Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 442 One Initiative Leads to a Lifelong Introversion

Like Jin Jing, Bai Liang is not a professionally trained actor.

However, his knowledge of acting is so vast that even film school teachers might not be able to match him, let alone the average professionally trained actor.

Reading is good!

The book has its own house of gold, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.

He has truly put these two sentences into practice, making them completely concrete.

Although he wasn't sure how much of an effect it had, Bai Liang always felt that even if he didn't read those books on acting or study them specifically, he probably wouldn't be that bad, at most his path would just be different.

However, because he had read a lot of learning materials, Bai Liang had actually summarized a set of acting methodologies when he was bored.

Of course, it's the kind of thing he himself doesn't need at all.

Because it's not a typical methodology.

It's a very strange, quick-fix method.

In a cultivation world, a professionally trained actor would be a disciple of a righteous sect, with varying degrees of talent; an actor from a self-taught background would be a ruthless individual who has fought their way up from the vast sea of ​​unaffiliated cultivators, relying mainly on talent and mental fortitude; and beyond these, there are actually some other strange and unusual things.
For example, taking drugs before starting a project, or using oneself as a tool for crafting weapons—these are heretical practices.

Whether it would work or not, Bai Liang wasn't sure, because he had never used it before.

Anyway, it won't kill anyone.

This methodology has clearly found a perfect fit for it.

Jin Jing, a variety show personality who didn't graduate from a professional acting school, didn't mind teaming up with Bai Liang to do some tech and stunts.

Even after Bai Liang gave her a brief introduction, the girl's eyes lit up!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get the kids training!" Jin Jing almost yelled.

"This kind of unorthodox method requires external assistance. Don't worry, I'll have someone go buy it. Or, let's just order takeout; it seems faster."

Bai Liang and Jin Jing rubbed their hands together excitedly, their smiles looking rather strange.

Guo Jingming and the other two male actors standing next to him gave me a strange chill.

Why does it feel so chilly?
"Lemon, chili, bitter melon, mustard, popping sour candy, onion."

Armory display~
Just having these things there makes my eyelids twitch.

Jin Jing took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "Go for it!"

However, Bai Liang wouldn't just stand by and watch her suffer alone.

The methodology he proposed naturally involved "experimenting with various herbs" alongside others.

Otherwise it would seem like he was deliberately messing with people.

"Come on! Drink this bitter gourd, and we'll be brothers again in the next life!"

"Come! Today, let's taste a hundred herbs!"

After the toast, the two buried their heads in bitter melon and began to eat it, then made the same distorted faces again.

"Fuck."

Guo Xiaosi and the others were stunned, wondering if these two were really the same species as themselves.

Or is it that Bai Liang, the strongest young player, is really using this kind of method to act?
No wonder reputable sects all hate evil cultivators! This is practically cheating!

Of course, it was indeed very torturous for me.

It made people grin from ear to ear.

As for the effects being quick, it's not that fast; otherwise, why would we need to "taste hundreds of herbs"?

The goal is to find the one that best captures the character's feeling and emotions from among all these elements.
In essence, it's similar to recalling similar emotional experiences while filming, only this method is more direct and domineering.

"Brother, I think bitter melon is a good option. I just had a feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to, and it kind of tastes like that."

"That's true to some extent. Try to feel it more, to experience that bitter taste that comes from the bottom of your heart."

"I feel a bitter taste coming from my stomach."

"Then let's continue! Come on, try the wasabi!"

"Awesome!"

"."

The commotion these two made was more than just something that left Guo Xiaosi and his friends speechless.

Upon hearing the news, Ni Ni couldn't help but stroll over again. Seeing Bai Liang's wicked trick, she laughed heartily.

After that, he couldn't resist and took on the role of "caretaker" for a while.

"I'll feed you! I'll feed you!"

When they were on the set of "The Longest Day in Chang'an", Ni Ni often fed Bai Liang.

It usually happens when he's playing video games or lying on the sofa and doesn't want to move.

But this was the first time she had ever been fed something so strange, and she was extremely interested.

She couldn't help but laugh when she saw Bai Liang's face contort or his uncontrollable shivering after eating it.

I couldn't help but smile like a doting aunt!
"It's enough if the boy is handsome, why does he have to be so interesting?" She couldn't help but feel a little itch to be interested!
So foul!

