Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 127 - Yang Mi: Be with me!

"Forget it, asking is pointless!"

Yang Mi also realized that what she said seemed to have gone a bit too far.

It's true that she wanted to create hype with Bai Ye.

But asking Bai Ye this question at this time is not only difficult for him to answer, but what if he answers that he has feelings for her?!

Did he propose to create a publicity stunt with Bai Ye?

If that's the case, wouldn't it potentially make the situation a bit awkward for both parties?

And most importantly, this makes it hard for Bai Ye not to think that he wants to use Bai Ye.

So after thinking it over carefully, Yang Mi decided not to delve into the matter further.

"Look at what you're saying, Honey. How can this be considered asking for nothing? Fine, if you don't want to know, then forget it. Let's go eat!"

"."

He said a lot.

Yang Mi is numb.

This guy didn't say anything at all; Yang Mi thought Bai Ye was really going to tell her the first part.

Although Yang Mi had just considered giving up on caring about this matter.

But if Bai Ye insists on telling her, then she is willing to find out.

However, if Bai Ye doesn't tell her, then Yang Mi has no other choice.

They found a small restaurant next to the film set and ate something quick; Yang Mi didn't want to be photographed.

The main point is that being photographed at this point is meaningless. Even if the intention is to create a scandal, they should at least wait until the photos are taken more than enough.

What a waste of attention this is.

Yang Mi knows how to use her popularity to maximize her profits.

"Bai Ye, can this be considered our first official collaboration?"

In a small private room at the restaurant, Yang Mi spoke with great interest.

Although they collaborated once in Chinese Paladin 3, Xuejian and Chonglou didn't actually have many scenes together in the game.

Strictly speaking, this is actually the first time the two have acted together.

Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.

The previous hype surrounding Xuejian and Chonglou was indeed somewhat forced, but the pairing of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji is different.

"That's how it is, but does Sister Honey have some kind of amazing advantage in collaborating with me?"

Bai Ye nodded, but at the same time looked a little strange.

Judging from Yang Mi's appearance, people who don't know her might think she's already a hot commodity in the entertainment industry.

He admitted that he has been quite popular recently.

However, within the industry, he's only a second-tier star. Although he's practically on his way to becoming a first-tier star, being a second-tier star doesn't seem to be that desirable, does it?
"You don't know? Lots of female celebrities in the industry want to work with you now!"

Yang Mi looked at Bai Ye with surprise and confusion in her eyes.

no? !
Are you genuinely unaware or pretending not to know?
Hearing Bai Ye say this, Yang Mi almost thought that Bai Ye really knew nothing about this matter.

Saying
Bai Ye is currently a hot commodity in the industry.

While it's not that many people would want to work with Bai Ye, at least many actors like myself would like to collaborate with him.

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. With your recent collaborations, Jing Tian has become popular, Zhao Liying has also gained popularity, and Liu Shishi has been hyping things up with you recently, which has also frequently made it to the trending searches."

Yang Mi took a sip of water and then continued, "Your ability to trend on social media is something I really envy. As long as I'm even slightly associated with you, I'll end up trending on social media."

Do you know how much advertising money this can save?
Moreover, trending topics can actually be bought, although it's currently in the internal testing phase.

However, according to Jiajie, in the future, to get on the trending topics, you either need to have a lot of popularity, or you need to buy it or have it arranged.

Although I don't know if you'll still be able to get in in the future, right now, anyone even remotely connected to you can get in. How many people would want to work with you?!

Although Bai Ye's works are not many at present.

But it's very popular.

Moreover, Bai Ye's acting skills are excellent, as many directors and actors in the industry who have worked with him have said.

That person has good acting skills, popularity, and can even get others trending on social media, all they need is a good script.

If a story like "The Best of Us" is going to be a hit, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a flop.

This is why Yang Mi really wanted to work with Bai Ye.

How can we not cooperate?!

"Honey, you're being way too superstitious."

"People in this industry are a bit superstitious about these things, didn't you know that?!"

"I know, I know, but I'm just saying you believe in this too much."

