Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 423 Kapibala Summoner

A play needs actors, and I happen to be one.

Upon hearing this, the media were stunned.

Goodness, I almost forgot this guy is actually educated, and quite well at that.

It's no wonder they were stunned; Jiu Louyu has interviewed far too many people.
While it may not be quite at the level of a "famous quote" that you could write in an essay, it can still be considered a golden quote in the entertainment industry.

Just like Bai Liang's "story of early success" at the Golden Eagle Awards, sometimes a well-chosen sentence can really be like a label that everyone will remember.

It's also somewhat similar to Huang Bo's saying, "This era won't stop you from shining, but you can't overshadow anyone else's brilliance."

They directly created a persona and label for him as someone with high emotional intelligence.

However, Bai Liang's words this time had an even better effect.

Because it's short.

Shorter sentences are easier for people to remember.

This sentence, which at first glance seems very civilized, polite, and sophisticated, can actually be quite frighteningly damaging in this situation.

Sure enough, Wu Moufan's Weibo comment section was flooded with this sentence.

They all had the same uniformity: "A play needs actors, and I just happen to be one."

After a long time, Bai Liang once again casually delivered a critical hit to him!

In a way, this can be considered as helping Wu Moufan "leave his name".

From now on, whenever Bai Liang is mentioned, people will search online and it will be associated with the dispute between Wu Moufan and Yang Zi over billing order.

He had been feuding with Yang Zi for so long, but the hurt he suffered today was far greater.

It felt like being nailed to a pillar of shame.

Is he targeting me?! Is he targeting me?

Hearing Wu Moufan's extremely displeased rambling, none of his team members could help but speak the truth.

"It does have an effect on us, but subjectively it shouldn't be necessary."

His team still has some pragmatic players. The reason they were able to compete with Bai Liang in the past was because they were of similar status and in similar fields.

But now, I've never heard of Alibaba going to such lengths just to target small supermarkets in county towns.

Wu Moufan: ? ? ?

The team member's stab was even more vicious than that bastard Bai Liang's!

What do you mean by "it shouldn't be necessary subjectively"?

I'm not even qualified to be his opponent anymore, am I?!

Well, under normal circumstances, Bai Liang really doesn't care about Wu Moufan's thoughts anymore. The two of them are like two parallel lines in the industry now.

Basically, there will be no more direct interaction between them. The resources that Bai Liang has access to are not even worth the other party's attention, let alone theirs.

As for Wu Moufan's resources, Yanzi said she didn't think much of them. What a paltry sum! You think you're worthy of being targeted or intercepted by our Xiaobai?
Go play there by yourself~
But.
Two days later, the iQiyi online variety show "Fourtry" will begin filming.

The owner and his partners traveled to Tokyo, the fashion capital of Asia, to run the "FOURTRY" fashion boutique. Through their respective understandings and collaborations on fashion culture, they promoted original Chinese design and exported youth fashion culture.

The show's guest lineup is quite good. Although Wu Moufan's career has declined, this field is indeed his comfort zone.

With Yang Tianbao's involvement, the show's viewership was quite high.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jinmai, who had arrived at the airport and was preparing to leave for Tokyo to record a program, was listening to her manager's rambling while her mind wandered.

The reason she was distracted was that she knew Bai Liang had joined a film crew, and since he was filming, he probably wouldn't have time to come to the show to hang out with her.
Although Bai Liang had told her long ago that he was probably not available, young girls are creatures who always hold onto even the slightest bit of hope.

What if~
In addition, it seems that the other party doesn't have a good relationship with the main guest of the show, Wu Moufan.

"MaiMai, what are you thinking about?" Her manager patted her on the shoulder with amusement.

"Oh, I'm sorry~"

Nowadays, Zhao Jinmai is no longer running a family workshop. After the release of "The Wandering Earth", as the female lead, she naturally received offers from many companies.

Family workshops are generally not feasible in the entertainment industry; many things require a professional team to manage.

The original combination of Bai Liang and Yanzi was somewhat unprofessional, but fortunately Yanzi improved so quickly that she built a team for him on the spot.

Zhao Jinmai suffered a loss in this regard in the first half of this year. So he signed with a company called Dongde Culture.

