Chapter 461: The Tigress Outside Really Eats People (Request Monthly Votes)

Sister Yanzi set very high conditions for The浪Sisters.

Besides receiving the maximum allowable fee under the salary cap, she also demanded a producer role and profit sharing.

The percentage she asked for wasn't low at all!

She thought her outrageous demands, even if Mango Entertainment was a giant, would still force them to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

But the other side didn't even hesitate—they immediately agreed.

Then, hesitantly, they asked: "Can we cut it a little?"

This kind of haggling clearly showed they were dead set on getting it.

Mango's current attitude toward Bai Liang had reached a near-superstitious level—only they could pull off something like this.

But they weren't purely superstitious; there were real reasons backing it.

After subtly leaking the news, the feedback they received told them: absolutely no loss!

The female stars inquiring were becoming bigger and more famous—and even their ages were trending younger.

Not to mention Yang Mi herself—

Well, she didn't actually ask The浪Sisters production team, but after hearing about it, she came over to tease Bai Liang.

"Oh my, do you think I could join The浪Sisters and form a group to debut? Can you pull some strings for me, Teacher Bai~~~"

Listening to Big Mi Mi's baby voice, plus her deliberately high-pitched tone, gave Bai Liang goosebumps.

"You? The浪Sisters?"

"What, am I not wild enough?!"

Bai Liang figured the show wasn't about that kind of wildness.

But if Big Mi Mi really joined, he could already picture her bouncing around on stage—she'd actually make it!

Dance? Bouncing around. Sing? "Love Suicide." Then ask for support.

Absolutely brilliant at both singing and dancing!

"Sister, if you join, I'll definitely pull strings for you."

"Which 'back door' are you talking about? I'm older now—I can't play around with you, or else I might lose control and ruin my reputation~"

Lose control? What kind of nonsense is that!

Yu Yu Shuxin's little clamp was just for fun—real clamping expertise? That belonged to these older sister contestants.

Every frown and smile made you want to grin back.

Big Mi Mi had no real interest in The浪Sisters—top-tier 85s like her didn't need gimmicks—but she found this whole thing fascinating.

Hmm. Boys outside need to protect themselves too!

She was old enough to know how desperate women over thirty really were. A guy like Bai Liang walking near them was more dangerous than Tang Seng entering the Country of Women.

After all, the women in the Country of Women had never tasted a man—but these women in entertainment? Not at all.

If there's meat, they might actually eat it!

And the older sisters' methods were definitely much bolder than those of young girls~

When Bai Liang first joined that "Star Ocean Young Actors" program, the one with the most obvious intentions was Cun Zi—she just waited outside his hotel.

Most other girls just acted like fangirls, and even their drama only erupted after the second time—and even then, it was mild.

There was no help for it; age was age.

But if you swapped them for a group of women over thirty? Waiting outside his hotel?

Hah, they might dare to wait outside the men's restroom—or even walk right in and grab his scandal!

Of course, Big Mi Mi was exaggerating—but she knew how to pick examples.

"Do you know Zhang Yuqi?"

"Yeah, I've heard of her, but I don't know her personally. What about her?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"She just posted on Weibo confirming she's joining The浪Sisters. I'll use her as an example. Do you know the Double-Knife Turkey?"

"Isn't that from Mr. Zhou's movie?"

"She debuted as a Mr. Zhou girl and slashed her ex-husband with a knife. Not every sister is like me—outside, the tigresses really do eat people!"

It was clear: Big Mi Mi had already eaten her fill and was now terrified others would too—so she was slandering them nonstop.

Her goal was to scare Bai Liang into staying away.

After all, once he fell into that sea of women, no one could predict what would happen.

Scaring him first was definitely the right move.

Bai Liang:... Tell me more about slashing her ex-husband with a knife~

But Big Mi Mi suddenly refused to indulge him—she just laughed and told him to look it up online himself.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to check right now.

Because the moment Big Mi Mi hung up, Xiao Zhao's call came in.

The moment she showed even a hint of interest in the stage, Bai Liang couldn't help blurting out: "Sister, are you going up there to do the splits?"

