Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 548 What a fine call to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming!
Bai Liang's achievements in beauty and hairdressing are not outstanding.

To be precise, he had never actually done this kind of work before.

Even if you ask him to help with makeup, he can do it himself, because he has actually learned some techniques in his spare time. He even did Dilraba's makeup on a variety show before.

But the topic of "haircutting" really hit a blind spot in his skills.

But it's okay, her older sister doesn't care.

I actually like his clumsy side; we can take it slow, right?
As long as my sister isn't hurt, anything is fine.

They even went up the bar!
"If you do a good job, you can leave a record of it!"

"What does 'leaving a trace' mean?" Bai Liang asked.

Da Mimi rolled her eyes at him, then handed him a marker.

Although the marker is quite thick, at first glance it seems that it can be used as a tool other than writing.

Bai Liang guessed the same thing, because the marker wasn't new; it was taken out of Da Mi Mi's bag.

I carry this thing with me at all times.
Without thinking of any other use for it, Bai Liang subconsciously took it and smelled it.

Before I could even smell anything, that older sister slapped me. What were you thinking, you little brat?!
A pen is, of course, used for writing!

As for the proper tools, my sister has her own special props.

Da Mimi is just waiting for the chance to pull it out and give Bai Liang a surprise, it's exactly the same as his!
As for getting a proper haircut now!

So Bai Liang, with the mindset of exploring a new field, began to learn and master this brand-new skill.

As everyone knows, he learns things very quickly. Although his super brain always tells him "it's time to use your super luck," Bai Liang is also willing to spend time and energy to study things he is interested in, and he masters them very quickly.

Meanwhile, the older sister also gave very good feedback.

I almost got him covered in it.

But the result was good.
I was cautious at first, but gradually I became more skilled.
When he finally used the marker, Bai Liang realized: Oh!

This is just like how those intangible cultural heritage artisans make things; after they finish making it, they leave a stamp to tell others that it is their own work.

"Sister Honey, you don't mean you want me to sign my name so you can get it tattooed on your stomach later, do you?" Bai Liang asked vaguely, biting the pen tip, before putting pen to paper.

The next second, Da Mimi kicked him, "You even tattooed it on your stomach? How could you be so naive? You're lucky you can even write a tally mark!"

Her kick didn't achieve anything; instead, Bai Liang grabbed her foot and held it there, leaving a mark.

The contact between the marker tip and her skin made Da Mimi feel a little itchy, and she bit her lip, trembling slightly.

"Not okay yet?"

"Wait a moment~"

Inspired by his creative impulse, Bai Liang first wrote a tally mark, then couldn't resist signing his name underneath. Afterward, feeling there was still space, he drew a Kapibala there.
Yes, Master Bai also has some interest in painting.

I must say, when I took a picture and showed it to my girlfriend, the Kapibala drawn with a marker was incredibly lifelike.

This gave the woman a slightly strange idea: getting a small tattoo wouldn't be a bad idea~
Fortunately, this idea was quickly interrupted, because Bai Liang, whose creative desire had been aroused, was not yet finished.

He then took the marker and started fiddling with it on Da Mimi's toes.

Yang Mi secretly wondered if she had spoiled him too much, lest he take advantage of her.
However, she breathed a sigh of relief when she thought that Bai Liang hadn't written any insulting words on her body, such as XN.

Garlic bird, garlic bird, let him do what he wants.

I've said long ago that I love him, I'd give him my life, it's just a few words.

However, when Bai Liang actually tried to do some writing on her back, Da Mimi couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to write on my back?"

"Serve the country with utmost loyalty."

"How many words have you written?!"

"I've only just begun writing about the rising smoke of war and the northward gaze upon the land."

Honey: ? ? ?

She shoved Bai Liang aside, ran to the mirror, looked at herself, and then realized she had been tricked.

There was nothing on that fair and smooth back.

With such a beautiful back, she couldn't bear to get cupping done, so how could she let that bastard Bai Liang write something like "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty"?

After realizing she'd been teased, Da Mimi pouted and then couldn't help but lift her toes to take a look.

Upon seeing this, he was dumbfounded.

Left foot clear, right foot repeats.

