Chapter 621: The Eternal God of the Chinese Music Scene
This year's Weibo Night. Originally, there was nothing particularly special about it.
Bai Liang hadn't planned to come at first. After all, the filming of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" was gradually wrapping up, and he couldn't take too much leave. Coming to attend Weibo Night felt a bit too rushed.
This kind of event drags on every year, making Bai Liang feel like he specifically took leave just to come here for a meeting.
Sneakily playing with his phone, only to be "monitored" by a bunch of netizens watching the livestream.
Although no one dared to pull any "camera bullying" on Bai Liang at the Weibo Night event, it was perfectly normal for the camera to swing over to him from time to time.
Well then, of course he couldn't come!
So using "business trip" as an excuse to dodge the meeting is perfectly reasonable.
That was the original plan, but after the "Top Star and the Kid" incident dragged on without being exposed yet, Bai Liang firmly declared that he absolutely had to come join in on the fun.
Although the "meeting" is long and tedious, if there's some entertainment mixed in, then naturally it gets interesting.
Weibo Night is, after all, the first major all-star event since this thing blew up. Netizens are waiting for the "Where Are We Going, Dad" case to be cracked, and the "fake dads" caught up in it are also waiting for the case to be solved to prove their innocence.
On top of that, there are all sorts of media outlets watching the spectacle and even fanning the flames, never thinking the drama is big enough.
Just thinking about it is entertaining~
Since it's entertainment, he absolutely had to come!
Lu Han: Since it's entertainment, he absolutely had to come!
Yang Yang: Since it's entertainment, he absolutely had to come!
Zhu Yilong: Since it's entertainment, he absolutely had to come!
For the organizers, this edition of Weibo Night is a happy one — top stars all gathered!
It looks just like the Shaoshi Mountain battle in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
From Murong of the South to Qiao Feng of the North, from the Dali Duan clan to the Star Sect Old Immortal, contestants from all corners have emerged one after another.
It really gives off the feeling that whoever doesn't come must have a guilty conscience.
Case in point — even Xiao Zhan, who was mired in the 227 incident last year and had been dormant for nearly a year, popped up and posted on Weibo saying he would attend this Weibo Night.
His fans were happy but also a bit indignant, feeling their brother was being forced to go, otherwise someone would definitely pin the blame on him. In their fans' eyes, the whole world is persecuting their brother.
But this isn't anything unusual — no top star can escape it, and even Bai Liang has a fair share of this type of fan.
When they're charging into battle, they seem pretty cute, but when they post some outrageously absurd comments, they look jarring no matter how you look at them, and you can't help but sigh at how a person can be this stupid.
But it's precisely this kind of person that forms the basic base for harvesting leeks.
"Someone also said you have a kid?"
"They're already cursing me out under my Weibo for abandoning my wife and kid. I'm freaking done!" Lu Han did a little bear shrug, mainly because he hadn't expected this thing could actually be pinned on him.
He already officially announced he's in a relationship!
His relationship with his girlfriend is very stable~
"Who told you not to get married~ In another two years, people will start spreading rumors that your relationship has soured." Bai Liang said with a smile.
"Don't jinx it!" Lu Han glared at Bai Liang.
But after saying that, he hesitated. "It can't be that boring, right?"
"Way more than that. Even if you marry your girlfriend, if you have a kid late, people will gossip. Have one, and people will pressure you to have a second. Don't you know this already?"
Lu Han was helpless. How could he not know? It's not like he's not a top star himself~
It's just that knowing is one thing, but facing all this is still pretty exasperating. He wasn't the type who could keep things perfectly bottled up inside anyway.
And Zhu Yilong beside him looked even more exasperated, because not long ago he had been the subject of heated gossip over this very thing — being exposed for a secret marriage and having a child.
In the end, of course, the matter just fizzled out. Although there was no super solid evidence to prove it was completely true, and all sorts of nonsense like his grandfather being a live-in son-in-law had been dug up before, it served up a fine platter of melon for the onlooking crowd.
