Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 454 Two Parallel Lines That Never Intersect
"Long time no see~"

My chance encounter with Shuangzi was really quite sudden.

Bai Liang came to shoot a fashion magazine, but unexpectedly ran into Shuangzi, who was also there for a magazine shoot, in the studio.

This kind of chance encounter is very unusual.

It's not that people were deliberately waiting for him or doing anything, but why would Shuangzi be shooting for a fashion magazine?

Old Zhou had previously explained to Bai Liang that some celebrities in the entertainment industry were collectively blacklisted by the entire fashion industry.

Shuangzi is a typical example of this.

To be precise, she has more solid evidence.

There are plenty of celebrities in the industry who don't have much fashion resources, but Zheng Shuang has achieved a level of fame, coupled with her exceptionally beautiful face, and has managed to remain a complete fashion wasteland for almost seven years, from 12 to now.

While other female celebrities are compared to the so-called "Five Big and Two Little" female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, and when will they achieve a grand slam?
Shuangzi is still stuck with zero points!
This scorpion poop is truly one of a kind.

The reason for all of this is that in 12, when Shuangzi was shooting the cover for "Boutique Shopping Guide", she excused herself to go to the restroom halfway through her makeup and then never returned.
Despite repeated attempts at compromise and communication by the magazine, the editor in charge of the project lost his temper on Weibo and urged colleagues to stay away from Shuangzi.

At the time, "Boutique Shopping Guide" was considered a leading weekly magazine in the domestic fashion and entertainment industry, and was even hailed as "China's No. 1 Lifestyle Weekly".

Shuangzi was never a fashion darling to begin with, and with this incident, she suddenly became a pariah in the fashion world, and has almost no more fashion output since.

The most impressive thing was that her boyfriend at the time, "Pond Master," suddenly turned into a domineering CEO, posting an angry Weibo post at the magazine, saying, "Chu Yuxun is not someone you can bully!"

Well, his fashion resources aren't that great either.

Shuangzi's actions seem somewhat similar to those of Wu Jinyan, who worked under Yu Zheng before, but Wu Jinyan seems to be even more ruthless because she stood up CCTV's sixth princess.

Of course, Shuangzi was a pioneer on this track, and she had a boyfriend who "helped" her out at that time!
As expected of her, she's always one step ahead of everyone else.

I just didn't expect that she was already doing this kind of thing back in 12.
After exchanging greetings, Bai Liang smiled at Shuangzi and then prepared to go to work.

They weren't photographing for the same magazine, and they were working in different studios.

However, after walking only a few steps, Lao Zhou started winking and making faces at Bai Liang.

Old Zhou: Brother Liang, look behind you.

Bai Liang: ? ? ?
He glanced back and saw that Shuangzi was following him closely.
"Huh? Are we going the same way?" Bai Liang asked directly, without any pretense.

Shuangzi was a straightforward person. With a strange smile on her face, she shook her head and pointed in another direction, "It's not on the way. I should be going over there to shoot a magazine cover."

Bai Liang was a little confused, "Then go ahead and do it!"

"I don't want to film anymore," Shuangzi said without hesitation.

Good guy!
Bai Liang was stunned by what he heard, and Lao Zhou next to him was completely dumbfounded, thinking to himself that this old lady was too damn awesome!
No wonder she was blacklisted by the entire fashion industry seven years ago. This year, she finally managed to break out of the fashion desert, but she doesn't take it seriously at all.

Cow breaking!

What impressed Lao Zhou even more was that his brother Liang could communicate so naturally with this madman.

"Don't want to film anymore? Did you sign the contract?"

"I signed it~" Shuangzi said, shaking her head, seemingly quite happy.

From Lao Zhou's perspective, her eyes seemed to shine.
"You need to brush up on your legal knowledge," Bai Liang said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Shuangzi frowned subconsciously, seemingly wanting to retort with something, but after seeing the person in front of her, she paused for a moment and chose to lower her head, silently accepting the scolding.

Although Shuangzi wasn't as rebellious in front of Bai Liang, she obviously wouldn't suddenly become a well-behaved girl.

So she came up with an idea: "I'm not very good at shooting for magazines, could you take a look at how you shoot first?"

