Chapter 245
Many celebrities view writing a book as part of "multi-platform development," creating a synergy with film, television, music, and variety shows.
Most celebrities' motivations are generally just a few: commercial interests, image building, self-expression and commemoration, and public relations demands.
More common are photo books; yeah, traffic stars love doing this the most.
The literary value is extremely low, belonging to the "leek-cutting" behavior, with hollow content but high pricing.
This stuff can't even be called a book; it should be called celebrity merchandise.
It's no different from those magazines with pictures, and perhaps not even as content-rich as those magazines.
The book Shuangzi released using her own name doesn't actually have content that is particularly exquisite or of any literary value.
However, celebrity autobiographies are not considered serious literature to begin with, and the publishing industry mostly positions them as fan-oriented entertainment consumer goods.
The book's binding style is fresh, using handwritten fonts, illustrations, and other design elements, which still fit the aesthetic of young readers.
In summary, it's specifically aimed at cutting leeks from young fans~
And look, our editor-in-chief Xiaoshui from Sina Entertainment is frantically roasting it while reading.
"It's put together like a collection of non-mainstream lyrics."
"It's about the same as the status updates I post on QQ Space."
"And there are damn typos!"
"It's not as exciting or profound as her Weibo posts."
"Could her mentor be Guo Xiaosi?"
"Truly a top student from Alistun Business School!"
"..."
The assistant pouring water nearby couldn't hold it in; their editor-in-chief's tongue was truly venomous today!
Xiaoshui took the water, gulped it down, and continued flipping through "Shuangzi's Book."
However, her eyes soon began to widen.
Because she flipped to the part where Shuangzi wrote about the bittersweet stories of the entertainment industry and the details of her romances.
She actually wrote about her own dating experiences in the book?!
Good, good, good... at least it has a selling point.
Just as Xiaoshui was preparing to highlight some key points, find someone to churn out a few articles to stir up the narrative, and use Shuangzi's romantic experiences to generate some traffic, her eyes widened even further as she read!
Holy crap!
How are you involved in this too?!
Although Shuangzi used anonymity in the book, truth be told, it's actually quite easy to see who is who.
Xiaoshui looked at the descriptions in the book, and a certain capybara seemed to have appeared vividly before her eyes.
With a gentle smile on his face.
Damn it, it's definitely you! She didn't even need to flip to the next page.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiaoshui directly instructed her assistant, "Quick, check where Bai Liang is, and book an exclusive interview with his agent as fast as possible; I'm going myself!"
Since "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Divas Hit the Road 3," Bai Liang had actually been much more "low-key" in the entertainment industry.
Even at that Bazaar Charity Gala, relatively speaking, he didn't cause much of a stir; it was just Yang Mi and Jing Tian's bidding that caused some waves.
But the battle between Reba and Nazha that netizens were discussing actually didn't have much to do with Bai Liang himself; even without him now, the fans of these two girls could still fight until the sky turned dark.
He had become a tool.
In short, Bai Liang during this period seemed to be temporarily "hibernating."
Including the subsequent Golden Crane Awards, no hype articles were arranged; he just went to get a trophy to put in the studio as a decoration.
After all, Yanzi was also a bit embarrassed to hype this thing; its gold content was indeed just so-so... she felt that her Xiaobai-ge would definitely be able to win more impressive awards in the future!
This situation actually made other traffic stars in the circle breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Liang's debut time was very short, but from the moment he started gaining momentum, the intensity of the dense firepower bombardment of various hot searches was extremely high.
The exaggerated traffic and heat that could push a newcomer all the way to top-tier status was a bit scary just to think about.
The key was that the quality of his hot searches was truly high; either he was being very cool and could fiercely attract fans, such as various "treasures" being unearthed.
Almost making it impossible for others to replicate.
Or the topics were extremely strong; the whole entertainment industry only had this one example of playing with CP like Bai Liang without being widely attacked or scolded.
This put everyone under a bit of pressure... always feeling like someone was whispering in their ear: There is also a gap between traffic stars.
Otherwise, this guy Yang Yang wouldn't have such deep resentment toward Bai Liang~
Finally waiting until he joined the crew to film and started to settle down for a month or two, everyone else could get on hot searches and show their faces.
An entertainment industry "without Bai Liang" seemed so "harmonious and normal."
Everyone felt like they had more to look forward to.
Even Wang Banbi was preparing to release a new album.
Wait a minute!
Traffic stars in the circle: He's going to release a new album?!
——
"Ming Dynasty" crew.
"Mm~ another day full of energy!"
Bai Liang stretched, feeling the weather was nice today; it was chilly, and the wind blowing on his face made him feel very clear-headed.
After running and eating breakfast, he habitually opened his phone to see if there was any new fun in the entertainment industry today.
As it turned out, nothing happened.
This habit was actually developed because of the girls.
Whenever there was any movement in the entertainment industry, there would always be bored young ladies coming to find Bai Liang to eat melons and discuss it together.
Girls, after all, love to chat about gossip, and they also love to find Bai Liang to chat about gossip.
Sometimes he didn't even know what the situation was, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm when chatting with them.
