Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 132 - I Want to See You and Those Years are scheduled for release!
"We'll collaborate again when the opportunity arises."

Chen Daoming patted Bai Ye on the shoulder, completely acknowledging Bai Ye's acting skills.

Later, when the opportunity arose, he thought he could try collaborating with Bai Ye on a film.

His acting skills are beyond question.

I had some doubts before that Bai Ye could play Xiang Yu.

After all, he is too young and may not be able to portray Xiang Yu's domineering presence.

But now I realize I underestimated Bai Ye.

"sure!"

These are some of the top-tier actors in mainland China right now; they're practically national treasures.

When cooperating with others in the future, I will not suffer any losses; in fact, I will benefit.

After all, his popularity was far inferior to Chen Daoming's, and Chen Daoming's national recognition was much higher.

"Okay, then we'll keep in touch more often!"

Chen Daoming nodded. He was actually aware of Bai Ye's acting skills and her steadily rising career.

Even without him, he would still be able to go very, very far, as expected.

He patted Bai Ye on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

But Chen Daoming was well aware that if Bai Ye's popularity and status rose afterward, it would be a significant boost.

It will be difficult to continue cooperating with Bai Ye.

If someone becomes popular, you can't just let them play a supporting role, can you?
That would at least be like it is now, so it could be considered a dual male lead story to some extent.

Often, once an actor reaches a certain level of fame, it becomes more difficult for them to collaborate.

However, my scenes are almost finished filming.

He also knew that if he didn't speak up now, it would be even harder to say anything later.

Let's talk to Bai Ye first, and then see if there's an opportunity for cooperation.

Many of the people around them who were listening to the conversation were incredibly envious.

That's a collaboration with Chen Daoming!

The two were originally going to collaborate on a dual male lead story, the Legend of Chu and Han.

Will we continue to collaborate in the future?
Chen Daoming only told Bai Ye about this.

As soon as she came off the field, Yang Mi muttered to herself, "You two are teaming up?! You're really going to take off!"

"Aren't I taking off the whole time right now?!"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that, it's so cheesy!"

Yang Mi thought about it again and realized that it was true; the other person seemed to be riding the wave of opportunity.

The key is whether "Someday or One Day" and "You Are the Apple of My Eye" will air.

"You absolutely must bring your honey sister with you from now on!"

Yang Mi muttered something to herself.

We must not forget ourselves.

The thought that Bai Ye and Chen Daoming might collaborate on a movie later on was exactly what he wanted to be involved in.

You can't get in touch with them in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, but you can get in touch with them by following Bai Ye?!

Why would I even bother signing the contract there myself?

Now that I found the person myself, I'm also going to have to share the money with them.

As for resources, they are just a few scattered bits and pieces.

Thinking about it, it's a huge loss.

"Sister Honey, I'll definitely bring her if I can, but we still have to see, since she only said it once."

"Of course I believe you! Speaking of which, that person is a new talent you signed?!"

Yang Mi refers to Sun Yizhou.

I saw the news before; Baiye Studio officially announced the signing of Sun Yizhou.

I brought them along to the production team right after signing the contract.

Of course, Yang Mi had more than just this question in mind; she also had some other thoughts.

"Tell me, isn't your studio's logic to sign new talent and then train them yourself?"

Yang Mi is quite shrewd.

She suddenly realized that running her own studio might be better for her!

"Well, it's about experienced people mentoring new ones. The studio can also transform later, but that's a matter for the future. If we sign some people, we can bring some out and generate revenue for the studio!"

"Honey, would you like to sign with my studio?"

Bai Ye didn't hide anything and directly explained the model of his studio.

Even if she didn't say anything, Yang Mi would have figured it out.

After all, that's basically how it's done in the industry.

After listening to Bai Ye's words, her eyes darted around, and she asked, "Bai Ye, I want to start a new studio, do you support me?"

For a fleeting moment, she was moved.

But then she thought about building her own.

Although she and Bai Ye are boyfriend and girlfriend, she prefers to separate her work and personal life.

If they are put together later, there might be more disputes.

After all, never work for a husband-and-wife company. This age-old principle has existed for so long for a reason.

She's not love-obsessed.

"Honey, you're going to do it yourself?! That's probably going to be pretty difficult, especially getting started."

Does she run her own studio?!
If Bai Ye hadn't had Jing Tian's help, he probably wouldn't have gotten off to such a fast start.

It could be said that he was able to succeed so smoothly because of Jing Tian's intervention.

Yang Mi wants to set up her own studio, and the initial stage will probably be the most difficult.

"It's alright, I think it should be fine. If we fail, I'll just bring my people and come to you for help!"