She herself found the reason she gave strange, and was just wondering if she should try to find another explanation.
Surprisingly, Bai Liang nodded and said, "That works too."

Shuangzi: Huh?

While her assistant and the magazine that was going to shoot with her were frantically searching for Shuangzi, this girl was sitting there calmly watching Bai Liang work.

I even made sure my phone was on silent mode.
Bai Liang, engrossed in his work, didn't seem to care much about the presence of another audience member, but the others couldn't quite ignore Shuangzi's presence.

At this moment, many people were giving him strange looks.

Well, to be honest, Bai Liang and Shuangzi didn't have any scandals. They hardly ever interacted in private.

Not to mention the media cameras capturing it, the only time the two actually met in private was when she fell.

At the time, Bai Liang even called Hu Yanbing, that great wronged son, to clean up the mess, and didn't do it himself.

As a result, not long after, Shuangzi wrote a book that instantly transformed Bai Liang's relationship with her into that of a god and a believer.
The way Ouhao looked at Bailiang before was like he was seeing a kindred spirit, after all, he also had a "believer".

However, if this kind of relationship remains at a certain distance, it's mainly just for fun.

Normally, at most it's just Shuangzi's fans nagging, but it's not to the point that Bai Liang is forbidden from eating beef noodles because of this, forcing him into a state of not eating beef.

Overall, it's good to keep it this way.

We won't say we'll forget each other completely, but at least we won't interfere with each other, letting our relationship remain just a joke on the internet.

But things started to go wrong when Shuangzi appeared next to Bai Liang.

God and believers?

In certain circles, this kind of gameplay has a different name.

As we all know, the fashion world is quite unconventional.
Old Zhou's ears twitched, and he heard someone unable to contain themselves, making some strange remarks with a grin.

Things like master, mother hook, etc.
His face grew increasingly grim as he listened, until he stood before the two people—who he couldn't tell were models or makeup artists—and demanded, "What were you just saying?"

Old Zhou made quite a fuss, and soon the person in charge of the magazine came out.

The scene was somewhat chaotic for a while.

Bai Liang didn't really get involved in this matter; Lao Zhou would handle it.
Just like his belief in Yanzi, he believes in leaving professional matters to professionals, just like Lao Zhou's boast: no one understands the fashion industry better than him.

This phrase, stolen from President Trump across the ocean, seems to have an innate sense of humor.

But Lao Zhou really knows—not the kind who's just bragging. This guy, who worked his way up from the bottom of the fashion industry, knows all too well what all the messy stuff is about in this circle.

I also know how to deal with these people.

Bai Liang said he would take the opportunity to rest and also check what illness Shuangzi had today.

"Have I caused you any trouble?" Shuangzi glanced at the commotion on Lao Zhou's side and suddenly asked.

Bai Liang didn't stand on ceremony with her and nodded, "Yes, but you yourself are a nuisance."

"Hey!" Hearing this, Shuangzi wasn't ashamed at all; on the contrary, she was proud and actually laughed. "Then I'll leave?"

"Okay."

Bai Liang agreed so readily, without the slightest intention of trying to stop her, successfully making Shuangzi emo, while also leaving her speechless and unsure of what to say.

But in her heart, she thought: He really is different from others.
Just as the two were interacting, Sawako's assistant and the person in charge of her magazine photoshoot finally arrived.

The moment they saw her, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Oh, our ancestors!
Halfway through the magazine shoot, she stopped answering her phone and simply disappeared. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was going to repeat that sudden disappearance stunt from years ago.

No normal person would do something like this, but she's Shuangzi, so nothing she does is surprising.

"Sis, let's go back and shoot for the magazine."

"Don't bother me." Shuangzi waved her hand dismissively, her brow furrowed.

The assistant was quick-witted; he looked pitifully at Bai Liang: "Brother, save me!"
Bai Daguan was kind-hearted and naturally wouldn't ignore such a request for help. He stepped forward and said, "Go get back to work and stop getting in my way."

"Then I'll come find you after I finish filming?"

"What are you looking for me for?"

"It's all right."

