Chapter 199

"How about you just tell my manager directly~"

Bai Liang very simply handed the phone to Jing Tian's manager, indicating that the two of them should chat privately.

The other party: Just what I wanted!

She really couldn't see anything on Bai Liang's face; after all, who can figure out a capybara?

She just felt that this Bai Liang should be quite easy to get along with, and he hadn't been impatient at all the whole time.

Taking Bai Liang's phone, she didn't walk too far, but she sensibly moved to the side.

She even took the assistant and others away, as if to clear a "world for two" for Bai Liang and Jing Tian.

Now Jing Tian was suddenly a bit awkward, pretending to lower her head to drink coffee, and secretly glanced at Bai Liang.

As a result, Bai Liang naturally smiled at her.

This smile had the opposite effect, and the other party lowered her head even deeper.

What's wrong, social anxiety?

Bai Liang scratched his head and didn't force himself to talk to her at this time; sitting quietly together was also quite nice.

So he started to space out~

However, after he entered this mode, Jing Tian instead started to observe him secretly.

Her courage grew much larger!

At this moment, Bai Liang, who had entered capybara mode, made Big Tian-Tian feel quite good—don't talk, don't laugh, just stay there blankly...

Judging by the situation, the two of them were going to collaborate on two dramas, so they would have to understand each other more.

Hmm... they were playing a couple in both dramas.

Unknowingly, she also started to space out, her mind wandering.

The manager, who was chatting away with Yan Zi, inadvertently glanced at the two of them and almost laughed out loud.

The scene was a bit funny.

Like strangers with nothing to say, but also seemingly with some strange tacit understanding.

But she associated a lot; sure enough, the rumors in the industry were indeed somewhat reasonable.

Everyone said that Bai Liang's acting skills were unrivaled among the younger generation; even if it wasn't that exaggerated, he was a leader among them.

This ability to inexplicably make people around him empathize with his emotions could be seen as a glimpse.

He could even move their Big Tian-Tian!

After finishing the collaboration talk with Yan Zi, Jing Tian's manager walked over to them, "Mr. Bai, happy collaboration."

"You guys finished talking?"

"Yes, looking forward to your collaboration with our Tian-Tian later. You guys should be able to get along quite well; please take care of her then."

"Uh... she's older than me..." Bai Liang said somewhat rigorously.

"Eh? That's right!" Jing Tian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "Right, I'm four or five years older than you."

Bai Liang nodded, just a bit strange—why did she suddenly become visibly happy?

So he looked at her manager seriously and agreed to the other party's request: "Okay, I will."

Jing Tian:???

What does that mean?!

Angry.

However, Bai Liang was temporarily unable to attend to Jing Tian's strange emotional changes; he had another phone call coming in at this moment.

Looking at the caller ID, Bai Liang was stunned and answered.

"Um, Mr. Bai, I'm Sun Qiang. Do you still remember me?"

"Of course I remember, Director Sun. What's wrong? If you've been kidnapped, cough once."

"Ah? No, how could I be kidnapped?"

"Then why are you talking so strangely..." Bai Liang wondered if this big brother had been kidnapped to a scam park.

Calling him Mr. Bai and using honorifics—it sounded strange.

"Strange?" Sun Qiang was also a bit puzzled; he was being quite polite and respectful.

However, he suddenly paused and tried calling out: "Xiao Bai?"

"That's a bit more normal. Director Sun, is there something wrong?"

Just a form of address, but it inexplicably made Sun Qiang on the other side feel a bit sour in his nose. Damn it, this little brother is indeed a good person!

Coincidentally, Bai Liang's main impression of Sun Qiang was: This big brother is a good person~

However, regarding how to open the conversation with Bai Liang and invite him to participate in the movie "The Wandering Earth," Sun Qiang was still a bit lost.

Feeling that the atmosphere was so good now, if he just said it directly, would it be too difficult for him?

As a result, he made Bai Liang misunderstand again; hearing him stammer and stutter, he thought this big brother had encountered some difficulty.

"Send me your card number."

"Eh?"

