Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 434 She was talking about my words.

Actually, the reason why the first Starry Sea Young Actor Program became a gathering place for resource-backed actors is largely due to Bai Liang's influence.

The reason Wu Jing previously criticized him was: kicking the Beihai Kindergarten.

I'm so bored.

Because he went over to join in the fun, he attracted a group of resource-rich players who originally had no intention of showing up.

This indirectly led to a team-building activity for the younger generation of people with connections and backgrounds.

It's unlikely that the "Starry Sea" project will have such a lineup again, since everyone is quite busy.

At the same time, it also happened to coincide with this year's particularly special Golden Rooster Awards.

However, aside from its special significance, this year's event also had quite a few amusing moments.

Previously, the Golden Rooster Awards posters were often criticized for being "outdated," but this year, due to reforms, they directly solicited submissions online and interacted with netizens.

However, countless historical experiences tell us that if a prank option appears in an online poll, most people will choose it without hesitation.

When China's first domestically built aircraft carrier was launched, an online "I'll Name the Aircraft Carrier" campaign was launched, and "Pipi Shrimp" topped the list with over a million votes.

Previously, Weibo conducted a user gender survey with three options: "male," "female," and "Futa." The most popular choice was Futa.
If you don't want fishing to become the top option, the only way is not to make it an option at all, no matter how popular it is!
It was a rooster drawn with colored pencils, the strokes were simple, the appearance was strange, and the highlight was its eyes, which revealed a hint of unruliness in the absurdity.

This rooster with its disdainful gaze is so unique, so eye-catching, so contemporary art, standing out like a crane among a group of serious designs.

It stares at Chinese films with a scrutinizing gaze, its slightly mocking expression seeming to strike at the hearts of Chinese filmmakers.

When you gaze at a rooster, the rooster gazes back at you.

Imagine this: when all the major martial arts schools are locked in a decisive battle at Bright Peak, a masked man suddenly appears, beats the master to death with a flurry of punches, and no one can tell how deep his skill really is. Wouldn't that be the most satisfying scenario?

This strange chicken climbed all the way up to first place, far ahead of the crowd, becoming the "unrivaled leader" in the popular vote.

Unfortunately, the Golden Rooster Awards ultimately didn't use this, unlike the erhu egg used at the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games, where the organizers actually used it because everyone dared to vote for it!
-
The gathering of young actors for the "Starry Sea" talent program.

Zhao Jinmai, who came along with Bai Liang to join in the fun, was initially in a pretty good mood, having a wonderful feeling of going out to play with her brother.

As for the so-called "meeting with resource-rich people," which sounded like they were going to drag her into a fight, she naturally didn't take it too seriously.

Some of her girlfriends are among them!
After arriving, she had only wandered around twice, preparing to stick close to Bai Liang as his little shadow, when she was caught by her boss, Dong Zijian.
"MaiMai, what brings you here?"

When asked by her boss, Zhao Jinmai hesitated for a moment and said shyly, "My brother brought me here. We happen to be filming together."

Perfect timing? What a coincidence, isn't it?

Dong Zijian rolled his eyes helplessly, "You should just wait at the hotel for the Golden Rooster Awards tomorrow, why come here to join in the fun?"

These words displeased Zhao Jinmai!
In a fit of anger, he got angry.

She wouldn't actually argue with her boss, she just muttered, "Why can't I come?"

Dong Zijian really doesn't know how to explain this to her.

He could only vaguely reply, "You'll find out soon enough. Just stay by my side for a while."

"What?"

Dong Zijian didn't answer this question, but Zhao Jinmai quickly figured out why.
Just as Bai Liang finished exchanging pleasantries with some of the Golden Rooster Awards organizers and returned, Zhao Jinmai was about to shout "Brother, save me!" and ask him to take her away from the evil boss.

The very next second, a crisp, clear voice beat them to it!
"elder brother!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinmai froze on the spot. She was talking about my lines!
Then they saw Zhou Ye, who had just arrived, scurry up to Bai Liang and greet him with a big smile.

