Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 579 Still laughing? I've come to take you all!

Opening the market? That's utter nonsense.

Bai Liang dared to open it, but they dared not suppress it.

After all, if you put down this, you're essentially taking sides. What if you offend a director?
They're all "gods," and these minor actresses really don't dare offend any of them. To be honest, each of them here is more valuable than Guo Jingming, or even much more so! Because they all have amazing works to their name.

Bai Liang's ridiculous antics were like using a cannon to kill a mosquito; the directors were the cannons, while the actors were barely worth mentioning.

All I could do was tremble with fear.

Of course, there is one exception!
Sister Meng.

Originally, it was none of her business; she could have just eaten some melon seeds with Bai Liang and watched the fun.

But perhaps Bai Liang was cracking sunflower seeds too loudly, which caught Wu Jing's attention.

Unable to defeat Bai Liang, this guy turned his attention to Sister Meng.

Clearly, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is cunning too!
"Sister Meng, you're also involved, and you have a say in the choice of topics, so why don't we have a chat?"

Sister Meng:
To be honest, she used to be quite happy when people called her Sister Meng, and even when Chen Daoming made that outburst, she didn't feel anything special about it.

Because everyone knew it was a joke, no one took it too seriously. Her friends and besties teased her privately, saying things like how proud she was.

After that, even if other people in the industry called him that, they usually did so with a smile on their faces, and their joking tone was very obvious.

But now she's a little scared.

Chen Kaige, Er Dongsheng, Wu Jing—do these people also call her Sister Meng?

These people themselves may still be joking, but the others' thinking has already gone wrong.

Just now, among the actors who participated in this program with her, someone actually called out "Sister Meng" very respectfully.

This wasn't a joke! The tone was genuinely polite and respectful, as if greeting a senior, and the posture was very humble!

Sister Meng is very familiar with this tone, because that's how she greets her seniors. Unlike Bai Liang, whose status skyrocketed after his debut, she basically has to bow and greet everyone she meets now.
But when she herself starts to enjoy this kind of treatment, unless she is really heartless, or a little unaware of her own limitations, and genuinely thinks she is awesome, most of her emotions will naturally be fear.

She is scared!

It's not that she's afraid she won't be able to make friends in the future, or that her future friends will call her "Master" like Runtu did; it's that Sister Meng clearly knows she's not worthy.

As the saying goes, "Those whose virtue does not match their position will surely suffer calamity." Such artificially elevated seniority may be amusing when used as a joke, but it becomes a bit scary when it is taken seriously.

However, how to solve that is a matter for later. Right now, the main problem facing Sister Meng is that people want her to come up with ideas!

And at this moment, Bai Liang actually added fuel to the fire, saying, "Sister Meng, you should urge them to hurry up."

Upon hearing this, Sister Meng, in a moment of impulsiveness, turned her head and said coquettishly, "What am I to you? Why am I rushing people?"

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, many people were unable to contain themselves.

Even Wu Jing, the instigator, was a little embarrassed. "You don't need to belittle yourself like that. You're quite important."

"Really?" Sister Meng asked instinctively.

"real!"

How could Wu Jing not know Bai Liang?
Back when they were filming "Wolf Warrior 2", this bastard was dating Nazha on set. They were shooting guns and throwing grenades, and he would even watch the hippopotamus bar its teeth.

This trip may seem like I need the director's help, but in reality, it's all for the sake of Sister Meng, who seems so apprehensive right now.

Today's "director dream team" can even be said to be a collective effort to support Sister Meng.

So she's actually quite important.

To some extent, if Sister Meng had actually specified the subject matter, everyone might have stopped arguing.

But Sister Meng herself clearly had no idea about this; she was terrified!
It gives off the feeling of a newbie who has mistakenly entered a group of experts, trembling with fear and afraid to speak, but this is just an illusion.

Brain: Afraid to speak.

Mouth: Let me say a couple of things first.

The truth is, it has to be Sister Meng.

She is self-aware and knows her own limitations, but her thought process is somewhat unusual, coupled with a slight lack of sensitivity.
Three minutes later, when Wang Churan saw Sister Meng actually join the "high-level meeting," her mouth dropped open in astonishment.

what?
Sister, you really dare?!
Although Sister Meng, who had just joined the "meeting," looked like a naive and innocent college student, and seemed rather silly, she appeared to be listening quite attentively to the "meeting content."
Fearful yet actively participating—this enigmatic behavior has left Wang Churan completely baffled.

