Chapter 99: That girl is leaning too close (Seeking monthly votes)

~8 min read 1,600 words

The launch press conference wasn't completely harmonious; there were still some "sharp" questions raised on the scene.

But it had nothing to do with Bai Liang; those book fans recognized him, and anyone who raised objections would probably be torn apart.

They were aimed at Dilireba.

Probably saying things like whether a girl with such exotic features could play Bei Weiwei, etc.

Dilireba herself, of course, said things like "I’ve done my homework well" and "I’m very well prepared."

But it probably couldn't stop those voices of doubt.

Fortunately, her "predecessor" was Shuangzi, who was even less in line with the character setting.

Just one body condition was enough to crush her.

Although Dilireba’s figure wasn't as hot as Yang Mi’s, she was dressed relatively conservatively today.

But when she was doing makeup for Bai Liang earlier, the arc of her knees bending and leaning over had already revealed clues.

Nazha didn't lose unjustly~

It’s just that Bai Liang still didn't understand what Dilireba meant by "thanking him for his recommendation."

After the press conference ended, although those original fans weren't necessarily very satisfied with Dilireba, getting a male lead who fit the character so well was like the New Year.

Consequently, they were more "tolerant" toward the female lead; those saying her exotic features weren't suitable were only a minority.

After all, how can there be such perfect casting? It was already much better than the movie version next door~

Jing Boran: I knew it...

And regarding the confusion about "thanks for the recommendation," Bai Liang also got the answer from Yanzi.

It was exactly the gossip the two hadn't finished chatting about earlier.

"Ah? You told Director Lin Yufen?"

"I don't know if it had any effect. I felt that saying Sister Nazha’s name directly might be too... so I just said Brother Bai, you wanted to collaborate with a Xinjiang girl, and then a Dilireba popped up."

Yanzi seemed a bit discouraged in her words, looking like a frustrated person who failed to fulfill the good thing between the two of you.

Bai Liang didn't really believe it, "Director Lin was teasing you, right? Probably already chosen by then."

He remembered the incident with Yang Mi earlier; this first-line female star definitely couldn't come for nothing; maybe some PY transaction had already happened by then.

Thinking about it this way, Nazha might not have had a chance from the beginning.

Head itchy, Bai Liang was too lazy to ponder these messy things.

The launch press conference was over, and part of his pay had already been transferred.

A very subtle number: 2.08 million.

After paying off the final payment for the RV, this money could still leave a portion for Yanzi to operate the studio.

However, Yanzi wasn't worried about money now; the proportion of acting pay in an artist’s income wasn't actually very high.

The real big head was in business.

For example, endorsements.

Which of those top-tier artists who are currently popular doesn't have double-digit endorsements?

Assuming the cost of each endorsement per year is several million, adding them up is a quite scary number.

This is much faster than the miserable work of acting for a few months.

But Yanzi wouldn't impatiently help Bai Liang take a bunch of endorsements; she had long seen that her Brother Bai’s interest in acting was obviously above making money.

He didn't take pay or billing very seriously.

At the launch press conference, people from the crew specifically explained that Bai Liang was the first lead.

As a result, he was uninterested and had no interest in this topic at all.

——

After the launch press conference, the "Love O2O" crew seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button.

It seemed like they wanted to make up for all the time wasted before.

Start filming immediately!

The filming location was naturally also in Shanghai, with most of the scenes taken at Songjiang University Town.

Such a filming location naturally attracted many students to watch.

However, university students have always been a relatively strange group; of course, there are those who chase stars, no different from ordinary star-chasing girls.

But there is also a considerable portion who have no feeling for most stars in the entertainment industry; many stars have "suffered losses" in universities.

Some crews even received reports when they went in to film.

"Students who want autographs, please be orderly, don't crowd, everyone has a share."

Yanzi tried hard to maintain order; thanks to the crew’s staff helping, otherwise her throat would have been hoarse.

Bai Liang’s popularity in the university town far exceeded imagination!

Logically, this is very abnormal; he just became famous, and his popularity shouldn't have accumulated to this extent.

