Chapter 134: Dachun, You Are Different from Others

~15 min read 2,836 words

The overall filming process of *Princess Agents* was quite smooth.

This statement sounds quite natural, but in reality, the filming of most crews, not to mention being full of twists and turns, but having some big and small situations

A professional film crew usually has anywhere from several dozen to several hundred, or even over a thousand people on set; coordinating such personnel is actually quite difficult.

Having a few problems is no surprise; it's an expected event.

Even Zhao Liying remarked, "Our production is running so smoothly; everything is just right."

"Huh? Isn't filming always like this?" Bai Liang asked, surprised.

"How could it always be like this? Our crew barely has any mistakes from the staff below. For a crew this big, that's very difficult!"

Being in a good mood today, Sister Zhao didn't mind giving Bai Liang, this little newbie, a lesson.

Bai Liang didn't understand, because the pacing of the few dramas he had filmed was basically the same: smooth, natural, and done in one go.

Like when filming the previous drama "Love O2O," why did Lin Yufen and Gu Man dare to "invent and create" halfway through?

Wasn't it just because the filming itself was incredibly smooth? As long as the actors' states were tuned well, there was basically nothing else to worry about.

This "Princess Agents" was about the same, upholding the good tradition and luck of the crews Bai Liang stayed with.

Except for the lead actress, Zhao Liying.

Don't ask; asking means a fungal infection.

Of course, it was just a false alarm, but Sister Zhao really did go to "prevent" it.

Presumably, the psychological shadow is still there.

Lin Gengxin hasn't even played games these past few days; he's completely shut himself off.

Wang Yanlin is just glad he ran fast; when he wrapped up, he didn't even eat, packing his bags and fleeing overnight.

Who told him to take his shoes off back then, too?

But judging by the pile of gloating memes he sent Bai Liang when he wrapped, this guy was probably laughing wildly while running away.

Fortunately, Sister Zhao is quite magnanimous and didn't hold anything against him because of this.

Well, probably~

Anyway, it didn't fall on Bai Liang; he had already flashed away over a hundred meters in an instant.

What could it have to do with him?

"By the way, how are your talks for that movie 'Duckweed' going?" Zhao Liying changed the subject, showing concern for this matter.

Bai Liang spread his hands, "I don't know. My agent seems to be talking, but Han Han should be coming over in a couple of days."

"Huh? Director Han Han is coming over?" Zhao Liying sat up straight, "To visit the set? How come I didn't know?"

"The crew just issued another part of the salary, and I still owe him some money..."

This time, Zhao Liying really couldn't hold it together!

What the hell!

She really couldn't help it, pulling her chair closer to Bai Liang, her tone even becoming more intimate: "Little brother, tell sister the truth, what exactly is your relationship with Han Han?"

Sister?

Bai Liang didn't mind being called that, but that little round face of hers really lacked persuasiveness.

Without going through a divorce, it's truly hard for her to have that vibe.

"It's just a relationship of owing some money. I don't even know exactly how much I owe, and I don't know if his car is fixed yet."

It was a rear-end collision where he was fully at fault~ Bai Liang wasn't planning to welch.

When Yanzi first found out about this, she sighed, feeling that her Little Bai brother really had a knack for spending money!

The speed of burning money playing with cars was too slow, so he crashed into someone else's car for fun?

However, after she learned that the car Bai Liang crashed into was actually Han Han's, she immediately thought... crashed well!

Before getting the role, this money definitely must not be paid back, oh!

Although Bai Liang couldn't agree with Yanzi's "playing the rogue" instigation, he felt it made some sense.

In this day and age, the one who owes money is the boss.

He once saw an acting prompt: how to leave a deep impression on the judges in the shortest amount of time.

One of the answers was: go up and give him a big slap!

You'll definitely leave a deep impression after hitting him.

Of course, how the judges deal with you after leaving that impression is a later story.

By the same token.

How do you make a director have a deep impression of you, or even talk about you often?

Besides seducing him, borrowing money from him is also a good method.

As long as you can borrow it, borrow a bit more; once the amount reaches a certain level, they will definitely talk about you every day.

The effect is indeed outstanding~

This kind of operation is actually something some internet girls have played with too.

Like intentionally messing with someone's luxury car, splashing fluorescent paint, or scratching it.

Thinking of such good things as "the little girl really can't afford to pay, so she can only offer herself."

But often the plot won't be like in romance novels, where the handsome, domineering CEO waves his hand, and a tragic love story begins.

Basically, it's always... my lawyer will contact you; work hard for the rest of your life.

So Bai Liang didn't intentionally crash into anyone before; he's just bold when driving. You can't blame him for that, right?