What a fine slogan of overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming!
"Do you believe I'll step on your face with my size 30 feet?!" Da Mimi said, spitting out her dog-like words.

"Huh? Is this considered creative incentive?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

I'll sit on you and kill you!

Ok?
Isn't this still a reward?
As it turns out, that marker pen could have other uses besides writing.

Bai Liang quickly put it to use.

However, after experiencing it for a while, Da Mimi felt it was very interesting, but she also told him that she had recently bought new props and could try them out.

After all, those are professional props.

When Bai Liang pulled out the so-called professional prop from the other person's suitcase, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

That damned evil kitten!

What exactly did she do with her data? Did she open a store?

Generally speaking, the other girls' "exclusive treasures" are kept very secret, and only a very few people may know about them.

This wicked little cat seems to appear everywhere.
Don't look back; she's no longer in the entertainment industry and has switched to selling this stuff.

"Sister Honey, let's use markers instead~" Bai Liang said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Da Mimi didn't really care. At her age, she had bought quite a few props, but it depends on who uses them.

No matter what props she used, she couldn't recreate the feeling of the marker pen in Bai Liang's hand.

It depends on the person.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Big Honey will not throw this marker away; she will carry it with her even after she has used it up.

It became her favorite "exclusive treasure".

"puff!"

"What laughing?"

"I just suddenly thought of something happy," Bai Liang quickly waved his hand and said.

However, Da Mimi was no little girl, and she immediately noticed that something was wrong with him. "Tell me the truth, or I'll show you what 'stopping the inch' really means today, and make you suffer!"

Such a serious "threat" forced Bai Liang to confess.

"Actually, I just remembered something happy. Honey, you sued those haters, right? That court hearing recording..."

Da Mimi:
You little brat!!!

If I don't snap you today, I'll never know how many eyes the Horse King has!
These few keywords alone were enough to awaken her memory.

The trial that targeted her haters had no deterrent effect whatsoever; instead, it gave her haters a chance to celebrate.

This also made her infamous for an insulting nickname.

That nickname is Bald Chicken.

That term was obviously used to mock her hairline; it's all that idiot Huang Zitao's fault.
Two years ago, Yang Mi collaborated with Huang Zitao, one of the four former members of EXO who returned to China, on a drama called "Negotiator".

The show didn't get good reviews, but the ratings were quite impressive.

This is also a testament to her talent. As a top-tier female celebrity who has been popular for many years, many of her projects have not received good reviews, but her business development and data performance are often outstanding.

However, the reputation of "The Negotiator" has collapsed particularly badly. It started with a score of 4.5 and now it's only around 3. It can definitely be considered the worst of the worst.

But it doesn't matter, right now Da Mi Mi doesn't care, all she cares about is her grades.

However, this very drama, which she was quite satisfied with, ended up becoming a dark chapter in her acting career.

In the drama, Huang Zitao lifted her messy bangs, instantly revealing a large expanse of her shiny forehead, completely exposing her hairline crisis.

She was so forced to get a hair transplant.

However, compared to Huang Zitao's act of touching her hair, which led to her having a dark history in this regard and corresponding insulting nicknames, Bai Liang's actions were actually more outrageous.

Who brings up this thing in bed?
But after calming down, Da Mimi wasn't so angry anymore, because she knew Bai Liang quite well and knew that he would never suddenly mock her hairline.

The only reason for this association is because...
Okay, no one else can see it anyway, and it was Bai Liang who shaved it for me.

Although she wasn't angry anymore, Da Mimi's eyes darted around, "That's not fair!"

"what?"

"Don't move! I'm going to shave your head too~"

Fairness, fairness, and what the hell is this fairness?!
Bai Liang naturally resisted this kind of thing, but if his sister insisted, he wouldn't refuse.

Fortunately, the older sister was kind-hearted. Seeing his "heroic sacrifice" posture, she only cut off a small tuft as a token gesture.

However, in the following days, Da Mi Mi was in a bad mood.

On the one hand, it's physically uncomfortable. As any guy who's ever shaved knows, when the stubble grows back after a clean shave, it's really prickly.

The same applies to other places.

The best way to avoid this problem is to go to a beauty salon every now and then and use laser treatments or similar methods to prevent it from growing back.

