Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 488 Preparing for a Grand Wedding
Film crew, inside a motorhome.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Bai Liang tilted his head, rested his chin on one hand, and stared at the computer screen without blinking.

The three girls beside him were also holding their breath, their pretty faces showing a rather serious expression.
It was as if everyone was facing some important life decision together.

The situation is indeed somewhat similar; the nineteen paths laid out before Bai Liang are a mixture of black and white.
The girls don't understand it, but it seems really impressive!
Anyone who didn't know better would think this was some kind of intricate chess game.

Of course, the main reason was that the girls saw Bai Liang like this, having thought about his move for so long, so they didn't dare to disturb him, and even started to control their breathing.

However, when people consciously try to control their breathing, they may inexplicably find themselves unable to control it.

Da Tiantian suddenly felt a bit "oxygen-deprived" and couldn't help but take a deep breath, which was quite noticeable in the unusually quiet space.

This startled her so much that she quickly covered her mouth and nose, putting her breath in her mouth on the spot!
Just as her face turned red from holding it in, Bai Liang finally "woke up".

His eyes, which had been glazed over, turned to the screen: Hey? This kid finally logged off? He's almost used up his basic time limit, hasn't he?

Because the other player was going down so slowly, he hadn't even noticed that it was his turn.

So without thinking, I randomly tapped the screen, not really paying attention to where I tapped.

Then the guy on the other side with the ID "Hidden" started to think for a long time again.

This is one of Bai Liang's usual pastimes when he's bored: finding an unlucky guy to torment.

Using absolute luck, they acted recklessly in the nineteen paths of the underworld.
After a long deliberation, the opponent finally conceded defeat.

Meanwhile, the guy on the other side with the ID "Hidden" was feeling somewhat depressed and questioning his life after admitting defeat, all over the internet.

How could I, an eight-time champion, be beaten like this again?
What's with that "I don't eat beef" thing over there? Is it a dog?

Wait a minute, this doesn't seem like an AI's playstyle. Even when forced into a corner, it didn't go into "husky mode." A series of divine moves?
I checked my opponent's record; it was a smurf account with a winning streak of over ten games.

He won three of those games, and the two only played three games in total, with the opponent winning all of them.

However, just like before, before he could even ask who the other person was, they went offline.

He was left bewildered, a triumphant eight-time champion.

"Ugh, this guy is really tough to deal with!" Bai Liang couldn't help but complain as he logged off his alternate account.

When he uses a smurf account to "cheat" and dominate others, most people usually give up in the middle of the game. But this guy called "Qianfu" is the most troublesome. His skill level is so high that he can drag the game out for a long time.

Okay, I won't play with him anymore.

"Did you win?" the girl asked.

"A narrow victory!" Bai Liang said casually.

Wow, that's awesome!

The girls instantly transformed into cheerleaders, enthusiastically supporting Bai Liang.

This made Bai Liang a little embarrassed, since he had already opened the door.
The girls didn't care about that; they didn't understand how to win.

Finally, Da Tian Tian couldn't help but ask her question: "Weren't your five pieces already connected? Why did you only win now?"

Bai Liang: Good question! Because this isn't Gomoku (Five in a Row).

Li Yitong, standing nearby, immediately chimed in, "That's because you don't understand. In Go, you have to surround all of your opponent's stones to win!"

"Just because I don't understand doesn't mean you do. At least I won't pretend to know what I don't, Xiaotian, don't you think?"

Oda: Huh?

Seeing her two older sisters suddenly "attacking" her, she was at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, Bai Liang was still around at this time and jumped out to become the Dragonfly Captain.

If there's a conflict, then let's play a tense and exciting game of Gomoku.

Go is too complicated and not suitable for girls. Gomoku is more suitable for all ages.

He pulled out a Go board and pieces he had bought before, and let the two young ladies have a "decisive battle" on the board!
The two were about the same level in Gomoku, and Bai Liang had taught them each the secrets to winning at Gomoku.

It's much more practical than the methods of the Great Han Chess Master.

Whatever formations they call, like the "underpants formation," "pig kidney formation," or "turtle formation," the main principle is: ignore whatever moves the opponent makes.

At the same time, he rescued Xiaotian from the "battlefield" and stuffed a cookie into her mouth to cheer her up.

"I want to use your set of Hetian jade pieces~" Da Tiantian said, holding an ordinary chess piece, making an unreasonable request.

“I want to use it too,” Li Yitong immediately chimed in.

