Chapter 179: Prove yourself, I am your father!

Bai Youlou was very busy this night!

There is a kind of beauty that makes him feel like he doesn't even know what he is busy with.

fantastic.

Where the hell is this, man?

If you don’t know, you might think he is playing the real-life version of the reality show “Where is Baba Going?”

It was originally just a crisis public relations caused by Liu Manli's careless mistake, but because of the intrusion of this little girl An Luning, it finally turned into a whole incident.

Some onlookers actually thought that this was done to promote the movie, and thought that Bai Youlou really knew how to have fun!
After all, it is not the time when we were branded as Cao thieves and hated by everyone.

At that time, except Zhang Xiaorong, no other girl who wanted to continue working in the entertainment industry was willing to have anything to do with Bai Youlou.

Oh yes, host Xiao Liu counts as half.

Of course, for Liu Manli, this matter is not that serious.

As an older single woman, it is not shameful or embarrassing to talk about her even if she has a man at home.

What? Can’t a movie queen have a sex life?

She is in her thirties, not her early twenties.

Her fans, especially those die-hard fans who have been with her for many years, did not jump out to say anything like "I don't agree with this marriage" after she accidentally took a photo of a man.

Instead, most of them are jokes.

What is this "finally the old tree blooms". Ahem, Liu Manli's fans are really venomous.

Anyway, even if Liu Manli and Bai Youlou officially announced their relationship today, her fans would only think, "Sister, you eat really well! You are such a good eater~"
How did Liu Manli react to this?

Her father reminded her.

The real dad here is not the random dad that Jill recognized during exercise~
"Hush! My dad's calling!"

Bai Youlou spread his hands and said: My buddy didn't say anything either~as quiet as a chicken.

However, Liu Manli still seemed a little worried, so she got up and ran to the bathroom to answer the phone.

But she came out again after a while, took a picture of the outside with her phone, and said loudly: "Dad, there is really no one at home. My driver and assistant just came to help me move things."

OK~
Bai Youlou was also speechless and decided to hide.

He crumpled his clothes and started playing hide-and-seek with the camera of his mobile phone.

In this way, Liu Manli walked around the house three times with her cell phone, just to prove to her father that there was really no man in her family, especially no young man.

However, Father Liu was not relieved. Instead, he was quite dissatisfied. "Why is there nothing?"

Liu Manli:
Very annoying!

No matter how old you are, who doesn't want to be the baby of their parents?
If this happened ten years ago, my father would definitely be furious and would have said that he would have caught the wild boar that dared to eat his cabbage and given it a good lesson.

But now the cabbage?
Daylily!
Instead, he felt regretful that Liu Manli, the "cabbage" he raised himself, did not compete with the tender suckling piglet.

"Manli, you should find a boyfriend. I saw on the Internet that Xiaobai is at your house, right? Your mother and I both like him very much."

Here we go again~
He kept on rambling on and on, and Liu Manli was so overwhelmed by it.

Older single women like her, especially those with successful careers, are not afraid of anything except being urged to get married.

To be honest, if she was really like Nun Miejue, she could just be ruthless and sterilize herself to show that she just doesn't need a man. If she took a tougher attitude, maybe no one would complain about her anymore.

The key point is that Liu Manli herself is not very determined. She wants to find someone, but she has many concerns.

Living in the world of fame and fortune under the spotlight, I have seen too many tall and handsome men around me, but after seeing so many of them, I feel that they are not right.

Instead, it was this weirdo Bai Youlou who inexplicably had his brain waves matched hers.

However, Liu Manli still felt that she had been criticized too much in the past two years, and her heart began to waver, which was why she hooked up with Bai Youlou so easily.

In the past, she wasn't so easy to tease.

Bai Youlou: To be honest, Mr. Liu, you are much more proactive than me.
After the call, Liu Manli looked at Bai Youlou with resentment, "You are such a jerk for trying to capture my parents first."

"Who attacked your parents? I was just bored and went downstairs to play chess with the old man. I also smoked a few cigarettes of your father."

"In the old man's words, those cigarettes are my dowry. He means that I must rely on you until I get them." Liu Manli said with a smile.

It's just, quite speechless.

If that's the case, then An Luning would give him the whole thing.

Of course, her requirements are quite high. She wants Bai Youlou to be her son-in-law. So it is reasonable for him to get more.

By the way, if he really becomes a son-in-law, can he ask for a dowry?

