Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 523 The Premiere Lineup Gets Increasingly Outrageous
What's it like to hold a girl in your arms and watch TV together while you kiss another woman?
Bai Liang couldn't quite put his finger on it.

That's pretty strange~
He had never done anything like this before; usually, in TV dramas, whoever he was being intimate with would be the person next to him.

This avoids those strange problems and can actually add a unique atmosphere.

And now~
Before Naza grabbed the remote, she was kissing him.
As soon as the TV was turned on, she saw her "husband" being intimate with another woman.

Nazha was stunned for several seconds before she reacted, "Xiaobao, weren't you just making a cameo appearance? Why are you starring in the main role?"

"That's a good question, but our appearance on the set of 'The Times' is more like a cameo."

This example wasn't very good. Even that silly little Nazha could spot the difference and immediately retorted, "Yeah, so it's the two of us kissing, you didn't kiss Yaoyao."

Bai Liang: How do you know I didn't kiss him?
cough cough.

"This drama is like that. The subject matter is relatively realistic. You can tell from the name, 'Nothing But Thirty,' which tells the story of older women. There are three female leads, two of whom are married, so it's normal for them to kiss."

This time, Naza was a little confused. "Really?"

Upon closer examination, it does seem to make sense.
At this point, Bai Liang started to dislike how damn smart TVs were these days.

It even allows you to go back and watch it again.

Nazha watched Bai Liang and Mao Xiaotong's kissing scene again and discovered more details.

"Why are your hands so dirty, and why are you holding someone's face like that?"

Seeing that Zha looked like she was here to cause trouble, Bai Liang had no choice but to explain to her.

"It's a kind of contrast, I guess. A woman who used to be very conventional suddenly becomes passionate after her divorce, so she has to do something different from before."

"Your paws can't be all black either, I definitely can't stand that, it'll get my face all dirty!"

Naza first touched her own face, then grabbed Bai Liang's hand and looked at it. Hmm, his nails were neatly trimmed, and his overall appearance was very clean.

However, Bai Liang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "You, are you clean? Really?"

"Where am I not clean?" Nazha immediately became unhappy, raising his tone to a whole level, as if he was about to shout.

It's hard to say whether Bai Liang is less clean in comparison. Although it's not good to compare Nazha and Reba, who can resist doing so? They'll definitely make a comparison subconsciously.

When Dilraba is given the opportunity, she has to wash up before doing anything, and after washing up, she has to "approve" the process. If she can't "pass the approval", she even has to "rework".

Getting into the zone is also relatively slow, as if there's a "snack" in it.

As for Naza, she relies more on her feelings. Even if Bai Lianggang is covered in sweat, she doesn't mind at all if she feels like it and just sucks on him.

Oh right, she herself is the same way; she often "does things" without even taking a shower.

The main feature is that it gets you into the zone very quickly and is quite addictive.

It seems that the sticky or slightly unclean state is more stimulating to her.
But Naza himself had a lot to say about this.

Where?
She's so clean, otherwise how could she have shaved so clean?

as for other
"Well, it's because I like you, and now you're saying I'm not clean and I'm getting angry!"

With a pout and her eyes darting to the side, she gave off an air of "you'll have to coax her to calm her down."

Bai Liang naturally had a way to deal with her coquettish behavior: he would just hug her face and kiss her a few times.

Even if the scope of relatives is broader.
After about ten seconds, she gave in, saying, "It itches~ Please stop! I'm not clean, I'm unhygienic, I'm filthy."

"Children who are not clean will be punished!"

Hearing this, her cheeks puffed up like little buns. She understood what he meant, but her eyes were already filled with a flirtatious air. She rolled her eyes at Bai Liang and then used her knees to prop herself up.
boo~
She glanced at it, then picked up a hair tie and, while tying her hair up, deliberately feigned disgust, saying, "You're the one who's unclean and unhygienic, you're filthy, you stinky man~"

Bai Liang insisted that he was completely innocent, as he had already taken a shower.

