Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 415 Don't panic, I'm here.
Although "The Bravest" was previously criticized by "Ne Zha", and many marketing accounts used Bai Liang to criticize Huang Xiaoming, the two should have felt a little awkward meeting.

This is something that both Bai Liang and Huang Xiaoming are somewhat worried about.

I was afraid of embarrassing the other person.

As for the two individuals themselves, Bai Liang certainly won't feel embarrassed, since he wasn't the one who orchestrated this kind of comparison and marketing.

Xiao Ming needs to reflect on who's trying to get him.
As for Huang Xiaoming: If you're not embarrassed, then I'm not embarrassed.

He's been exposed for his crimes more than once or twice since his debut; life is a cycle, after all.

The cycle that belongs exclusively to Huang Xiaoming is:
Inflated ego leads to greasiness; greasiness attracts criticism; criticism leads to isolation; isolation leads to clarity; clarity leads to good reputation; good reputation leads to inflated ego.
At this stage, he has just been thoroughly beaten up by someone using Bai Liang, and after a period of self-isolation, he is now showing signs of feeling refreshed.

He seems to have lost a bit of weight. He really is quite handsome!
No wonder he was the one who got into film school even while on crutches!

Big Baby seemed quite interested in chatting with Bai Liang today, but after glancing at Sister Meng next to her with her "scheming bad woman" look, she suppressed her enthusiasm.

In the end, after a simple greeting, he got up and went to chat with someone else.

Huang Xiaoming, however, did not leave. Instead, he continued to exchange a few pleasantries with Bai Liang and even made a few self-deprecating remarks.

It was as if they wanted to address the issue of people using Bai Liang to smear him online.

He said he was under a lot of pressure and had to lose weight to save his looks, and asked Bai Liang to go easy on them in the future, to leave them old guys some room to live.

Of course, it was all said in a joking tone, and the atmosphere of the chat was quite good.

Even Sister Meng couldn't help but get involved, thinking that Brother Xiaoming was a really nice guy!
At the end, Huang Xiaoming also mentioned to Bai Liang that he owed him a favor and said that he should definitely ask him for help in the future, blah blah blah.

But after racking his brains for a long time, Bai Liang still couldn't recall what favor Huang Xiaoming owed him.

Huang glanced at Sister Meng, but didn't explain everything completely.

I only mentioned Running Man briefly.

Bai Liang: Aww~
There's no room for sentimentality in this matter; Dilraba herself didn't want to stay on Running Man at the time.

However, it seems that Huang Xiaoming still attributed the credit to Bai Liang, since they had talked on the phone about this matter before.

That's how human relationships develop.

Bai Liang felt he now understood why his friend made some strange films. They were all to repay "favors," right?
The most crucial question is, can this really be considered something he owes?

These two are probably about to get divorced.
"Little hedgehog, there's something strange on your face. What's wrong?"

"Something's not right with this couple," Bai Liang said, rubbing his chin.

"What's wrong? I thought Brother Ming's attitude was very good," Sister Meng said, looking confused.

"It's not that they're acting strangely towards me, it's just that something's not right between them. How about we make a bet? I reckon they'll get divorced within the next two years."

Bai Liang already knew a lot about the marital breakdowns of celebrity couples in the entertainment industry from Da Mimi.

From deciding to divorce to the official announcement, there is actually a relatively long process.

Whether it's dividing the assets, determining child custody, or sorting out the entanglements in their business relationships, all of these will take a considerable amount of time to process.

It's normal for things to drag on for a year or two, or even longer.

For example, waiting for an endorsement deal to expire, or something like that.

To put it simply, Xiao Lu got her hair done at the end of 17, but she and Jia Nailiang still haven't officially announced their divorce.

It's been almost two years. Anyone who didn't know better would think Jia Nailiang had just put up with it.

You can get a general idea of ​​what the process is like for celebrity couples just by looking at these two.

After all, the whole country knows that it has turned green, so it can be considered as providing everyone with a time reference.

Even though the whole country knows that the relationship has been turned green, it still took so long.

The "cooling-off period" for divorce in the entertainment industry is much longer than the one month stipulated by the state.

When Sister Meng heard the word "divorce," her mouth dropped open in surprise, but thankfully she managed to cover it with her hand in time.

But she was quite clever today: "I'm not betting with you. Nobody bets they can beat you."

"Huh? How did you know that?" Bai Liang asked in surprise.

Sister Meng had a smug look on her face and waved her hand: "I knew it, I'm very smart!"