That kind of "sky-high bride price" of hundreds of thousands is definitely not appropriate.

If you are poor, you will deal fixed damage; if you are rich, you will deal percentage penetration. You can go online and study the fighting methods of the fairies later.

At this moment, Liu Manli listened to her parents' nagging and looked at the situation online. "It's not a big deal. I made a fuss. I should have known better. I shouldn't have clarified it. I also dragged my dad out to take the blame, giving him the opportunity to nag."

"Not clarifying?" Bai Youlou thought for a moment, "That's fine, I don't mind you taking advantage of me."

"I took advantage of you?" Liu Manli said in disbelief.

"hold head high."

Liu Manli: Do you know how many people want to climb into my bed?
Bai Youlou: I am young.

Liu Manli: A rich woman with both money and beauty~
Bai Youlou: I am young.

Liu Manli: Is there any difference between my maintenance and that of an 18-year-old girl? I even look more mature.

Bai Youlou: I am young.

Just like a man stays a boy until he dies, no matter what kind of man he is or how old he is, he will like an eighteen-year-old girl.

Conversely, it's almost the same.

No matter how much Liu Manli was dissatisfied, she wanted to find some arguments on the Internet to refute Bai Youlou, but in the end she found that the world is really malicious towards older single women~
Even her own fans have "turned against her", what else can she do?
They all said that if she really succeeded in getting Bai Youlou, she would be lucky to sleep with him.

When Liu Manli looked up and saw Bai Youlou's "smug" look, she suddenly became "angry" and started to bite him!

You know what, this trick is extremely useful.

Bai Youlou, who was shaking his legs just now, was directly controlled and almost "unable to move", allowing Liu Manli to do whatever he wanted.

Seeing this, she was naturally very motivated and felt proud, thinking that this guy was nothing special.

However, the real competition is not just like this. Liu Manli worked hard for a long time but saw no results.

Normally in this situation she would have given up, because she really didn't have the ability and she had practiced too little.

But when she saw Bai Youlou’s “disdainful” look, it seemed as if he was saying to her: That’s it?

Naturally, Liu Manli was not convinced, so she used her brain, drew lessons from past cases, opened up a new path, and looked for new handles. In short, she decided not to take the usual path.

Under this two-pronged approach, Bai Youlou finally showed his defeat and sighed: Forget it, I'll give it to you.

"Are you satisfied?"

After a brief "review", Liu Manli was very proud. She lay in Bai Youlou's arms and wanted to kiss him while talking.

As a result, a hand blocked her face, "Don't, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

"Uh"

This is true.

"Then are you convinced?"

"I'm convinced"

Bai Youlou said he couldn't help but admit it. What the hell was going on? Didn't Jiang Yuanchu use this trick last time? He said he learned it from watching a porn movie.

Of course I didn't learn it from Madou and his gang. They all have the same roots and similar moves. They were taught by the same master, so their moves cannot be broken.

As the saying goes, learn from the barbarians so that you can defeat them.

So Jiang Yuanchu went to study some European and American fighting methods and knowledge points, which made Bai Youlou, an angry young man who only studied the tricks of daily life, not know how to respond for a while. In the end, he returned in defeat and gave up early.

It turns out that Liu Manli also knows this trick?

Could it be that these two people have shared tricks with each other in private?

From the same sect?

At this time, Liu Manli came back after washing up with a mobile phone in her hand.

“It’s on trending searches.”

"What hot search?"

"Ba Ba is going somewhere wrong, where is Bai You Lou, how come you know so many female celebrities?"

When Bai Youlou took her phone and looked at it, he felt a little numb.

Wow, there are already dozens of female celebrities participating in the annual version of the "Where is Baba Going" event. Of course, most of them are just joining in the fun and taking advantage of the popularity.

Bai Youlou had never even met most of them, let alone know them.

How many Jills can he have to have such “good” relationships with so many female stars?
Nonsense.

“I don’t know many.”

Liu Manli believed what he said, but she still wanted to act a little bit spoiled, "Humph! You stinky man, luckily I'm not in a relationship with you, otherwise I would be jealous every day, so jealous that I'd die."

However, Bai Youlou didn't coax her at all. Instead, he nodded and said, "Indeed, you are worthy of it."

These words made Liu Manli feel a little uncomfortable. She didn't think Bai Youlou couldn't understand her subtext, she just felt that this bastard didn't want to respond to the words at all.