That unhygienic girl hasn't taken a shower yet, and her stockings are still the same ones she wore all day.

But there's no need to keep it for washing; it's already been torn open with a big hole. Just throw it away later.

However, at this point, these things don't seem to be too important.

After all, Nazha only made a slight complaint because the topic was brought up, but he didn't really mean it.
Bai Liang relaxed his body, tilted his head back, and picked up the TV remote to continue playing "Nothing But Thirty," which he had just paused.

He contributed some viewership to this currently popular drama, so at least he did participate in it.

Naza really enjoys watching this drama, perhaps because she's not far from turning thirty.

Even while busy, he doesn't forget to glance at the plot every now and then.
-
How popular is the TV series "Nothing But Thirty" lately?
A phenomenal hit drama!
It quickly sparked heated discussions among the public after it premiered.

In 2020, the first batch of post-90s generation turned thirty.

It directly addresses the common anxieties and transformations of humankind, particularly the anxieties and transformations of women in their thirties—a topic that resonates deeply with many.

The three female protagonists in the drama represent three relatively typical female images, making it easy for viewers to find themselves reflected in them.

Lines such as "Marriage is a safe haven, but if everyone wants to find shelter, who will be the harbor?" and "Thirty-year-olds don't have the carefree spirit of twenty-year-olds, nor the serene composure of forty-year-olds," directly address pain points and evoke widespread emotional resonance.

At the same time, this drama also echoes the wave of popularity previously sparked by "Sisters Who Make Waves".

This is precisely the time when everyone is interested in these older single women~
In addition, Bai Liang had been sweetly romantic with Nazha and Dilraba for so long recently, and the screen was filled with sweet love stories, which was almost too cloying. The market just needed a change of pace and some melodrama.

So this show came out of nowhere, but unsurprisingly became a huge hit.

All three female protagonists benefited greatly.

However, there was a twist where the second lead overpowered the first, with Gu Jia, played by Tong Yao, forcefully taking over and suppressing Jiang Shuying.

Even though such a hit drama was suppressed, its level of discussion was still quite exaggerated.

Even Mao Xiaotong, whose role was relatively the least prominent and received less discussion, experienced a surge in popularity after Bai Liang's special appearance and her romantic storyline were brought to the forefront.

However, netizens jokingly said that Bai Liang should play Liang Haiwang instead.

With so many scandals surrounding him, why doesn't he become a playboy and hook up with luxury goods saleswomen, instead of having a pure love affair with a demure local woman?
It's just a bit tough on Yang Lei, the male lead who is Mao Xiaotong's official love interest in this drama.

Lin Youyou, the third party in Gu Jia's storyline, is getting slammed, but when the "third party" appears on his side, the comments and bullet screens are full of people hoping she'll take his place.
Lin Youyou. This character is indeed very popular; she even knows how to lick ice cream.

Naza learned a trick from her.

Bai Liang sensed something was wrong, but given his luck, it was impossible for Na Zha to secretly go out for tutoring. It turned out he learned it from a TV drama!
You can actually learn something from watching TV dramas!

However, since she had been so engrossed in watching this drama these past two days, Bai Liang couldn't help but mischievously say, "You're aiding the enemy! If 'Nothing But Thirty' continues to be a hit, our drama might lose its title as the king of dramas."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Nazha immediately said that he would not watch it and would wait until next year!
It's as if whether this drama will threaten the throne of "Intimate" as the king of dramas depends entirely on whether she supports it or not.

However, when Nazha stopped watching TV dramas, he discovered that Bai Liang, that wicked guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, had also gone to "aid the enemy."

He had already retweeted a Weibo post to promote "Nothing But Thirty," and now he's still editing a second one.
How can this be allowed?

"traitor!"

Na Zha didn't snatch the phone, but he jumped out and righteously accused Bai Liang.

