Chapter 237

Children always don't understand the adult world.

Even if they are precocious, it's the same.

At the same time, they yearn to grow up...

Just like Zhao Jinmai, who was both sad and happy when watching Uncle Da leave; she seemed to understand a little, but couldn't fully understand.

She is currently in the stage where happy is happy and unhappy is unhappy.

Emotions are all written on her face.

However, for some things, you understand after experiencing them a few more times.

Look, Uncle Da just finished his scenes a few days ago, and she finished hers too.

Now it's your turn~

"Woooooo~"

Facing the crying little girl, Bai Liang's choice is to quickly take a few ugly photos of her first.

The little girl doesn't have a strong sense of expression management yet, and she hasn't fully grown up, so she looks ugly when she cries... but there's a different kind of cuteness.

Wait until she grows up and then take them out to mock her~ these are all dark histories!

After doing bad things, Bai Liang naturally has to be responsible for coaxing the little girl.

No one else can do this job; it has to be him.

"Do you want a gift?"

"... es!"

One move and she's done.

At this age, little girls don't understand separation; she's at most just reluctant.

That sadness is pure, but it's also easily distracted.

What little girl doesn't like receiving gifts?

And Bai Liang didn't fool her; he really prepared it.

After that little crocodile was taken away by Reba, he thought about giving Zhao Jinmai another gift.

Now, using it directly as a farewell gift for finishing her scenes is just right.

Looking at the expectant Zhao Jinmai, Bai Liang didn't keep her in suspense and handed over a small regular octagonal stone.

"What is this? Little sheep?"

"Yes, a beautiful wish, similar to a peace amulet," Bai Liang explains.

He doesn't know if Zhao Jinmai, this post-00s kid, has watched *Jackie Chan Adventures*.

"Brother, you seemed to have given Grandpa Wu one before~" Zhao Jinmai suddenly remembers.

At the same time, her little hand grips the sheep charm ornament tightly, seeming to like it quite a bit.

"Right, his was a horse. A noble horse that can remove all external forces from the body; it's mainly to wish him good health."

"Then what about mine?" Zhao Jinmai asks with some anticipation.

Bai Liang touches her head, "A gentle sheep to help your dreams become reality~"

"A wish?"

"This... it's not impossible." Bai Liang thinks it can indeed be used this way, to give her a boost for her high school entrance exam~

As a result, the little girl says, "Then can I act with Brother again after I grow up?"

Looking at her expectant and slightly nervous look, how could Bai Liang refuse?

"Then you keep this well and come find me when the time comes... it won't do if you lose it."

Hearing this, Zhao Jinmai immediately clutches the sheep charm to her heart with both hands, swearing that she will absolutely not lose it.

Guo Fan, who had been secretly peeking from the side for a long time, gives a thumbs up in his heart: Good guy, it really has become a wish machine.

Although Bai Liang's words sounded like something said casually to coax a child, Guo Fan knows him quite well now.

In a few years, let alone Zhao Jinmai keeping the "token" well, even if she accidentally lost it and came to find Bai Liang, he would probably fulfill this "little wish" of hers.

In fact, how every child star develops after growing up is hard to say.

Some are incredibly popular when they are young, but gradually fade into the crowd after becoming adults.

Although Guo Fan thinks this little girl Zhao Jinmai has quite a bit of spirit, he also can't predict how far she can go on the path of an actor in the future.

But right now... this little girl is too smart and has prepared an "insurance" for herself in advance.

Who is Bai Liang? He is a top-tier star, and in the future, he probably won't stop at being a top-tier star.

Guo Fan has a deep understanding of how "terrifying" this kid is; traffic, strength, looks... he lacks nothing, and his eye for talent is so good it's outrageous, otherwise he wouldn't have been so "discerning" and come to *The Wandering Earth* set~

And in a few years, unless some accident happens, he will only be more popular and definitely won't be worse than he is now.

However, the place where Guo Fan admires Bai Liang most is that he seems to really not care that much about his top-tier status.

