Chapter 152

"Wow~ so many people!"

Hearing Bai Liang's exclamation, Dilireba's first reaction was to laugh; she always felt his tone was a bit cute.

However, looking up and out, hmm... there really are a lot of people!

How come it feels like there are so many more all of a sudden?!

"The last time the number of fans outside the set increased was during the basketball game scene, right?" Bai Liang recalled accurately.

"Yeah~"

Dilireba also remembered it quite clearly; it hit the hot search after that episode aired.

Not only Bai Liang, but it even brought Jiang Jinfu along.

Who told these two to really play dunks in the show~

To show that these two could really play, Lin Yufen used a large number of long takes, the kind that tried not to be edited.

Just so the audience could see intuitively... no stunt doubles were used! It was them!

The response after airing was naturally not small; it even hooked in people from the basketball circle, with all kinds of analyses of Bai Liang and Jiang Jinfu's basketball level and physical fitness.

The guys who play basketball were quite respectful, stating that although there is a huge gap between these two and professional basketball players, they could be considered at a level that can control the lightning on the street courts.

Especially the jumping ability shown in the dunks, plus some visible intense confrontation, absolutely explosive physical fitness~

Female fans don't really understand these things; they just think Brother is so handsome!

Seeing some "authoritative professional" people talking about it, their thoughts changed from "Brother is so handsome" to "Brother is both handsome and powerful."

It seems to correspond to that opening theme song, making the audience start "searching for treasure."

Are you two supposed to be turning up the intensity like this in a youth idol drama?

If there were some editing and special effects, it would almost be *Basketball Fire*.

To be precise, it's starting to turn up the intensity for other "top-tier stars" in the domestic entertainment industry!

Before Bai Liang exploded in popularity, the gap between him and the top-tier stars in terms of popularity and traffic was still quite large; they weren't even at the same table.

They naturally had no reason to be nervous; you're powerful, so be it. No matter how talented you are, at most you're a second-tier star.

But now it's gradually becoming a bit different.

The positions of top-tier stars are actually very few and cannot accommodate so many existing at the same time, because the resources of the entertainment industry are limited.

People are rolling in every track.

Before Bai Liang got to the table, he was a small fry; after getting to the table, his specialties might equally crush every competitor who has the same "hobbies" as him.

For example, a certain Canadian friend who hyped up his basketball level a while ago... a future professional sewing machine operator.

Although there is no direct conflict yet, some people are already creating rhythm in this regard.

Some are simply Bai Liang's fans showing off their superiority... My brother is the best in the world~

If you shout this kind of slogan, you'd better be really that fierce.

Otherwise, the consequence is being mocked by the crowd.

In short, some people have already started researching and looking for Bai Liang's black material!

At that time, Jiang Jinfu was also confused when he saw the hot search. What's even more ridiculous is that after he earned a wave of heat by following Bai Liang, he didn't have to stay at home anymore; offers started coming to him...

He usually works out and plays basketball, and he posts on Weibo often, so why did he rush to the first place on the hot search just by filming a basketball scene with Bai Liang?

At the time, he was a bit confused and didn't understand, so he actually dialed a video call to Bai Liang to discuss why.

As a result, Bai Liang in the video tilted his head and stared at him for a long time, only asking one sentence: "Why is your head so pointy?"

Now Jiang Jinfu understood!

Damn it, change the barber! The hairstyle during this period was too ugly.

So~ the last time it was because of playing basketball that he hit the hot search, leading to more fans coming to visit the set.

This time it's because...

"Oh, it's airing our pool scene!" Dilireba looked at the hot search, surprised and also a bit embarrassed, as if she recalled some shy content.

That pool scene also had a special meaning for her—the first intimate contact~

"No wonder, what place is it on the hot search?"

"First. It's full of screen-licking again; I'm too embarrassed to read what some people are saying."

Dilireba isn't jealous of the female fans, because she has a share in it too.

Clicking into the first place on the hot search right now, it's a screen full of photos of her wearing a swimsuit and sitting on Bai Liang's shoulders.

The swimsuit isn't revealing, but the hormonal impact brought by the handsome man and beautiful woman with good figures is not reduced at all.

After all, certain things, even if covered, can still give rise to various comments and reveries from the shape and outline.

Besides her, there's also Bai Liang...

Dilireba glanced a few times and even saw explicit comments like "These two must be super intense when they do it."

How could she handle this?

She even couldn't control her own reveries...

Oh right, in the picture, a small part of her butt was pressing against Bai Liang's neck~ Since she was sitting on his shoulders, it's normal for the flesh to be squeezed.

Even though many people are praising her good figure, even a small amount of teasing makes her feel a bit... what does it mean to be riding directly on Bai Liang's face?!

This statement is too evocative.

Looking at Dilireba, whose ears were suddenly red, Bai Liang was a bit confused. What's wrong?

He didn't look at the hot search, but opened his own Weibo; everyone was praising him for his "boyfriend power" or something.

The abs were indeed not for nothing~

It's just that, perhaps because he generously "sold flesh" in the show, many of the fans who came today had strange looks in their eyes!