However, she was very curious about how Bai Liang had figured it out.

"Actually, it's quite simple. From the moment they entered until now, these two haven't had any physical contact whatsoever, barely even exchanging glances. And there aren't many media outlets around yet. Look at you."

Sister Meng: Me? What happened to me?
She looked down and realized that she had unintentionally put her hand on Bai Liang's leg.

Moreover, she subconsciously leaned towards him, unintentionally and frantically getting closer, having long since crossed the safe distance between men and women.

The key point is that she herself didn't feel anything at all, and even thought it was perfectly normal.

"No wonder they were looking at me strangely just now," Sister Meng said belatedly.

However, the topic of marriage and divorce unintentionally brought up some painful memories for her.

When she was twenty, marriage seemed so far away to her, and she even subconsciously avoided it.

But as I get older, even though I'm not that old—only 24 this year by Chinese reckoning—I've started to "reminisce about the past."

Ah! That was my lost youth.
If youth had a color, it would be the color of lush green grass covering the ground.

So she couldn't help but keep turning back to take a couple of bites.

As time went on, her regret actually increased.

I really want to say to Bai Liang: Little Hedgehog, does what you said when I was twenty still hold true now?

But she was afraid that if she spoke up, she wouldn't even have a chance to go back to her old flame.

Seeing that Sister Meng suddenly looked a little pitiful, Bai Liang kindly asked her what was wrong.

Hearing such concern, Sister Meng felt a warmth in her heart and instinctively thought, "Give it a shot!"
"I"

I had barely uttered the first word when the "flight attendants" arrived.

The two leading the group had a very clear objective: they led their team directly towards Bai Liang.

Seeing Li Xin and Zhang Tianai getting closer, Sister Meng's mind went blank for a moment, and she quickly changed her words: "I'll be waiting for you on the set of 'Qing Ping Le'. You'd better come early."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely go. When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Bai Liang spoke with great confidence, which warmed Sister Meng's heart.

That's right! The little hedgehog always keeps its word!

So what about the earliest one?

Sister Meng's eyes widened, her gaze seemingly filled with a thirst for knowledge.

But her sexy lips wouldn't listen to her~
She finally gave up when Li Xin and the others arrived.

At the same time, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Tianbao came to mind.

They had a wedding of the century when they got married, which made many girls extremely envious.

But now they've become like strangers, if Bai Liang's analysis is correct.

So, why is that?

The bitterness of love is something only those who have experienced it truly understand.
But Sister Meng felt like she hadn't enjoyed the sweetness of love much yet, and had only suffered along the way.
-

The movie "The Captain" is actually quite similar to "The Climbers" in that both belong to the category where the subject matter is more important than the film itself.

Both of these are based on true stories.

The problems are probably similar; there are some inexplicable flirting scenes, and something just feels off.

To put it bluntly, the character played by Sister Meng was really useless.

Its function seems to be simply to flirt with others.
But after checking, Bai Liang felt that he really needed to add something.

The only thing that really happened on Sichuan Airlines Flight 8633 was that the windshield was shattered.

The entire incident took only 30 minutes from start to finish and landing.

If this were to be made into a two-hour movie, wouldn't it have to be filled with all sorts of things?

Even dangers that weren't originally there were added, such as broken glass shards being sucked into the engine, causing another engine to fail; the plane experienced severe turbulence, with people flying around inside the cabin, resulting in many injuries, including a flight attendant who was seriously injured; then they encountered a cloud storm, which the plane passed through; during landing, the plane was overweight and unable to land; finally, they were able to land, but then a tire burst during landing.
Even with all these added plot points, it still wasn't enough to make it two hours long. We had to add some more romantic subplots in the middle.

Bai Liang felt a little guilty.

He found it somewhat comical when he saw that half of the passenger, played by Ou Hao, was sucked out of the car.

At the same time, what I was thinking was that this guy wasn't wearing a seatbelt!

My apologies, I'll just play the electronic wooden fish for a bit.
Oh right, the role Bai Liang played in the cameo was an air traffic controller.

In one scenario, someone is wearing headphones and constantly issuing commands and communicating.

Wearing a white shirt and headphones, his appearance inexplicably caused some young female audience members to scream.

Xiao Nai!

However, Bai Liang felt that the movie's frequent close-ups of his face were a bit absurd.
He has a fairly distinctive look, so there's no need to resort to this method to remind the audience: this character is played by Bai Liang.
Overall, this movie has quite a few flaws, but as a commercial film, it's actually quite enjoyable to watch.

