Chapter 110

~8 min read 1,597 words

After successfully joining Bai Liang's artist studio, Old Zhou was quite excited.

He said that the moment he saw Bai Liang, he knew this person was definitely not an ordinary person; he was absolutely a dragon among men!

At the time, he felt he could soar into the sky...

This awkward flattery made Yanzi feel incredibly embarrassed.

But Bai Liang felt it was quite interesting. Good heavens, a "Crouching Dragon" had come to the studio, with eloquence good enough to make cows fly in the sky.

Yanzi: It's over, I recruited someone who relies on his mouth.

Bai Liang: Nonsense, he has a super important mission!

"Brother Liang, since I've just joined, how about I first help you talk to a fashion magazine with some weight."

Old Zhou was quite high-spirited. Damn it, when he was a model agent before, even if he knew people from those fashion magazines, he was at most just a side player.

Now it's different!

He only served Bai Liang, who was a newly minted "top-tier" young actor in the entertainment industry.

*Ahem*, not yet, but Old Zhou felt there was great hope for the future.

How long had he been in the industry? He'd been number one on trending topics and had already acted as a male lead; the future was promising.

As a result, Bai Liang chuckled, "No rush for that; you have a very urgent mission right now."

"What is it?"

"Please take a trip out of town and help me drive an RV to Shanghai."

"Uh... how far is it?"

"Over a thousand kilometers."

Yanzi couldn't hold it together at this point; while trying hard to hold back her laughter, she added, "By the way, how many jobs do you want to work?"

Old Zhou: ???

What does that mean?

Before arriving at the airport, after a brief discussion, Yanzi handed over the duties of driver, bodyguard, and some assistant work entirely to Old Zhou.

Of course, his official job title in the studio was: Fashion Director!

It's just that since there are few people in the studio now, the director has to do some other work too.

However, Bai Liang was very generous with money and paid a high salary.

For Old Zhou, although the content of this new job wasn't quite what he expected... damn it, the workload seemed a bit too heavy.

The only consolation was that Bai Liang told him: when you don't have to drive or be a bodyguard/assistant, you go run fashion resources.

"Brother Xiao Bai, you trust him that much?"

On the plane, Yanzi still asked with some worry.

"Ah? No, I trust your judgment."

"My judgment doesn't seem very good..."

"Nonsense, you went from Huang Jingyu to me, how could your judgment be bad?"

This made Yanzi laugh; it made sense!

Actually, she had originally wanted to find a girl to be Bai Liang's personal assistant, but now she felt that if Old Zhou followed Bai Liang most of the time, it might be more appropriate.

Girls... Yanzi was afraid the female assistant she recruited wouldn't be able to hold up.

What if she committed theft?

These days, female assistants and female agents are also "high-risk professions" prone to "friction" with male artists.

Up to now, looking back, Yanzi realized she was the only young girl who had been in long-term contact with Bai Liang and could hold up.

Maybe it wasn't that she held up, but that the direction of their emotional development was different.

Other girls were heading down the path of romantic love, while Yanzi... if this were ancient times, she should be calling him "My Lord."

Or rather, if Bai Liang traveled back to ancient times, he would definitely have the surname Liu.

Anyway, he was definitely of the succubus type.

Changsha, second time here.

Logically speaking, the drama *Legend of the Condor Heroes* was to be broadcast on Dragon TV, and the online platform was iQIYI.

Going on a Mango TV show... it sounded a bit strange.

But Mango TV had a tradition, which was to invite whoever was popular.

Bai Liang had been too much in the spotlight recently; at that time, people from Mango TV had already contacted Yanzi, wanting to invite him to appear on a show.

At the same time, it wasn't just Mango TV shows that were inviting him; various media and programs were quite enthusiastic.

It was just that Bai Liang didn't have much interest; if he was filming, he would film well.

Unless it was necessary promotion, of course he would go.

But occasionally playing those "mentally challenged" little games on shows felt okay; playing them often would inevitably become boring quickly. Yanzi summarized it for him: Brother Xiao Bai, you're trying to be a performance artist~

The phrasing was very good and received Bai Liang's praise, though it felt somewhat familiar.