The young girl's current agent is also assigned by the company, and they are still getting to know each other, so she is a little intimidated by her agent.

Sure enough, after being reminded that he was daydreaming, his posture turned into that of a primary school student caught by the homeroom teacher.

"Don't be so nervous, we're just chatting casually. But MaiMai, you're really lucky."

The agent's "good luck" refers to the program's positioning.

Originally, when Zhao Jinmai went to record the show "Fourtry", her screen time was definitely not as much as Wu Moufan and Yang Tianbao, and she was considered a supporting character in the show.

However, Wu Moufan took the initiative to suggest that they could have some brother-sister CP interactions.

That way she'll get more screen time.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinmai nodded somewhat bewildered at first, then subconsciously asked, "But I already have an older brother~"

"My brother isn't my boyfriend, it's okay," the manager said with a smile, then casually asked, "Who is it?"

Zhao Jinmai blinked, about to say something, but then stopped talking.

"Nobody~"

Agent: Hmm?
Is this little girl not allowed to date? A brother or a romantic partner?

It's quite possible that a girl of this age would want to date, and the manager thinks she should give her a little reminder later.

However, since she was still a young girl, she felt that she should be a little more careful in her approach and not let her develop a rebellious streak.

The company clearly has a high opinion of Zhao Jinmai. After all, with the work "The Wandering Earth" to her name, they are unlikely to be too strict or demanding of her.

But because of Zhao Jinmai's words, the agent originally wanted to add another reminder about Wu Moufan.

But for now, I feel there's no need to say anything.

Even if she has a romantic interest like a "brother in love," Wu Moufan, although he's a bit shabby now, is still quite good-looking.

Let's hedge first.

Once they arrived in Tokyo, the show officially began filming, and Wu Moufan indeed treated Zhao Jinmai like a younger sister, just as he had said.

The moment we met, they showered me with concern and warmth, their tone and attitude incredibly gentle.

Zhao Jinmai was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

She was gentle, and she had seen people like this before, but they were quite different from the other person.

"You're being too enthusiastic; it's making Mai Mai a little flustered," Yang Tianbao said to Wu Moufan as he walked over and took Zhao Jinmai's hand. "My fault, my fault, let's get to know each other slowly."

Seeing Wu Moufan's bright smile, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but compare him to her other "brother".

I still think Kapibala is more natural. His smile only makes people feel comfortable, without any aggression or discomfort.

Back when they were on the set of "The Wandering Earth," she even dared to secretly reach out and touch Bai Liang's head when he was just spacing out.

Even though Bai Liang would sternly scold her, force her to do her homework, and even tattle on her to her parents, Zhao Jinmai realized, as she thought about it, how "annoying" he really was!

How bad!
But it's also impossible to completely dislike it.
Meanwhile, facing a contestant with a similar smile, who was also handsome and tall, she subconsciously hesitated to approach him.

This feeling reached its peak halfway through the recording of the show.

Zhao Jinmai, who was sitting with someone discussing trendy clothes, suddenly noticed that Wu Moufan was staring straight at her, while smiling meaningfully.

This made her instinctively avert her gaze and slightly purse her lips.
Finally, when there was really no way to avoid it, he simply glared at the other person.

It seems they want to project an image of "I'm rebellious" and "I'm not someone to mess with".

But the little girl's glare was really not intimidating. It was like a kitten being fierce, which not only didn't make her seem tough, but also made her seem even cuter.

So instead of looking away, the other person smiled even more "brightly".

Yang Tianbao, who had taken in all this, frowned slightly and gave Wu Moufan a meaningful look.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught. This guy didn't even notice her, this "old woman," and didn't even want to give her a second glance.

During subsequent recordings of the show, this situation seemed to escalate further.

Wu Moufan even tried to pull Zhao Jinmai away on the show, saying he wanted to take her with him.
Even when driving, he wanted Zhao Jinmai to sit in the passenger seat.

At first glance, this series of actions seems to be just the older brother doting on the younger sister, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

After all, who doesn't love a cute little sister?
Everyone else on the show treated Zhao Jinmai very well; she was like the group's darling.

