Chapter 178: Awakening Dormant Memories (Double Monthly Votes Requested)
On this night of the Bulgari gala, Bai Liang seemed to have a special affinity for champagne.
He really drank quite a lot.
It was just that outside of the gala, the way he drank was a bit too strange.
However, practice makes perfect; a swan neck and champagne are indeed a perfect match.
Oh right, the next day Yanzi told him that champagne brands had actually caught wind of it and reached out, wanting to find Bai Liang for an endorsement—and it wasn't just one brand.
After all, although the star of the show yesterday was Bulgari jewelry, that glass of champagne was indeed exceptionally eye-catching.
It makes sense; when Bai Liang was playing with cars, didn't he lure both Mercedes and Red Bull over?
"Brother Bai, I think it would be great if we just chose Moët or Krug; like Bulgari, they are also top-tier champagne brands under the luxury giant LVMH."
"You can pick that yourself. By the way, for this kind of endorsement, will they send me wine to drink?"
"They probably will. If you're willing to drink it often and post a few Weibo updates along the way, the brands would be more than happy."
"That's great~"
Bai Liang felt the experience last night was quite good; the champagne flowing slowly along the contours of the body was quite a visual treat, to say the least.
Not to mention the other aspects...
It was just a bit troublesome to clean up; he might even have to pay the hotel some cleaning fees.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of that presidential suite last night, the floor in front of the windows, and even the sofa had been quite a mess.
This sort of thing obviously couldn't be done in an RV; the space was too small to really stretch out.
Yanzi guessed what he was talking about, but she pretended not to know.
After all, she had to run over early in the morning to bring clothes to Li Qin. The young lady had followed Bai Liang over yesterday wearing that gala gown; not to mention other clothes, she didn't even have a change of underwear.
Yanzi had to squat outside a shopping mall, waiting for it to open so she could go in and buy a full set to bring over.
Hmm... However, this didn't cause Yanzi to have too many complaints, but she was very curious.
"Brother Bai, can I ask a question?"
"Go ahead~"
"That... is Li Qin the body double for Li Yitong, or is it the other way around?"
Pfft!
Body double literature is here?
Bai Liang was amused, "Why would you think that?"
"I'm guessing, because Li Yitong is Meng Jie's best friend. Even if you like that type, Brother Bai, you can't really do anything, so you just happened to run into a Li Qin who looks a bit like her..."
At first glance, it actually sounds quite reasonable.
But the premise is wrong.
Bai Liang seriously corrected Yanzi's statement and said: "Looking a bit alike doesn't mean I'll treat one as the other. They are both independent individuals with different charms. Body double literature doesn't hold up with me. At most, I use it to tease them for fun. In my eyes, the difference is actually quite huge."
Got it!
Yanzi nodded; this meant he wasn't planning on letting either of them go.
Of course, she understood her Brother Bai quite well now; whether he lets them go actually depends on whether the girl takes the initiative.
If Li Yitong were to behave herself, with Bai Liang's lazy capybara-like habits, there likely wouldn't be anything out of line.
From Meng Jie to Nazha, and then to Reba later on, which one wasn't like that?
However, Bai Liang is indeed quite easy to "topple."
The stamina and physique built up from his usual aerobic and anaerobic exercises are, at certain moments, "fragile" enough that he can't resist a delicate girl.
If he really brought out the combat power he uses against Wu Jing and Huang Jingyu, which girl could even get close to him?
On the way back to Jiaxing, Bai Liang also checked the situation online.
Last night's events were still hanging on the trending searches, and his fans and Wu Mou's fans were still cursing and arguing non-stop.
However, the other side's fans had changed their tactics, starting to bash Bai Liang for having few luxury endorsements and fewer top-tier magazine covers than their "brother."
This behavior is quite common in fan circles—tearing each other apart over data.
Then Bai Liang's fans mocked the other side for having no works, calling him a vase.
This person actually has works; he has filmed some dramas, but in the future, he will completely disappear.
Some artists really have this ability: they leave for half a lifetime, and when they return, they are still nobodies.
But Bai Liang is just afraid that after this guy goes in, he won't be able to return~
"Brother Bai, we definitely suppressed them hard yesterday, but the other side has too many fans. The Weibo comment section is a mess."
"Just curse back. I'll do it!"
"No, no, no. No artist personally enters the fray; it's inappropriate."
"Really, none?" Bai Liang asked, a bit puzzled.
Yanzi nodded vigorously, "Definitely none! Brother Bai, trust me!"
Lin Gengxin: Here I am, brother~
Who says artists can't personally enter the fray to curse? I'll set an example for you!
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter between Bai Liang and Wu Mou.
Although he has a good relationship with Bai Liang, he just happened to collaborate with Wu Mou on a movie, "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back," which is about to be released during the Spring Festival.
But, maybe he was a bit unhappy in his heart... Damn it, my good brother was still playing a supporting role for me after he got famous, and you, a traffic idol who returned from Korea, are trying to suppress me?