I really want to find a zombie on the spot, open up Sister Meng's brain, and see what's inside!
At this moment, Wang Churan secretly glanced at Bai Liang again, trying to see if there was any clue in his expression.

As a result, Bai Liang watched this scene with a smile, seemingly enjoying his sunflower seeds even more.

They didn't seem to think that Sister Meng was being too reckless at all.

Sour.

This is so spoiled!
Wang Churan bit her lip and brainstormed for a moment.

Then I chose to help Bai Liang peel the melon seeds.

"Little Bai, you just eat it, I'll peel it for you~"

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liang was slightly taken aback.

Wang Churan, on the other hand, seemed to be "awaiting judgment," having no other options but to take a gamble.

After all, he had already revealed a somewhat scheming side of himself before, but Brother Xiaobai did not show any disgust or disdain. On the contrary, he was quite loving.

Then let's just continue down this path.

The clever girl knew that whether it was a fragrant green tea or a clueless beauty, the main thing was whether she liked the person or not.

However, one thing to note is that you must never jump back and forth repeatedly!

She's a considerate little green tea who always tries to please her brother!
As for Sister Meng's approach, you can't learn it; if you do, you'll "die"! Besides, she really doesn't have that kind of talent.

as predicted!

She was right.

Bai Liang was only slightly taken aback by her behavior, but then naturally began to enjoy it without any displeasure.

This performance filled Wang Churan with joy, and she peeled the sunflower seeds even more diligently! In a different setting, she would have liked to ask Bai Liang if he wanted her to do his laundry. She had previously watched a drama called "Full House of Love," which featured a "laundry lady" character, and that gave her a lot of inspiration.

My nails, which I grew out of the way to look pretty, are now incredibly useful for peeling sunflower seeds!
It's as if she was born to peel sunflower seeds!
Immerse yourself completely, and ignore everything else.

Until a "ugly" hand came into her view, with short, thick fingers covered in calluses, and even a missing section of the thumb. It was completely different from Bai Liang's large, slender, and powerful hand, which also had calluses.

Without thinking, Wang Churan slapped him across the face.

Who is it?! So annoying! I peeled this for my little white brother~
Wu Jing, who wanted to eat some sunflower seeds but was slapped instead, looked "wronged" and was then glared at by Wang Churan, who then rolled her eyes at him.

Wu Jing: I just wanted some sunflower seeds, is that too much to ask, miss?
After completing this smooth little combo, Wang Churan was completely dumbfounded when she realized who she had "attacked."
It's over, it's over
At that moment, Bai Liang made his move!
literal meaning.

He slapped Wu Jing's hand and said, "What are you doing? Chu Ran peeled it for me. If you want some, peel it yourself."

"So stingy?" Wu Jing naturally wouldn't argue with Wang Churan, and turned to "argue" with Bai Liang.

Bai Liang was very protective of his food, saying, "I can peel the ones I peel, but I can't give them to you if the girl peels them."

"Okay, okay, I got it. I can peel them myself, alright?"

They were just joking around on this topic, just teasing each other, and didn't take it too seriously.

However, what Bai Liang said had a very different meaning for the girl.

Can't I give away what the girl peeled?
Why? Because this is the girl's heartfelt wish! How can she share her heartfelt sentiment with someone else?

Just thinking about all this made Wang Churan peel the sunflower seeds even more enthusiastically!
Bai Liang: Take it easy, girl. Do you want me to get a sore throat from eating too much of this?

Leaving aside the "Melon Seed Princess's" self-conquest for now, Wu Jing has other matters to discuss with Bai Liang.

"I've taken on a variety show," Wu Jing said.

Bai Liang looked at him with disdain: "Are you trying to run away, Jingzi? I look down on you!"

"Get lost! Who's running away? It has nothing to do with your variety show. It's another variety show where you bring your wife," Wu Jing said with a dark expression.

He felt that Bai Liang was getting more and more outrageous, and his attack power had increased significantly recently.

Upon hearing this, Bai Liang chuckled: "You've brought your wife on a variety show again? What kind of iconic straight-man moment are you going to create this time?"

"Don't make up these 'straight man classic scenes' nonsense!"

"I made it all up? Do you think netizens will let you off the hook? You asked your wife on a show if she had a boyfriend, made a grand entrance in a helicopter, and then groped her in her swimsuit right in front of the camera."

Bai Liang stated that he is an honest and reliable Little Wolf, and for each one he mentioned, he would search for related short videos on Douyin.

As it turns out, netizens really didn't let Wu Jing off the hook; someone had already compiled a collection of his stories.