When promising the little girl, he didn't consider elements like status, commercial value, etc.

It was just a big brother promising a little sister a wish and being willing to help her realize it.

Romanticism~

Guo Fan: Little brother, you and I are indeed the same kind of person.

The more he thinks about it, the more he feels they are alike, especially when "begging."

Oh right, at the final farewell, Bai Liang didn't forget to give classmate Mai Mai a piece of advice:

Generally, he doesn't like giving people advice, but he feels Zhao Jinmai might really need it.

"Stay away from guys who play hip-hop, at least have more defensive awareness."

Zhao Jinmai doesn't quite understand, but she remembers it.

She nods seriously!

After Bai Liang coaxed Zhao Jinmai away, looking at Guo Fan's grinning face, he couldn't help but say: "Director Guo, still daydreaming? I'm reminding you, the schedule I left for you is only one week."

"Huh?!"

"Huh what, didn't I tell you this long ago."

Guo Fan scratches his head; when filming gets intense, who can keep track of these things?

Especially since he was filming while pondering adding a bit here, adding a bit there, and deleting some things in other places... isn't this time passing very quickly?

In fact, the ground scenes were already finished, and only the space station scenes remained, but this part was the most difficult.

Who told him, Guo Fan, and the others from *The Wandering Earth* to get together and start brainstorming?

Under normal circumstances, when three men get together, an idea king is bound to be born.

And when a large group of men get together, without talking about lewd things or keyboard politics, and with all their attention focused on the movie, the imagination that erupts is really a bit scary.

This led to wanting to try everything.

Anyway, there's money.

Guo Fan started to rack his brains, but obviously, he was racking his brains for the wrong reasons.

One week, under certain circumstances, might not be impossible to turn into a month... he can always think of some special ways.

And he feels he can handle Bai Liang.

However, Bai Liang is indeed "easy to deal with" to a certain extent, as long as you don't have bad intentions toward him.

But Guo Fan can't get past Yanzi.

"Are you crazy?! Brother Xiaobai must report to the *Ming Dynasty* set on time; everyone there is waiting for him! You Guo, just you wait for me!"

Yanzi isn't so polite to Guo Fan now, mainly because they've gotten familiar...

Even if Guo Fan, that shameless guy, started calling her "Sister Yanzi," she wouldn't fall for it.

She even called for backup!

Miss Jing Tian, who got the news, came directly.

Detaining someone? She wants to see who dares to detain someone!

For these last few days, she says she will just sit on *The Wandering Earth* set, and when the time comes, she will take the person away; let's see who dares to stop her?

The reason Jing Tian is so imposing, as if possessed by Assassin Wu Liuqi, is mainly because what Yanzi said was a bit exaggerated.

It was almost enough to make her imagine a plot of Dragon Quest~

She felt it was super exciting, so she came happily, and after arriving, she deliberately pretended to be fierce.

Of course, Jing Tian pretending to be fierce can't bluff anyone, but she is a girl, so what can Guo Fan do to her?

The main thing is that he didn't expect that someone so famous could be so free and just stay on *The Wandering Earth* set without doing anything.

It has a strange, stubborn spirit of a contrarian.

Jing Tian: I'm unpopular right now, do you have an opinion?

Guo Fan really has no way to deal with this type of player.

He wants to fool her, but she says she doesn't understand... a fool beats a master.

Finally, he had no choice but to grit his teeth.

Seven days it is!

Within seven days, take Shucheng!

His life has been like walking on thin ice, and today, even if he has to dog-paddle, he will paddle to the other side.

And don't say, sometimes if you don't force yourself, you don't know that efficiency can be so high...

Everyone who has read books knows the principle of living in worry and dying in comfort.

Bai Liang feels that he fed Guo Fan too much before, and he has lacked a sense of urgency recently. Fortunately, Yanzi's strong attack this time helped him find that feeling, and coupled with Princess Tiantian's strong support, the pressure is directly maxed out.

Women won't reason with him; when the time comes, they will really drag Bai Liang away.

