Chapter 160
Once Bai Liang officially participated in the show "Grade One," he did vaguely feel some "scrutiny."
Perhaps even a bit of disdain.
Most of the trainees participating in the recording of this show were actors with formal training from the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, or Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Some had even debuted for several years and were older than Bai Liang.
In a sense, they could all be considered his seniors.
However, the entertainment industry seems to be like this: once you become a hit, unless there is a genuine difference in seniority, it's all about status.
Fortunately, Bai Liang really didn't use the "diva" tactic, nor did he feel he was anything special after becoming famous.
Because he is pretty amazing whether he is famous or not~
But his habitually gentle attitude made some male trainees with stronger self-esteem breathe a sigh of relief, especially those older than Bai Liang.
For example, Cheng Yi, who is considered the central figure of this show; this guy is two or three years older than Bai Liang and debuted five years ago.
At this moment, with Bai Liang popping up and standing in front of him, even if the other party did nothing, the pressure was like a mountain.
It didn't go so far as to make him feel inferior, but it was still uncomfortable in his heart.
Plus a little bit of resentment.
Hmm?
Bai Liang seemed to smell something in the air.
The capybara turned his head and locked eyes with Cheng Yi. What's up, young man, you're not convinced?
If you're not convinced, then just stay unconvinced~
Find a way to overcome it yourself.
Bai Liang, this big cotton ball, has never had any interest in stubborn young men who aren't convinced.
He didn't come here today to bully male actors of his own age; just showing support for Meng Jie is enough.
After all, he can "bully" Meng Jie, and the other party is always willing to cooperate shyly—isn't that much more interesting than bullying men?
Oh right, he can also "chase a star" while he's at it.
He really likes the show's mentor, Chen Jianbin; he is a fan of his.
As soon as he sees that "Big Orange" look of his, the line "Huanhuan, I, the Emperor, am emo!" seems to echo in his mind.
Compared to old actors with excellent acting skills, Bai Liang is more interested in old actors with memes.
Life, after all~ being interesting is just too important!
Chen Jianbin: Hmm? This kid's eyes are a bit strange; I'll turn up the intensity for him later.
Bai Liang briefly accompanied Meng Ziyi and the others in recreating the hosting style of "Happy Camp," then immediately ran away.
He was hurriedly brought on stage by staff to present the Audience's Favorite Actress award to Sister Zhao this year.
This thing is a double-yolk egg, for both men and women.
Let's call them the Golden Eagle Best Actress and Best Actor for now; for Best Actor, it's Hu Ge from "Nirvana in Fire" and Wang Lei from "Ordinary World."
The Best Actress is Sister Zhao from "The Journey of Flower" and Tong Liya from "Ordinary World."
What surprised Bai Liang was that his appearance on stage as a presenter was a last-minute arrangement; he hadn't even mentioned it on his Weibo.
But when he took the stage and the big screen gave him a close-up, there were actually loud screams from the audience.
It seems many people were shouting "Xiao Nai."
"Love O2O" is still exerting its influence! The power of a hit idol drama is evident.
Bai Liang naturally wouldn't get stage fright, and he didn't forget to wave to the audience who were shouting his "name."
That signature gentle smile drew another wave of screams.
This commotion made many artists in the industry off-stage glance over slightly; quite a few took a few extra looks at Bai Liang, seemingly remembering him.
A display of popularity.
This seems to be the same principle as why traffic stars need those online data points that Yanzi mentioned.
Popularity, traffic—these things need to be displayed through certain media so that everyone can more intuitively see one's "value."
Just from Bai Liang's simple appearance today, Yanzi will be able to receive more commercial resources and scripts later.
"Congratulations, well-deserved."
Taking the trophy from Bai Liang's hand, Sister Zhao habitually rolled her eyes at him, "You're quite popular~ Your eyes keep glancing off-stage, who are you looking for?"
At this time, Tong Liya was giving her acceptance speech, so the two of them whispering behind her had no pressure at all.
Bai Liang was also very honest: "Looking for where Sister Mi is~"
"She left long ago; she's married, you kid, be careful."
Hmm? The complete form of Zhao Xiaodao?!
Compared to the indifference and coldness when they first met, Sister Zhao's tongue is now as poisonous as a Western diamondback rattlesnake.
The key is that she didn't give Bai Liang a chance to explain; after she finished speaking, she magnificently took over from Tong Liya to give her acceptance speech.
When they left the stage, she naturally reached out to hook Bai Liang's arm, "Don't walk so fast with those long legs, I can't take steps as long as yours; if I fall, I'll just take the opportunity to pull your pants down."
