idols, but his bad point is that he is also a young idol. If he were more ordinary-looking, he could have taken the route of a serious actor."

"I'm already 27, so there's nothing wrong with having a crush on someone. Anyway, I'm not a girlfriend fan."

"If it's Da Xian, even if he makes an official announcement, I don't think he'll lose fans like Lu Han did. His fan base is quite diverse; just those college students fulfilling their vows are enough to support him."

"What, are we fishermen not worthy?"

"What, are movie fans not worthy?"

"What, are outdoor enthusiasts not qualified?"

"What, are mountain climbing enthusiasts not qualified?"

"I can see that now, you're all just like the legendary master, damn well multi-talented!"

"You guys actually believed that Gou Ri was testing us? How could he possibly lose to Lu Han? Just wait and see Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong kissing on live stream."

Yanzi: The fan feedback is pretty good~
The discussion was heated, but there weren't many threats of unfollowing. No wonder this fan group is gradually being influenced by Kapibala! They're quite different from other flashy and pretentious fandoms.
Although she didn't know what kind of ingenious ideas her little brother was coming up with, Yanzi felt that there was something special about what he was doing.

This is a good way to see how the fans react, which is better than Luhan and Han Han directly making an official announcement and causing a fan uproar.

In fact, the most comprehensive public relations plan that Yanzi had always prepared was for the day when Bai Liang's "relationship would be exposed".

Moreover, she made many sets, so every girl had one.

She even has an extreme scenario plan of exposing more than one person at the same time, oh right, there's also a "breakup advice plan".

What I mean is, if you're really "forced" to officially announce your relationship, dating for six months as a formality is enough.

When necessary, she can play the bad guy, appealing to emotions and reason, even resorting to veiled threats.
After all, some birds can't be caged.
Of course, aside from those fans who genuinely don't care whether Bai Liang is in a relationship or not, quite a few female fans have expressed: absolutely not.

This is quite normal. After all, some celebrities in their forties date and still get fans who turn against them. For example, Lin Junjie.

As long as the main fan groups don't "riot," it means that this kind of thing won't shake Bai Liang's core support.

This put Yanzi's mind at ease a little.

Only slightly, because there was another, more important group she hadn't had time to care about yet.
Then she clicked on the group for "Bai Liang's Global Rich Women Fan Club".

Sure enough, the place exploded!
A group of people are interrogating Da Tiantian.

She hasn't been able to become the group leader yet, and her "rebellion" plan is clearly not going smoothly.

However, she was already an administrator in the group, and she was wearing a hat, but unfortunately, it was green.

Da Tian Tian was clearly bewildered: Huh? He's going to officially announce his relationship? He didn't even discuss it with me!
The group "rioted" because of Da Tiantian's reaction; the rich and beautiful girls really thought that Da Tiantian was going to officially announce her relationship with Bai Liang.

Fortunately, Yanzi appeared in time and told them that Da Tiantian was just making things up and that there was no such thing, and that Bai Liang was just talking nonsense.

Rich, beautiful, and successful women: "Nothing to report."

Da Tiantian retorted: I can only imagine that he was just talking nonsense, which means we're a match made in heaven!
Looking at Da Tiantian arguing with someone in the group again, Yanzi always had a feeling that she would be confronted offline sooner or later.

I hope he's alright.

At the premiere of "Ne Zha", Jiaozi looked at the trending topics online and his gaze towards Bai Liang was different.

Blanch!
The pressure suddenly increased!
There is a dog!

"If our movie doesn't beat the box office on opening day, you really have to..."

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond; how could I possibly be just talking nonsense?"

"You're putting a lot of pressure on me."

Bai Liang, who loves playing games and enjoys feeling stressed, smiled after hearing this: "What else? I'm here to put some pressure on you."

Just as the character "饺" (jiaozi, meaning dumpling) was looking gloomy, a mother's loving call came from not far away: "Little handsome boy~ come here for a moment."

The character for "dumpling" (饺子) means: Whew~ Someone's coming to deal with you.

Clearly, Bai's mother also saw the trending topic!
Before calling Bai Liang over, she and Zhang Ruonan had spent a long time studying the trending topic and finally found out what good thing their son had done.

However, she didn't blame Bai Liang for messing around. Instead, she asked curiously, "Can that kid named Lu Han win?"

Obviously, everyone else was easy to talk to, but Bai Liang's biological mother betrayed him.

