Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 496 A Cunning Older Young Man
To be honest, the aftereffects of the "Honor of Kings" spin-offs and behind-the-scenes footage are quite significant, affecting not only fans or Nazha.

When Bai Liang returned to the film set to shoot, Li Yitong didn't give him a friendly look.
Xiao Tian followed closely in her sister's footsteps, completely ignoring Bai Liang.

At least that's how it is in person.

When Bai Liang called her "Little Watermelon," the girl hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Yitong, and then lowered her head without saying a word.
A few minutes later, she secretly sent Bai Liang a message on her phone.

The content is very simple.

"Have!"

Along with a cat saluting emoji. Bai Liang even took a picture of this for her.

This sneaky operation is quite comical.

This is arguably the biggest difference between the little girl and the older contestants.

Because of Dilraba's almost face-to-face gesture, many older women have felt a strong sense of crisis.

The resentment emanating from Bai Liang's phone is enough to feed ten evil sword immortals.

Even Yang Mi, a divorced mother, couldn't resist joining in the fun, sending a sarcastic message: "Is a wedding coming soon? Can I, a divorced woman, still be Dilraba's bridesmaid? Won't she look down on me?"

Honestly, that's just how people are.

Even though you know it's impossible, seeing someone else "about to succeed" makes it hard to control your emotions.

However, the one that should have reacted the most remained completely silent.

Bai Liang tentatively sent her an emoji to tease her.

The other person immediately replied with a fierce emoji, "Get lost.GIF".

They even used a GIF of Bai Liang roaring with his mouth wide open from a certain drama.
She was clearly very angry, so angry that she didn't even bother to talk to Bai Liang anymore.

However, this meme actually shows that it's not that exaggerated.

Bai Liang, of course, had no idea how much Nazha's little assistant had helped him carry the burden, but he thought it was reasonable.

The other one, Da Tiantian, was more agitated, and it seemed that Xiao Shui was helping to coax him.

As for Sister Meng and the others, they have already started a criticism meeting against Bai Liang in the group chat.

That's right, they've "united" again.

It seems that their friendship is mainly based on external pressure, to put it bluntly, it's like Dilraba and Nazha.

When the pressure on these two is too low, the two sisters in "Joy of Life" start fighting amongst themselves; but when the pressure comes, they immediately stick together for warmth and gossip behind each other's backs.

However, judging from Li Yitong's reaction, they weren't so unwilling to swallow their anger.

The main reason is that these girls are taking a different path, and they all know Bai Liang's parents, as if they want to open up a new track and strategy.

Of course, the one who was the least able to control herself at this moment was Bai Liang's mother.

"Hey handsome, tell Mom the truth, are you sure it's this girl? If so, I'll delete the other girls' WeChat accounts. Should I apologize to them before I do?"

Mrs. Bai was very nervous and asked her son on the phone how to handle the aftermath.

After all, in her view, Dilraba's actions were tantamount to a done deal.

There can't be any more twists and turns, right?
Since that's the case, then he has to be more responsible. While being responsible for Dilraba, he can't keep the other girls hanging.
"Ahem. Mom, I suggest you wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"There's another drama coming up soon that's similar to this one."

Bai's mother was silent for half a minute on the other end of the phone, seemingly organizing her thoughts on how to scold Bai Liang, that brat.

Are you trying to die?!

Bai Liang is very clever, and with his "crisis awareness," he immediately took emergency precautions and hung up the phone.

He knew his mother very well; she was very gentle, and it took her a long time to build up her temper. As long as he interrupted her spellcasting, the matter would be over.

To be honest, after watching "Glory", his mother really grew to like Dilraba even more, though this kind of thing only comes in waves.

Just like how I liked Li Yitong after watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I liked Da Tiantian after watching "How Long Will I Love U".
There is one slight exception: Chen Yao.

The main problem was that Zhang Xianzong's death in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" was too tragic, and Yue Qiluo's character was also quite frightening to Bai's mother.
It was only after getting to know Chen Yao in person that I realized she's a really nice girl! She seems so well-behaved~
In short, he falls in love with every girl he meets.

If she were involved in the fandom, she'd be a typical opportunist, constantly switching allegiances.
Of course, Bai Liang could understand whether it was his own mother or the young women.

But why is this little blonde girl getting involved?
After Zhao Jinmai asked Bai Liang for what felt like the umpteenth time if he and Dilraba were really together and if they were going to make it official, Bai Liang finally couldn't help but blurt out:

"Getting married this year, having a baby next year, and two the year after! Oh, and by the way, will you be my bridesmaid?"

"what?!"

