Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 418: Female Classmates with Stories

"I'm leaving today. Let's see who dares to stop me, okay? The important thing is momentum!"

"I've learned it, bro~"

Arthur nodded, indicating that he had learned "useful" escape techniques from Bai Liang.

Yes, Bai Liang is leaving. After following Chen Kaige on a roadshow for two days, he directly said that he had something to do and had to excuse himself.

Chen Kaige naturally asked him what was so important.

Bai Liang: The cherry blossoms at Jiming Temple are in bloom.

Chen Kaige: Hmm. That makes sense.

Clearly, Bai Liang has inadvertently mastered the correct way to communicate with "poets".

The less he spoke to Chen Kaige in a human language, the more the other man could fill in the blanks in his own mind.

Actually, he was supposed to make a cameo appearance in the TV series "Serenade of Peaceful Joy," but he felt a little bad about canceling the movie promotion for this reason.

But from another perspective, I had a promise with a girl that we had made a long time ago.

She was waiting for me.

Doesn't it look completely different right away?

However, since Bai Liang wanted to slip away, Arthur couldn't stay any longer either. He was also itching to slip away, but he couldn't think of a good reason yet.

There is reason to suspect that he wanted to go on a date with one of his older female fans.

So Bai Liang taught him a move that was more imposing.

Of course, if one dies with great momentum, then it can be considered to have great momentum.

Hopefully, he didn't actually say that to Chen Kaige.
The period drama "Serenade of Peaceful Joy" was naturally filmed in Hengdian.

Oh right, at this time the name wasn't actually "Qing Ping Le" yet, but "Gu Cheng Bi".

Changing names is quite common in the industry. Many films and TV series are filmed and broadcast under two different names, some even with drastically different names.

There are generally two reasons for renaming TV dramas: environmental issues related to television dramas or market reasons.

The former requirement is very simple: positive and uplifting, free from demonic influences and the glorification of feudal dregs.

Market reasons are much more complex, including jumping on trending topics, following trends, separating books from plays, or avoiding risks.

Another rather bizarre case involves people who consult fortune tellers and, finding their original names unlucky, change them. The name change, along with the ritual of "guarding" the temple, can cost over two thousand yuan per episode.

Bai Liang thought that he might be able to earn this kind of money too.

His arrival at the "Qing Ping Le" production team was somewhat unfortunate; he just happened to brush past Zhang Tianai.

The other person was also there for a cameo role, but Bai Liang only managed to film her last scene. Her makeup and styling were very beautiful; this girl is indeed very suitable for period dramas.

Bright and charming.

There was a reason why she became a sensation with "Go Princess Go"; she really proved herself right.

The reason I'm emphasizing this is that Bai Liang noticed that the female lead of the drama, Jiang Shuying, didn't seem very happy.

Even when she saw Bai Liang arrive, she only managed a forced smile and a greeting, but her furrowed brows were still very noticeable.

He even asked, seemingly casually, "Are you very familiar with Zhang Tianai?"

"Not bad, we're quite familiar with each other," Bai Liang said casually.

Then I casually inquired about her health, since her furrowed brows suggested either she was upset or unwell.

Jiang Shuying even joked that he should take his pulse.

Bai Liang is making a guest appearance as a doctor this time, or more accurately, a royal physician in the palace.

He naturally wouldn't refuse such a request.

It's a job that matches my major.

"Good news! Congratulations!"

"Huh? Really?!"

"Uh, of course it's fake. How would I know how to take a pulse?"

"I really thought you could do that~" Jiang Shuying rolled her eyes.

Bai Liang innocently shrugged, then quickly put on his yo-yo.

Would I eat people?

His sudden movement only made Jiang Shuying's already somewhat agitated mind even more unsettled, and then she suddenly realized something was wrong!

Her face flushed red and then turned pale.
Bai Liang: Dude, I may not be able to take a pulse, but I can read people!
The other person reacted so strongly to a casual joke; unless it was an act, it means they've figured out everything about their recent "life."
We have to run!

This lesson taught him that he should never again presumptuously pretend to take pulses for others, especially jokingly claiming to be pregnant.

Ultimately, he underestimated his own current "authority".

Everyone thought he was very versatile and could do everything, so his ability to take a pulse wasn't something hard to accept.

However, judging from the moment Jiang Shuying probed his relationship with Zhang Tianai during their initial conversation, it's clear that the other person's irritability might be related to Zhang Tianai, who was also making a guest appearance.

