Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 126 - Yang Mi: Do you have feelings for me?
"Thinking about it this way, it seems like my scandals and hype are never going to stop, at least not this time."

After realizing what had happened, Bai Ye was no longer as optimistic as before.

But then he thought of something else.

"Sister Lin, what do you think I'd say if I had a playboy nickname?"

correct!

Isn't your biggest worry simply your reputation?!
What if I had been in the ruins from the beginning?

It seems like we don't need to think about these things anymore, right?
"This isn't exactly a good reputation, but there's one advantage: you're on the ruins, so your fans will automatically cover for you, and any relationship problems won't be like those of other people."

Once a relationship is announced, there will be a loss of fans, since the remaining fans are already "purified" (i.e., those who have already made their way into the fanbase).

It's impossible for them to unfollow you just because you revealed your relationship; on the contrary, it might even attract some new fans.

But
The downside of doing this is that you might find it harder to cultivate a pure female fanbase later on? These fans are incredibly fierce!

Lin Wan then analyzed the pros and cons.

The advantage is that Baiye is situated on ruins, and as long as he doesn't violate morality or the law...

People will be quite tolerant of him then.

The downside is that Baiye will lose some female fans.

It is well known that these female fans are extremely powerful.

Just like now, Bai Ye has a lot of female fans, and that's the advantage of being handsome.

"Sister Lin, I'll announce my relationship sooner or later, so let's just let nature take its course."

"Hmm, that's one way. Let the fans accept it themselves. Aren't you going to establish a persona?"

Lin Wan nodded, agreeing with the matter.

However, she was also a little curious.

When Bai Ye said that, was he already no longer planning to establish a persona for himself?
Whether it's the domestic entertainment industry or the international entertainment industry.

Celebrities always need to create a persona for themselves. No matter how elaborate their behind-the-scenes activities are, having this persona on the surface makes marketing easier later on.

If Bai Ye abandons the idea of ​​establishing a persona, she will suffer a lot in terms of marketing later on.

"Isn't this a character setup?!"

Being a playboy in the entertainment industry isn't exactly a good persona.
Lin Wan's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything.

His persona is dangerous, but also effective.

If Bai Ye tries to establish a pure and innocent persona, and it's discovered that she has a string of relationships behind the scenes, then that persona will definitely fall apart. Once it's exposed, she will lose countless fans.

But let's talk about that later.

This time, Gao Xixi hasn't even decided whether to do marketing.

Although I knew this was probably a done deal.

"Do as you say."

As Bai Ye's agent, Lin Wan did not try to control his thoughts, mainly because he did not grow up on his own.

There's no way to control it.

Moreover, in Lin Wan's opinion, she didn't need to control Bai Ye; their current way of getting along was perfectly fine.

Actually, judging from Bai Ye's situation, it would be appropriate to create a playboy persona at this time.

After all, Bai Ye has a history of falling in love with every film she makes.

It's highly likely that this will be exposed later.

Liu Shishi, Bai Bing, Zhao Liying, and then Liu Shishi again in those years.

This will likely involve further publicity stunts with Yang Mi, as the two had already done so once before.

The Legend of Chu and Han will most likely be used by Gao Xixi to hype up the two of them again.

This really gives off a prodigal son vibe.

So why not just establish such an open and honest persona first?

"Alright, Lao Sun, wait a moment, I'll ask Director Gao about the situation!"

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he went to the side to make a phone call.

Looking at Bai Ye's retreating figure, Sun Yizhou's face also showed some emotion.

He felt that it was rare to see someone who would actively create such a persona for themselves, at least in the Chinese entertainment industry.

On the other side of Bai Ye.

I chatted with Gao Xixi about joining the production team and also talked about Yang Mi.

Gao Xixi had no intention of deceiving Bai Ye and directly revealed her plan.

The point is to create hype about Bai Ye and Yang Mi's rumored relationship.

This kind of hype is cheap and effective.

Gao Xixi was, of course, very happy to do so.

"Director Gao, I can cooperate with the hype, but it can't go too far. However, I do have one request."

"Okay, you say."

Gao Xixi was somewhat surprised.

I originally thought Bai Ye might be a little resistant to hype.

But since Bai Ye has said so, he wants to hear what benefits Bai Ye is prepared to offer in exchange for this hype.

