Chapter 121: The Immortal

Sister Yanzi ultimately picked out a script that suited Bai Liang well.

From every angle, this script seemed quite solid.

Although he wasn't being considered for the male lead, the cast list alone made playing the second male lead no slight.

The drama's title is "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms."

"Another drama by Lin Yufen?" Bai Liang thought to himself—he really did have a strange connection with this old baby.

If he returned to shoot "Three Lives, Three Worlds" again, he'd have done three dramas under her direction in a row.

"It's more than that—the production company is also an acquaintance: the same one behind 'Weibo.' This time it's a co-production with many parties involved; this drama is also Galaxing Company's annual big project, likely with a lot of bets placed on it," Sister Yanzi reasoned.

From her agent's perspective, she naturally saw great potential in this drama.

Moreover, due to the drama's unique nature, whether he played the male lead wasn't that important.

This is a female-led drama; everyone, really, is a supporting role.

"So if I want to compete for a role, should I go ask Director Lin for help?"

"Galaxing seems to hold major casting authority—they've reportedly stuffed all their artists, big and small, into the project."

"Then why even come to me? They've got their own company's big package."

Sister Yanzi admitted she didn't know for sure, but she had a few guesses.

The other side proposed a strange condition: someone wanted to meet Bai Liang first, in Beijing.

"Brother Dou Xiao Bai, did Di Li Re Ba mention this to you?"

"No, why?"

"Galaxing's people said they want you to reunite with her in this drama."

This looked unmistakably like bait—Bai Liang saw it, and so did Sister Yanzi and Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou felt a pang of melancholy—had he just joined, only to follow Bai Liang into another battlefield?

If Bai Liang really went to their company, would his studio team be replaced?

At that moment, he noticed Sister Yanzi's expression was odd.

Sister Yanzi: This feels so familiar~

Even this baiting tactic won't work.

The key is, Cai Yinong tried exactly this—and failed. Why would Galaxing think it would work now?

Even a beauty trap didn't work—Tang Ren had three of them, and none kept Bai Liang.

Sister Yanzi didn't believe Di Li Re Ba could outshine Gu Li Na Zha; she even thought Na Zha was prettier~

But aesthetics are personal; both are undeniably stunning beauties—it's purely a matter of taste.

What else does Galaxing have? Surely they won't have 'Boss' Yang Mi show up herself~

Tang Ren didn't even send Liu Shishi.

There are still rules in this world—married women are too taboo.

"Hey? Where's Re Ba? She didn't come to set today?" Bai Liang finally noticed one of the female leads was missing.

"She took a day off to do promotions—the director just told me, so today we're shooting other scenes."

Bai Liang winced—was Galaxing Company really that insane?

He'd only returned a day early, and they still wanted to squeeze every minute out of him?

In fact, Bai Liang's early return had genuinely caused Di Li Re Ba some trouble.

She was rushing back right now~

Fortunately, the promotion was in Shanghai; she hadn't even changed clothes, rushing straight to the set to show her enthusiasm.

Di Li Re Ba wasn't stupid—most of the money went to the company, but her reputation on set was her own.

"We don't have to be like this—Bai Liang, Brother Dou Xiao Bai, took a week off; today he had no scenes anyway, so even if he didn't come, it wouldn't matter."

Hearing the crew's complaints, Di Li Re Ba pursed her lips, disagreeing.

But inwardly, she marveled at Bai Liang's popularity—she knew how tense everyone in her company was right now.

Galaxing's performance targets weighed on everyone like a crushing burden.

Everyone was frantic, rushing around until they lost all humanity.

Sometimes, after finishing a promotion, they'd just curse and complain about everyone and everything.

With anger and pressure building inside, they had to vent somehow.

But when Bai Liang was mentioned—even in gossip behind his back—no one said anything too harsh.

They'd rather curse the set, the director, everyone they disliked, but almost never him.

This phenomenon seemed strange, but upon reflection, it made some sense.

Wasn't she the same way~

So she urged the driver again: "Drive faster."

——

While Di Li Re Ba was still rushing back to the set, two "stealthy" thieves had already arrived.

Mencius and Li Yitong had actually gone to the university town where the "Weibo" set was located.

They claimed to be visiting the set, but their behavior was more like fangirling.

At first, they wore masks, just fooling around, afraid someone might recognize them and cause trouble for Bai Liang.

It turned out they'd overthought it.

After sneaking around for a while, they noticed no one was paying attention to them.

Boldly taking off their masks, still no one noticed them.

The two girls exchanged an awkward glance, said nothing, and fell silent.

"So many people~" "Is he really this popular?!"

After arriving near the film crew, the clusters of college students were a bit startled by Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong.

Filming has been going on for so long, yet there are still this many people surrounding the crew?