Clearly, they both watched the latest episode of "Heart Signal" and knew that Bai Liang had this amazing trick up his sleeve.

Although it was a gift from Dilireba, girls really can't resist beautiful gems, and they really liked the pretty chess pieces and board.

It looks really good!
As for playing chess? Well, that's just for fun, of course.

"How could I possibly keep that thing in the car? It's incredibly expensive. I keep it locked in a safe," Bai Liang said, waving his hand and rejecting their unreasonable request.

"You're so stingy~ I'll get you a set later, a jade one, so you can keep it in the car!" Da Tian Tian said generously.

"This thing sounds just like those mahjong sets from Hermès. Why make something so extravagant?" Bai Liang said casually.

"Hermes mahjong set? You bought that too?"

"I didn't buy it, a friend of mine did."

Li Yitong almost laughed when she heard this, because it was Sister Meng who bought this thing.

Because they weren't available in China, I had to find someone to buy them from Japan. I heard they cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan per set.

When Sister Meng came to make a guest appearance a few days ago, she brought this thing with her. And you know what? These mahjong tiles are made of solid mahogany and calfskin, so they make almost no noise when played.

Perfect for sneaking a game after putting someone who doesn't play cards to sleep!
While chatting with the girls, Bai Liang logged into his main account on WildFox.

As soon as he logged in, an "old rival" sent him a match invitation. Seeing the familiar ID "Eagle in Flight," he immediately rubbed his hands together.

Here they come, a formidable opponent!

Playing chess with this guy is much more interesting than that "lurking" guy. Although I lose more often than I win when playing against him, this "eagle in flight" guy likes to do some strange things when playing chess.

It's about secretly setting a trap, thinking the opponent won't notice.
Or maybe they're just confused.

Tsk, that's one of Eagle's tricks.

After the game was over, Bai Liang still won by a narrow margin, this time a truly narrow victory, without any cheating.

But "Eagle in Flight" didn't leave. Instead, she chatted with him and complained for a bit, saying that her income from playing chess wasn't even as high as that of a chess notary, so she was planning to try live streaming in a while.
The other party and Bai Liang had been exchanging skills online for more than two years, and the two were acquaintances.

So Bai Liang generously said: "When you start your live stream, I'll become your number one supporter."

Since the other party isn't a rich and beautiful woman, she can't give him a lot of gold coins. But considering she's his "sparring partner," Bai Liang might consider spending some money to get a gold coin in return.

This is something that many beautiful girls haven't been able to do.

结果
Eagle in Flight: Dude, you can't be eyeing my looks, can you? You think I'm going to try anything suggestive?
Although Bai Liang had guessed who the other party was, just as he had guessed that the "lurking" person was probably some "unlucky guy," he still couldn't help but chuckle.

Even among the goddesses of Hupu, there are differences, oh my god.

After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Apart from chess, all the traditional arts of qin (a stringed instrument), chess, calligraphy, and painting are now starting to skirt the edges of morality. You'd better hold the line!"
Eagle in Flight: Nonsense, even if I starve to death, I'd jump off this cliff.
Bai Liang thought she wouldn't starve, and if things got really bad, she could sneak a bite of braised pork rice.

At this moment, Zhan Ying did not feel overjoyed after gaining a "future number one top player".

After all, it's just online banter; taking it too seriously isn't a good idea.

However, she thought that if she were to do a live stream, simply playing Go wouldn't be enough to create a good show, so she should also play some games.

Recently, various games have been quite popular.

From mobile games to PC games, and now to console games, the two sides of Honor of Kings and League of Legends are still arguing, and the buzz is incredibly high.

After some investigation, it was discovered that all this buzz was generated by the same person.

The recently aired drama "You Are My Glory" has been jokingly referred to as an advertisement for the game "Honor of Kings" in addition to its sweet romance storyline.

The upcoming drama "Go Go Squid!" is being closely watched by League of Legends, currently the most popular game in China. The leaked trailers and elements have already piqued the interest of the esports community, making it a hit even before its release.

Naza has thus become an e-sports goddess, not to mention Bai Liang, who has indeed become quite involved in the e-sports circle and has even played professional matches.

One of the most common criticisms of Honor of Kings by League of Legends players is: "Da Xian is playing in LPL matches, so why haven't we seen him playing in KPL matches?"

It can be said that Bai Liang has recently single-handedly stirred up the entire gaming industry with his two dramas.