Oh, if you don’t want to answer it, then don’t answer it. Do I really want to establish a relationship with you?
Liu Manli raised her head and said, "Xiao Yuan didn't join in the fun. This is how a female star should be!"

Indeed, Jiang Yuanchu did not participate in this version of the event at all, and Bai Youlou was "not with her".

Of course, what others don’t know is that Jiang Yuanchu is actually an “internal test player”.

She has already been deeply involved in the public beta version event.
But Bai Youlou thought about it and said, "I think she should participate, otherwise it would make it seem more obvious than it actually is."

"How to say?"

"She just attended the Golden Melody Awards with me, and I helped her make an album. From the outside, it seems that we have a pretty good relationship. Even if it's not an ambiguous relationship, we are friends. It would be weird if we didn't come up with something to joke about."

After hearing this, Liu Manli felt that it made some sense.

Jiang Yuanchu does need to keep some distance from the opposite sex, but he can't be so deliberate, otherwise it will seem a bit fake.

So she made a phone call and prepared to let Jiang Yuanchu participate a little, but of course, he didn't have to participate too much.

Not long after, Jiang Yuanchu also posted a photo, but unlike An Luning, who posted a photo of the two of them when they were alone, she posted a photo of them filming the MV, and there were other people in the background.

And the caption: Take me one too~
Quite playful.

Sure enough, after this thing was released, Jiang Yuanchu’s fans did not make any extreme remarks, but instead made fun of it.

Something like, Xiao Yuan, this photo of yours is too old and you can’t participate in this event.

Jiang Yuanchu: I do have some photos of me participating in this event, which were taken in the RV.

But if that thing were to be released, the entertainment industry would go haywire, and it would probably be on the headlines for many days in a row.

Because that was a fucking bed photo.

Although Bai Youlou did not have the same hobby as Teacher Chen, who liked taking photos to keep as a souvenir, Jiang Yuanchu actually took some himself.

It wasn't a candid shot, it was just used to liven up the fun when we were trying out a "new way of doing things".

Not only photos, but also videos.

Of course, he deleted the thing immediately after using it, but Jiang Yuanchu still kept a photo of it.

It's not revealing because it's not pointing at any vital parts. She wouldn't keep something that revealing.

But from the photo that was left behind, anyone with experience would know at a glance that the two people in the photo must be naked.

Therefore, Jiang Yuanchu can only keep this photo for his own enjoyment.

The next day after this "farce", Bai Youlou, who had returned home, received a message from Liu Manli.

"You guessed it, it really came."

Bai Youlou did not stay at Liu Manli's house last night, and our eldest sister was a little dissatisfied with this.

She whined and acted like a spoiled child, saying that she would suffer from insomnia if a man didn't hold her in his arms while she slept.

If you don't know, you might think she has been keeping a gigolo all these years~
Bai Youlou certainly did not meet her request, but chose to leave in the middle of the night. Although he was an orphan, he still had some understanding of the creatures of the category of women's parents.

as predicted!

It turned out that his judgment was absolutely correct.

According to Liu Manli, her parents came to her house early in the morning, around five o'clock, carrying breakfast.

Breakfast for four.

To emphasize, her parents each got one portion, Liu Manli ate half, and it is obvious who got the remaining one and a half.

The uncle and aunt were pretty nice people. They knew that Bai Youlou consumed a lot of energy and needed to replenish more energy.

But Bai Youlou was one step ahead and escaped early, without letting them block Liu Manli's house.

Otherwise, you might have to jump out of the window to escape.

This is because Liu Manli lives in a villa. If she lived in a high-rise building, Bai Youlou would have no choice but to be the city Spider-Man.

In short, I “lived” another day.
-
Two days before the movie premiere, Bai Youlou finally "proved himself" on the show.

In the eyes of netizens, it is considered self-affirmation.

What does it prove?

Proves that he is a genius.
In fact, this program was recorded long ago. How early? Just after the episode of "Actors". However, the early recording time does not mean that it will be broadcast early. The key is the publicity effect.

That episode was an interview program, but it was a relatively light-hearted one.

Bai Youlou also pretended to be cool on that show and asked the production team to get a bunch of musical instruments and play them on the spot.

When I was recording, I didn’t think of using this thing to “prove myself” because Bai Youlou couldn’t predict the future.

He was just pretending. After all, Liu Manli, the beauty, looked expectant, and the host was also very good-looking. Men are like that~
He was indeed successful at that time. He could play almost every instrument and won applause from the whole audience.