It didn't even take seven days; six days later, Bai Liang successfully finished his scenes!

There is no joy in finishing; all there is is Guo Fan's helpless old face.

"I always feel like I could tinker with it some more..."

"Do you really want to spend all the money? Isn't it better to save some money for post-production and promotion?"

"This part of the budget is definitely reserved, and isn't it said that Brother Liang is very good at creating heat for projects~" Guo Fan looks at Bai Liang expectantly, his expression becoming "thirsty" again, with the word "begging" written all over his face.

"How can I create heat for you? Do a space skydive? It seems someone has really done that before..."

Bai Liang remembers; a few years ago, it seemed an Austrian man jumped from an altitude of 39, 00 meters, with a top speed of 833. miles, breaking the sound barrier.

Obviously, this thing was sponsored by Red Bull.

Red Bull's business abroad is quite explosive, but it's relatively honest domestically... it was also after meeting Bai Liang that these people from Red Bull China started to have the heart to do something big.

【No errors in the first content, read at a glance!】

If Guo Fan really wants to play something so exciting, Bai Liang doesn't mind betting his fate to accompany him; shall we contact Red Bull now?

Guo Fan: Brother, I'm joking...

Seeing the light of interest jumping in Bai Liang's eyes, Guo Fan is truly a bit scared.

Everyone says he, a director who films youth movies, is crazy to do sci-fi.

But now why does he feel that Bai Liang's "illness" is much heavier than his?

No wonder he couldn't see through Bai Liang; it turns out the other party's illness is above his...

Guo Fan is just afraid that his male lead will suddenly die before the first one succeeds and before the second one starts filming.

At the same time, Guo Fan is also afraid that Yanzi will go crazy and kill him...

This little agent girl is very capable; even though Yanzi already thinks *The Wandering Earth* is a very impressive project, it doesn't affect her spraying him whenever she wants, without the slightest hesitation.

In fact, many people have had Guo Fan's worry, but for now, Bai Liang is still jumping around.

His fate is very firm.

With no wonderful promotion method discussed for the time being, everyone decides to order food first.

A wrap party still needs to be held.

With Bai Liang finishing his scenes, the filming work of *The Wandering Earth* can basically be considered over, at most taking a few more days to wrap up and supplement some details.

After that, they will have to invest in post-production work, which is more important in a certain sense.

The bulk and key of this movie are here.

Even if Bai Liang acts like a flower, if the special effects are lagging, it's just carving a flower on shit, useless.

Fortunately, Guo Fan is quite trustworthy in this regard, much more reliable than when he is fooling people and drawing big cakes for them.

But what Guo Fan didn't expect was that he, who is so good at fooling people, would one day be fooled by someone...

When Wu Jing suddenly came over and said he wanted to take Bai Liang to attend the Golden Crane Awards, Guo Fan was stunned.

Huh? Isn't he going to join the set to film?

Yanzi: What does it have to do with you? Don't ask!

Wu Jing: "What's going on? I came at a good time, what's the reason for this meal?"

He wasn't polite either, sat down and took a sip first, then looked at Jing Tian and nodded to greet her, subconsciously thinking this was Jing Tian visiting the set, so the crew was treating her.

As a result, Guo Fan looked bitter: "This is a wrap party~"

"Huh?! It's already finished?"

"Yes, Brother Liang's efficiency is very high."

"Then that's really a coincidence."

Coincidence? This is no coincidence; Yanzi calculated it.

Bai Liang and Wu Jing go to the Golden Crane Awards to get a trophy, and then join the *Ming Dynasty* set; the time is just right.

As for Miss Jing Tian... happy cooperation.

Hearing this, Guo Fan scratches his head, his eyes resentful: "What's good about attending the Golden Crane Awards? Isn't that thing just an attachment to the Tokyo International Film Festival?"

"He can get a Best Newcomer if he goes; he doesn't have any awards right now; if you pull up his resume, it's only the Weibo Night, can you believe it?" Wu Jing can't help but laugh.

