Chapter 180: This Is the Best Background Music (Double Monthly Votes Requested)
After drinking a cup and a half of milk tea, Bai Liang's time in the gym that evening was "forced" to be extended by more than half an hour.
Just as he returned to his room, Yanzi came over.
The purpose was, of course, to tell him about the work arrangements for the future.
Bai Liang's scenes in "Duckweed" would soon be finished, probably around early December. A few days later, the whole crew would finish filming. For more than a month before the New Year, the movie would need post-production, and then it would be released during the Spring Festival in January.
It can be said that until the release, a part of Bai Liang's energy would have to be put into movie promotion.
This was the most efficient crew he had ever experienced so far, bar none!
Sighing again, Han Han is truly a god-like man.
After finishing filming, besides some movie promotion work to do, there were several endorsement activities waiting for him to handle.
These were all things Yanzi had already negotiated. Even though she was striving for perfection and had very strict conditions for selecting endorsement brands, quite a few were still left over.
After all, that's how top-tier celebrities are. Except for some luxury brands that are still quite arrogant and like to let artists lick them, most endorsements are the other way around, chasing after popular artists. When they encounter someone like Bai Liang, they still have to be picky.
And regardless of whether they are new or old endorsements, they all like to hold some brand activities before the New Year, and he would have to choose to stand on stage at that time.
After all, since he took their money, he had to promote them properly.
"Now I can finally understand a little bit of what it feels like to be a top-tier celebrity," Bai Liang said with a slightly emotional tone.
Yanzi was quite sensitive and hurriedly asked: "Brother Bai, do you think there is too much work?"
"It's okay~ I'm quite relaxed most of the time."
Bai Liang compared it with Reba's schedule and felt that Yanzi was indeed someone who knew how to care for people.
"Yanzi, what would I do without you, Yanzi!"
"Oh, don't do that..."
In an instant, Yanzi was extremely embarrassed. When "I Belonged to You" was released this year, she happened to be organizing a studio team-building event.
The studio had recruited quite a few people this year, and Bai Liang was someone who didn't care about things; Yanzi was the big housekeeper, and she had to be busy with these things.
As luck would have it, when they watched the movie together at the end of the team-building, they chose this one.
When Yue Yunpeng was chasing the taxi on the big screen shouting this line, Yanzi felt so embarrassed that she got goosebumps.
None of the colleagues in the studio could hold it in either.
From that time on, she couldn't listen to this phrase anymore.
Others in the studio certainly didn't dare to mention this in front of her, but Bai Liang didn't care; he loved saying this phrase.
"Let's be serious!"
"Okay!" Bai Liang immediately sat up straight, looking like a good student listening carefully.
"Brother Bai, actually your workload is already very heavy. Those fans online all feel sorry for you."
"Ah? Feel sorry for me?"
The expression on Bai Liang's face was extremely strange. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time he had heard this word.
Someone actually feels sorry for him?
From childhood to adulthood, many friends he knew would break their defense from various angles when facing him.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred.
It was the same after entering the entertainment industry. Lin Gengxin, Huang Jingyu, and the others always felt that Bai Liang was very outrageous... As a result, fans felt sorry for him?
"Do you know how many movies and TV shows you've filmed in the two years since your debut?" Yanzi counted on her fingers, "Four dramas last year, two dramas this year, two movies, almost working all year round!"
"Isn't filming just relaxing... This thing isn't tiring."
"That's because your energy is too abundant!"
Bai Liang said it wasn't tiring, and Yanzi didn't feel he was being humble or pretending at all. After all, for someone who wants to soak in the gym every day when filming and still get up to run in the morning, it's hard to say he's tired from work.
She could only sigh at his innate talent.
Even her own Brother Bai could spare so much time and energy to deal with all kinds of girls...
As for why fans would still feel sorry for their brother... ordinary people can't understand fan matters.
They just feel that Bai Liang is too hard-working.
Besides filming one drama after another, he also has to be "forced" by his manager to exercise and keep fit.
Some of the materials of Bai Liang's daily fitness are actually posted by the studio's Weibo.
Then Yanzi got scolded; fans felt she was too harsh on Bai Liang.
Yanzi:... ometimes I really want to call the police.
"Ahem, let's talk about the most important thing! Next year's drama!"
Bai Liang finally got interested, "Tell me in detail!"
Yanzi: Sure enough, interest is the best motivation.
She had always felt that filming was just her Brother Bai's hobby, and other endorsements, activities, etc., were what he regarded as work.
