Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 603 Phenomenal Cultural Symbols
The kid has weird ideas, but he's got a lot of energy!
Although he had no idea what was going on in Sister Meng's head, Bai Liang respected her for keeping her word!

hero!

If you say you won't let him move, you really won't let him move!

Even though her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she could barely lift them, she stubbornly kept wriggling there.
The next day, it was almost afternoon when Sister Meng finally appeared on set. Her walking posture was also very strange, just like those people who had just finished working out their legs at the gym. She even had to lean on the handrail to go down the stairs.

In this state, she naturally attracted Chen Hong's attention, and then she had some wonderful misunderstandings. She felt that the tricks she taught Sister Meng were very effective. How much effort did Bai Liang have to put into her to make her like this?
It's fair to say that he's never experienced what it's like to be at his peak, though he's certainly had his share of working as a gold miner.

Unlike Sister Meng, who met the most amazing man at the most beautiful age.
Aunt Chen was so envious that tears almost streamed down her face.

However, Sister Meng was truly in tears. This wasn't what she wanted. She always got plenty of that, to the point of overflowing.

Because of the recent frequency of these activities, she even feels that she has developed some melanin deposits.
Besides, she herself put in a lot of effort to make it look like this, which made her lose face.

The key point is that the boasts Bai Liang made were immediately debunked.

The phrase "Call me if you miss me, but I have to be free" makes Sister Meng feel embarrassed just thinking about it now.

This move was taught to her by Chen Hong: create a slight distance and let the other person approach you. Pull and tug, Miracle Walker.

In short, we can't be like before, unconditionally clinging to the other person as soon as we meet. That would make us seem too easy to manipulate, and the other person wouldn't cherish us.

The theory is correct, and Sister Meng also thinks there's nothing wrong with it.

Then she added her own touches, like making it a bit more assertive. And that's how it turned out.
When Bai Liang woke up in the morning, Sister Meng was also awake. While she was peeking around with her eyes half-closed, her little hedgehog was very gentle and considerate in tidying up her blankets and leaving her breakfast.
But Sister Meng always felt that she was being looked up and down with a "playful" gaze.

She's now afraid that Bai Liang will come over after filming and ask her with a smile why she didn't go out to do any promotional work.

Soon, her worries came true.
A Black man appeared in front of her, then smiled at her, revealing his white teeth.
This scene immediately amused Sister Meng, who exclaimed, "What happened to you?"

"Today we're filming an explosion scene. I'm not playing Yan Shuangying, so this is what happens after the explosion~" Bai Liang didn't even wipe his face with a towel because he still had to film later.

"Haha, little dark-skinned guy!"

Sometimes I can't help but envy Sister Meng's quick wit; she looked so worried just a moment ago, and then suddenly she's all smiles!
The speed at which they forget their troubles is astonishing!
Of course, this is also partly why Bai Liang didn't mention what happened last night.

Bai Da Guanren is still very considerate. Although he doesn't know what medicine Meng Jie took or what kind of bewitching potion her senior gave her, she still managed to do such an abstract thing.

But he wouldn't go so far as to relentlessly attack someone's private parts afterward unless Sister Meng is incorrigible.

At this moment, Sister Meng seemed to have truly forgotten what happened last night and had begun to feel sorry for her little hedgehog.

It's so pitiful that such a handsome guy has turned into a black dog!

It's fair to say that filming war movies is really demanding on actors, especially for simple scenes like explosions.

However, most of the main actors in the "Changjin Lake" crew were tough guys, and no one was pretentious during filming.

Of course, some people might want to be a little dramatic, but everyone around them is so cool and awesome, with an attitude of "just go for it, I'm not afraid at all," that little bit of drama has to be suppressed.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make others seem very professional and resilient, while we seem very fragile? That won't do!

To put it bluntly, brothers, let's roll up our sleeves!
You're going to run directly to the explosion point without a stunt double? Then I won't either!
Especially the biggest names, like Wu Jing, are leading the way in doing these things.

This guy is known for his dedication to filming in this area; otherwise, he wouldn't have had to use crutches for his own wedding.

Of course, Wu Jing wasn't the only one leading the charge. What really got everyone involved was Bai Liang's leading the charge during the filming of dangerous scenes.

Dog Ridge is truly not afraid at all!

