One is \"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer\" which is about to be broadcast. He hasn't received news from Tang Ren yet, and doesn't know whether to cooperate with the promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other thing is naturally to prepare for the audition of \"Love O2O\" later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first studied the character Xiao Nai in this book, and even began to intentionally lean towards this \"all-around campus male god\" in the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because doing this is not very difficult for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, later he began to include the male second lead, male third lead, etc., into the scope of preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, Lin Yufen also called him, which was considered to imply to him: The male lead might not have much play for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The producer is in good contact with that Frost sister, and she will likely come to play the female lead. Bai Liang cannot match the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang himself didn't really feel much about this; he liked that no matter what kind of character he played in this drama, he didn't die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having acted in four dramas and died four times in a row, he did have some grievances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time came, he would go to the audition, see which character they were missing, and fill that spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yufen was quite impressed by this mindset of his, and it refreshed her perception of Bai Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then reminded him: Not all campus romance themes are free of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abortion, car accidents, terminal illnesses... these things are also regulars in modern idol dramas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a modern romance film that, in order to break up the male and female leads, insanely placed the male lead on the Twin Towers on September 11th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That movie was called \"Ever Since We Love,\" starring Nicholas Tse and Gao Yuanyuan; Bai Liang had a deep impression of it, as he seemed to have watched it with a girl once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the TV series \"Love O2O\" was indeed relatively much more peaceful, and the things done by the so-called \"villains\" in it weren't that bad when you talked about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while Bai Liang hadn't yet left the \"Legend of the Condor Heroes\" crew, the promotion for \"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer\" had actually already started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brand of \"Tang Ren productions are must-sees\" was still quite useful for the time being; although the leads were all nobodies and newbies, it still attracted some attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sohu Video also allocated quite a lot of promotional resources; in any case, Bai Liang had seen them online himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that... when he went to watch the trailer, he discovered something strange... the screen time for himself, the second male lead, in the trailer was actually no less than that of the male lead, Han Dongjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him unable to help but wonder: Is Cai Zong really such a nice person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the operation of picking out gifts for Cai Zong while \"dating\" Chen Yao those two days was flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Cai Zong was currently throwing a tantrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, what is the meaning of this from Sohu? We made a good promotional trailer, and they still want to edit it again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cai Zong, they said the duration exceeded the limit a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exceeded the duration? Even if it exceeded the duration, you can't cut the male lead's shots; she hadn't even been able to tell who the male lead was after watching that trailer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cai Yinong thought of how Bai Liang seemed to be quite familiar with Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang, and felt that this matter didn't seem strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Chaoyang; the person in charge of this over there was mainly the producer who had originally asked Bai Liang to \"bless\" the project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed a bit long, so just cut a little bit, and keep more of the shots where he looked more handsome to attract female viewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, small matters like this didn't affect anything, at most it just made Cai Yinong curse Bai Liang a few more times behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's interests were roughly aligned now anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had a bad premonition; after all, she had already watched the finished cut of \"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer\" and had confidence in the quality of the drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Yue Qiluo played by Chen Yao had left a quite deep impression on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to promote Chen Yao and hype up topics, it was definitely impossible to bypass the character of Zhang Xianzong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yinong's teeth ached; would she have to spend money on this stinky brat Bai Liang again this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely not spending! Not a single cent! Let him fend for himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, this drama was a \"three-no product\": no big-name stars, no terrestrial satellite TV broadcast, and no super IP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Tang Ren wouldn't have been unable to come up with a better lineup; after all, even the top sister Gulinazha hadn't been squeezed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buzz online wasn't very big either, as it was just a web drama with a niche theme, and only a portion of the original fans plus the few fans of the leads discussed it a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such an atmosphere, \"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer\" went online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, this putty you're scraping isn't level, please redo it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plasterer who had taken two packs of cigarettes from Bai Liang worked happily to redo it; five minutes ago, he was still there muttering about how \"you've never done this work, you don't know how deep the tricks are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Liang walked around the house Gulinazha had just bought once more, and after confirming there were no other major problems, he took some photos for her and sent them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulinazha was quite excited upon receiving the photos, saying how great it felt to see the house she just bought slowly turning into a cozy little home!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her words, she invited Bai Liang again to go pick out furniture with her when he had time later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for him to agree, she immediately jumped to another topic and fiercely praised Bai Liang's appearance in \"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it's super handsome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, it's me~ it's normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The word-of-mouth for your drama is so good! I'm even a little regretful that I couldn't participate.\" Gulinazha muttered softly on the other end of the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jin Cheng heard her say this, she would probably be furious; is being a top sister so amazing? You get whatever you want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulinazha: Being a top sister just means you can do whatever you want~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't paid much attention to the word-of-mouth; is the rating very high?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very high! It even approached nine points at one time; how many domestic dramas can have such a rating!\" Gulinazha's tone was exceptionally exaggerated, \"And the click count is different every day now, haven't you been paying attention?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I watch the drama on time every day, but I really haven't looked much at the ratings and such.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short, although the broadcast data for your drama isn't particularly good yet, the word-of-mouth has already spread. I see many spontaneous viewers online helping to promote it; this is really too rare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't rush, there's plenty of heartbreak to come later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, the plot is great, you keep watching~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll definitely keep watching. By the way, you said you're going to an audition tomorrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, for the second male lead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second male lead again... I think you'll be able to play a male lead very soon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you're right~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing several supporting male roles, Bai Liang really did want to try what it felt like to be a male lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least for the entire drama from beginning to end, he would be active in it and wouldn't end up dying halfway through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing a supporting role, especially a villainous supporting role, is annoying in this regard; every time Bai Liang saw his character die, he didn't really want to keep watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous \"God of War Zhao Zilong\" was like that; he watched the plot before Lu Bu died several times, but once Lu Bu died, he just hurriedly finished watching the thing and that was that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, \"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer\" this time had fewer episodes, and the later \"Legend of the Condor Heroes\" had him dying later... as for that \"Chinese Paladin 5,\" his screen time was really too little; Bai Liang didn't even know how to imagine it for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for a male lead... he probably, maybe, possibly, likely, still couldn't play one this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows when he'll be able to play his first male lead in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the thought came up, it was like wild grass growing madly...\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-17T12:09:24.765Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bf6384a90a8a61106645c3af17c747cc31cd12ce224d4238e279882b837f00bf","showbiz-begins-as-a-male-model-chapter-79","showbiz-begins-as-a-male-model-chapter-77",668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshowbiz-starting-as-a-male-model-cover.jpg"]