At this time, Yanzi was radiant because her Brother Bai was truly hot right now.
Unlike before, when he had to take her everywhere to chase this and that, basically relying on young ladies and old babies, and still being picked and chosen by others.
And he is a top-tier celebrity who became famous by filming dramas, which is a bit different from those idols, so the quality or cast of some scripts that came to him proactively were actually quite good.
Yanzi brought quite a few scripts to Bai Liang; of course, this was after she had already screened them once.
However, there were only two that she needed to emphasize this time; Bai Liang could read the others slowly.
"There are big male lead dramas and big female lead dramas, but I judged that the most reliable ones are still the two big female lead scripts. The cast and configuration are a cut above the others, or even more."
The two scripts Yanzi emphasized were one called "The Story of Minglan" and the other called "Ming Dynasty."
She also emphasized, "'The Story of Minglan' is a drama from Daylight Entertainment. This company is famous in the industry for its excellent production and reliability. 'Nirvana in Fire,' 'The Disguiser,' and 'Ode to Joy' are all produced by Daylight Entertainment. Oh right, I heard that the reason they invited you, Brother Bai, to play the male lead is because the female lead was already set as Sister Liying."
Bai Liang naturally understood what she meant, "She recommended me?"
"It should be, but if we want to take it, we still have to audition."
Is this the "return gift" Sister Zhao mentioned?
A gold-lettered signboard of film and television production, a drama from Daylight Entertainment.
However, compared to "The Story of Minglan," Bai Liang was actually more interested in "Ming Dynasty."
Since he became an actor, he had always had a small obsession.
He ran to the set of "God of War Zhao Zilong" specifically to play an emperor, but ended up being "forced" to play Lu Bu.
From then on, playing an emperor became a "root cause of illness" for Bai Liang.
Although he barely touched the edge in "Princess Agents" and "Eternal Love," it was obviously not the same thing as the kind of emperor he wanted to play.
However, Yanzi's view was... both of these dramas are positioned as big female leads. It feels like taking one is enough. There are some projects in the second half of next year that can wait until "Duckweed" is released before talking about them, and put some effort into the movie direction.
And the movie projects that have come to him so far don't look reliable at all.
Anyway, there's no need to make a decision so quickly, especially for "Ming Dynasty." It's still a long way from starting filming, and it's said that the female lead hasn't been set yet; it seems they are talking to some "big shot."
After saying these things and leaving a stack of scripts for Bai Liang, Yanzi slipped away.
Just as Bai Liang was preparing to stay up a little later tonight to see if he could find any interesting scripts, there was a knock on the door.
He thought it was Yanzi who had come back, but when he opened the door and looked...
No one.
Excluding the possibility of seeing a ghost, he directly asked tentatively: "Hmm... Little Kitten?" "How did you know it was me?" Li Yitong, who was squatting next to the door, said with some surprise.
Because Bai Liang didn't poke his head out at all, nor did he look down.
"In this crew, you're the only one who can do this kind of thing~ Why are you looking for me so late?"
Bai Liang saw that she didn't intend to get up while squatting, so he simply squatted down too.
This action seemed to return to the time when they "ate wall peeling together."
Li Yitong subconsciously smiled until her eyes became crescents, "I came to say goodbye to you; I'm leaving."
"Leaving? You're leaving now? In the middle of the night..."
"I'm leaving tomorrow morning; I'm afraid I won't have time then."
"Then I wish you a smooth journey."
"That's it?"
(This book is updated recently at ##!! update!)
"Peace and safety, wishing you prosperity?" Bai Liang added two more auspicious phrases.
However, Li Yitong was still not very satisfied, "Are you just going to let me squat at the door like this? Not let me in to talk?"
Bai Liang paused for a second, looked at her, and then nodded, "Okay."
Then he stood up first, handed his hand to her, and pulled her up.
After entering the door, Li Yitong gently covered the door, pressing the handle to make it close without any sound.
This set of actions was like a thief.
But it also fit her persona.
From the time Bai Liang met her, she often did these kinds of thief-like operations, sneaky and secretive.
Perhaps it's like a little kitten walking without sound.
After entering Bai Liang's room, Li Yitong, who had just been pitifully saying she came to say goodbye, instantly perked up.
Carrying her little hands behind her back, she wandered around his room and said with a look of surprise: "It's very tidy! They all say some boys are quite sloppy..."
Bai Liang looked at her speechlessly, "We are staying in a hotel; someone cleans it every day. Even if I were really sloppy and liked to throw things around, it wouldn't be that easy for you to see."