Because they were basically all female fans, it was fine on Reba's side; girls praising her good figure wouldn't seem very shameful.

But on Bai Liang's side, I always feel that some girls' little hands aren't very honest!

Fortunately, he reacted fast enough, otherwise some bold ones would have really stuck their hands on him.

If they just wanted to touch his abs, that would be fine, but some of them were acting like they were heading for the ancestral hall.

That won't do!

That's a different price~

"Are you two together?"

"Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei are of course together; they even got married. I'm not spoiling it, right?"

While signing autographs and answering fans' questions, Bai Liang had a slip of the tongue and revealed the ending.

In fact, this thing has an original work, and the TV show adaptation wasn't too drastic, so let alone the ending, even the plot was known in advance by many viewers.

But this didn't affect the audience watching the show at all; instead, they had a uniquely different experience.

However, Bai Liang seemed to have misunderstood.

People weren't asking him about Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei at all...

"Are you and Reba together?"

This female fan's voice was a bit loud; after she shouted, a bunch of people heard it, and then there was crazy cheering.

At this time, Reba was not far from Bai Liang; the two were only a few meters apart.

Looking up and making eye contact, the fans became even more excited.

How should this question be answered?

If Bai Liang said no, that would definitely be inappropriate; they were still in a CP relationship, and he couldn't let the fans down like that.

Besides, girls are relatively sensitive.

Not to mention, the two of them had secretly kissed in the RV again today...

Even if Dilireba wouldn't show anything right now, she definitely couldn't stand it in her heart.

"In the parallel universe of *Love O2O*, we are married." Bai Liang said with a smile.

"What about the real world!"

The CP fans didn't seem to buy it and couldn't wait to get something real; they looked like they wished the two of them would kiss right there on the spot.

How could that be allowed~

"The real world... then I'll try my best."

"Ahhhhh!"

A burst of screams, the girls couldn't help but start to stir on the spot!

The staff on set had to come over to maintain order, lest any accidental falls or stampedes occur.

Oh right, that "try my best" wasn't said by Bai Liang.

It was said by Dilireba.

However, her sentence was indeed very clever.

It could ignite the fans' enthusiasm on the spot and excited them all.

But thinking about it carefully, it actually denied the fact that "we are a couple right now."

Trying doesn't necessarily mean success~

At the same time, she seemed to express her feelings, showing bravery and initiative, and also gave the CP fans room for imagination.

This generous business operation actually helped her gain a lot of fans.

The two were directly rated as the sweetest film and television CP in recent years, spreading sugar wildly online and offline.

Honestly, this pair of leads in *Love O2O* made many other TV show producers very envious. Damn, you can do business like this?

You don't even want your face...

But looking at those hot searches one after another, plus the online click count that had already broken 10 billion, they were truly drooling with envy.

The matter of generous business operations seems very simple to talk about; it's not difficult, it just requires the cooperation of the male and female leads.

But if it were really that easy to cooperate!

Some people have partners, some need a single persona to attract fans, some just don't like each other, and some simply have no CP chemistry...

Even the operation of the female side being proactive like Dilireba is not something an ordinary female artist can do.

She didn't overturn this time, and her business attitude was even widely praised.

But if this thing is handled improperly, it's easy to be labeled as "clinging" or "worthless."

This is a devastating blow to a female star's personal image; don't even think about establishing any independent big-woman persona.

Do you really think "love-brained" or "little spoiled wife" are good words in the fan circle?

It can only be said that she is truly brave, and Bai Liang didn't show any resistance, willing to look at her and smile, leaving room for imagination for the fans.

If Bai Liang didn't cooperate, Dilireba would be miserable.

That's what the people at Jiaxing told her; although it was a bit of hindsight, they really didn't expect this girl to be so bold.

"Reba, oh Reba, you have no experience in this regard; you really need to be careful. Today, if Bai Liang had dodged your eyes or spoken vaguely..."

"I trust him~" Dilireba said subconsciously.

This book is updated recently at ##!! Update!

"Ah?"

"I mean, we discussed it..."

"Discussed it? I saw on the hot search that you were whispering when you left together after signing autographs. Was that also chatting about this? Is there a follow-up?"

"Uh... that, no."

"Then what were you chatting about?"

Dilireba's expression suddenly became awkward, "Chatting about what to eat for lunch tomorrow..."

This was the absolute truth! But her company people didn't believe it at all.

——

"Brother Xiaobai!!!"

Yanzi, who had traveled far and wide, was full of exhaustion, but her spirit was exceptionally full.

Bai Liang indicated that Yanzi had been much busier than him these days.

One business deal after another to negotiate, a pile of offers coming to the door, and scripts handed over that needed to be screened.

Oh right, it's good that the studio now has more than just her and Old Zhou as employees; the two of them have also recruited some "beasts of burden," so they don't have to do every little thing themselves.

For example, Old Zhou still had to run out in the middle of the night to buy condoms for Bai Liang...

Later on, he might still be the one to buy these kinds of things.

After all, how could they easily entrust these private matters to the newly recruited people?

"It looks like you have some good news to share with me~"

Looking at the excited Yanzi, Bai Liang indicated that he was already sitting upright, ready to be happy together.