What, you think you can have a "fight" with Jiang Shuying just by making a cameo appearance?
Bai Liang remembered that she and Jin Daxi seemed to have a grudge against each other. He heard that Daxi was always muttering about wanting to mess with Zhang Tianai and even wanted to instigate Li Xin to release a press release that would make her look better than Zhang Tianai.

The feuds and grudges between female celebrities are truly complex and common.

They're all female classmates with stories to tell~
However, Bai Liang soon realized why Jiang Shuying looked so worried.

Because Sister Meng brought her friends along.

"You've finally arrived! Let me introduce you, this is Wang Churan," Sister Meng said with a smile.

The little expression on his face seemed a bit smug.

Well, my little hedgehog is absolutely gorgeous!

When he first arrived, the entire crew stopped filming to welcome him, exuding an aura of a big star.

Although it had nothing to do with Sister Meng herself, she just felt, "Oh, how prestigious!"

However, in order to keep a low profile, Sister Meng did not immediately go over. Instead, she waited until everyone was doing what they were doing, and only the producer and director were exchanging pleasantries with Bai Liang, before bringing her girlfriends out.

Sure enough, when the two of them arrived, the producer and director wisely made their way out first.

"Hello, Teacher Bai!" Wang Churan greeted Bai Liang very politely.

At the same time, there seemed to be some curiosity in her eyes as she looked at Bai Liang, but she didn't dare to stare at him for too long.
Compared to Sister Meng's habits and casualness, Bai Liang, who was not familiar with her, seemed dazzlingly radiant!

No matter how gentle Kapibala is, he can't resist people's imaginations.
However, Bai Liang was slightly surprised when he saw her.

You don't even need to look at her birth date and time to know that this girl has a connection with "white".

Of course, it's not the "Bai" in "Bai Liang".

Instead, she's known as "White Porridge Sister" and "Eye-Rolling Sister." She's big and white
To be fair, she is very beautiful, with a certain air of a leading lady, the kind of actress who could make it in the entertainment industry just by her looks.

Moreover, there are too many sweet and innocent young actresses in the entertainment industry now, so someone like her is rather rare, making her all the more unique.

However, the downside of this type of appearance is that it makes one look older than their age. Even though they are only twenty years old, they look like they are the same age as Sister Meng.

These two are amazing; one looks very scheming, and the other looks very impatient.

Bai Liang glanced at Wang Churan, then at Sister Meng, and then recalled Zhang Tianai from just now.

Snapped!
Punch with your fist.

Case solved.

Honestly, no wonder Jiang Shuying looked so worried. Aside from a few of the most handsome men in the entertainment industry, who could resist this?
A group of beauties has arrived to outshine her!
How desperate must the female lead feel when she discovers that everyone from the supporting actresses to the guest stars is prettier than her?
No wonder I'm in a bad mood.

If Jiang Shuying were more capable, she might have been able to cause some trouble during filming, such as cutting scenes of supporting actresses or stealing their spotlight.

But this is a drama produced by Daylight Entertainment, and it's a male-centric drama, so she can't control anything about it.

After all, she's not the only one with powerful connections.

Sister Meng is now Jia Shikai's main focus, and this is probably her last supporting role role. Using a Noon Sunshine drama to transition to the lead role is very smooth.

It's obvious they want to promote her to the position of a top-tier actress.

Adding to that, Bai Liang had jokingly said to Sister Meng before: "Looking at the entire entertainment industry, who doesn't know that Sister Meng is Bai Liang's henchman?"
Jiang Shuying also knew, or more accurately, the entire production crew knew.

As for Wang Churan, she is no ordinary person either. Behind her is Fosun Pictures, a behemoth whose parent company is very well-known in Shanghai.

A quick look at her resume reveals just how good her resources are.

So Jiang Shuying must be feeling terrible. He guesses he can only wait until the TV series is released to generate more trending topics. During filming, there's nothing he can do about these pretty girls.

"What did you just realize? You look like you've just had a sudden realization," Sister Meng asked curiously, tilting her head.

"I thought of something happy."

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

"There really is!"

Although Sister Meng's understanding and Bai Liang's thoughts were not the same, it still made her happy. Her bright smile attracted Wang Churan's attention.

Sister, are you so easy to coax?

Just as she was wondering, she turned to look at Bai Liang again, and he smiled gently at her.

Wang Churan immediately lowered her head, her ears turning red. Sister, I understand you.

They're incredibly difficult to appease.

On his first day there, Bai Liang didn't rush to start filming.

Because the director came up with a new idea.
His original role as a royal physician was actually a bit unsuitable. What emperor would allow such a handsome young royal physician to roam freely in his harem?
I'll show him the green light in no time.

