Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 644 Thirty Years East of the River, Thirty Years West of the River
The film and television industry is never short of overnight sensations; in fact, it happens quite frequently.

There are already too many so-called "top celebrities" to list. It is also common for some hit works to suddenly boost the exposure of some previously unremarkable artists and cause their status to skyrocket.

However, when this kind of thing happens to someone you know, and it feels like they're using you to climb to the top, Yang Mi says it's hard not to have some emotional reactions.
Of course, whether the movie is a success or not is not her sole concern, and this won't affect the fact that she is still a top-tier female artist, but it's just a little upsetting.

So she confided all of this to Bai Liang, saying that she had exposed her dark side to Bai Liang, and Bai Liang couldn't possibly dislike her.
Bai Liang's only comment on Da Mi Mi's "sincere sincerity for sincerity" was: You're just hungry.

There's no point in arguing with him about how his former classmate's sudden fame made him feel bad.

She and Zhang Xiaofei clearly had a pretty good relationship.
Even if seeing other movies outperforming their own might cause some resentment, it doesn't warrant such a "dark" reaction. It's purely using this as an excuse to nitpick and find fault.
However, Bai Liang's comments were just that—comments. He wasn't the type of person who liked to expose a young lady's true thoughts, so he simply went along with her topic and continued the conversation.

In short, flirting over the phone.
Meanwhile, Da Mimi, who was still busy with her promotional tour, knew that she couldn't possibly have Bai Liang fly over to "give her an injection." So, her original intention was just to listen to his voice while trying to think of a solution herself.
So when he speaks, his tone changes as he talks, becoming very sticky and muggy.

"Oh, it's done!"

Hearing the relaxed yet clear voice on the other end of the phone, Bai Liang added a "ku" for her, then pretended not to know and asked, "What's ready? Is the water boiled?"

Hearing this, Da Mimi wasn't shy at all; she liked the feeling of pretending not to know each other.

He grunted and said, "It's boiled~"

Women are made of water. Once the water boils, steams, and evaporates, everything is fine, leaving only gentle steam.

At this point, Da Mimi finally had a serious conversation with Bai Liang about something substantial: "I'm going to get criticized again for only associating with popular people."

"Huh? You went to lick Zhang Xiaofei's boots?" Bai Liang said, realizing what had happened.

"Can't you speak properly? What do you mean by 'licking boots'? I just posted a Weibo message to wish her well. I've known her for over ten years and we used to interact a lot, but she's not famous, so those marketing accounts wouldn't notice her."

There was a hint of self-deprecation in Da Mi Mi's tone, after all, "playing with whoever is popular" is one of her many negative labels.

However, she has plenty of negative labels, so she doesn't care about them at all; having more debts doesn't hurt her.

Besides, isn't this just human nature? Those damn marketing accounts do the same thing. Before Zhang Xiaofei became famous, who could have noticed any interaction between Yang Mi and her? Nobody cared at all.

Just like the so-called Huang Xiaoming "riding" on her cousin's popularity, before Chen Meng won the Olympic gold medal, not many people really paid attention to her interactions with Huang Xiaoming.

Fortunately, Da Mi Mi has been around for so many years, so she doesn't take this kind of trouble to heart, especially since someone is drawing attention to her.

At most, she'll be told she only associates with popular people, but now someone else is going to be purged.

Three years ago, Zhang Xiaofei participated in a program called "Youth Class Reunion," where Yuan Shanshan publicly "exposed her shortcomings," insisting that she snores at night.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaofei posted a Weibo post, and even without tagging anyone, Yuan Shanshan could still sense it and comment, "Snoring isn't illegal, and you can't control it anyway, so don't take it to heart. Just find a boyfriend with even louder snoring."

It seems like a consolation, but it's actually mockery, taking advantage of the fact that you're not famous and not doing well.

However, at this point, fortunes change.
This is the most fun part of the entertainment industry.

This is yet another apology that's three years late.

After Da Mimi's enthusiastic explanation, Bai Liang gained a slight understanding of their "love-hate relationship" and thought to himself that there are really a lot of trivial matters in the entertainment industry!

Even though it was a trivial matter, it was still quite enjoyable to watch the drama unfold.