What else could Bai Liang say? He gave Sister Xiaodao a thumbs up.
While slowing his pace, he also sighed, "Sister, you are too good at spraying venom!"
"Why are you so perverted?"
"Ah? Why am I perverted?"
Looking at his expression that didn't seem faked, Sister Xiaodao's furrowed brows relaxed.
As a result, Bai Liang suddenly understood at this moment, "Oh~"
"Shut up! Don't say it."
"You really like spitting venom~"
Spitting venom?
Ah, this!
Sister Zhao had a sense of astonishment, as if she, the female hooligan, had thought of the boy too badly, but when cut open, the yellow heart was actually her own.
Also, venom... snakes do indeed spray venom from their mouths.
She had really thought just now that Bai Liang was making dirty jokes at her~ she had wronged him.
Hmm?!
Bai Liang really understood this time! Even as calm as he was, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Good fellow, the sister contestant is truly fierce; he hadn't even thought of that part just now.
She's quite the pro at driving this car~
Yang Mi had never teased him with such explicit dirty talk... Perhaps it was also because Bai Liang hadn't seen Yang Mi in her full-power, peak state.
So he slipped away quickly, rushing to the "Grade One" side to "cleanse" his soul with the young girls.
But running away is impossible; once the Golden Eagle Festival is completely over, Sister Zhao and Hu Ge will also go to the "Grade One" side to join in the fun.
"Meng Meng, he is really good to you..."
Hearing Yu Shuxin say this, Meng Ziyi's first reaction was naturally pride.
However, considering the current scene, she just said pretentiously: "Hmm~ it's alright."
"Are you two dating?"
Seeing the other girl's gossiping eyes, Meng Ziyi's mouth twitched slightly, and she said with difficulty: "No..."
"You're not dating yet? You should be more proactive!"
"Career comes first..." While saying this, she naturally had some thoughts in her heart: Hmm, I want to eat the old grass again.
No, this time I can eat it deeply.
Little Hedgehog is so good to her, she should also return the favor!
Just when her mind was completely off the show recording and she was thinking only about the "old grass" for the night, Yu Shuxin gave her a warning:
"You should quietly tell the male god later; I overheard the mentors discussing, and Teacher Chen Jianbin said he wants to test his mettle, he might have him come and guide us." "What mettle? What male god?"
"The male god part isn't important; you should just give him a heads-up."
"Mettle?" Meng Ziyi naturally thought of basic professional skills for actors like body, performance, and lines, and then almost laughed out loud.
Yu Shuxin's thinking was actually quite normal; Bai Liang's age is what it is, and he isn't even formally trained.
Just because the dramas he acted in were hits doesn't mean his professional skills are stronger than those of them who came from formal academies.
Just looking at the male trainees recording the show today, there are probably several who aren't convinced by him.
The female trainees are slightly better... after all, he is the newly promoted leader of the entertainment industry's visual party; the post-85 actresses were just "fighting over him" backstage, let alone these young girls.
If it weren't for Meng Ziyi sticking to Bai Liang like a plaster, and having Yu Shuxin as a "bodyguard" nearby, someone would have already stuck to him—the entertainment industry has always been like this.
When Bai Liang returned, Yu Shuxin discovered that her good friend hadn't given any warning.
She was still that smiling, infatuated girl.
This book is currently updated at ##!! Update!
However, Chen Jianbin wouldn't really make things difficult for Bai Liang, a guest; he first asked for Bai Liang's own opinion, and if he didn't want to, then forget it.
Bai Liang: That works too~
Suddenly, the male trainees of "Grade One" had their fighting spirit surge.
If the person standing here today were one of those "old-school" traffic stars who had been popular for a while, perhaps no one would dare to touch the mold.
But Bai Liang is a newcomer, and his debut time is too short.
Then they not only have the guts, but they have a lot of them!
Let's see the real skills!
If Bai Liang talks nonsense or fails to express himself clearly while guiding acting, then don't blame the "trainees" for being "disobedient disciples" for once.
Just like when Meng Jie once outshone Im Yoona.
Traffic backlash is indeed scary, but the benefits it can bring are truly mouth-watering!
However, when these pairs of burning eyes collectively looked at Bai Liang, they found that this guy just gave a chuckle.
After that, the expression on his face was calm, just with a tiny bit of playfulness?
Bai Liang: Back then, before Huang Jingyu was rubbed on the ground, he was also this confident.
Half an hour later, when Zhao Liying and Hu Ge arrived at the recording site of "Grade One" with their trophies, they were a bit startled.
