Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 108 - Launch Press Conference: Does Senior Sister Have Feelings for Me?
"Don't look at me, pretend I don't exist!"

Lin Yufen was numb.

When she saw Bai Ye's pleading look, she immediately cleared herself of any wrongdoing.

no? !
Is this the time for you to come to me to resolve your relationship problems?

This has little to do with me!

Ultimately, it was Bai Ye's own fault for not managing her emotions well, even though they had already broken up.

But Liu Shishi found out about you at this time.

So, it seems reasonable for someone to ask you that, right?

Besides, what would I be if I joined this conversation at this point?!

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!

"What? Is it hard to answer? Or do you think Zhao Liying is prettier? After all, you only just broke up."

Liu Shishi felt that she might have been a bit too sharp in her words.

But it's really hard not to resist.

After breaking up with Bai Ye, she no longer hoped that Bai Ye would wait for her.

But don't let yourself know you're in a relationship!

You can just secretly fall in love.

Now that she knows, Liu Shishi feels she can't let it go without saying something.

"Senior Sister, do you know what this saying is?"

"what?"

Liu Shishi narrowed her eyes, though she didn't know what Bai Ye was going to say.

But I always felt that Bai Ye couldn't say anything nice.

"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, the front waves die on the beach, and the most exciting thing is always the next one!"

"."

white night?!
Are you looking for death?!

Lin Yufen stared wide-eyed at Bai Ye in disbelief.

I was thinking that Bai Ye might not be able to answer.

If there's really no other way, then I'll just speak up and then arrange the press conference.

After all, it's about to begin.

However, after Bai Ye gave that answer, Lin Yufen knew that she couldn't change the subject either.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Liu Shishi's eyes twitched slightly, and she asked with a smile, "So you mean I, the old guard, have already died on the beach?!"

"No, I mean you're a rising star now. Look, Jing Tian's makeup and styling is for my first time filming a youth film, so it might be a bit unfamiliar."

Then Zhao Liying said that she has made progress, which means she has become more skilled.

Now, with Senior Sister, I've truly mastered everything!

Nonsense!

What kind of twisted logic is this guy spouting!

Hearing Bai Ye's nonsensical answer, Liu Shishi felt a wave of exasperation, but for some reason, she felt quite good.

Even if it's fallacy.

But at least what Bai Ye meant by saying that he was a member of the younger generation?
But
Something sounds a little off.
Liu Shishi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt there was something strange about what Bai Ye had said.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong with her.

Aren't I my ex?!

It seems like they were easily fooled by Bai Ye.

The question he asked was about feelings, but Bai Ye's answer was about the role.

After Liu Shishi realized what was happening, she didn't want to ask any more questions.

After all, it's enough to say it once; if I keep saying it, it'll seem like I'm taking it too seriously.

This is somewhat undesirable.

Moreover, she was in a good mood; at least in Bai Ye's heart, she felt somewhat special.

"Ahem, you two are done talking? If you're done, then go to the press conference!"

Lin Yufen coughed lightly.

I initially thought Bai Ye was courting death.

I didn't realize I was being so naive; Bai Ye wasn't just courting death at all.

I had just thought of the second level, assuming Bai Ye was on the first level, but it turns out he was on the first level.

However, it seems that Bai Ye has also handled this matter well.

Lin Yufen glanced at the time; it was almost time to attend the launch press conference.

This time, Tangren (the company) took it quite seriously and put together such an event.

After informing Bai Ye, Bai Ye had no reason to refuse.

On the one hand, it's novel.

On the other hand, since Tangren is paying for and putting in the effort for this promotion, why not spend their own money and come along?

"Senior Sister, I'm all better now, how about you?!"

"Ah."

We'll have plenty of time to talk later.

Liu Shishi was not in a hurry.

Let's join the crew with Bai Ye first, and then decide how to get along with Bai Ye after we've figured out our own ideas.

I'm still feeling a bit lost.

This time, she didn't tell anyone how she felt.

The main reason is that it's not really appropriate to say anything before things are confirmed.

At the press conference.

When Lin Yufen arrived at the press conference with the main cast, Bai Ye (who was dressed in a school uniform), and Liu Shishi, the start of filming was announced.

At that moment, the reporters' camera shutters quickly focused on the two of them.

What a perfect couple!
Liu Shishi has relatively few modern dramas, such as this campus drama, and this is her third collaboration with Bai Ye.