That's the trick Naza used, so he didn't have any problems with it from the beginning.

As for Da Mimi, if she wants to scratch, it's too unseemly; if she doesn't, it's really uncomfortable!

This was just the physical discomfort she was experiencing. She was there for a cameo role, but she ended up feeling like she'd been taught a lesson on set.

In the first two days after she arrived, apart from her cameo role, she didn't watch any other actors' scenes and just stayed in Bai Liang's RV.

She wasn't really interested in the show; she was only there because of the actors.

But after observing it for a while on a whim, I was truly speechless.

Why does everyone else seem to have better acting skills than her?
Yang Mi has never acted in a Noon Sunshine production, not even in a cameo role, because everyone's circles are different, and it's quite difficult for them to integrate.

Having once aspired to be a performing artist, she now experiences firsthand the impact of what it means to be a performing artist.

There are many good actors in the cast of "The Beginning", but the best performance is definitely by Aunt Guo.

Like a volcanic eruption, it's the madness of a mother who has lost her daughter, a state of despair, mania, and madness.
With Liu Dan's acting skills, if you put in a worse cast, everyone would look like greenhorns because of her.

Fortunately, the main actors in the production team of "The Beginning" are not incompetent.

The worst performer was Yang Mi, who made a guest appearance.

After watching Aunt Guo perform two acts, she was completely silenced, and the itch in her heart intensified.
Turning to look at Zhao Jinmai again, this eighteen-year-old girl's acting skills were naturally not as explosive as Aunt Liu Dan's, but her interpretation and performance of the role made Da Mimi rub her eyes.

Although her own acting has become stiff, she can still tell how well others are acting.

This timid little girl in front of her actually gave a really good performance in the play!
Are young people these days all this fierce?
Zhao Jinmai: Sister, have you heard of the top student at the Central Academy of Drama? And so, Da Mimi became even more agitated.

That night, I had to ask Bai Liang to fix her again, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well.

The clever Mai Mai noticed this quite cleverly, and then she stopped being silent.

Whenever there's nothing else to do, I'd have serious conversations with Bai Liang about the plot and discuss acting.

It's the kind of wholehearted dedication, not just pretense.

This time, it was Da Mi Mi's turn to be left speechless, as the little girl subtly outmaneuvered her.

Of course, it wasn't because the little girl was so amazing; it was mainly because of the irritation that made her feel restless.

Yang Mi's scenes were actually filmed on the fourth day after she joined the crew.

They're just making cameo appearances; production crews always prioritize filming them if there's even a small project to be done.

Moreover, there are no high standards or requirements.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Mi felt discouraged; at first, she thought it was because she acted skillfully and well enough.

When she turned around, she found that someone had given her water.

Zhao Jinmai thought to herself with a wicked grin: This older sister should be leaving now, right?

Da Mimi: I'm not leaving!
Because Xiao Bao has arrived.

The escort from the Nazha people delivered Xiaobao to the film crew.

A contract must be signed before joining the team.

Director Qi can get all the stray dogs in the village to be police dogs, Bai Liang can get his own cats into all sorts of movies, and Xiao Bao's salary is higher than some third-tier stars.

From a certain perspective, this can be considered as legitimately using connections.

But no one would offer any opinions.

Moreover, Xiao Bao is a worldly cat who isn't afraid of the camera at all; she's a top-tier pet actor!

With a cat to pet, Da Mimi's mood immediately calmed down a lot. This little dumpling is really cute! And its personality is super great too!

Xiao Bao, who has spent time with many young ladies, quite likes Da Mi Mi because Da Mi Mi is really big, and she's willing to let it step on her to her heart's content.

Seeing Xiao Bao's little paws scurrying with joy, Bai Liang simply asked Da Mi Mi to take care of the little guy for him.

It can be considered a two-way journey.

However, she also has a little "aftereffect". Touching Xiaobao's soft fur, she always wonders what it would look like if she shaved it.

Bai Liang: After you shave your head, that bastard will come after you and fight you to the death.

Moreover, shaving Xiaobao's hair is no different from cutting a female celebrity's hair off.

When Dudu shaved his head for the movie "Better Days", he cried so much that his eyes were swollen, and Bai Liang had to comfort him for a long time.

