Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 658 She's just that shallow!
"No romance storyline? Really?!"

"Really, why would I lie to you? Filming started today, and I have the latest script in my hands. It definitely doesn't include a romantic storyline between the male and female leads."

The wicked little cat was overjoyed to hear this on the phone!

She was initially disappointed because she failed to snatch the role in the drama, but now that she sees the details, she realizes that Bai Lu didn't gain any advantage at all!

Even though I lost, my opponent didn't win either!

Moreover, she has a drama series that is about to be broadcast, co-starring with Bai Liang. From this point of view, she is absolutely winning!

"My Heroic Husband" VS "Police Honor": Numerous male and female lead couple storylines VS No romantic storylines, so how can Bai Lu compare to her?

Overjoyed, the wicked kitten immediately declared that sharing joy is worse than keeping it to oneself.

I immediately shared this news with my "good friend" Li Xin!
Although she and Li Xin had a bit of a falling out recently, and their teams did have a fight, in the end everyone lost, so they were all "losers" and didn't care about the little conflict anymore.

That's how relationships between women are—they come and go quickly, and they make up just as fast.

"Really?" Li Xin on the other end of the phone didn't seem to have much emotion in her voice; her tone was rather indifferent.

"It's real, sister!" the wicked kitten declared confidently. "The male fox told me himself!"

Li Xin chuckled. "Are you trying to sow discord between me and my mother? And you told me yourself? What are you showing off?"

However, she also knew what kind of wicked little cat this was, after all, the two had known each other for so long, and the nickname "Sexy Chicken Sisters" was still circulating.

So, she knows what kind of fart this stinky cat is about to let out the moment it sticks its butt out.

Very bad!
Then Li Xin retorted, "Do you know how much power a male fox has on set?"

Li Yitong didn't seem to care much about the other person using her special "nickname," but instead frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"

"What I mean is, if he wants, he can add any kind of romantic storyline he wants—it's not impossible for him to turn this drama into a sweet romance drama."

"seriously?"

At this moment, it seems that the roles of the two have been reversed.

Li Xin chuckled and said, "It's genuine, sister~ Don't you know?"

Of course Li Yitong knew. She had acted with Bai Liang several times, so how could she not know this?
At this moment, she could even picture it in her mind: Bai Lu shamelessly whining in front of Bai Liang, begging him to add or change her scenes.

Here comes the most crucial part: Bai Liang is incredibly easily swayed!

Li Yitong used to like this about him; if she could just whine to him, he would agree to anything.

Of course, she felt she was very "sensible" and wouldn't cause the other party any trouble.

But she's sensible; others might not be!

The original purpose of Li Yitong's phone call with Li Xin was to have some fun together and, incidentally, to put a bad word to the other party.

The result was that she felt a little depressed and couldn't think of any effective "schemes" for the time being.

In the end, all I can say is: Damn it, Li Xin has gone astray too!
However, the opponent is not without flaws.

The tone and attitude of Li Xin when she answered the phone today actually revealed something. She wasn't this calm and collected when everyone was vying for the role! Something's definitely going on here!
The wicked kitten's big eyes darted around for a moment, then it immediately sent someone to inquire about Li Xin's recent situation.
She actually found out!

A major drama series featuring revolution, espionage, and historical themes, "The Wind Chaser"!
Like "Police Honor," it was even a co-production between CCTV and iQiyi.
Of course, we couldn't get much detailed information. We only knew that the other party had already made quite deep connections, so it wasn't easy to interfere.

But one important piece of news is that the male lead in this drama is a young character.

Knowing this, the wicked little cat knew without a second thought that the male fox was definitely the top candidate for the male protagonist.

For this type of resource, as long as the male lead's age and character are even slightly suitable, the script will definitely be sent to Bai Liang, and he is almost always the first choice.

Sometimes, unless Bai Liang's side backs out, or the production company simply can't wait, it's the other people's turn.
This is Bai Liang's terrifying dominance among the younger generation of male actors; he is absolutely in a class of his own.

So now the question is, did he accept the role in this drama?

The wicked little cat could ask Bai Liang directly, but after learning that the filming of this drama wouldn't start anytime soon, and wouldn't begin until next year at the earliest, she wasn't in a hurry. Of course, being in a hurry wouldn't do any good.

