Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 540 The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this.
"Bai Mengyan, what are you thinking about? You made so many mistakes today, the director almost yelled at you!"

Seeing her assistant pointing and gesturing, Bai Lu was speechless. "I'm not in good shape. My schedule has been too packed lately, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by filming non-stop."

"The way you're saying it makes it sound like you're showing off how good your resources are," her assistant and best friend said, somewhat amused.

"My resources are really good!" Bai Lu immediately showed off what it means to be beaming with joy. Hehe, good resources this year, even better resources next year!
The drama she is currently filming is called "Yu Lou Chun," which is a joint production of her company, Dongyang Huanyu, and Youku.

Clearly, the company has shifted its resources toward her.

She'll officially become the company's top female star in no time!

However, Bai Lu's opponents are not limited to those within the company.

The thought that the female lead of "The Ballad of Li Ge," which was also produced by Dongyang Huanyu, was snatched away by Li Yitong made her grit her teeth in hatred.

Even if Wu Jinyan were to play the role, she would be better than Li Yitong!
That woman is so annoying! Why is she everywhere?
When Bai Lu performed her "face-changing" trick in front of her, her best friend was stunned.

Goodness, one second he's all smiles, the next he's gritting his teeth!
Is he having a split personality?!

After Bai Lu shared her troubles, her best friend said she couldn't help, since Yu Zheng was willing to use her. There was really nothing she could do.

"But I heard that Li Yitong's salary is really low, no wonder President Yu likes to use her, it's a good deal~ Everyone says she has a super high cost performance!"

Hearing this, Bai Lu was displeased. "Her behavior is disrupting the market. She's been doing this before, and she's doing it again now. It's just deliberately disgusting!"

"That makes sense, let's lower our prices too! Let's crush her!"

"Then you contribute your salary, and I'll charge you less~" Bai Lu rolled her eyes.

"How much is my salary anyway? You're going to dig this up? Bai Mengyan, you're even less human than her!"

"Who told you to deliberately eat delicious food in front of me yesterday, you lazy bum? You knew I was on a diet and couldn't eat it. How awful!"

"You can't say that. I was just testing your patience."

"."

After a heated exchange between the two, Bai Lu felt much better.

That's the good thing about having your best friend around; you can relieve stress by teasing each other a bit!

Just as the two finished their banter and continued to criticize Li Yitong, a figure passing by caught their attention.

Bai Lu's best friend immediately chimed in, "This Jin Cheng, she seems to have a really good relationship with Li Yitong~"

"It seems like these two are inseparable!"

Bai Lu glanced up at Jin Daxi, who seemed to sense her gaze and looked over, even nodding at her with a smile.

Hmph! Pretentious!

The two immediately started talking about crickets again, badmouthing Li Yitong while also bringing up Jin Daxi.

Since we're already here, let's all curse together!
What a big deal.

Compared to Li Yitong's annoying and bothersome nature, Jin Daxi is much "easier to deal with".

Because she played the second female lead in the drama "Yu Lou Chun".

This made Bai Lu feel quite pleased.

At the same time, he couldn't help but fantasize about becoming more successful and having Li Yitong play the second female lead for him!
Of course, this is a bit too much of a fantasy, and the possibility is almost zero.

Even if you do become more successful, it's not acceptable.

However, now that Li Yitong's best friend is playing a supporting role for her, it can be considered a minor replacement.

It's quite a coincidence that Jin Daxi, who just played the second female lead for Li Yitong in "The Great Girl," is now playing a supporting role to Bai Lu.

Unfortunately, when Da Xi was arguing with Tang Ren about terminating their contract, they had no acting opportunities at all.

She was embroiled in a lawsuit, and if Bai Liang hadn't spoken to Cai Yinong on her behalf, she wouldn't have been able to film "Joy of Life".

Now at least I can be a proper lead actor, a huge improvement!

All I can say is that she's doing slightly better than before, but it's still not good enough!

Fortunately, she has a thick skin and doesn't mind playing supporting roles everywhere she goes; she can still laugh.

After exchanging a smile and greeting with Bai Lu, Jin Daxi turned around, grinned, and pulled out his phone to chat with Li Yitong about crickets.

"Tongtong~ The people you messed with outside are now looking at me strangely. I'm breaking up with you!"

Li Yitong replied quickly, seemingly engrossed in her phone right now.

"What is the sex position for breaking up?"

"Pah! You big yellow girl. But for the two of us, I can turn it around~"

"You shameless woman, how dare you call me lewd?!"

"."

After a series of wild and provocative words between Li Yitong and Jin Daxi, the conversation finally returned to the main topic.

Who did she offend outside?
Li Yitong couldn't find a single corresponding target for those words at all.
After all, she's offended quite a few people.

The main point is that everyone has to poke around a bit~
After learning that Jin Daxi had actually gone to play a supporting role to Bai Lu, Li Yitong suddenly got a little angry and condemned her sister for being spineless!

