Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 203: A round and smooth beauty
When Bai Liang was having dinner with Xiao Zhao, Xu Zheng and Jing Tian, ​​a young and handsome guy among the directors received some bad news:
The male protagonist of the movie ran away because someone else had a "better option".

This incident was actually not a big blow to Guo Fan.

Because he is poor and stingy to begin with, and he doesn't have the money to hire a big-name male lead. It's not a big deal for him to find a small-time flop after he runs away.

There are a lot of such actors in the entertainment industry.

Most of the young male actors who graduate from various art schools every year fail to become famous.

This one is sold out, change it.

The reason why it is bad news is that he feels that even such an obscure young artist would dislike his current movie "The Wandering Earth"?

I don't even mind that you're unpopular, but you actually mind that our movie is not good?

How outrageous!
For a while, you will feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, the three words "not optimistic" have been lingering around Guo Fan since the project was first launched.

Few people are willing to believe that a director who made a movie like "You Are the One" three years ago can create a reliable science fiction masterpiece.

But this little setback couldn't defeat him. It has been three years since "My Deskmate" was filmed.

Three years! He waited for three years just to prove himself!

Guo Fan lit a cigarette, then called the casting director and asked him to find another male lead as soon as possible.

After hearing this, casting director Sun Qiang was puzzled for a moment, "Director Guo, are we still going to find a small-time unknown actor this time?"

"Otherwise, can you help me hire a big star? I have no money." Guo Fan said helplessly.

Sun Qiang on the other end of the phone smacked his lips. To be honest, although he was accidentally "captured" by the succubus Guo Fan and came to help him make a seemingly unreliable science fiction movie, he did admire Guo Fan very much.

This director has a strange charisma.

Sun Qiang was very familiar with this feeling because he had experienced something similar before.
So after thinking about it, he came up with a bold idea: "Director Guo, why don't we just find a top star!"

"Top star?!" Guo Fan was delighted. "Can you help me make some money?"

Sun Qiang on the other end of the phone also laughed, and really felt like he was telling a fairy tale.

However, he felt that there was someone different.

Guo Fan dared to shoot "The Wandering Earth". He was just making an attempt. What's there to be afraid of?

"Director, I have connections. I know a top star who has a good reputation, achievements, and good acting skills. Oh, and he is not the kind of young actor who can't endure hardships. He is very dedicated! He is also very famous!"

"Aqiang, please stop talking. I'm already looking forward to what you said."

The more Sun Qiang talked about those conditions, the more Guo Fan felt that they were impossible.

Is this a crazy person who is willing to join their crew, and they don't even have money to pay him.
"Maybe he would rather not ask for money." Sun Qiang said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Guo Fan blurted out: "No money, just a share? Is he so easy to cheat?!"

"I attended a dinner party some time ago and met Director Wu Jing, and he mentioned this."

Wu Jing boasted about Bai Liang's operation everywhere, and it was obvious that not only Xu Zheng knew about it.

He was really trying hard to praise Bai Liang, as if even if the movie flopped, he would still spread his good reputation of being "loyal and affectionate" throughout the entire entertainment industry.

"Wait a minute, can you tell me who it is first?" Guo Fan finally couldn't help asking.

The moment he asked this question, he realized that he was doomed and his heart was really moved!

"Bai Liang." Sun Qiang said in a deep voice.

That serious tone seemed to be reciting something indescribable.
"Bai Liang."

If it was another top-notch young star, Guo Fan felt that he could find a reason to give up the invitation.

But he had really heard of this guy.

It's not just Wu Jing, many directors in the circle praise him.

Everyone who has worked with us says it’s good!
It is not easy to accumulate such a reputation. Even if you perform well in the crew, the director may not remember you, because that is your job.

You have to be excellent and touch the hearts of many people to be on the lips of so many people at the same time.

For a moment, Guo Fan even had a sense of fellowship.

After all, he travels the world relying on his succubus skills.

"A Qiang, are you familiar with him?" Guo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"I was the casting director for his first film, so I can be considered as his benefactor," Sun Qiang said with a little guilt.

Should it be considered half? A small half is also fine~
"Then you can give it a try. Anyway, there is no rush right now."

After saying this, Guo Fan thought for a moment and added, "It would be best if I could talk to him in person."

