Chapter 197: Is Your Bite Already Not Working?

"Brother Xiaobai~ Did you have fun?"

"It was pretty good, I earned money while playing; being a star is really a happy profession."

Hearing this, Yanzi scratched her head; she still wanted to ask if this show had any drama like the previous season.

But since her Brother Xiaobai said so, it should be quite warm and harmonious.

Of course, she would definitely follow up on the post-production editing later.

At least before the finished film airs, she had to watch it several times.

"Do you want to rest for two more days? People are usually quite tired after traveling."

"I'm fine, I've been resting for twenty days."

Bai Liang really didn't feel any fatigue; during the time he was recording the show, he basically didn't have any chance to exercise.

That little energy consumption wasn't too much, so he was still full of energy at this moment.

Yanzi seemed to know he would say that, and started arranging... the work content starting tomorrow.

Those advertisements, magazine shoots, etc., go without saying; the main focus was still movie and TV projects.

Yanzi is a very reliable agent. During the time Bai Liang was "out playing," she had been in contact with various production parties.

No choice, this year Bai Liang didn't even have a single male lead drama!

What do you call this? This is called a gap period!

Except for "Duckweed" during the Spring Festival, which could be considered a dual-male lead movie, but that was at the beginning of the year, and the influence couldn't be maintained for too long.

This point is actually her being overly sensitive; a male lead movie with 1. billion box office brings huge bonuses to Bai Liang.

At least in the film field, it works for at least two years, and that's with Deng Chao pressing on top.

But Yanzi, as an agent, naturally has to consider more.

This year, including "Eternal Love" which is still airing, "Princess Agents" which will be aired later, and "Wolf Warrior 2" which will be released around August.

In these projects, her Brother Xiaobai is all the second male lead.

She urgently needs to help Bai Liang take on a few more reliable male lead projects.

Let's put it this way, if the female lead of "The Story of Minglan" wasn't Zhao Liying, Yanzi would have wanted to push this big female lead drama away.

After all, Little Sister Zhao has a friendship, and she isn't easy to bring her own screenwriter into the group to change the big female lead drama into a big male lead one for Bai Liang.

That's right, Bai Liang now really has the qualifications to mess around like this.

Even someone of Little Sister Zhao's status could pk a bit.

But the premise of this matter doesn't hold.

How could Bai Liang tear apart the scenes with Little Sister Zhao? The two of them have such a good relationship...

In the end, Yanzi could only give up her quite "bold" idea and turned her aim to the "Ming Dynasty" drama.

The filming of this drama starts much later, and it can be torn.

The production party is quite sincere, but Yanzi hasn't let go after getting the script.

The main reason is that her Brother Xiaobai told her after reading it that some scenes were magically changed a bit too outrageously.

Maybe to highlight Sun Ruowei, this demon queen, some plots don't follow history at all.

At that time, Bai Liang casually complained: "This drama feels like it's going to be sprayed by Ming fans..."

He actually quite liked the first half of the script, but the second half was a bit outrageous.

Yanzi seized this point and went back and forth with the drama party.

The goal is only one: to get that damn Sun Ruowei off the big female lead position.

Anyway, it's a "seller's market" now, and there's plenty of time, so Yanzi isn't in a hurry at all.

Aside from this, she put the focus of finding projects on movies... this one needs to be even more cautious.

There are quite a few movies coming to him with Bai Liang's so-called "self-contained 500 million box office" title, and Yanzi has to try her best to pick out some relatively good ones from that pile of "dog shit."

Among them, there is a movie project that "stood out," and they are very anxious, anxious to start filming.

"How Long Will I Love U?"

Bai Liang scratched his chin; he wasn't unfamiliar with this name.

"Yeah, the director is Su Lun, who was the executive director of 'Lost in Hong Kong' before; he can be considered a newcomer in the circle, but the producer of this movie is Xu Zheng."

Aiming at Xu Zheng's name, Yanzi indicated that she was willing to give a newcomer director a chance.

The plot of "How Long Will I Love U" is easy to summarize.