"How much are you short?" Bai Liang thought to himself that every family has its own troubles; with Sun Qiang's tone, it sounded too much like he was borrowing money, so he shouldn't make things difficult for him—it was better to be straightforward.

As a result, Sun Qiang said confusedly: "Short by several tens of millions... Wait, I'm not here to borrow money from you!"

"Ah? You're not?"

"Really not!"

Sun Qiang didn't know what to say anymore. Bai Liang was not only as polite to him as he was back on "God of War Zhao Zilong," but now he was even willing to lend him money. Honestly, if the two were face-to-face, he would have the urge to kowtow.

Since the atmosphere had been built up to this point, there was nothing to hide.

So Sun Qiang said the purpose of his call in one breath.

After briefly introducing the situation of "The Wandering Earth," he even added: "Actually, I'm just asking for a favor. The prospects for this movie don't look very good right now. Director Guo Fan is a capable person, but the soil for sci-fi films in the country is what it is. If you're in a difficult position, I'll help you decline it."

Bai Liang: I haven't even said anything yet.

The invitation was sent by Brother Sun Qiang, and as a result, the other party even helped him find a reason to refuse.

Does Guo Fan know he's doing this?

"The Wandering Earth"~

The reputation of this thing, to some extent, was no weaker than Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2," and it was even fiercer in its pioneering nature, with a bigger name.

However, Bai Liang's interest in this movie was actually not as great as his interest in its director.

Guo Fan, the cyber-succubus?

Is it really that magical?

Sun Qiang: "There's no need to rush the answer to this. However, Director Guo Fan wants to meet and talk to you in person after he finishes the work at hand... He is an idealist, quite different from other directors in the industry."

"Okay."

"If it's really difficult... Ah? What did you say?"

"I said okay. But if you want me to join the crew recently, I definitely can't. I'll likely be filming a movie at the end of the month, then I have to join a TV drama crew, and only after that will I have a gap."

Bai Liang briefly told Sun Qiang about his possible schedule arrangements later.

The "How Long Will I Love U" project would start relatively quickly, and after that would be the filming of "The Story of Minglan."

Between that and the scheduled start time of "Ming Dynasty," there was indeed a relatively long gap.

Sun Qiang: Isn't this just perfect!

Is it really such a coincidence?!

After this call, Sun Qiang rushed to find Guo Fan, who was currently staring at the blueprints of the planetary engine, not knowing what he was studying.

"How was it, did he refuse you?" Guo Fan guessed the more likely answer when he saw Sun Qiang.

Sun Qiang shook his head, beaming with joy: "Director Guo, I think there's a chance!"

"... s he really that easy to fool?!" Guo Fan said, feeling it was unbelievable.

A top-tier celebrity~

It wasn't that he was belittling himself; Guo Fan knew better than anyone what kind of movie he was making.

But others didn't believe it!

"I'm really starting to get interested in him now!"

"Director Guo, stop bragging! Hurry up and go see my Brother Liang."

"Brother Liang? You damn... smoke, smoke."

He wasn't in a rush to meet; Guo Fan felt that if Bai Liang was a person who valued old friendships and loyalty, he couldn't waste Sun Qiang's favor.

He must be fully prepared before going.

He was still quite confident about this point—coaxing, right~

Moreover, he believed that the brilliance of idealism could make everyone with romantic factors empathize.

The goal is the sea of stars; for him, it's not just a slogan.

"You're quite generous."

On the other side, after Bai Liang hung up the phone, Miss Jing Tian gave him her "like."

Lending money~ A person willing to lend money to others is likely a good person!

This was one of Jing Tian's own internal criteria for judgment.

Favorability up up!

"Ah?"

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call..." she quickly explained.

"It's okay, it's not like it's anything very private."

"Oh... then see you on set."

Brainless, strange.

But she was quite easy to make happy.

Bai Liang couldn't help but compare her with Nazha; hmm... Nazha was indeed stupider.

Jing Tian didn't look very smart at first glance, and listening to her talk, it felt like she had a bit of that flavor, but she was essentially different from a fool. At most, she was just a bit naive.