Bai Liang: ? ? ?
Honestly, if he wasn't speaking but typing, and his pronunciation was accurate, he'd probably doubt whether he'd expressed something wrong.

Fortunately, the expressions of the people around him told him that what he said made sense.

All I can say is that sometimes Shuangzi's thought process is just as peculiar as Meng Jie's.

However, the two of them have different thought processes. Sister Meng is the kind of person who looks very shrewd but does a lot of silly things. After watching her more, you will find her quite cute.

As for Shuangzi, she really is a bit crazy~ Sometimes it's impossible to tell whether she's doing it unintentionally or on purpose. The naive and cute little green tea and the crazy and innocent little white flower are completely different types.

Without Shuangzi's interference, Bai Liang's work went much more smoothly afterward.

After dealing with a few gossipy idiots who couldn't tell the difference between king and queen, Lao Zhou was hoping to make a quick getaway.

Shuangzi is like a ticking time bomb. Although he has full confidence in his brother Liang, Lao Zhou also finds this woman incredibly troublesome.

If it's not necessary, it's best not to challenge such a high-difficulty boss.

To be honest, Shuangzi seemed to be less crazy in front of Bai Liang.

When she was sitting there quietly, her innocent and delicate appearance was quite eye-catching.

How could such a beautiful girl have "gone crazy"?

"Sis, it seems like Teacher Bai isn't very welcoming to us."

At this moment, Shuangzi's assistant cautiously reminded her, seemingly afraid that she would cause trouble again.

However, she tilted her head and seemed to be thinking about something, then suddenly burst out laughing, her laughter exceptionally bright.

To be honest, the assistant thinks that if she could continue like this, her online reputation would probably be much better.

Suddenly, Shuangzi looked at her and asked, "Don't you think he's the same kind of person as me?"

assistant:???
Oh no, I've really gone crazy.
Aside from a few scandals, Bai Liang has an excellent reputation online, but Shuangzi's reputation and public image are only visible to her fans.

"Well, more or less," the assistant replied vaguely.

She couldn't refuse to answer, as Shuangzi was staring intently at her.

Upon hearing this, Shuangzi was quite pleased: "I think so too! Look, he also had a conflict with the production team on the show."

Hey!
The assistant was about to swear; how could these be the same?

Bai Liang only made a scene because of safety issues with the production team, and he didn't actually lose his temper; he was just a little serious at most.

Everyone knows he has a temper as stable as Kapibala's.

But Shuangzi's personality on various shows is described by fans as genuine, which is hard for outsiders to judge.

Having finally caught Bai Liang "acting like a diva" on the show, she immediately found a "common ground".
I don't know how Shuangzi did it.

Anyway, when Bai Liang finished filming very efficiently, she was already waiting on the side.

Don't ask, the answer is that filming is finished.

Anyway, the expression on the face of the person in charge of her magazine wasn't very pleasant.

But what could she do? She was Shuangzi.

Thinking about it this way, at least she completed the filming task and didn't give up halfway.

She wasn't trying to bother Bai Liang for anything; it seemed she just wanted to say a few words to him before leaving happily.

Once she left, Old Zhou couldn't hold back any longer.

"Liang-ge, what were you two talking about just now?"

"We just chatted casually for a bit. She asked if I was going to attend this year's Weibo Night, and said that she has pretty good resources right now, so maybe we can collaborate in the future."

"She has good connections?"

Old Zhou was completely confused. Did Shuangzi have good resources?
A quick check will tell you what happened.

The previous situation where Zhengzi had no fashion resources is now a thing of the past, and her fashion resources have started to explode!
Old Zhou found out that many top magazines were already arranging covers for Shuangzi, and at the same time, her film and television resources seemed to be starting to go wrong.

If you want to know the specifics, you'll have to ask Yanzi.

Swallow: Easy, let me check.

She hadn't paid attention to Shuangzi, that crazy little white flower, for a long time because she felt that Shuangzi and her own little white brother were basically two parallel lines that would never intersect.

But now it seems something is definitely not right.
Feng Xiaogang, who had no prior connection with her, invited her to the premiere of "Only Cloud Knows".

Even when introducing her to others, she would say things like, "This is my new friend."