It tells the story of Gu Xiaojiao, a frustrated young woman from 2018, and Lu Ming, a frustrated young man from 1999, who accidentally live in the same room due to space-time overlap, thus triggering a series of funny, bitter, and sweet love stories.

"Who is the female lead? Tong Liya?" Bai Liang asked based on his memory.

He thought to himself, am I going to run into a third famous Xinjiang beauty? But this one is already married...

"No, Director Xu Zheng contacted me personally, saying the female lead is Jing Tian."

Yanzi's tone was a bit strange; after all, the title of "Jing Tian who can't be made popular" is quite well-known in the circle.

When she first heard this name, she shivered and subconsciously prepared to reject this thing.

This sister has "brilliant achievements" in the circle; from the beginning of her debut, she was on the path of a human rich flower, blinding everyone's eyes.

Even if you only look at it from the year Bai Liang debuted, she acted in Old Zhang's "The Great Wall" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Kong: Skull Island."

Last year it was "Pacific Rim: Uprising."

If it weren't for "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" that just aired a while ago, allowing this "Jing Tian who can't be made popular" to finally stand up, and her reputation improved a lot, Yanzi would really be prepared to reject this movie without thinking.

Bai Liang: Huh? Why is it Jing Tian? Memory confusion?

He was a bit puzzled, so he didn't prepare to continue thinking.

Super brain reminded him: No need~

However, he felt he could make contact; he didn't dislike Jing Tian's metaphysical nickname like "Jing Tian who can't be made popular."

No one can play metaphysics in front of him.

He even felt it was quite interesting; really, filming a movie is destined to flop? He doesn't believe it!

Oh right, this one is also a well-known rich woman in the entertainment industry!

Bai Liang put forward a bold idea: "Yanzi, do you think she might be coming specifically for me?"

Yanzi: "Huh?"

Her first reaction wasn't that her Brother Xiaobai was narcissistic, but rather... it makes sense!

Xu Zheng is from Shanghai. Although some regional blackening on the internet isn't very appropriate, there are indeed some relatively stereotypical things about this person.

The male lead of "How Long Will I Love U" was originally intended to find Liu Haoran.

However, due to various reasons, it didn't succeed.

At this time, Xu Zheng proposed to find Lei Jiayin, who had become popular, but before the invitation was sent, Bai Liang's fame "exploded" in the film circle.

What do you call "self-contained 500 million box office"?! (Tactical backward lean)

Xu Zheng targeted him almost immediately, but... top-tier is too expensive! He was a bit reluctant to spend that money.

Spending little money to do big things is one of his principles.

And if the male lead found Bai Liang, the grade of the female lead definitely couldn't be too bad, otherwise people wouldn't take it either.

Under such circumstances, Xu Zheng played a flashy operation... Jing Tian appeared like this.

After hearing that the male lead of this drama was Bai Liang, Jing Tian, who had just left her loyal film circle and "lowered her status" to film TV dramas, immediately saw the hope of killing her way back.

Top-tier, acting highly praised, excellent passerby popularity... a series of positive buffs, and behind it hung a huge title of "1. billion box office male lead."

Is there any better "thigh" than this?

Jing Tian immediately indicated: If the male lead is Bai Liang, she is willing to lower her salary to appear.

The current artist salary and announcement fees have skyrocketed, and many artists have gone to variety shows to make money. At this time, someone who can shout "lower salary" is really... anxious.

Jing Tian, who walked to today with the posture of a purple star in the entertainment industry, really couldn't receive any better projects.

As a result, Xu Zheng almost white-picked a movie female lead with great fame but a bit of a debuff, and then wanted to turn around and fool Bai Liang's side.

We have a first-line female star, Jing Tian, as the female lead! Buddy, come quickly~

Typical two-way fooling.

Oh right, he also didn't want to pay enough salary, wanting to pay part of the salary while converting the rest into investment... this ability to play with empty gloves and white wolves is comparable to Wu Jing.

After a round of speculation, Yanzi also came to such a conclusion.

Damn, why are people in the film circle so bad?!

Xu Zheng: Inspiration came from Wu Jing.

Who let that guy have a big mouth, telling everyone that Bai Liang is righteous and so on.

Immediately, someone treated Bai Liang as a "big sucker," thinking of using the same method to "fool" him.