Da Mimi said that it was just a sudden idea and she didn't really intend to shave the cute kitten.

If she really did that, wouldn't she become a dark and wicked old witch?
Although it can't be used for shaving, this little gadget can still serve some other purposes.

For example, showing off~
"Xiao Bao?! This is Xiao Bao?"

"Yes, isn't it cute?"

Da Mimi was video chatting with Dilraba in the RV, and she gently squeezed Xiao Bao's paw so that it could greet Dilraba.

She simply wanted to show off a little, but Dilraba had ulterior motives.

"Honey, have you finished filming your cameo scenes?"

Upon hearing this, Da Mimi paused for a moment, "Still a little short, what's wrong?"

"Take Xiaobao away secretly and bring him to me."

Da Mimi:
That's a fucking great idea!

The story of Yuan Li stealing a dog is still a running joke. Moreover, the reason Yuan Li stole the dog was because she had already paid for it and spent money to raise it, so from a certain perspective, it doesn't count as stealing.

But Dilraba's idea was absolutely stolen!
Aside from petting the cat, she didn't make any other contributions.

"If you like cats, just buy one yourself," Da Mimi complained.

Dilraba shook her head, "I don't like cats, I like Xiaobao."

Da Mimi: You clearly like Gulnazar's things; you want to steal more than just the cat!
To be fair, this aggressive and competitive mentality is something that Da Mimi (Yami) quite envies.

She herself would never have that kind of ambition again.

Not to mention, these two have been at odds for years, which is quite admirable when you think about it now.

Although the main factor driving the rivalry between Naza and Reba has long since shifted from "fighting for men" to a battle over career paths as top female stars.

After all, "stealing a man" sounds really awful, and both teams had already worked together to change the situation.

The two of them now have a bit of that vibe that Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing had back then.

However, their respective teams and companies still know what's going on. It's ridiculous to think about it. They've been fighting for years and still haven't decided who's the winner, yet they still want to keep fighting.

But it also seems reasonable.

Over the past few years, the person they were vying for has also been constantly "evolving," truly filling in whatever gaps they've been missing.

People used to say things like Bai Liang was a male model and his family must not be well-off, but now it seems like he's just a rich kid experiencing life.

He'll truly become a perfect person.

In this situation, if Nazha and Reba were to "retire," their niches would likely be filled immediately.

For some reason, Da Mimi suddenly thought of those two sexy sisters who used to be quite prominent.

When she heard that word, she almost burst out laughing.

This is definitely a nickname that rivals her "bald chicken" nickname, and it can definitely be considered a derogatory term.

However, when this title first came out, neither of them were very good. Of course, they are still not very good now, at least they are far inferior to Reba and Nazabi.

But the tactics these two use are actually very similar to those of Dilraba and Nezha. If we're talking about filling in the gaps, these two are really the most suitable.

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of these random thoughts, since it had nothing to do with who filled in for her.

Moreover, neither of these two girls from Xinjiang showed any intention of backing down.

Reba also said that Nazha was a stubborn mule, but she herself wasn't much better.

I have a feeling that something big is going to happen sooner or later.

After such a long period of emotional turmoil and conflict, coupled with their feelings for Bai Liang, these two girls are definitely going to make a big mistake.

This can be considered Yang Mi's sixth sense, given her experience.

Looking up at Bai Liang, who was still laughing and chatting with Zhao Jinmai about the script, Da Mimi thought for a moment and decided not to "tell on" Dilraba.

If I had to mention every single one of these things, I'd be too jealous to keep up.

Hmm, she could actually help with something small.
a week later!

Zhao Jinmai:
This is outrageous!
As a young girl, swearing can really damage her image, but Zhao Jinmai really couldn't hold back anymore.

Yang Mi's scenes were filmed a long time ago, but she just wouldn't leave!

They were fine when they arrived, saying they would only stay for four or five days, but now it's been almost half a month!

Zhao Jinmai was counting down the days with hope, but who would have thought that his senior would be so unethical?

A few days ago, Da Mimi suddenly disappeared from the film set. Zhao Jinmai thought she had left and was just about to excitedly run to find Bai Liang.

As a result, they bumped into Honey, who had just returned with a bunch of stuff, in the hotel lobby.