Even the love parts weren't described in much detail; it felt like just a little flirting, and that was it.

At least they didn't prioritize dating when a plane crashed and things were in dire need of time.
Therefore, the flaws do not detract from the overall merits.

Bai Liang pretended to be a professional film critic and gave a serious analysis.

In fact, you can tell whether a commercial film is good or not just by looking at the reactions of the "ordinary viewers".

Sure enough, Sister Meng was just following the plot of the movie, exclaiming "Wow!" and "Oh my god!"

And I kept gasping for air~
Her silly reaction showed that the film was quite good. However, Bai Liang didn't expect that Yu Dong had actually done his homework before inviting him over.

After the movie ended, he, who was originally speaking on stage, turned around and brought up the story of Bai Liang being chased by a typhoon while on a plane, and wanted him to share his experience.

Bai Liang was taken aback when he heard this, and then he remembered that it was about going to Dilraba's birthday party.

"Mr. Yu, I can't share this. I was sitting on the plane and felt perfectly fine. You should invite the captain of that flight over."

Hearing this, Yu Dong chuckled and said, "I've already invited them~ Come on, let's welcome the Shandong Airlines captain."

Cow breaking!

Bai Liang was very curious about how such a publicity genius had come up with that kind of secretive publicity strategy.

If someone's brain wasn't completely malfunctioning, they wouldn't be able to come up with something so outrageous.

Yu Dong actually invited the Shandong Airlines captain to the premiere, where he briefly shared what happened on that flight.

The humorous exchange with the control tower drew laughter from the audience.

What a great "the one behind is urging you on" thing, what kind of high-speed chase is this?

The program was quite entertaining.

However, the captain remarked at the end, "It's actually quite strange. I felt like the typhoon was specifically designed to urge me to accelerate. After I accelerated sharply, it immediately changed direction."

As the captain spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Liang with a strange look in his eyes.

Bai Liang keeps his eyes down, his nose focused on his heart, indicating that it has absolutely nothing to do with him.
No one can get help from a typhoon; it doesn't exist.

Captain: Really? I have a feeling you're involved.

He only found out later from trending topics that Bai Liang was actually on his plane at the time.

Because the typhoon was chasing them, the plane sped up and arrived in Yanjing ahead of schedule, which allowed Bai Liang to make it to the female celebrity's birthday party.

What a coincidence!
However, such a coincidence, coupled with that strange typhoon, makes one wonder what's going on.

What's more, Bai Liang's nickname just happens to be... "Great Immortal"~
Captain: What the hell did you do on my plane?! Huh?!
Bai Liang: Nonsense, can't you, a pilot, talk about science?

So Yu Dong's move was quite clever; he inexplicably managed to ride the wave of Dilraba's birthday party's popularity.

After the premiere of the movie "The Captain", Bai Liang wanted to take Sister Meng out for coffee and chat with her.

Although he had to rush to the next event, time is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out.

Moreover, he felt that Sister Meng's condition was a bit strange in the latter half of the day, so he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

He is still very responsible. When a girl is having trouble, he naturally wants to find a way to help and comfort her.

As a result, that old man Yu Dong came back again, showing absolutely no tact.

Of course, this time it's serious business.

He wanted to discuss a project for next year with Bai Liang.

"Changjin Lake".

After mentioning it briefly, Yu Dong glanced at Sister Meng, Bai Liang's little tagalong.
The girl was lost in thought and didn't seem to realize that she had infiltrated the chat of the "big shots".

However, in her eyes, Bai Liang is just her little hedgehog, and she doesn't have any "big boss" filter on him.

But Yu Dong was obviously a big shot in her circle, and he quickly noticed her gaze and then became somewhat flustered.

Huh? Did I do something wrong?
"Let's listen together." Bai Liang gently supported Meng Jie's back with one hand, preventing her from immediately shrinking back.

Don't panic, I'm here.

Yu Dong, being a seasoned veteran, immediately understood what was going on; that's what men are like!

He immediately smiled and said, "Miss Meng, right? There's a movie coming out next year. Would you be interested in making a cameo appearance?"

"Oh? Okay! Thanks~"

Actually, Sister Meng didn't hear clearly what Yu Dong said. It sounded like it was about a movie.
Anyway, she agreed on the spot.

After agreeing, he looked confused: What did I just agree to?
"Besides the mothers of the two main characters, are there any other female characters in 'The Battle at Lake Changjin'?" Bai Liang couldn't help but ask.

Yu Dong smiled particularly kindly: "That's a good option."

