Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 440 The Long-Awaited "Muse" (Bonus Chapter)

"Brother, brother, wake up!"

"what?"

After Bai Liang opened his eyes, he stared at the person in front of him for a moment, and then closed his eyes again.

He muttered to himself, "Impossible~"

How did that plump and soft older sister turn into a little girl after sleeping for a while?
He must still be dreaming, or maybe he woke up in the wrong way. Go back to sleep, wake up again~
"Get up! You lazybones!"

Zhao Jinmai's voice completely woke Bai Liang up. He rubbed his head and thought to himself, "Wow, she really did make a miracle."

"MaiMai, what are you doing in my room? I'm going to tell your mom."

"How old are you! All you do is tattle. I came in with your door open, and it's not like I was alone."

At this moment, Bai Liang realized that there were quite a few people in his room.

Of course, it's the assistants.

We're packing his things right now; he should be heading to the airport soon.

"Sorry, sorry, I took a nap. You didn't do anything naughty while I was sleeping, did you?"

That's a good question!
Zhao Jinmai immediately gave herself away, her face flushed, and she quickly denied it, "No, no."

At this moment, Da Pao, who was standing to the side, hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped. He had seen it when he came in.
Fortunately, Bai Liang didn't ask any further questions. He was worried that the little girl might have really done something bad, so he decided to just pretend she hadn't.

"You're not going to the same place as me, are you? Why are you still waiting for me here?"

"The flights are different, but the departure times are around the same, so it's normal for us to go to the airport together."

"Makes sense."

This can be considered the last day of "taking care of the child" for this stage. Bai Liang has always been very patient in this regard.

However, when it was time for the two to part, the little girl couldn't hold back her emotions.

Crying and whining.

Having no other option, Bai Liang promised her that after her college entrance exams, he would take her to experience some aspects of youth.
That's what he said, but no one knows what Zhao Jinmai imagined. In the end, she didn't say anything, just moved her lips, and ran away with a red face.

Bai Liang: What is she imagining this time?
It can't be that I'm just imagining scenes from those youth movies. The things depicted in those movies aren't what a normal person's youth is like.

Even Bai Liang, who has always been incredibly popular with the opposite sex since childhood, has gone into the woods with female classmates many times, but none of them had the melodramatic plots seen in those youth movies.

Today, news about the Golden Rooster Awards has dominated the headlines of major entertainment media outlets.

Overall, the evaluation was quite good, with various news media unanimously agreeing that it was a very well-organized, fair, and objective event.

One keyword that's quite interesting is that the Chinese entertainment industry has regained its voice.

Because this year's Golden Horse Awards were a disaster, completely lacking their former glory, and with the withdrawal of support from the domestic entertainment industry, they were reduced to a makeshift operation.

This also lets the other side know who the real boss is.

The one who owns the market is the boss.

The influence and authority of an award must be built upon a sufficiently prosperous market.

At the same time, Bai Liang also inexplicably became a kind of proof. After comparing the market, it's natural to compare the new talents that the market can nurture.

This time, we also brought Hong Kong into the conversation. Come on, Hong Kong and Taiwan, what amazing new talents do you have there?

In the domestic entertainment industry, Bai Liang is the only one who stands out, so you can play your cards however you want.

Honestly, netizens are starting to find this unacceptable; it's just too much of a bullying tactic.

Just because Bai Liang shamelessly tries to mingle among newcomers doesn't mean we should treat him as a new actor.

Your new actor is the number one film in the Chinese entertainment industry at the box office?
Even across all of Asia, there is only one monster like him.

Netizens are more interested in discussing: When will Bai Liang finally win his first major Best Actor award?

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this guy might win his third Weibo Best Actor award next year.

Is he truly the top-grossing actor in the Chinese entertainment industry right now, with his biggest label being "Weibo Film Emperor"?
Of course, it turns out that the Weibo Best Actor award does have some merit.

I don't know what this big director Chen Kaige is up to, he recently took on a variety show.

It's called something like "Actors, Please Take Your Seats".