Bai Ye was certainly aware that people in the industry were indeed very superstitious about these things.

Bai Ye had heard long ago that as long as you keep succeeding, resources in the industry will be readily available to you.

What is everyone's primary goal?!

make money!

You can keep succeeding, no matter what the reason is.

As long as you can maintain this, it doesn't matter to them.

What unspoken rules? Can anything be more important than money?!

As long as you can make money, the intricacies of the industry won't affect you.

Some people in the industry even go to certain places to buy trinkets or other items in order to gain fame.

This is enough to show that people in the industry actually believe in metaphysics.

He actually knew that it was most likely because of his own entry.

"I'll keep believing in you until you fail!"

Yang Mi spoke with conviction, and although Bai Ye said so, Yang Mi still held the same opinion.

It may sound a bit blunt, but if Bai Ye continues to succeed, then we'll believe it.

Because Bai Ye is different from everyone else.

Everyone else has powerful backers, but Bai Ye relies on himself alone.

"By the way, Bai Ye, does your studio have any self-produced dramas coming up? I'm willing to lower my fee to act in them!"

Although he and Bai Ye are currently collaborating on the Legend of Chu and Han.

But what she wants is more than just this collaboration in the Legend of Chu and Han.

Although Yu Ji has a significant role in the Legend of Chu and Han, her screen time is insufficient compared to the main characters.

What she wanted was something similar to "Palace," or "The Best of Us in the Day," where all the screen time was focused on the male and female leads.

Yang Mi still harbors resentment about not being able to collaborate last time.

Bai Ye had previously told me that as long as my acting skills were up to par, I would definitely be chosen.

As a result, they chose Zhao Liying, who was relatively unknown.

no! ?
Am I really inferior to Zhao Liying?!

Judging from the rumors that later emerged between Bai Ye and Zhao Liying, Yang Mi is now wondering if Bai Ye might be trying to seduce her?

"No, writing a script isn't that simple. Honey, you shouldn't lack resources, right? Didn't you sign with Hong Kong before? There are plenty of film resources there, aren't there?" If the system gave it to him, then Bai Ye would have it too.

Besides, even if he did have it, Bai Ye wouldn't just give it away like that.

The key is to have your own knowledge. As for writing it yourself, Bai Ye hasn't considered doing so yet.

He's not at that level right now.

And most importantly, according to Yang Mi, he also found it a bit strange.

Yang Mi should be going to film a movie at this time.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to sign a contract with a company in Hong Kong Island in the first place.

After all, if they don't sign contracts with people from Hong Kong Island for movies, what else could it be for?!

We can't possibly go there specifically for the other person's TV series, can we?!

That would be somewhat funny.

Therefore, in Bai Ye's opinion, Yang Mi's statement made no sense at all.

Of course, he wasn't sure what Yang Mi was really thinking.

Yang Mi, however, hesitated at this moment.

Just as Bai Ye said those words, she hesitated whether to tell Bai Ye about it directly.

But I'm worried that it's not a good idea to tell Bai Ye this.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Mi finally decided to tell Bai Ye how she felt. "Bai Ye, I actually regret it a little. I shouldn't have disobeyed you before."

Yang Mi admitted that she regretted it.

She kept thinking that if she had listened to Bai Ye back then and hadn't gone to Hong Kong, she wouldn't be in the same situation now.

"What?"

"Going there isn't something you can just take as you please. First of all, I have popularity in mainland China, but they don't value that there."

Although they have been trying to enter the mainland market for years, it's not impossible for them to act in movies if they want to rely on my popularity there.

But all I get are minor roles or small scripts; the good scripts are never available to me.

"They either cultivate their own people or they find those big names from the mainland. I was actually a bit too naive before. If you want to get resources without putting in the effort, do you think they'll give me any?!"

Yang Mi blurted all of this out in one breath.

I was already feeling a bit irritable, and I couldn't say these things to anyone else.

The main reason is that if I dare to say anything to my so-called good girlfriends, they will probably have something on me that they can use against me later.

If this gets back to the Hong Kong entertainment circle, I think I'll really be blacklisted there.