Zisun Qiang is under a lot of pressure now. After all, Bai Liang is no longer the little Karami who ran to the crew of "The Legendary Zhao Zilong" alone with a bag and protein powder.

He really wasn't sure whether he could make an appointment.

Although I have the other party's contact information, two years have passed in a flash and I'm not sure whether Bai Liang still remembers me.
-

Bai Liang and Xu Zheng had a very pleasant chat.

Because he has a good attitude and doesn't talk about unpleasant things.

Xu Zheng was a bit helpless about this.

He had never seen anything like this. He didn't notice any dissatisfaction from the other party, and Bai Liang didn't even frown throughout the whole process.

Polite and gentle, but he was completely unsure of what to think.

Bai Liang also had a serious discussion with him about the project "Time Travel Cohabitation".

For an old hand like Xu Zheng, he can actually tell whether the other person is just doing things perfunctorily or has really done his homework just by chatting with them for a few minutes.

Bai Liang is the latter.

Xu Zheng: This guy has really studied the script and characters!

Moreover, even though I don’t completely agree with a lot of what he said, I still think it makes sense.

You can tell by just hearing it that a lot of effort has been put in.

Jing Tian, ​​who was standing next to him, didn't even have time to eat a few bites of the food as he was listening very attentively!
But this made Xu Zheng feel even more uncomfortable.

She wanted more and more to get Bai Liang into this project, as he was definitely the male lead she was looking for.

In fact, because of "Sisters Who Make Waves", he already knew Bai Liang's ability to play the role of a young man from the last century. He didn't even need a makeup test or an audition, he knew he would be able to play the role well!

But the problem is that Bai Liang's agent, her name is Yan Zi, right? She is really difficult to deal with!
When Xu Zheng came into contact with Yan Zi, he even felt like he had run into the most difficult old lady in the vegetable market.

It would be great if it was really in the vegetable market. If not, go to another one.

But now, if he doesn’t deal with Bai Liang, he can only “settle for second best”, and the heroine he tricked here might also run away.

No, he will definitely run away!

Before the meal ended, Xu Zheng glanced at Jing Tian twice and felt that he was ready to make a move.

I don’t know whether he had a new idea or felt it was unreliable and wanted to retreat urgently.

If he doesn't find a way to get Bai Liang, the film will have to be postponed again. Moreover, because of his contact with Bai Liang and Jing Tian, ​​it will be difficult to arrange schedules for actors who were originally considered suitable.

Xu Zheng quickly calculated the pros and cons in his mind, and felt that "giving up profits" was probably unavoidable.

Damn! I feel so bad!

What's the difference between this and taking money out of his pocket?
After the meal, Xu Zheng still had a smile on his face, but he was very frustrated in his heart. Facing a big ball of cotton, he had no way to deal with the other party, and in the end he could only play around with interests.

We must find a way to “feed” the hungry wolf Swallow!
Bai Liang was actually quite happy. Although Xu Zheng was a bit stingy and materialistic, he did have something real.

He is indeed a very successful actor after switching to directing.

The three film directors that Bai Liang has contacted so far are all latecomers.

Han Han, Wu Jing, Xu Zheng.

Each has its own characteristics and each has its own defects.

The common point is that they are indeed quite outstanding in their respective areas of expertise.

He is the type who can handle one or several directions much more thoroughly than others.

On the contrary, Bai Liang has never met any professional film directors.

"Sister, is it delicious?"

Hearing this, Sister Xiao Zhao subconsciously touched her belly.

Then he said, "I'm fat, it's all your fault. I'm the only one at the table who eats seriously."

"When you're out and about, you have to eat well. I recommend a great TV series to watch while eating. It's from Japan, called "The Solitary Gourmet."

When it comes to this field, Bai Liang said that no one knows more about eating than himself~
"Goodbye, I'm a female star."

"It's okay for a female star with a round face to be a little fat."

"Go to hell!" After cursing out of habit, Sister Zhao asked casually, "Where are you going? To meet your lover in Beijing?"

"Lover?" Bai Liang pondered for a moment, who was there?

Among the girls he knew whose base was in Yanjing, Yang Mi and Reba were definitely not available. Now that the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds" had skyrocketed, these two were busy jumping around like rabbits.

Sister Meng and Li Xin’s companies are also in Yanjing, but they should be filming on the set now.

and also
"Are you really looking for it?!" Sister Xiao Zhao got angry as soon as she saw that he was thinking.