If she were in her early twenties, she might really be able to PK with Nazha to see whose brain was emptier...

Meng Meng actually had an advantage in this regard.

By the way, this coffee was still paid for by Jing Tian.

Bai Liang really hadn't had a chance to pay today.

It wasn't that this situation hadn't happened before, but he really hadn't "fleeced" the same person like this.

When they join the crew and start filming later, won't this young lady contract all his various expenses?

It feels very likely!

Because Bai Liang was always a generous type on set; while spending money freely, he wouldn't forget to let others around him enjoy themselves too.

Just for various fruits, he would buy them in piles and then distribute them to everyone.

Jing Tian is also generous—should they PK later? ——

"Sister, we're going to record 'Keep Running' again tomorrow, get some rest early today."

"Oh..." Dilireba responded to her assistant. Indeed, recording a show like "Keep Running" was mostly quite physically demanding.

If you don't rest well, you won't have energy during the recording, and the show's effect will be very poor.

【System note: No errors in content, keep reading!】

"By the way, will there be any guests this episode?"

"Yes, sister."

After asking this, Dilireba went quiet again.

This made her assistant anxious, "Sister, are you trying to ask if Little Bai-ge will come?"

"Uh... you're guessing blindly. Isn't it that I asked if he's there?"

"I don't know." Assistant Lingling spread her hands, looking innocent.

Reba couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Lingling, you've learned to be bad..."

"I learned it from Little Bai-ge, and there's this action too, does it look like it?" Lingling repeated the little bear hand-spread, directly making Reba laugh.

Can't take it anymore!

So she picked up her phone and, under Lingling's speechless gaze, started a "bombardment" of sixty-second voice messages to Bai Liang.

After sending three in a row, looking at her little assistant's strange gaze, Reba was also a bit embarrassed, "Is it not good for me to do this?"

"I really don't want to listen to sixty-second voice messages usually. Will Little Bai-ge listen?"

"He will." A smile couldn't help but rise on Reba's face.

"How do you know?"

"You can tell from his replies; he won't be perfunctory with me."

Damn it!

Lingling felt that when Reba said this, her face seemed to glow with a sense of conviction, and her eyes were sparkling.

Does he really listen to them every time?

Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps; why be so sentimental?

She was just a small assistant; was it appropriate to be force-fed dog food like this?

However, since they were talking about "Keep Running," the next topic would be something less pleasant.

For example, the CP of Reba and Lu Han.

Since the beginning of this season of "Keep Running," the traffic and discussion it brought had remained high.

Mainly because of this brand-new CP.

During the time Bai Liang went to Africa to run wild, many Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei CP fans ran under his Weibo to remind him: Your house is being stolen!

Angelababy went to have a baby, and Lu Han was the only "single" male guest on the show; he and Dilireba naturally took on the unfinished great cause of the "Friday Couple" CP.

Thus, the "Land Couple" was officially online.

There were indeed many people shipping them, because both of them had high traffic, and the combined popularity was naturally red-hot.

Plus, the "Keep Running" production team was indeed very good at creating content.

No matter where Dilireba looked, the next shot would definitely cut to Lu Han's face.

These two could even manage not to look at each other at all on the show and still be full of CP vibes.

It was as if the production team was "exchanging glances" for them the entire episode.

It's just that this CP was being hyped in a bloody storm.

The reason was simple: it was too popular, too popular, it was just too popular.

There were too many eyes on them; the fan base was too huge, so there were too many voices; the water in the entertainment industry was too deep, so there were too many conspiracy theories.

With so many tongues battling in the flammable zone of the CP, if it weren't chaotic, it would be a disservice to the population participating in the discussion.

Oh right, last year's entertainment industry CP war was actually caused by this guy Bai Liang; they were also fighting fiercely at that time.

But at that time, it was mainly because the female CP fans were unconvinced by each other, and Nazha and Reba's respective supporters were crazily pulling hair and "fighting."

This time it was different; it was actually the fans of the male and female sides tearing each other apart!

