He wasn't being polite; if Bai Liang really had a good actor who could come to fill in, he would naturally be happy to see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there wasn't much time left before *Wolf Warrior 2* started filming. Such a last-minute replacement was like a firefighter, and the filming conditions were indeed a bit hard...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing was also pondering in his mind which old friend could come to help. For this kind of job, if it wasn't an old friend, he really wouldn't be embarrassed to pit them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, there was no picking; catch one, and that's it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see... so beautiful? Can she endure hardship with that delicate look?\" Wu Jing, this big straight man, was prejudiced from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, there are several more, and we have to see if they have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang was still very understanding; he picked out the girls in his circle of friends who were relatively obscure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, only by being obscure could one possibly have an open schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Nazha and Reba, just thinking about it, their schedules were probably arranged until next year, so they couldn't possibly have time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best candidate was naturally Meng Jie, because she was the most obscure, living a miserable life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yitong wasn't much better; when chatting before, she complained to Bai Liang that she had to wait a long time before joining a crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party always felt it was outrageous that Bai Liang could get so many roles before *Love O2O* became a hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bai Liang was about to call Meng Ziyi first, his phone rang instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the caller ID: Nazha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey~ I saw on Weibo that you wrapped up and left the crew. Where are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the call connected, Nazha's impatient voice came through, making Bai Liang a bit puzzled, \"I'm eating, what's up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were the previous Nazha, she would definitely chat with him for a while, but now, she just wanted to ask for the exact address!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Send me your location, I'll come find you now, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nazha's voice on the other end of the phone was soft and sweet, seemingly with a bit of impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'm in Beijing~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm here too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll ask the person I'm drinking with...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, why not? If it's your friend, just come over.\" Wu Jing said generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Bai Liang asked Nazha if she minded if there were others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nazha thought for a moment, \"Who are you eating with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An unlucky brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlucky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, for a movie, he has to sleep with the director's wife at night, and this movie has tons of issues, and no money. Wouldn't you say he's unlucky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft~\" Nazha on the other end of the phone laughed, \"He is a little bit miserable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to curse. What do you mean sleep with the director's wife?! Making it sound like he sacrificed his looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem like there was any problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang didn't think too much, directly sending his current location to Nazha, and by the way, told Yanzi to go pick her up when she arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the female lead you want to find for me?\" Wu Jing had been listening with his ears pricked up for a long time, seemingly finally hearing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her? She's very popular! Can you afford the salary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang said casually, but it brought a considerable critical hit to the \"poor ghost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being provoked like this, Wu Jing was a bit unconvinced. Although he had just kicked the original female lead because he wanted to raise the salary by a few hundred thousand, he really couldn't say he couldn't afford it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money was a small matter; he mainly couldn't stand the last-minute price hike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Male chauvinism cares about face; a last-minute price hike was like looking down on him. Who could stand that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Bai Liang, who suddenly became a hit and floated on the hot search for so long, even Wu Jing's wife, Xie Nan, knew him and asked in surprise: \"How much did you spend to hire him to play the second male lead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Wu Jing was also worried that Bai Liang would do the same. After all, although not much time had passed, the commercial value and status were indeed quite different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he worried for half a month, and Bai Liang didn't even pay him any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only asked about the specific time to join the crew and the role before *Three Lives, Three Worlds* wrapped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wu Jing feel embarrassed instead, feeling that Bai Liang had suffered a big loss, so he took the initiative to propose increasing the profit-sharing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, this is male chauvinism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how big a star you find, brother will take it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then should I contact Yang Mi or Zhao Liying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey hey hey, Xiaobai, calm down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at Yang Mi or little Zhao now, they belong to the TV drama circle, but they definitely won't be cheap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing wasn't afraid of Bai Liang bragging, he was afraid he would do it for real... how awkward would it be to be hung out to dry then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neither? What about Angelababy?