When criticizing other actors on that platform, they actually used Bai Liang as an example, giving off a feeling of how other people's children are so great.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Bai Liang was his son, and Arthur was someone picked up from a trash can.

The production team naturally didn't cut anything, successfully creating buzz and piquing the interest of netizens.

"Is the Master going to be on this show? I've observed the celestial phenomena last night and done some calculations, and I have a feeling it'll be in the next episode~"

"Bullshit about observing the night sky. With 'The Longest Day in Chang'an' going to air, the 'master' will indeed be appearing on some shows. Isn't that what's been happening for the past few years, except for 'Divas Hit the Road 3'?"

"Indeed, if there are no projects being released or broadcast, this guy basically won't go on variety shows. Every time he appears on a variety show, it basically means that there is another project coming soon."

"Can't wait! It's a movie with Brother Xizi~ I wonder how well he acts."

"Where are Xizi's fans? Are they going to fight over billing order? Let me state my position first: if you're fighting over billing order with Daxian, I'll definitely help you. There's no other reason than to support Daxian."

"Help, help, definitely help! I've been annoyed with Da Xian for a long time, and no one has been able to promote him yet. As long as Brother Xizi starts the battle for top billing, I'll go and help him out no matter what."

"."

So netizens are really wicked; they've started entrapment schemes.

They actually tricked people into fighting over billing order, and I wonder how many of Bai Liang's fans are just pretending to be fans.

And some of Xizi's fans actually fell for it. Some of them actually organized themselves in the super topic, acting as if they wanted to fight for their idol's success.

This move almost scared Xizi's team to death. Damn! Even the haters don't hate him this much! Are you trying to kill him?
Sometimes you can't help but wonder what the IQ of a certain group of fans really is. It's obvious that those Kapibals are just bored and starting to have fun.

If they actually charge in, these seemingly cute guys could turn into man-eating tigers in the next second.

For Xi Zi's first acting role, he immediately sought out the most aggressive person to fight for top billing?

That's not how you seek thrills.
His team seemed afraid of any misunderstandings, and even issued a statement saying they wouldn't fight over billing order, that Xizi was the second lead, and asked fans to respect Teacher Bai and the production team, blah blah blah.

Kapibals: Boring, is that all? You guys have three little ones, and the combined fan count of those three is twice that of Bai Liang! You don't even dare to make a move?
"Online? I haven't checked Weibo these past two days. Why did you call me about something so small? See you on the show."

"Who is it?" Ni Ni asked curiously as she sat in front of Bai Liang.

"It's Brother Xizi. He said some fans are being irrational, so he came to say hello to me."

"Oh dear, young people have no vigor at all. I remember you started fighting with so-and-so right away. How impressive was that!" Ni Ni said with a grin, trying to stir things up.

"He's already in jail, you really don't want to let him go~"

"You didn't let him off the hook either!"

Bai Liangren is currently visiting the set of "The Golden Years," and at the same time, he's trying to seduce Ni Ni.

I just got scolded by Chen Daoming, who said something like, "I've never seen anyone visit a set like this before!"
That makes sense. Visiting the set and getting lured away by the female lead sounds a bit strange.

Dong Zijian's eyes were even more resentful, after all, Bai Liang was trying to abduct his wife.

Of course, he wasn't trying to seduce his real-life wife, but rather Ni Ni, his on-screen wife in the drama.

To be honest, Bai Liang was quite surprised when he first learned about this.

Are Ni Ni and Dong Zijian playing a couple?

Something felt off. It wasn't him cricketing behind my back, buddy. Okay, he was cricketing, but right in front of me.

Liang Ge always speaks ill of people to their faces!

In comparison, Ni Ni seems to have more chemistry with Chen Daoming, even when they stand together.

In response, Dong Zijian remarked, "The two of them do seem to have something in common, although there's no obvious romantic storyline."

In short, the scenes between Zhu Suosuo, played by Ni Ni, and Ye Jinyan, played by Chen Daoming, were indeed a bit ambiguous and crossed the line.