Yang Mi wanted to say, "Isn't Bai Ye there?"

I can rely on him.

But after thinking about it, she held back and didn't say anything.

Later, I can use my charm to ask for some small resources, but I can't be so direct about it.

Otherwise, even the best relationships will be worn down by your repeated opening of your mouth.

Yang Mi is quite sensible in this regard.

"Sure, we'll take in Heartbroken Yang Mi then."

"Go away! It hasn't even started yet, and you're already cursing me to fail!"

Yang Mi patted Bai Ye on the shoulder. Why was this guy cursing her?!

It hasn't even started yet!

"You two stop flirting here and hurry up and get ready to film the next scene. By the way, Bai Ye, do you want to ask for leave?"

Gao Xixi interrupted the two of them.

He'd really had his fill of watching from the sidelines.

Does it mean it doesn't exist?!

They still have a lot of scenes left to film.

Because many unnecessary scenes were cut from this film, and filming started earlier than scheduled, it is estimated that filming will be completed by the time the Lunar New Year next year is over.

Post-processing will likely take a considerable amount of time.

There are two more points: whether Bai Ye should promote "Someday or One Day" and "Those Years". If Bai Ye is going to promote "Someday or One Day" and "Those Years", then we need to give Bai Ye some time to promote them.

"unnecessary."

"unnecessary?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gao Xixi's eyes.

no? !
You're saying you don't need to promote yourself?

Both of you are main characters!
"Director Gao, we plan to promote the TV series online, so we won't be participating in any offline promotional activities."

Originally, most of my fans were actually online.

Secondly, regarding the movie, it probably won't be released so soon; it'll likely be around the Lunar New Year. "Someday or One Day" will air first, and "Those Years" won't be released until after "Someday or One Day" finishes airing. I estimate that by then, "Legend of Chu and Han" should also have finished filming.

TV dramas don't need promotion.

The main reason is that my relationship with Zhao Liying is somewhat awkward now.

I don't really want to share the stage with Zhao Liying. If the male and female leads can't share the stage, then there's no need for offline promotion.

Next up is the movie, but Cai Yinong will only do promotional tours for the movie.

The key is the results.

If the results aren't good, they probably won't increase investment.

As for why, it's because the Tang people didn't have that much money anymore.

Filming Scarlet Heart required a lot of money, and a lot of investment was made in the early stages of the production, especially since it was a movie.

There was actually a lot of internal opposition to this film.

Because Tangren lacked experience in film production, if it weren't for Baiye investing half of the budget, they probably wouldn't have even had a hard time allocating funds.

Of course, it was Cai Yinong who made the final decision.

But Cai Yinong also has to be responsible to the investors!
The budget for those years wasn't high to begin with, and Cai Yinong was just planning to piggyback on Liu Yifei's marketing.

The investment wasn't large, but the returns were significant. Who could blame them when Liu Yifei's recent dating announcement backfired, especially since they were the same type of people?
Liu Shishi and herself are both filming, so any subsequent promotion will probably have to wait until the movie is about to be released.

"That's true. If the movie is released around the Lunar New Year, you'll have almost finished filming by then. You guys are in such great shape; it wouldn't normally be possible to film this quickly!"

Gao Xixi nodded, agreeing.

Since it's already that time, there's naturally no need to ask for leave.

It's just that Bai Ye and his team did a great job, each of them filming incredibly fast.

That means it's a period drama. If it were a modern drama, it would probably be even faster.

After all, the scenario wouldn't be that complicated.

Yang Mi, however, was also somewhat surprised after hearing Bai Ye's words, "You're going to be in the Spring Festival film season?!"

"Well, I originally wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day, but then I thought about it and decided to do it earlier."

It's been scheduled for release.

The Spring Festival film season is for family viewing, so this youth film might be more successful if it were released on Valentine's Day?
The situation might be better during the Spring Festival, since there are large crowds. Although it's a family-friendly holiday, couples can still go out on dates.

The target audience for this movie was originally students. Students are on holiday during the Spring Festival, but they don't get a holiday for Valentine's Day!

So releasing it during the Spring Festival has its advantages, but the most important thing is the fierce competition.

The Spring Festival film season is generally a highly competitive period.

Cai Yinong also used some connections. Although Tangren has deep roots in the television industry, it still has some connections, which is why she was able to get the role.

Moreover, based on the scheduling issues that Cai Yinong told Bai Ye, her idea was quite simple.

Firstly, it's been too long since the dating announcement, so it's not a good time to use Liu Yifei for publicity.

And then I just want to see you.