She does have good resources, but sometimes getting a major CCTV drama isn't just a matter of having good resources.

Take "Police Honor" for example. It was co-produced by CCTV and iQiyi, and she tried her best but failed to steal the show.

One can only sigh that Li Xin truly lives up to her reputation as a member of the "Sexy Chicken Sisters" duo; after being the first to be eliminated, she immediately found a new target.

The wicked kitten pondered for a long time before giving up on the idea of ​​causing trouble.

She's been a bit too active lately; her "date with Bai Liang" is still trending on social media.

In situations like this, it's better to do nothing than to make a mistake.
Besides, we still have to film "Joy of Life 2" together later. We can't let things really fall out with Li Xin, or we'll be put in a difficult position by Bai Liang.

At this point, the evil little cat has temporarily entered a "hibernation period," and everything will be discussed after "My Heroic Husband" airs!

However, we can discuss the issue of the production crew's authority that Li Xin mentioned more thoroughly.
After receiving the hint from the evil kitten, Li Xin said that he had no objection.

She's in a really good mindset right now; she feels like she's completely out of Mercury retrograde mode.

In this situation, it's time to cause some trouble for the people who previously made things difficult for you.

After a brief discussion, the two quickly came up with a "bad idea" that could be considered effective.

Thus, the "Sassy Chicken Sisters" duo made a comeback.
-
Li Xin was absolutely right; Bai Liang did indeed wield considerable power within the production crew.

Every version of the script that was updated before filming started had to be sent to him for review.

He's now more of a tyrant than a drama tyrant; if he wanted, he could even delete or alter some scenes at will.

However, he generally wouldn't do such a thing. He's not a screenwriter, and he doesn't have the idea of ​​taking on multiple roles in the production crew.

But many people still think he would do that.
Because there are indeed some eccentric people in the entertainment industry who write, direct, and act in everything themselves.

There are many examples of actors who have become directors, such as Deng Chao, Huang Bo, and even Shen Teng, so many people believe that Bai Liang will do the same sooner or later.

Coincidentally, last year he went to participate in that show called "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" and actually made a cameo appearance as a director.

It was during the filming of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" that both Wu Jing and Chen Kaige knew what kind of director he was and were quite familiar with his personality. Otherwise, it's highly likely that the crew of "Police Honor" would have treated him like a second director.

Even the show's actual director, Ding Hei, repeatedly asked him, both openly and subtly, for "guidance" during the script discussions.

However, Bailu doesn't seem to realize this yet.

The scene the evil kitten imagined—the one shamelessly whining and whimpering—did not happen.

After repeatedly reading the latest complete version of the script, Bai Lu realized that she and Bai Liang really had no romantic relationship, and it was all just "comradeship in arms." She was completely numb!

Nope.
The pancake was good, but it wasn't quite what she expected. It was like someone who didn't like cilantro being forced to eat a cilantro-filled fried pancake.

Do you eat fried dough sticks or not?

As a result, she visibly looked rather downcast. That's when the advantage of having her best friend by her side really came in handy!

"Bai Mengyan, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you read the script?"

"Why would I be reading a script when I'm your assistant?"

".Makes sense!"

After confiding in her best friend, the friend was also a little surprised, "Really, there's absolutely no romantic storyline? Not even any ambiguity?"

"Really not!"

"No wonder when we were filming today, during the scene where you went into the water, people asked you if you were cold, and you said you were the 'male lead' too~" your best friend said thoughtfully.

Ah this.

Hearing this, Bai Lu was a little embarrassed.

She said she was also the "male lead," but only pretended to be one.

This is actually a way of "creating a persona", emphasizing that one is not afraid of hardship or fatigue.

Of course, there are pros and cons to this kind of "tomboyish" persona.

The advantage is that she gets along better on set, and people don't think she's pretentious; in terms of fans, she can attract more female fans, since she's a tomboy.

However, the downsides are also quite obvious. After excessive marketing, people will think she is pretentious, or even call her a "spiritual man".

There are already derogatory nicknames for them online.