Fuck! You little brat, are you mocking me?

But Xiao Zhao didn't get angry—she had no real interest in the show and wasn't there for the stage.

Like Yang Mi, she was a top-tier 85s star—she didn't need this kind of exposure or gimmick.

Big Mi Mi was just talking nonsense and slandering others; Xiao Zhao genuinely fantasized about "doing the splits."

Too bad, for now it could only remain a fantasy~

Besides these loudmouth sister contestants, Jin Da Xi's "Sao Ji" sisters were still hesitating, while others had already called to sign up.

Mao Xiaotong remarked: "How come this guy keeps diving into women's groups again?"

So unreliable!

For her sister, she had to go over and keep an eye on things—so this idiot wouldn't make a mistake getting surrounded by women on the show!

She'd done this kind of thing so many times she knew it inside out—totally in control, extremely experienced.

As for whether participating in this show would cause any psychological burden—she'd already starred in "Thirty Is Just Right," so stop pretending she's some young little girl—just go for it!

Besides, "Thirty Is Just Right" paired with "Sisters Who Make Waves" just feels perfect—it could even help promote the drama at the same time.

Coincidentally, Jiang Shuying thought the same thing and immediately signed up.

After being hit by the beauty assaults from Meng Jie, Wang Churan, and others on the "Clear and Peaceful" set, as well as Zhang Tian'ai's, she figured she could go to "Sisters Who Make Waves" to rebuild her confidence.

In that group, she'd definitely count as young and beautiful—she'd surely stand out.

But right after she confirmed her enrollment in "Sisters Who Make Waves," she heard that Zhang Tian'ai had signed up too!

Jiang Shuying:???

Her smile vanished instantly!

"I remember her Baidu Baike says she was born in '92—how is she eligible for 'Sisters Who Make Waves'?"

Hearing Jiang Shuying's question, her team immediately checked—and replied with a strange expression: "Sis, Zhang Tian'ai's info was changed."

"What do you mean 'changed'?"

"She changed it to '88."

What the hell! Jiang Shuying was stunned—she thought she'd already been bold enough, but turns out there's always someone bolder—Zhang Tian'ai really has no shame!

How can you keep changing your age like this?

One of the unsolved mysteries of the entertainment industry: Zhang Tian'ai's age.

Damn, it's so flexible!

When she wants to look young, she's a '90s baby; now that she smells the chance to join "Sisters Who Make Waves," she's suddenly a '85s baby?

Of course, Jiang Shuying's own age is also a small mystery to the outside world.

Many people think she's changed hers too.

She herself responded: Even if I changed mine, at least I didn't keep flipping back and forth—look at Zhang Tian'ai, does this even make sense? She's got no face left!

Zhang Tian'ai: I made myself older—you're not happy? What's it to you?

As for whether she'll change it again later?

Of course she will—after "Sisters Who Make Waves," she'll be a '90s baby again.

Honestly, changing it to '92 was already a bit too much; '90 would've been just right—that age qualifies for "Sisters Who Make Waves."

But Zhang Tian'ai thought: Mango TV said it's for female artists born before '90—what if too many sign up and I get rejected?

For safety, better go with '88~

Still, her participation in "Sisters Who Make Waves" carries quite a few risks.

Because since becoming famous, Zhang Tian'ai has pulled so many shady moves—she once even dared to "overshadow" Fan Fan Bingbing!

That was 2016 Fan Fan Bingbing!

And now, she's made no shortage of enemies—so far, one confirmed enemy joining "Sisters Who Make Waves" is Jin Cheng.

When the two meet on the show, sparks are bound to fly.

As for the grudge between Jiang Shuying and Zhang Tian'ai—it just started yesterday.

The other day, "Clear and Peaceful" premiered.

This drama was marketed as "Know Yourself" Part 2, since the director was the same and it was also set in the Song Dynasty.

Not riding this wave would've been a waste.

Plus, the promotion even mentioned Bai Liang's cameo, directly telling viewers his cameo was linked to "Know Yourself"—pulling in massive attention.