The sheer volume of traffic and attention it garnered was beyond description; even the word "exaggeration" wouldn't do it justice. After watching for a while, Zhan Ying couldn't help but daydream: if he could ride that wave of traffic, wouldn't he be set for life?
Moreover, I heard that Bai Liang also likes to play Go. When will this incredible wealth fall into the hands of the Go community?
Unfortunately, the Go community's popularity is nowhere near that of the e-sports community, so it seems Bai Liang might not be very interested.

The other person can't possibly come to her live stream to play chess with her, right?
At this moment, it's not just the Go community that's "coveting" Bai Liang's popularity. Lu Han said he really didn't want to answer the call from the director of "Five Ha" anymore.

"Director, can you contact him directly? Are you going to make me convey all the details?"

Lu Han was speechless; it felt like he had become Bai Liang's assistant.

"The main thing is that you can talk to him, Xiao Lu." The director was also a little helpless. If he could talk to Bai Liang himself, he wouldn't have to take this networking route.

Thankfully, the lineup of "Five Ha" was there, with Deng Chao, Lu Han, and Chen Chichi in charge. Otherwise, let alone talking to Bai Liang, he might not even be able to speak to President Yan. He would have been easily dismissed by some person in charge.

Of course, Bai Liang did not actually reject the invitation from the "Five Ha" team.

But he definitely doesn't have the time to be a regular guest.

However, after making a small request, he agreed to appear in the previous one or two episodes.
To be honest, his request was a bit excessive, but given his status, it wasn't too unreasonable.

The summary depends on the individual.

The only problem was that the production team had to change the final destination of "Five Ha" from Xizang to Xinjiang.
That evening, the new variety show "Five Ha" assembled in Shanghai. The show's concept was that the "Five Ha Travel Group" would depart from Shanghai and eventually arrive in a city in Xinjiang. The members would need to work part-time while traveling, earning their travel expenses through labor.
As soon as Lu Han boarded the cruise ship belonging to the production crew, he saw the director looking at him with expectant and passionate eyes.

Fortunately, he lived up to expectations, spreading his hands and saying, "He's waiting for us in Hengdian."

"Great!"

Before today, Bai Liang hadn't given any definite answer as to which station he would "get on the train" from.

Because he himself wasn't entirely sure.

If the crew of "Five Ha" comes to Hengdian, and he happens to be on leave for other promotional activities, then he'll miss it, and there's nothing he can do about it.

The worst-case scenario is that he only goes to the last stop, which is Xinjiang, to meet up with the Wuha team, and he will also bring Nazha along, for about one or two episodes.

However, he also said that if he were in Hengdian and had time when the five episodes were being filmed, he could appear in one more episode.

The production team accepted this arrangement, which involved extremely uncertain scheduling.

In short: Bro, I'll be there whenever you're free! It all depends on your schedule and availability.

After Lu Han finished relaying the message, he couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you let Brother Chao do this? He's very familiar with Da Xian too!"

"Hey~ I'm getting old, Xiao Lu, you're a young man." Deng Chao, that old rogue, quickly shifted the blame.

However, at this moment, Chen Chichi asked curiously, "Didn't our final destination change from Xizang to Xinjiang? So here's the question: who is the Great Immortal going to meet in Xinjiang?"

That's a good question!

Upon hearing this, both Deng Chao and Lu Han became interested.

"Judging from the timeline, it should be that Zha. When the episode about Xinjiang aired, 'Glory' had already finished airing, and 'Intimacy' was probably nearing its end as well. It couldn't possibly be a promotional video for 'Glory'," Deng Chao analyzed.

"Can our show touch on the tail end of his drama? If not, either of them is a possibility."

"I think it should be Dilraba," Lu Han guessed, rubbing his chin.

"why?"

"I guess."

Lu Han couldn't really say that he had actually experienced how Bai Liang and Dilraba showed affection in front of him, especially since he and Dilraba were even being promoted as a couple at the time. But as soon as Bai Liang appeared, he completely broke up their couple on the spot!

This further facilitated the early official announcement of Lu Han's relationship.

For this reason alone, Lu Han will always vote for Dilraba.

As for Naza, although we've worked together before, she doesn't seem very bright. She probably can't outmaneuver Dilraba.

"In that case, let's start the betting!" Deng Chao said excitedly, preparing to open the betting pool.

Of course, what they talked about wouldn't appear in the final cut of the show, so the director had to step in and remind them: "Let's talk about something that can be broadcast. It's not good to bet on something like this, even if you're not betting money."
-
The day before the "Five Ha" team arrived in Hengdian, while they were still in Zhoushan, Da Tiantian finished filming "My Heroic Husband".