These things made Wu Jing blush. The various peacock-like displays of his early years now seemed like cringeworthy QQ status updates from his teenage years. It was so awkward that his toes curled up.

He quickly reached out and covered Bai Liang's phone: "Don't go that far. Come to my show before our movie starts filming. Brother Qian will be there too. We can have a couple of drinks together."

"Just drink, why bring up appearing on TV?"

"Just dropping by while I was here. It was only after you told me you had a show to promote that I remembered this."

"I have a drama I need to promote?" Bai Liang asked, looking puzzled.

Wu Jing: ? ? ?
You son of a bitch, can't you even listen to what you're saying?!
Someone with a sharp mind could be on "The Brain," but they forgot what they said this morning?
Bai Liang slapped his forehead, realizing he'd actually remembered. "Oh no, I forgot to say my lines today. I need to go find the production team right away."

They went without delay, leaving Wu Jing speechless.

So he turned to look at Wang Churan, who was still peeling melon seeds, and asked, "Didn't he make any announcements during the recording of the show today?"

Wang Churan put down the sunflower seeds, her fingers slightly red and black. However, this time she didn't lose her temper and hurt Wu Jing again. Instead, she pushed the sunflower seeds she had peeled towards him, as if to say: Director Wu, please have some~
He also answered the other party's question: "It seems there really isn't."

Wu Jing grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and with his other hand, he gave Bai Liang a thumbs-up as he left!

This praise isn't because he forgot to promote it, but because he actually dared to bring two people along on the show.

Sister Meng doesn't need to say anything more. This pretty "sweet-eyed beauty" in front of us doesn't look quite right either. Those big eye rolls, tsk tsk!
Cow breaking!

Speaking of which, Wu Jing suddenly remembered the variety show "The Happiness Trio" that she participated in. He Youjun, one of the other guest pairs, also seemed to have appeared on "The Brain".

I wonder who's smarter, the other person or Bai Liang?
While it might seem strange for an actor in the entertainment industry to compare their intelligence with that of highly intelligent individuals from other fields, Bai Liang, this freak, initially gained fame for his academic prowess, so it seems he can actually compete with others in terms of intellect.

Wu Jing thought for a moment, a wicked smile appearing on his face. He decided not to mention this to Bai Liang and would see if he could find someone to suppress this guy's arrogance later!

After all, he had been practicing martial arts for many years and had been beaten down by Bai Liang. He really wanted to see someone "bully" Bai Liang.

As for the promotional announcements, it's not too troublesome.

The production team has already let Bai Liang mess around like this, so they naturally don't mind giving him a little more convenience.

Moreover, while "The Age of Awakening" premieres on CCTV-1, it will also be simultaneously available on iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video, aiming for full coverage. This approach might even attract more viewers.

So the final solution was that since there weren't many episodes left, we just inserted another promotion during the commercial break.

As for the final gala, which is the last episode, it's the same as "Produce 101"—it'll be a live broadcast. They'll just bring over the main cast of "Awakening Age" and that's it.

The cast of this drama is full of talented actors; you could even say they are all accomplished performers.

This perfectly aligns with the theme of the variety show "Actors, Please Take Your Seats".

As for "Si Teng", let's forget about it. Bai Liang plans to bring Da Tian Tian along when he goes to Wu Jing's variety show "The Happiness Trio".

After all, his variety shows are all couples. The regular guests are Wu Jing and his wife, Uncle Qian and his wife, and He Youjun and his wife Xi Mengyao, the supermodel who fell on the runway and went viral.

Everyone else is in a group, so Bai Liang definitely can't go alone.

He originally wanted to get Da Tian Tian into the show "Actors, Please Take Your Seats". She was quite enthusiastic and has been asking Bai Liang when to do promotions.

However, he just received a phone call. Dilraba became even more enthusiastic.

I don't know where she heard that Bai Liang was calling for people everywhere, but she insisted on coming over to contribute her own strength.

Bai Liang couldn't possibly disagree with this, since he did indeed need supporting actors in addition to the "assistant director."

I was planning to invite a few actor friends from the industry to have some fun together, since the production team would cover the costs and give them appearance fees.

However, when Bai Liang returned to the rehearsal room and saw Sister Meng, who was seriously holding a meeting, and Wang Churan, who was arguing with melon seeds, he had a feeling that Dilraba was up to no good, even though her voice was very gentle on the phone.

At this moment, Sister Meng saw Bai Liang coming in from outside the door and winked at him with a grin.

Still laughing?

I’m here to collect you!
