Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 432 Having you is my blessing~
Bai Liang never expected that Zha's question, "Did you do this?" would have a follow-up.

After he returned to the set of "The Age of Awakening" to film, Wu Moufan's matter gradually came to a close.

He didn't collapse or withdraw from the net; he was simply caught.

This old guy is basically just waiting to be sentenced. Pulling up the radish brings out the mud; a whole bunch of things have been uncovered, and he can't escape more than ten years.

However, the impact of this incident was not just that the contestants in the entertainment industry should cherish their opportunities; instead, a strange rumor actually began to circulate.

It is said that Li Yifeng and Wu Moufan were both framed by Bai Liang.

As for the reasons, in both of these incidents, one can sense that Bai Liang's team was behind it all.

Actually, this reason is quite far-fetched. Although Yanzi did do it, they weren't the only ones who did it.

This is the fall of a top star!
Just think about the commotion when Fan Bingbing "fell"—a whole bunch of people were waiting for her to "fall like a whale."

The downfall of a top influencer allows many others to profit from the situation.

The fact that three artists have fallen in the past two years is like a feast for those artists who haven't been negatively impacted or implicated.

A feast for the eyes!

In essence, it's not much different from hyenas sharing food.

It's fair to say that as soon as the situation between these two people was exposed, a lot of people were hoping for their "death".

The team led by Bai Liang is definitely not the only ones who have participated in two consecutive limited-time "Fallen" events.

The reason the swallow was "caught" was simply because she was too conspicuous.

To be precise, Bai Liang's target was too big.

I don't know which unscrupulous person had the brilliant idea to spread such a rumor.

They might be trying to incite these two's "remnant fans" to attack Bai Liang.
After all, wasn't there talk of storming the execution ground?

Brainless fans will say anything.
To be honest, even when these two were at their peak, they couldn't beat Bai Liang. Now, in their current state, those remaining followers don't even need Bai Liang's fans to lift a finger; ordinary netizens could easily crush them.

"Actually, quite a few people took advantage of the chaos to do dirty work before, so why are they targeting us? Brother Xiaobai, you have no idea how lively it was back then. I found at least seven or eight teams involved, as if they were afraid Wu Moufan wasn't completely finished."

"Are any of his former teammates?" Bai Liang suddenly asked curiously.

"It's hard to say, but there should be some."

Yanzi regretfully said that she was so focused on swinging the hammer that she didn't even notice who else was swinging it at the same time.

All I know is that there are a lot of hammers, they're practically leaving afterimages when they're swung.

However, Yanzi mainly wanted to ask whether we should debunk some of the myths surrounding this thing.

It's fine if it's just spread within the circle; it can also deter petty people.

But now that people online are saying this, it feels like it will damage Bai Liang's always gentle and harmless image.

Of course, how exactly to proceed depends on Bai Liang's own decision.

Actually, having a slightly more imposing image, with a bit of toughness and a "don't mess with me" vibe, isn't a problem.

Yanzi had studied the public opinion trend. After all, one of them was indeed breaking the law and the other was committing a crime. Even if the internet rumored that Bai Liang was behind it, people would just applaud and cheer, and it wouldn't have too much of a negative impact.

"That's why I'm here!"

With a deafening roar, Little Water makes her dazzling entrance!
"The editor-in-chief is here again to personally conduct an exclusive interview?" Bai Liang said with a smile.

Xiao Shui chuckled, "This might be the last time the editor-in-chief will interview you."

"Huh? You're quitting this line of work?"

What I mean is, the next person to do an exclusive interview with you should be the vice president!

That's awesome!
Bai Liang gave her a thumbs up, "You can't be the one presenting the awards to me at the Weibo Night awards ceremony, can you?"

"Then why don't you talk to the Sina board of directors and ask Mr. Jia to give up his position to me?"

"Great! I think you'd definitely do a better job than him. Why don't we just go for it right away? What do you think of Lao Cao's position?"

"I've been eyeing his chairman's position for a long time!"

"."

One dares to speak and the other dares to respond.

The two then began discussing how to oust the current Weibo CEO, Jia Zong, so that Xiao Shui could take over.

They even coveted the positions of Sina's chairman and CEO.