Regarding this, Yanzi, who had been reminded by Bai Liang, had only two words: "Add money!"

She directly shouted a top-tier external quotation, which is generally used to fool laymen; whoever believes it gets fooled.

After all, sometimes there will indeed be some laymen who think that the star's announcement fee is really that high.

But those who know the industry know that the price can be negotiated to a suitable degree.

It's a bit like the antique market; laymen come in and pay tuition first. While Yanzi was going to talk to Xu Zheng, Bai Liang, after running two announcements, also took time to try on makeup at the "The Story of Minglan" project.

It can actually be considered an audition; for this project, as long as his ancient costume look isn't discordant and can wear out the effect, he can sign the contract soon.

Little Sister Zhao even came over personally, seemingly wanting to give Bai Liang some guidance.

"Is it okay? You have to act more mature in this drama."

Although she said so, Little Sister Zhao clearly felt that he must be okay; there was no worry in her eyes.

"How mature?"

"In the novel, Gu Tingye is ten years older than Minglan."

Bai Liang felt there was no problem; Little Sister Zhao's little round face has quite a strong deceptiveness in terms of age.

She acts like she's younger without any discordance; similarly, Bai Liang wants to act more mature, and he can also handle it.

"Quite interesting, outside the drama I am five years younger than you, inside the drama I am ten years older than you; this back and forth is a difference of fifteen years."

!. ead

"I always feel like you kid are teasing me... wait, I am six years older than you, right?"

"I was born in February, it doesn't matter if I say five years, isn't this to reduce the sense of distance," Bai Liang said casually.

"Sharp-tongued~"

Sharp-tongued outside the drama, but once he entered the drama, Bai Liang immediately made people feel that sense of maturity.

This made the group of people from Zhengwu Sunshine marvel a bit; maybe they didn't expect that there really were such capable people among the current little fresh meat.

Little Sister Zhao was visibly a bit proud, as if saying: The person I recommended definitely has no problem!

"Hey, are we going to be in our third collaboration?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"You just realized?"

"Three collaborations and no scandals, does it mean we have no CP feeling?"

This sentence almost made Little Sister Zhao's CPU burn out.

Is... is that so?

Not right! Clearly, the pairing of the two in "Duckweed" was quite well-received; she had read the comments, and netizens all said there was no discordance, they were quite a match...

"The TV drama hasn't aired yet, and the movie duration is only so long, everyone's attention won't be on the male-female CP..."

Normally, Little Sister Zhao should be scolding, but she explained it this time.

But she quickly skipped this topic and suddenly said: "I heard you are going to collaborate on a movie with Jing Tian?"

"Ah? Who did you hear that from?"

"Don't worry about it, just gossip, is it true?"

"Still talking, I don't know either, this has to be asked to Yanzi."

Just talking about Yanzi, she called: "Brother Xiaobai, you were photographed by the media when you went for an audition today."

"Is that so? It shouldn't matter, right?"

"It doesn't matter... but Director Xu Zheng is also in Yanjing, he said he wants to have a meal with you and chat, and Ms. Jing Tian."

Bai Liang looked at Little Sister Zhao: "Then you ask him if I can bring a friend?"

"Who?" Yanzi asked first.

"Zhao Liying."

This way of calling her by her full name made Little Sister Zhao roll her eyes, but given that Bai Liang was on the phone, she didn't bother with him.

Yanzi on the other end of the phone almost laughed out loud; bringing Zhao Liying over? It inexplicably felt like giving someone a show of force.

She quickly brought a new reply: Yes~

"Sister, you weren't curious just now, I'll take you to the scene to see, eat melon up close."

Little Sister Zhao spread her hands: "I wasn't curious to that extent, you were supposed to treat me to dinner today, but it ended up being someone else paying... it's quite hard to get a meal out of you~"

"I can also go and pay the money," Bai Liang said very honestly.

"Forget it, with that Jing Tian there, you still want to pay? Doesn't exist."

"Is she really that rich?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"Anyway, everyone says so... heard the person is not bad... hmm?"

Little Sister Zhao's eyes suddenly became a bit dangerous, seemingly considering Bai Liang's purpose for asking this.