But he also couldn't prove it was fake. And whether it was real or fake, only he himself knew.
Actually, Zhu Yilong's situation definitely wouldn't count as a career scandal. Even if it were true, he'd just be following the example of Liu Tianwang.
But being a top star, sometimes this is the price you pay.
But he never expected that just because he had this "prior record," this time when the exposé about having a kid with a female artist came out, a bunch of people pinned it on him again.
No way — he already "secretly married and had a kid," wasn't the whole point to keep a low profile? Then turn around and find a female star to have another one? Does that make sense? How many kids does he actually have?
Bai Liang: "I think it's pretty reasonable. Is it you?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yilong, who usually controlled his expressions very well, truly lost his composure. "You suspect me too? Clearly you're the most suspicious one here!"
"I think you're really suspicious! Was it you who started this?" Lu Han also jumped in.
Faced with the two of them pressing him, Bai Liang wasn't flustered at all — he even felt a bit like laughing.
Of course he could just deny it outright, and because of his "Honest and Reliable Little Wolf" reputation, everyone knows his words carry high credibility.
But~
He came here today to have some fun!
To mess with them a bit~
"You two are playing off each other so well — I don't remember you two being that close. Case cracked, someone's getting anxious. The werewolf is most likely among the two of you!"
Bai Liang's smile instantly vanished. His two eyes swept back and forth between Lu Han and Zhu Yilong like searchlights, as if he wanted to crack the "Where Are We Going, Dad" case on the spot!
His reaction also made Lu Han and Zhu Yilong's hearts skip a beat. They looked at each other, both thinking the one opposite them was the werewolf!
Because they both knew they weren't~
And Bai Liang said it himself — everyone knows how sharp his brain is.
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie, the approach of a stiff, upright figure broke the deadlock.
The person hadn't arrived yet, but the aura did.
From far away, there was already a sense of putting on airs.
Yang Yang: Huh? What are these guys doing, not going in and blocking the corridor?
The scene looked exactly like they were secretly plotting something shady.
Take him along!
So he hurried over. Though he quickened his pace, years of experience posing with perfect posture kept him looking just as upright as ever, still rigidly stiff.
But just as he was about to clear his throat and alert the group to his arrival, Bai Liang suddenly struck an "eagle-eye, wolf-glance" pose!
"Yo, the baby's daddy is here?"
That single line shattered Yang Yang's composure on the spot — his foot stumbled, and he nearly ate dirt on flat ground.
"Wh-what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
If it were only Bai Liang babbling nonsense over there, that would be one thing — but for some reason, the two Heng-Ha generals beside him were also staring at him with that suspicious look, and at the same time the two of them seemed to be suspicious of each other.
Yang Yang's arrival could be said to have raised the curtain on this "large-scale celebrity-circle game of Werewolf."
So many people have shown up — time to start hunting for the wolf!
Arriving with no idea what was going on, only to immediately get saddled with a massive frame-up right to his face, Yang Yang felt that faint ache of "the person framing you knows better than anyone how innocent you are."
But perhaps because Bai Liang had tricked him too many times, he had gradually developed a resistance.
His eyeballs rolled once — an idea came!
If I can't beat Bai Liang, can't I still beat you lot?
Without the slightest hesitation, he flung the pot straight out — never mind anything else, first find the easiest target to bully!
"When I just arrived, I heard about that thing online — seems like everyone's started suspecting you."
Lu Han:???
He pointed at himself in disbelief, and what answered him was Yang Yang's resolute gaze.
When it came to framing people, Yang Yang actually had the edge over Bai Liang — because Bai Liang always caused trouble with a smile, unlike Yang Yang, who kept a dead-serious face as if his whole countenance were written with "I am very serious indeed!"
But it turned out Lu Han was no pushover either — who can't throw a pot?
"What the two of us heard is different."
"What are you looking at me for?!"