Jin Daxi expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "Damn, this is all the resources I have right now. It's good enough that I can play the second female lead. I've already played a supporting role for you."

Li Yitong thought about it and agreed; she couldn't let her sisters go hungry.
However, she couldn't help but start stirring up trouble, trying to turn Da Xi into her "henchman".

"Go ahead and mess with her! She wouldn't dare bully you, would she?"

"She's the female lead, it's good enough that she's not making things difficult for me~" Da Xi was quite shrewd.

Where did the fierce temper you had when you confronted Zhang Tianai go?

"How can that be the same? I had a grudge against her before, but I have no grudge against Bai Lu. I was just dragged into this by you. I don't care, you have to make it up to me later and treat me to a meal."

"You greedy girl, all you know is food!" Li Yitong's eyes darted around. "Why don't you go and befriend her? I think your social skills are pretty good too."

"Bullshit! You think I'm Sister Meng? I don't have that kind of ability. You think I'd be your undercover agent? You watch too many cop movies!"

"Sigh," Li Yitong sighed, "What use are you? I was thinking of asking you to help me find out about her drama."

"You're still thinking of stealing it, huh?"

Jin Daxi was speechless. This wicked little cat seemed to be about to go crazy; it really wanted to offend people to death.

Why did she and Zhang Tianai fight so fiercely? Every time they met, they would hurl insults at each other, practically throwing around genitalia and cursing each other's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The fundamental reason is that they hijacked the deal!

Although the TV series "Martial Universe" didn't do very well, it doesn't matter whether I act in it or not now.

But the main problem is that I can't swallow my anger!

This kind of thing is the most offensive thing you can do in the entertainment industry, almost without exception.

In response, Li Yitong said, "You don't know anything."

The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this.

Jin Daxi:
This wicked little cat is truly "crazy"!
With such an exaggerated desire to exert her initiative, could she really be aiming for power?

Thinking of this, Da Xi gave her sister a thumbs up, hoping she would succeed.

However, just as she was having a passionate chat with Li Yitong, Li Xin suddenly showed up.
This "sister" wasn't as straightforward as the evil kitten; she started by rambling on about all sorts of things, basically trying to build rapport.

Then, they subtly steered the conversation toward the drama "Yu Lou Chun" that Da Xi is currently filming.

The clever Da Xi quickly figured out what Li Xin was up to.
Sure enough! Before long, their true colors were revealed!
I asked her about Bai Lu's recent activities, wanted to know how Da Xi's relationship with her was, and if she could find out any news about that drama.
Li Xin actually wants to do the same thing as Li Yitong!

"Holy crap, these two slutty sisters!" Da Xi, unable to contain himself any longer, couldn't help but swear and complain.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little nauseous. These green tea girls are really too insidious!

They all looked like innocent little white flowers, but their tricks were increasingly despicable.

Jin Daxi couldn't help but glance at Bai Lu, who seemed quite happy not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

What sins did this girl commit to be targeted by these two shameless people?

Just because they look a bit alike, did those two go and do this to them?
It shouldn't be that bad.
Da Xi was too lazy to think about the other reasons; she just wanted to have fun!
So, without hesitation, he told Li Yitong about Li Xin coming to see him. Second-generation characters are boring; a Three Kingdoms battle is much more fun!
Moreover, Da Xi and Li Yitong do have a better relationship, so it's only reasonable that Da Xi should provide her with more comprehensive "intelligence."

Sure enough, the wicked little cat jumped up and down!
"What is she trying to do?!"

"It should be what you want to do."

"I really want to improve!"

This shamelessness is truly unparalleled.

Jin Daxi couldn't hold back any longer, and then he started playing cricket with Li Yitong.

She would reply to Li Xin's messages from time to time, and this kind of happiness was something she couldn't resist.

After chatting for a while, Da Xi wondered if they could take the fun to the next level.

The answer is yes!
Making friends with Bai Lu is obviously quite difficult; people are wary of her.

But there's another person directly involved in this matter!

With a wicked grin, Jin Daxi packaged all the information and sent it to Bai Liang.

Come, Master, look at the "ugly faces" of these wicked women.

Of course, she thought Bai Liang would be quite pleased to see this.

A man~
Who wouldn't love seeing pretty girls vying for him?

It's incredibly fulfilling!

Da Xi felt that he had gained a lot of points in this round, but unfortunately it was of little use.

But it's really fun!

After waiting for a long time, Bai Liang actually replied to her with: "Too long, I didn't read it."

Jin Daxi was speechless. What a scoundrel of a man!

Damn, he's pretty handsome!
"Don't ignore it, it's really interesting!"

"That's really interesting. What positions are you and Li Yitong going to use?"

Ah this!

Da Xi then realized that she had also included the part of the chat that contained suggestive language. Oh no, that's terrible!