\" Bai Liang thought for a moment; he seemed to have this first-line female star in his address book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Wu Jing's face was wonderful. Good guy, he just came for an \"empty-glove Bai Liang,\" and this kid wanted to pit him to death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Liang! Brother Liang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was really anxious; he was really afraid that Bai Liang would perform magic and suddenly conjure Angelababy to scare him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, no, she's pregnant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang scrolled through his Moments and actually happened to see Angelababy post a photo of her bare belly, which was bulging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Let me see... I want a second child with my wife in a while too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you need to pay attention to some aspects, let me tell you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two discussed the issue of wives giving birth and second children with great interest for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Wu Jing didn't feel anything was wrong, until he looked at Bai Liang's overly young face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sss...* How do you know more than I do, kid?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so experienced, it was as if he had had several children with his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew about Bai Liang's reputation as a \"treasure god\" and \"immortal,\" his knowledge shouldn't be that broad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Wu Jing suspected that this kid was married and had children early!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was surprised was mainly because the domestic entertainment industry hadn't evolved to the advanced version of \"suddenly popping out a child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was still playing the old version: dating, marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't pretend, directly asking, even smiling and saying: \"Should I give your child a New Year's red envelope? How many should I prepare?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you give me a New Year's red envelope? I don't have children for the time being, but I'm still a child myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang felt there was no problem with this; his grandmother always treated him as a child~ the red envelopes every year were huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost, you just talked like you've given birth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do have thoughts in this regard, but there's no girl willing to cooperate for the time being.\" The girl had arrived~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nazha, fully armed, sneaked into the restaurant where Bai Liang and Wu Jing were eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yanzi had been waiting downstairs for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't surprised at all to see Nazha, because the news of Bai Liang being in Beijing was given by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, Nazha specifically asked Yanzi when she saw the wrap-up news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even if Nazha were a fairy, she couldn't have flashed from Shanghai to Beijing instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After meeting and greeting, Yanzi asked curiously: \"Sister Nazha, why didn't you ask me for the address directly? Didn't you say you wanted to give Brother Xiaobai a surprise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I regret it. I just want to tell him directly that I'm coming to find him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very good, very imposing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanzi compared Nazha and Reba, feeling it was hard to tell who was better, each having their own strengths and weaknesses. This problem should be left to her own Brother Xiaobai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don't you have announcements recently? You were so busy before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sister pushed all the announcements for the next three months! And pushed a TV drama!\" The little assistant added at this time, mainly worried that her sister would be too embarrassed to say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sss...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanzi was a bit impressed, and a sentence suddenly popped into her head: The brave enjoy the world first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!. Read\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nazha was too fierce!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her little fellow countrywoman Reba would have to face a dense schedule later, and wanting to see Bai Liang would probably be a luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Reba was far ahead of Nazha in her career, Nazha's behavior was something she probably could never do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Director Wu Jing, I'm Guli Nazha, Bai Liang's... friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming in, the courage Nazha showed was quite bluffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the private room, that momentum disappeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cool for less than three seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to say it, some girls' hearts are always complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When making certain sacrifices, they want the other party to know how much they care, but they are afraid their behavior will put too much pressure on the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing her schedule was her own choice; she didn't want Bai Liang to feel guilty because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She greeted Wu Jing very politely, then sat obediently beside Bai Liang, and even poured him wine...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this process, she didn't glance at Wu Jing at all, her big eyes seemingly glued to Bai Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her ears were still very sensitive. Listening to the chat content of the two, she began to feel something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cleared her schedule, thinking she could spend a good period of time with Bai Liang, but this guy was going to be abducted by Wu Jing, this thick-browed and big-eyed guy, to Africa to film a movie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inexplicably had a strange illusion: did this \"friend\" of Bai Liang just glare at him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl was quite fierce...