They of course didn't know that the college students were about to have their final exams, and cramming at the last minute was pretty much standard practice.

Anyway, the scene made the two of them a little timid, so they simply decided to pose as fans for a bit and later just go see what Bai Liang was up to.

Although no one recognized them, being good-looking was still a big advantage, and the two of them squeezed their way to the very front.

College students really do have manners, especially the young guys.

That did let the two Misses regain a bit of confidence.

"Where's he?"

Looking left and right and still not seeing any sign of Bai Liang, Li Yitong asked curiously.

"Over there, he's already coming. The Great Immortal is really nice, but he never signs too many each time — in his own words, it depends on luck." A girl helped answer their confusion.

This book's latest updates are on ##!! Update!

Whoa~ that nickname is already widely known!

Today the "Wei Wei" crew wrapped up fairly early, and Bai Liang had already ordered dinner, planning to dig in as soon as he got back to the hotel.

But before heading back, as usual, he signed autographs for the "fans."

The workload wasn't much — only about twenty-something each time.

Right now, even though there were about a hundred people staking out the place, more than half were familiar faces. Bai Liang often "caught" those repeat offenders who kept asking for his autograph.

As a result, it kind of turned into a game of spot-the-difference, and these students actually started coming even more often, just to see if Bai Liang really could remember them.

They were testing his memory.

Seeing that Bai Liang was slowly getting closer to signing for them, Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong were a little excited: Hehe, gonna give you a big scare!

But just at that moment, a car drove into the crew area.

The car door opened, and a figure appeared.

"Wow!"

The students very graciously let out screams, which made Dilireba a bit shy when they shouted her name.

It's just that today's outfit really was stunning enough.

Full makeup aside, whether intentional or not, she was also wearing the gown she'd had on for her event appearance earlier today.

A flowing blue velvet long dress, as if she'd draped the shimmering starlight onto herself, the cinched waist and the open cuts above and below revealing glimpses of fair thighs and a beautiful back.

Every couple of steps she took, her figure swayed, impossible to look away from.

Even an ordinary Miss wearing this outfit walking around campus would turn heads like crazy, let alone on Dilireba.

The real killer was that, after a brief moment of shyness, she boldly spun a circle right there on the spot, and threw a heart~

The direction seemed to be toward Bai Liang's side — though of course, you could also say it was aimed at the college students.

"Meng Jie, was she spinning for us, or for—"

Li Yitong shrank back silently, but couldn't help asking this.

Honestly, for someone who hadn't seen much of the entertainment circle yet, she felt a real oppressive weight from facing this beauty-bomb head-on.

It wasn't quite self-abasement, but her instincts told her: absolutely do not stand next to that Miss!

As for Meng Jie? Meng Jie was about to shatter.

Right now she really regretted why she'd come over without dressing up.

But even if she had dressed up, she'd probably still feel totally outmatched — Dilireba just standing there gives off a "threat level" that's terrifyingly heavy.

Having been "bombed" by Nazha once before, she knew this feeling all too well.

Exchanging a glance with Li Yitong, the two of them slinked away exactly the way they'd come.

On the way back, Meng Ziyi went completely mute, unable to say a single word.

Li Yitong could understand her though — this little sister had really picked too tough an opponent!

It feels like... what is it~

A newbie signs up for a neighborhood boxing match, all set to show off his skills, then looks up and sees peak-era Tyson walking toward him.

Thinks: I'm done for.

Then at that moment Tyson picks up the mic and says, I'm today's host, your opponent is Taro Ultraman.

So is this matchmaking really fair?!

This analogy is admittedly a bit exaggerated, but the feeling really is somewhat similar.

At the same time, Li Yitong gained a whole new understanding of the "Succubus" nickname she'd personally given Bai Liang.

Damn, she even suspected that if the 85 Flowers hadn't all gotten married by now, the one standing there applying pressure today wouldn't have been peak Yang Mi, would it?!

Even if it wasn't Yang Mi, this Dilireba is plenty scary — just standing there makes you involuntarily nervous.

Even though Li Yitong wasn't even the main party, she was nervous along with her.

In fact, the ones nervous weren't just the unlucky Meng Jie.

Today Dilireba's little stunt actually made it onto the hot search by that evening.

The ranking wasn't very high, but getting on the hot search just for wearing a pretty outfit and spinning in a circle was honestly a bit ridiculous.

There was some marketing involved, but her state at the time really was eye-catching.

Even through the screen you could feel the joy radiating from within her — incredibly infectious.

The originally ambiguous target of her spin completely erased the college students from the picture. No one knew what angle the video was shot from, but it felt as if Dilireba was dancing gracefully just for Bai Liang alone~

That night, Bai Liang's "fish pond" "blew up."
