Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 543 Killing Someone's Money Tree with Water
Some things are worth less than four ounces if they are not weighed, and they cannot be weighed even a thousand pounds if they are weighed.

Many people found it strange that Guan Hu bowed to the monument with his hands behind his back.

You've already made this type of movie, yet you still insist on adding some ambiguous signals, which makes people feel very conflicted.

Wouldn't it be better to subtly add some of these kinds of personal touches?
Yanzi and Xiaoshui just ripped off their fig leaves.

Why do we have to do it this way?

Because someone in a certain circle is watching him!

He's an insider; his success in the first half of his life was entirely due to this circle. He's a senior figure, and he probably gives a lot of advice to others on how to maintain "independent thinking."

Suddenly one day, an irresistible reason forced him to betray the consensus of a certain circle and publicly express his opinion on a certain matter, which really put him in a difficult position.

What can we do?

So, he bowed with his front half, saying, "Eternal glory to the martyrs"; then he put his hands behind his back, saying, "I was just teasing them."

He was obsequious at first but arrogant later; he outwardly complied but inwardly defied.

From this perspective, it's fair to say that we're putting this guy in a difficult position.

No wonder he was the one who praised Wu Moufan when filming "Mr. Six," saying things like, "He's different from other boys of this generation because of his upbringing and experiences abroad. I think he's very clean, and his eyes are full of innocence."

To put it in a more exaggerated way, it seems that "artists" all like to do this: kneel down and wave their fists in a gesture of conquest.

However, it can be said that this thing has caught a "good time".

From the pandemic era to the future post-pandemic era, this period coincides with a time when Chinese people are increasingly focused on cultural confidence while simultaneously developing a deep distrust of cultural figures.

Public intellectuals and influential figures have fallen from grace and even become pariahs.

Things that could be glossed over in the past, but now, let's not go to extremes, they'll at least make him suffer the consequences.

That said, these types of players do have one rather... unique trait: they're incredibly stubborn!

You think he's hypocritical, but he thinks he's genuine.

Ultimately, it was his deep-seated class consciousness and aristocratic sense that caused the problem.

Of course, he might not admit it or think so.

He at most thought that this was the style of Sixth Master from his childhood memories.

And sure enough, the latest developments are always fresh, this time it's not "The Sacrifice" but "The Eight Hundred".

His photo with the son of the fleeing general has also been unearthed.

To be honest, Yanzi thought Xiaoshui's comment about the other guy's crooked butt was a bit of an exaggeration, but now it seems that this guy's butt isn't crooked at all; most of his butt is showing.

Dude, I'm digging up some dirt on you, and you really do have some serious issues!
"You guys can't accidentally kill yourselves off because of this movie, can you?" Bai Liang, who had been bored these past few days and had been following the gossip, asked curiously.

He really hadn't expected those two girls to cause such a commotion.

Right now, Guan Hu will be framed and criticized online.

"It won't be that bad. If this film really fails or something, Huayi will be in deep trouble. They still have to consider the impact. It won't escalate that much; at most, it'll be barely alive," Xiaoshui said with experience.

"You two are quite kind," Bai Liang commented.

Kind?

Xiao Shui didn't quite understand what she meant, but Yan Zi immediately got it, suppressing a laugh as she said, "My little Bai Ge is still thinking about killing someone else's money tree with too much water!"

"No... How can he be so childish at twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old?" Xiao Shui said speechlessly.

After thinking about it, Yanzi suddenly realized that Brother Xiaobai might not be joking or being childish.

He genuinely believed that killing someone else's company's money tree would be useful.

Metaphysics is just feudal superstition to other people, something to be enjoyed for fun.

But with their own Xiaobai, it might be for real.
After all, to be honest, Bai Liang did have some grudges against that circle. They weren't joking with him about that dual contract.

Although the matter was dropped due to some "minor accidents," Fan Bingbing's sudden outburst later covered it up.

But in the end, a grudge is a grudge, and Yanzi's sudden and ruthless actions this time were not entirely for the sake of targeting her rivals.

After all, the resources and effort invested are hardly considered to be harming others for personal gain.

It's really not worth it for that little bit of box office growth.