Dilireba also had a wave of popularity before, although not as exaggerated as Bai Liang’s, but the contrast between the two sides was particularly strong at this moment.

On one side, people were about to crowd it out, and on the other side, there were only two or three kittens.

This made people feel a bit strange; it shouldn't be such a strong contrast, right? After Dilireba signed autographs and took photos with those fans, she couldn't help but peek at Bai Liang.

There were no fewer people; instead, there were more and more.

"He is so amazing! Is he that famous?"

"Pfft~"

Mao Xiaotong on the side couldn't hold it back, covering her mouth and shaking with laughter.

Regarding this, Dilireba really wanted to ask what she was laughing at, but the two had just met and weren't very familiar.

Fortunately, Mao Xiaotong took the initiative to explain to her: "I just leaned over to look, actually there aren't many fans, many are here to get some good luck."

"Ah?"

"Those students are all holding civil service exam or postgraduate exam materials and asking him to sign them."

Hearing this, Dilireba couldn't hold it back either, pursed her lips, and finally, like Mao Xiaotong, covered her mouth and started laughing secretly.

Please... you.... bookmark 6...9...book....!

What a mascot!

These university students are really fun; they usually believe in science, but believe in metaphysics when taking exams?

Actually, Mao Xiaotong wasn't entirely right; they weren't all civil service or postgraduate exam parties coming to Bai Liang to "seek enlightenment."

There were also many gaming brothers mixed in, holding mouse pads and asking Bai Liang to sign them.

Among the university student group, Bai Liang’s name for the civil service exam and judicial exam was indeed the biggest.

Followed by his identity as an e-sports player.

These two things were very familiar to university students.

Instead, the shows he acted in, these students might not have all seen, but they knew of such a person.

Other stars set up personas, either by faking an education, or saying they read this or that book; such showing off, while useful, isn't very convincing.

But exam scores can't be faked!

Under Bai Liang’s Weibo, there is now a considerable portion of exam parties clamoring for him to share more exam tips.

Because he really scored very high! And he hadn't taken those training classes.

After all, with such high popularity, if he had really taken any civil service or postgraduate training class, they would have jumped out to claim him long ago; what a good publicity effect.

In fact, there were indeed business contacts reaching out to Yanzi; those large exam institutions wanted to spend money to have Bai Liang be their image spokesperson.

The prices offered were higher than the last.

After knowing that Bai Liang was being treated as a "mascot," Dilireba even felt some sympathy for him.

They weren't fans, and they might not support his work, feeling like it was all in vain...

However, Bai Liang himself didn't seem to think so.

"Study hard, don't fail to pass an actor like me."

The boy who just got the autograph had a weird look, "Ah this, is this habitual pressure? Who can pass you..."

"Hey! You’re playing games while studying for the civil service exam?" Bai Liang caught this guy on the spot.

After finally signing autographs for these excited students, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Come over here." Mao Xiaotong waved from the rest area.

As a result, after Bai Liang walked over, he sat down next to Dilireba without hesitation.

"Hey, you changed your face after becoming the male lead, right?" Mao Xiaotong was very direct.

However, after she finished saying this, Dilireba was a little flustered.

So Mao Xiaotong hurriedly added, "I’m joking with him."

Our female lead is a bit sensitive~

Bai Liang sipped some water: "No, you have a boyfriend, leaning too close to you, it’s not good if it’s photographed and spread out."

That’s true too~

Mao Xiaotong looked around and found that there were indeed many people in the distance holding mobile phones or even cameras to take pictures.

In this kind of non-closed crew, actors still need to pay more attention to their words and deeds.

Especially between actors of the opposite sex, the scale of getting along must be grasped well.

Unless they intended to hype it up from the beginning, creating some ambiguous and plausible photos to leak out, it wouldn't matter.

But I haven't heard of the first male lead hyping with the second female lead.

"Like for you, very thoughtful!" Mao Xiaotong said generously.

Dilireba didn't make a sound, her large eyes looking back and forth, seeming to think it made sense.

It’s just that she didn't seem to realize that she was leaning a bit too close to Bai Liang.
