Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 494 My Sister is a Big Star?

Bai Liang's first meeting with A Kun came so unexpectedly.

To be honest, Ah Kun is definitely more prestigious than those washed-up Yuehua Seven.

Fan Chengcheng is probably the most popular of the Yuehua Seven. He was just wandering around in the backstage corridor, and no one was following him around filming.

And look at how Ah Kun is treated!
They're worlds apart.

The crowd was so dense it looked like the corridor was about to be filled; you'd have to squeeze through to walk past. Truly befitting a top celebrity!
"In that show, he was first and you were second, right?" Bai Liang asked Fan Chengcheng curiously as he looked at him from afar.

The kid scratched his head. "Brother, I'm third."

"Only the third?"

"Third place is pretty good. I was out of work for several months that year."

Oh right, Bai Liang remembered now. This kid debuted around the same time his sister had her accident.

It's fair to say that when Fan Chengcheng entered the entertainment industry, her mindset was, "My sister is a big star."

As a result, not long after the group debuted, it became known as "My sister is a celebrity whose career has collapsed".

Hei Niu could choose to break up with his friend and eliminate the negative impact of the other party, but the blood ties between Fan Chengcheng and his friend cannot be severed.

"But isn't the gap between your third place and their first place a bit too big?" Bai Liang glanced at the commotion over Ah Kun's side, then looked at his own disappointing self beside him; the contrast was too obvious.

"He was already the undisputed number one on our show, so it's normal."

To be honest, Fan Chengcheng and Akun actually have a pretty good relationship. When Akun was being attacked online, Fan Chengcheng even spoke up for him.

However, it's precisely because of their good relationship that he's afraid his brother will suffer, and also afraid his brother will drive a Land Rover.

Like now, even though they both came from the same show, they're now on another show, yet the difference in their treatment is so obvious.
Dude, you're doing way too well!
In comparison, his participation in the finale of "Sisters Who Make Waves" through back channels and forming cliques seems particularly lackluster.

Just as Fan Chengcheng was feeling melancholy and mentally singing "Yi Jian Mei," the group of Hunan TV people who were originally surrounding A-Kun suddenly brightened up when they saw Bai Liang.

It surged over all at once with a whoosh.

Now, Ah Kun can also feel the change that Fan Chengcheng just experienced, which made his expression freeze on his face.

Looking up, he saw Fan Chengcheng grinning and winking at him.

It's as if it's saying: That's it? Dude, you're not good enough either!
However, after giving him a speechless look, Ah Kun's attention was immediately drawn to the man next to him who had become the center of attention the moment he appeared.
Suddenly I realized, it was him!
Ah Kun felt much better now; if it were this man, it wouldn't be so bad.

Top influencer? Top influencers are nothing.

Several top stars have died in front of this guy. Ah Kun himself is a new generation of top star who appeared out of nowhere, while Bai Liang is like leveling up in a game, defeating all the people in front of him and firmly establishing himself as a top star with an unparalleled advantage.

He single-handedly challenged the four top stars of the previous generation; his record is verifiable.

Not to mention the people from Hunan TV, even Ah Kun himself couldn't help but move, taking the initiative to walk up to Bai Liang and politely greet him.

The main qualities are politeness, obedience, and respect for elders.

Bai Liang: Dude, you're the senior here.

Ah Kun actually debuted at the age of fourteen, participating in Hunan TV's "Go Up! Youth", and then began his entertainment career.

After that, he was basically busy every year, filming, releasing songs, and forming a group, until he participated in "Idol Producer" at the age of twenty and soared to fame.

However, Bai Liang felt that he had gained a new understanding of the phrase "Lord Ye's love of dragons".

The Ah-Kun who spreads images of electronic chicken plague all over the internet is completely different from the person I encountered offline.

People don't wear overalls or play basketball anymore, and Bai Liang isn't interested in singing, dancing, or rapping, so naturally there's nothing fun to talk about.

Overall, this kid is a bit boring and still has too much of an idol image to maintain.

It's not as fun as Fan Chengcheng's long-necked white goose.