What's going on?
Why are these young people all listless? Is the recording too tiring, are they wilted?
Some individual contestants even looked... as if they had lost their parents?
Cheng Yi, who was hit the hardest, had a dazed look in his eyes at this moment.
The boys were wilted, but the girls seemed to have eyes shining... so strange.
At this time, Bai Liang, who was chatting with Chen Jianbin, discovered a gaze precisely locked onto him.
Turning his head to look, it was indeed Sister Zhao, who drove the car fast.
After some welcoming and greetings, Sister Zhao naturally sat next to Bai Liang, put her hand on his shoulder, and leaned into his ear: "What did you do?"
Bai Liang was a bit puzzled, "Why is it me?"
"Now, whenever there is anything wrong, I suspect it's you, kid."
"Hiss... Sister, you have a sharp eye for people!" Bai Liang admired.
After Sister Zhao learned the general situation, the smile on her face couldn't hold up either.
Acting skills? Theoretical guidance?
The kid next to her is a monster... what formal training or not.
The directors of the crew all said he was gifted by God, and yet his theoretical foundation is terrifyingly good.
Sister Zhao naturally knows the situation; she herself has been a "victim," so she couldn't be clearer.
She had even asked about it and got the answer: actually, doing these things is "not difficult at all."
Read books, read more books, read books fiercely.
It's just that Bai Liang's efficiency in reading is "a little bit" higher than others.
Only those who have truly been hit can remember what Bai Liang relied on to become famous in the entertainment industry in the first place.
A top student! A test monster!
A ruthless person who can gnaw through the national civil service exam and the judicial exam.
Compared to those true super-god-level top students, he naturally can't compare; those people are always pushing the development of disciplines.
But handling most of the people in the entertainment industry who don't even have a solid nine-year compulsory education, he can really do whatever he wants.
After he became famous, his college entrance exam scores were dug up; although it wasn't anything as exaggerated as a top scholar, it was still quite scary.
It didn't even match the university he attended... making people wonder how he applied to such a "trash" school.
There were even netizens online who made up a story for him about giving up a better school for love.
Bai Liang was also quite speechless about this, because the netizens were right.
However, the reason that it was close to home and he could go home for dinner every day accounted for a large part.
"Meng Meng, don't be excited! Calm down! That's Zhao Liying!"
"I... I'm not excited either~"
Meng Ziyi explained with her mouth, but her eyes kept staring at the hand Zhao Liying had placed on Bai Liang's shoulder.
Fortunately, she was just looking, her eyes just widened a bit.
Yu Shuxin next to her breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she wouldn't dare to urge Meng Ziyi to be more proactive in the future.
In fact, Meng Ziyi just couldn't control her eyes; she really didn't have too many thoughts in her heart.
Used to it...
Zhao Liying just has a big reputation and high status; she has seen more terrifying opponents.
To this day, she still can't forget the pressure Guli Nazha brought her back then.
The terrifying offline outshining, it really didn't make any sense!
It was just hard beauty! Hard outshining!
It made people feel inferior; they couldn't last a few rounds at all.
Dilraba later was equally exaggerated; that kind of atmosphere and attack power scared Meng Jie and Li Yitong into "fleeing in a panic" at the time.
Now seeing Zhao Liying... instead, she felt, oh, just this?
It's not looking down on the round face; Zhao Liying also has her unique charm, but there really isn't that much pressure.
And besides, her age is there; a big sister approaching thirty, no matter how powerful, she's still heading towards thirty.
The invincible youth of the early twenties, on the contrary, is not afraid.
"Your little girlfriend?" Sister Zhao noticed Meng Ziyi's gaze and suddenly said this.
Damn, I'm really convinced!
Bai Liang felt that Sister Zhao shouldn't be an actor either; she should be a police officer, squatting in places like train stations to catch thieves, guaranteed to catch one every time.
That fiery eye is simply outrageous.
This time Bai Liang didn't speak either, just looked at her helplessly.
As a result, the other party frowned, then smiled: "Oh, so it's an ex-girlfriend! Little brother, you're quite loyal! I get it~ Let's have a late-night snack together when it's over, just to celebrate me winning the award today."
Bai Liang: I really didn't say anything.
She actually read so much information from Meng Ziyi's eyes in the crowd? ——
The fourth update today, 16, 00 completed.
A new month has begun! Seven consecutive days of double monthly tickets!
Brothers, if you can give them to me early, just give them; one counts as two.
Little Hippo really needs the exposure of the monthly ticket list to rush for ten thousand subscriptions!
Happy New Year!
