Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 416 As trendy as my grandma~
After watching "Shanghai Fortress," Bai Liang feels that he can now appreciate any movie he watches.

To put it bluntly and bluntly, after thoroughly tasting a pile of shit, everything else tastes good.

Until he went to the premiere of "The Climbers".

It's dark in front of you!
They're not really having a life-or-death romance on Mount Everest, are they?

Did the post-production editing cut out the professional scenes and leave only the romance scenes?
In fact, the content during filming does not completely determine the final form of the movie.

Sometimes, after several days of hard work filming, you might only get a two-second shot in the end.

Even though Bai Liang kissed girls so many times during filming, the final kissing scenes weren't that many.

It's not the kind of film that's rushed to completion, so some of the footage might not actually be used.

But it seems that the emotional scenes in "The Climbers" have been exhausted.

Halfway through the movie, Bai Liang couldn't resist checking out Wu Jing's expression.

Unfortunately, even though he was sitting in the front row, he couldn't crane his neck to see, and it was all dark around him.

But he thought it would be absolutely amazing!
At altitudes of six or seven thousand meters, Bai Liang could scale walls and leap across rooftops with such flair, but this guy was just putting on a show by lighting a cigarette.

It still has to be Wolf Warrior!

Everest Warrior! Hahaha~
Wu Jing, who was watching a movie at the moment, had his brows furrowed tightly.

Although he felt something was very, very wrong during the filming, the final product still made him grin from ear to ear.

My heart was pounding; I had a feeling this time I was going to make a huge mess.
At this moment, he didn't know whether he had connected with Bai Liang on a brainwave or sensed something.

She couldn't help but lean forward slightly and glance at Bai Liang.

Their eyes met in the darkness.

The two grown men's gazes didn't spark any connection.

Wu Jing was amazed that even in such a dark environment, Bai Liang's eyes could still accurately convey that gloating emotion.

That's some serious acting with his eyes!

But now doesn't seem like the time to marvel at how good this kid's eye acting is.

Bai Liang: Hehe, you're in for a world of trouble~
Wu Jing: Damn it!

Sure enough, as soon as the movie ended, Bai Liang couldn't wait to walk over to Wu Jing.

Wu Jing himself wanted nothing more than to turn and run away; he already had a premonition of what this kid was about to say.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to run away.

He's the male lead in this movie!
Anyone can run away today, but he can't escape no matter what.

Fortunately, Zhang Ziyi, who was sitting next to him, stepped forward, grabbed Bai Liang's arm, and asked him with a smile how he was feeling.
That sounded extremely strange.

It made Bai Liang feel like he had just finished washing his feet and the technician was asking him if he was satisfied with the service.

"That's great, that's great!"

Bai Liang still wanted to find Wu Jing and get some fun from him.

But Zhang Ziyi was too difficult to deal with. She seemed to want to continue exchanging pleasantries with Bai Liang and try to build a relationship with him.

Logically speaking, actresses of her age should no longer be able to act alongside Bai Liang.

The maximum age at which someone can act opposite Bai Liang, such as as a couple, is around 85 years old.

If it's too high, the audience will feel distracted and can't stand it.

But, as you can say, times are changing.

There are actually some dramas now featuring older actresses dating younger men, and the proportion of "older woman/younger man" relationships is significantly higher than before.

I wonder if it was to make it easier for some older female viewers to relate to the story.
Grandma Qing had already given a demonstration, and Wenli was starting to get restless.
It's hard to say whether Zhang Ziyi suddenly became more enthusiastic towards Bai Liang than before because of this.

Not satisfied with dating Wu Jing, do you also want to have a relationship with Bai Liang?
However, she insisted on saying something like, "I've seen Bai Liang's early works and I've admired him ever since." This almost made Bai Liang think that she was cursing him.

Zhang Ziyi's appreciation is, in fact, somewhat toxic.

She used to admire Zhang Xueying, but then that girl caused the "spicy soup incident".

She seems to admire Meng Meiqi now, and then she'll probably pull off something like the 456 incident.

The "appreciation" from Empress Zhang is specifically aimed at male-female relationships!

Bai Liang, a player with a rather complicated romantic history, was fortunate to have confidence in his luck; otherwise, given his opponent's record, he would probably have panicked.

After finally getting rid of Zhang Niangniang, Bai Liang still managed to catch Wu Jing before the host invited the main actors to the stage.

He chased, he fled, but he couldn't escape even if he had wings!
"Wow! Everest Warrior! Impressive skills!"

"you boy"

Faced with Bai Liang's zero-frame attack, Wu Jing's face was full of misery. He didn't even dare to talk back. Instead, he put his hands together and begged, "Take it easy. Don't mess around in this situation."

"Do you think I'd let anyone else hear this? Don't worry, I'll only laugh at you."

Looking at Bai Liang's bright smile, Wu Jing was speechless. How could this little bastard like to build his happiness on other people's suffering?

Beast!
Since we can't escape it, we might as well start setting up shop.

"What could I do? Shanghai Film Studio insisted on sending me. Even the current director came to save the day."