However, at the beginning, Wilber Pan and Forks, the other two male guests on the show, also interacted with Zhao Jinmai quite a lot.

However, the interaction gradually decreased later on.

This is not because they don't take care of underage girls.

Yang Tianbao offered his assessment: They've labeled it and claimed territory!

Having also entered the entertainment industry as a minor, she understands the situation all too well.

She never quite understood acting, but she had a deep understanding of these men.

This is quite common among male groups. When one guy in a group shows interest in a girl, the other guys will usually avoid him unless they are particularly concerned or want to compete with him.

Reduce interaction with this person of the opposite sex to show that you have no romantic feelings for them.

As for how you feel it, it's actually quite obvious, just like wild animals marking their territory by urinating.

According to Yang Tianbao's observation, the other two instances of reduced interaction with Zhao Jinmai occurred after Wu Moufan took off the necklace from his neck and put it on Zhao Jinmai.

This behavior is a subconscious assertion of sovereignty.

After Yang Tianbao understood what was going on, and based on what she knew, she thought about it for a long time.

Finally, I couldn't resist. "MaiMai, come over here."

"Okay, Baby!"

After calling her over, Yang Tianbao seemed to be having a casual chat, and after a few words, he casually asked Zhao Jinmai, "Do you have any close friends who you can invite to be guest stars?"

"Um, can we find this ourselves?"

"You're so silly. If it were a big star, the production team would be more than happy to have them." Yang Tianbao felt that he had already hinted to this extent, which was more than enough.

Little sister, if you're interested too, then I won't interfere. It's all up to you.

But if you're not interested, shouldn't the "big Buddha" behind you move a little?

Even if he doesn't do anything himself, it's not impossible to have Yang Tianbao continue to protect him, but at least he should make a phone call and leave a favor.
It's the world of fame and fortune, after all. Although I do like cute little girls like this, why not make some money if I can?

Of course, there is another possibility: that Zhao Jinmai's relationship with that person is not as good as Yang Tianbao imagined.

After all, the two haven't seemed to have any special interactions in the past six months.

Working together on a film doesn't guarantee a good relationship; many people never speak to each other again after filming.

Yang Tianbao was just saying that, offering one possible solution to the problem.
"Big name."

Zhao Jinmai wasn't stupid, so she naturally understood what Yang Tianbao meant.

Of course she knows big names, and they're incredibly influential figures, more famous than everyone else on the show combined. They have a very good relationship!

But he's too busy.
Thinking about this, she felt a strange sense of grievance welled up inside her.

Yang Tianbao: This little girl is really stubborn!
But thinking about it, it's normal. Girls this age are prone to having all sorts of random thoughts when they're doing anything.

She's very thin-skinned.

Sometimes they also like to get stuck on their own thoughts and get stuck on minor details.

"Hey, where did your necklace go? What did you get instead?"

While Zhao Jinmai was struggling with her decision, Yang Tianbao noticed with his sharp eyes that the style of her necklace had changed.

Zhao Jinmai rummaged around in his clothes and took out a small stone that was set into a necklace, with a little sheep carved on it.

"This was a gift from my older brother."

Yang Tianbao: Oh, your brother can't be Big Black Bull, can he?

Thank goodness it wasn't heart-shaped, or she would have burst out laughing.

But seeing Zhao Jinmai's serious and earnest expression, Yang Tianbao's smile quickly faded.

Wait, no way?
Sheep Charm: You can call me by another name here—Kapibala Summoner.

A gentle sheep can help your dreams come true.
"Ouch!"

Wu Moufan, who was not far away, suddenly shivered and then complained, "Why is the wind so strong?"

At this moment, Wilber Pan walked over and reminded us, "The production team said before that a typhoon is going to hit Japan. It will make landfall when we film the next episode. It seems to be a level 16 typhoon."

"A category 16 typhoon? That's so exaggerated! No wonder I feel chilly."

After learning the reason, Wu Moufan was relieved, since they were indoors and not afraid of any typhoon.

This thing doesn't affect them.

At this moment, encouraged by Yang Tianbao, Zhao Jinmai finally made a cross-border phone call.