Hey~ isn't that the red-bellied puppy?

Zhou Ye previously gained immense fame for his "special skill" of instantly becoming a hot topic at the press conference for the filming of "Better Days".

In any case, Zhao Jinmai was recognized by her, and she was very impressed with her.

When she saw that trending topic, she was quite impressed, thinking, "Is her skin so smooth? How can it be so red?!"

However, at this moment, Zhou Ye looked like a happy little puppy. He ran up to Bai Liang, looked up at him with a bright and ingratiating expression on his face. He really looked like a little puppy.

Of course, Zhou Ye rushed forward a bit too aggressively. She quickly realized that her movement was too hard on her neck, and after realizing this, she took two steps back.

After taking two steps back, I felt that I had retreated too much, so I took one more step forward.

This bizarre maneuver of constantly tugging at oneself left everyone dumbfounded.

What is she doing?

It's worth noting that when the Starry Sea Young Actors Project gathered last time, many people's main impression of this rising starlet promoted by Hesong was that she was aloof and arrogant.

Back then, Zhou Ye mostly had a stern face, and he was as aloof as could be.

Unlike now, they're practically shaking hands and sticking out their tongues, like an enthusiastic little golden retriever.

So, it's just a movie, and it's been edited to this extent?

Some people couldn't help but secretly glance at Bai Liang with strange looks, muttering to themselves...
Bai Liang: This has nothing to do with me! I'm innocent!

He just had a normal relationship with Zhou Ye on the set of "Better Days". At most, he was nice to her, but he was nice to everyone and didn't treat this girl any special.

He didn't really have a clue how the other person had changed from a grumpy puppy to what they are now.

"Ono, straighten your face."

"Huh?" Zhou Ye didn't quite understand why, but she obediently did as she was told.

The moment his expression changed, his demeanor transformed completely!

"Sure enough, you look better like this. You looked so silly just now," Bai Liang said, rubbing his chin.

Of course, while a sour face might look better, it's advisable not to do that when facing the Sixth Princess, or you might get scolded.

"Brother, do you like me like this now?"

Zhou Ye was trying hard to keep her composure, which was actually a bit difficult, because she couldn't help but want to laugh whenever she saw Bai Liang.
Do you like it this way?

That sounds like a trap.
However, Bai Liang readily admitted, "I do like it more. Keep it up, and don't get arrogant."

To put it bluntly, her cold, disdainful look, like she was looking at trash, was quite anime-like.

Some of the more twisted players really enjoy this kind of look, especially when the other person is calling them trash while simultaneously stomping on them with a black sock.
Oh right, Bai Liang isn't that kind of pervert.

He said that entirely from the perspective of appreciating beauty.

The grumpy puppy is definitely better looking than the cheerful puppy, you could even say it's much better looking.

While the two were chatting and catching up, Zhao Jinmai couldn't resist any longer and was itching to start "Operation Protect Your Brother".

Fortunately, Dong Zijian was with her at this time.

"What?"

"I'll go over there."

"There are too many people over there, you should stay here with me for now," Dong Zijian advised.

Many people?

Zhao Jinmai's eyes widened. There were only two people, weren't there?

At that moment, her mind went blank, and she gave Dong Zijian a strange look. A useless piece of knowledge inexplicably popped into her head: she had heard that dogs could see things that humans couldn't.
Dong Zijian, however, didn't notice that Mai Mai was thinking about him in her mind. Instead, he added, "There will be more soon. Are you in a hurry?"

"Why should I be in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry at all!"

Tough talk.

Dong Zijian ignored her sophistry at all. "I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, you'll find out soon."

Zhao Jinmai, ruthlessly suppressed by her boss, could only watch Zhou Ye jumping around, completely baffled as to what Dong Zijian was trying to do.
Brother, he bullied me!
Dong Zijian suddenly shuddered, but luckily a figure passed by him at that moment.

"Look, here it comes."

"Who's coming?"

As soon as Zhao Jinmai looked up, she saw a tall and slender figure pass by her.