Jin Jing: Seeing this scene made me feel even more bitter. This is one of the external stimuli that lead to evil and crooked paths.

Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down her cheeks; at this moment, she seemed to have already begun to get into character.

"I know! Onions, she used onions!" someone nearby couldn't help but say.

Yes, Jin Jing had already rubbed the onion on her hands many times, and just by lightly brushing it across her eyelids, the sensation came instantly.

It wasn't just the tears brought on by the stimulus; taking a big bite of bitter melon seemed to drown out the mixed feelings in my heart, and that's when the emotions came!
She gradually began to understand everything.
Bai Liang: Huh? It really works?
Ni Ni was already starting to lose her composure, especially after watching them rehearse a proper rehearsal.

She had seen this scene on the set of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" and knew how long the original actress had to make adjustments.
Unlike Jin Jing, who relies on this strange external force to get into character.

Surprisingly, their acting was actually quite good.

It's not exactly great, but for an actress who is clearly not a good fit for the role to achieve this effect is already quite exaggerated!

The efficiency of unorthodox cultivation is truly astonishing!
It wasn't just Ni Ni who felt a tremor in her brain.

Once rehearsals are over, it's time to put them to the test.
As for the other scenes, feel free to evaluate them as you see fit, and criticize them as you see fit.

The male actor who played Bai Liang's role was particularly unlucky. He was criticized harshly in every aspect.

Brother Xizi: Destroy it.

Even though he was a supporting actor, he still managed to get the role; after all, he played Zhu Zhanji in "Ming Dynasty".

Zhou Yiwei is so smart; he just picked a supporting role and it was perfect.

The same applies to Ni Ni. In her scene, Haitang Duoduo didn't actually have many scenes; the main point was that she was there to participate.

I can't just come here to get yelled at for the sake of publicity, can I?
Brother Xi is still too young.

Chen Kaige's casual remark ignited his fighting spirit, and he adopted a posture of wanting to prove himself in front of the great director.

The result was that Guo Xiaosi and Li Chengru actually reached a consensus.

However, when it came to the part about "The Longest Day in Chang'an," none of the directors knew how to comment on it.

Faced with the choice between life and death, the ugly side of human nature was immediately revealed. The heartless man embraced the sunlight outside the dungeon alone, cruelly abandoning her in the darkness inside.

Watching the person she deeply loved leave resolutely, Ding Tong'er, who was on the verge of shattering, was instantly awakened by the cruel reality and suddenly saw the path beneath her feet clearly.

As tears streamed down her face, she smiled, a smile that reflected her disappointment, frustration, dissatisfaction, and above all, self-mockery.

Jin Jing managed to perfectly portray this complex, progressive, and reversing emotion!

I don't know if it was really acted out, but it just had that vibe!
Her acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, so she should naturally be praised. She is indeed the best actress besides Bai Liang.

But everyone knows that she learned some unorthodox acting techniques from Bai Liang, which clashes with the understanding of these directors.

External force is not unusable; there have been instances in filming where actors couldn't cry and had to use eye drops.

I've never seen anything like this before; they used external force the whole time.

Is this right? !

No wonder everyone says Bai Liang is good at creating drama!
He used to create a stir in areas other than acting, bringing shock to everyone from various angles.

But when it comes to his "professional job" of acting, he's always been quite normal. It's as if he's finally gotten his chance this time, and he's pulled off this stunt.
After a long pause, Chen Kaige finally said, "We still need to focus on acting skills; external forces won't last."

"It certainly won't last long. She can now eat bitter melon raw without batting an eye. This trick will probably only last two or three times," Bai Liang said with some regret.

These words made Chen Kaige's eyebrows twitch involuntarily. What's wrong? Are you going to develop "antibodies" from all that?
Before the performance, she ate a bitter melon, smeared onion juice on her hands, and even when the camera zoomed in on other actors, you could clearly see her swallowing a mouthful of mustard.
This is just what has been observed; there may be some undiscovered "cheats".

Fortunately, this set of unorthodox techniques is like "drinking poison to quench thirst." Once these things are no longer useful, we can't very well resort to methods like electric shocks just for the sake of acting.