So yesterday, he silently reposted Bai Liang's photo from the Bulgari gala and hyped him up a bit.
It's not promoting a rival's movie; this kind of thing is actually quite normal. Who doesn't have some private connections in the industry?
As a result, it drew the ire of Wu Mou's fans.
Your movie with my brother is about to be released, and you're still helping the opponent gain heat and promotion?
A second-billed actor for my brother dares to jump around?!
So his comment section wasn't any better than Bai Liang's.
Thus, Lin Gengxin got angry and started directly bickering with anti-fans on Weibo.
Personally entering the fray!
While Bai Liang was happily drinking champagne yesterday, this guy was bickering with anti-fans or fans from other camps who came to cause trouble all night long.
It was truly all night, high-intensity combat, and it hadn't stopped yet.
At the same time, the heat regarding this matter was constantly rising—after all, no one pays attention to Lin Gengxin bickering with anti-fans in the middle of the night.
And who would have thought he had so much energy to argue with people from night until day! Truly a freak of nature.
When Bai Liang refreshed the trending searches, he found that this matter was about to break into the top ten.
Coincidentally, the trending search for Wu Mou's press conference yesterday was about to fall out of the top ten; these two brothers were about to swap positions.
"Meeting you is like meeting shit!"
"I'll hammer you until even your mother doesn't recognize you."
"Shut up, trash."
"You seem like something that can't be seen in public."
"You look like a hairtail that's been dead for three days."
"..."
Yanzi:...
After seeing this, she fell silent.
She really wanted to say, "This guy Lin Gengxin is a bit abnormal."
But she also felt that her own Brother Bai wasn't exactly normal either.
"Hey, hey, hey~ He tagged me!"
"What is it?"
Bai Liang handed the phone to Yanzi, and she looked at the screen in disbelief.
Lin Gengxin had just updated a Weibo post, directly tagging Bai Liang: "Immortal, I can't hold on anymore. I'm going to sleep for a while. Are you awake yet? Help me turn up the intensity on them!"
"Not awake yet!"
Yanzi covered the phone, but let go two seconds later.
Then she scratched her head; after all, she had never seen a top-tier celebrity with this kind of style.
Can't anyone manage Lin Gengxin? This guy is going to "corrupt" her Brother Bai!
Fortunately, Lin Gengxin still left himself some leeway. That "Are you awake yet?" was actually giving Bai Liang an out.
He could just play dead and later "belatedly" say he had been asleep.
After all, an artist personally entering the fray to bicker with anti-fans is too abstract!
However, that would seem a bit disloyal... Yanzi understood her Brother Bai; not to mention his character, just based on his "hobbies," he was definitely willing to do this.
Look, he was already eager to try.
However, Bai Liang still respected Yanzi's opinion; after all, she is his manager~
But looking at his innocent and expectant little expression, and the way he winked at her, Yanzi found it really hard to refuse!
Closing her eyes, her face full of pain and struggle, she waved her hand, "Brother Bai, do as you see fit~" "Alright!"
Bai Liang stretched his fingers and rubbed his head.
Starting to awaken... dormant memories!
Three lanes blown up, a piano set up, the canyon is better than Vienna.
High ground collapsed, family tree sealed, the fountain is comparable to the Martial Arts World.
Why did Lin Gengxin dare to let Bai Liang turn up the intensity?
It's because he knew how fierce Bai Liang's ability to curse online was and how fast he could type!
Having played games together for so long, he had seen it more than once or twice.
He didn't feel any worship or awe because of Bai Liang's good gaming skills, but when he saw Bai Liang actually take the time to type over a hundred words to bicker with someone in the middle of solo-killing an opponent, he was truly impressed.
He played games badly and never thought about improving, but operating the character's movement while typing to curse at people was just too cool!
Coach, I want to learn this!
Yanzi watched Bai Liang's movements and thought to herself, does one need to warm up before typing to curse?
Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?!
However, when she saw Bai Liang's fingers tapping on the phone screen so fast they were a blur, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
Damn it, calm down! Let's definitely not use dirty words; the influence is very bad.
(This book is updated recently at ##!! update!)
She hurriedly leaned over to "supervise."
"Look at you, you're actually quite human."
"Where were you hiding when humans were evolving, you smarty-pants?"
"I was scared by a dog when I was young, don't bark randomly."
"You speak so nicely, your little mouth is like it's been smeared with enema."
"..."
Cursing without using a single dirty word is Bai Liang's basic code of conduct.
Because he is indeed very well-mannered.
From Shanghai to Jiaxing, this time Bai Liang took a car back to the set.
Along the way, he was fighting under Lin Gengxin's Weibo, completely forgetting that there were actually quite a few such guys under his own Weibo.
What's the use of a home?! The home has been given away!
However, the effect of this move was excellent; those anti-fans and trolls who were active under his Weibo caught the scent and went over to join the battle.
Also because of Bai Liang's direct involvement, the heat of this trending search rose crazily.