But Yanzi just wanted to stand up for her little Bai Ge!
It’s not that you don’t report that the time has not come yet.

You've got some nerve trying to drag us down with you!
However, Bai Liang wasn't particularly attached to this. He was incredibly lazy in some ways, even when flirting, he was the passive type. He generally wouldn't take it to heart if someone tried to provoke him or anything like that.

If this incident hadn't reminded him, he probably would have completely forgotten about it.

The reason I praised Yanzi and the others for being "kind" is because if he had really sent someone to kill the other party's money tree, the commotion would have been much bigger than it is now.

Good luck always plays tricks on you, but true luck never jokes around.

Fortunately, Master Bai withdrew his "I don't eat beef" message, letting Yanzi and the others go play by themselves.
Just then, his father suddenly called.

"Son, the game trailer is coming out tonight, remember to watch it."

"It's ahead of schedule?" Bai Liang asked, somewhat puzzled.

He's been quite busy lately and hasn't really been paying attention to this game.

After all, AAA games often take a very long time to develop, and it's exhausting to keep up with them all the time.

"Yeah, you've been quite active lately, so releasing this early can liven things up and also help ride your coattails."

Upon hearing this, Bai Liang remarked that it was truly difficult to say who was riding on whose coattails.
He originally thought that the first trailer wouldn't include any scenes of Yang Jian, for which he was the face model and voice actor, but judging from what his father said, it might actually be included.

Now he was really interested.

If it really looks that similar, then he probably wants to experience what it's like to control a monkey to fight himself in a game.

At that point, they might have to take the lead in pressuring production capacity.

This news was also shared with several other girls who were face models. Even though they were unlikely to appear in the first trailer, it did not diminish their excitement and curiosity.

We've been acting in TV dramas for so long, but we've never actually acted in a game before!
"I hope it won't turn out like 'Legend of Ravaging Dynasties,' which had a bit of a game CG feel to it."

"Sister Meng, you're finished. I took a screenshot. You actually compared this to 'Legend of Ravaging Dynasties'."

The wicked little cat is never absent when doing this kind of thing, accurately seizing Meng Jie's every weakness.

However, Sister Meng declared that she was no longer the naive girl she once was, and immediately escalated her anger towards Li Yitong: "Tongtong! If you keep this up, I'm going to kick you out!"

"Wow~ Sister Meng has really stood up for herself, so powerful and domineering! I support kicking this evil little kitten out, she's too much of a troublemaker~" "Kick her out +1, she's really wicked now, scheming against others every day."

"I think so too. Taking a screenshot is just too much!"

"."

Despite the combined condemnation from her sisters, the wicked kitten remained unfazed.

Come on, come on! Let's fight!
Could she be afraid of these chickens and dogs?

It's a good opportunity to practice on the sisters, after all, she's mentally prepared to face off against those two from Xinjiang!
Of course, she couldn't do it by herself, but with Xiaotian by her side, there wouldn't be any problem.

After a flurry of chatter in the group chat, the evil little cat was one against four, or maybe one against three and a half, since Chen Yao had been slacking off for a long time.

In short, even so, she was not at a disadvantage at all.

This is partly because Jin Daxi didn't give her a high level of intensity. After all, if Daxi used the same skill she used against Zhang Tianai in the group chat, she could probably make the sisters unable to take care of themselves.

But that kind of serious confrontation is definitely not something you can do in a group chat where people are just joking around.

However, as everyone can see, this wicked little cat is so proactive and aggressive right now. It's obvious it wants to get on the table!

The funny thing is, nobody pointed it out.

Unlike before when the girls in the group chat would talk about everything, now everyone is keeping things to themselves.
Even Sister Meng is the same!
She wouldn't tell anyone that she has a variety show called "Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom Village" coming up after the New Year next year.

This program is a reality show about living together in groups, produced by Tencent.

The model involves inviting 15 artists to live together in Taohuawu, 50 kilometers from Yanjing city, for 21 days. They will experience communal living, showcase the face of communal living in contemporary society, and explore the possibilities of a better communal living in the suburbs of the city in the new era.

Of course, these are not very important.

The important thing is that Sister Meng is preparing to secure Bai Liang's schedule!

