Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 101 - Who can rival Bai Ye this summer?
Lin Wan brought up the matter of revising the script very carefully with Gao Xixi.

Communicating with the director to change the script is inherently a sensitive matter.

Moreover, Bai Ye directly and extensively pointed out the problems in the script.

This extensive change to the script might displease the director.

After all, actors can change scripts, and so can others.

In that production team, Chen Daoming's status was higher than that of Bai Ye.

When Chen Daoming wants to change the script, should Gao Xixi agree?

Therefore, actors are generally very reluctant to change the script, especially large-scale changes.

Moreover, Bai Ye had already made plans; if the script wasn't good, she might not act in the drama again.

Lin Wan was truly terrified.

Although the agreement is only verbal at present, after this rejection, he is not sure whether there will be any further cooperation with Gao Xixi.

Fortunately, the studio currently has quite a few scripts available for Baiye to take on.

Moreover, the drama "With You" became a hit, and Lin Wan is also very optimistic about it.

I'll test the waters with Liu Shishi's film project later.

If things go well, Bai Ye might be able to step into the film industry.

The most difficult period is over.

After sending the script to Gao Xixi, I subtly explained the situation to her over the phone.

On the other end of the phone.

Gao Xixi frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable at that moment.

Bai Ye pointed out so many problems; if we do as Bai Ye asks...

Many plot points have been deleted, and the script will definitely need to be revised later.

Furthermore, it's possible that even with revisions, the series might not reach 82 episodes.

Now, the money is sold based on the number of episodes.

If there are fewer episodes, who will cover the cost for me?!
However, this changed when Bai Ye proposed revising the script and pointed out so many problems.

Gao Xixi also knew that this was a multiple-choice question.

He took a deep breath and then asked, "I have a question. If the script isn't revised, does that mean Bai Ye won't be involved in the film?!"

Although she had this suspicion in her heart, Gao Xixi still decided to ask again.

Upon hearing Gao Xixi's words, Lin Wan thought to herself, "As expected, Director Gao, Bai Ye wanted to try his luck with this for an award, but after reading the script, he felt it was too romantic."

Moreover, there are many illogical parts, which may also be due to poor writing by the screenwriter.

Lin Wan also tried to salvage the situation by leaving the entire issue to the screenwriter.

Even though these scripts were modified at Gao Xixi's request.

But Gao Xixi feels a little better now, since the blame has been shifted to the screenwriter.

He himself was aware that some of the plot points were actually added by himself.

But now is not the time to think about that.

He has to choose between the daytime scenes and the script.

"Does he really think this show has a chance to win awards?"

Even after the water was injected, Gao Xixi had no idea what to expect.

Make money.

At his level, whether or not he wins an award is irrelevant. It would be best if he could, but as long as he can make money, that's enough.

Therefore, making money is the most important thing.

"Director Gao, I don't know about that, after all, you know more about it than I do."

Lin Wan did not express her own opinion.

After all, he didn't really understand this thing, but Bai Ye thought it was okay.

"Alright then, I'll think about the script first. Revising the script isn't something I can do alone, so I'll ask the screenwriter later."

Then I'll discuss it with Chen Daoming. If there are no problems, I'll invite everyone to sit down and have a proper chat, how about that?

Gao Xixi did not definitively rule out the matter.

Besides, the script isn't something one person can decide alone; if revisions are needed later, then naturally everyone needs to sit down and revise it together.

He needs to think about it some more.

After thinking it through, I'll talk to Chen Daoming.

If Chen Daoming is also willing, then he will invite everyone over.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Director Gao!"

"It's alright," Gao Xixi said, then suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, has Bai Ye's schedule been finalized?!"

"I should be joining the crew in about ten days, and filming should be completed in about a month, after which I'll have free time."

Lin Wan recounted Bai Ye's recent schedule.

The gist of it is that Gao Xixi must make a decision within these ten days or so.

After all, if Gao Xixi didn't intend to revise the script during the years of filming that followed.

Then Lin Wan will have to look into other scripts.

The worst thing for an actor is to have free time.

If you have a gap in your popularity, it may decline.