When Liu Shishi appeared at the press conference in her school uniform, her youthful, beautiful, and pure appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

As for White Night?
Hmm. Although there is a slightly different scent, Yu Huai's shadow still lingers on her.

"The Best of Us" is still being rebroadcast recently, and we get to see Bai Ye in her school uniform again.

It wasn't actually that amazing.

In the drama "With You", I was truly amazed when I first saw her.

At that time, the White Night school uniform even became a trending topic.

That day.

It also made countless students realize that school uniforms are not ugly at all; what's really ugly is themselves when wearing the school uniform.

Bai Ye, on the other hand, watched the rather well-organized press conference.

Cai Yinong has really put in the effort.

The press conference venue was decorated in a retro classroom style, with a blackboard displaying the message "Welcome to Class 3, Grade 12".

The desks were piled high with props, textbooks, and paper airplanes.

Bai Ye and Liu Shishi appeared in blue and white school uniforms, with Lin Yufen, Cai Yinong, and the main creative team in attendance.

The audience was packed with media, all focused on the interaction between the two.

The reporters immediately began their investigation upon seeing the person arrive.

The rumors surrounding Bai Ye and Liu Shishi a while ago were quite terrifying.

Even the "Geng Geng Yu Huai" (耿耿于怀) pairing was suppressed.

Many of the reporters who come here are there to ask about the scandals. After all, if you want traffic, gossip is indispensable.

A young man wearing glasses was the first to ask a question: "Bai Ye and Liu Shishi were once a couple on screen, but they haven't worked together in real life for a while."

"And since you've mostly acted in period dramas before, won't it be awkward to work together again this time?"

The reporter's question was fairly standard.

The question was also about Bai Ye and Liu Shishi's collaboration.

Their collaboration dates back to the new Three Kingdoms period.

However, this collaboration doesn't seem to have lasted very long?!
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. "Senior Sister always said I was a NG (no good) and held everyone back. This time, I have to prove myself."

As he spoke, Bai Ye turned to look at Liu Shishi, "Right, Shishi-jie?"

He was actually just teasing Liu Shishi on purpose.

After all, he didn't know how to answer that question.

Liu Shishi pursed her lips and glanced at Bai Ye, trying to suppress a laugh. She teased, "He used to turn red from ear to neck when filming kissing scenes, but now he's gotten thick-skinned."

As soon as she finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

Liu Shishi paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Actually, the sense of missed connection between Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi in the script requires us to portray a state of 'familiarity yet estrangement,' and this sense of distance is just right for the character."

In Liu Shishi's view.

This collaboration is actually quite good, at least in the current familiar yet unfamiliar state.

It seems quite suitable for the male and female leads in the movie.

Both of them were feeling a bit down.

Why does everyone have to bring up their own stories of turning red from ear to neck during kissing scenes?

This seems to have become a dark chapter in my past.

If I remember correctly, Yang Mi brought it up before, then Tang Yan, and now Liu Shishi has brought it up too.

This won't work!

Besides, he doesn't have a thick skin at all!

This doesn't make sense!
Fortunately, the reporters didn't seem to dwell on this issue for too long.

Instead, they shifted their focus to movies.

"The original novel contained controversial plot points, and the film version removed the vulgar scenes. Are you worried about losing the essence of the original work?"

There were original novels in those years.

Naturally, some reporters had done their homework before coming here.

This novel has a small following in Taiwan.

Although it's practically nonexistent here.

However, the adaptation by Tangren, the casting of current youth film stars and Long Kui, and the recent appearance of Bai Ye and Liu Shishi together...

That perfectly fitting image also made many people feel a little more hopeful about those years.

Lin Yufen took the microphone: "We have retained the impetuousness of youth, such as Ke Jingteng's naive impulse to organize a fighting competition."

At the same time, it also adds some richer emotional storylines. Of course, regarding those plots, although there may be some impulsiveness during adolescence.

But I don't think it's necessary to be that impulsive!

Lin Yufen also took the initiative to take on the task of revising the script.

The main concern is that if problems arise later, I'll just take the blame myself.

"What do you think, Bai Ye?!"

"Me?" Bai Ye was a little surprised, then glanced at the reporter who asked the question and continued, "A good youth film should not only be about the passion from the perspective of boys, but also about the struggles of girls when they have crushes."