During this period, a large number of CP fans on Bai Liang's side participated in the chaotic battle.

No way, "Eternal Love" was airing at that time.

Although Bai Liang didn't participate much in the marketing of this show, Jiaxing would help him market it.

The silver-haired Donghua Dijun almost pressed down on the female lead, Yang Mi, in terms of being the face of the show.

That's right, Bai Liang's opponent wasn't even other male characters; he went directly to compare "beauty" with Yang Mi.

In the fans' words, is Zhao Youting even worthy?

This refers only to appearance.

Silver hair, when it appears on someone who can handle it, the bonus is simply too terrifying!

It almost created strange trending search terms like "Outshining Yang Mi and Dilireba."

Lin Gengxin: Right! That's the flavor! The male lead's second-in-command! It's best if he presses the female lead too.

Good brother is indeed not just targeting him alone...

He was the one who most hoped that Bai Liang would send this "suffering" to all other male actors who dared to be his male lead.

He couldn't be the only unlucky one~

Oh right, "Princess Agents" was about to air.

In short, every Friday, when the "Land Couple" trending search appeared on time, it was the beginning of the war.

It was truly earth-shattering!

The "Keep Running" production team was too damn stubborn; they bought trending searches rain or shine—the more intense the argument, the better!

And every time Bai Liang's "Donghua Dijun" made it to the trending search, there was never a shortage of CP fan battles underneath.

Only the CP fans shipping Nazha made weak sounds: If Dilireba doesn't "want" Bai Liang anymore, give him to our Nazha~ They're both top-tier, one for each, it's very fair.

Reba's CP fans: Dream on! We're busy dealing with others, did we forget you bunch of losers?

Fight them all!

Bai Liang hadn't been back from Africa for long and hadn't paid much attention to the previous episodes of "Keep Running," and Yan Zi didn't tell him; after all, it was too murky.

If you start from the fans' perspective, he and Lu Han were indeed pitted against each other.

But in reality, the so-called "conflict" between the two was clearly not as great as the one with Wu Moufan before.

That was a real conflict of interest.

What is this now? Fighting over a partner?

This thing isn't fought over on the internet—it's not like whoever's fans argue and win gets the person.

But the fans seem to really think so.

Jiaxing was also very bad; how could they let go of such a plot? Two men fighting over one woman~

However, just as they started to hype it like this, they were taught a lesson by the fans of Bai Liang and Lu Han: Get lost, don't come near!

The irritable CP fans would tear apart anyone who didn't have eyes and dared to mess around.

Under these circumstances, Bai Liang received an invitation to "Keep Running" and happily agreed.

Haven't seen Reba for a long time, kind of missed her~

He even specifically told the production team: Don't use guns, enter the village quietly.

"Keep Running" production team: Right, that's what we thought too!

It's just that Bai Liang originally thought this time it would just be him going over, chatting with Reba, catching up with Deng Chao, and happily recording a show.

As a result, Li Qin suddenly called, and the first sentence was: "You're participating in this episode of 'Keep Running' too?"

"You're participating too?"

"Yes, shall we promote 'Princess Agents' by the way?"

"Uh... the crew didn't tell me about this."

"You're too popular; they might be afraid you'd refuse. But I think you wouldn't refuse."

"That's true."

However, since Li Qin was participating... Bai Liang also called Sister Zhao.

And was scolded by her.

Sister Zhao said she would have to be crazy to go to such a place, and said Li Qin was really not afraid of death, daring to join in any excitement.

Finally, she didn't forget to tell Bai Liang: If you can, help promote the TV drama~

Only the last sentence was acting cute; the front was very fierce!

Sister Zhao didn't want to wade into these muddy waters, and thinking about it, Lin Gengxin was probably about the same.

This guy was about to be traumatized.

Oh right, and Nazha.

Bai Liang felt that the promotion he did for Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" was enough; if Nazha came to this show again, it would be a bit like rushing into a fire pit.

He himself didn't care.

He had already been through such "dangerous" scenes as the Weibo Night; everything after that was just a breeze.