So he simply paid attention to it himself when he was free~
Looks like today is also very quiet.
However, after Bai Liang refreshed it again, he found that the hot search for Wang Feng releasing a new album had entered the top ten.
Subconsciously, his brow twitched; this old brother is the "barometer" of the entertainment industry.
Then a Xiaoshui refreshed in front of him.
This strange girl who had clearly been promoted to editor-in-chief but always liked to run to the front lines of interviews herself.
Xiaoshui: I don't go to the "front lines" for others, you know, just be happy about it.
"What kind of exclusive interview is it this time? For the Golden Crane Awards?" Bai Liang asked curiously.
Xiaoshui, who had come to Bai Liang's trailer for the first time, smiled and didn't speak, neither admitting nor denying it.
Then she curiously examined this thing of his that had been modified to the point where, except for the bed and the toilet, it had almost nothing to do with a trailer.
It looked exactly like the secret space of a gaming nerd, with a cyber vibe to the overall layout inside.
Xiaoshui: Good taste~
"Why is there not even a kitchen in your car?"
"There is a pull-out cassette stove outside the car; it's enough for heating things up temporarily, I don't feel there's any need for anything else."
When it came to trailers, Bai Liang got excited; this little treasure had already been modified by him almost completely.
Later, he might buy a bigger trailer and continue the modifications.
Men, after all, who doesn't have a few secret bases?
A mobile secret base like this is obviously better!
He enthusiastically introduced the various facilities in his trailer to Xiaoshui, as well as the content of the modifications, successfully luring her into the pit.
However, after playing two games with Bai Liang, Xiaoshui suddenly realized that she wasn't here to play.
"Can I ask an intrusive question?"
"How intrusive is it?" Bai Liang said casually.
"Um... how many girls have been on this trailer of yours?"
"How would I remember that? Every crew has a few girls who come up to play."
This answer was a bit unexpected, making Xiaoshui, who wanted to gossip, very disappointed.
The "play" Bai Liang spoke of was most likely just playing, just like what Xiaoshui herself had just done.
Forcibly turning a private place like a trailer into a social gaming venue, Bai Liang's stunt was really a bit outrageous.
However, it wasn't without reporting value.
It could be considered a piece of trivia or a curiosity; his fans and some boys who like these things should be more interested.
Xiaoshui planned to have the photographer take some good shots of Bai Liang's car facilities later.
But she didn't run over here specifically for this today.
After discovering that Bai Liang didn't seem to know that he had been written into a book by Shuangzi, Xiaoshui prepared to play an information gap.
The topic still started from the Golden Crane Awards.
"How does it feel to win your first film award in your life?"
"The trophy looks a bit better than a flower pot." Bai Liang said very honestly.
"You can't say that; you have to say you're very honored and will continue to work hard in the future..." Xiaoshui corrected him directly.
Bai Liang felt she made sense; after all, they gave him the award, and him comparing the trophy to a flower pot was indeed not very polite. "Can this be said again?"
"It definitely wouldn't work for others, but for you, it's whatever~" Xiaoshui waved her hand indifferently.
Trust is mutual.
She just greeted Bai Liang's agent, Yanzi, and the other party arranged the interview without saying anything.
She didn't even ask what the theme of this interview was.
The main point was just trust.
And look, Yanzi didn't even come during the interview.
Because she knew Xiaoshui couldn't possibly make things difficult for Bai Liang.
Even if Bai Liang said the wrong thing, it didn't matter; she would help edit it out.
They were all their own people~
And look, both sides were quite indifferent; one didn't even want a script, and the other even taught Bai Liang what to say on the spot.
Not a single error in the content at a glance!
It's just that Xiaoshui wanted to hear some different "sincere words" today.
As they chatted, the topic naturally drifted to that chance encounter on the plane.
"I heard that when you went to Tokyo, you ran into Ni Ni and Shuangzi on the plane?"
"You even know that?"
"The flight attendant posted a group photo, it's already on the hot search." Xiaoshui waved her hand, indicating that this kind of thing was never a secret.
As long as you pay attention and ask around, it's not hard to know at all.
She had Bai Liang's full schedule in her hands; it could be said that except for the things Bai Liang did secretly at night, or the incident where two girls almost fought backstage at CCTV, Xiaoshui knew almost everything.
If that didn't work, she could just call Yanzi and ask~
And look, the big one is coming.
"I heard that when you went to audition for 'Love O2O' back then, you weren't the male lead at first, just the second male lead, and the female lead Shuangzi, who was initially set by the crew, didn't like you and wanted to kick you out of the crew?"
Hearing this, Bai Liang was stunned, "You even dug up such old history? Yanzi told you?"
"I have my own channels to find out, but you actually didn't even use this to hype it up..."
"Can it be hyped?"
"Of course it can. The incident where the female lead of 'Wolf Warrior 2' ran away and Guli Nazha took over, how big was the noise before? Do you guess Nazha's team hyped this up?" Xiaoshui said firmly.
Makes sense!
So the question is, why didn't Bai Liang use this to hype it up back then?
Was it because he wasn't famous yet and was afraid of being swarmed by Shuangzi's fans?