However, Bai Liang saw the shadow of an "old friend" in him.
It seems that both of them also have mothers who are very "worried" about their sons.

But Ah Kun's mother was even more formidable. "Listen to your aunt," she said, "If you love someone, you'd be willing to lick their toes, right? You'd be willing to be a slave, asking for nothing in return, wouldn't you?"

Even the most scumbag wouldn't say something like that. Only his mother would.

Because it is too feudal, it seems somewhat abstract.

“You’re quite similar to one of my ‘old friends’,” Bai Liang said to A-Kun with a smile.

Leaving this comment behind provides Hunan TV with some material about two top celebrities facing off, which will probably trick many fangirls into watching this scene, thus generating some clicks and buzz for the edited version of "The Night of the Group's Formation".

"Old friend?"

Ah Kun was a little confused when he heard this, but he was also quite happy.

He felt that Bai Liang was trying to make amends with him.

But who exactly is this old friend? Is he/she also from the entertainment industry?

"Do you know who he's talking about?" Ah Kun couldn't help but ask Fan Chengcheng, who hadn't had a chance to escape with Bai Liang yet.

Fan Chengcheng tilted his head, "How would I know~ But..."

"But what?"

"It's nothing, just keep up the good work."

To be honest, based on Fan Chengcheng's understanding of his "brother-in-law," he had a feeling that he wasn't saying anything nice. Who knows, in a couple of years, those words might be brought up again because of something, and people might start to take offense.
After all, Bai Liang's nickname is "Great Immortal"!

People in the industry all say he's uncanny.
"Brother, brother, what did you ask me again?"

"Huh? What did I ask you?"

Fan Chengcheng scratched his head. "You're asking me what my relationship with him is like."

Bai Liang's face was full of question marks. "Did I ask?"

"I asked!"

"Oh~ you seem to have said that you and him have a pretty good relationship, right?"

Bai Liang is so thoughtful. Although his super brain doesn't seem to have recorded that he asked that question, since this kid said it, he might as well pretend he did.

Fan Chengcheng quickly shook his head and said sincerely, "Actually, my relationship with him is just so-so, we're not very close."

Bai Liang: ? ? ? You brat!
Fan Bingbing's younger brother is no ordinary person either!
Although it looks silly~
No wonder he was able to record a show with Li Chen and act so normally.

He just casually made that joke, after all, everyone has a bit of a quirky sense of humor. Although Bai Liang rarely acts as a prophet, he occasionally leaves some "Easter eggs" for the audience.

When they dig this up in the future, it will add a bit of fun to everyone's gossip.

It's harmless.

But this time I actually met someone who took his casual remarks, which were completely unrelated to real-world examples and made no sense at all, seriously and immediately placed bets without thinking.

He now suspects that if he were to fart, this kid would follow him around smelling it and then awkwardly exclaim, "It smells so good!"

Bai Liang thought for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Were you being manipulated by your sister?"

Fan Chengcheng chuckled, indicating that he was simply carrying out his sister's instructions 200%.

I'm not afraid of using too much force, I'm just afraid that Bai Liang won't be able to feel it.

Just like before on the show "Chase Me", she stood up in time and stood up with Bai Liang to confront the production team.

Afterwards, Fan Chengcheng went back to review the situation and realized that he hadn't acted quickly enough or ruthlessly enough!
How could the director have accidentally fallen into the ball pit?
Why couldn't it have been him who pushed it in?!

Six strikes per second is not his limit, nor is it the limit of "loyalty"!

Bai Liang: Damn, even Shuangzi's "belief" has never been this strong.

This guy is being as enthusiastic towards him as a gay man right now!

From now on, I'll sit at Arthur's table when we eat.

"Sisters Who Make Waves" is so popular!
To date, the show's main Weibo hashtag has garnered over 60 billion views, directly breaking the 50 billion record set by "Where Are We Going, Dad?". Hashtags for shows like "Keep Running", "Go Fighting!" and "Street Dance of China" have all exceeded 30 billion views.

More importantly, this is only one season of the show, yet its enormous impact on generating buzz is readily apparent, not to mention its dominance of Weibo's trending topics every time a new episode is released.