Even though "Ne Zha" is a huge hit and she can make a lot of money, she really hopes that the young man next door can beat her son just once.

Before Bai Liang could answer, Zhang Ruonan interrupted, "Auntie, it's guaranteed to lose."

"why?"

"Yes, because Brother Liang has never lost."

Bai Liang couldn't help but shudder. What kind of weird address is "Brother Liang"? Wasn't he just calling me Teacher Bai?
I feel like this way of addressing someone makes us feel a little too close.

However, the way that pretty young girl looked at him with such admiration was quite endearing.

"That's not necessarily true, what if? Handsome, what are you going to do if you really lose?"

"Hurry up and find a girlfriend, and kiss her," Bai Liang said honestly.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I quite like the one next to you."

Bai Liang returned the favor, since the young lady had been praising him for so long, so he decided to give her some emotional support in return.

The good news is that he did provide positive emotional value, which people quite liked.

The bad news is that it was too enjoyable, and the emotional value it provided seemed to be excessive, to the point of overflowing.

And just like that, he became famous overnight.

Now that's settled. Besides Bai's mother "betraying" and supporting Lu Han, Zhang Ruonan is also secretly supporting him in her heart.

There was no other way but to support him, since Bai Liang had already said that.

Unfortunately, Lu Han isn't Ultraman Tiga, so he can't receive these "lights".

On the contrary, in some ways, Bai Liang is more like Ultraman Tiga, a true conceptual god.

What, you said there's no light? You just said the word "light," right?

Just like that~
With a deafening roar in the sky, Nezha makes his dazzling debut!

Many people's first reaction after seeing the poster and trailer was: Nezha is too ugly.

It's unrealistic to expect everyone to accept this radically different version of Nezha's appearance, since the previous animated Nezha characters were all sunny and adorable, as seen in "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King" and "The Legend of Nezha".

However, it's perfectly fine to think it's ugly, because this movie is about breaking down prejudices.

The element of prejudice is very common in "Ne Zha," including Shen Gongbao's line:
"Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can't move it."

At the beginning of the film, Taiyi Zhenren delivers a monologue in a Sichuan accent: "Whether people can change their fate, I don't know. I only know that not accepting fate is Nezha's fate."

It is precisely because of this setting that there are no protagonists or antagonists in the conventional sense in the film, and the law of good versus evil is no longer replicated. The characters are vivid and three-dimensional, becoming flesh and blood.

Whether it's Nezha and Ao Bing, or Taiyi and Shen Gongbao, including the implied Heavenly Court and Dragon Clan, each character or faction is not simply a battle between good and evil; each person has a story beyond their outward appearance.

In the movie, when Nezha was disliked by everyone and even dogs, he became a monster that struck fear into the hearts of all people at the age of three.

Sitting next to Bai Liang, Bai's mother suddenly murmured a sigh:
"You looked a lot like him when you were little!"

Hearing this, Bai Liang was taken aback.

Really? Hmm, it seems so.

To this day, he has been quite restrained and has not embraced the so-called ultimate freedom.

Because that would be a disaster for many people!

Therefore, in many unseen places, Bai Liang actually imposed a lot of constraints on himself.

But that was after I gradually became sensible. What about before I became sensible?
The fact that someone urinated on and killed another person's money tree was probably just a minor incident; Bai Liang even vaguely remembered some outrageous scenes.

The most memorable experience was when I was a child, I went on a trip with human traffickers.

Yes, going on a trip with human traffickers.

After all, his parents were quite busy at the time, but fortunately, human traffickers "lent a helping hand".

Unfortunately, happiness is only for Bai Liang; what's left for human traffickers is an endless ordeal.

He probably thought it was quite fun at the time, but the fact that those human traffickers couldn't fully surrender themselves was definitely much worse than the bad guys in "Home Alone".

When Bai Liang was still a tiny baby, he was, in a sense, in a state of ultimate freedom, except for being constrained by his small body.

This can even touch upon the question of whether human nature is inherently evil or good.

But very young children don't actually have that concept at all; they only know whether they're happy or not.

After trying to recall something, Bai Liang touched his nose with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Yes, it's embarrassing to have my mom talk about embarrassing things from when I was little.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough to lower his voice and say, "I'm way better looking than him, aren't I?"

Mother Bai touched her son's hand, looked at the ugly Nezha on the screen, and then looked at her son.

He chuckled to himself and then nodded.

What a magical orb!
Midnight, 15,000 words, mwah!

Asking for a monthly ticket.