Meanwhile, the "Zheng Wu Yangguang" brand was also solid, drawing considerable attention at launch.

Unfortunately, despite the huge pre-launch hype, the post-launch reception and popularity failed to meet expectations—nowhere near "Know Yourself."

Many viewers, after watching a few episodes, said the pacing was too slow and unbearable, too dragging.

Some even joked: "When does Bai Liang's cameo appear? Kick me—I'll come back then. Thanks, kind soul."

Similar comments were plentiful.

Faced with this, Jiang Shuying seemed anxious—she was counting on this drama to explode.

So the main actress herself jumped in to promote the ship—yes, she was shipping her own on-screen couple.

This move already seemed overly forceful.

But even more forceful was yet to come~

"Clear and Peaceful" had a slow pace, but the off-screen drama skyrocketed—literally exploded!

The female actors' feuds quickly synced with the fast pace of the entertainment industry, as if the plot had been sped up tenfold.

Zhang Tian'ai, who had a cameo role, had several screenshots from social media showing "Zhang Tian'ai overshadowing" posted by Jiang Shuying's agent, hinting: "You didn't put much effort into your own land, yet you're cutting down others' trees with full force."

This statement was interpreted as Jiang Shuying's side directly accusing Zhang Tian'ai of deliberately belittling her—inside the drama, palace intrigue hadn't even started, but outside, the palace scheming had already begun.

But Zhang Tian'ai replied: Do you think I'll tolerate you? Who didn't fight through blood and fire to get here?

Her team immediately released a statement: "Honest people don't do shady things, and we've never cut down others' trees."

The statement also claimed that a certain insider had maliciously slandered Zhang Tian'ai, demanding the person delete the content and issue a public apology, while reserving the right to pursue legal action.

Zhang Tian'ai herself also jumped in, posting a meme on Weibo: Jerry's confused face.

When female stars gather, "overshadowing" and "outshining" are never in short supply—but most of the time, it's just backstage kicking; few ever escalate to open confrontation.

Hmm… I wonder if this trend was started by Zha and Reba.

They're already starting to feud publicly.

As for Jiang Shuying and Zhang Tian'ai—neither is a saint; both have plenty of "prior offenses."

Their clash is definitely giving the onlookers a good show.

But at this moment, Mango didn't let this buzz slip away—they officially announced that both of them would appear on "Sisters Who Make Waves."

"Good good good! No wonder it's you, Mango! Such perfect showmanship—making them face off on stage directly, right?"

"I think, I think it's fine! Now this show is truly unmissable—I can't wait to see them fight."

"Just a reminder: two days ago, Jin Cheng was officially confirmed to join 'Sisters Who Make Waves'—she also has a grudge against Zhang Tian'ai. The whole 'Wu Dong Qian Kun' incident was ugly enough—this is gonna be a bloody, chaotic brawl!"

"Don't call it 'Sisters Who Make Waves' anymore—just rename it 'The Little Flowers 2: Super Plus Edition.' I'm going to subscribe to Mango TV right now."

"Aren't there rumors that Da Xian will join this show too—as host or judge? Has it been confirmed?"

"Da Xian? Holy shit—he dares wade into this mess? How bold is he?"

"He's the guy who gave the lion a massive slap, gripped the snow leopard by the nape, and jumped off Zhufeng—what does he have to fear?"

"Given how this show is going, I doubt many male celebrities would dare join, but Da Xian? He absolutely can—you forgot how those two new Jiang girls have been tearing each other apart these past few years? Has Da Xian ever been afraid?"

"It's just a love triangle—Bai Liang doesn't seem afraid of this kind of thing. Remember at the Weibo Night, he held one in each hand—I was stunned."

"He has two hands, so he can hold one in each, but this show has thirty female stars—even if he were Nezha, he couldn't keep the water level even!"

"."

Jiang Shuying and Zhang Tian'ai's bare-knuckle brawl drew massive attention, igniting fierce hype for "Sisters Who Make Waves" before it even started filming.

Now this show is guaranteed to be the ultimate blockbuster.

