Chapter 35

The popular "plane showdown" was, of course, impossible.

Although Yang Xing and Cai Yinong both knew of each other, they weren't close friends; they just nodded and greeted each other when they met.

Cai Yinong was a bit better off; she didn't know what Yang Xing was going there for and didn't think much of it at all.

But Yang Xing thought a lot!

At this time, on this plane, the other party's destination was naturally self-evident.

She could only be glad that she had bought her ticket decisively; otherwise, if she arrived later, who knew if someone would have snatched him away.

Although Bai Liang was currently filming a Tang Ren drama, Yang Xing claimed that she was the "talent scout" who led him onto the path of acting.

First come, first served!

If anyone was snatching, it would definitely be the other party snatching from her. If she signed Bai Liang, it would be perfectly justified.

The flight from Shanghai to Zhengzhou was only about a two-hour journey.

Departing at noon, one could reach the Zhongyuan Film and Television City before evening.

As soon as Yang Xing got off the plane, she called Bai Liang to ask where he was and if it was convenient for him to come out and chat.

Then she was rejected.

Bai Liang on the other end of the phone didn't mind grabbing a meal, but the crew was having a dinner party tonight, so it wasn't easy to turn it down.

However, Bai Liang also indicated that they would probably go to karaoke after eating, and he could come out to meet Yang Xing then.

Yang Xing: Such a familiar sense of déjà vu!

After hanging up, she laughed; wasn't it at a commercial karaoke place that she first met Bai Liang and Huang Jingyu?

This time it felt like the roles were reversed~

That was fine too; before meeting, she had to prepare.

For example, a more suitable "meeting gift."

"Hello~ I'm Bai Liang, you must be..."

"I'm Chen Yao, very happy to be working with you."

Having already filmed two dramas, Bai Liang could be considered an "old bird" actor.

At least compared to the true novice in front of him, he was indeed quite experienced.

Before *Wu Xin: The Monster Killer*, the second female lead Chen Yao had only acted as a small supporting role in *Whirlwind Girl*.

Her screen time was about the same as Bai Liang's in *Chinese Paladin 5*.

The other party fit the novice standard in every way; her tone of voice was gentle and unhurried.

However, perhaps because they had just met, her voice was a bit small~

This actually fit her slightly youthful face, but this girl was wearing heeled shoes, and standing there, she definitely looked over 1.7 meters tall.

That wasn't very "loli-like" at all; it was quite a contrast.

This girl had a completely different personality from the carefree Jin Cheng.

She didn't talk much, just stood there prettily, and after greeting him, she silently observed Bai Liang, like a little kitten.

Bai Liang: Pretty cute~

"Are you two on a blind date?"

Wang Yanlin, who appeared from nowhere, ruined the atmosphere with one sentence.

"You scared her away..." Bai Liang said helplessly, watching Chen Yao "flee in panic."

Wang Yanlin rubbed his face, "Although I'm not as handsome as you, I'm not that ugly, right? Back in the Northeast, I was a famous handsome guy in the surrounding villages."

"Hmm... you're the third person to say that."

Bai Liang thought to himself, did all the famous handsome guys from their surrounding villages run to the entertainment industry?

"By the way, after dinner tonight, let's find a place to have a drink?" Wang Yanlin suggested.

"Aren't you going to sing?"

"There are too many people, and we rely on our faces to eat... Brother, don't tell me you want to call girls again~ I can't call ten or eight pretty girls for you with one phone call here."

"You could in the Northeast?"

"Not really."

"Then what the hell are you talking about... I can actually call a girl."

Huh?!

Wang Yanlin looked at Chen Yao, who had reappeared, with a puzzled expression and shook his head: "You aren't going to call her to go with us, are you? We just met, that's not very good..."

Although Chen Yao spoke in a small voice, her ears were sharp!

After hearing the "loud conspiracy" of the two, she showed some hesitation on her face. Should she go or not?

With this hesitation, she hesitated until the dinner party ended.

Sigh~ no one came to invite her to go out and play~

In the end, she was still sitting in the KTV room listening to others "wailing."

On the other side, at a certain bar.

Wang Yanlin, who was full of expectations, still wanted to see what kind of great beauty Bai Liang could call over to drink with them~

Drinking, sometimes it really feels better when there are girls present.

And Wang Yanlin still trusted Bai Liang's aesthetics; he would never forget the scene where the great beauty Guli Nazha fed him yogurt during the audition at Tang Ren.