The drama portrays Ye Jinyan as seeing a reflection of her daughter in Zhu Suosuo; the premise is a father-daughter relationship, so whether you believe it or not is up to you. Meanwhile, because Chen Daoming played the role of Ye Jinyan, the actual male leads of the show were incredibly unlucky—it was like a complete disaster!
Dong Zijian couldn't help but ask Bai Liang, "How did you manage to keep Dao Ming in check in 'Joy of Life'?"

"Suppress it? I didn't suppress it. Just play your role well. Acting isn't about competing."

"That makes sense," but Dong Zijian felt that something was not quite right, perhaps due to some objective reasons.

Let alone acting, even in real life, Bai Liang standing there doesn't make people feel overshadowed by Chen Daoming at all; in fact, he can even subtly overshadow him!
Dong Zijian was utterly astonished when he first discovered this.
Is it really that exaggerated to call someone the number one of the new generation?!

To be honest, Dong Zijian had never seemed this over-the-top when he acted with Bai Liang before. Has this guy improved or is he just getting stronger when facing stronger opponents?

He tried hard to recall the scenes when Bai Liang and Deng Chao acted together, and it seemed that he had never been at a disadvantage.
Bai Liang had no idea what Dong Zijian was thinking. He had watched a scene of Ni Ni playing Zhu Suosuo on set and felt that the role was really suitable for her.

Zhu Suosuo firmly held the man's gaze!
So, is Liu Shishi really the lead actress in this TV series?

What kind of performance would she have to deliver to overshadow such a perfect role for Ni Ni?
Ni Ni: Let me tell you a secret, she can't suppress me, I'll suppress her instead!
She's going to fight for top billing! Once the drama airs, she's definitely going to fight for top billing!

Liu Shishi: Really? I'm here, sister.

Then she looked at Bai Liang, a smile spreading across her face: You still dare to come?
Ni Ni looked left and right, a smile creeping onto her face, and began to gloat.

The look in Bai Liang's eyes clearly said: I'm taking you in!

Unfortunately, Liu Shishi arrived a little late.

He had just caught Bai Liang and was already about to leave with Ni Ni.

So Liu Shishi didn't have time to "spar" with Bai Liang; she just glared at him fiercely and said, "WeChat QR code!"

Bai Liang naturally cooperated obediently, letting the other party scan the code.

After the sweeping was finished, Liu Shishi felt better. Although she didn't know why she kept thinking about it, it really felt like she had fulfilled a wish.

Even if she adds Bai Liang as a good friend, she doesn't really have anything to talk about with him. It's like a primary school student trying to expand their social circle.

Just as Liu Shishi was making fun of herself, she suddenly discovered a blind spot.

At this point, Bai Liang and Ni Ni had already left the "Golden Years" crew for more than ten minutes.

However, that little bastard still didn't accept her friend request!

Liu Shishi: ? ? ?

Oh no! She still has to worry about it.

Bai Liang: Liu Shishi, who has been married and had children, looks much better than before.
The label that Liu Shishi used to have was "gentle and refined like a chrysanthemum".

The moment we met today, her intellectual and elegant aura seemed to overflow.

It seems that her charm has increased significantly since she became a wife and mother.

Bai Liang: Then we definitely can't add her as a friend, for fear that Liu Shishi won't be able to control herself.

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, he seems to be quite popular with the kids' mothers lately.
It doesn't matter if they're divorced, but it's not okay if they're still married.

Even Ni Ni praised him for his courage!
Of course, her full words were: If you have the guts, then never accept her friend request for the rest of your life.

"Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years," Bai Liang suddenly said.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Actually, anyone who has worked in sales knows that the best way to add someone on WeChat is not to scan their QR code and send a friend request, but to let them scan your QR code when they are too embarrassed to refuse in person."

Bai Liang paused for a moment, then said, "Here are some tips for adding friends. You can write them down if you need to."

"No wonder you're so popular, you're so good at it!" Ni Ni exclaimed.

Bai Liang shook his head. "These are all tricks girls use to deal with me. They've learned from experience."

In response, Ni Ni flicked her middle finger.
-
The show "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" is produced by Tencent.

Yes, the first stop for promotion was indeed this program.