Bai Liang looked innocent: "Didn't you ask me to find it?"

Damn, I wish this brat would always be so obedient.

Sister Zhao didn't want to argue with him: "If you have nowhere to go, come to my house and sit down." "Your house? Did you buy a big house?"

"Hey? How did you know?"

"Guess."

Sister Xiao Zhao has indeed just purchased a luxury house in Yanjing.

As expected of a top female star, she spent a lot of money and directly bought a detached villa with a yard in Chaoyang District.

The value is not to say hundreds of millions, but it is almost tens of millions.

Sister Xiao Zhao did not hide anything about this and told him directly that she spent 80 million to buy it.

Around July this year, the 16-17 Forbes celebrity list will be released, and it is estimated that Sister Zhao will be able to make it into the top five.

Bai Liang: She is indeed a rich woman~
Of course he was interested in visiting Sister Zhao's mansion. A big villa is good! A big villa has many rooms!
However, at this time, Sister Xiao Zhao's eyes seemed a little erratic.

Bai Liang felt that if he said "I want to go home" at this moment, his sister might get angry.

I've been with you to the audition, and we've eaten together, and now you say you want to go home?! I'll scold you to death~
However, just as Bai Liang was about to leave with her, a phone call suddenly came in.

The name on the caller ID was quite fresh; it was Jing Tian, ​​who had just exchanged contact information with Bai Liang not long ago.

The other party didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him. After a brief greeting, he went straight to the point.

I want to meet up and talk.

Bai Liang had no reason to refuse this.

The other party must be looking for me to discuss serious matters.

I could only make an apologetic gesture to Sister Xiao Zhao.

"How about I come to your house later?"

Sister Zhao said nothing and just walked away, as if to say: Bah! If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.

He didn't even leave Bai Liang a detailed address, obviously not planning to let him go later.

Bai Liang: It doesn’t matter, there will always be opportunities in the future.

As for Jing Tian, ​​a well-known beauty in and out of the circle, Bai Liang didn't actually have much communication with her when they were having dinner together just now.

He felt that he didn't know whether this young lady was afraid of him or if it was just her nature.

After all, there are many artists whose public image is quite different from their private personality.

Jing Tian rarely spoke, and most of the time he just listened attentively. Occasionally, he would glance over, but the other person would subconsciously avoid him.

Apart from these first impressions, Bai Liang's other impressions of her are actually similar to those of most netizens.

Isn’t there a saying on the Internet: If Fei is available, choose Fei; if Fei is not available, choose Yuan; if Fei and Yuan are neither available, choose Jingtian.

Although this statement cannot fully summarize the aesthetic taste of all straight men, because when Bai Liang himself was at his most straight, he liked Ultraman and Pokémon.

When I became more mature, I started to like Digimon and Gundam, and then it was my turn for sweet and soft little sisters.

But on this track, Miss Jingtian did make her way in.

She is indeed good-looking.

Oh yes, Bai Liang also knew that she looked better in cheongsam.

There is a kind of beauty that is round and smooth.

The two met again, of course not alone, Bai Liang went alone to face Jing Tian, ​​her agent and assistant.
Sometimes, having more people can make a place look more imposing.

But today it's the other way around.

The group of women were a little timid when facing Bai Liang.

After all, as a "general", Jing Tian can't stand up on his own.

This 85 flower is the weakest contestant Bai Liang has ever seen. Not to mention compared with Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, it seems that she can't even compete with that big fool Tang Yan.

"You seem darker than before."

After a few simple polite words, Jing Tian gave his first direct evaluation of Bai Liang today.

"Maybe it's because I went to Africa for a program recording before. I did get a little tanned, but I should get whiter slowly." Bai Liang didn't have much of an idol image, so he nodded and admitted it.

He was indeed a little darker than before, and because he had been having too much fun in Africa, he even looked a little wilder than before.

Ah! Bai Liang suddenly understood what was going on.

He had just returned from a trip outside, and even though he was still the same Capybara at heart, he still had a bit of barbarism when facing wild beasts and gunfire.

After integrating into the environment, it takes some time to get out of the previous environment.

Sitting there, the delicate and doll-like Jing Tian seemed somewhat out of place.