She had actually been in the production for a while, and apart from her scenes with Bai Liang, she had basically finished filming all the other scenes while Bai Liang was on leave and wandering around outside.

So when he returned and the filming of Ning Yi's scenes was concentrated, the director also considered that Da Tian Tian was making a special appearance, so he arranged for her scenes to be filmed together with Bai Liang.
Da Tian Tian: Mind your own business!

On one hand, she was leaving again and wouldn't be able to see Bai Liang anymore; on the other hand, she was a little reluctant to part with Xiao Tian and Li Yitong.

It's actually quite fun arguing and bickering with her.

Li Yitong wasn't as aggressive as the two girls from Xinjiang, and Da Tiantian quite enjoyed arguing with her.

The key is that you won't feel resentful or unhappy after arguing.

It's not like she's been forced into speaking her hometown dialect to this point. She only used it once with her ex-girlfriend.

It can only be said that it is very restrictive, and even Da Tian Tian herself is quite resistant to it.

Essentially, they just don't want to start a fight.
However, she found some enjoyment in the feud with Li Yitong, perhaps because the two of them were fighting not for a man, but for their best friend.

This creates a much more harmonious atmosphere.

In addition, Private First Class Xiao Tian was always running around the film set, which was very festive. Da Tian Tian really liked this film crew.

Li Yitong: I don't like it!

When the two Xinjiang girls bullied her, Da Tiantian also wanted to join in the fun.
Have you ever seen a stressed kitten?
The wicked little cat is so agitated that she doesn't even dare to imagine what she might do.

Who knows, he might go crazy and sneak up on Da Tian Tian in the middle of the night with his custom-made "divine treasure"!
The evil little cat had already imagined this scenario.

After imagining it, I immediately felt much better~ She really is quite wicked!
However, on the day filming wrapped up, Da Tian Tian specially prepared some gifts and such.

Li Yitong: "Huh? I have one too?!"

"Why don't you have one?" Da Tiantian asked, somewhat puzzled.

Li Yitong scratched her head, unsure of what to say.

I argue with her every day, but I still give her gifts after we argue?

Glancing at the expensive gift the other party had given her, Li Yitong couldn't help but exclaim: "She truly deserves to be called a woman of wealth and elegance; she's so generous!"

She was starting to wonder if she should continue to dislike the other person. Actually, Sister Tian Tian was quite cute; it would have been better if she hadn't been competing with her for Xiao Tian.

Turning my head, I saw that Da Tiantian was whispering to Xiao Tian again, as if they were talking about something like she wanted to play with her later.

Li Yitong immediately rushed over like a mother hen protecting her chicks, shielding Xiaotian behind her.

As a result, Da Tian Tian turned around and went to Bai Liang to act cute and charming.

Clearly, she can only "guard" one of the two targets.

"Give me a hug~"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liang first had someone hold the flowers, then gave Da Tiantian a generous hug before handing the flowers back to her.

After receiving the large bouquet of flowers, Da Tiantian smelled their fragrance and couldn't help but say coquettishly:
"When our drama airs, the promotional intensity will be on par with Dilraba! We can't be worse than her!"

"Sure, I'll think about it carefully and see what kind of work I can do," Bai Liang readily agreed.

At the same time, I'm somewhat relieved that Da Tian Tian is meant to be compared to Dilraba, not Nezha.
The promotional intensity of the former was actually not too bad; Dilraba herself took the initiative to add to "Sisters Who Make Waves".

Other promotional methods for the drama were just a bit unusual, but they weren't actually that troublesome.

That one was really exaggerated, and Bai Liang "forced" a variety show to change its plan because of it.

However, women are fickle.

Who knows, after some time, Da Tian Tian might change her mind after comparing the options.

At that point, Bai Liang wouldn't know what kind of work to do, so he could only let things take their course.

But there's no need to worry.

After all, things will work themselves out in the end; the future is something for our future selves to solve.

For now, all he needs to do is prepare a grand wedding for one girl.

Hey guys, if you have time, try participating in that 515 Easter Egg Stamp event!
By the way, I saw someone asked me about adding more chapters or something.

To summarize, I still owe one chapter for the bonus chapter for the Alliance Leader and one chapter for the bonus chapter for the monthly votes, but I will definitely make up for it.

It's not that I don't want to update more, it's just that I can't write that much right now, my condition really isn't up to par.

Sorry.