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, after Nazha came in, Wu Jing didn't talk to Bai Liang about recommending a female lead anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't a fool; how could he ask him to recommend other girls in front of a young girl whose relationship with Bai Liang was clearly not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since she was so \"fierce,\" what if his little brother got beaten later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this day and age, domestic violence isn't just men beating women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang looked harmless, feeling like the type who would be bullied by women at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't mention it, but Bai Liang took the initiative to bring it up, \"Oh right, I still have to help you ask about the female lead. I'll make two calls to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, no rush, no rush, we can talk later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing pressed the hand Bai Liang wanted to use to take his phone, frantically signaling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female lead?\" Nazha blinked her eyes at this time, seemingly interested in this topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Bai Liang told her about the last-minute salary hike for the female lead of *Wolf Warrior 2*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you acting in the movie with me?\" Nazha bit her lip and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing just wanted to answer; after all, as the director and male lead, he naturally wouldn't let this question go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he found that Nazha was staring straight at Bai Liang to ask, and it had nothing to do with him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should be~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then can I act? I can audition now.\" Nazha said eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't even care what kind of character the female lead was, because these were not important at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have a schedule?\" Wu Jing was interested, but also asked the most important question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nazha's tone was exceptionally firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auditioning was naturally impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could you let someone's \"friend\" do a segment while drinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing felt that if it were really like that, it would be slapping Bai Liang in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like being a guest at a friend's house and asking the friend's wife to dance; is that appropriate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Nazha was too straightforward! Wu Jing liked this kind of straightforwardness. He was happy drinking today, and directly made the decision at the wine table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was decided verbally, but the specific contract details would definitely need to be studied again later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Bai Liang, Wu Jing could actually afford Nazha's salary now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said he could use Bai Liang's name to \"cheat\" some more investment; in this day and age, the name of a traffic artist was still very useful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salary would be a few million at most; he could add some more to the production budget with the excess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, when Nazha knew Bai Liang was taking a share, she immediately indicated that she had money too and could bring capital into the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thought was very simple: this movie looked so short of money, don't let the production budget be insufficient later, and the release quality be poor, affecting Bai Liang's commercial value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jing: ...Sometimes I really don't understand love brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not spending money to earn a fairly famous and traffic-heavy female lead, and the other party even gave him money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Tsk tsk tsk~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Bai Liang felt that the look the other party gave him was a bit envious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were troubles. Nazha wasn't the kind of unknown actor; even if she had a schedule, she couldn't follow the crew the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Bai Liang had such high heat now, and Wu Jing was embarrassed to drag him in the crew for too long, not to mention he had to join the crew of *Duckweed* in October.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The filming priority of these two people's scenes must be moved to the very front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, the filming plan would also need to be adjusted to a certain extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Wu Jing, who was drunk again, naturally went to sleep with the director's wife of *Wolf Warrior 2*, just as Bai Liang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, he also made a bold statement: I want a second child tonight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope he doesn't get kicked off the bed by Xie Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Nazha, who \"got what she wanted,\" smiled and rested her chin on her hand, looking at Bai Liang: \"We can film together again~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your little treasury must have been consumed quite a bit, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang thought to himself, truly a fool has a fool's luck. When *Wolf Warrior 2* is released next year, this little girl Nazha might be able to afford a Tomson Riviera in full payment, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've earned a lot of money from last year to now! I'm very capable!\" Nazha thought Bai Liang was worried she had no money, and quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go pay the bill and show it. I invited him today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Nazha run to pay the bill, Yanzi was also a bit impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really have it, Brother Xiaobai, Nazha was already silly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, she had to keep an eye on this movie *Wolf Warrior 2* later. Now it's not just Brother Xiaobai's share, but also Nazha's money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this damn movie doesn't pass one billion, Yanzi felt that in a moment of impulse, she might just go online and buy water armies to smear Wu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another chapter later.\u003C\u002Fp>",2700,"2026-06-17T12:14:10.516Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0d9584d90c119ccf74485001de22557a1f87fab23c05cce145afc0e3bd4cd445","showbiz-begins-as-a-male-model-chapter-156","showbiz-begins-as-a-male-model-chapter-154",668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshowbiz-starting-as-a-male-model-cover.jpg"]