The little girl clutched her chest, looking as if she were seriously injured.

Bai Liang is currently on the set of a rather special TV series called "Together".

It is a contemporary report drama on the theme of fighting the epidemic.

The filming time wasn't very long, because this thing, like "My People, My Country," was divided into several segments.

It tells the stories of different people in the same setting.

The film is divided into ten segments, and the cast list is probably even more outrageous than that of "My People, My Country".

It's not that the actors are of higher status; after all, it would be too difficult to surpass "My People, My Country" in terms of star power.

The main reason for the large number of actors involved in "Together" is that it has a lot of cast members.

Flipping through the cast list a few pages further, I saw only those familiar names.

Bai Liang was involved in the segment starring Yang Yang and Zhao Jinmai, called "Companions".

He wasn't exactly a lead actor in this segment; he only filmed for a little over a day, so it was more of a special guest appearance.

Yang Yang and Zhao Jinmai play doctors.
The screenwriter was quite meticulous in this regard. Yang Yang's character is set as an intern doctor, while Zhao Jinmai is actually just a laboratory doctor at a community health center.

Otherwise, with such a delicate face, it would be absurd to say she's a doctor.

Even though the dramatic events in the medical industry can sometimes be more exciting than the "minor squabbles" in the entertainment industry, even academic cliques can't force an 18-year-old girl to become a formal doctor, right?
Zhao Jinmai: The entertainment industry is no small matter, brother. You and the ladies have made quite a stir!

Although she knew that Bai Liang's talk of "getting married this year, having a baby next year, and having two children the year after" was utter nonsense, her main dissatisfaction stemmed from...
Stop treating her like a child!

She's an adult now! She's old enough to film kissing scenes!
"Brother, you promised me that you would experience youth after the college entrance exam," Zhao Jinmai skipped the recent hot topic of "Glory" and instead brought up old grievances with Bai Liang.

It seemed as if they were afraid he would deny it.

"Yes, I remember~" Bai Liang nodded.

How could I go back on my word? I promised Sister Meng I'd take her to Wuhan University to see the cherry blossoms, and I did.

Moreover, the more "children" they are, the less you should lie to them.

Adults weigh the pros and cons and try to convince themselves not to overthink it, but for "kids," these promises are truly something they'll always remember.
I might miss you for the rest of my life.

"What is it?!" the little girl asked expectantly.

Even her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Clearly, she had already filled in some blanks in her mind.
Bai Liang grinned slightly and asked, "Before you joined the crew, did your mother take you to sell all your high school books?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinmai already had a bad feeling, but she still nodded. "How much did you sell it for?"

"More than two hundred yuan."

"Come on, give it to me."

Zhao Jinmai obediently transferred the money to Bai Liang and then waited for what would happen next.

To his surprise, this guy said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Huh? That's it?"

"To be precise, this meal is your treat for your youth. We only spent this much money on food, so it's meaningful, right?"

When people are speechless, they really are speechless. Zhao Jinmai felt so angry that she couldn't speak.

However, Bai Liang added, "Isn't a normal person's youth just about these books? Don't be misled by those melodramatic coming-of-age movies."

"Was your youth like this, brother?"

Bai Liang: Of course not. Apart from things like abortions and fights, my youth was much more exciting than any movie.

However, when facing Zhao Jinmai, he chose to tell a little white lie, looking up at the sky, "Yes, yes~"

Okay~
The little girl is very easy to fool, and what else can she do but accept this explanation?

Because she had no other choice!

Cunning older single men
But what Zhao Jinmai never expected was that she could share this "youthful" experience with many people.

When she saw Yang Yang with a proper smile and Han Haolin, the "Little Fan Xian," with a silly grin in the evening, she really didn't know what to say.

Now that she's an adult, it's time for her to start contributing her resentment to the Evil Sword Immortal.
Bai Liang has misunderstood this point.

He had originally thought that his "perfunctory" attitude was not quite right, so he decided to invite Yang Yang along as well. Two top male stars would have dinner with the young girl and "reminisce" about their lost youth with her. Wouldn't that be enough sincerity?

As for Han Haolin, well, he just happened to join the crew~
As the actor who plays young Fan Xian, Bai Liang felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to make a cameo appearance as a younger version of himself.

Although I was much cuter than him when I was little~
In short, let's give Zhao Jinmai a full-on "farewell banquet for youth"!
Yang Yang and Han Haolin both felt it was very meaningful! They didn't mind that the four of them spent more than two hundred yuan.

I found a small restaurant and had a meal. In the end, there were two pieces left.