Sister Xiao Zhao wouldn't feel much about his small change because she herself had climbed up from the bottom.

Xu Zheng didn't say anything special because he felt that this contrast would work better in the movie.

However, for Jing Tian, ​​the wildness of the overflowing hormones and the explosiveness of its rampant growth could easily shatter her fragile delicacy.

So I instinctively felt a little scared.

Of course, to some extent, this feeling will also bring a kind of contradictory sexual tension.
For details, you can refer to some literary and artistic works in Japan.

Plumbers, repairmen, and the like.

"Teacher Bai, we still want to cooperate with you. This time we mainly want to ask for your specific ideas."

Seeing that Jing Tian seemed to be a little out of sorts, staring at the cup of coffee on the table as if trying to see a flower, Jing Tian's agent had no choice but to retort.

At the same time, I was wondering: Tiantian wasn’t so introverted before.

"I don't have any ideas. Of course it's a good thing to be able to cooperate." Bai Liang said honestly.

As a result, to other people's ears, these words sounded like perfunctory courtesy.

The agent even imagined in his mind: Could it be that this guy dislikes Jing Tian’s bad reputation in the film industry?
Probably!

Looking at Bai Liang who looked calm, she gritted her teeth and used her ultimate move!

"I heard that Mr. Bai is in contact with the crew of "The Glory of the Ming Dynasty"?"

Bai Liang was a little surprised, "You all know this?"

The other person smiled and said, "You can find out something if you ask around. I heard that the talks didn't go very smoothly because of the drama with a strong female lead."

“I think about what I can say.”

"It doesn't have to be that complicated. The production team of Ming Dynasty hasn't reached an agreement with Tang Wei yet. We can also contact them to reduce the importance of the heroine and make this drama not a drama with a strong heroine as the lead."

"what?"

"it is true."

As if worried that Bai Liang wouldn't believe it, Jing Tian's agent directly found the chat history on his mobile phone.

"The Glory of the Tang Dynasty" even sent her an electronic version of the simplified script.

This is indeed evidence of initiation of contact.

Jing Tian, ​​who has already filmed "The Glory of Tang Dynasty", doesn't mind starring in another "The Glory of Tang Dynasty".

The name sounds like a series.

Moreover, "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" has improved her reputation a lot, and many people said, "It turns out that Jing Tian has acting skills."

As for the purpose of forcefully intervening in the drama "The Ming Dynasty", it can be regarded as a kind of resource exchange.

Bai Liang agreed to co-star with Jing Tian in "Time Raiders", and as a condition, Jing Tian helped him to secure the role of the female lead in "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty".

She plays Sun Ruowei, takes the initiative to downgrade her status and reduce her role, and that's it. Let those historical changes that Bai Liang is not satisfied with get out of here.

By the way, let’s have a second one and have the best of both worlds.

As for whether we can intervene, a lean camel is bigger than a horse!

Even though Jing Tian doesn't have as good resources as before, she can still do this kind of thing. Tang Wei is not a top-tier actress in the film industry, and Jing Tian just got it.

What's more, they can also borrow Bai Liang's fame and influence, and the two of them together can beat Tang Wei directly.

Any producer who is not a fool knows how to choose.

Bai Liang: Datiantian is such a nice person!
He really didn't expect it to be like this~
So I had no choice but to call Yan Zi and ask her whether this method of playing was reliable.
Yan Zi was also shocked when she heard this. Huh? Where did this sucker come from?
To be honest, she was ready to agree to Xu Zheng.

After having dinner with Bai Liang, the other party gave her a new price.

Yan Zi felt that this probability was the limit and was about to agree to it, but then she received this news from Bai Liang.

No top female star in their prime would be able to do this, so only Jing Tian, ​​who is in a rather awkward situation now, is willing to do it.

Even Sister Xiao Zhao, who has such a good relationship with Bai Liang, would not "sacrifice" like this.

This matter got out, and she promised her fans that she would not agree to it.

The same goes for Yang Mi. No matter how much she likes the gift Bai Liang gave her, she would not cooperate with him like this.

If you think about it carefully, Jing Tian is really suitable for this job.

It just seems a bit like being taken advantage of.

But Yan Zi thought about it and realized that the creature called "sucker" was always around her little brother Xiaobai.

This time she really heard the echo of strong luck, it was particularly clear.