This point has already been set by Wen Shichu, the imperial physician in "Empresses in the Palace".

So Zhang Kaizhou suddenly did some research these past two days and thought he could turn Bai Liang's cameo into an Easter egg!
"Serenade of Peaceful Joy" tells the story of Emperor Renzong of Song, Zhao Zhen, the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty. The elderly emperor who appears in "The Story of Minglan" is Emperor Renzong, and the empress dowager in the drama is Empress Cao, played by Jiang Shuying in "Serenade of Peaceful Joy".

Emperor Renzong of Song had three sons who all died young, and all his subsequent sons were daughters. There were no sons to inherit the throne. So when Emperor Renzong grew old, his ministers began to advise him to adopt a member of the imperial family as the crown prince. The court was abuzz with discussion about the selection of the crown prince.

This is the story of Sheng Changfeng from the Sheng family in "The Story of Minglan," who got drunk and made irresponsible remarks about the crown prince, which later led to his father, Sheng Hong, being detained in the palace for a day. When he returned, he kicked Changfeng.

Later, Emperor Renzong of Song still chose Zhao Zongshi, a member of the imperial clan, as his successor. This is the same Zhao Zongquan who liked to grow rice in the drama "The Story of Minglan." This led to the scene where Minglan delivers the imperial edict to Zhao Zongquan.

The two dramas can actually be connected, so how could they waste Bai Liang's cameo appearance by using a royal physician as a substitute?

His cameo role, of course, is that of Marquis Ningyuan, whose surname is Gu.

Bai Liang: So am I playing my own father or my own grandfather?

That's not important, because he won't even have a name; he'll just be the Marquis of Ningyuan, standing in the imperial court in a scarlet robe.

He'll make a few appearances, interact with Wang Kai's character, Emperor Renzong of Song, and that's it for his cameo role.

Wang Churan: Huh? You're not going to take my pulse anymore?
It should be noted that Bai Liang's original cameo role was to take the pulse of Consort Zhang and Empress Cao, both played by Bai Liang. As a result, the opportunity to act alongside a 20 billion yuan box office star was lost.

What a pity!

"Wow, you're so ambitious!" Sister Meng exclaimed in amazement at Wang Churan's regret.

During the time she spent with Bai Liang, she basically didn't think about anything like learning acting skills from him.

Instead of wasting time on that, why not give each other a couple more kisses?
Going back to an old flame is so delicious!

Wang Churan: So, Sister Meng, what were you doing all this time? With such a powerful backer, it took you years to get to where you are now.
Although Meng Ziyi is doing better than Wang Churan now, she feels that if she had the same connections as Wang Churan, her development would definitely be much more than what she is now.

With a little effort, Jiang Shuying's role should be hers right now.

What a waste, sisters!
However, she never expected that the "truth" hidden among Bai Liang's other scandals, which were so widely discussed, was actually that Sister Meng, whose voice was relatively quiet.

They hid it so well!

Sister Meng: I didn't hide anything~ You have no idea how fierce the competition is.

Honestly, if Bai Liang only doted on her and didn't include the names of the other girls in his stories, Sister Meng would have already started causing trouble for him.
She would definitely whine and whimper to act along with him, openly and legitimately using connections, and become a happy little burden.

She announced directly to everyone that this man was now hers.

But in this situation, it's actually embarrassing to do that.

It's completely impossible to do.

If you act out while everyone else doesn't, and instead acts like a sweet and caring daughter to her brother, wouldn't that cause a huge uproar?

Fire prevention, theft prevention, and green tea prevention.

Just like the stability of a triangle, when the number of girls increases, they will find a way to balance themselves.

Their obedience level has also increased dramatically.

It can even lead to a certain degree of "keeping up with the Joneses".

For example, "You make him do this and that, is that because you like him? You're clearly using him! Unlike me, I don't need anything, I just like him as a person, I'd even give myself to him!"

Of course, achieving this effect requires extremely high numerical values ​​and modeling capabilities.

It is generally not recommended for boys to imitate this.

Bai Liang is acceptable.

Therefore, Wang Churan's current judgment is based on a lack of understanding of Sister Meng's true situation, and is therefore quite unrealistic.

This perfectly illustrates the saying: "What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand."

You can't truly understand the intricacies and pressures of it unless you experience it firsthand.

That evening, Bai Liang went drinking with Kai Kai, Wang, and the director.

It was a group of guys, so they didn't bring the two girls.

The main reason was that Jiang Shuying seemed to be in low spirits, and the crew left in a hurry after get off work.

