Chapter 325: Bai Shi Fu Has Been Busy All Day

~13 min read 2,545 words

At the last Golden Eagle Awards, Bai Liang was just a background player.

He made a cameo as a presenter, mainly to support Meng Jie.

The Best Actress from last year's Golden Eagle Awards was Xiao Zhao Jie—otherwise, why would anyone say she's had a dominant presence in TV dramas these past few years?

She truly had all the data, ratings, and awards.

But after Xiao Zhao Jie won the Golden Cup for Audience-Loved Actress, her fans got into a fight with Liu Tao's fans.

Because Liu Tao won the Most Popular Actress Award—the Crystal Cup.

Now things were messy: who was really the "Queen of Television"? Both sides screamed themselves hoarse.

Hmm. Most people still thought the Golden Cup was the real Queen of Television.

But the organizers could've just plainly created a "Best Actress" and "Best Actor" award.

Simple, clear, direct.

Why make it "Audience-Loved Male and Female Actors"? It felt like taking off your pants just to let out some air.

Like forcing yourself to do something when there's nothing to do.

And to ensure the Golden Eagle Awards' popularity and attention, they kept promoting the audience-voted "Most Popular Male and Female Actors" as the annual closing grand prize, awarded by the highest-ranking official present, with the longest award ceremony sequence.

In this regard, they once again elevated the Crystal Cup.

Liu Tao and Zhao Liying's fans fighting wasn't without reason.

Even Yang Mi's fans later joined in.

Because Yang Mi had previously won the Crystal Cup, her fans naturally hoped their idol was the true Queen of Television.

The Golden Eagle Awards' victims weren't just these few—many controversies and messes arose this way.

In 2010, Shuangzi hadn't "gone crazy" yet, and the explosive popularity of "Let's Go Watch the Meteor Shower" earned her millions of fans and a Golden Eagle nomination at just 19.

With massive fan voting, she led far ahead of other powerhouse actresses in the Most Popular Award's Crystal Cup voting.

But that year's Golden Eagle Awards chickened out and didn't award the closing grand prize to Shuangzi, who was newly famous and had zero seniority.

Possibly after negotiation, the award went to Hai Qing, who "surpassed her in late votes."

Even though both were in the same "believer" generation, did Hai Qing really have more popularity than Shuangzi?

Pure comedy.

When Shuangzi attended the ceremony, she barely smiled—reportedly, she "cried backstage, and Yan Ni handed her tissues."

If this happened to today's Shuangzi, she'd definitely go nuts and set off fireworks right on stage!

So this so-called voting dares not fully hand control to the audience—every time they pull something out, they immediately swallow it back.

"The Golden Eagle Awards have done nothing but evil! Isn't this intentional?"

Bai Liang quietly whispered behind the scenes, feeling the awards were deliberately designed to spark these weird disputes.

No arguing, no drama—where's the traffic and hype?

Unless you win both the Golden Cup and the Crystal Cup—that's the only uncontested Queen or King of Television. Last year, Hu Ge did exactly that.

So in the Best Actor category, it never got as chaotic as the Best Actress one.

Hmm. No, that's not entirely true.

It depends on who actually won.

Bai Liang thought, if he remembered right, Xiao Jie had a tough year this time~

This time, Bai Bai Daxian wasn't just spouting nonsense—he'd truly "activated his spiritual power."

He didn't remember much about the entertainment industry, but he clearly recalled the infamous Golden Eagle Crystal Cup incident.

Today's Reba is even more popular than in the original timeline, boosted by "A Love So Beautiful"—the Most Popular Actress Award is almost certainly hers.

Unless the Golden Eagle Awards pull another trick and have some actress overtake her in the final votes.

Unlikely.

Today's Golden Eagle Awards are embracing traffic; they probably won't repeat the Shuangzi incident.

But since the Crystal Cup is almost in hand, if she also wins the Golden Cup, the flood of water will still crash over the Golden Eagle Awards.

"A Love So Beautiful" mainly boosted Reba's popularity and traffic.

The public didn't fully recognize her acting.

Plus, Bai Liang was nominated for Best Actor through "The Story of Minglan," while Reba was still riding on "The Beautiful Li Huizhen."

"You should worry about yourself—I'm totally fed up with you."

Ni Ni found herself increasingly unable to understand Bai Liang.

He paid zero attention to outside noise; all day long, besides acting and gaming, he studied the armor from the set.

Is that thing really that fun? It's so damn heavy.

Boys are just so weird.

There are way more fun things in the RV.

Bai Liang frowned, "What's wrong with me?"

"If I gave you the Golden Cup, would you dare take it?" Ni Ni sneered.