"Senior!" As the saying goes, there's always someone who can subdue another.

Zhou Ye, who had been jumping around happily, immediately became much more subdued after Chen Duling arrived.

She's not just restrained herself, she's even considering running away.

It's important to know that her "official wrap-up" in the film "Better Days" didn't mean the filming was finished.

Instead, it was after discovering that Chen Duling was secretly doing handicrafts for Bai Liang.
At that time, she was essentially "kicked out" of the production team by Chen Duling.

Chen Duling, who looked so scholarly and gentle, chased after her, lifting her skirt and "killing" her.

Fortunately, Zhou Ye eventually received forgiveness, on the condition that he keep the matter confidential.

However, meeting him again today has triggered Zhou Ye's memories of being relentlessly pursued, making him subconsciously a little timid.

Chen Duling, who had sweetly called out "Senior," couldn't help but puff out her cheeks after seeing Zhou Ye, that unlucky little dog. That day was the most embarrassing day of her life, all because of this little girl.

Zhou Ye: You two can't blame me for not locking the door, can you?

Chen Duling: Polite children know to knock before entering!
In short, the two were a little embarrassed when they met again, but they tacitly pretended that nothing had happened.

Bai Liang found the strange exchange of glances between the two rather amusing.

Did these two secretly reach some kind of agreement?
"Dudu, how come your hair grows so fast? Did you use hair growth tonic?"

Hearing this, Chen Duling's face darkened, and she couldn't help but stomp her foot. "Senior, don't mention this... wig~"

She said the word "wig" in a low voice, her cheeks flushed slightly after she finished speaking, and she even secretly glanced at the situation next to her.

After filming wrapped, the wig became an essential prop for her when she went out for work.

I reckon I'll have to wear it until next year.

As for her own hair, although it has grown out a bit, it's still like a puppy that's not quite grown up yet—it's in that awkward stage.
"Senior, are you free to have dinner together tonight?"

"Sure, but would you mind if other people came along?" Bai Liang readily agreed, but then asked.

At this moment, Zhou Ye's eyes lit up. Hey, she really does remember her! Yay!
Chen Duling glanced at Zhou Ye, the unlucky fellow. Although she was somewhat reluctant, she certainly wouldn't refuse Bai Liang's suggestion.

She would listen to whatever her senior said.

Before coming today, she even cut her nails shorter than they were done a few days ago.
As a top student, she is truly an excellent student. Even for some strange and unusual things, she is willing to work hard to study and improve.

They even bought props to practice with.
So that when they meet again, I can give Bai Liang a big surprise~
I just don't know if I'll have that opportunity this time?

Just then, a voice called out "Brother Liang," which gave Chen Duling goosebumps and made Zhou Ye's eyes widen.

Who is it? So disgusting!
Zhang Ruonan: Huh? I think it's alright~ I used to call him that in front of his mother.

However, when everyone turned to look, they almost burst out laughing.

What is she doing running over here?

Today isn't an event or a red carpet walk, so everyone is dressed casually, and not many girls are wearing high heels or anything like that.

Zhang Ruonan, dressed in sportswear, looked youthful and energetic.

But the way she jogged... she kept elbowing herself as she ran.
Man?!
No, it's Seven's human form!
Zhang Ruonan:? ? ?

Why does everyone seem to be laughing at me?
Although she was confused about the situation, she realized she might have done something stupid, so she quickly checked her clothes—nothing seemed wrong.
"You ran well, but I suggest you stop running in the future. You're better suited to being a static, beautiful girl," Bai Liang said, barely suppressing a laugh.

Zhang Ruonan immediately realized where the problem lay.

"Did I run strangely just now?"

"It's not a question of whether it's strange or not, it's that it's very special."

Bai Liang turned around and looked around, only to find that no one was taking pictures with their phones. He could only regret that he hadn't preserved the precious video footage.

However, some habits are hard to change, and she will most likely make the whole country happy in the future.

Zhang Ruonan: Oh no! The beautiful and energetic young woman I thought would make a stunning appearance has turned into a clown performance.