After Chen Kaige mentioned Bai Liang's name, he was indeed "summoned".

It feels like a shaman invoking a spirit.
Of course, the real reason was that Director Chen created the topic and trending searches first, and when the two sides met, they felt that they couldn't waste this popularity, so they arranged it after a little communication.

Tencent doesn't mind Bai Liang promoting Youku's web dramas.

Ni Ni has now gotten used to following Bai Liang around everywhere, but she's no longer going on Youku variety shows to promote the drama.

However, it seems that Brother Xizi is not very familiar with him yet.

The promotional lineup for "The Longest Day in Chang'an" on "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" consisted of four people.

Bai Liang, Ni Ni, Xi Zi Ge, plus Zhou Yiwei.

Originally, there was no need to trouble Zhou Yiwei to come, but the show "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" has a total of four mentors, each leading a team.

It was difficult to divide among three people in the past.

Four people are just right. Each person will go to one of the mentors' groups and be their guest performer.

Before going, Bai Liang naturally checked the lineup of mentors and students.

I spotted some familiar faces.

For example, Zhao Yanzi's group actually had Chen Yao, and Chen Kaige's group had Zhu Xudan.

Unfortunately, both of them were eliminated in the last episode.
Fortunately, Bai Liang and Niu Junfeng from Chen Kaige's group have a pretty good relationship. The two have acted together in "Love O2O" and "Princess Agents".

Also an acquaintance.

Normally, he would definitely be going to Chen Kaige's group.

After all, Director Chen specifically named him, and he's being used to provoke the other trainees.
In this situation, even if Bai Liang didn't want to show off, he would have to go all out.

His own face and Chen Kaige's face were now intertwined, so naturally they had to team up and launch a joint attack!
Let's give these "little brats" a mini-Best Actor award on Weibo!

However, Director Chen seemed to be repeating his old habits, or perhaps he was overconfident in his "status," because he insisted on selecting people by drawing lots.

then
Welcome to our group!

Guo Xiaosi's face was practically twisted with laughter! He didn't know what happened either; it just twitched like that, oh dear!
The "muse" he had been longing for all this time finally came into his life.

Although it was just a collaboration on a TV show, once is never enough.

Even though the notebook he had given to Bai Liang was rejected, Guo Xiaosi was not discouraged. If it didn't work this time, there would be another time.

As long as he's still a director in the entertainment industry, and Bai Liang is still in the industry, a collaboration is only a matter of time.

Although it's unclear where his inexplicable confidence comes from, it manifests as the fact that everyone originally thought Chen Kaige was Bai Liang's biggest braggart, but now it turns out that Guo Xiaosi is the one who's hiding the biggest braggart.

He really wanted to brag!

That smile was like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.

Because the other person's gaze was so intense, Bai Liang subconsciously took a step back.

After all, I heard that this director seems to like... um~
Fortunately, the other person was still somewhat aware of their own limitations; they were only enthusiastic in their words and had a burning gaze, but there was no physical contact.

However, Bai Liang also felt as if he had been subjected to increased intensity!
Although Director Chen loves reciting poetry, he is also quite talented.

Bai Liang had a very pleasant collaboration with him, so he felt that it would be quite easy to put on a show and act cool in a variety show with him.

After all, Chen Kaige is quite good at showing off, so it wouldn't be difficult for the two of them to create a "spectacular" moment on this variety show stage.

But Guo Jingming and Bai Liang are currently preoccupied with "Tiny Times," as if the words "Lin Xiao, your insults are really sophisticated now" are echoing in their minds.

Why don't we call Yang Mi and ask her what Guo Jingming's level is?
However, the situation wasn't much better for Brother Xizi after he fell into Director Chen's hands.

Chen Kaige: Young man, you acted with Bai Liang? Then you must be very brave, right? Let me see~
Brother Xi suddenly felt immense pressure. He was just there to record a program and promote his TV series, so why was he suddenly being put under pressure by the famous director?

He was even considering calling Arthur to ask his father what to do.

Unfortunately, he didn't have Arthur's contact information, since the two didn't like each other.