"Is the Golden Cup pretty?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"... Yeah, it's pretty."

"Then that's great—I'll put it in my studio as decoration. Right now I only have one Weibo Best Actor award; honestly, it's kind of pathetic. Golden Eagle Best Actor sounds more prestigious."

"What the actual fuck are you talking about? You actually take that thing seriously?!" Ni Ni snapped.

If Weibo knew Bai Liang held their Best Actor trophy in such high regard, they'd probably all be moved to tears.

An artist of his caliber actually cares about Weibo's award?

He really— I'm crying.

And although Unlike Ni Ni was coldly sarcastic with her words, before Bai Liang left the crew, she still gave him a hard slap on the back, "Go for it~ Bring back two trophies, blind them all. Getting an award, no matter the rhythm, is way better than getting mocked for having none."

Bai Liang didn't even turn his head, just flashed an "ok" gesture.

"Playing the cool guy on purpose again," Unlike Ni Ni pouted and complained.

Of course, he really was quite handsome. That kind of carefree air couldn't be acted out.

At this moment, her eyes caught Xi Zi Ge beside her.

The other guy was posing—Unlike Ni Ni took one look and was amused, mimicking Bai Liang's dazed look~

This kid was secretly imitating Bai Liang again.

It wasn't the first time either.

But imitating even the dazed look was really a bit too much.

And Bai Liang's capybara look was mainly cute-dazed and calm; Xi Zi Ge's imitation had a bit of a Down syndrome vibe. He just wasn't that style—forcing it won't work. If it were his teammate called Wang Junkai, he might pull it off better.

In the future, if he plays a sickly role, he might actually have some talent for it.

"Qianxi, have you heard a saying?"

"Huh?" Looking at the gently smiling Unlike Ni Ni jiejie, Xi Zi Ge was still a bit uneasy.

Facts have proven that for little boys, big sisters are devastatingly lethal!

Especially "bad women."

Unlike Ni Ni had gotten quite casual with Bai Liang, and now she had quite a tomboyish air about her.

But for little brats, one smile from her could still make them pretty embarrassed.

The kind of charm that Bai Liang could almost completely block out made Xi Zi Ge's head spin.

"The saying goes: 'Those who learn from me survive; those who mimic me die.' Don't imitate that guy—no future in it. Careful you spend your whole life unable to walk out of his shadow."

After saying this, Unlike Ni Ni also patted Xi Zi Ge's head, then twisted her waist and got back on Bai Liang's trailer.

Leaving Xi Zi Ge standing there in a daze.

It wasn't that he was really intimidated by Unlike Ni Ni; he just wondered—was that saying really used like this?

This jiejie should have graduated high school, right?

He was just learning, and not even learning well. ——

When Bai Liang arrived at Star City, the Golden Eagle Festival opening ceremony had already ended two days ago.

Obviously, he didn't get to see Dilireba's Golden Eagle Goddess reveal.

But there was no choice; he couldn't exactly take special leave just for this. The filming schedule for "The Longest Day in Chang'an" crew was really tight. Bai Liang had taken over a week of long leave before, almost driving the crew crazy.

He heard Xi Zi Ge was under a lot of pressure, because with Bai Liang not in the crew, they could only torment him alone.

But although Bai Liang didn't get to see Reba's Golden Eagle Goddess reveal at the opening ceremony, she had sent over a bunch of photos and videos.

Clearly intending to use this method to make Bai Liang make up for it properly.

But to be fair, that golden gown wasn't that great either—just so-so.

Among all these editions of Golden Eagle Goddess gowns, only Little Zhao jiejie's edition had a normal gown.

Reba's gown was passable—at least much better than some of the abstract ones.

A few editions of the Golden Eagle Goddess gowns could really be described as ugly.

Fortunately, although he didn't see Reba's Golden Eagle Goddess reveal, the two of them were going to walk the red carpet together at the awards ceremony.

"Dou Xiao Bai ge, Reba jie is already trying on her gown, let's hurry over." Sister Yanzi glanced at her phone and urged slightly.

!

"When it's time to eat, you're not in a hurry... Pack some food to bring over for them. Reba definitely hasn't eaten."

"Dou Xiao Bai ge is so thoughtful!"

But this time, Bai Liang's warm-heartedness was of no use.

After arriving at the hotel, Reba looked at the delicious food Bai Liang had brought, but firmly shook her head, indicating she wouldn't take a single bite.

"It can't be that exaggerated, right?"

"It can!" Reba insisted again.

What day is it today? No matter how tempting, she can't eat!