Since "Someday or One Day" aired on January 1st, the Chinese New Year in 2011 was on February 1nd.

The popularity of the TV series, which has just aired, will draw fans or new fans of "White Night" to the cinema.

In addition, Valentine's Day in 2011 fell on the 14th.

There are only twelve days in between, which means that if the traffic generated during the Spring Festival is used up and word-of-mouth is built up, it might even boost box office revenue on Valentine's Day!

Choosing Valentine's Day might leave the box office for the preceding Spring Festival period empty.

From this perspective, the Spring Festival period is the obvious choice.

"Alright, good luck! If your movie is a success, then you'll have officially entered the film industry!"

Gao Xixi nodded without saying anything more, "Hurry up and film your scenes!"

Since Bai Ye doesn't need to ask for leave, then that's fine.

It would be great if they could finish filming the Legend of Chu and Han as soon as possible.

He felt that Bai Ye's career was already very successful. In fact, his popularity in the television industry had little to do with his movies.

There might be a fan economy, but the effect might not be particularly significant.

Ultimately, it depends on word-of-mouth, since fans are spending real money on this.

The fans will definitely support it the first time; if it flops, there might still be die-hard fans supporting it.

But after two failed attempts, it was basically a farewell to the film industry.

However, Gao Xixi thinks that even if Bai Ye were to be made into a TV series, it would be quite good.

Of course, I couldn't say such sarcastic things myself.

After all, making movies is something every actor wants to do!

Let Bai Ye and Yang Mi continue filming.

Aside from some minor battles and some campaigns to overthrow the Qin dynasty, there were other subsequent battles.

The priority is to film the storylines involving Chen Daoming and his group.

They didn't have many scenes to film, and the cast and crew were all in good shape.

There were relatively few takes, making filming easier for Gao Xixi.

After filming the scenes related to Liu Bang, Chen Daoming left the crew on the day he spoke with Bai Ye about collaborating, and then departed.

The next phase mainly focuses on filming the storylines of the Chu Kingdom's camp.

intermediate.

Zhao Liying did approach Bai Ye once; she was still somewhat unwilling to accept that there really wasn't any publicity at all.

Zhao Liying was very upset after being rejected by Bai Ye.

"Sister Ru, do you think it was really a good thing for me to create such a stir back then?!"

Zhao Liying could clearly sense Bai Ye's growing distance from her.

But deep down, I wanted to become famous.

On the other hand, I feel a sense of imbalance.

Why can all those women have affairs with Bai Ye, but I, his official girlfriend, can't?!

She was just releasing some vague information to boost her popularity.

What's bothering her now is that Bai Ye's attitude towards her changed instantly after she did that.

She couldn't say anything yet, because she was indeed in the wrong first.

But this didn't stop Zhao Liying from feeling somewhat depressed.

"It's both right and wrong. It's right because if you have an opportunity in the industry and don't seize it, you're a complete fool."

Our mistake was being too hasty; we really shouldn't have been in such a rush at that time!

Hao Ru sighed. "Did you say Zhao Liying was wrong?!"

She doesn't think so. In this industry, wouldn't it be foolish not to seize an opportunity?!
But if you say Zhao Liying is right, then there is indeed some truth to that; she shouldn't have been in such a hurry.

If we don't rush to do these things, we should be able to achieve the same result later.

We acted too hastily.

"But does this really mean there will be absolutely no advertising? Just online?"

Zhao Liying was somewhat unwilling, partly because she wanted to promote the product.

On the other hand, it was also because she wanted to try and reconcile with Bai Ye.

You won't even give me a good opportunity to meet in person?!
"Let's leave it at that for now. While publicity does have an effect, it won't be particularly significant. The key is still the quality of the show. If the show is very strong, then you'll start as a second-tier actress."

Don't forget that Jing Tian is a cautionary tale. All you need to care about then is the ratings and your online reputation.

The company will hire some online trolls to guide public opinion. As long as your performance in the drama is satisfactory, it'll basically be a success!

Hao Ru did not recommend that Zhao Liying contact Bai Ye.

We were too hasty in the past.

If we approach Bai Ye again now, won't it be the same?!
Therefore, it's best to suppress your thoughts for now and wait for the right opportunity to make your move.

They're in a bad mood right now. Going to meet them would just be asking for trouble!
"Alright, Sister Ru, I think this drama is definitely going to be a huge hit!"

Zhao Liying's eyes flickered.

She agreed with Hao Ru's assessment, and in her opinion, the show was destined to be a huge hit.

for sure!
As the lead actress, whether it was out of personal motives or because she felt the quality of the drama was definitely not bad, let's just say that she felt it was the best drama ever made!