In the evening, Liu Manli "asked" him how to use some musical instruments, but she was more traditional and preferred folk instruments.

For example, "flute", "horn" and so on.

After this episode was broadcast, it coincidentally became Bai Youlou's response to some "doubts" on the Internet.

But before his fans or rational people could express their opinions or celebrate, he himself updated a Weibo post.

"This program was recorded a long time ago. It's not about self-proof or clarification. I have no interest in self-proof. Believe it if you want, or don't believe it if you don't."

So arrogant?

It was definitely sent by him.

Bai Youlou's attitude is simple: Prove it yourself? Prove it yourself, sir, I am your father!
It’s not that he’s worried about falling into some self-proving trap or something like that, he just simply doesn’t want to pamper these people.

You ask me to prove myself, so I can prove myself?
When the whole Internet was saying that he had slept with Dong Lu, the first thing he did was to admit it.

I'm just a plagiarist. If you have the ability to travel back in time, come and get evidence and kill me.
If you can’t do it, crawl.

If you can't be arrogant before traveling through time, and you still can't be arrogant after traveling through time, then it means you traveled through time in vain!

It’s true, but his tough and almost disdainful attitude makes people feel that those clowns on the Internet are just talking nonsense.

"Brother Lou, I definitely support you~ I didn't even dare to skip a second of the film in which Madou adapted your story!"

This is the comment with the most likes on Bai Youlou’s Weibo.

He himself responded.

"Climb for me!"

How dare you mention that bullshit adaptation? Sooner or later, I will secretly train a younger brother to enter this industry. Or simply open a training class for actors in that field.

With that crappy acting skills, how could it be better than the product from next door!

However, when the fan who posted this Weibo posted a photo of the movie ticket for "Daydreamer" that he had booked in advance, Bai Youlou's attitude suddenly changed, "I might have been a little loud just now"

"I still prefer your rebellious side. Can you keep it that way?"

"Is it okay to be arrogant at first and respectful later, Brother Lou? Why are you acting like a thin dog?"

"Is buying a few movie tickets enough to make Brother Lou so friendly? What if I book the entire theater?"

"Then Brother Lou might even become your sworn brother~"

"How come it's still two days before it's released? I'm so anxious! Hurry up."

"Tell me a number. Ten billion box office."

"Ahem, 10 billion is a bit of a stretch, let's say 10 billion as a minimum. The trailer looks very interesting, it's the type of movie I like, it should be much more commercial than Whiplash and Before Sunrise, and the box office performance will definitely be good."

"The first two films won awards to establish their status, and then they made commercial films to boost the box office. The next big director in the film and television industry is already prepared. If The Dreamers is really a hit, I don't think anyone will dare to speak loudly to Brother Lou."

"Ahem, I dare to be loud even if it really explodes. Buy him a movie ticket. He is so gentle."

"So gentle, I'm crying. Brother Lou is so damn realistic. He lets us listen to his songs for free and speaks so nicely just for buying a movie ticket."

"."

Realistic?
Very realistic!
But this kind of atmosphere is also what Bai Youlou wants.

When it comes to making money, what do you fear the most? Freeloading is a trend.

It’s like there was a very popular anchor who opened an internet cafe, but because of a joke about stealing mice and keyboards, his business actually went bankrupt.

Because those fans who like to join in the fun will really follow the crowd and think, since everyone is playing like this, I want to try it too.

After all, they are all fans, you can't hit or scold them.

This includes some anchors who sell goods. If they become popular because of a certain "free return" meme, then when they sell goods, there will really be a lot of "mainly companionship, return after purchase" operations, which will definitely make people miserable.

This is the Internet.

What Bai Youlou wants to do can be regarded as a kind of joke or rhythm: as long as you buy his movie ticket, you can "act like a tyrant" here.

As long as this trend or gameplay becomes popular here, many people will really follow suit and buy movie tickets.
Bai Youlou: I am such a bad guy!

But making money is not shabby.

His eating manners are definitely good, and it can't even be considered as cutting leeks, because his movies are not shoddy.

"You don't have to interact with fans on the way to the premiere, right?" Liu Manli held up her chin and watched Bai Youlou teasing fans with interest.

“No, I sprayed them.”

"Swearing again?"

"It's not scolding, it's called loving interaction. No one loves fans more than me."

Liu Manli watched for a while and smiled, and found it interesting.

Bai Youlou's method of fixing powder is quite novel.