"Tsk tsk, to rival gods with a mortal body, you truly are worthy of being called Hagi Wolf~"

"That's enough, Liang-ge~"

Alright, alright, Bai Liang also felt that was about right.

The fact that the two of them were catching a cricket catching meal was actually quite eye-catching.

In fact, Hu Ge and Jing Boran, who were closest to them, heard what they were saying.

However, when Wu Jing and Bai Liang turned to look at them at the same time, the two of them simultaneously made a zipping motion on their mouths.

Very good, you're so well-behaved!
But Jing Boran couldn't help but say, "Da Xian, you're a real beast! You can't wait to come up with a sarcastic comment."

Hu Ge, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement, saying that they should at least wait until the premiere was over.

Wu Jing thought these two younger brothers were quite good, they had good judgment, unlike Bai Liang, that bastard, who couldn't wait to rub salt into his wounds.

Don't you know whose territory this is, you bastard! Watch out or you'll get ganged up on!
Bai Liang: Oh~ I missed you two, didn't I?

It's worth noting that Wu Jing wasn't the only one in the movie who had a romantic relationship; Jing Boran was also involved.

Fortunately, the director and screenwriter didn't exaggerate too much; they each dated different girls.

Otherwise, if they created a "love triangle on Mount Everest," the show would be even more explosive!

Jing Boran: What, you're allowed to date Xinjiang girls in real life, but I'm not allowed to date Xizang girls in movies?

He wasn't the male lead after all, so he didn't have the same psychological burden as Wu Jing.

So I'm going to give Bai Liang a good "battle".

However, looking at Bai Liang's ambiguous smile, Jing Boran suddenly realized, "Oh no, this guy just came down from the summit of Mount Everest not long ago."

Wu Jing: It's not just that he didn't get down for long, you have no idea how he got down. Dude, you really think there's no reason for this? Everyone's acted in bad movies before.

There was no time to continue fooling around, because the main creators had to go on stage.

The premiere still received enthusiastic applause, after all, the film wasn't so bad that it silenced the audience completely.

Moreover, the actors in this drama didn't perform badly, but the plot was just like that, and there was really nothing that could be done about it.

Actually, we can look at this movie from a different perspective: Operation Everest.

007 flirts with girls and shows off his coolness while doing missions, so why can't Hagiwara do the same?
However, it still somewhat squandered the significance of this subject matter.
This should have been a life-or-death climb about faith, just like the famous saying "the mountain is there," and they are a group of mountaineers who should not be forgotten.

We will not yield an inch of land in our quest to reach the summit for our country.

These words are not just empty words.
-

Play is back, play is back.

Bai Liang didn't "crash" the premiere. After the main actors were called on stage, he quietly organized what he should say later.

It's not that he needs to be so formal or that he needs to prepare in advance. It's just that Bai Liang is worried that he might accidentally say something suggestive like "Everest Love Story" or "Wolf Warrior Agent".

Just as the lead actors began sharing stories from the filming process, Bai Liang, who was tilting his head in thought, was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

He turned around and saw an old man smiling at him.

However, the other party was clearly not just an ordinary old man, because his two lower legs were made of "steel and iron".

"Grandpa, you're so cool!" Bai Liang exclaimed, giving a thumbs up. "Cyberpunk, just as trendy as my grandma!"

The old man was taken aback by these words, then couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Your grandma can't be like me, can she?"

“She’s a different kind of person. She told me the other day that she was seeing things more and more slowly.”

"Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?" the old man asked, still quite concerned.

Bai Liang shook his head. "Later I realized that she had become faster. I plan to enroll her in an e-sports youth training camp so that she can realize her talent, just like you, Grandpa Xia."

Hey, you know me?!

Of course we should get to know each other. Although Bai Liang is just here to show his support, he always takes his preparations very seriously.

I did my research before watching "The Captain," and I did the same for "The Climbers."

This old man is Xia Boyu, the real-life inspiration for the character played by Hu Ge in The Climbers.

He was part of the mountaineering team back then. While climbing Mount Everest, he helped his teammates, which resulted in the amputation of both of his lower legs due to frostbite.

However, this old man did indeed create a real-life version of flesh and blood suffering and mechanical ascension.

He failed to summit Mount Everest back then, but over the years, even after losing his legs, he never gave up on this goal and tried many times.

The person who made the biggest splash this year by summiting Mount Everest was Bai Liang, and last year he was the first Chinese mountaineer to summit with prosthetics, despite being 69 years old and having a disability in both legs.

Therefore, one should be in their sixties and work hard.

Bai Liang felt that there was nothing wrong with his grandmother participating in e-sports youth training.

Unfortunately, my mom ruthlessly rejected this proposal, saying that Grandma still wanted to do square dancing and would represent the community in the competition later.

They can't find the time to contribute to the development of esports in China.

Grandpa Xia's conversation with Bai Liang was clearly also due to Bai Liang's experience of summiting Mount Everest this year; it was a professional exchange of experiences.