"After all, I was in the show, so it's only natural for me to help promote it."

"What if this show surpasses ours? I want to be the king of dramas!" At this moment, Nazha wished he could grow a tail from his butt and wagged it at Bai Liang.

"Let's see if we can beat 'Honor of Kings' first. It's not that easy."

Bai Liang still hasn't fully counted how many buffs "Intimate" had back then, and there were so many other things to do during that time, with almost a dozen trending topics on social media every day.

When this show aired, its data was comparable to the king of dramas, "Joy of Life," and it almost achieved the pinnacle of success that a sweet romance drama could reach.

So even though "Nothing But Thirty" is a phenomenal hit drama, it's really too difficult for it to surpass that level. It would be more like bringing up "The Storm" instead.

Unfortunately, "Raging Waves" hasn't been filmed yet, and the script is still in Bai Liang's hands.

To be precise, it's one of the notebooks.

This batch of scripts all came from iQiyi. Among the major platforms, Bai Liang has collaborated with iQiyi the least and with Tencent the most.

Even though some dramas are broadcast on iQiyi, they mostly serve as a distribution channel and don't dominate the market. However, a while ago, Yanzi happened to "favor" iQiyi and picked out a script for Bai Liang called "Police Glory," saying it had a "protecting Jiefang West" vibe.

As it turned out, iQiyi seemed to think that Bai Liang had suddenly become interested in police-themed content, so they immediately sent over a bunch of them.

The purpose was clearly to secure his later schedule.

After all, Bai Liang's schedule is extremely difficult to secure. You really can't be sure of getting the job unless you book at least two years in advance, unless you use connections like those young ladies who cut in line.

However, Bai Liang hadn't decided whether to accept the offer yet.

ding dong~
Just as Nazha was still accusing Bai Liang of "colluding with the enemy," a message came in.

It was Mao Xiaotong who came to thank him for helping to retweet the Weibo post.

This woman seems to be putting on an act; the long paragraph at the beginning is clearly a thank-you template someone else prepared for her, and the truly meaningful part is the last sentence.

Can I attend your movie premiere?

"That's a strange way of putting it. Do you think I'd stop you at the door and not let you in?" Bai Liang said with a laugh.

Naza, however, argued confidently, "I'm afraid some people don't want me to show up—otherwise, I'll steal the spotlight!"

"You're quite confident."

"I'm so beautiful and pretty, it's perfectly reasonable! When the time comes, those two leading ladies in your movie will be overshadowed by me in no time."

I don't know why, but when that guy said such cringeworthy and arrogant lines, it didn't feel out of place at all.

It felt like something she would say.

As for outshining the female lead, to be honest, Naza definitely outshone Dudu, no doubt about that.

However, Dudu in the movie "Better Days" doesn't need to outshine anyone.

She's under a lot of pressure right now. She's about to show everyone the ugliest look of her life. Dudu also has a goddess image to maintain.

To put it simply, anyone who goes there would probably outshine her.

Bai Liang had already replied to Mao Xiaotong's message on his phone: "Premiere? Come on! What's wrong with that?"

ding dong~
ding dong~
ding dong~
Throughout the day, Bai Liang's phone seemed to ring incessantly.

Chen Yao couldn't help but glance at him sideways, "So many people are looking for him?"

She muttered softly, but Na Zha overheard her and casually remarked, "It's probably just some chattering in a group chat that they forgot to mute. I'll remind them later."

A group? It doesn't seem like it.
The group chat for the "Joy of Life Sisters" was quite lively today.

People are discussing whether or not to attend the premiere.
Although they all said they might not be available or could not go, based on Chen Yao's understanding of these people, she felt that none of them would be absent when the time came.

Who knows, it might be those sluts who are secretly messaging Bai Liang.
The reason for this sudden buzz is that the premiere of the movie "Better Days" was only confirmed today, and the news was released to the public.