Therefore, it's best for actors to maintain exposure and have their own works to keep their presence felt.

This is the best way to promote.

"it is good."

After Gao Xixi finished speaking, she was also somewhat surprised.

Is it that rushed?

It seems that Bai Ye has indeed reaped a lot of the best benefits from our efforts.

He was genuinely a little envious.

The main reason is that Bai Ye's popularity has really soared, and he genuinely wants to have a serious collaboration with Bai Ye.

He had seen Zhou Yu in the previous episodes and found his potential to be extremely strong.

Moreover, Gao Xixi watched all the other TV series in "Day and Night" afterward, and her acting skills were really excellent.

So he was also a little reluctant to part with it.

If any other actor had suggested extensive script revisions, I would have fired them long ago!
Act it or don't, it's up to you!

If you don't act, plenty of others will!
Are you aiming for the prize?!

If we want to win awards, the script will have to be significantly shortened.

Can't Gao Xixi see many of the plot points?!
Gao Xixi wants to make money and then promote people!

She's the princess that Bai Ye specifically highlighted in the script.

If Bai Ye deletes this, how will he promote others?

It's really a dilemma.

However, he decided to think about it for the time being.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan looked at Bai Ye with some surprise and said, "You actually actually considered it?"

Lin Wan had already prepared herself for Gao Xixi to kick her out of the Legend of Chu and Han production team.

Bai Ye's actions undoubtedly challenged the director's authority.

"It's perfectly normal to consider that, isn't it? Anyone with eyes can see that the script has serious problems."

“That’s true.” Lin Wan nodded in agreement. “Actually, it’s because we found him privately, so as not to embarrass him. This is something we can definitely consider.”

If these things were said in public, Gao Xixi would probably never agree to them.

The shameful blade is hard to sheath.

This is the same principle.

"Then I'll head back now, Sister Lin."

"Okay, you'd better be careful. It's best if the media doesn't photograph you living together!"

Lin Wan reminded.

Bai Ye and Zhao Liying are currently living together, and she knows that.

Now Baiye comes here every day to edit videos. After finishing post-production, she goes back home. Her assistant helps her buy groceries and daily necessities and delivers them to her.

Zhao Liying basically never goes out.

She also knew that Bai Ye had been under close surveillance lately.

Zhao Liying actually wanted to be exposed.

She really couldn't stand the news she'd seen lately.

The popularity of the Geng Geng and Yu Huai couple continues to grow.

Zhao Liying was becoming increasingly uneasy.

When Bai Ye returned, she immediately went up to him and hugged him tightly.

Sensing Zhao Liying's emotions in his arms, Bai Ye closed the door and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Her mood was also a bit off.

I'm a little worried that you'll leave me.

"What is Xiao Zhao thinking about now?"

Not like ah.

Seeing Zhao Liying like this, he felt that the Zhao he knew shouldn't be so fragile.

“There are now online discussions about you and Jing Tian as a couple, and it makes me feel really uncomfortable every day.”

Zhao Liying wants to go public!

She genuinely wanted to publicly acknowledge her relationship with Bai Ye.

However, she wasn't sure if Bai Ye would agree.

She doesn't care; she knows that going public will definitely attract a lot of attention.

But Bai Ye is different; Bai Ye will definitely be affected by her relationship.

If Zhao Liying was able to remain calm and consider Bai Ye's feelings before...

But now she is really eager to go public.

The main reason is that she really can't stand seeing so many people online shipping Bai Ye and Jing Tian as a couple!

She was clearly Bai Ye's official girlfriend!

"After 'Someday or One Day' airs, it should be your turn. I actually have an idea, Xiao Zhao."

"what?!"

Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up.

Is it going to be made public?
She even felt a little bit of anticipation.

"Xiao Zhao, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I think you're not the kind of person who can sit still. It's really a bit of a hassle for you to cook for me here every day."

You're very career-oriented; there's really no need for you to put your career on hold just to take care of me!

They lived together for a while, and at the beginning they were very affectionate. But later, Bai Ye could clearly sense Zhao Liying's anxiety.

She wasn't the kind of woman who liked to stay at home, be a wife and mother, and wait for her husband to come home and cook for him.