I don't think this revision will lose the essence of the original work. The essence of the original work is actually the regret of youth, not these things!

If this reporter continues to ask about the essence of those years...

It seems that those vulgar scenes are going to become the essence of this movie.

"Bai Ye, you were just exposed for having a relationship with Zhao Liying, and then you immediately started filming a romance movie with Liu Shishi. Aren't you afraid of being accused of using this for publicity?"

really
Upon hearing this question, Bai Ye knew that it was bound to come.

The rumors between me and Zhao Liying have cooled down quite a bit recently.

But only a short time has passed, so it's impossible that there haven't been any questions from reporters.

However, Bai Ye was quite frank: "Movies require the audience to empathize, but my collaboration with my senior sister is purely for the purpose of serving the work."

As he spoke, Bai Ye glanced at Liu Shishi, "Besides, I chickened out as soon as she glared at me. How could I dare to do anything reckless?"

you?
Persuaded?

When Liu Shishi heard Bai Ye spouting nonsense, she immediately slammed her fist on the table in feigned anger after Bai Ye mentioned her, saying, "Everyone here is my witness, if he does more than three takes, the boxed lunch and chicken leg are mine!"

Liu Shishi knew about Bai Ye's recent scandal.

They were also willing to change the subject for Bai Ye.

After Liu Shishi said those words, the atmosphere at the scene immediately eased up considerably.

The reporter then returned to the main topic, including the many actors that Tangren Media had cast in "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

Cao Guosheng was played by Sun Yizhou, recommended by Bai Ye; Xie Minghe was played by Hao Shaowen; and Xu Bochun was played by Lin Genxin, who had just signed with Tangren Media not long ago.

Huang Bo was cast as the man who marries Shen Jiayi in the later part of the story.

Hu Ge had a minor role in this movie, playing the man among the couples Shen Jiayi sees outside the window.

The cast is actually quite impressive.

For a youth film...

After all, the market for youth films in China is not actually that big right now.

But the Tang people, you know.

Although the film industry is still in its infancy, it has benefited from the success of Chinese Paladin 1, Chinese Paladin 3, and various TV series.

Naturally, I had some expectations for them since it was my first time working with them.

After the press conference ended, the spotlights gradually went out. As Bai Ye bent down to adjust the collar of his school uniform, Liu Shishi suddenly reached out and brushed away the fallen ribbon fragments from his shoulder.

Her fingertips brushed against the skin of her collarbone, causing Bai Ye's eyelashes to tremble slightly. She looked up and met her eyes, which held a sly smile. "You just said I glared at you? You bought me my late-night snack on set!!"

Liu Shishi hasn't said anything else yet.

I even helped Bai Ye out of a tight spot before!
At the corner of the corridor, Lin Yufen, holding a storyboard, raised an eyebrow at Cai Yinong: "Did you see that? Just now, Shishi's earlobes were so red they could bleed, but she insisted on pretending to be calm."

Bai Ye, on the other hand, touched the other person's hand three times while handing over the microphone—young man, indeed.

Before she could finish speaking, Cai Yinong shoved a piece of chewing gum into her mouth, saying, "Let's pretend we didn't see anything, so they don't put on airs and act like strangers again."

and"

Cai Yinong yo
Lin Yufen secretly wanted to laugh.

You were the one who caused their breakup, and now you're the one trying to bring them back together.

You're really quite contradictory!
After watching Bai Ye and Liu Shishi walk further and further away, she didn't say anything more.

In the dressing room, Bai Ye loosened his tie in front of the mirror when his phone screen suddenly lit up.

A message bubble from Liu Shishi popped up on the lock screen: "[The second button on your school uniform is crooked. Remember to stand downwind of me when we're filming the first scene as punishment in the hallway. Your shampoo smells so alluring.]"

Looking at Liu Shishi's message, his fingertip hovered over the cold screen for a long time.

In the end, I replied with a grinning emoji.

Um.
Liu Shishi helped me today, so I shouldn't offend her.

Moreover, Bai Ye wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Liu Shishi was being somewhat ambiguous with him now.

Previously, Liu Shishi seemed to have been somewhat restrained in her attempts to get close to him.

After she found out she was single, she became much bolder.

And it's not just this matter; there's another strange thing about him.

That means Liu Shishi hasn't considered getting back together yet, but she's still maintaining an ambiguous relationship with him.

This woman's thoughts...
Could it be that she has other ideas about me?!