Overall, the entertainment value outweighs the practicality.

But isn't this just a variety show?
Chen Kaige: There's no need to take it so seriously.

Glancing at Li Chengru and Guo Xiaosi, who were about to start arguing again, Director Chen smiled and said, "If you want to be prominent in public, you must suffer in private. Being able to act well is more important than anything else."

This statement can also be considered an endorsement.

Who knows how much discussion this episode will generate after it airs, but there's no doubt that Jin Jing, as the first person to "cultivate" Bai Liang's heretical techniques, will definitely gain a lot of attention.

After the recording of this episode, she even came to thank Bai Liang very formally.

He wasn't joking around like before; his expression was very sincere.

A sudden flash of inspiration from Bai Liang brought her unimaginable benefits as a small-time artist. To put it bluntly, she was promoted to a higher level!

"You're so good to her. I'm prettier than her, right? Why aren't you this nice to me then?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liang gave Ni Ni a strange look. "Are you trying to compete with Jin Jing in beauty?"

He thought he was shameless enough for kicking Beihai Kindergarten, but he didn't expect there to be someone even more shameless. Ni Ni actually wanted to compare this thing with a variety show comedian.
Meeting his gaze, Ni Ni felt a little embarrassed. "Anyway, you've never been this nice to me before. It's so heartbreaking, especially since we're from the same hometown!"

“I didn’t just teach her that either. Those two male actors could do it too, but they gave up after trying it once.”

Ni Ni thought for a moment: "Maybe it's because they're embarrassed. After all, they're still professionally trained actors and want to rely on their own abilities."

“Yeah, it’s all their own choice. When I was choosing people, I just picked the ones who should have the least image baggage, just to create some entertainment value. Who would actually use this method to film a movie?” Bai Liang waved his hand and said.

However, Ni Ni then said:
"I want to try."

"Ok?"

When Bai Liang looked up and met her burning gaze, he immediately realized that what she wanted to try was probably not an "evil cultivation technique".

She wanted to try out the techniques of the Hehuan Sect.
After recording the show, Ni Ni changed into a red halter-neck bodycon dress, which perfectly accentuated her peach-like figure.

Sitting in the car, her legs were slightly crossed, and her long, slit satin skirt flowed smoothly to one side, showing off her beautiful legs.

The slight fleshiness and curves revealed by the gentle squeezing are quite captivating.

The large expanse of fair, tender skin on her collarbone was exposed, and the bulging shape created by the push-up bra was truly alluring.

She was like a blooming peony.

So that's why she was dressed like that even though it was about to snow?

Actually, Ni Ni was still wearing Bai Liang's coat; the short journey before getting into the car had almost made her freeze solid.
However, with the air conditioning blowing in the car, she had clearly "come back to life".

She pursed her slightly red lips, unsure whether it was because they were still a little cool or because she was thirsty.

So she pinched Bai Liang's fingers~
only.
One act of initiative may result in a lifetime of introversion.

When Ni Ni tasted the bitter melon on her fingertips, she instantly contorted, transforming from a goddess into a female ghost in a second!

The atmosphere that had been painstakingly created was instantly and completely destroyed.

"It's so bitter!"

"Who told you to ramble on like that? Now you're paying the price!"

It was indeed bitter; Ni Ni felt that her sense of taste would probably disappear for a while.

However, she suddenly wondered if it was true that she couldn't taste any other flavors that weren't strong enough.
She wanted to try it.

"Brother, we're here."

"Wait a moment, she's asleep. We're not in a hurry; the plane still has a while before takeoff."

Hearing this, Da Pao glanced at Ni Ni, who was "sleeping" on Bai Liang's lap, and thought it made a lot of sense, so he closed the car door.

Although he didn't know if he would have trouble breathing with his head completely covered by clothes, that wasn't something he needed to worry about.

Now it's time to summon Xiao Qi to conduct a quick clearing and inspection of the surrounding area.

To avoid any blind paparazzi causing trouble.

Half an hour later, Ni Ni drank an entire bottle of water in one go in the waiting room.

As it turns out, bitter melon doesn't taste as bad as she imagined.
However, there is some truth to the saying that "no pain, no gain."

Bai Liang: Sweet?