It was also that time that Wang Yanlin realized the difference between a real handsome guy and an ordinary handsome guy wasn't just on the surface.

Deep disappointment swept over him, and it also swept over everyone who was auditioning at the time.

But today!

He was dumbfounded again!

When he saw Yang Xing walking over with a smile on her face, Wang Yanlin almost spat his drink onto Bai Liang's face.

No, brother!

You call this a girl? Isn't she almost as old as both of us combined?

Bai Liang: Who says an older girl doesn't count as a girl?

After the "panic," Wang Yanlin looked at Bai Liang with a complicated expression: Brother, you are truly hungry.

"This is Sister Yang; she is very powerful. She used to be Zhang Ziyi's agent! This is my friend Wang Yanlin, also an actor." Bai Liang introduced.

With one sentence, Wang Yanlin felt he had become a clown.

Good... good brother!

Yang Xing greeted the two with a smile, and then, just like the first time they met, she took out two business cards.

"The business card is different from before." She specifically reminded Bai Liang.

After getting it, it was indeed different.

Gan Cheng Film and Television.

Hmm, never heard of it.

Obviously not as famous as Tang Ren. Bai Liang stuffed it into his pocket and started ordering drinks for Yang Xing.

Wang Yanlin, on the other hand, didn't dare to underestimate it; he carefully put away the business card. Just the title of being Zhang Ziyi's former agent was enough to "deter" a small fry like him.

He thanked his good brother in his heart again for introducing such a connection to him.

Getting familiar and getting contact information is actually useless most of the time, but who knows when it might suddenly come in handy.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

However, he also carefully noticed Bai Liang's address for Yang Xing... Sister Yang?

Good brother, where did you meet so many powerful "rich women"?!

After the drinks arrived, Yang Xing's eyes lit up. Good kid, he actually remembered what she drank at that commercial karaoke place.

Sometimes, the interaction between people can really reach the heart through certain small details.

Just for this point, Yang Xing felt the word "attentiveness."

She couldn't help but be even more satisfied with him. For an artist, IQ isn't that important, but EQ is really important!

She took a sip of her drink and didn't bother with any preamble, saying directly: "Not signed with a company, right? Come to me, I'll make you an A-list star in three years!"

The tone was firm and quite domineering.

Wang Yanlin held his glass, not daring to breathe.

And Bai Liang was stunned, "Actually, I don't really need to..."

"You call me sister, I definitely won't treat you badly. Cai Yinong offered you conditions too, right? But you must understand Tang Ren's situation. They have too many artists; Hu Ge is pressing down from above, and there's Han Dongjun who is being heavily promoted below. It won't be easy for you to get the best resources if you join them. But it's different here; I have resources, and there are few people! I will sign at most two or three artists..."

Sister Yang said a lot in one breath, took a sip of her drink to moisten her throat, and silently observed Bai Liang's expression.

The result was that this kid's reaction was a bit off.

Excitement, confusion, hesitation, and other emotions were all absent.

However, he thought for a few seconds to show respect, and then asked in confusion: "Artists?"

"Hmm?"

Yang Xing frowned. Is there a problem with this word? If you like, "stars" is fine too.

Bai Liang replied: "I'm at most just an actor. If I really sign with your company, Sister Yang, I might waste the resources and energy you mentioned. Wouldn't that be cheating you?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Wang Yanlin silently gave Bai Liang a thumbs up in his heart. You dare to talk nonsense at a time like this? Brother, are you drunk?

Speaking of which, he could actually steal this "negotiation" method...

However, Yang Xing stared at Bai Liang, seemingly understanding his subtext.

At the same time, she shook her head at his "naivety," but explained patiently: "Actor? Performing artist? I don't like to dampen the enthusiasm or dreams of young people, but... your EQ is very high, you should know what I'm talking about. The film and television industry is a vanity fair; there are some things you can't resist unless you leave."

"If I ever get tired of filming, I'll probably leave," Bai Liang said casually.

Sister Yang laughed, suddenly feeling that this kid was quite cute!

"Without a company, without an agent, where are you going to film? Like those extras, waiting for work? Will the roles come to you on their own?"

Bai Liang nodded in agreement.

He understood the logic~

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID was Meng Ziyi.

Before this call, she had sent Bai Liang a few messages, the content of which was roughly: There's a great drama here looking for actors! They want newcomers, do you want to come and try?

He looked up at Sister Yang again.

You might not believe it, but he just came to have a drink, and a role came along~