Zhao Jinmai: Is this something I can hear?
She came to the set of "Awakening Age" today to report for duty. After arriving, she didn't see Bai Liang. After asking around, she found out that he was being interviewed by Sina in his RV. So she curiously came over.

There was nothing shameful about the interview, and the car was spacious enough that Bai Liang told her to find a place to stay and play on the computer for a while.

Mai Mai was very well-behaved and didn't touch Bai Liang's computer, lest she accidentally see something private.

They just sat there obediently, eating their snacks and waiting.

As a result, she heard such a "horrifying" topic.

A plot to seize power?!

My brother is really amazing.
This reminded Zhao Jinmai of some things that her boss, Dong Zijian, and her agent had specifically asked about and instructed her before she came.

It was also thanks to that rumor.

In fact, besides the fact that Yanzi's actions and movements were noticed, the situation before those two top celebrities got into trouble was also one of the pieces of evidence that "Bai Liang took action".

Li Yifeng had just made a dirty trick on Bai Liang, and his team was trying to sabotage him, but then his career collapsed; Wu Moufan's case is even more obvious this time. They already had a grudge against each other, and then they suddenly ended up recording the same variety show.

It's either love or hate!

Some fujoshi (female fans of male-male romance) who ship anything are quite interested in shipping this unusually bizarre pairing, but most people generally believe that Bai Liang is probably just looking for trouble.

Otherwise, there's no reason for him to act so crazy. Why would he go on Wu Moufan's show and attack the main guest?

That program was just created by iQiyi and hasn't aired yet. He said he was there to promote it, but he was actually promoting a Youku project.

This whole thing seems really weird, which explains why conspiracy theories are so prevalent.

Zhao Jinmai, on the other hand, was unaware of the situation, but on the other hand, she knew better than anyone else what was going on.

Bai Liang was the one she sought out.

After learning about the situation, her agent and Dong Zijian remained silent for a long time, and their gazes towards Zhao Jinmai became somewhat strange.

Little girl, because you felt harassed at work, you hired someone to take down a top celebrity?
Is this the plot?

Zhao Jinmai herself felt that there was something wrong with what she said, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she reluctantly admitted it.

Young girls, after all, have a tiny bit of vanity.

Dong Zijian: Holy crap! I knew it! This master is amazing!
Therefore, the increasing prevalence of "rumors" is partly due to the spread of this thing.

After he even "figured out" the logic himself, he gave Zhao Jinmai a reverse hair wash.

The result of washing her hair was that a scene that little girls love most immediately formed in her mind: a hero saving a damsel in distress!
And sure enough, the way she looked at Bai Liang just now... something seemed off.
At this point, Xiao Shui finally stopped rambling with Bai Liang about "plotting to seize power."

After all, it would be quite difficult for her to pull Jia Zong down.

Besides, she hasn't been able to help Da Tian Tian become the group leader yet, so Xiao Shui said she has to finish this job first.

With things settled over there and her promoted to vice president, she could now consider trying a "major rebellion."

As for now, let's do the interviews first!
Xiao Shui has done quite a few interviews with Bai Liang. Usually, they start by talking about some conventional topics, and then move on to more unconventional ones.

The former is the most normal content when many media outlets do exclusive interviews. She is no different from other media outlets; she has a script.

But when the editor-in-chief intervenes, he always manages to chat with Bai Liang about some strange and unusual things.

For example, this time, Xiao Shui directly brought up the rumor that has been circulating widely in the entertainment industry recently.

In other words, did Bai Liang actually get those two top celebrities arrested?

Even Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but prick up her ears, eager to hear Bai Liang's answer.

Yes or no.

Bai Liang: Or.

Between denying the rumors and admitting them, he chose to give people something to talk about during their leisure time.

"This matter is actually quite interesting. It doesn't meet the criteria for needing to be refuted, and it doesn't have a particularly big impact on me. If people like to make up their own ideas and imaginations, as long as they don't go too far, it's fine to have some fun."

Xiao Shui: Hmph! You've gone bad~ You're actually using such ambiguous language.

In fact, as far as she knew, both of these things started out a bit strangely, and the speed at which they progressed was also far too fast. It felt as if there was an invisible hand pushing them from the shadows.

But if we have to say what the connection is with Bai Liang, his team was just doing their job. In the entertainment industry, which artist's team wouldn't help their rival when they're down on their luck?

