Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 485 Decorating a New Home, Building a Love Nest

When Bai Liang took leave from the "My Heroic Husband" crew again, "You Are My Glory" had already aired more than half of its episodes.

The foundation for a hit drama has been laid!

As a romantic comedy, it's unlikely that a show will be well-received at the beginning but suffer a drop in popularity later on.

It gets sweeter as you go on!

Many elements of "Glory" made the audience thoroughly enjoy watching it.

There were no messy ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends causing trouble, and the combined screen time for those two characters was less than half an episode.

Viewers initially thought the two exes were definitely going to cause trouble.

As it turns out, these two seemed to have come to witness the love between the male and female protagonists. They wanted to get back together, but it didn't work out. So be it.

Forget it.

Audience: Huh? Forget it? You're just giving up like that?

Because the plot is so normal, it makes the audience feel that something is not normal.

Couldn't they at least pull some scheming and misunderstandings between the male and female leads? This is so unlike an idol drama! But strangely, it's kind of enjoyable.
It includes some strange and funny plots, such as a "beauty saves the hero" scene at a class reunion, where Qiao Jingjing gets Yu Tu a very expensive bottle of wine to help him "show off and slap his face".

When Bai Liang was recording "Sisters Who Make Waves", it's unclear whether the other sisters were genuinely watching it or if they all watched it because of Bai Liang, making it easier to find topics to talk about on the show.

Anyway, once I caught him, I kept making him spoil the plot.

Perhaps it's the theme of female celebrities having boyfriends outside the entertainment industry that made these women feel a bit like them?

So they pulled Bai Liang aside and discussed the feasibility of finding a boyfriend outside the entertainment industry but working within the system.

Bai Liang wondered if someone in the industry had already set an example.
And she herself is actually on "Sisters Who Make Waves".

The results speak for themselves. She was initially quite troubled by the heart-shaped stone incident caused by that guy Black Bull, but after her identity changed and she became a military wife, few marketing accounts dared to criticize her anymore.

However, the trade-off is that people who used to see her name frequently now have a much lower profile.

This point is also reflected in the TV series.

In the upcoming episodes of "Glory," there's a scene where three paparazzi stake out Yu Tu and Qiao Jingjing, take photos, and try to uncover the man's identity. They follow him all the way to the aerospace institute, where they are eventually arrested by the security bureau as spies.

Although this plot is quite funny and entertaining in the TV series, it actually reflects a negative reality, especially for celebrities who need exposure.

If the media and paparazzi stop photographing you, and even if they want to write about you, they have to be careful with their words, then they might as well just give up.

Sometimes, it's not necessarily a true "whitewash," but rather a matter of fading from memory.
Of course, Bai Liang didn't need to tell his sisters these things; how could they not know them? Except for a few "giant babies" or "princesses."

However, since we've already come up with this topic, Bai Liang gave a little spoiler, making a slight connection with Zhang Xin, who will be eliminated in this episode.

The main thing was to talk to her about life as a military wife, and connect it to some plot points from TV dramas. Hey, there were actually some similarities.

"Was there really a scene where Beijing Guoan made an appearance?"

"Really? Did Xin and Sister get followed to their residence by paparazzi?" Bai Liang couldn't help but ask curiously.

The other person covered her mouth and laughed, "I wouldn't have that kind of guts in real life, but everyone knows what my husband does, so there's no need to follow along."

This collaboration not only gave them more screen time, but also contributed to the show's promotion.

After all, Dilraba is currently traveling around promoting her drama and has appeared on several shows. She specifically cleared out her schedule during this period just to promote the drama.

As a result, Bai Liang still kept saying "makka bakka," and he himself was somewhat embarrassed.

The recording of "Sisters Who Make Waves" is nearing its end, with only two episodes left before the finale. Da Xi, Zhang Tianai, and Mao Xiaotong have all made it this far.

Da Xi and Mao Xiaotong both had their moments on stage. The former relied on her own true abilities, while the latter's professional skills were slightly inferior. However, with Bai Liang's help and the million-dollar post-production boost, her popularity was even greater.

As for Zhang Tianai, Xiao Ai is really beautiful and is the visual center of the show. Even if she doesn't make it into the final group, the production team will save her for the last episode.

