Good heavens, a \"Crouching Dragon\" had come to the studio, with eloquence good enough to make cows fly in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanzi: It's over, I recruited someone who relies on his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang: Nonsense, he has a super important mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Liang, since I've just joined, how about I first help you talk to a fashion magazine with some weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it's different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only served Bai Liang, who was a newly minted \"top-tier\" young actor in the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Ahem*, not yet, but Old Zhou felt there was great hope for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Bai Liang chuckled, \"No rush for that; you have a very urgent mission right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please take a trip out of town and help me drive an RV to Shanghai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... how far is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over a thousand kilometers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Zhou: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his official job title in the studio was: Fashion Director!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that since there are few people in the studio now, the director has to do some other work too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Liang was very generous with money and paid a high salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only consolation was that Bai Liang told him: when you don't have to drive or be a bodyguard\u002Fassistant, you go run fashion resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xiao Bai, you trust him that much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the plane, Yanzi still asked with some worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? No, I trust your judgment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My judgment doesn't seem very good...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense, you went from Huang Jingyu to me, how could your judgment be bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Yanzi laugh; it made sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls... Yanzi was afraid the female assistant she recruited wouldn't be able to hold up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she committed theft?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, female assistants and female agents are also \"high-risk professions\" prone to \"friction\" with male artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it wasn't that she held up, but that the direction of their emotional development was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other girls were heading down the path of romantic love, while Yanzi... if this were ancient times, she should be calling him \"My Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, if Bai Liang traveled back to ancient times, he would definitely have the surname Liu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he was definitely of the succubus type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changsha, second time here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, the drama *Legend of the Condor Heroes* was to be broadcast on Dragon TV, and the online platform was iQIYI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going on a Mango TV show... it sounded a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mango TV had a tradition, which was to invite whoever was popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it wasn't just Mango TV shows that were inviting him; various media and programs were quite enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Bai Liang didn't have much interest; if he was filming, he would film well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless it was necessary promotion, of course he would go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phrasing was very good and received Bai Liang's praise, though it felt somewhat familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, Yanzi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I saw it somewhere else, just learning and selling it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Yanzi's theory was suitable for many actors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn't just variety shows; some actors who played the same type of role too many times would also become \"overexposed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bai Liang enjoyed the satisfaction brought by playing different roles more; while being an actor himself, he was also the most \"picky\" audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to really make him play the same type of role endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... you... bookmark 6...9...shu....com....!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that Yanzi hadn't discovered this point yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang just told her that when looking for roles later, try not to make them too similar to the previous ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a recording of *Happy Camp* today, and the guests were the *Chinese Paladin 5* crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, classmate Yanzi expressed a pertinent opinion: \"Brother Xiao Bai, I'm really a bit afraid you'll flip the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flip the car? Flip what car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, she was scared in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would definitely be branded a shameless scumbag and nailed to the entertainment industry's pillar of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the paparazzi could at most take some photos of him going out for a run in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yanzi knew very well that those were just appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang scratched his head, not knowing how to explain to Yanzi that he wasn't afraid of paparazzi or exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Metaphysics is much harder to explain than science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, thanks for Yanzi's concern~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xiao Bai, you still admitted it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Admitted what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scumbag...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all, I'm actually a responsible good man; you might not believe it if I say it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way, the only one who could have confirmed a relationship currently \"didn't want him,\" or rather, didn't dare to want him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nazha was even more excessive; she had built a little love nest, but still hadn't made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang didn't even know if he should move in when the time came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a girl isn't proactive, how could he have the nerve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A house in Shanghai!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sounded incredible, but these few years were indeed a time when celebrity salaries and endorsement fees were skyrocketing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the iron fist of \"salary limits\" fell, the entire entertainment industry was frantically raking in money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why even after they started limiting it, some people still couldn't hold back and engaged in yin-yang contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, Nazha, who had originally emptied her savings to buy a house, would soon be able to afford a bigger one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang had previously said that among her \"rich, beautiful, and famous\" keywords, she was lacking in the \"rich\" part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was coming to slap him in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1597,"2026-06-17T12:14:10.516Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","03ca193399cb1d7d45d15a7ba344b6f39480d00c644e4bd85f0aaa943956486a","showbiz-begins-as-a-male-model-chapter-111","showbiz-begins-as-a-male-model-chapter-109",668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshowbiz-starting-as-a-male-model-cover.jpg"]