It had long since stepped on Wu Mou.
A large number of netizens heard the news and flocked to watch.
And Lin Gengxin, who had hurriedly caught up on some sleep, naturally joined the battle again as soon as he woke up and saw his good brother had joined in.
Damn it, anti-fans, come on!
This online battle event is known in history as: Two Heroes Fight the Crowd.
When the car arrived at the set hotel, Bai Liang hurriedly got into his RV.
Li Yitong, who knew he was back and came specifically to pick him up, and also wanted to complain about the Li Qin matter, was directly and magnificently ignored.
Before she could get angry, Yanzi hurriedly explained the situation.
"Ah? Cursing people online? Really or fake?!"
"Sister Yitong, look at the trending searches yourself. I have a headache too."
Look at the trending searches? No need for that; Li Yitong directly jumped onto Bai Liang's RV, preparing to watch the battle up close.
The more she watched, the wider her eyes grew, especially the clattering keyboard sound; it really felt like playing the piano... To be exaggerated, this typing speed was almost catching up to Lang Lang.
She actually doubted before that Bai Liang couldn't curse?
After watching intently for ten minutes, Bai Liang finally stopped.
Mainly to loosen up his wrists and fingers.
Li Yitong seized the opportunity, "Hmph!"
"Eh? Why are you here?" Bai Liang, who was too immersed, really didn't notice Li Yitong had boarded his RV.
He didn't even know when she had arrived.
This girl is bolder than Li Qin. At that time, when Li Qin fell asleep on Bai Liang's RV, the premise was that there were several people on the car.
It was a "joining the fun" behavior.
But right now, there were only the two of them on the RV.
However, Li Yitong didn't seem to notice anything wrong and continued to argue sophistically:
"I should be asking you that. That Li Qin... Why didn't you take me to the Bulgari gala? Many people thought she was me."
This actually didn't make much sense; such chance encounters had nothing to do with Bai Liang.
He broke all the girl's momentum with one sentence: "Did you receive an invitation letter too?"
"... o."
"See, I didn't send the invitation letter either. I'll take you next time if there's a chance."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm."
Having said that, Bai Liang had already started to be perfunctory because the battle had started again!
However, Li Yitong didn't mind; she just rested her chin on her hand and watched him fight, while gradually becoming infected and excited, even starting to cheer him on.
Social pressure is so high these days; who doesn't want to let loose~
She sometimes wanted to as well!
It's just that as public figures, the words "be cautious in words and actions" are the most important to keep in mind.
Not many people dare to roll up their sleeves and "explode" at anti-fans like Bai Liang and Lin Gengxin.
Oh no, wait, only Lin Gengxin, because Bai Liang was starting the war in his Weibo comments.
He was an external reinforcement.
Netizens were already having a blast. "Good, good, good. Yesterday he was the man of the hour in the circle of fame, and today he's being so down-to-earth with everyone, right?"
Of course, there were also people with ulterior motives who wanted to catch Bai Liang's flaws: for example, using dirty words.
It's a pity, there were none at all.
At most, they could say his mouth was poisonous...
As for what Yanzi was most worried about—losing fans because of this matter... He didn't lose any at all. From the moment he started cursing until now, he had gained hundreds of thousands more fans.
Lin Gengxin's Weibo comment section was a battlefield, while Bai Liang's base camp had already been successfully cleared.
Only his fans were left there having a blast~
The looks-obsessed fans licking the screen, the CP fans watching the drama, the talent-obsessed fans who liked his treasure-like attributes, the civil service exam candidates looking for reference materials... these different fans didn't disturb each other and each had their own fun.
Except for a small portion who were a bit strange... shouting things like, "Brother, curse me! Quick! Curse me a few times!"
Truly too perverted; they could be classified as internet masochists.
"Eh? Why was his account banned?"
Halfway through outputting, Bai Liang suddenly found that Lin Gengxin's Weibo couldn't be commented on.
At this time, Li Yitong reminded him in time, "His studio apologized."
"Really or fake?"
"It got a bit too big. You two have been on the number one trending search for a long time! Yanzi also issued an apology statement, even earlier. You were still cursing people at that time."
Ah, this... we were just about to fight to the death...
But it was indeed about time; Bai Liang hadn't even eaten dinner yet.
However, just at this moment, the "clout chasers" arrived.
Wang Sicong suddenly posted a Weibo, tagging both of them, "Why don't you come here to curse? Count me in."
After Bai Liang went over and replied with a middle-finger emoji, he directly closed the computer and stretched.
His body made a clattering sound; he had been sitting for too long.
But occasionally letting off steam is good for physical and mental health.
He could continue to maintain the capybara mode again~
However, at this moment, Li Yitong felt a little bit strange.
She looked at her phone, her face seemed a bit flushed, and the expression on her face was a bit hesitant.
After noticing Bai Liang looking at her, she impulsively said in a very low voice: "That... can you curse me twice?"
Bai Liang:???
You're not right!