Regarding this, Bai Liang recalled it carefully; this required activating his super brain, after all, it was already two years ago.
Finally, he concluded: "Yanzi wouldn't have known how back then."
"Ah?!"
"Really, how long had Yanzi been an agent back then, and I didn't have much money; I think I only had 100, 00 yuan on me~ What can 100, 00 yuan do? Can it buy a hot search?"
Xiaoshui thought for a moment, "Better to buy some pork to eat."
"That's right!"
"Then after 'Love O2O' aired, I don't seem to have heard of any waves caused by this."
This might be because of Shuangzi's abstract nature.
To this day, Yanzi still doesn't understand why, after Shuangzi treated her Xiaobai-ge like that, she turned around and helped him promote it.
Of course, Yanzi knows now.
She was also reading Shuangzi's book at this moment, and the more she read, the more she felt her Xiaobai-ge was a bit too outrageous!
"You were 'bribed' just by a promotional Weibo post?" Xiaoshui said speechlessly.
"Not just that."
"It wouldn't be because she fell hard in front of you, right? You felt sorry for her?"
Bai Liang:???
You even know this damn thing?!
What kind of bullsh*t "number one paparazzi in the mainland," it's all bragging!
If you really want to look at intelligence levels, it has to be Xiaoshui.
She leaves that Zhuo Wei guy in the dust.
Bai Liang even suspected that the other party had installed a monitor on him.
Wait a minute~
A flash of inspiration hit him, his eyes narrowed, and his super brain went back online.
"What did Shuangzi write in her book?"
"Oh my, how did you guess? Boring!"
"You're too obvious... Her book has already been released? What did she write about me?" Bai Liang asked curiously.
Honestly, for him, this was a first.
Someone actually managed to write him into a book~ It was just too fresh!
As a result, Xiaoshui gave a weird smile, and the expression on her face made people feel a bit creepy.
The next second.
"She said, you are her god~"
"Pfft!"
Bai Liang really couldn't hold it in; he was so embarrassed that his hair stood on end.
It was as if the scene appeared before his eyes.
In the 2013 Super Boy top three competition, Hai Qing publicly "campaigned" for Ou Hao, kneeling on one leg in front of him, and this was the exact phrase she used while touching her chest.
You are my god.
The level of awkwardness of this thing made Bai Liang feel physically uncomfortable when he saw clips of it.
It was even more so than the "painful literature" he sent to girls when chatting during his puberty.
Playing with awkwardness?!
Bai Liang regretted agreeing to Shuangzi's request so recklessly.
She might as well have just cursed him in the book.
Fortunately, Xiaoshui couldn't hold it in and waved her hand, "That's my summary, it's not her original words."
Bai Liang:... f there were a heart rate test right now, he probably wouldn't be able to control his heartbeat.
"Falling in love with someone is like creating a faith, serving a god who is believed to never fall."
"In terms of her unspeakable life experience, the halo she plated on someone in her heart is like a temple rising from barren land."
"..."
Except for poetry, any literary style is allowed.
But this was clearly heading in the direction of modern poetry... it didn't belong to the essay format.
Xiaoshui read it sentence by sentence, and Bai Liang's expression gradually changed from embarrassment to losing control, and then slowly began to calm down, starting to ponder it.
"I think the only part of her whole book that has any nutritional value seems to be this content about you; what are your thoughts?"
Hearing Xiaoshui's question, Bai Liang shook his head, first shrugging like a little bear and cursing helplessly: "Crazy."
But Xiaoshui still looked at him with a smile, because she knew Bai Liang very well.
Sure enough.
He followed up with a smile: "If it can help her realize her own value, even if it's just for a moment of value and pleasure, then consider it a gift from me."
Xiaoshui: "I think I know why she's like that..."
Damn, as expected of you!
The warm capybara described in the book, isn't he standing vividly before her right now?
Xiaoshui didn't install a monitor on Bai Liang; the matter about wanting to kick Bai Liang out of the crew was written by Shuangzi herself.
She really dared! And it was indeed something she could do.
However, combining these causes and effects, and then looking at Bai Liang in her book, it really makes people feel that this guy is too good!
So good that it's a bit unreal!
Bai Liang: Of course it's unreal; it's purely Shuangzi's own imagination.
The high-and-mighty sun doesn't just have warmth; it also has blinding and unbearable pressure.
Xiaoshui: Handsome, pack up, get ready to be on the hot search!
There is nothing more "real" than the sincere praise after an "enemy's" self-analysis.
If Shuangzi had just simply "confessed," that would be one thing.
The key is, before saying all this, she also exposed the little stunts she pulled... and the subsequent falling out with the "Love O2O" crew.
No normal artist could do this.
But she just blurted it out... the force of this premise is just too great.
Now one has to believe that the Bai Liang in Shuangzi's book actually exists!
And don't forget, Bai Liang has other CPs on the internet.
The fans of those girls are probably finally going to know why their own sisters were so reckless.
Who wouldn't be confused by this?
Even Shuangzi, this crazy woman, was confused.
Reasonable, too damn reasonable!