After slapping his forehead several times, he started frantically retracting his message.

Seeing her behavior, Bai Lu and her best friend, who were not far away, couldn't help but continue chirping crickets.

"Is she hurting herself? Why is she slapping her forehead for no reason?"

"I don't know, but she definitely seemed a bit crazy. Let me tell you, she was acting really strange at the premiere that day!"

"Huh? You haven't told me anything about her. What did she do?"

"She and Zhang Tianai were hurling insults at each other, and the language they used was incredibly vulgar."

"Ouch."

After doing something abstract, people usually can't help but look around, afraid of being discovered.

Da Xi did the same.

Then, with a bright and lively expression, she met Bai Lu's gaze again.

Both sides were in an awkward situation.

Okay, let's just have a laugh~
Then the two of them looked away at the same time, cursing in their hearts once more.

Meanwhile, Bai Liang sensed that Chen Duling and Zhou Ye were also internally cursing each other.
After the "cheating" incident that day, the two girls basically didn't have any serious communication.

In any case, everyone has their own grievances and their own dissatisfaction.

Chen Duling thought Zhou Ye was a jerk; how dare she be so bold! Couldn't she at least try to avoid people a little? Couldn't she at least go somewhere else?!
She was sleeping in the bedroom, and he dared to cheat on her in the suite's living room.

They're treating her like she's dead!

Zhou Ye felt that Chen Duling had set her up.

At first, they pretended not to know and acquiesced, but then they jumped out and turned on each other. How can they do that?!
That's all he's good at—bullying her. When he encounters someone more powerful, he just cowers like a turtle.
In short, everyone was full of resentment!

But on this occasion, their smiles are really needed.
Today is the celebration banquet for the 2.8 billion yuan box office success of "Better Days".

The film achieved such box office success in less than twenty days after its release, which is undoubtedly a great success.

However, these types of movies don't have much staying power, and by now their box office growth has dropped significantly.

Many people are expressing regret, seemingly feeling that it will be difficult for this film to break the 3 billion mark.

Although the figure of 2.8 billion is already exaggerated, Bai Liang's previous record was so outrageous that even some of his fans thought, "Is it really only 2.8 billion?"

The word "talent" may not hurt Bai Liang, but it will probably hurt other actors in the industry quite a bit.

In short, it wouldn't be good for the two leading ladies to have such sullen faces on this joyous occasion.

So Chen Duling and Zhou Ye were "forced" to smile, trying their best not to look at each other, which made their smiles seem more natural.
It's not natural at all!
The two of them were so obviously not right; anyone could see it!

Fortunately, the lineup for today's celebration party was much weaker than that for the premiere; otherwise, if the two of them were fighting amongst themselves, someone would have had to "take advantage of the situation."

"Ono, stop smiling so awkwardly. Where did your facial expression control go?"

Li Bingbing couldn't hold back any longer and pulled Zhou Ye aside to say something.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye reached out and rubbed his face, then flashed a bright smile.

"That's right~ Cheer up, and don't show your disagreements on your face."

Li Bingbing shook his head inwardly, thinking to himself that the kids these days still don't have the right attitude towards being in the entertainment industry.
Take her old rival Fan Bingbing as an example. When Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi were feuding on a show, all the fierce arguments were hidden behind smiles. If you turned off the sound and subtitles, you would definitely think that the two had a pretty good relationship.

The main focus is on being respectable.

Public figures should have some integrity in this regard.

However, their feud back then wasn't about men.
Li Bingbing thought about it and found it quite absurd. How come there are so many people in the entertainment industry these days who are obsessed with romance? And they're all clustered together!

Sure enough, just as she was thinking of helping Zhou Ye make more connections at this event, the little girl couldn't hold back any longer.

His eyes kept glancing in Bai Liang's direction.
He looked like he really wanted to go over there.

"We've been filming and promoting together for so long, is it okay to leave each other for a while? Why are you so clingy?" Li Bingbing laughed.

Faced with his boss's teasing, Zhou Ye almost turned into a red-hot dog.

Then he quickly made up an excuse, "Today is a celebration, such a special day."

"It hasn't even reached 3 billion in box office revenue yet, so it's not a particularly impressive film for him."

When Li Bingbing said this, she wondered if she had been passively getting carried away.

She sounded a little guilty saying "it hasn't even reached 3 billion yet," implying that the box office figures were already incredibly high in her eyes!

But compared to Bai Liang's other film works, it was utterly unremarkable.

It seems insignificant.

Zhou Ye then put his mind to work, "Adding this movie, Xiao Bai's total box office will be..."

"Come on, let's calculate now and see how much it is," Li Bingbing said with a smile.

Zhou Ye: Fine, then fine!

I was shocked when I calculated it.

Zhou Ye looked up blankly, "It seems... it's just over 30 billion."

"Fuck!"

This time, Li Bingbing, the big flower, was truly at her breaking point!