At the same time, perhaps no other program has had such a concentrated and rapid impact on the capital market as "Sisters Who Make Waves".

In Mango Excellent Media's semi-annual report, the number of program sponsorships broke several records, reaching the highest number of variety show brands in the past two years.

Tonight, as this grand fireworks display concludes, it can be seen as a typical product and a concentrated display of the tension and collision between dreams and reality in "Sisters Who Make Waves".

Under the theme of "forming a group", the program also set up a number of awards to recognize the sisters and the performance stage, with a joyful atmosphere as the award ceremony took turns to give their acceptance speeches.

The solo performances by the guests and the awards ceremony for the sisters—this was clearly a large-scale gala.

Welcome everyone to the final night of "Sisters Who Make Waves"!

Bai Liang and Na Zha's performance was the opening act.

Keep up the good work!

The singing was very stable but just so-so.

This prompted many viewers to make fun of him in the live chat. "It's already 2020, and Da Xian is still singing 'Do You Know?' Can't he practice a couple more songs?"

"I have to say a few words on his behalf. The Great Immortal sings a different song every year on the Spring Festival Gala."

"The Spring Festival Gala was all lip-synced."

"Mango invited Ah Kun this time, probably to make up for the only shortcoming of Da Xian, this all-around warrior. Singing, dancing and rapping, right?"

"Why didn't she play basketball? You're making fun of my Giegie!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Da Xian really can dunk. He can dunk your Giegie on the rim so hard you can't pry her off."

"."

Although Bai Liang's singing skills are average, his stage presence is quite good.

After all, who in their right mind would listen to him sing?

Although they didn't pat Naza's butt on this stage, there were other interactions between the two.

Actually, it was when that girl was dancing around him, she brought her face close to his, and then Bai Liang reached out and touched her.
This was probably the only stage interaction designed by the two of them; everything else was improvised by Naza on the spot.

She almost couldn't resist and nudged Bai Liang with her buttocks.
If that's really done, the earlier point about the guest overshadowing the host might come true.

However, even if she hadn't done that, the commotion she caused online was still considerable.

Dilraba's fans are yelling, "Damn it, 'Glory' isn't over yet! What does that mean? Is Dilraba already 'leaving the stage'?"

Incomplete after-sales service is the same as no after-sales service at all!

In response, Naza's fans naturally refused to back down, saying that "Intimate" is about to be released, so what's wrong with the male and female leads promoting it together in advance?

Both sides held their own opinions and argued fiercely.

This can be considered a successful start to tonight's "Night of Formation"!

Afterwards, the sisters' lip-syncing became a trending topic. Apart from Ning Jing singing a few lines and Wang Xinling singing live, the audience found out that the other sisters were basically lip-syncing!
However, it's not a big deal.

Just like how people don't really care that much about who makes it into the group or who doesn't.

What makes Priceless Sisters special is that even if it weren't for the seven sisters announced tonight, any seven sisters forming a group wouldn't feel out of place, and there would always be people who feel disappointed.

This may explain why the market is so obsessed with talent shows.

When eight tough women from all walks of life took to the stage, when the Chinese women's volleyball team sang "Into the Sea," and when Ning Jing, Zhang Yuqi, and others boldly expressed their thoughts and uttered "sisterly" quotes, they all rekindled the long-dormant enthusiasm of the market.

Let the audience feel the charm of the "older sister".

Oh right, Jin Daxi and Zhang Tianai battled it out for the entire season, but in the end, neither of them made it into the final group.

There were seven spots in total, and they came in eighth and ninth respectively.

Sure enough, while Nazha was changing clothes, Jin Daxi ran over to "seek comfort".

"I'm so miserable. I'm going to write the word 'misery' on your leg."

"Stop joking, I can't read," Bai Liang said with a grin.

Seeing his expression, the clever Da Xi sensed something was wrong. "You knew all along, didn't you?"

"Of course I have a list."

"Then why don't you put in a good word for me and give me a back door? When I gave you a back door, were you this heartless?"

Today's words of joy were truly fierce, almost like a barrage of firepower.