However, Bai Liang only heard him say things like "encountering consecutive avalanches and earthquakes," "encountering a blizzard at an altitude of 8750 meters, only 94 meters from the summit, and being forced to descend," and so on.

Bai Liang had never encountered these difficulties.

He did tell the truth, which left the old man stunned. "You didn't encounter any difficulties? You went straight up?"

Bai Liang thought for a moment and found one of the "difficulties": "It's not entirely that, the food isn't very good."

Blanch!
The old man looked at him speechlessly, almost thinking that the kid was joking with him.

Even though commercial climbing is now very mature, people still lose their lives on it from time to time, which still shows that it is a very dangerous extreme sport.

But how come this kid described it as if he had just taken a stroll through Beihai Park?

Why don't you set up a hot pot restaurant on Mount Everest and have a meal there?

"At such a high altitude, the water won't boil, so we can't cook hot pot." Bai Liang thought to himself, isn't this common sense?

The old man choked for a moment. It was indeed common sense, but he was a little confused by what the young man was saying.

Is it true or false?

So Bai Liang took the opportunity to recommend his documentary to the other party, and didn't forget to remind him to get a membership.

However, when Wu Jing and the others on stage saw the two below having such a passionate exchange, they always felt as if these two professional tough guys were teaming up to criticize them.

Grandpa Xia can't come up and yell at people later, can he?

Fortunately, neither of them caused any trouble.

Bai Liang, in particular, is so well-behaved that it's a stark contrast to his usual self.

He also added, "The conditions are different now than they were back then. Commercial climbing today is incomparable to the difficulty of climbing back then. It is precisely because of pioneers like the mountaineering teams of that time that later generations have been able to continuously conquer Mount Everest."

This time, humility is off the charts.

While it seemed like he was praising the movie, Bai Liang was actually speaking to Grandpa Xia and the other members of the mountaineering team from back then.

The old man seemed to understand immediately, and nodded with a smile.

But we still need to see how this kid managed to get there so smoothly! In his words, Mount Everest is as warm and welcoming as his own mother.

Holy crap, Mount Everest has two faces?!
He simply couldn't believe in this superstition.
The host at the scene seemed quite "sensible" and took the initiative to bring up Bai Liang's documentary.

It seems someone gave him a heads-up, and he reciprocated by advertising for him.

"I was lucky last time; the climb went smoothly. Of course, it wasn't as thrilling or dangerous as in the movies, but there were still some differences."

Wu Jing: No way, you've made this way much more thrilling than in the movies!

Honestly, when he found out how Bai Liang got down there, he even thought that having a romance on Mount Everest wasn't such an outrageous thing.

Movies that don't follow logic will get criticized by audiences, but outrageous things in real life don't need logic.

"Brother Jing, you look a bit strange."

After returning to the stage temporarily, Jing Boran asked a question out of curiosity.

Wu Jing waved his hand, "You'll find out later."

"Because of the Great Immortal's ascent to the summit?"

The documentary about Bai Liang was mentioned on stage earlier; it was released a week after the movie premiered, right after the National Day holiday ended.

"He's more than just reached the top... I won't spoil it. Just one week, one week, let's see how much box office revenue he can get."

Holy crap, what's going on? Is it really that pessimistic?

Although the movie's plot is a bit exaggerated, with such a cast and strong marketing, it shouldn't have failed so badly in just one week!

Moreover, Wu Jing is one of the most bankable actors right now; his name alone is worth at least several hundred million in box office revenue.
Of course, there's an even more powerful one.

Jing Boran couldn't help but turn his head to see what Bai Liang was doing.

After turning around, he looked helpless.

You beast!
"Chuni Tsering, I know a little Tibetan. Please correct me if I don't speak it well."

The young woman looked at him with surprise and delight, "You're right, did you study it specifically?"

"Almost~"

If Bai Liang hadn't recently gone to Tibet to climb Mount Everest, he would have almost forgotten the Tibetan language.

Of course, what he said was just so-so, certainly not as good as what Xinjiang said.

After all, when it comes to learning a language, you need someone to practice with you constantly and to be familiar with the context for you to make rapid progress.

Well, Bai Liang really doesn't know any pretty Tibetan girls.

But I met someone today.

After all, I did my homework before coming, so of course I need to know about each of the main actors.

What impressed him most about this Miss Qu Ni Ciren was a drama called "Reba Love".

Just by looking at the name, you can understand why Bai Liang is so memorable. At first, I thought this drama was promoting the theme of Xinjiang, and I was curious why they found a Tibetan actress.

Later, it turned out to be completely different; the Xizang people also had the nickname "Dilraba".

Awesome!
After discovering that Bai Liang could also establish an encrypted communication with Qu Ni Ciren, the guys were truly impressed.

Okay, okay. Tibetan?!
The immortal master does indeed have the ability to charm girls all over China.

With this kind of language learning ability, he can be the most familiar stranger wherever he goes.

After Bai Liang chatted with the person for a while, he even received a Gesang flower that the young lady had specially brought for him that day.
The guys were at a loss for words.

Jing Boran: It's not fair that she didn't give me anything even though we played a couple!