So we didn't invite any other girls, and the guys just drank and had a good time.

While Meng Jie was in the room with Wang Churan, she took advantage of Meng Jie's good mood to ask, "How long have you two been dating?"

"Huh?"

"There's no need to pretend anymore, it's too obvious, you're practically clinging to him."

Sister Meng scratched her head. "Oh, how do I explain this?"
What?! You two aren't a couple?!

“...That was true before,” Sister Meng quickly tried to save face.

Most people naturally refused to talk about it anymore, as it was all painful memory.

"Hey, by the way, I remember he has some kind of documentary going to be released today, do you want to watch it?"

Although Sister Meng asked that question, she herself clearly really wanted to see it~ At the same time, she was also able to change the subject quite well.

"Of course I want to see it! Which website?"

Seeing her sisters suddenly become more enthusiastic, Sister Meng felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Since things have come to this, let's find a documentary first.
When the two of them remembered this, the documentary titled "Climbing to the Top" had already been online on Sohu Video for half an hour.

Most of them are Bai Liang's fans, but there are also quite a few people who specifically wait for this thing.

For example, Wu Jing, Jing Boran, and even the old man Xia whom Bai Liang met at the movie premiere and the sunglasses-wearing guy who passed by.

As for the young ladies, basically every time they have free time, they're watching.

"Coming, coming~"

"What a prestigious position! A documentary is prominently displayed on the website."

"Bullshit, they probably sold it to Sohu because of their relationship with Zhang Chaoyang. I don't believe the other companies wouldn't be interested."

"How much did Sohu pay for this exclusive deal? No other website has it, forcing me to subscribe to Sohu's membership."

"It turns out the photos were taken starting from the national highway. The scenery here is really beautiful."

"There's quite a lot of trash at Everest Base Camp."

Holy crap! The mountains are bathed in golden sunlight!

"."

When the golden mountain under the sun appeared in the documentary, the already crowded bullet comments exploded instantly.

They're all making wishes there!
Even after the scene of the sun shining on the golden mountains ended, many viewers in the live chat were still discussing the amazing sight they had just witnessed.
At this moment, the documentary cuts to the mountaineering team setting off!

After Everest Base Camp, everything around seemed to be encased in frost.

The stones were all dark gray, like mountains formed by piles of dust, giving people a cold and gloomy feeling.

The area the mountaineering team traversed was desolate, almost entirely different from when the mountains were bathed in golden sunlight.

The contrast is quite striking.

From the drone's overhead view, the mountaineering team appeared exceptionally small against the backdrop of the massive mountains.

It makes one wonder: can such majestic mountains really be conquered by humankind?
Or, to put it another way, humanity has never conquered nature.
Until Bai Liang stood on that big rock, straightened his back, and his face remained calm.

Looking down at Mount Everest from below.

Under his gaze, even the mountains seemed to bow their heads.

Without any filters or embellishments, the atmosphere of ordinary people challenging mountains with their own strength is fully amplified by the background music, giving you goosebumps.

It seems there's only one word that can describe how I feel right now.

The courage to hear thunder in silence!

"This shot is amazing! Does the mountaineering team have a professional cinematographer? How was it filmed?"

"I've been reminding myself that this is a documentary. This guy is so cool! Even while climbing Mount Everest, he doesn't forget to show off?"

"He reached the top, so he can show off however he wants."

"A new viral photo! Holy crap, this guy is showing off like this at an altitude of over 7,000 meters, even I, a guy, am getting wet."

"I'm a guy too, and I admit he's handsome. Even slightly more handsome than me after a shower."

"I don't dare to skip any progress bars, for fear that the master will do something unexpected halfway through, like, 'So handsome?!'"

"Cough cough, I think it's even more exciting than 'The Climbers'!"

"."

At this moment, Wu Jing, who was watching a documentary, felt a tickle on his scalp when he noticed that many comments mentioned "The Climbers".

It's finally here.

However, viewers who didn't fast-forward felt that the climax of the documentary must be the moment they reached the summit.

However, that is not actually the case.

Even because this segment didn't encounter any major difficulties, the audience's emotions weren't quite engaged.

After all, you can't truly understand the pressure of that kind of environment unless you're at that altitude.

Even when the footage of reaching the summit appeared, everyone felt as if something was missing.

But at this point, many spoiler-seekers came to the front and posted comments.

"High alert! Something even more thrilling than reaching the summit is coming!"
-

I can only try my best to keep updating these two days.

I'm so sorry, things will definitely return to normal after the Qingming Festival.
