Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 408 Breaking Through the Ceiling of "Charm Value"

After watching Lu Han's live stream, Bai Liang felt that Chen Duling was acting strangely.

There's no need to be overly perceptive, because her abnormality is too obvious; her game level has plummeted.

Even Q can be misinterpreted.
This directly led to the two players losing several games in a row while duo queuing, resulting in a significant drop in their rank.

"Is his movie really that powerful? It even has the effect of helping people quit internet addiction?" Bai Liang couldn't help but exclaim.

I never expected that "Shanghai Fortress" would have such a positive effect.

Chen Duling glanced at him silently, thinking to herself: This kind of aftereffect isn't just a movie.
She took a sip of water somewhat awkwardly, bit her lip, and looked at Bai Liang, "Senior, if you lost the bet, would you do what he did?"

Bai Liang felt like he had answered this question more than once.

The girls seemed to really enjoy asking questions.

"A real man keeps his word, otherwise who will want to bet with me in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Duling nodded, but she did not ask Bai Liang how he intended to "keep his word."

Instead, he said, "Does senior really like making bets? Why don't we make a bet too?"

"Hey~" Bai Liang's interest was instantly piqued. "What do you want to bet on?"

Chen Duling didn't say anything, but simply placed her hand on Bai Liang's thigh.

Bai Liang couldn't help but look down at her. He didn't know why, but just looking at her hand, he felt that the girl was a little uneasy.

However, when he looked up at Chen Duling's face, he almost burst out laughing.

A face full of righteousness!
Her actions seemed like she was flirting with or seducing a man, but looking at her face, it felt like she was solving a math problem.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Bai Liang couldn't help but ask, "And then?"

"Senior, why aren't you reacting at all?"

"Um, how should I react?" Bai Liang was a little embarrassed, mainly because he really didn't understand what kind of tricks this girl was trying to play.

its not right!
Chen Duling felt like something was wrong.

During filming, Bai Liang touched her thigh, and just a gentle rub made her whole body tense up. If he moved a little higher, she would start to breathe rapidly.

She can still remember that feeling to this day, like an itch that rose from the bottom of her heart, giving her goosebumps.

But this tactic seemed to have no effect on Bai Liang himself.

Chen Dulin was struck by his strong thigh muscles, which gave him a sense of power.

A strange thought popped into my head: Could this kick me to death?
Driven by this whimsical idea, she became less nervous, and her small hand gradually moved upwards along the muscle lines of Bai Liang's leg.
At this moment, Chen Duling's expression resembled that of a female medical student dissecting a mouse with a scalpel.

The way she looked at Bai Liang seemed to have gained a touch of scientific research spirit.

Summer is a very good season.

Because they were wearing too little clothing.

Intimate contact between men and women has become much easier.

If it were winter, Chen Duling wouldn't be facing Bai Liang wearing the loose shorts he's wearing now, but rather thermal underwear under thermal underwear, and thermal underwear under thermal underwear.
woolen pants?

Bai Liang winced in pain, "Dudu, you're pulling on the hair on my leg."

"sorry!"

"Touch me gently."

“Oh, okay~” Chen Duling replied obediently.

But after answering, she finally realized something was wrong, and her face turned bright red.

At this point, Bai Liang finally spoke again, "Is this the bet you wanted to make with me?"

With one person teaching diligently and the other learning earnestly, their learning progress naturally advances by leaps and bounds.

Bai Liang really liked the expression on the other person's face.

That unusually serious demeanor didn't seem like he was doing something strange at all; it was more like he was solving a math problem.

His face was taut, his gaze unwavering.
Isn't that a kind of contrast in itself?
But there's one minor issue: she got a little too close.

Wash your face, wash your hands, and wash your hair.

Chen Duling stayed in the bathroom of the RV for more than half a day.

It took so long that Bai Liang couldn't help but go check on her twice, mainly because he was worried she might faint inside.
But as soon as she came out of the bathroom, she immediately hopped away like a little rabbit.

It sped out of the RV at lightning speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Bai Liang: As expected, they only care about taking off and not landing.
The other person had been washing for too long; he had already prepared himself again.

As a result, the girl flirted with him and then ran away, completely disregarding his "life or death".

However, the next day, when the two filmed another kissing scene, Chen Duling's performance once again amazed the director.

Impressive acting skills!

When she filmed that first intimate scene, she seemed so awkward and scared.

At this point, the male and female leads' relationship was clearly stronger, and Chen Duling was able to handle it perfectly.
That kind of intimate and ambiguous contact, but not quite... you know... that state of being, is handled so perfectly!
Praise her lavishly!

So the question is, how did she do it? Was she really an acting prodigy who went unnoticed before?

Chen Duling remained silent, but washed her hands thoroughly again during lunchtime.
This time she's made even greater progress; she's now able to seize the timing and dodge in time.

So all you need to do is wash your hands.

That said, in the filming plan, Bai Liang and Chen Duling actually had several kissing scenes and intimate scenes.