Even Bai Liang didn't waste his money, buying a lollipop for each of Zhao Jinmai and Han Haolin.

They successfully made a clean profit from the young girl's "youth expenses."

It's perfect!
Zhao Jinmai:
The only consolation for her was that after dinner, Bai Liang didn't immediately send her back to the hotel to "go to jail" as he had done before.

Instead, he took her for a stroll outside.

The little girl's resentment was immediately blown away by the summer breeze.
With her hands behind her back, she followed Bai Liang half a step behind, and the two chatted casually.

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but share her plans and arrangements for going to university. After receiving Bai Liang's praise, she felt even happier.

Back at the hotel, still feeling unsatisfied, she put her little brain to work and successfully came up with an idea!

"Brother, 'Go Go Squid!' premiered today!"

"Really? Yes, it seems to be today."

Let's watch it together!

"Alright~"

After achieving her goal, Zhao Jinmai was overjoyed. However, although she hadn't been really interested in watching TV dramas at first, she soon found herself unable to stop.
Hmm, this show is pretty good!

She had actually watched "Glory" before, and although people online said it was very sweet, she didn't feel it particularly.

The development of relationships between older men and women didn't resonate with her enough; it seemed too natural.

But Intimacy is different!
Although "Go Go Squid!" has only just begun, the age settings of the male and female leads and the plot have made her feel very involved!
Love at first sight in the very first episode!
A young girl actively pursues a cold, aloof "older man," or more accurately, a cold, older single man.
She'll probably have to take notes on this plot later.

However, she couldn't help but offer a small "opinion": "It's a story about a cool, aloof older brother and a cute little girl, but Sister Nazha isn't actually that much of a little girl."

"I'm not an old man, nor am I aloof~"

Bai Liang felt there was no problem, because apart from her face not fitting the loli character design, Na Zha was quite well done in other aspects.

It's not just about whether someone is a loli; cuteness and softness are the most important things.

Moreover, the female lead, Tong Nian, is also big-breasted and has long legs.

Nazha, who deliberately gained some weight before filming, meets this requirement.

When adapting a story for film, it's practically impossible to find an actor who perfectly matches the character's personality. Being able to achieve most of those qualities is already enough to gain audience approval.

Despite saying he wasn't an old man, Bai Liang suddenly realized after glancing at eighteen-year-old Zhao Jinmai that he probably was.

But he's definitely not as aloof as Han Shangyan. He's more like a warm, radiant sun; everyone who gets close to him says he's gentle and kind.

After the TV series ended, Zhao Jinmai was supposed to go back to her room to sleep, but before she left, she suddenly bit her lip, as if she had made a decision.
Then he reached into his small bag.

When Bai Liang saw this, he almost thought she was going to pull out a magic wand and transform into a Balala the Fairy.

As a result, the little girl took out the stone with a sheep carved on it that he had given her before, looking very serious.
Holding the stone, his eyes were wide open, full of anticipation.

Clearly, she was about to "make a wish".

Bai Liang: It was only then that I realized I seemed to have quite a lot of "debts" to owe.
Those students who "make wishes" and "fulfill wishes" under his Weibo posts are just having fun.

If you really want to see people making wishes, you should go to the older and younger girls.

"Okay, what show? Even if you asked me to act in Balala the Fairies with you, I'd accept it," Bai Liang said with a smile.

"Brother, you really said yes?"

To be honest, Zhao Jinmai's decision to pull out that stone was just a momentary impulse—a side effect of watching TV dramas.

Actually, I regretted it a second ago.

Because she is just young, not naive.

Who is Bai Liang? He's a top-tier male actor in the industry, with a ton of projects waiting for him to "favor" him; his schedule is fully booked for at least the next two years.

It's absurd for her to hold a stone and "make a wish" there; how could she possibly succeed?
Just thinking about all the troubles involved makes her feel overwhelmed for the other party.

However, that's the result.
Bai Liang agreed without asking any questions or even inquiring about the timeframe.

"What do you mean by 'really agreeing'? Didn't I already agree to that? As a reliable adult, you have to keep your word, don't you think?"

A few minutes later, Zhao Jinmai came out of Bai Liang's room, feeling completely dizzy.

I stood in the hallway for several minutes and still didn't seem to recover.

After she left, Bai Liang smiled, shook his head, took out his phone, and called Yanzi.

"Brother Xiaobai, what's wrong? The ratings for 'Intimacy' haven't come out yet, I'm keeping an eye on it," Yanzi said, as reliable as ever.

But clearly, Bai Liang is going to be unreliable again today.

"Yanzi, turn down 'Blossoms'."