It was just a convenient thing to do.

Some people might even pop champagne in public.

So, in essence, these things shouldn't have much to do with Bai Liang, but... it's just too coincidental.

In this era where conspiracy theories abound, insisting that everything is a coincidence just feels like treating everyone like fools.

There aren't that many coincidences.

However, Bai Liang's attitude towards this was: "Go ahead and chatter, it's fine, I accept it all."

Love what you do!
Since they are public figures, this can be considered one of their "job duties".

"Wow, you're so open-minded," Xiao Shui couldn't help but exclaim, then added, "Is that why you have so many rumors about yourself but never clarify them?"

"There's no need to be so greedy in life."

"greedy?"

"When you release a work, you have to make the audience 'sweet' (romantic) and then avoid suspicion and maintain a single persona." Halfway through his sentence, Bai Liang paused for a moment, "You've become naughty too, are you setting me up? Was I just satirizing someone?"

Xiao Shui, suppressing a laugh, said, "It's okay, a stone hitting a dog makes it bark, what are you afraid of?"

"We shouldn't cause too much trouble for innocent colleagues."

You're a really nice person~
However, Xiaoshui concluded that: you can't have it all.

She felt she had distilled the central idea of ​​the interview.

Why do the wealthy always like to promote their resilience and simplicity? Because they want both the status of wealth and the public's praise for the hard work and frugality of the poor.
Many celebrities have this bad habit: they earn so much, yet they want others to think they're being wronged.
Some of them are so abstract that they can even go to the grassroots people and complain about their hardships.

The fans are really showing their concern!
To paraphrase a line from a TV drama: You're just a maid, don't you feel sorry for yourself? You feel sorry for your master who lives a life of luxury.

That being said, Bai Liang doesn't seem to have put on any act in this regard.

What nonsense about harsh conditions! He can't stand any hardship. He never compromises himself and drives a luxury RV wherever he goes.

Some marketing accounts did use this thing to make a point before, but unfortunately it was all for naught.

Fans will throw Bai Liang's exaggerated annual donation figures in his face, saying that the "Great Immortal" earns a lot, donates a lot, and doesn't evade taxes, so what's wrong with enjoying himself?
Unity of knowledge and action?

Xiao Shui thought about it and decided to delete the word; she felt it was too damn likely to attract negative attention.

However, she paused for a moment at the end. Damn it, Bai Liang, that scoundrel, still hadn't revealed whether those two were his doing or not.

His single "or" really steered the conversation off-topic, allowing him to gloss over the issue.

Xiao Shui suddenly felt a little wronged. After knowing her for so long, how could he still treat her so perfunctorily?
She won't report anything that's bad for Bai Liang.
It really hurt her feelings, this "little girl".

Just then, Xiao Shui's phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and saw that Bai Liang had sent her a text message.

The content consists of only one word.

Yes.

It didn't say what it was; it was as if this answer was given out of thin air.

At this moment, Bai Liang on the other end of the phone seemed to have guessed Xiao Shui's feelings.

The answer itself isn't important; having such an answer is what matters.

Xiao Shui, who had just been frowning and looking a little aggrieved, stared at the text message for a while before bursting out laughing.

Yeah, he always manages to guess it.
Then she reached up and tied her hair into a high ponytail, put down her phone, and continued working on her laptop.

Seeing her beautiful profile, which showed a variety of emotions, her colleague couldn't help but think of the discussions within the department about this young editor-in-chief.

Xiao Shui, who is almost thirty years old, is still unmarried and doesn't even have a boyfriend.

Her colleagues usually speculate about what kind of man their beautiful editor-in-chief wants. Is it because she is so good in every way that she can't stand anyone?

In contrast, there is another rumor, which is naturally related to Bai Liang.

After all, every time Sina gives Bai Liang an exclusive interview, it's Xiao Shui who goes there personally; he's the only one who gets this treatment.

It's hard not to make people overthink it.
Over the years, the once naive young girl has transformed into a mature and sophisticated career woman, exuding a cool and aloof elite aura, truly a high-and-mighty beauty.

But every time Bai Liang is interviewed, she seems to still be that same carefree little girl who secretly sets traps for him.
-
"elder brother!"