Fortunately, her rivals also have derogatory nicknames. Even if her own "White Man" is awful, it's not as bad as "Sexy Chicken Sisters"!
"Let's not even talk about that. There's not even a romantic storyline yet, how am I supposed to create a CP (couple pairing) with them?"

"Huh? Can't we create a couple pairing if there's no romantic storyline?"

"Of course it can't be without a romantic subplot! Wait a minute!"

Bai Lu suddenly felt like she'd been awakened by her best friend!
While she was pondering this, her best friend couldn't help but chime in, "You're just acting like a lovesick fool because Mr. Bai is handsome and gentle."

"fart!"

Bai Lu immediately retorted, indicating that she was not such a superficial person!

Her best friend remained silent, only looking at her with disdain.

The two stared at each other for a long while.

In the end, Bailu could only admit, "Wow! You have a good eye for people!"
Okay, that's just how shallow she is!

After the formal "opening," Bai Lu's choices and reactions were clearly completely different from those of the wicked little cat and Li Xin who were pondering her.

The two of them thought she was going to whine and act cute on set, trying to get Bai Liang to help revise the script and add a romantic storyline.

She did start whimpering, but it had nothing to do with the script.

"Brother, do you want some snacks?"

At the door of Bai Liang's RV, Bai Lu, with her hair in a bun and wearing a police uniform, peeked out and asked.

"What good stuff did you bring this time? Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

Bai Liang, who had just finished filming and returned to his RV to reward himself with a game, wasn't surprised that Bai Lu approached him in a rather familiar manner.

Within two or three days of the computer being turned on, she had come at least seven or eight times.

However, this girl is quite sensible; she knows she can't come empty-handed, so she always brings some delicious food with her.

"I only brought this to you to finish because I'm afraid of gaining weight~ My best friend has such a sweet tooth, she bought too much, and the two of us can't possibly finish it all."

At times like these, best friends are the best scapegoats, and Bai Lu (a legendary beauty) doesn't hold back when it comes to taking the blame.

Bai Liang then extended an invitation, "Why don't you get up in the morning and go for a run with me? Sometimes the ways you female celebrities maintain your figures are too unhealthy. Exercise is definitely much better than dieting."

Hearing this, Bai Lu hesitated slightly, "I might not be able to get up in the morning."

"Night runs are the same~"

"Okay!"

Going for a run together at night seems kind of romantic~
Anyway, that's what Bai Lu thinks, and she even thought about what would happen if paparazzi took pictures of her!

However, that very night, Bai Lu felt like slapping herself repeatedly.

I can't keep up, I just can't keep up at all.

Even though Bai Liang had taken good care of her and slowed down his running pace, clearly trying his best to help her, Bai Lu was still exhausted like an animal.

There are reasons why virtually no girls are willing to get up early to exercise or run with Bai Liang.

Is it that they don't want to?

It's simply impossible!
Bai Liang first met Zhang Chaoyang because of running. Zhang Chaoyang was a long-time runner, and Bai Liang completely outperformed him.

For those who don't usually do this kind of aerobic training, running with him is a real ordeal.

"Bai Mengyan, are you going tomorrow?"

"I'm not going, I'll die."

Bai Lu felt her legs trembling and decided to give up without even thinking.

Her best friend immediately cheered her on, spewing her motivational platitudes like, "You can't just give up like this! It's not that easy to be on the same side as your crush!"
And you know what? It really did come back to life after being watered by the White Dew.

"Should I try again tomorrow?"

"Try it!"

"No, I still have to film. I'll rest tomorrow and try again the day after."

You need to figure out what's important and what's not; don't let your legs shake while filming!
After all, this movie is filmed in police uniforms, and it wouldn't be good to tarnish that image.

Bai Liang thought the same thing, and on the second day, he also suggested that Bai Lu rest well for two days before making any decisions.
After all, with her legs shaking like that, anyone who didn't know better would think they had done something to her.

When Mr. Lü interpreted "violent aesthetics," he used more force than when he removed the gills of a fish during the Chinese New Year, yet he still managed to make the fish tremble violently.

Ahem, it's not that Bai Liang was deliberately thinking the wrong thing.

It's mainly because the police uniform Bai Lu is wearing suits her quite well.