"Director Gao, I have signed a new talent to my studio and I would like to bring him into the crew to play a role. It doesn't need to be a big role, just a small one."

"No problem, if it's just one role, you can just bring it with you!"

Gao Xixi thought it was something else entirely.

If it's just a role, and not a very big one, then Gao Xixi won't have any problem.

At worst, they can just cast a minor character or a supporting role.

Somewhat surprisingly, Baiye has already started signing new talent.

It seems that Baiye Studio is developing very quickly.

"Okay, thank you very much, Director Gao."

"It's alright, it's mutually beneficial. Just remember to join the crew on time from now on!"

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ye nodded. "It's settled. Director Gao has agreed, and we should be able to get the script soon."

Is this the benefit of signing a contract?!
Sun Yizhou felt he had never acquired resources so quickly before.

Usually, you find a production team yourself, audition first, and then wait for news.

Now it's just a matter of one sentence, and then I'm on the team.

Although it's not a very big role, the feeling is really different.

"Old Bai, I've got it all."

"Don't say anything sentimental. You're now part of my studio, so it's not a problem for you to bring your own people along. Just focus on filming when you get the script."

Sun Yizhou is now working in his own studio.

The more famous he became, the more money Bai Ye earned.

Actually, Bai Ye doesn't really want to do commercial performances. If possible, he would sign a few people later, take them to find resources, and let them do commercial performances to maintain the operation of the studio and make money in the future.

He said he would focus more on filming.

He had taken on so many commercial performances recently that he was starting to feel nauseous.

After making arrangements for Sun Yizhou, Bai Ye went to find Lin Yufen to edit the video.

As a film, and a coming-of-age film at that, the post-production process for those years was relatively simpler.

And it's both Lin Yufen and Bai Ye.

Both of them edited youth films before, so they were naturally quite experienced in this area.

After a brief discussion about what should be kept, the two spent the next period of time editing.

Until Bai Ye was about to join the crew, more than half of the footage was left for Lin Yufen to edit.

Bai Ye joined the cast of "Legend of Chu and Han".

The production team for the Chu-Han Legend series was assembled long ago.

When Bai Ye joined the cast, many of the actors, except for Chen Daoming, were quite moved upon seeing him. This was especially true for the cast of the original "New Three Kingdoms" series.

Many of the actors in "Legend of Chu and Han" actually worked with Gao Xixi in "New Three Kingdoms" and were then brought in to film "Legend of Chu and Han".

Therefore, many of these people had some feelings about it.

When the new Three Kingdoms was being filmed, Bai Ye was on the same starting line as them, or even somewhat behind them.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, Bai Ye's popularity has already surpassed theirs by many levels.

"Bai Ye, you've finally arrived!"

A hurried voice reached Bai Ye's ears, and at the same time, Yang Mi quickly walked to Bai Ye's side and patted his shoulder.

Yang Mi has been on set for a day or two now.

Yang Mi was a little bored because she arrived too early and Gao Xixi was busy filming other people's scenes.

This is not
Upon hearing that Bai Ye was coming, Yang Mi immediately came looking for him.

"Sister Honey, I'm here, and then what?"

"And then, of course, it's filming!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him, realizing she had been waiting for Bai Ye for a long time.

Many of his scenes are with Bai Ye.

So if Bai Ye doesn't come, she won't be able to film at all, especially since she had already asked Gao Xixi before.

Gao Xixi said that he wants to film the story of Liu Bang and his group first, and his own story can only be filmed after Bai Ye arrives.

Then she'll have to wait?!
"If we're going to film, it'll be tomorrow."

[Ding! Host has been cast as Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, in the Legend of Chu and Han. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the entry: Hegemon-King of Western Chu.]

【Xiang Yu the Conqueror】: This entry is based on Xiang Yu. You will gain a subtle level of Xiang Yu acting skills and a slight boost in domineering presence. When playing quirky, high-strength, or emperor-type roles, you will receive double the acting bonus, while also slightly increasing box office and viewership ratings.

A notification sound came from Bai Ye's ear.

The moment he stepped into the film crew's studio, Xiang Yu's entry was activated.

Bai Ye had thought of this term before. Judging from Xiang Yu's situation, it was most likely a boost to his combat power.