Putting down his phone and looking at the real young girl in front of him, Bai Liang asked, "What's wrong?"

"My boss said..."

Zhao Jinmai chattered away, telling Bai Liang everything about how Dong Zijian had "washed" her hair.

And she blinked her big eyes, looking at him with a mixture of admiration and other emotions.

Upon hearing this, Bai Liang frowned and said, "Your boss is a complete idiot. You actually believe what he says? Wait a minute, let me settle some scores with him first."

Hey?
After Bai Liangzhen found Dong Zijian's contact information and made a call, Zhao Jinmai immediately felt that something was strange.

Dong Zijian: Mai Mai, having you is my blessing~
He was unlucky, having only made a slight inference based on Zhao Jinmai's account, and added a "tiny bit" of subjective conjecture.

Then Bai Liang ripped him off!
They euphemistically called it: compensation for the mental distress caused by spreading rumors, and compensation for comforting the girl who was upset because of his nonsense with Zhao Jinmai.

This barrage of banging left Dong Zijian dizzy and confused, and he transferred the money in a daze.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late; Bai Liang was incredibly fast at collecting money.

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

"Hey, we've got enough money for all the meals we've had while you were on set. Your boss is on the bill." Bai Liang handed the money to Zhao Jinmai, indicating that she would be in charge of making arrangements for the rest of the time.

Zhao Jinmai, who was suddenly "entrusted with an important task," felt quite pressured.
How did I suddenly become such a "leader"? But this feeling of taking on responsibility and being trusted is really great!

Seeing Zhao Jinmai enthusiastically researching nearby restaurants, Bai Liang smiled slightly. He really knew how to raise a child.

However, Dong Zijian's "friendship fee" was only the first one.

Perhaps because his former teammate had suddenly "exploded like fireworks," Lu Han couldn't help but contact Bai Liang.

Dude, did you do it to him? If so, you can't mess with me now, we're good friends.

Right, Liang-ge?
Then they took care of all of Bai Liang's meals for the next month.

But after paying the "friendship fee," he still didn't get any clear answer and felt like he had been ripped off.

Because after he transferred the money, Bai Liang said it was thanks to the police officer that he received this answer.

"MaiMai, the money's here."

"Huh? What money is there this time?"

"Zhang Yixing just said he'd treat me to dinner, but I told him to pay in cash. I'm too lazy to eat with him, let's just eat together~"

Even this little lamb from Changsha couldn't resist. Although he hadn't had much interaction with Bai Liang, they had acted together before.

Although Bai Liang almost completely cut out his scenes in "Ming Dynasty".

Zhao Jinmai was about to lose her temper. How many times had this happened already?
She felt that even if her brother didn't act, he could live a very comfortable life just by collecting "friendship fees".

"Hmm, this should be the last one, but wait, another one is coming!"

Who is it this time?

"Wang Jia'er said that he was asked to be a substitute for 'Fourtry' and that you will be recording the show with him later."

Since Wu Moufan has already committed suicide, the footage recorded in the previous episodes, except for the two episodes featuring Bai Liang and Ni Ni, is basically unusable.

The production team was unable to secure a schedule with Bai Liang, so they had no choice but to find a substitute.

It was quite a coincidence that Wang Jia'er, who had brought a group of Korean boy bands to create a "loyalty!" effect for Bai Liang at that Korean award ceremony, came into their sights.

The conditions are quite suitable in all aspects.

From this perspective, the kid's action of taking the lead in standing up and bowing was definitely worthwhile.

The show "Fourtry" is already a hit even before it airs.

With all factors in place, it's hard to say whether Wu Moufan's "sudden death" was a negative or positive impact.

In some ways, his death seems to have been more useful than his continued activity in the entertainment industry.

As a result, Zhao Jinmai had a slight psychological shadow, thinking to herself, "Another one from a Korean boy band?"
Hmph! If he had any bad habits, I would have complained about him right away this time!
Wang Jia'er, who was still abroad at the time, suddenly shuddered and took another look at the guest lineup of the show "Fourtry".

Based on the "rumors" circulating in the industry, he quickly made a decision.

It doesn't matter about the others, but I have to treat Zhao Jinmai like a princess, while also keeping a certain distance. I need to find the right balance.

Whether it's true or false, he'll treat it as if it's real!