They even warmly invited her to have dinner together!
Dinner wasn't important, but when Zhao Jinmai saw the pile of things Da Mimi had bought, she felt like the other woman was planning to start living on set.
This is absolutely outrageous!
She's the female lead in this drama! The total estimated timeframe is only a little over a month.

As a result, Yang Mi, who had a cameo role, stuck to Bai Liang all day long, as if she wanted to stick to him until the end of filming.

Are A-list female celebrities really that free?

Yang Mi said that she certainly doesn't have that much free time, but there's always time you can squeeze out.

Zhao Jinmai saw that the day she left, she actually had an engagement that she couldn't refuse, and she came back after finishing the engagement.

However, given the impact, Yang Mi has indeed stopped appearing on set, and many people genuinely thought she had left.

Not many people knew that she was still staying at the film crew's hotel.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared; Mai Mai was sulking, while Mi Mi felt incredibly happy!
She just stayed in the hotel, playing games when she had nothing to do. At certain times, a handsome guy with a great physique and six-pack abs would come to give her a powerful and relaxing experience. Then she would have a good night's sleep and continue playing the next day.

This kind of cycle is really addictive.

Originally, Da Mi Mi was planning to stay for a maximum of one week before leaving, but she just couldn't bear to part with it.

Some wealthy women in certain circles have been asking for eight figures for Bai Liang, just wanting to treat him to a meal or something.

From this perspective, Da Mimi feels that the value of this trip is almost over 100 million.

Fortunately, Zhao Jinmai's frustration was not unique; many others were also frustrated because of Bai Liang.

The blockbuster film "The Eight Hundred," released in August, achieved a result that should be able to break even after being thoroughly churned out by the two main characters, Yanzi and Xiaoshui.

According to various sources, the cost of this movie is around 500 to 600 million yuan. If we take 600 million yuan as an example, it would need to gross about 1.8 billion yuan at the box office to break even.

"The Eight Hundred" did it!

Judging from the box office trend since its release, the final box office result of 1.8 billion yuan is not a problem, and it may even exceed 2 billion yuan.

But forget about the more than 3 billion from the original timeline.

Leaving aside the two troublemakers, Yanzi and Xiaoshui, who kept stirring up trouble and spreading rumors, the film "The Eight Hundred" has lost its momentum in terms of reputation alone.

A savior for the market!

Originally, this title belonged to "The Eight Hundred". As the first major film to be released after cinemas reopened, this title was risky because it required exploring the market after reopening, and a misstep could result in a disastrous outcome.

Therefore, the release date of "The Eight Hundred" was actually quite deliberate. The August release date was chosen to allow some of the less popular films to be released first as a prelude.

As a result, Bai Liang emerged from among these cannon fodder!
While "Better Days" certainly can't compare to "The Eight Hundred" in terms of production costs, it can still be considered a top-tier film in the same category.

Because its male lead is Bai Liang, who is currently the highest-grossing movie star with immense influence!
By seizing the initiative from the outset, it almost stole the luck of "The Eight Hundred," leaving it just another blockbuster released after the market recovered.

The "selfless help" provided by major cinema chains and related media outlets was much less.

After all, Bai Liang had already proven the market's vitality, or rather, as a market-saving measure, he had already boosted the overall market.

What chance does "The Eight Hundred" have then? They're not doing charity work.
If you can recoup your costs or even make a small profit, you should be happy.

In fact, even with this seemingly impressive box office performance that could reach 2 billion yuan, many people are still quite dissatisfied.

That's a bit too much!
Guan Hu is still being praised highly, while a lot of people are spitting on him.

If his box office really goes that high, those who criticize him will feel very unhappy, as if they feel that even though we've worked so hard, this bastard can still ride roughshod over us.

Fortunately, "Better Days" is already close to 3 billion yuan at the box office. It is still slowly creeping up, but it will definitely surpass "The Eight Hundred".

Meanwhile, many people who were unhappy with the intimidation started posting pictures of their "Better Days" movie tickets.

The rhythm was clearly set by Yanzi; the maneuvering was a bit obvious, but it was exceptionally effective.

At this juncture, the nomination lists for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards and Golden Rooster Awards have finally been released!