That's why Bai Liang's phone kept ringing.
A masterpiece that saves the world!

After such a long period of stagnation in the film industry, this first battle in the market recovery is one that cannot be lost.

Although Bai Liang himself didn't take this matter to heart at all, and didn't feel any pressure whatsoever.

But the older and younger women said: Even though you don't say it, I still care about you.
It was as if they could see right through his "pretend" and the "weakness" beneath it.

How could I not be there to show my support!
We have to cheer him on right here and now, and show him our support.

Then Bai Liang, who was fearless, agreed to everything.

Come on, come on! It's more lively with more people.

"By the way, Yao Yao, are you going to his movie premiere later?" Na Zha asked Chen Yao casually.

Hearing this, Chen Yao paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Go!"

"Don't you still have filming to do? Can you wrap up so early?"

It's okay, Chen Yao said she could take a day off.
-
"Sis, it's all arranged. I finally managed to free up half a day, and I have to leave right after the premiere. There's really no way I can stay any longer."

Hearing this, Reba nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, the assistant asked, puzzled, "Sis, why do we have to go? We can just help Xiaobai promote him on Weibo."

Dilraba bluntly replied, "Because she'll be there!"

"Gulnazar? Not necessarily. She didn't always attend the premieres of Xiaobai's movies."

"I'll definitely go this time!" Dilraba said with certainty.

She knows her fellow townsman too well; with such an important timeframe for a movie, he'd probably turn down any other gigs he's already taken on.

That's what love-brain is like.

If the other party can do it, so can I!
-
Li Yitong: "Xiaotian, your big sister is taking you to the premiere~ Remember to make time for it."

"Okay, sister! Just the two of us?" Xiao Tian thought to herself that she was going to have to deal with that annoying little dog Zhou Ye again, but for the sake of the premiere, she could temporarily let it go.

"Uh," Li Yitong hesitated for a moment, "there might be some other 'bad women,' Xiaotian, please protect me then~"

These words stunned Xiaotian. Other bad women? How many?
However, as a private first class, she said she was not afraid of any number of "enemies" and would just do it!

"Resolutely complete the mission!"
-
One after another, Da Mimi, Da Tiantian, Sister Zhao, and Ni Ni made time specifically for themselves.
As the release date of "Better Days" draws closer, Dudu is starting to get really nervous.

Image is secondary; her hair has grown back anyway.

The main concern is that I'm worried about holding Bai Liang back.
She couldn't help but reveal this when she was talking to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye retorted, "Sister Dudu, I think you should worry about something else."

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

"Didn't Sister Meng say in the group chat that they're going to the premiere?"

"Go ahead and show your support, it's perfectly normal."

“Them!” Zhou Ye emphasized again.

Chen Duling looked confused and didn't quite understand the situation.

However, when she saw her "Death Note," she suddenly shuddered.

they?

How much?
Chen Duling was about to charge forward when she bumped into Sister Zhao and was easily crushed.

When she spent the night in Bai Liang's room and mustered up the courage to try again, Da Tiantian turned around and started posting on Weibo, giving her a blow from afar.

Recently, Dudu feels like she's standing up again.

Having summarized the previous shortcomings and blunders, I want to make a comeback and start over.

She felt that she would definitely not act the same way as last time when facing Sister Zhao again, because she went back and thoroughly reviewed and studied the situation.

However~
Zhou Ye's use of the word "they" suddenly left her somewhat bewildered.

No, how many of these "them" are there?

After thinking about it for a moment, Dudu realized that she was scaring herself.

With the entertainment industry now fully back to work, everyone is very busy, especially the most popular artists. It's impossible for them all to take time out of their busy schedules to attend premieres.

That shouldn't be the case, right?

Dudu's heart began to pound for no reason; she had a very ominous premonition.

At this moment, Dudu had no idea what kind of premiere lineup she, the leading lady, was about to face.