Feng Xiaogang even left a comment under Shuangzi's Weibo post, saying something like: "There were too many people at the premiere, so we didn't take good care of everyone."
That attitude was downright obsequious!

Considering Zhao Baogang's previous awkward praise of Shuangzi's acting in "Youth Fight," saying her acting was "explosive," these guys seem to have taken the wrong medicine.

This matter was not difficult to investigate, and Yanzi understood what had happened that very day.

"They've indeed connected with the Beijing elite."

To be precise, Shuangzi has connected with Beiwen Media Group; it's possible that her popularity attracted investors.

Beiwen has gained a great reputation in the industry in recent years, having invested in films such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Dying to Survive", "The Wandering Earth", and the newly launched project "Hi Mom".

Oh right, they're also preparing some kind of "Investiture of the Gods Trilogy," claiming they'll spend a whopping 30 billion yuan to create it.

This is definitely a film and television company that has risen to the top tier at an extremely fast pace. Its stock price once surged by 300%, and its market value once approached 200 billion.

And the film "A Chinese Ghost Story" that Shuangzi just finished filming is also produced by Beiwen.

Yanzi thought about it for a while, and then considered the time when Shuangzi got involved with the Beijing circle, and the events that happened at that time.
The inference is given directly:

"Good heavens, are they trying to create another Fan Bingbing?"

"what?"

Bai Liang hadn't expected Yanzi to give such a summary.

"Is the person behind her that powerful?"

"They've definitely done enough to promote her, but Shuangzi is like a ticking time bomb. They're really bold," Yanzi couldn't help but sigh.

Yanzi and Beiwen had actually dealt with each other before, and there was even a lot of overlap in the projects that the two companies invested in and produced.

However, the gameplay is quite different.

Beiwen operates on a typical capital-driven model, while Yanzi, or more accurately Bai Liang, started as a purely artist studio. Over the years, through various changes, he has long since become qualified to transform into a capital entity.

Many investors have been extending offers to Bai Liang's company, but this "die-hard" guy just doesn't care.

What kind of capital manipulation makes you rich in the stock market? If you want to make a fortune, why go through all that trouble?
nerves~
Therefore, many people in the film and television capital circle have a regretful look when they mention Bai Liang, as if to say, "This kid is holding a mountain of gold and silver but just won't dig it up."

So here's the question: After Shuangzi and Beiwen got together, is she really going to take off?

"Brother Xiaobai, I have a feeling that something's not quite right about Beiwen Company," Yanzi said hesitantly.

Bai Liang: Wow~ You're amazing, Yanzi!
Is Shuangzi a ticking time bomb? Coincidentally, the same goes for Beiwen Company, especially its controller, Song Ge.

Who would have thought that this bigwig who stirred up trouble in the film and television capital circle would be going to jail so soon?
In essence, the root cause can be traced back to the major tax upheaval last year.

The era of hot money in film and television saw a double frenzy between capital and filmmakers, with capital operations already planting the seeds of future problems.

So, it's really hard to say whether Shuangzi or Beiwen will explode first.

It all seems to be caused by gambling.

Thinking about it this way, Yang Mi is really amazing. It seems that so far, among those in the industry who have made bets, she is the only one who has actually won.

Finally, Yanzi's advice to Bai Liang was: it's best to stay away from Shuangzi, this ticking time bomb.

She was already crazy, and now she's teamed up with someone like Bei Wen, who knows when she'll become the next Fan Bingbing in the entertainment industry.

Of course, Yanzi was just giving advice; her son, Xiaobai, had his own ideas.

Anyway, I won't lose out.

As for Shuangzi's plan to meet again at the Weibo Night event, it won't cause any trouble.

In that situation, even if she were twice as crazy, she probably wouldn't be able to "break through the encirclement".

Because the voting results for Weibo Queen are out.

Double yolk egg!
The two Xinjiang girls were evenly matched, and in order not to offend either side or their fans, Weibo had no choice but to bite the bullet and make it a tiebreaker.

With these two standing next to Bai Liang, would Shuangzi still dare to approach him?
Yanzi: Oh no! How could we treat her like a normal person? She might actually do it!