But it's hard to say how much of that stuff will actually make it into the final cut.

The subject matter is already quite sensitive, and the female lead is a high school student, so I feel that some of the intimate scenes might be a bit too much.

But the production team doesn't care about that; whether it passes censorship is a matter for later. Right now, they just need to film what needs to be filmed.

You two, get really intimate!
-
By August, filming for "Better Days" was already more than halfway complete.

After being released for several days and beginning to suppress all its competitors, "Ne Zha" finally met its match.

"The Bravest" starring Huang Xiaoming.

This is a prime example of a film where the subject matter itself is more important than the movie itself. It has many problems, but its box office performance is indeed quite good.

It actually managed to withstand the pressure from "Ne Zha" and achieve a box office of over 100 million yuan on its opening day.

It's important to understand that after Nezha's screenings became more prominent and its popularity exploded, other movies were basically forced to shrink back, almost replicating the success of Wolf Warrior 2.

Huang Xiaoming is indeed amazing; it seems like he can "force a 50/50" match with anyone.

Its reputation fluctuates, but it manages to stand firm.

Of course, facing a monster like "Nezha," Xiaoming was also feeling bitter~
Nowadays, patriotic films are one of the most popular trends, but why does he have to face a monster-like opponent right away?

And which bastard actually managed to pin a dubbed movie on Bai Liang?
Isn't this harmful?!

This thing was already powerful enough, but then Bai Liang added his own boost. It feels like it filled the last missing piece: celebrity buzz.

And it's the one with the highest traffic!
A contestant with a personality like "Dumpling" is clearly not the type to create drama or generate entertainment.

So far, there's only one joke about "Shen Gongbao's special effects artist".

Unlike Guo Fan, who made quite a stir just by using the name "cyber succubus".

The various behind-the-scenes stories, how he "extorted" money from all the contestants, and how he made sure everyone who came had to give him a share, plus the most important part: "getting something for nothing"—all of these behind-the-scenes tidbits are enough to make the audience laugh.

He was still quite far behind Guo Fan in terms of writing dumplings, but fortunately Bai Liang filled in the gaps for him.

Look, Huang Xiaoming is out there doing a promotional tour today, full of confidence, ready to roll up his sleeves and have a good run with "Nezha".

As soon as the roadshow ended, the assistant quietly handed me the phone.
"What's wrong?" Huang Xiaoming asked in surprise.

Hearing the words "The story behind Nezha," his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the trending topics at that moment were filled with the story of how the character "饺" (jiao) tricked Bai's mother.
This wasn't a deliberate publicity stunt; it was just an accidental slip of the tongue.

Bai's mother was initially happy to accompany Jiaozi on her promotional tour, but she wasn't a veteran in the entertainment industry, so she just answered whatever the reporters asked her.

Initially, the media hadn't actually considered this investment opportunity.

They wanted to learn more about her son from Mrs. Bai, especially about his love life.

It's hard to get Bai Liang to talk, but if you can make his mother happy, maybe that older sister will be so pleased that she'll reveal who her "daughter-in-law" is!
However, the "daughter-in-law" didn't ask the question, but she inadvertently raised an even more explosive topic.

After someone noticed something was wrong, they immediately investigated the matter in depth.

"Goodness, the case is finally solved! I was wondering why the immortal was so supportive of promoting 'Nezha'. Here's the reason."

"As a son, I really have to give my full support to the projects and companies my mom invests in. I used to think he was just doing charity work."

"This guy, Jiaozi, isn't much better than Guo Fan. At least Guo Fan directly fooled Bai Liang himself. He's even worse than Guo Fan. He first fooled Bai Liang's mother and went through such a long detour. He's really something else."

"Good, good, good. After cyber succubus, anime succubus has appeared."

"Mama Bai has struck it rich this time! Maoyan predicts that 'Ne Zha' will gross almost 5 billion yuan. She's made a killing!"

“It’s me, your mother-in-law. I’m a very traditional girl and I’m willing to be a concubine.”

"Let me tell you a scary story. It looks like 'Ne Zha' will definitely gross 5 billion yuan, which will make it the third highest-grossing film in Chinese film history. Add 'Wolf Warrior 2' and 'The Wandering Earth,' and the top three highest-grossing films in Chinese film history, and Da Xian is taking a cut of all of them?!"

"Holy crap! These three movies combined probably gross 18 or 19 billion, right? How much of that will the big shot get?!"

"Nezha has nothing to do with the immortals; it's his mother who made the money."

"Fun fact: the 'Master' is his mother's biological son, and he's an only child. So what's the difference between this and him personally profiting?!"

"."

The exposure of this incident had an even greater impact than the previous bet between Bai Liang and Lu Han.

It's like it's piggybacking on the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Wandering Earth." Even though "Ne Zha" only has the potential to reach that level of box office, it hasn't actually reached 2 billion yet, but it's already enjoying the treatment of a 5-6 billion box office movie.

This can be considered a wave of early loans.

The level of attention this kind of phenomenal movie receives is exaggerated.