At this moment, whether it was Chen Duling or Zhou Ye, the way they looked at her was strange.

There seemed to be a tiny bit of hostility, but the main emotion was actually sympathy.

They looked at them like they were looking at a person with a cerebellar palsy.
Zhang Ruonan declared that she also wanted to achieve a high level of popularity!

Bai Liang: What's the panic? These two aren't much better off.

Wait for Chen Duling to dance and Zhou Ye to sing.

These girls each have their own embarrassing moments to reveal.

However, while we might embarrass ourselves in the future, we can certainly find amusement in Zhang Ruonan for now, since she provided such a huge source of laughter!
But their smugness didn't last long. Soon after, Zhang Jingyi arrived with a resentful look on her face. After politely greeting Bai Liang, she didn't say anything and just stared straight at the two of them.

The main focus is on Zhou Ye!

Is it you who messed up my character?

Zhou Ye: That was done by my company, okay? It was me! What are you going to do about it?

He simply puffed out his chest, which wasn't really anything special, but it certainly gave him a lot of presence.

At this moment, regardless of any "grudges" she might have with this unfortunate little dog, Chen Duling decisively stood by her side.

They acted together, so they're naturally on the same side as the "losers."

Two against one, an absolute advantage!
However, Zhang Jingyi said: You want to compete with our "Losers' Alliance" in terms of numbers?

Although they didn't have much of a relationship with each other, and could even be considered rivals, they shared a common "enemy" at this moment.

The most hated person on the scene today is Chen Duling. Who would have thought that she, who was eliminated early, would actually come back in the end?

So, where's the Emperor? Where's the little princess of the Beijing circle? And why isn't that other person coming out to form a team?!
Here it comes!
Although Zhang Jingyi wasn't exactly a leader, the girls responded very enthusiastically to her "call" at that moment.

Sisters, let's go for it!

Let's tear it apart!
Bai Liang: It seems the rivalry among the young ladies is about to begin!
However, he didn't expect that he had seemingly started the conflict among this generation of young actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry.
"Brother Xiaobai, long time no see." After strolling over, Cunzi didn't forget to give Bai Liang a bright smile, as if she didn't care at all that she hadn't become the female lead.

Mmm, it still tastes the same as before, so refreshing.

Then it was Li Gengxi; she seemed to have just gone out and lit a cigarette.
This girl is quite "discerning".

She actually arrived quite early, and greeted Bai Liang well in advance, even inviting him: "Teacher Bai, how about a couple of puffs?"
Although Bai Liang didn't smoke it, he had one in his pocket right now.
There's no way around it; we're all about being gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest. Whether you can smoke or not, you have to accept the invitation, otherwise it's considered disrespectful.

One, two, three, four.
Zhao Jinmai stood blankly next to Dong Zijian, watching her brother being gradually surrounded by the young ladies, feeling dizzy.

So she wasn't the only good sister?

How many good sisters do you have?!

Upon seeing this, Dong Zi said he wanted to say a few words on Liang Ge's behalf. Although there were quite a few young girls present, Zhao Jinmai's treatment was truly unique.

He didn't let the little girl get close, mainly because he was afraid she would get hurt.

The competition was so intense last time, these girls are definitely not going to stay calm this time.

It could very well turn into a fight on the spot!
Why did Zhao Jinmai go over there? Was she going to be a target? What they were fighting over had nothing to do with her, so there was no need for her to get involved.

Zhao Jinmai: Oh, I see~
She was certainly aware of the "Better Days" melee incident, but she didn't expect them to be fighting so blatantly.

It looked like they were about to start a fight right there.

"They won't actually start fighting, will they?" Zhao Jinmai was already starting to worry about Bai Liang's safety.

Dong Zijian scratched his head. "It's not that bad, and besides, not everyone has arrived yet."

"Not everyone's here yet?!"

Of course, not everyone was there; the most important person always arrives last!

The moment she appears, the entire auditorium will whisper her name.
To be precise, it's an honorific title!

"Sister Meng!"