Oh no, has her sense of taste really gone haywire?
In the middle of the month, "The Longest Day in Chang'an" officially premiered!
The story begins in Chang'an during the third year of the Tianbao era.

In the first scene, a long take shows a beautiful woman playing the zither and singing the popular song "Qing Ping Le". A maid looks out the window and notices that the men have stopped working and are all captivated by the beautiful scenery upstairs.

As the beautiful woman sang, "Dancing idly before the emperor, who says her waist is slender and graceful?", a man was so captivated by the song that he carelessly caused the lantern to catch fire.

Fortunately, everyone was quick to react.

The fire was extinguished.

The once dazzling lanterns were burned beyond recognition and could never be restored to their former glory.

That year, Du Fu met Li Bai, the eccentric poet who wrote "Returning Home by Chance" suddenly passed away; the peerless beauty Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, and An Lushan became the military governor of Fanyang.

Beneath the surface of prosperity, crises lurk everywhere. The empire is about to undergo a turning point, and corruption is brewing beneath the surface of prosperity. The rebellion that will be known to all in later generations is already brewing.

On the Lantern Festival, the West Market in Chang'an was bustling with activity. A group of wolf guards took the opportunity to impersonate a merchant caravan and sneak into the West Market with malicious intent.

Li Bi, the deputy director of the Jing'an Division, was ordered to investigate the Wolf Guard, but the secret capture plan failed and the Wolf Guard leader, Cao Poyan, escaped.

Li Bi sent Tanqi to the prison to bring back the death row inmate, the notorious bandit leader Zhang Xiaojing!

The city was on high alert as the drums beat from the watchtowers; under the lanterns of the festive season, danger lurked everywhere. The prosperity and decline of Chang'an in its heyday unfolded on the same canvas.

On the night of its premiere, it received a 9.3 rating on Douban.

Despite the news of Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu's divorce, they still managed to trend on multiple hot searches.

The content of just the first episode was enough to spark a heated discussion among viewers.

Costumes, props, food, architecture, regulations, and historical figures—netizens have analyzed them thoroughly. Even a simple gesture like the "crossed hands salute" or a simple "yes" in the drama has become the subject of numerous lengthy articles.

The one-sided massacre of the Wolf Guard by the fully armored brigade plunged the armored community into a state of jubilation.

The perfect combination of sword, shield, and crossbow is akin to special operations in ancient cities.

Clearly, it's a blockbuster TV series.

Some have even proclaimed that "Joy of Life" has surpassed "Joy of Life" to redefine this year's top drama.

That's a bit of a stretch.

Although this drama broke Youku's exclusive broadcast record upon its premiere, and various data such as paid memberships and user time are reaching new highs, it clearly does not yet have the aura of a drama king.

The buzz surrounding its premiere was significantly less than that of "Joy of Life," especially since this drama was only streamed online and not simultaneously broadcast on television.

Moreover, the lead actor, Xi Zi, is somewhat of a drag on the show. Although his fans and team tried their best to control the comments, many people still complained about his lines.

There's no way around it; with this cast, Brother Xi is the biggest breakthrough.

Even if age and experience can save face, being overshadowed by the other lead actors will inevitably lead to criticism.

However, his fans simply ignored these criticisms and just kept getting excited!

His very first starring role was a smash hit; Bai Liang didn't have that kind of talent back then!
This amused Bai Liang's fans: Da Xian wasn't a top idol when he first debuted. How could he win like this?
Winning strategies in the entertainment industry?
What puzzled Bai Liang was that the show had only just started airing, so who was actually shipping him and Ni Ni as a couple? The so-called romantic storyline between the two of them hadn't even been introduced yet.

Surprisingly, quite a few people have already started using it.
Ni Ni: Oh~ Of course it was the press release I issued, baby!
It's not like we're creating a scandal; just pairing up some on-screen couples is perfectly acceptable.

As for whether or not to create a scandal, Ni Ni might have been happy to do so before, but now she's decided against it.

Yang Tianbao was scolded by Gulinazha, and she felt that she wouldn't fare much better.

That Xinjiang girl is really fierce now. And who knows, Da Tian Tian might come looking for trouble with her too.

Da Tian Tian: You guessed right!

However, we shouldn't wait for her to create a scandal before causing trouble.

They're already planning to "deal with" her!