"Then how can I see it?"
"This... why don't you ask Meng Jie? She should be able to give you the answer."
This sentence from Bai Liang stunned Li Yitong, and the pleasant little expression on her face instantly dropped quite a bit.
Inner thought:... amn male fox! Are you pointing at me?!
However, this instead aroused a bit of her rebellious mentality.
People, their inner thoughts are always changing.
At the beginning on the set of "Condor Heroes," she was able to get along with Bai Liang with a relatively normal mindset, her head full of "I want to be popular," and she couldn't fit anything else except her career.
It was only the little white bottle of zinc supplement that Bai Liang gave her before finishing filming and leaving that touched her slightly.
Just that little bit, and it was immediately covered up.
However, as time went on and they understood each other more... that stinky girl Meng Jie would add to her understanding in all aspects from time to time.
Later, she met that unreliable crazy girl Jin Cheng, which made her take a big step forward by some stroke of luck.
Later, he encountered Jin Cheng, that unreliable crazy girl, which made her take a big step forward as if by some mysterious force.
After this step was taken, the little ambiguity that was only a little bit was instantly magnified many, many times.
The tools of the crime had been touched by her; how could she still be clean?
Li Yitong actually went through it in her head before coming, and finally determined: This bastard Bai Liang is definitely a male fox!
The nickname she gave him was not wrong at all.
But some rivers seem to be blocked on the necessary path of life, making people have to step in and feel the depth...
"Why would I ask her this? Didn't you two break up?" Li Yitong said deliberately.
Hearing this, Bai Liang was sure, and decided to take the initiative to poke the window paper; otherwise, letting the girl keep performing would be a bit awkward.
"Why, do you want to try? Coming to find me so late at night... Autumn is here, do you want to fall in love?"
This made Li Yitong take a deep breath, her face flushed, and it took several seconds for her to recover. She complained in a resentful tone: "... hy are you so direct all of a sudden?!"
Bai Liang leaned on the sofa with the script, smiling peacefully: "I see you're performing quite tiredly—buying me milk tea, hinting with words, saying goodbye late at night, and checking if I'm sloppy... I might as well help you out. Otherwise, who knows how long you'd be dawdling~ It's already past ten o'clock. If a girl sleeps too late, it's not good for her skin."
"When you were like that with Meng Jie, were you like this too?"
"I can't say that; it's her privacy."
Although he didn't say it, Bai Liang actually complained in his heart: Meng Jie is much bolder than you~
She enters Bai Liang's room as if she were returning home.
It's so natural.
However, Li Yitong understood the meaning in another aspect.
She took the initiative to sit beside Bai Liang and leaned close to him, asking in a low voice: "Then you won't tell others about our business either."
Bai Liang put down the script and looked at her steadily, "For example?"
Li Yitong: For example, ah ah ah! I don't know!
She regretted it as soon as she entered the door, but after hearing Bai Liang's words just now, she didn't seem to regret it anymore.
It's just very annoying.
However, just at this moment, some... strange sounds suddenly came from outside the window.
It just so happened that neither of them was speaking, so although the sound was not loud, it was exceptionally clear.
Li Yitong didn't react at first, just hearing someone pinching their throat and shouting "husband."
But after the other few words, such as "faster" and some modal particles... how could she not know what this sound was!
Bai Liang, who heard this movement, was also a bit embarrassed, and slapped his own head, "That... they are making babies next door."
"Thank you for reminding me... Who is it?"
Li Yitong was originally a bit shy and speechless, but she couldn't help but be curious.
"In our crew, who else could it be?"
"Dong Zijian and Sun Yi? Is this place really not soundproof?"
Actually, the hotel's soundproofing effect is quite good, but both rooms have windows open; no matter how good the soundproofing is, it's useless.
Bai Liang was rarely a little bit ashamed; after all, his own behavior of opening the window seemed a bit indefensible.
Listening to people's wall roots, he's quite bad!
But honestly, who can resist not listening~
He almost treated this as a reserved program every night, silently cheering for the little brother next door every time.
Li Yitong: Heh, men!
She was seeing Bai Liang's slightly embarrassed look for the first time. Before, this guy was always gentle, or saying some flirtatious words badly~
Now this look gave her a sense of relief.
You have today too~
Alright, we're even.
She didn't speak again, but when Bai Liang wanted to get up to close the window, she silently held him back.
Don't close it; I like listening.
This is the best background music.