The drama of fortunes shifting from east to west over thirty years is truly captivating!
"That's just how the entertainment industry is~" Da Mimi said to Bai Liang with a grin, then asked curiously, "Haven't you encountered these things? Actually, it's quite normal."

"I really don't have any~ Everyone I've met in the entertainment industry has been really nice," Bai Liang said honestly.

"Huh? You were so ruthless, yet you encountered some really nice people?"

Her words were pointed, actually referring to Bai Liang's past grievances with certain top celebrities.

After all, rumors are circulating both inside and outside the industry that Bai Liang was behind the pranks on certain individuals.

Otherwise, Yanzi, the behind-the-scenes head housekeeper, wouldn't have such an exaggerated presence and aura; these things also contributed to that.

If Bai Liang is the "mastermind," then she is the "mastermind"!

Naturally, she imagined her as a behind-the-scenes big boss in the entertainment industry.

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Bai Liang realized he might have been a bit one-sided, so he added, "Bad people should all get out of the entertainment industry!"

He was merely stating some facts.

But to Da Mimi, it was a completely different story. She immediately imagined and extended the conclusion: "So it really was you!"

She felt no fear whatsoever; her heart was filled with excitement!

My little brother is amazing! I want to...
Hearing the tone of the voice on the other end of the phone change again, Bai Liang's forehead was practically covered in black lines.

Fortunately, his company sells evil kittens directly from the factory, so there's an unlimited supply.

Ok? !

The evil little cat seemed to sense someone talking about it and immediately shuddered.

He narrowed his big eyes, did some quick calculations with his fingers, but couldn't figure anything out.

However, Li Yitong casually pinned the blame on Bai Liang, saying that the male fox must be thinking about her, hehe.

It can be considered a hit or miss.

She and Xiaotian have arrived in Yanjing and are resting at the hotel. They will be heading to record "Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom Village" soon.

At this moment, Xiaotian was quite excited. You might not believe it, but this was her first time seriously participating in a variety show!

However, back in 17, Oda had actually made an appearance on a variety show.

That was "Grade One," the variety show that Sister Meng participated in back then, and she even dragged Bai Liang along to help her out.

But back then, Xiaotian was only in the audience of "Grade One" because she was good-looking, so she could still be in the camera's view.

She hadn't mentioned this relationship to Sister Meng at first, but it was only recently, after she had done a little better, that she brought it up.

It's a bit like Zhang Xiaofei's situation. When she wasn't famous, even when she appeared on the same show or in the same shot, she looked like a nobody.

However, as their fame grows, these strange coincidences are all dug up by bored netizens or marketing accounts, becoming embellishments to their current star power.

It's worth noting that Bai Liang's kindergarten and elementary school graduation photos have been posted online for several years now. Nobody knows where these people found them; he himself doesn't even have them.

Then it was revealed that he had been "embracing two women" since childhood.

#I'm building a harem in kindergarten#
"When is Sister Meng coming?" Xiao Tian had finished packing her things and looked up at Li Yitong, who was squinting and seemingly plotting something mischievous, and asked curiously. "Ah? Sister Meng? She'll be here soon. Her company is in Yanjing, so she doesn't have to stay in a hotel like we do."

"She's working in Beijing, so why did she buy a house in the same neighborhood as you, sister?"

Oda's rhetorical question, which he already knew the answer to, can be considered a reversal of the natural order.

I'm almost embarrassed by what that wicked little cat has done. What do you mean by buying a house in the same neighborhood as her? It was Sister Meng who bought it first. I'm just going back to her, cough cough.

However, when you're in the world of gangsters, you can't be too thin-skinned.

The wicked kitten shrugged and said, "I don't know. Sister Meng's ideas have always been strange. If she says something weird on the show, we have to play along. Otherwise, it'll be quite embarrassing if she says something wrong."

That point is absolutely correct!
Xiao Tian is now fully aware of Sister Meng's habit of speaking without thinking.

It's one thing to chat casually with friends in normal times, but to do it on a TV show can be quite dangerous. Sometimes, the saying "the mouth makes the heart ache" is no joke.

Seeing Xiaotian's face suddenly turn serious, Li Yitong chuckled and pinched it, "Don't worry, we're not really needed. Just enjoy the recording process, we've got your back!"