Therefore, she wouldn't be foolish enough to tell these women.

As for Bai Ye, that was the point that made Yang Mi hesitate before. If Bai Ye leaked the information, her own fate would probably not be good.

But then Yang Mi thought about it again and realized that she might be overthinking things.

First of all, Bai Ye isn't very close to the Hong Kong entertainment circle. You could tell from his previous analysis that he doesn't seem to like that area very much.

Then there's Bai Ye's character; she still believes in him.

Besides, Bai Ye wouldn't tell these things to outsiders, and since she was also feeling pent up, she told Bai Ye instead.

She was really annoyed.

If I hadn't signed the contract before, I might have been in a better situation in mainland China.

How can you get those good scripts without paying something in return?!

Besides, even if I put in the effort, there's no guarantee I'll get a good script.

Moreover, once you've made that investment, there will be a second and a third time, and then you'll be completely controlled by the other party.

Given a solution, Yang Mi wants to have some autonomy.

Although this is an unspoken rule within the industry.

"So, Honey, you're planning to come back and film a TV series?"

"Pretty much. I'll film TV series if there are any, but as for movies, I'll have to wait and see. But my current predicament is that I've signed a contract with Hong Kong Island."

"It's much more difficult for me to get involved with TV dramas here now, unlike before."

Yang Mi nodded. It was much more difficult for her to get involved in TV dramas now than before.

That's why they approached Bai Ye, hoping to create some buzz with him.

She felt that if her popularity increased further and she broke into the top tier, her predicament would be alleviated.

"Okay, we'll see if there's anything else later. Honey, you're such a good girlfriend."

"Okay then, if you want to make some rules, I'll go to your room after dinner!"

"Cough~ Honey, are you serious?"

“It really can’t be truer!”

Yang Mi looked at Bai Ye very seriously.

She's not spouting nonsense here.

Although the answer was given quickly, Yang Mi wasn't one to speak without thinking.

"To put it bluntly, I'd rather follow you than give the rules to those old geezers or ugly people. Honestly, please consider me."

Since you haven't gotten back together with Shishi, why don't you talk to me? Just give me some resources.

Although saying this might make you feel like I'm exchanging my body for something, you're handsome, so I'm not at a disadvantage.

And if we break up later, we'll go back to being friends. I'm pretty open-minded about it, and I won't bother you!

"And I have a great figure, much better than the ones you talked about before. Want to give it a try?"

Yang Mi made her point very clearly.

Her relationship with Bai Ye was just a transaction, and of course, she could maintain a respectable appearance afterward. Even after they broke up, she wouldn't pester Bai Ye.

Or, to put it another way, we can go back to the current state.

She had asked Bai Ye before if he was single. Since he was, then let's start dating. Love in the entertainment industry comes quickly anyway.

Maybe she and Bai Ye will break up after this filming is finished?

Moreover, his girlfriend Bai Ye is indeed a bit problematic.

The resources were given to Jing Tian first, and Jing Tian came with investment. The later promotion of this drama did indeed involve a lot of money from Lu Zheng's side.

Moreover, the show's release was largely due to Lu Zheng's help, so it was Lu Zheng who took the lead in making the first drama.

Then there's Zhao Liying.

Isn't Zhao Liying's situation quite obvious?!
Later, Bai Ye and Zhao Liying got together. At this point, Yang Mi thought, if Zhao Liying can be with Bai Ye, then she can be too!
And she feels she has a huge advantage!
At least she has a decent figure and looks.

Bai Ye is handsome, and even if it's against the rules, she'd rather be with him.

They broke up later, but as long as they don't have a falling out, they can still be like sister and brother.

Even if they completely break up in the end, Yang Mi can accept it. Aren't there plenty of breakups in the entertainment industry?!
So Yang Mi had thought everything through.

Even if the two didn't break up later, and even got married, that seems like a good possibility.

Later, he went back and signed with Bai Ye's studio, creating a celebrity studio, and then marketed the couple's persona.

Yang Mi felt that all of these things could be done.

That's why I spoke to Bai Ye.

Yang Mi still harbors some longing for love.