Yu Dong certainly didn't just start contacting Bai Liang about the "Changjin Lake" project today.

Bona had already contacted Yanzi.

For the average person, assembling a lineup like Bai Liang and Wu Jing would be an incredibly difficult task.

These two are arguably the most bankable actors in China right now.

At first, Yu Dong was not confident either, because the most troublesome thing was Bai Liang's status.

He's too high-profile.

A year or so ago, Wu Jing might have been able to outmaneuver him, but now it's hard to say.

So here comes the question: that classic thing in the entertainment industry.

Fan position!

These two are teamed up, who should take the lead?
From the perspective of the characters in the script, Wu Jing should definitely be the lead, but if Bai Liang's team wants to compete, there is a lot of room for maneuver, and they even have a good chance of winning.

Fortunately, Yu Dong was "prepared in advance".

He felt that his previous move of spending a fortune to hire Bai Liang for a cameo role was truly brilliant.

Because of this "relationship," it didn't take much effort to reach a basic agreement on cooperation.

Moreover, Bai Liang was willing to concede the prize, which made everyone happy.

Yu Dong: It's all thanks to me! I'm so awesome!

With those two there, he could even imagine setting a new box office record.

Of course, what he didn't know was that this thing was decided just by Bai Liang and Wu Jing making a phone call.

Forget about billing order. If the billing order is unclear, the two of them might just play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to be the lead.

In the past, they might have decided by drinking contests, but ever since Wu Jing ended up in the hospital after drinking with Bai Liang, he has never dared to challenge him to a drinking contest again.

In short, the so-called ranking really has no impact on them.

They're all top-tier figures in the film and television industry; it wouldn't seem outrageous for anyone to cast anyone else as the second lead.

Bai Liang's results were more impressive, but Wu Jing was, after all, a senior, so there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Of course, it's not acceptable to give way to others.

In short, no one else is worthy.

Sister Meng stood there dumbfounded for a while, listening, and finally figured out what kind of project it was.
Eyes wide open! Completely incredulous.

what? !

After the two finished talking, Bai Liang patted her head:

"Don't overthink it. That movie is basically a male-dominated film. Yu Dong is just being polite by letting you play a nurse or a female staff member, just a cameo. You probably won't find any other young actresses who can outshine you. She's definitely the most beautiful girl in the whole movie."

If he remembered correctly, the only female character in the movie was the mother of the two brothers he and Wu Jing played—a little old lady.

Sister Meng definitely stole the show!
Hearing this, Sister Meng felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Why would I want to outshine others?"

"You have a criminal record."

After having this embarrassing past brought up, Sister Meng blushed a little, but after a while, she said, "I'm just basking in your coattails again~"

"He's not even a lead actor, so this isn't really taking advantage of his fame," Bai Liang said, waving his hand.

"Your movie is terrifying to even listen to. Such an exaggerated cast!" Sister Meng muttered to herself, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at Bai Liang.

Bai Liang: She's too easy to fool.
That's how young girls seem to be; they don't ask for much. If it were a top-tier female celebrity, no, she wouldn't even need to ask for much.

Even Li Xin wouldn't have the same level of sympathy for this character as Meng Jie.

It's like they've found some treasure.

This movie does sound impressive, but there's hardly any room for female characters to shine.

Bai Liang was genuinely worried that Sister Meng might imagine a character like Na Zha from "Wolf Warrior 2" or Zhao Jinmai from "The Wandering Earth," but those were completely different things.

Fortunately, Sister Meng is still quite clear-headed and doesn't overreact as much as she imagines.

She was actually more touched by Bai Liang's supportive gesture; at that moment, she felt incredibly safe!
"Little hedgehog, you're so impressive! Just now, President Yu clearly wanted me to leave, but you managed to save me right away."

As Sister Meng spoke, she gestured to demonstrate Bai Liang's earlier actions.

Wow! So manly!
She loves it!
Bai Liang scratched his face and said, "If you chicken out, won't I lose face?"

"is it?"

"Yes, looking at the entire entertainment industry, who doesn't know that you, Sister Meng, are my henchmen?"

"Ugh, what 'henchman'? That sounds awful!"

"You think you can rise to the top without being a lackey?" Bai Liang asked warily.

Sister Meng almost blurted out: Yes~
But she held back, remaining silent, and simply smiled at Bai Liang before softly saying, "You're so good to me."
-

That's all for today. I can't stay up any longer. I have to drive home on the highway tomorrow at noon to celebrate Qingming Festival.

Mwah, please vote for me!