Even when facing the climax up close, he didn't run away after the director's countdown had ended.
But after thinking about Bai Liang's various outrageous actions and "achievements" since his debut, it seems quite reasonable.

However, when people met him, they were somewhat misled by his "pretty boy" appearance.

When the explosion happened behind him, Bai Liang seemed to be blown away, causing the entire crew to panic and rush over. But the next second, he stood up as if nothing had happened, and everyone then realized what kind of ruthless person he really was.

He turned his back to a car explosion, braved the African wilderness alone, and even dared to jump off Mount Everest.
Of course, it's also possible that Bai Liang's face wasn't as white after he got into character.

After all, this isn't a propaganda film about the War of Resistance Against Japan. It's impossible for everyone to look like they're wearing makeup or have their hair done during battle. They'd all be covered in dirt and look like stray dogs.

However, by the time of the next day's filming, Bai Liang had wiped his face clean.

Because the timeline has been reversed, they're now filming the scene where they board the train and depart.

Although Chen Kaige likes to shoot according to the movie timeline, he filmed the later scenes before the location was fully coordinated.

Our Sister Meng is finally going to take the stage!
To be honest, Chen Kaige quite liked this scene, especially the red scarf!

Before the shoot, he kept lecturing Bai Liang about the significance of the red scarf, how it was the same color as the national flag and symbolized...
Wu Jing, who was standing to the side, twitched his facial muscles as he listened, but he still couldn't bring himself to say, "This thing is too conspicuous on the battlefield and will easily expose our position."

Is it reasonable for someone to wear a red scarf around their neck while fighting in the freezing cold?

However, after glancing at Sister Meng, who was holding the thing in her hand and eager to try it out, Wu Jing decided it was best to keep quiet.
Bai Liang's girlfriend only has so few scenes, and she relies entirely on this bright red scarf to attract the audience's attention!

Moreover, a war scene had already been filmed, and the prop red scarf had already appeared in that scene. It feels like Chen Kaige suddenly filmed a scene from later scenes first just to stop Wu Jing from talking and avoid having to reshoot.

Even big directors have their cunning.
However, Wu Jing had no intention of being the bad guy. Also, during the previous filming, Bai Liang had stuffed that thing inside his clothes, so only a little bit was showing.

Of course, there are some things I still need to talk to Chen Kaige about.

Take, for example, the growth story of Wu Wanli, the male protagonist played by Bai Liang. It can't just be about him becoming a soldier after experiencing war as a teenager. He should gradually understand what he is fighting for, and that sense of conviction is very important.
So there's still a lot of back and forth between him and Lao Chen.
Of course, this isn't just about characters, plot, and character development; the actors' performances are also crucial. Wu Jing felt he needed to discuss this further with Bai Liang. Clearly, Bai Liang had completely embraced the role of director, enthusiastically working on every project!

"A sense of faith?"

"Oh, you're still quite young, and you haven't acted in this kind of role much before. Let's discuss this further."

Hearing Wu Jing say this, Bai Liang, who had just wiped his face clean, thought for a moment and said, "I should be fine."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Wu Jing suspected that Bai Liang just didn't want to waste the evening after filming, so he was busy being intimate with his girlfriend.

Many people saw Sister Meng arriving at the film set yesterday, looking shaky and unsteady.

Everyone behind Liang Ge's back would give him a thumbs up and say he's awesome.
That's real skill!

Faced with Wu Jing, who seemed possessed by a sea bass, Bai Liang remarked that timing was perfect, as "The Age of Awakening" seemed to be airing a crucial episode today.
That was an eternal moment captured by the smoke of history and the passion of youth.

The dock was bustling with people heading to France for work-study programs, filled with the bittersweet atmosphere of parting.

Chen Yannian was wearing a clean, slightly worn long gown, with a simple bag slung over his shoulder. Sunlight shone on his young, well-defined face, giving him a radiant golden glow.

His gaze was originally fixed on the distance, where he sought the truth and the blueprint for a new world.

Just as the boarding board was about to be retracted, he seemed to hear his father's silent call, or perhaps he sensed something, and turned back with a smile.

A radiant, untroubled smile bloomed on his young face.

The next second, the screen suddenly plunged into a dull, suffocating gray.