In addition, her public feud with Da Xi, which almost completely broke off relations, has remained a hot topic.

How could the production team bear to "break them up"?

It's rare to see female celebrities engaging in such a public feud these days, with their fan groups clashing while they personally get involved.

Except for those two from Xinjiang.

However, it's practically impossible to get those two on the same show; Da Xi and Zhang Tianai are considered the next best pairing.

It's a pity that their feud wasn't over a man. At least from other people's perspective, the main reason for their conflict was over vying for a role.

It has nothing to do with men.

Neither of them will offer any explanation, and this reason is indeed a significant factor, at least for now.

What others don't know is that after many episodes of the show, the two of them would have another "fight"!

One wants to rekindle their one-night stand in Tokyo, while the other says he's itching for a beating—of course they'll fight!

Thankfully, there's Mao Xiaotong around. This meddlesome young lady often leaves Zhang Tianai and Jin Daxi helpless when she pokes at them.

There was nothing they could do; the other party was standing on the "moral high ground."
During the last two recordings, Zhang Tianai ran away immediately after filming because she knew she couldn't break through Mao Xiaotong's close and intense surveillance.

However, after the recording of this episode ended, Da Xi immediately found Bai Liang, with a very simple purpose: "Give me your parents' WeChat."

Mao Xiaotong, who was standing nearby, almost spat out her water when she heard this.
What the heck? Why does he need his parents' WeChat?
Bai Liang knew why, and readily and decisively nodded in agreement.

But she added, "Don't send them those abstract things for no reason. They're getting older, after all, and they can't handle it."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Da Xi was overjoyed, hehe, he knew that if he went directly to Bai Liang, he would definitely get it.

Those "little bitches" are still wary of her, and not one of them offered a helping hand. Even the most obedient Yao Yao has learned her lesson.

But what does it matter? She can just go directly to the person in question.

Actually, she didn't intend to "harass" Bai Liang's parents at all; it was just that her sisters all had children, and she couldn't stand them showing off.

"Oh, right, that game."

“You’re already here~ and you don’t even need to go.” Bai Liang said, suppressing a laugh after thinking of something.

"I'm in it?" Da Xi looked completely bewildered. "How come I didn't know?"

"You'll see when that game goes live; it'll have a much stronger presence than them."

Bai Liang's words were quite true; when he went to Youke, he happened to see someone making two red lanterns.
Those two red lanterns even had lines, chanting, "Great joy! Great joy!"

Isn't this much more noticeable than other girls who only have their faces?

The game even read out her "name".

Although Da Xi didn't fully understand Bai Liang's meaning, he still knew that Bai Liang was an honest and reliable person, and he smiled again.

"I knew you wouldn't forget us~ How about we grab some late-night snacks together tonight? Xiaotong, do you want to join us?"

At this moment, Mao Xiaotong shook her head, "I'm leaving soon, I have a gig tomorrow morning."

I am overjoyed and my heart is overjoyed!

She finally got her chance.
However, he feigned a somewhat regretful expression, saying, "That's a pity. Shall we go eat?"

Surprisingly, Bai Liang waved his hand and said, "I'm busy. Work is a series of interconnected tasks."

"The show's already finished recording, what else do you have to do?" Da Xi asked with dissatisfaction.

That look seemed to say: Brother, I'm really itching for a beating.
Good question!
It was as if they were just waiting for Da Xi to ask this question.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door of the lounge, and then a cameraman with a Tencent Video sign carrying his equipment came in first.

Holy crap! The Heavenly Stems have been reversed!

Da Xi was dumbfounded. This was Hunan TV's territory. Why were people from Tencent here?
She almost blurted out, "People from Tencent are attacking!"

Fortunately, Dilireba's timely appearance made her suppress her abstract thoughts.

At the same time, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes: Why is it you again?
Dilraba, oblivious to Da Xi's expression, waved brightly at Bai Liang, "Let's start our date~"

Yes, Bai Liang did not lie to Da Xi; he was indeed working on a series of interconnected steps.

The filming of "Sisters Who Make Waves" just ended, and Tencent's dating reality show "Heart Signal" immediately took over the time slot!