"It's Brother Xiaobai!"

It looks like a question, but it's actually a statement.

Li Yitong nodded, her big eyes narrowing into slits. Male foxes are very useful!

But this damn guy is really busy. He signed Gulnazar to his company, and then "joined hands" with Dilireba to attend a movie premiere. Now the two sides are still fighting each other online.

But times have changed!

Even this wicked little kitten is about to rise up in rebellion!

Just today!

"Chop, chop, chop~"

"Tongtong! I missed you so much!"

Your Sister Meng makes a dazzling appearance!

I heard someone is planning a rebellion?

The mischievous kitten quickly suppressed her thoughts of "raising a banner to rebel." She wasn't afraid of others, but as for Sister Meng... she wasn't afraid, but she still had to show her some respect.
Without Sister Meng, she wouldn't have had the chance to rekindle someone's romance.

We must not forget those who dug the well when we drink the water!
Wow! Sister Meng, your fierceness has grown even bigger!

"What are you saying, Tongtong, you little hooligan!" Sister Meng glared at her playfully, then looked at Xiaotian and asked expectantly, "Is what she said true?"

Xiao Tian was taken aback, then pursed her lips and nodded somewhat shyly.

Sister Meng: Hehe~(#^.^#)
In just a few words, under the influence of the wicked kitten's lead and her subsequent anger, the topic became increasingly raunchy and provocative.

When three people are together, as long as one of them is a racing legend, the conversation is bound to veer towards something risqué.

Unfortunately, the three of them couldn't share their experiences of being driven, otherwise, if they really started chatting, it would be a bit awkward if the driver was the same person.

Playing dumb is an art; it can allow life, friendship, love, and so on to continue.

Apart from Sister Meng.

She didn't really try to hide it; it wasn't her forte, but the evil kitten and the others would cooperate with her and not expose her.

"Hey~ you brought all the chocolates?"

Only then did Li Yitong notice the dog following Meng Jie around happily. She squatted down with a look of surprise, hugged it, and gave it several kisses!

"Yes, our chocolate is going to be on the show too!" Sister Meng said proudly.

"Did you inform the production team? And with so many guests this time, what if someone is allergic to dog hair or something?"

Li Yitong, however, considered things more comprehensively. Bringing an adorable dog onto the show would certainly garner more screen time and even improve her popularity with the audience, but the other guests recording the show together might have some reservations about it.
Sister Meng was taken aback, scratched her head, and said, "I guess you could say I've reported it?"

"What do you mean by 'should'?"

"I told the little hedgehog!"

"That's alright then. I should have brought my succulent along too, so it could keep the chocolate company."

I told Bai Liang that if anyone has any objections later, just shove the dog into his arms. If they're so capable, let them go and cause trouble for Bai Daxian. I really want to see who has that kind of courage!

"You can have someone deliver it later~ The little hedgehog is planning to bring a pet too!"

"Oh? Is that Xiao Bao?"

The news that Xiao Bao "signed" with Bai Liang's company some time ago has spread.

As the number one internet celebrity cat in the entertainment industry, and also has endorsements, it is extremely popular!
People might even get paid for appearing on TV shows!
Unlike Sister Meng's chocolate, where you can only work for free and be lucky to get some food and drinks, you also have to provide emotional value to people.

"Probably. But I'm not with him right now, and I don't know when he'll come."

This topic shouldn't be discussed too much, or we'll end up revealing Xiao Bao's real owner.

The name Nazha is still somewhat taboo for Sister Meng; she herself is unwilling to mention it.

"I'd like to bring them too, but I'm a little hesitant," Xiaotian chimed in, her eyes filled with longing, but reason told her that she'd better play it safe.

"Xiaotian has a pet too? My Chocolate will have another friend!"

Sister Meng was very interested in this topic and immediately wanted to see the photos.

However, Xiaotian may look cute, but she is actually a very capable person. Similarly, just like the contrast between her real personality and the pets she keeps, they are not quite what Sister Meng imagined.

Xiaotian's pet is a Maine Coon cat!

It's huge, and it looks incredibly imposing!

It looks like it could easily crush Sister Meng's chocolate on the ground with a single paw.

Of course, Li Yitong's chubby figure will probably suffer too, and she'll get hit along with it.