Well, not everyone can play like this. As for the fans, they are really stubborn when they get too stubborn. Even if their idols are in jail, they will still stick around and never leave.

But they are also fragile when they are weak, and sometimes large-scale loss of fans may be caused by just some trivial things.

There are various plans in the circle on how to attract fans, retain fans, purify fans, etc. After all, for many traffic artists, fans are the capital for their survival.

Without fans, you are nothing.

Otherwise, why would Jiang Yuanchu want to transform?
Now, with the support of Bai Youlou, she finally has a representative work, which is a huge step forward for Jiang Yuanchu.

To put it bluntly, some artists in the entertainment industry have lived their entire lives relying on their old capital or a few representative works.

"Is she coming today?" Bai Youlou asked casually.

"Xiao Yuan~ She can't come. She has an important announcement."

"What announcement could be more important than the premiere of her boss's movie?"

"The Paris Fashion Show is of course more important than my movie premiere. Besides, you are the main character of this movie, and I am just a supporting role."

Fashion is also a major base for Jiang Yuanchu, and he goes to various fashion weeks abroad many times every year.

Watching a show may not be very interesting, but in essence it is just about running event notices.

After all, she has many big-name endorsements.

There is nothing wrong with the second half of Liu Manli's sentence. In this movie "Daydreamer", she is really just a foil.

Although her role is much larger than the heroine in "Whiplash", it is still not comparable to An Luning's role in "Before Sunrise".

The whole movie revolves around Bai Youlou.

It's not just Jiang Yuanchu who can't come today, An Luning can't come either.

She is also abroad, but she is filming a movie there.

The girl had told Bai Youlou about it a few days in advance, her tone was full of regret, and she also asked if he was at Liu Manli's place that night.
Obviously, the latter is the main purpose.

Bai Youlou said with confidence that he slept at home that night, and Zhang Xiaorong could testify to that.

For a moment, An Luning didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy.

He is not with Liu Manli, but Zhang Xiaorong lives with him now.

A single man and a single woman live together, although they each have their own room. If it were the An Luning of the past, she might have felt that it was not a single room, and at most it was just "sharing a house" but not living together.

But after that trip to Guangzhou, she realized something very important: Bai Youlou was a big pervert.

I am very "worried" about Zhang Xiaorong's "safety".

This one can't come, and that one can't come either
Unlike the last "Ashura Field", Bai Youlou seemed a lot more "lonely" this time.

However, although there were only a few girls he was familiar with, the scale of this premiere was actually larger than the last one.

Almost all the artists from both Huaxing and Manli Entertainment companies went out together, except for two leading figures.

He just saw Nanazi and Qiu Yanran bringing people in.

Walking along the red carpet, being bombarded by the reporters' flash cameras.

The fans who had been waiting outside the venue held up their cheering banners. This time they finally got to see how awesome Liu Manli is, because most of the people at the scene were her fans!

He kept crying out loud.

"Manli!"

"Ahhh Liu Manli!"

"elder sister!"

"."

Bai Youlou once suspected that this sister had hired someone to fill the spotlight?
After all, it is quite common for celebrities to hire some fans to pick them up at the airport or attend events.

When Liu Manli heard this, she naturally rolled her eyes at him, then waved and greeted the fans enthusiastically with sincere emotions.

She started acting at about the same age as An Lu Ning, and it's been almost 20 years now. It's not unusual for her to have so many fans~
She has a lot of loyal fans who have been with her all the way.
Can you block this punch that I have been practicing for twenty years?
Well, that's not right. Bai Youlou doesn't need to block it. This punch is meant to help him.

However, although most of the fans at the scene today came for Liu Manli, she felt it was quite honored to show off a little in front of Bai Youlou.

But she knew in her heart that tonight, whether in person or in the movie, the real protagonist was Bai Youlou.

Liu Manli hasn't experienced the feeling of being a "foil" for a long time.

Whether in the movie or outside of it.

In recent years, she has taken on fewer and fewer roles, one of the reasons being that there are no particularly suitable scripts.

She doesn't necessarily insist on scripts with female protagonists, but she will almost never take on films where she has to play a supporting role to male actors and doesn't have much room to perform.

For example, "Daydreamer".

So, this time, she just wanted to do it.

In other words, I enjoy it.

"Just be happy~"

The elder sister said this without any reason, but Bai Youlou somehow understood what she meant.

He offered his arm for her to hold gently, and the two of them looked at each other.

"My pleasure."
