Chapter 666: As If Picking a Fight with Gambling Addicts

What a fine "why don't you just give her one"—even Bai Liang was stunned reading that.

Women really are impossible to figure out no matter how much you study them; his super brain was about to overheat, and he still couldn't work out how Sister Zhao had managed to type those words.

The diversity of humanity was on full display at this moment!

"What are you looking at? Let me see~"

Unlike Ni Ni, who was lying on the sofa with her long legs stretched out, sensed something was off and couldn't help asking curiously.

The reason it felt wrong was that Bai Liang's hand had stopped moving. Just now it had at least been gently stroking~ and it had felt rather nice too.

"Spam text."

Bai Liang—honest and reliable little gentleman—also liked to toss out the occasional small lie.

But this time he felt what he said might not be a lie, but rather still honesty.

Isn't this thing just a spam text~

Give her one? If he really did, Sister Zhao would most likely drop that look she's wearing right now.

And upon hearing his words, the expression on the other's face could no longer be held back—first the corner of her mouth curled up, then she simply turned her head away, covering her mouth as she shook with laughter.

Hearing it was a "spam text," Unlike Ni Ni didn't think too much of it either, lay back down and started humming, "I'm almost wrapping my part soon."

"Our film is shooting pretty fast, and you don't have many scenes—wrapping soon is normal~"

Unlike Ni Ni: Is that what I want to hear, sis? You bastard, you've been feeling me up for ages and you don't know to reach a little further?

She truly hadn't expected seducing someone to be this hard—damn, does she have to grab his hand and shove it down her pants herself? What would that even look like?!

Fortunately, she still had a trick!

"Hey, I recently got a script here, the male lead hasn't been decided yet—are you interested?"

"Tell me the name, maybe I've seen it too."

"Lost in the Stars."

Oh~ that one!

Bai Liang actually knew it, and had received the script offered to him.

"Lost in the Stars" was adapted from the Soviet film "A Trap for a Bachelor," a suspense-crime genre movie.

But this script was killed outright by Sister Yanzi, because the male lead's dogshit character setting was truly a bit fucked.

Calling him the male lead was really not as good as saying he was the villain.

A gambling phoenix man who even kills his wife. Even if you told Sister Yanzi this thing could pull over three billion at the box office, she'd still help Bai Liang turn it down.

As if anyone was short of that three billion box office~

But because the production team behind this script really was quite strong, even though Sister Yanzi didn't want Bai Liang to take it the moment she read it, she still showed him the script so he'd have a sense of it.

After all, the producer and screenwriter was Chen Sicheng—this guy, while a bit greasy in image and trashy in persona, really did have some chops in the commercial suspense film field; he's one of those rare figures in showbiz who can deliver consistently, and even drops a hit every now and then.

In the commercial film arena, this kind of person is even more sought after than Guo Fan—after all, the "The Wandering Earth" IP comes out too slowly; unlike Chen Sicheng, you can almost see a film he directed or produced every year.

So with a production team built around him, plus powerful distribution capabilities behind it, if Bai Liang were willing to take this script, it would pretty much be maxed out in every way.

Yet how could Bai Liang possibly take this thing.

It's not that he's unwilling to play a villain—because from a certain angle, he started out his career by playing "villains."

Among young actors, Bai Liang already counts as someone with fairly low repetition in his roles—he's tried many different character settings, and his lane here is quite broad.

But this kind of role—Bai Liang took one look and knew he didn't like it.

Gambling dog and wife-killer both—no chance for him to step in as himself, acting it would be too boring.

Even from a professional standpoint, Bai Liang really couldn't manage to make himself play a hopelessly degenerate gambler.

This kind of experience, for him, was stepping right onto a blind spot in his life.

After all, if he ever felt unhappy one day and went to Macau, that would be going to withdraw cash from Old He's family. How could someone like that empathize with a gambling-dog character?

But Unlike Ni Ni still wouldn't give up, "Your acting is so good, and this role is especially subversive—I think it could win awards!"

"Winning so many awards isn't really useful either~" Bai Liang said, not really caring.

Damn!

Even Sister Zhao couldn't stand hearing that and couldn't help glancing sideways.

What do you mean winning awards is useless?

But on second thought... it does seem somewhat reasonable. For others it might be useful, but for Bai Liang, it really might just be like that~

After all, this guy carries the title of Weibo Best Actor and still rampages through everything; now he's even got the Golden Rooster Best Actor.

Saying "I don't lack anything now" really isn't wrong!

Plus... neither of them is blind—the "Life Matters" they're currently filming looks at first glance like the kind of project that, if done well, could sweep awards everywhere.

For a moment, they looked at each other in silence, truly not knowing what to say.

Unlike Ni Ni, anyway, racked her brains and truly couldn't come up with anything good to keep sweet-talking Bai Liang.

She couldn't exactly say "just take this role and I'll let you hehehe," could she?

If she really could do that, she'd have already had her fill~

"Lucky I didn't promise anyone I could get you to do it, or my face would be completely lost." Unlike Ni Ni felt a bit of relief at this moment—she had actually only brought this up on her own initiative after getting another call yesterday.

Fortunately she hadn't boasted any guarantee of sealing the deal, only said she could give it a try and told the other party not to get their hopes up too much.

She also kind of admired Chen Sicheng—one moment publicly announcing his divorce on Weibo, the next moment carrying on with work completely unaffected.

And Bai Liang actually admired Unlike Ni Ni even more—one moment complaining about that guy's divorce, the next moment coming to help act as a go-between.

The role-switching was smooth enough.

However, although Bai Liang had no interest in this project, there's a saying—since you're already here.

After Unlike Ni Ni's wave of explanation, Sister Zhao's eyes lit up a little—oh~ this project she's a bit interested in!

Has the female lead been decided?

Unlike Ni Ni:.

Damn it! The female lead is right in front of you, you bastard!

Is the entertainment industry this wild now? Wanting to steal a role and asking the original person directly?

Is there any justice left? Is there any law left?

Damn, when those sluty sisters wanted to steal Bai Lu's role, they didn't run up to the original person to flaunt themselves~ That kind of move should only come after everything's already settled.

Dou Dou Xiao Zhao also realized her awkward question, but quickly changed the subject, asking more about the other elements of the project.

Her eyes lit up more and more as she listened!

Of course, Unlike Ni Ni was actually being very naughty too—she did it purely on purpose.

This time she came to "A Big Life Affair" as a supporting role. Although she had the title of "Special Appearance" to save face, in reality she was indeed overshadowed by Zhao Liying. Her team had plenty of complaints about it, feeling she'd gone crazy over a man and was carrying sedan chairs for others like this.

Fortunately the female lead was Yang Enyou, otherwise she'd definitely have been used as a stepping stone.

And now, Zhao Liying was actually interested in the project "Lost in the Stars"—so no matter what, Unlike Ni Ni had to help build the atmosphere!

For no other reason than wanting her to play second fiddle to herself!