The rear-end collision was an accident, and he really intended to pay; he wasn't counting on any "offering himself."

Zhao Liying:...

Sometimes she feels desperate about being able to understand human speech; she feels like this kid is spouting nonsense, but it sounds like there's some logic to it.

It left her speechless.

Sister has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has never seen anyone as bizarre as Bai Liang.

Zhao Liying even doubted how she had judged him as a "resource-backed" actor before.

He's been freelancing until now; could it be that he's been getting roles using these strange, seemingly outrageous but actually effective methods?

It's even harder to accept than the dark, unspoken rules of sleeping with people in the entertainment industry.

It really breaks people's defenses.

Zhao Liying: What have I been working so hard for all these years...

"Sister~"

Huh?!

Suddenly hearing Bai Liang call out so intimately made Zhao Liying jump.

She had been leaning in close with her chair, but now she immediately retreated.

The chair made a harsh, screeching sound as it was dragged.

"What do you want, kid?"

"I might not have enough money to pay back Han Han. Can you lend me some?" Bai Liang reached out naturally, as if asking his own mother for money.

The shameless guy really dared to ask~

Zhao Liying's first reaction wasn't to refuse or frown; instead, she wanted to laugh.

What is this, trying to use this trick on me?

She quickly realized Bai Liang was joking to tease her, right?

It's always the big sister teasing the little fresh meat; you want to turn the tables?

Sister Zhao got a bit of a temper, the corners of her mouth curling up, revealing a gender-swapped Dragon King smile.

She has played quite a few "Phoenix Overlord" roles; a mere crooked mouth is easily handled:

"How much do you want? I'll transfer it to you right now, no interest."

"Huh?"

Is it this easy to borrow money these days?

Looking at the extra million in his card, Bai Liang was a bit lost. What now?

She really gave it!

He poured out this confusion to Lin Gengxin, who froze, a strange expression of "I've learned something" appearing on his face.

Then he gave Bai Liang a thumbs up, "Great Immortal, you're really awesome! How come I couldn't think of this method~"

"What method?"

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Lin Gengxin immediately took out his phone and started operating it. Bai Liang leaned over to look and almost laughed out loud.

This guy was actually borrowing money from Zhao Liying too.

A few minutes later, Sister Zhao replied with one word:

"Scram!"

Little round face, overflowing with dominance.

"Think of it on the bright side; this shows you have a good relationship with her, so she can speak to you so casually. If it were someone with an average relationship, she would definitely be very distant and polite."

Bai Liang helped analyze it rationally.

Lin Gengxin felt what he said made some sense, but quickly found a bug, "Then what about you?" "Me? I'm different."

"How are you different?"

"How about you lend me some money, and I'll demonstrate for you?"

Ding-dong~ Alipay received, one million.

How should I put it? Bai Liang now suddenly understood the matter of Li Qin being scammed out of three years of savings back then.

Is the entertainment industry this easy to scam?

Shouldn't those people in Northern Myanmar consider developing entertainment industry services?

"Demonstrate, then." Lin Gengxin was even urging him.

Bai Liang spread his hands, "I'm already demonstrating for you. Did you gain anything?"

"Huh? Gain what?" He said, looking blank.

"Gain... a lesson."

"Damn!"

To make this lesson more profound, Bai Liang decided to help Lin Gengxin save this million until next month, which is when "Princess Agents" wraps up.

!. Read

With such a good educational value as "a lesson," it wouldn't be too much to earn some Alipay interest, right?

What responded to him was a middle finger.

——

Han Han arrived much faster than expected.

This legendary post-80s figure who has achieved considerable success in the fields of writing, racing, and directing appeared so abruptly in front of Bai Liang.

How to evaluate Han Han?

He can write books, and writes them quite well.

He can race cars, and his results are quite strong.

He can direct movies, and the box office is quite high.

He can write lyrics and sing, and has even released albums.

He can run, reaching the level of a third-grade athlete.

But Bai Liang's biggest impression of this guy should be... Dachun, you are different from others; don't waste your time on studying.

After all, it's said that in '08, he predicted that housing prices would fall and that houses wouldn't be worth much in the future, so he advised friends not to buy houses and spend money on playing with cars instead...

There's an article on his blog titled "It Will Fall Immediately, Falling Below 1000."

It was actually talking about housing prices in Shanghai.

But this is understandable; after all, even Liu Cixin, who writes science fiction, with such strong imagination, only thought that Beijing's housing prices would be three thousand per square meter in the future.

Oh right, I heard that after housing prices skyrocketed, Han Han stopped advising friends to play with cars and not buy houses, and instead recommended buying houses in the Jinshan district of Shanghai.