Her ambition could never be hidden, and Bai Ye saw it all.

He felt it was unreasonable to keep Zhao Liying here any longer.

If I keep holding it in, it'll probably be more than just getting emotional.

"Are you finding me annoying?"

Zhao Liying pouted when she heard Bai Ye say that.

She thought Bai Ye was annoyed with her.

But she was just venting her frustration; is that wrong?!
"It's not that I find you annoying, it's just that I genuinely think so. Xiao Zhao, you know very well in your heart that you actually want to act more, right?"

"."

Zhao Liying remained silent.

Just as Bai Ye said, she wanted to be famous. Coming from the countryside, she never stopped wanting to stand out from the crowd.

She admitted that she was very happy during her time with Baiye; being with the person she liked was truly wonderful.

Indeed, she felt herself becoming increasingly anxious.

But I had already said it.

"Bai Ye, don't you think it's bad for girls to be very career-oriented?"

Zhao Liying admitted that she had been pretending before.

She is very career-oriented.

He just didn't show it when facing Bai Ye.

Perhaps Bai Ye knew?
Just like when I first approached Bai Ye.

"No, you and Sister Mi do look quite alike."

"But I'm not as famous as her. I want to be even more famous than her someday. I come from the countryside, and like the line spoken by Zhao Gao, the character you played, I want to reach the top."

Zhao Liying took a deep breath and told Bai Ye about her ambitions.

Although she is not as popular as Yang Mi now, she hopes to surpass Yang Mi one day.

"I'll rest here for the night, and I'll talk to Sister Ru tomorrow about joining the crew."

Zhao Liying also knew that Bai Ye hadn't had much time to spend with her lately.

He only comes home for dinner and spends time with me in the evenings; he spends most of his time working on the post-production of "Want to See You".

If I continue to stay here, my feelings will only fade, and I will become increasingly uneasy.

She feels insecure without a career.

In Zhao Liying's heart, career comes before love.

Looking at each other speechless.

Zhao Liying knew that before leaving tonight, she had to make sure Bai Ye remembered how powerful she was.

We left the next day.

Bai Ye touched the person beside her and realized that the person next to her seemed to have already left.

There was a note on the bedside table next to it.

Picking up the note and looking at its contents, Bai Ye felt a pang of emotion.

【Bai Ye, I'm leaving now. I won't make you breakfast today. I'm afraid that if I see you, I won't want to leave.】

You're right, I do feel a bit anxious every day. It'll probably get better after I finish filming a movie. Remember to visit the set when you or I have time!

Zhao Liying is gone.

As she left and closed the door, I felt inexplicably relieved.

She is definitely not the type of woman who likes to stay at home.

She wanted to fight for it.

So when Bai Ye suggested that she go and act in a movie, although she felt a little sad, she also felt a sense of relief.

Within the industry, unless it's someone else or Bai Ye who's willing to sacrifice themselves.

Otherwise, they would both have to focus on their careers.

But
She wasn't sure if what she was doing was the right thing to do.

Because neither of them is willing to sacrifice, the actors are often away filming and don't see each other for long periods of time.

Feelings will inevitably cool down.

A crisis of trust will always occur.

When Zhao Liying approached Hao Ru again.

Hao Ru wasn't too surprised. "I knew you couldn't stay still."

Hao Ru knew Zhao Liying's personality very well.

She was genuinely surprised when Zhao Liying called her after filming "Someday or One Day" to say that she would be staying at Bai Ye's house to keep him company for a while.

But she didn't ask any more questions.

Now, seeing Zhao Liying, Hao Ru also has a look of knowing what's going on.

"Sister Ru, please stop teasing me. Bai Ye also told me that I really can't stay still. Are there any suitable dramas? I'd like to take on some roles."

Zhao Liying listened to Hao Ru's teasing and felt a little emotional.

How can everyone see through my thoughts?!
"Actually, you're in a bit of an awkward situation right now. If we were to arrange a role for you, when would your show air?"

Hao Ru didn't make any prior arrangements.

After all, Zhao Liying was in a very awkward position during this period.