He also went to check Bai Liang's Baidu Encyclopedia and found out that in the awards record column, Bai Liang's resume is so clean it makes people laugh.

Speaking of which, his acting is quite good, and many directors have high evaluations of him, but because of the type of movies he films, let alone winning awards, he doesn't even have a proper nomination.

"No TV awards either?!" Guo Fan says incredulously.

Bai Liang spreads his hands: "Indeed none~"

"That shouldn't be... aren't there some messy little awards that you can get just by showing your face?"

Guo Fan has filmed youth movies and has a certain understanding of some things.

There are quite a lot of awards at home and abroad that sound quite intimidating but have almost no gold content, which are very suitable for brushing awards.

Some awards are given as long as you are an artist with some status.

If you are shameless, it's not impossible to brush a bunch, it's just easy to be mocked.

Today's netizens are "bad"; whether you have substance or not, whether you deserve it or not, people will dig it out clearly for you.

In May of this year, Yang Mi went to receive an award for Best Actress in Houston.

What's the use?

Netizens dug out that the backdrop at the awards scene wasn't even pulled flat; oh right, the big screen for the awards was a giant PPT.

Even though our Sister Mi was wearing a printed dress, showing off her fragrant shoulders and collarbones, attending in grand attire, charming and enchanting.

But it couldn't stop other guests nearby from going in jeans.

Some fans simply said: "It's like a promotional activity in our mall."

Some Weibo users also broke the news: 99% of the guests who came were not recognized;

Some netizens also claimed "a micro-movie from their school won an award."

Bai Liang: I didn't know that before either.

Yanzi: I didn't know either.

This is one of the disadvantages of a grassroots team; Yanzi really didn't think about helping Bai Liang get some awards or anything.

She really didn't realize this at first.

Awards are not the absolute standard for judging an actor's achievements, but they represent the film circle's recognition of the actor to a certain extent.

So the question arises, the current mainstream domestic film circle doesn't even want to recognize Wu Jing.

As for Bai Liang, this young man who just emerged, even if his voice is very loud, it's no problem if people don't want to pay attention to him.

So the two happily decided to go do something else first.

Yanzi also feels that her Brother Xiaobai's gap in awards is indeed too big; regardless of whether they have gold content or not, let's achieve a breakthrough from zero to one first.

As for TV dramas... you can look forward to next year's Golden Eagle Awards.

Participating selectively in some others with insufficient gold content can also slightly fill the blank in the awards area.

Wu Jing says next year's Hundred Flowers Awards and Huabiao Awards still have some hope; *Wolf Warrior 2*'s 6. billion box office is right there; even if many people are unhappy looking at it, this thing is right there and can't be bypassed.

The film and television circle can be collectively silent, but *Wolf Warrior 2*'s box office reaching this level is no longer just a simple movie.

To put it bluntly, for some people, this counts as political achievement.

Do they really dare to give him nothing? Nonsense!

By then, I'm afraid they'll have to pinch their noses and put a wreath on Wu Jing.

Just thinking about it is quite exciting; I just like the way some people can't stand him but can't kill him~

Bai Liang himself is indifferent to awards; trophies look quite good as decorations in the studio... it's good to win awards, but it's fine if not.

However, Yanzi tells him: You might not care about awards yourself and don't need awards to prove anything, but the fans really need this thing to tear apart other rivals... Since we want to be a hexagonal warrior, we can't leave too big a flaw.

The words are rough but the meaning is not!

Oh right, this trip to the Golden Crane Awards will also allow meeting some acquaintances.

*Once Upon a Time* and *Wukong* seem to be going to join in the fun too.

In fact, saying it's for winning awards, it's more like selling movies; as a derivative "peripheral" of the Tokyo International Film Festival, the Golden Crane Awards are originally selected from the movies participating in the exhibition.

It's more straightforward to say Bai Liang went to help Wu Jing stand on stage and promote than to say he went to receive an award.

Tsk tsk, Wu Jing actually wants to push *Wolf Warrior 2* overseas?

The Japanese market?

Bai Liang almost died laughing.