When she received the invitation to the show, she immediately started asking about the guests.

Logically speaking, although Sister Meng is doing much better now than in the original timeline, her status is clearly not high enough to decide who the guests are on Tencent's programs.

However, the people at Tencent Video showed Meng Jie great respect.

It wasn't because of her "Sister Meng's" status in the underworld, but mainly because there was no other way.

She immediately asked, "Is Bai Liang coming? Did you invite him? Can we go and invite him?"

Who? Bai Liang?!
These two words were like a sudden awakening for the production team, and their gazes towards Sister Meng became incredibly "kind."

That would be great! We'd love to have that too!

The production team enthusiastically pulled Meng Jie aside for a long discussion, and then used her as a rallying cry to talk to Yanzi about the matter.

Yanzi didn't really care about this. The timing of the recording was quite coincidental, as it happened right after Bai Liang finished filming "The Battle at Lake Changjin".

Besides, we still have to give Sister Meng face.

Others might think Sister Meng is a little Karami, but Yanzi doesn't think so.

She even knew that Sister Meng was her boyfriend Xiaobai's first girlfriend in the entertainment industry, and possibly his only one.

There's no way around it; given Bai Liang's methods and style, no girl has ever actually gotten the title of "girlfriend."

Even Naza and Reba.

These two clashed early on, and neither of them had actually spoken to Bai Liang about this identity.

However, both of them were aiming for an even more direct and prestigious identity.
In short, Yanzi knew very well how special Sister Meng was!
But she didn't agree immediately, after all, personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business.

We'll have to see what the conditions are like at "Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Village".

As for what Sister Meng said to herself: "Aren't you going to be in 'The Battle at Lake Changjin' later? Just talk to Brother Xiaobai and be cute to his face. If he agrees, I have no problem with that."

These words were meant to appease Sister Meng; by then, the terms with the production team should have been mostly agreed upon.

But Sister Meng really took it to heart, feeling that success or failure hinged on this moment.

Although her role in "The Battle at Lake Changjin" was just a cameo, she did get to spend a few days with Bai Liang.

I've been thinking about how to act cute and charming lately~
This is the biggest thing she's been thinking about lately!
The key point is that not a single word leaked out of the group chat!
If this were before, she probably would have already started showing off.

But she's not the same young girl in her early twenties anymore. In a few months, she'll be twenty-five, which means she's a grown woman.

They may not be entirely shrewd yet, but they've already managed to keep their mouths shut a little in certain areas.

Of course, most of the time they still can't be controlled.

God knows how many times she almost blurted it out in the group chat. Several times she typed the words out, then realized something was wrong and quickly deleted them.

The reason Meng Jie was able to do this was not because she was particularly remarkable.

My sisters are just too cunning!
Especially that evil little cat.

She'll find out about this, and I reckon she'll be coming over soon, drawn by the smell.
The most unanimous opinion in the group lately is that Li Yitong's behavior is too unsightly! She tries to lick everything!

This was revealed by Li Xin in the group chat, exposing all of the evil little cat's secrets.

However, Li Yitong immediately revealed that she had also set her sights on Bai Lu's project, warning everyone not to be fooled and that this woman was no good.

Recently, both of them have been working hard on the "Police Glory" project, and with Bai Lu joining in, the three of them have been fighting tooth and nail in private.

However, it will probably be some time before a winner is decided, as each of the three has its own advantages.

Bai Lu is younger and more suitable for the role.
Li Yitong has a low salary but high cost-effectiveness.

Li Xin has extensive acting experience and a solid foundation.

The three forces still have a long way to go.

However, because the three of them fought so fiercely, they also helped to clear the area.

Other actresses who originally wanted to try and get close to Bai Liang through the show simply backed away after seeing this.

In short, everyone in this group is doing their own thing in private. They all keep it hidden, and unless you bump into them head-on, they keep it incredibly secret.

At the same time, they don't forget to criticize and despise each other. The atmosphere is completely different from when it first started.

It seems that all the sisterhood groups in the entertainment industry follow this cycle.

From being inseparable at the beginning, they gradually became wary of each other or grew distant for various reasons.

Yang Mi has a lot of experience in this area!