Although she knew he was doing it on purpose, every time Yanzi saw her Brother Xiaobai being so serious, just like a primary school student waiting to receive a small red flower, she felt happy in her heart!

The emotional value given is so strange! Interesting~

"Cough cough, first is a pile of interviews... some can be pushed, some are really hard to push, but I said Brother Xiaobai is still filming, so many can come to us for interviews; just do these when you have time."

Yanzi said while observing Bai Liang's face, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming there was no such irritable expression.

The explosion of popularity naturally brings a sudden increase in workload, and her Brother Xiaobai has always been used to being leisurely; Yanzi was really afraid that he wouldn't have time to play games for several days and would make a fuss like a child...

Boys, sometimes they are like this; they say male psychology is equivalent to child psychology.

Interviews and the like have actually been going on, and will basically be maintained until *Eternal Love* wraps up.

Doing these things while on set won't affect too much.

"Old Zhou also has good news; *Harper's Bazaar* and *GQ* have both sent cover invitations, and they are for the September issue!"

When saying this, Yanzi couldn't help but get excited.

These two are mainstream fashion magazines, one for women and one for men; the previous Bai Liang really couldn't get on their covers, even if Old Zhou used his connections to try to reach them, he didn't succeed in the end.

But now they have taken the initiative to come to the door.

It might also be because after *Love O2O* exploded, the second-tier fashion magazine that Bai Liang shot for previously was also bought out.

Many fan-circle girls like to buy peripheral things.

But Bai Liang happened to have nothing of this kind for them to buy.

Looking around, there were only those magazines... their consumption desire couldn't be satisfied at all!

As for the September issue, the magazine's level is important, and the month is also very important.

Fashion magazines have several important time points: January for the new year, March for the new season, Golden September and Silver October, anniversary issues, and the end of the year.

The importance is roughly: Anniversary month > September Autumn/Winter Fashion Week > March Spring/Summer Fashion Week > January New Year > October > December Year-end.

The reason why September is called Golden September is mainly because it is the time period with the largest advertising volume.

Bai Liang: Ah~ back to my modeling career.

When acting, he is an actor; when it comes to fashion magazines, he feels he is still a male model~

"After that, there are some show invitations. The shows you and Sister Reba went on all refreshed the highest ratings in the past two years after the previews aired, and the online click counts also hit new highs; they were all show fans who hadn't had enough of the drama going to check in. Some shows even want to invite Brother Xiaobai to be a regular guest..."

Yanzi just wanted to talk about the price because the prices offered by several variety shows were really wow!

Let's put it this way: just accepting one variety show, the salary for one season could be higher than all the salaries he had earned since his debut combined!

And it was higher by more than just a little bit!

However, this time Bai Liang gave a direct refusal.

"Let's forget about being a regular on variety shows; how can I play retarded little games often."

"Hmm, I think so too. Brother Xiaobai, your acting is so good, your track is much wider than those so-called top-tier stars!"

Although it was a pity, Yanzi wouldn't oppose such a decision.

Her ambition has now expanded along with it.

Top-tier star? What's the point of just being a top-tier star!

The most important thing right now is actually picking a drama for Bai Liang for next year.

The reason it's for next year is mainly because this year's schedule has been completely filled.

The time between *Eternal Love* and *Ride the Wind and Waves* was just taken by that "empty-handed white wolf" guy, Wu Jing.

Now Yanzi still has resentment when she thinks about it! Stinky hooligan!

This led to Bai Liang needing to squeeze out time to do magazines, commercials, etc. later.

Oh right, commercial endorsements! This is a big item for making money, and Yanzi specially left it for last, thinking about letting Bai Liang "shock" himself with his current money-making ability.

However, at this time, Bai Liang suddenly interrupted, "By the way, do you have a record of the shows that have invited me to be a guest recently?"

"Of course I do!"

Yanzi took out her notebook very nimbly, which was clearly recorded inside.

She originally thought Bai Liang wanted to pick two shows to increase his recent exposure, but he seemed to have a goal...

"This one, let's accept it."

"Ah?"

Yanzi looked at the show called *Grade One* and didn't understand.

It's not a very popular show like *Keep Running*, and because of the age, it's somewhat awkward.

Bai Liang is too young; some of the students in that show are about the same age as him.

Going over to guide people in acting is easy to get scolded for.

Why go to this one?

Even if it's a guest appearance, there's no need, right? The Mango TV production team probably didn't have much hope either.

Yanzi has been too busy lately, so she really didn't think it through for a moment.

However, when she checked the personnel composition of the show, she understood immediately.

She patted her head. Hey, Sister Meng is too obscure; I almost forgot about her... I don't know if she's doing well on that show~

Thinking of her strange train of thought and her quick mouth, I'm afraid it won't be too good.

Asking someone about the recording situation, sure enough! Sister Meng has already cried on that show.

Now Yanzi understood instantly!

Her Brother Xiaobai is preparing to go and support her.

Although doing this is a bit irrational, she didn't persuade Bai Liang.

Irrational, but really... a bit handsome~ As expected of him!