"Actually, it's good to appear on fewer variety shows. Brother Xiao Bai, you are an actor. Besides necessary exposure, actors still need to maintain a certain sense of mystery; appearing on too many variety shows will consume the audience's enthusiasm."

"Not bad, Yanzi!"

"Oh, I saw it somewhere else, just learning and selling it."

Actually, Yanzi's theory was suitable for many actors.

And it wasn't just variety shows; some actors who played the same type of role too many times would also become "overexposed."

Once they were typecast in the eyes of the audience, it was really hard to change, unless they could later use solid skills to break it.

And Bai Liang enjoyed the satisfaction brought by playing different roles more; while being an actor himself, he was also the most "picky" audience.

It was impossible to really make him play the same type of role endlessly.

In a sense, the main driving force for Bai Liang's acting happened to coincide with the career planning route of those top-tier actors.

Please... you... bookmark 6...9...shu....com....!

It's just that Yanzi hadn't discovered this point yet...

Bai Liang just told her that when looking for roles later, try not to make them too similar to the previous ones.

——

The recording for the *Legend of the Condor Heroes* crew was for *Day Day Up* tomorrow night, but there was a reason Bai Liang came early.

There was a recording of *Happy Camp* today, and the guests were the *Chinese Paladin 5* crew.

Regarding this, classmate Yanzi expressed a pertinent opinion: "Brother Xiao Bai, I'm really a bit afraid you'll flip the car."

"Flip the car? Flip what car?"

"Today you're going to see Sister Nazha, tomorrow it's Sister Meng; how many good sisters and young ladies do you have to see?"

Yanzi said this earnestly; she really cared about Bai Liang. If any problems arose, she would be the first to jump out and provide cover.

But even so, she was scared in her heart.

Her own boss was flirting with this one and that one; if it were suddenly exposed one day... it would be even more explosive than the Big Black Bull's heart-shaped stone.

He would definitely be branded a shameless scumbag and nailed to the entertainment industry's pillar of shame.

There were already quite a few paparazzi eyeing Bai Liang; it was just that he was "honest" and didn't like to wander around aimlessly while filming.

So the paparazzi could at most take some photos of him going out for a run in the morning.

But Yanzi knew very well that those were just appearances.

Bai Liang scratched his head, not knowing how to explain to Yanzi that he wasn't afraid of paparazzi or exposure.

Metaphysics is much harder to explain than science.

But still, thanks for Yanzi's concern~

"I'll be careful."

"Brother Xiao Bai, you still admitted it."

"Admitted what?"

"Scumbag..."

"Not at all, I'm actually a responsible good man; you might not believe it if I say it."

Many things in this world are just so unreasonable; for example, Yanzi, who had been following Bai Liang all along, couldn't imagine that in a sense, Bai Liang was still single.

No way, the only one who could have confirmed a relationship currently "didn't want him," or rather, didn't dare to want him.

Nazha was even more excessive; she had built a little love nest, but still hadn't made a move.

Bai Liang didn't even know if he should move in when the time came.

If a girl isn't proactive, how could he have the nerve?

He didn't know what big move she was holding back, or if she was just addicted to making money and couldn't extricate herself.

This little girl told Bai Liang a few days ago that she had taken on some new endorsements and had actually earned back the money for the house.

A house in Shanghai!

This sounded incredible, but these few years were indeed a time when celebrity salaries and endorsement fees were skyrocketing.

Before the iron fist of "salary limits" fell, the entire entertainment industry was frantically raking in money.

That's why even after they started limiting it, some people still couldn't hold back and engaged in yin-yang contracts.

It's hard to go from luxury to frugality; having tasted the feeling of making a lot of money, who could bear a decrease in income?

Unsurprisingly, Nazha, who had originally emptied her savings to buy a house, would soon be able to afford a bigger one.

Bai Liang had previously said that among her "rich, beautiful, and famous" keywords, she was lacking in the "rich" part.

This was coming to slap him in the face.