From this perspective, he's quite similar to the Demon Lord Chonglou.

However, there is one more emperor-type character.

But considering it's Xiang Yu, it makes sense.

Xiang Yu is also the only person who was not an emperor but was included in the annals of emperors.

Yu's divine bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages.

So if we round it up, it seems that it can also be applied to this.

"Why do you seem to have a completely different aura?!"

Yang Mi gave Bai Ye a strange look.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like Bai Ye has a bit more domineering aura about him.
Hmm. Overflowing with domineering aura?

Yang Mi's eyes darted around, and she didn't know what she was thinking about Bai Ye.

"Really? Honey, you must have misread it."

"Hmm~ Who knows? How about you treat me to a meal?"

Yang Mi didn't dwell on it, although she did feel that Bai Ye's situation was a bit strange.

But she didn't think much of it.

If she continues talking, the two of them will probably become increasingly distant very quickly.

This is not what Yang Mi wants to see. She should go have a meal first, and then chat about some friends' matters.

"Outside?"

Bai Ye had just arrived at the film set, but since he had nothing else to do, he didn't really care.

I was also hungry.

But if we go outside...
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of having rumors about me?"

Yang Mi knew perfectly well what Bai Ye was worried about.

Isn't this guy just worried about getting a scandal with me?!
Not
So you're starting to dislike it now?

"Honey, it's not a good thing for us to be having an affair right now!"

Bai Ye shrugged, not bothering to hide it.

At this point, having Yang Mi and him have a rumored relationship is not good news for either of them.

"I know, and besides, I don't do publicity stunts. It's just a meal. You're not scared, are you?!"

"Honey, you're playing with fire."

Bai Ye looked at Yang Mi's fox-like expression.

She said she wouldn't engage in hype, but look at Yang Mi's expression.

Perhaps they don't care about hype.

"Black and red are still red, right? By the way, I have to ask, you're single now, right?!"

Yang Mi doesn't actually care about being famous or infamous.

As long as it becomes popular, that's fine.

Even knowing that going out to eat alone with Bai Ye at this time would greatly increase the chances of being photographed.

After all, the two are already quite popular.

Once it's captured on camera, the media can spread whatever rumors they want.

However, Yang Mi is willing to engage in hype with Bai Ye, but there is one thing she feels she must ask clearly.

That is, is Bai Ye single?

If Bai Ye has a girlfriend, wouldn't I be the other woman?!
This hype has turned him into a clown.

"I'm single."

"Okay, so be it. If we get caught, we get caught. At worst, we'll just turn this fake relationship into a real one. Tell me, was there ever a moment when you felt something for me?!"

Yang Mi's eyes darted around, and she immediately asked.

Being single is great!

If you're single, then you don't need to worry.

"Honey, you wouldn't be after me, would you?!"

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Bai Ye's expression turned strange. He felt that Yang Mi seemed a bit odd.

When I was with Yang Mi before, she would never have asked me these questions.

"A little bit, after all, if we were to officially announce it, it would definitely generate a lot of buzz."

Yang Mi didn't say whether she liked him or if it was just for the sake of making an official announcement.

In short, Yang Mi has some ideas.

She also wanted to talk to Bai Ye about this.

After all, I must have thought about this later.

She was really envious.

Jing Tian and Bai Ye were promoted to second-tier status through hype, even though their works contributed to this.

Then there's Liu Shishi, who also benefited greatly from her publicity stunt with Bai Ye. Next is Zhao Liying, whose scandal with Bai Ye didn't bring her much success.

However, Zhao Liying's subsequent rumors, both true and false, also attracted considerable attention.

This made Yang Mi extremely envious.

She and Bai Ye have such a good relationship, they can just make a fake official announcement later.

Everyone else can do it, but I can't?
"Honey, I knew it! Looks like I need to be more careful!"

"Hey?! What's with that look?!" Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Bai Ye's guarded expression, then continued, "You still haven't answered my question: Do you have feelings for me?"

"Honey, I have these thoughts about you every night before I go to sleep, but they disappear when I wake up. They just disappear again when the sun rises the next day!"

"Die!"

Yang Mi couldn't help but curse as she listened to Bai Ye's teasing.

This guy.
She wanted to know Bai Ye's thoughts, but he just brushed her off like that?