Sure enough, Bai Liang felt an inexplicable heat while filming on set.
It wasn't that the young lady was looking at him with intense gaze, but rather a strange kind of gaze coming from all directions.

At first, he felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Until Zhou Ye, the girl, ran over with her eyes wide open, holding her phone, and asked, "Brother, how much money do you have?"

The question seemed a bit odd, but Bai Liang answered honestly: "I have about a thousand yuan in cash in my pocket, a WeChat balance of over ten thousand yuan, and money in the bank card I've linked to it."

"You don't need to go into so much detail."

Chen Duling quickly interrupted Bai Liang's "big reveal of his family's wealth".

Zhou Ye quickly waved his hand, "I saw it online, people saying you can make billions from three movies. Is that true?!"

"Huh? Really?" Bai Liang asked, somewhat surprised.

His reaction left the two girls speechless. How did it turn into you asking us?
At this moment, Chen Duling also glanced at Zhou Ye's phone, knew what she was asking, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise.

The way she looked at Bai Liang when she turned her head again was somewhat different.

money!

There's definitely something to this story.

Bai Liang didn't really care about this thing; he only knew that he had plenty of money to spend.

But without a doubt, this thing can directly boost a person's "charm" in some ways.

Otherwise, why would so many people say that Jack Ma was handsome during the years when his reputation was at its peak?
When this bonus is applied to a handsome guy like Bai Liang, the most direct effect is that, if charm had a numerical value, his value, which was already close to full, will experience another surge.

It broke through the upper limit!
She already had many halos, and now another one is added~
It was golden and exuded the fragrance of money.

The three women looked at each other for a while, and then at Bai Liang, who seemed just as confused and curious as they were, the two girls were a little lost.

What's going on here?

Bai Liang: Yeah, what's going on?
Chen Duling was quicker to think. After organizing her thoughts, she asked, "Senior, you get a share of the profits from all three of these movies, right?"

“No.” Bai Liang shook his head decisively. “Nezha has absolutely nothing to do with me. I’m just doing this for nothing.”

"I read online that your mother has investments."

Bai Liang chuckled: "I stopped asking my mom for money when I was nine years old."

"Really? How did they do that?" Zhou Ye couldn't help but ask, digressing from the topic.

As soon as he said that, Chen Duling slapped him on the shoulder, saying, "That's not important, we'll talk about it later."

"Is everything said online true?"

"Let me see"

Bai Liang took Zhou Ye's phone, then his hand trembled, and somehow he accidentally opened the photo album.
Upon closer inspection, wow, they were all selfies.

Some of the photos show the women dressed very scantily, seemingly in swimsuits.
"Ah! Don't look!"

"I'm sorry~"

Bai Liang promptly switched to Weibo and started reading what they were saying.

However, the super brain started working at its own pace, looking at the photos while recalling the ones from before.

She has such a good memory; she can remember everything at a glance and savor it slowly in her heart.

"Well, you're half telling the truth and half lying. There's no way it's three or four billion. It's like you're making all the money from the movie go to me. Even with my mom's share, it's not that exaggerated."

Honest Kapibala, debunking rumors online.

"It doesn't mean that much, how much is it?"

"It should be in the tens of figures, I'm guessing. But the revenue sharing from movie box office and some peripheral revenue is actually very slow. For example, the money from 'The Wandering Earth' hasn't even started to be distributed yet, and the money from 'Wolf Warrior 2' may not have been fully distributed yet."

Ten digits!
Zhou Ye was already sitting there, ready to count on her fingers, but she couldn't quite grasp how much a ten-digit number was.

Fortunately, Chen Duling was sitting next to him and immediately gave the answer: "It's at least one billion."

"Wow, that's a lot of money!" Zhou Ye exclaimed in shock.

Even for celebrities with high incomes, such extravagant earnings are truly astonishing.

She didn't ask for specific numbers. She wasn't some clueless fool; why would she ask such detailed questions? That would just be annoying.
"Money doesn't really matter, I'm not interested in money," Bai Liang casually quoted Jack Ma.

However, both girls believed it, since Bai Liang didn't seem like the type to be particularly wealthy.

He ate those cheap local delicacies with more relish than anyone else.

Zhou Ye, however, was quick-witted and came up with a very clever angle: "Hey, the money my brother makes from movie revenue sharing is enough to help Fan Bingbing pay her fines."

Bai Liang gave her a thumbs up, "Great idea~ But she didn't borrow money from me, so she probably doesn't need my help."

"Don't say things like that, it wouldn't be good if someone heard you," Chen Duling reminded her.

Zhou Ye looked completely innocent: "I definitely won't tell anyone."

At that moment, the two girls exchanged a glance and suddenly thought of something else.

This is just the cost of three movies, and it doesn't even include "How Long Will I Love U".

Moreover, Bai Liang has more than just movies!

This sudden controversy surrounding Bai Liang's net worth has clearly affected more than just the two girls on the set.

The "charm value" has broken through the ceiling and is beginning to officially show its power!