It's almost like a seamless transition. After finishing one show, you don't even need to remove your makeup before going on to another.

Dilraba had actually been waiting in the car outside for quite some time.

"Heart Signal" is a dating social reasoning reality show launched by Tencent Video. The show invites young people with different professions and personalities who live and work in different cities to move into the "Signal House" and embark on a month-long journey of exploration about love and self.

The show features "heart-fluttering detectives" who observe and interpret the emotional exchanges and signals of attraction between ordinary people, leading viewers to enjoy the sweet moments and witness the emotional collisions and romantic sparks between the six ordinary guests.

Dilraba is one of the "heart detectives" on the show, and can be considered a main guest.

In previous recordings, she would just sit there watching several ordinary couples date, then offer her comments and analyze the trajectory of their relationships.

The show has pretty high ratings because it's similar in type to Nazha's "I Like You Too," which is on iQiyi.

Last year, Naza revealed on this show that she had been rejected twice after confessing her feelings, and she's back on this show this year because people seem to enjoy hearing her express these views on relationships.

The sheer absurdity of being obsessed with romance is so captivating that viewers can't resist watching it.

As for Dilraba, she also caused some trouble on this season of "Heart Signal," talking at length about her longing for marriage and children. She had mentioned it briefly in a previous media interview, and this time she shared it with everyone in detail.

This reappearance on Hunan TV can be seen as the beginning of "practice".

In the spin-off of "Heart Signal," the heart-fluttering detectives themselves step in to demonstrate how to date.
Aren't you going to thank Teacher Dilraba?

While waiting in the car outside Hunan TV, Dilraba couldn't help but chatter away at the camera.

That irrepressible joy and excitement was obvious to anyone.

Although this time it was still under the names of Qiao Jingjing and Yu Tu
After learning the situation, Da Xi was genuinely a little overwhelmed.

No, what you're doing is inhumane!
Are you treating me like a punching bag? She just wants to be a mistress, what's wrong with that? Does she deserve to have Dilireba come to "serve" her time and time again?
Those few people in the group are so arrogant, go and cause them trouble!

Dilraba: I've been there~
She wasn't targeting Kim Dae-hee; it was just a coincidence.

Regardless of whether Da Xile was happy or not, the cameras were already shoved in his face, so he could only chat briefly with Mao Xiaotong before quickly running away.

The only "good news" is that her friendship with Li Yitong has been restored.

"Help! Oh dear!"

"What's wrong with you now, you damned evil little kitten?"

"Da Tian Tian is in my film crew. I can't beat her~"

Da Xi immediately felt much better, realizing that he wasn't the only one suffering.

While she was being repeatedly overwhelmed by Dilireba, Tongtong was truly being served by a variety of experts.

Feeling relieved, Da Xi returned to his original role of advising Li Yitong.

The Shandong sisters have teamed up!
-
The night after "Sisters Who Make Waves" finished recording, the next show to be recorded, "Heart Signal," didn't actually have much substantial content.

The main scene filmed was a shot of Dilraba picking up Bai Liang "after get off work".

Then the two hurriedly headed to the airport and flew to Yanjing.

Of course, the show's "Heartbeat House" is in Chengdu, but as contestants in the "spin-off" episode, they naturally wouldn't squeeze in with the ordinary people to steal the spotlight.

They want them all!

This episode's bonus feature only includes footage of the two of them.

Meanwhile, in the Tencent Video studio, the other detectives were already "on high alert".

Who knows, family members!

We're about to see two top celebrities fall in love!

Yang Chaoyue couldn't help but ask, "Is this real? Is Dilraba really going to date Liang Ge on the show?"

“Be careful what you say and do!”

Ding Yuxi, who was jokingly called "Xiao Fu" by some netizens, quickly corrected them with a serious expression, saying, "The couple who are dating on the show are Qiao Jingjing and Yu Tu."

"Oh right, right~" Yang Chaoyue quickly shrank back, indicating that she had misspoke.

However, I couldn't help but think to myself: Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart?
Fortunately, she has been in the industry for two years now, and she is no longer the clueless village girl she once was.

I also understand some of the rules of the fan circle. It is indeed pointless and a bit like burying your head in the sand, but on the one hand, it is for the promotion of the drama, and on the other hand, some fans really buy into it.