Mango was practically laughing out loud—damn, Bai Liang is so useful!

As soon as the news dropped, the "quality" of female artists applying surged—yet they hadn't even shared a stage yet, and they were already tearing into each other.

When those two finally stand on stage together, it'll all be pure showmanship.

Unfortunately, after much hesitation, the Squirrel Sisters decided to withdraw.

Though both are post-90s female artists, their public image remains youthful.

Especially Li Yitong—she claimed she's still very young, and slapping the title "Sister" on herself might do more harm than good.

Having Dou Xiao Tian call her "sister" is enough~

Besides, she's about to star with Bai Liang in "The Son-in-Law"—no need to chase this trend.

Li Xin is much the same—she can still play all kinds of young girls; going on this show might damage her on-screen image.

Jin Da Xi expressed great disappointment, but her fighting spirit was skyrocketing!

Zhang Tian'ai? I'm coming for you!

Old grudges and new ones—both settled now!

Elsewhere might be uncertain, but on stage, Jin Da Xi declared: one down, one dead.

She'd make sure these damn women saw what real training from the Tao Li Cup dancer truly meant.

So far, the lineup isn't even finalized, yet the stench of blood and chaos is already spreading.

I have to say, the real blockbuster must have this flavor!

Fight! Thrilling!

More and more netizens began anticipating the full "Sisters Who Make Waves" lineup—come on, come on, any other masters? Bring them out!

There really are still masters.

Huang Jiaozhu was already sweating at home—damn, glad I didn't take this job.

Three of his ex-girlfriends had publicly expressed interest in joining "Sisters Who Make Waves," though it's unclear how many will actually appear.

Because many female stars are now riding the "Sisters Who Make Waves" hype.

Big Mi Mi, during a recording interview, casually said: "If I had time, I'd go too."

Even though everyone knew she wouldn't go, it didn't stop her from adding fuel to the fire.

But as the "Sisters Who Make Waves" topic grew hotter, more "age-appropriate" female stars grew restless, eager to join this "conflict" and claim their share of traffic and attention.

The entertainment circle added a new member to its "collapse squad"!

Luo Zhixiang was brutally beaten by his girlfriend—completely knocked to the ground.

Terms like "multi-tasking" and "time management master" instantly went viral.

This scandal was so juicy, it temporarily overshadowed "Sisters Who Make Waves."

But this incident made Sister Yanzi feel uneasy.

"Big Bai, I feel—"

"Don't say 'I feel.' Say 'I think.'" Bai Liang directly copied Huang Jiaozhu's tyrant boss line, as if trying to reassure Sister Yanzi this way.

But Sister Yanzi felt no reassurance at all.

Luo Zhixiang's scandal was huge, but compared to my own Big Bai, he's nothing.

Time management master? High energy?

My Big Bai not only has all those traits—he's also a space management master. The people living in that damn Shanghai apartment complex? Sister Yanzi knows them all by heart.

I have this feeling my Big Bai's cooking up a pressure cooker even more extreme than Luo Zhixiang's—and when it explodes, the noise will be far, far louder than this.

In fact, Bai Liang's side isn't quiet either.

Some quietly reposted, others flooded with memes.

Some girls teased him, saying, "If you don't treat me well," I'll go online and beat you up.

"Cherish it while you can~"

Looking at this message, Bai Liang was speechless. Who the hell?

So mean—they even used a stranger's number to send it to him.

But he thought for a moment, analyzed it slightly, then called the evil little kitten.

"Hello~"

"Oh no! How did you know it was me?!" Li Yitong cried out, furious on the other end.

Tsk tsk, you just confessed without being asked.

"Who else could it be? No one else would dare do something like this."

"Hmph! I advise you to watch your words— you've got something I'm holding over you."

"What kind of leverage? That mold you made?"

"Not that one. Cough cough… You don't want anyone to know who lives in that Shanghai neighborhood, do you?"

"You live there~"

"Aww! Just play along with me!"

"Fine~ How do you want me to play along?"

"When's your drama going to wrap? I'm starting to miss you~"