However, Bai Liang explained, "At that time, six spots had already been decided, so there was basically no way to change them. People like Ning Jing and Wang Xinling were determined to take a debut spot very early on, and the others were in a similar situation."

"Isn't there one left?" Da Xi persisted.

Bai Liang was quite straightforward: "Yes, that's why I recommended one to the production team."

"Who?"

"Mao Xiaotong".

"Damn it! Why can't it be me?"

"The conflict between you and Zhang Tianai is too intense. You two either form a group together and continue your love-hate relationship, or you don't form a group together. Otherwise, if one of you forms a group and the other is eliminated, who knows how much trouble that will cause."

"That's not necessarily true," Da Xi retorted stubbornly.

"You really want to join the group?" Bai Liang looked at Da Xi with some surprise, wondering if he had misjudged her.
If that's the case, we can try to think of a solution for her.

In reality, the so-called formation of a group simply means that there will be some announcements about group variety shows and the like.

After all, "Sisters Who Make Waves" is different from ordinary talent shows. These sisters don't really care about the resources the show will give them after they form a group.

If they can't become popular again on this show, the subsequent resources will be useless. But if they can become popular again, who are they looking down on with this paltry sum?
Sure enough, Da Xi shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't want to. As long as I get the traffic and attention, that's enough. I don't have time to attend any of the group formation announcements that Mango TV has arranged for me."

"Then what are you muttering to me about?"

"It's just being cute!" Da Xi said confidently.

Bai Liang: Oh, so it was just her being cute~ I didn't realize it at all.

Sure enough, Zhang Tianai quickly demonstrated what true coquetry looks like.

"Although it's a little disappointing, I still had a lot of fun recording this show. It's rare to have the opportunity to spend so much time with you. Let me give you a hug~"

Even though they were outside the lounge, Bai Liang still hugged Zhang Tianai openly, without any attempt to hide it.

This gesture made the young lady's smile even brighter.

After the hug, Zhang Tianai found that she had something hard in her hand.
Of course, not the hard, solid kind, but the hard, solid kind of like a rock.

Curious, I picked it up and looked at it. "What is this?"

"A gift for you."

"It's different from everyone else's!"

Zhang Tianai didn't even ask what the meaning of the small octagonal stone was, because she had already seen Bai Liang exchanging gifts with others today, and they were all fairly normal things.

She's the only one who's special!

That's enough.

However, she still couldn't forget her old rival, "What did you give Jin Cheng?"

"I haven't given it to her yet. I'll go give her two big purses later," Bai Liang joked casually.

"Three, please. Give me one too."

Zhang Tianai said this very seriously! Much more seriously than when she was "flirting" with Bai Liang just now.

If she could, she would even like to help Bai Liang with his Didi rides.

However, Bai Liang wasn't that abnormal. After politely declining her "kindness," he entered the lounge and saw Da Xi looking unconvinced.

As soon as he entered, the other person stretched out their hand and said, "Where's mine?"

Bai Liang slapped her palm. "You really want a big purse?"

"No. What did you give her? I want some too!"

"What do you need that cheap trinket for?"

"I don't care what others say, but I have to have what she has."

Damn it, this hatred runs deep!

Fortunately, how could Bai Liang not have foreseen this? He has a super brain.

He pulled another small stone from his pocket and tossed it to Da Xi, saying, "Here, yours~"

Da Xi immediately beamed with joy, "I knew you wouldn't forget me, I love you, I love you."

Her level of abstraction is no less than that of the US.
However, after examining the small stone for a while, Da Xi raised a question: "Why is it a cow? I was born in the Year of the Horse."

Bai Liang couldn't hold back anymore. Da Xi was the first person to automatically associate this thing with the Chinese zodiac after receiving it. No wonder she was like that.

"The horse has already been given away."

"Okay, cow and horse, cow and horse, it seems appropriate. Hey... does this thing have some special meaning? I think I've seen it in an animated film." Da Xi suddenly realized.

"You finally figured it out."

"Hehe! I didn't think of that for a moment. You're quite romantic. What's the meaning behind my gesture?"

"Brave Niu Niu, unafraid of difficulties."