Hearing this, Bai Liang carefully examined the gown on Reba and suddenly understood.

And because of women's physiological structure, the lower belly is naturally a bit protruding. To make the gown look good—especially that kind of especially form-fitting gown—basically, she wouldn't eat a single bite before taking it off.

When walking the red carpet, she might even have to suck it in a bit~

Otherwise—

Bai Liang reached out and gently poked Reba's lower belly, then tickled her Regarding Yang Yang.

The next second, the originally flat belly popped out with a little squish.

Of course, that's an exaggerated description.

Actually, it just bulged out slightly. This is normal physiological structure.

Good lord, so after he came in, this girl had been sucking in her belly the whole time!

"Hey! Don't do that!" Reba said, suddenly a bit embarrassed and annoyed.

"Don't hold yourself so tight in front of me."

Bai Liang stroked her lower belly; the warmth of his palm made Reba feel quite comfortable, so she just pouted at him without shaking his hand off.

But from that slightly upturned corner of her mouth, one could tell she was in a pretty good mood.

Because they hadn't seen each other for a while, she subconsciously wanted to look more perfect when appearing in front of Bai Liang.

But clearly, Bai Liang could accept her "imperfections," and such an attitude was even more comforting to the heart~

So Reba also reached out and stroked Bai Liang's ear.

The feel was just as always~

While touching, she suddenly asked: "Does anyone else do this to you like I do?"

"No, how could that be~"

Bai Liang naturally denied it outright.

Of course, he was telling the truth—the unique little quirks of those two new Jiang girls really were rather unconventional.

Na Zha liked his Adam's apple, Reba liked his ears; other girls had no particular feelings about those two spots.

And those two of them never stopped until it was covered in saliva every time.

"And no one calls you Da Bai like I do, right?"

"Most people call me Great Immortal," Bai Liang continued honestly.

"What Great Immortal? That sounds awful. Da Bai sounds much better."

Hearing this, Bai Liang couldn't help but say: "Da Bai actually sounds a bit like a dog's name."

If he hadn't said it, fine—but once he did, Reba's eyes lit up.

The next second, she made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound with her mouth.

So... is this the nationwide standard way to call a dog?

After her little prank, Reba immediately apologized, and very sincerely at that.

"Woof~"

Obviously, her mental state right now was probably about the same as when she was singing folk songs.

Very excited, to the point of starting to do some abstract things.

Can't take it anymore!

Reba's assistant was the first to turn and leave, saying the way these two flirted was way too freaking perverted!

That "tsk tsk tsk" wasn't joking around with the other person at all—it was clearly "mocking" people like them.

Feeling the public display of affection stuffed right into their mouths, they were the dogs!

Leaving? Good that you're leaving! All of you, get out!

Reba was clearly too embarrassed to say "clear the room"—that would have been too obvious.

And right now there was still a long time before the red carpet at the awards ceremony.

"Da Bai... go lock the door, will you?"

Looking at Reba before him, gently biting her lip, eyes wide, staring straight at him, Bai Liang naturally understood what she meant.

After quickly taking care of these minor details, he considerately asked: "What about your makeup?"

"Just be a little careful."

"What about the gown? Does it need to come off?"

"You can roll it up."

Just like students in puppy love at school who would do anything for some intimacy.

Ducking into the grove and spreading their school uniforms on the ground, when impulse flared up, nothing could stop young men and women from finding every way to release their hormones.

However, the outfit Reba was wearing right now was indeed a bit troublesome.

Even the simple act of lying face-down on the bed was a little difficult for her because the clothes were so tight.

But precisely because of that, the high, perked-up butterfly butt looked especially full.

From the front, like a slender blue-and-white porcelain vase.

From the side, even more of a curvy flavor.

Bai Liang felt he'd seen this scene somewhere before! "Hidden Blade"!

Xu Qing inside, wearing a qipao and sticking out her big butt, slowly lay down just like that.

But Reba's effect came more from her slim waist creating the visual contrast—it wasn't that she was actually that big~

It was because the contrast was so obvious that the curves looked especially alluring.

But haute couture gowns were still way too much trouble.

Master Bai, after bustling about for half the day, finally decided to help Reba take it off.

Otherwise he was afraid that one forceful tug from him would season-ending injury this expensive gown before it even made its red carpet debut.

Heard it was the brand's autumn new haute couture piece.

"Huh? Sister Yanzi, did you hear a dog barking?"

"... Yes."

Sister Yanzi, who was guarding the door, and Reba's assistant exchanged a glance, then suddenly couldn't hold it together.

"Your boss."

"Your boss!"

—

Third watch, muah, begging for monthly tickets.