Stinky kid, is your bite already not working?

Bai Liang scratched his head: *Heh*, professional habit~ ——

Jing Tian has indeed left many legends in the entertainment industry. People have been curious for too long about this mysterious but resource-rich female star.

It can be said to be a special existence in the entertainment industry, with resource advantages that no one can compare to, and she can cooperate with first-line big names as soon as she debuts.

The topics surrounding her were almost all about background, hard backing, poor acting...

Walking all the way, no interesting material was dug out, but she waited for the "descent" of the purple star.

Jing Tian actually went to film TV dramas; this sounds strange.

As a result, it was precisely because of the TV drama that her reputation, which always made the audience judge her as bad as soon as they saw her, improved a lot.

Not long ago, she also live-streamed washing her face and removing makeup, which gained a wave of fans because of this.

When Bai Liang saw the trending search, he even incited Nazha to follow suit, but Nazha's eyes were full of Dilireba, and she didn't listen.

And seeing this purple star among the 85 flowers for the first time, Bai Liang only felt... she looked quite cute.

Her face had no aggressiveness, and when her eyes widened, she looked like a sad frog...

Quite funny.

"Hello~ I'm Bai Liang."

"Hello..." Jing Tian looked at Bai Liang curiously, looking very fast, and immediately shrank her eyes back.

I don't know why, but Bai Liang actually felt that the other party seemed a bit afraid of him.

This feeling came too strangely, and even a bit inexplicable.

So he subconsciously looked at Little Sister Zhao, who also had a strange expression when she first met him.

Of course, she definitely wasn't afraid; she had an opinion about Bai Liang at that time.

Little Sister Zhao glared at him: What are you looking at? I'll gouge your eyeballs out.

Hmm, now it's completely different from the beginning.

"Come, come, come, let's order first~"

After a simple greeting, Xu Zheng enthusiastically handed the menu to Bai Liang.

This style of his immediately made Bai Liang decide to transfer the title of "the funniest person on the scene" to him.

That big bald head was indeed shiny! Combined with Xu Zheng's slightly commercial smile, it was too funny.

Although he was very good at ordering, Bai Liang handed the menu to the two ladies.

Little Sister Zhao wasn't polite either; she was here to eat and watch the fun today, just eat.

Studying the menu of this high-end private restaurant with Jing Tian, she was too lazy to look at Bai Liang and Xu Zheng.

After that, it was normal politeness, blowing each other, and then slowly entering the topic.

Xu Zheng didn't pretend anymore, chatting with Bai Liang about the movie at the dinner table, and blew a few cows, indicating that if Bai Liang joined, this movie could easily reach the 1 billion level...

Jing Tian's eyes widened a lot: So he hasn't joined yet?!

Of course, she hadn't signed the contract either; after all, there was a team to check, and it was impossible to sign immediately after being fooled.

But she considered herself to have joined this project, so she was a bit anxious in her heart.

Little Sister Zhao glanced at her, feeling a bit of "stupid" breath.

She, who came from the grassroots, was clearly not on the same path as a purple star like Jing Tian.

However~ now the other party was going downhill, but she was going higher and higher... *Ahe*, so cool!

While secretly happy, her face was naturally calm, and she even greeted people to order~

However, Jing Tian had no heart to order, just pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between these two.

Bai Liang chatted with Xu Zheng while comparing the ways he and Wu Jing "fooled" people.

Hmm... Xu Zheng's eloquence was better, and what he said was a set of things.

And Wu Jing's was more wild, one sentence: It's all in the wine.

There wasn't much difference between the two ways, and neither could be considered a succubus.

It's just that one took the interest route, and the other took the emotional route.

As for the effect... it actually couldn't be reflected in Bai Liang.

Because he was prepared to agree before these two started "fooling."

Anyway, the specific price still had to be negotiated by Yanzi; he generally didn't intervene in this thing.

After that, it was purely watching the "performance."

Bai Liang was actually looking forward to it, when a truly powerful "succubus director" would appear to fool him properly.

At this moment, a certain director surnamed Guo suddenly received bad news: The male lead ran away! ——