The hustle and bustle of the dock, the moisture from the river breeze, and the bright sunshine were instantly and completely removed, replaced by a cold and damp execution ground.

The long gown that symbolized a journey and hope was gone, replaced by a tattered, blood-stained prison uniform.

His young, upright body was bound by heavy iron shackles, and his body was covered with scars from torture.

However, the smile on his face did not fade, and the corners of his mouth even retained that upward curve!

Only the light in his eyes changed from longing for the future to a steadfast belief.
Against the backdrop of shackles and bloodstains, the smile was no longer the bright one of farewell, but a heart-wrenching composure and disdain in the face of death!
Everywhere was filled with sorrow and bloodshed, all for the sake of saving the people!

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and he took the one less traveled by, and that was the beginning of his life's journey!

He was the eldest son of Mr. Chen Zhongfu, born in youth, died in youth, born in adolescence, died in adolescence, born in the darkness of yesterday, leaving behind a hopeful tomorrow.
He left as a young man, and returned with the spirit of a hero.

It can be said that the scene where Chen Yannian and his brother Chen Qiaonian bravely sacrificed their lives is the most moving scene in the drama "The Age of Awakening"!
The camera switches between their youthful exuberance as they head off to study in France and their eventual departure, shackled and wounded yet head held high, creating a powerful emotional impact through this artistic treatment!
The moment he turned around and smiled, it was as if he were having a conversation with the youth of a hundred years from now!

What is a phenomenal cultural symbol?
From a historical figure to a bridge connecting the spirit of youth a century ago and today, he has resonated deeply with many contemporary young people.
Before "The Age of Awakening," most viewers' understanding of Chen Yannian was limited to the historical textbook labels of "revolutionary martyr" and "eldest son of Chen Duxiu," resulting in a vague image and a lack of emotional connection.

Now, this historical figure has suddenly become more fleshed out, with real flesh and blood!

Sometimes, all it takes to go viral and become an internet sensation is a few seconds of screen time.

Even many people who had never watched the TV series remembered the character and the name simply because of this scene.

For Bai Liang himself, it was just another role that everyone could remember.

It was as if a script that had already happened was being repeated, over and over again.

However, this role has brought him more than just that; most directly, it has broadened his range of breakout roles.

This track is frighteningly wide; who would have thought that just this year, he was still having a sweet romance with some girl?
The range from Yu Tu and Han Shangyan to Chen Yannian is quite overwhelming.

Does he really become famous for everything he acts in?!

Of course, this isn't the first time Bai Liang has become famous for a supporting role. He played many supporting roles when he first debuted, about four or five times.
However, looking back, apart from his role as Xiao Kalami in "Yun Zhi Fan", it seems that all the supporting roles he played were also quite popular.

But none of them can compare to the character of Chen Yannian.

The extent to which it went viral is terrifying!
A quick scroll through Douyin (TikTok) will bring up a ton of videos with over 200,000 likes.

On Bilibili, several mashup videos with over two million views have emerged, with at least several thousand comments.

At this moment, Yanzi was coming to her senses and quickly investing in publicity resources. Even she hadn't expected that her little brother Xiaobai's help would cause such a big commotion, not to mention the haters.

Clearly, with Yanzi's swift actions, coupled with Bai Liang's own fame and popularity, the character's rise to fame and mainstream popularity is far more powerful than in the original timeline.

Yes. They quickly overshadowed the last bit of buzz surrounding Bai Liang and Da Tian Tian's rumored relationship.

Finally, no one is discussing whether the two have a child anymore!
After all, Da Tian Tian's daily check-in splits are quite convincing, and she seems determined to keep doing them for half a year, which means there's not much room for rumors to continue to circulate.

Wu Jing, who had originally planned to give Bai Liang a few lessons on ideology and politics, stared at him for a few seconds with a look as if he were a ghost after watching the TV series. In the end, she didn't say anything, only telling him to get more rest that night.
These words were clearly meant for Sister Meng. Filming requires physical strength, and you can't put all your energy into your girlfriend!

However, Sister Meng didn't understand at all. She was watching TV dramas and crying all the time, tears flowing like they were free.

Her sensitivity is a reflection of many viewers.

This also highlights the allure of acting under the spotlight.
It makes you cry, makes you laugh, and makes your heart surge!