As it turned out, Jinshan was the only area in Shanghai that only fell and never rose.

He also just bought a Tesla car, but didn't buy their stock.

This is a figure who has always been very controversial on the internet, but in Bai Liang's eyes, he just feels this person is quite interesting.

A bit fun~

When they crashed into each other's cars before, they actually just met briefly and didn't talk much.

They just left each other contact information.

This time counts as a formal meeting!

There's even a "clerk" on the side, naturally our Sister Zhao.

She came to join the fun, mainly very curious about what sparks would fly when Bai Liang's eccentric style met Han Han, who is also a bit abstract.

After all, strange connections made by rear-end collisions are truly rare!

But this just shows her ignorance; not to mention far away, just within the entertainment industry, there are those who gained a wife by rear-ending someone.

Bai Liang only hooked a director.

If luck really exploded, the one rear-ended should be a 1. -meter tall, long-haired, 36D beauty.

Not a writer, racer, and director with long hair, a beard, and who looks a little bit like Nicholas Tse.

Coincidentally, Bai Liang has quite a few titles too.

Compared to a multi-talented person like Han Han, he is also a strange actor who has recently played around in different fields.

Zhao Liying only realized this after the two met.

"We meet again. Is your car fixed?"

"This opening line..." Han Han's smile had originally started, but upon hearing this, he immediately pressed down the corners of his mouth, helplessly saying, "Not yet. That hit you gave was a bit hard."

"Send me the bill when it's fixed. My sister just lent me a million; I'll pay you back before I finish spending it."

"Sister?"

Zhao Liying was a bit embarrassed, but after all, she was the one who started the address, calling him little brother.

"It's me."

"Oh~ You two have such a good relationship? That would be a good thing if you filmed together."

Han Han looked at Zhao Liying and Bai Liang, hmm... felt the two were quite a match.

Of course, Bai Liang has been in the industry for so long, and there hasn't been a female artist he doesn't match with.

In the words of a certain director: he has CP chemistry with everyone.

This is also a manifestation of being blessed by the heavens!

"I have quite a connection with you," Bai Liang took the initiative to speak this time.

"How so?"

"Five, I bought your books."

Zhao Liying patted him, "Is this way of building a connection a bit stiff?"

"Is it?"

Han Han smiled and shook his head, "There are too many people who buy my books! I'm a bestselling author."

Ever since he started directing movies and achieving success, many artists he met said they were his fans.

When asked which book of his they read, everyone said "Triple Gate."

But this time Han Han still asked, "Which book of mine did you buy?"

"'1988: I Want to Talk to This World'."

"This..."

"I bought over twenty copies. The book was priced at 998 each at the time. How about it, count as your hardcore fan?"

"So expensive?!!!"

Zhao Liying on the side couldn't hold it together again, thinking to herself, do writers like Han Han also fleece fans?

Isn't it said that scholars have pride or something? How is it the same as traffic stars fleecing fan circles?

Han Han saw her look and knew what she was thinking, but didn't rush to explain, instead looking at Bai Liang with an incredulous gaze:

"That limited edition? You bought over twenty copies?!"

"Yeah~"

"No... did you have insider information at the time?"

Bai Liang shook his head, "My girlfriend at the time liked you quite a bit. She asked me to help buy them. As a result, after buying them, I broke up with her, and she didn't want those books either."

Han Han didn't know what to say, and his look at Bai Liang was obviously a bit off.

And to prove that what he said was true, Bai Liang even called his grandmother, asking her to take a photo of the bookcase at home and send it over.

Sure enough, over twenty limited edition "1988" books were neatly arranged together.

Hmm, they looked quite new, just unwrapped, the kind of new that hadn't been read at all.

"How did you buy them? I put them up for sale online; there weren't many copies in total."

"I have a relative who made software to help me grab them... that's not very important either."

Technology was just an embellishment; mainly, when Bai Liang placed the order, their server seemed to have had a little problem.

"What exactly is wrong? Can you guys stop talking in riddles?"

Sister Zhao was dying of anxiety! Like a marmot in a melon field, jumping up and down.

Han Han shook his head speechlessly, "The layout of that book was sparse, and the overall quality was average... The reason it was a limited edition was that it was made of carbon fiber, the cost was over a thousand, and I put ten grams of gold in each book. The gold price at that time seemed to be over three hundred. I was selling at a loss; I mainly just wanted to play around."

"I understand, there is a house of gold in books," Bai Liang nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he did see the gold, and had a deeper understanding of this sentence~

Han Han is fine!

He, Great Immortal Bai, also made a small fortune by the way~ not worth mentioning.