Yes, as long as they have the names Qiao Jingjing and Yu Tu, Dilraba and Bai Liang can "do whatever they want"!
They appeared to be wearing a mask, but in reality, they had taken it off.

At this moment, Qi Wei chimed in, "Have you guys been watching 'Glory' lately? I heard it's really sweet?"

"This is amazing! I'm totally shipping them!"

"It's really good! Hehe, it's even overshadowed by Xiao Ding's 'Intense Love'." Yang Chaoyue laughed.

Ding Yuxi: Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about!
This year's low-budget miracle of "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" has made him somewhat famous.

Hmm. It's a bit like the treatment the male lead received back in "Go Princess Go".

He wasn't as famous as the female lead, Zhao Lusi, nor did he receive as much attention, but he was still much better off than before.

Originally, there was another drama, "Intense Love," co-starring with Wang Sicong's ex-girlfriend Zhang Yuxi, which could have helped him make another splash. However, he was very unlucky and it ran into "You Are My Glory."

This drama has practically drained the viewership of all other shows airing in the same time slot recently!

Especially for those of the same type, the impact is arguably the greatest.

But in such a situation where someone is blatantly and overwhelmingly crushed, no one can complain.

After all, they didn't engage in any underhanded tactics, the filming was good, and there were many off-screen appearances. Plus, they had the support of two top male and female stars, so they deserved this kind of success.

All I can do is sigh and say I'm unlucky.
"I just want to see if these two are really as uninhibited as they are in the TV series!" Qi Wei chuckled strangely, seemingly very much looking forward to what was to come.

Zhang Han, the other main guest, wanted to speak, but held back.

Hmm... how should I put it?
This was, after all, his ex-girlfriend's goddess. He was somewhat "afraid to overstep his bounds."

After all, he still hasn't been able to regain his right to eat beef noodles, and Shuangzi's fans are still criticizing him. His treatment is even worse than Hu Yanbing's.

So let's just stay out of the loop and say less this time.

Otherwise, the remote collaboration between "god" and "scumbag ex-boyfriend" might trigger some sensitive nerve in Shuang's army. He really does want to eat a bowl of beef noodles.

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but start slurping my words.

Qi Wei: Dude, why are you putting on a show without any props when you've toned it down a bit?

At that moment, Bai Liang and Dilraba appeared on the large screen in front of them.

The show immediately gives Bai Liang a close-up shot of his face.
The cameraman was also very skilled, as if he had mastered the "secret technique" of director Lin Yufen.

Push the camera towards the most handsome guy's face, you can't go wrong!
"Wow! So handsome! So handsome! I want to date him too." Qi Wei cheered wildly and directly, completely disregarding the fact that she was already married. Anyway, that's her public persona; the title "Brother Qi" wasn't given lightly.

Fortunately, Yang Chaoyue remained relatively calm compared to the other men present, and did not shout or yell like Qi Wei.

Zhang Han cast an admiring glance at her, thinking that the young girl was quite calm and had a limitless future!

But in fact, Yang Chaoyue had been "daydreaming" for a while.

Seeing that face reminded me of when Bai Liang first debuted on "Produce 101," and he chose to give those girls basic respect by forgoing promotional activities on the final stage.
He even bought them milk tea!

He could even name each of them!
However, she did hug and kiss him at the time, and made a bold statement, saying something like, "See you in the entertainment industry someday!"
I did see her now, but she was in the frame, surrounded by a beautiful top female celebrity, while she was outside.
Yang Chaoyue glanced at Ding Yuxi: Ah, Xiaofu is next to me~
Ding Yuxi: ? ? ?

Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt that the girl next to him was looking at him strangely, as if she was cursing him!

Yang Chaoyue: Then I'll choose Zhang Han~
I turned my head and looked away; this guy was too slick.
Fortunately, Bai Liang on the big screen quickly diverted her attention.

Bai Liang looked at Reba, "What's the plan for our date today, Ms. Qiao Jingjing?"

"Hmph, since Mr. Yu Tu has asked so sincerely, then I will mercifully tell you: decorating your new home!"

And so, the theme for this episode has been revealed.

Decorating your new home, building your love nest!