In fact, Hao Ru really wanted to see Zhao Liying become like Jing Tian.

If he could suddenly rise to the second tier.

That would make finding a role much easier.

"I'm not entirely sure. 'White Night' is still in post-production. If it's going to be released, it'll probably be a while, maybe until winter?"

Zhao Liying wasn't quite sure either; she had asked Bai Ye before.

Bai Ye didn't specify when exactly.

She made a rough guess that it might be in December.

Hao Ru frowned as she listened to Zhao Liying's timing.

She couldn't help but sigh, "That means there are still a few months until then, an awkward period."

This timing is so awkward.

However, it's the perfect time for her to join a production team, but Zhao Liying isn't very popular right now.

Are you still going to take on minor supporting roles?!

Further increases are not expected.

unless
Hao Ru suddenly thought of Bai Ye and Jing Tian's previous publicity stunt, and she immediately asked, "Has Li Ying ever thought about doing that?!"

Hype?!
Zhao Liying was taken aback; she had indeed thought about this.

but
Seeing Zhao Liying's expression, Hao Ru had a better understanding of the situation and then slowly said, "You don't need to worry about this matter; you can pretend you don't know anything about it."

I'll handle everything. I doubt Bai Ye will say anything then, since you two are boyfriend and girlfriend.

I'm just using some information about the film crew to create hype, just like Bai Ye and Jing Tian did back then.

How about it?!"

After Hao Ru finished speaking, he just stared at Zhao Liying.

She knew that Zhao Liying's time to choose had come: whether or not to accept this publicity stunt.

This is definitely beneficial for Zhao Liying, and a great one at that.

"this."

"Liying, do you want to be famous?"

"miss you!"

Zhao Liying gritted her teeth; she knew what Hao Ru meant by asking that question.

Do you want to be famous?!

She's so desperate to be famous!

However, this kind of marketing will inevitably damage Baiye's image.

Previously, Bai Ye and Jing Tian had a huge scandal, and then he also had a publicity stunt with Liu Shishi.

If I were to interfere now, it's obvious that Bai Ye's three consecutive scandals this year would negatively impact me.

But she really couldn't help it.

It's not just about wanting to become famous.

More importantly, this is also an opportunity for Zhao Liying.

Is there a chance to test the waters and make things completely public with Bai Ye?

Does Zhao Liying not want to go public?!

She really wanted it so badly!
Firstly, after going public with Bai Ye, I can obtain some resources. In any case, some of the resources that come into contact with Bai Ye will definitely come to me.

Then, by leveraging Bai Ye's popularity, one can quickly gain attention.

Secondly, she can declare that she and Bai Ye are officially boyfriend and girlfriend.

That should be able to stop some people.

Even though some people knew that Bai Ye had a girlfriend, they still rushed towards him.

All of this, Zhao Liying saw only the benefits.

As her girlfriend, I didn't get to enjoy the hype surrounding my relationship with Bai Ye.

On the contrary, everyone else has completely absorbed the hype.

How could Zhao Liying possibly accept this?!

So when Hao Ru said those words, Zhao Liying already knew what she was really thinking.

Hao Ru confirmed Zhao Liying's idea, "Then you don't need to do anything after this, I'll handle the marketing for you."

Bound by the white night.

It's definitely a good approach now; the White Nights phenomenon is very popular online.

With "The Best of Us" having just ended, its rerun is generating a lot of buzz.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 also became popular for some reasons.

Baiye is incredibly popular right now.

Although Bai Ye wasn't the main character in Chinese Paladin 3, it benefited greatly from the popularity of the series, especially with the re-airing of the new Three Kingdoms.

The new Three Kingdoms series has received rave reviews, but the Battle of Red Cliffs segment is particularly well-received.

The mythology drama that aired at the beginning of the year is also on air at this time.

It's safe to say that every single TV series Bai Ye starred in is actually in the show!
Zhao Gao, Zhou Yu, Demon Lord Chonglou, Yu Huai.

With these four characters taking turns to bombard viewers, Bai Ye's popularity is truly high. Although it hasn't reached the top tier, in terms of popularity this summer, it's second only to Hu Ge.

Who can rival him?!
