Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 140 - Explosive Public Opinion: Inviting Tang Yan!
"This is really outrageous!?"

Sun Yizhou watched the online fan wars.

This is already a comparison between the original Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei.

Then came the infighting between the two sides' fans, followed by comparisons between the dating announcements and those from years past.

This is a comprehensive comparison.

Sun Yizhou has been paying attention to these things for a while now, and seeing them has given him quite a bit of emotion.

This fandom is truly terrifying.

"Old Bai, I can't even imagine how strong your fans' fighting power really is."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Bai Ye.

Sun Yizhou believes that Bai Ye is definitely one of the most combative fans on Weibo right now.

After all, he's become incredibly popular lately.

"On the contrary, I don't want to have so many fans."

"what?"

Sun Yizhou initially thought he had misheard.

This is a bit like Versailles, isn't it?!

What do you mean you actually don't want so many fans?!

Speaking of which, Bai Ye's current popularity and status are something that countless people can only envy.

"I'm making enemies everywhere. I'd rather my fans just quietly enjoy my work, so I don't really like interacting with them."

Many of Bai Ye's previous fans were acquired through hype.

So at that time, Bai Ye was also having a lot of headaches, as he was stirring up trouble everywhere.

This is also why Bai Ye didn't want to create any scandals later on.

One reason is this, and the other is that she no longer wants to use scandals to boost her popularity.

That saying is true: once a person reaches a certain status, they no longer want to look back on the path they came from.

While it might seem like a bit of forgetting one's roots, that's certainly not wrong.

He felt that he should just focus on creating good works.

"By the way, Lao Sun, you'd better not do these things again, or it might backfire."

"Old Bai, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say goes!"

Sun Yizhou nodded; he knew that this thing would indeed backfire on him.

Bai Ye is right. Focus on your work and avoid hype, even though Bai Ye has hyped things up several times before.

However, it did suffer a backlash, but Bai Ye cut it off relatively quickly.

"By the way, when will Love Apartment 3 start filming!?"

"It should be this summer vacation."

Sun Yizhou hesitated for a moment, then gave a timeframe.

The director hasn't confirmed it yet, but they've probably given us a timeframe.

"Are you going to make a cameo appearance?!"

Speaking of which, Love Apartment 2 is about to premiere.

They really emphasized Bai Ye when they were promoting it.

I just wanted to ride on Bai Ye's popularity back then, I never expected Bai Ye to become popular so quickly.

Now that there's an opportunity, the director will naturally seize the chance to market Bai Ye.

"No, I'm just reminding you that the company will be filming a TV series and a movie after the New Year. I don't know if there are any suitable roles for you in the movie."

Then there's the possibility that it might conflict with your TV series, so you might need to reconsider. For TV series, you'll need to clear a time slot for it.

I'll arrange a role for you then. It won't be a big part, but the show's ratings shouldn't be too low, and you'll get some screen time.

Baiye plans to film Pinocchio first.

He would ask Tang Yan if she had time when the movie was being promoted and released.

Tang Yan was quite popular during this period.

Make sure you know the other party's schedule. Even if you say you want to cooperate, the matter is still uncertain if it's not finalized.

"No problem, Sister Lin helped me with my schedule. You can ask me to act in anything!"

Sun Yizhou nodded, "Of course, there's no problem with that."

After all, shooting with Bai Ye is a great experience; you always gain something from it.

It's not just about popularity; Bai Ye also gives her acting advice.

Before, I always felt like Lu Ziqiao no matter what role I played.

Bai Ye was the one who corrected himself most of the time, even though he thought the character of Lu Ziqiao was quite good.

But Sun Yizhou doesn't actually want to be stuck in one role forever.

"Want to talk about TV series?! I think you should think about the movie right now!"

Lin Wan's voice interrupted their conversation.

She walked quickly into the studio, rubbed her forehead with a hint of helplessness, and said, "The internet is already in an uproar. Anyway, if this movie doesn't get good reviews or doesn't do well at the box office..."

I think you'll definitely be affected. What exactly is Cai Yinong marketing?!

In the end, Lin Wan couldn't help but complain.

She's been having terrible headaches lately!
Although we agreed to do marketing together, the marketing went a bit too far later on.

This directly dragged Liu Yifei's fans into the fray.

This great battle seems inevitable.

Look at what's trending on Weibo!

Leveraging the fact that both actresses had acted in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, Liu Shishi was packaged as an "upgraded version of Liu Yifei".

She used to be known as Little Liu Yifei.

Now it's an upgraded version of Liu Yifei.

Then there was a rational discussion: Has Liu Shishi surpassed Liu Yifei?
This post is clearly meant to incite conflict. Then, they hired online trolls to impersonate Liu Yifei's fans and insult those years, and even bought screenshots to trend on Weibo with the hashtag #LiuYifeiFansBreakingDown#.

Their fans aren't just sitting around doing nothing.

Your comparison is way too much!

Do you think people will just watch like that?!

That's impossible.
So if the movie doesn't do well in terms of reviews or box office, then...

Then let's just wait for the explosion.

It hasn't even started yet, but it's already showing signs of exploding.

"That's a bit too much."

Bai Ye randomly opened a topic on Weibo.

It must be said that they were indeed successful in those years, with their marketing efforts being ubiquitous.

It has to be said that involving Liu Yifei's fans did bring in a significant amount of traffic.

The key question is, how much of this is actually malicious traffic?
"There's nothing we can do, they have a grudge against each other. Look, even you've been dragged into it!"

As she spoke, Lin Wan opened a comment section and then held her phone screen in front of Bai Ye.

I was originally planning to go and support it, but with this marketing, it's better not to go. Only trashy movies would market like this!

[I feel the same way. I used to really like Bai Ye, but now I suddenly find myself disliking him!]

Why did I have to film so many movies with this woman who loves marketing?!

[Don't you know Bai Ye also loves marketing?! This guy is the king of marketing! Don't forget, his marketing campaign with Jing Tian was what ushered in the era of massive marketing on Weibo!]

[I suggest these two trashy people be tied together forever!]

There are still quite a few below.

There aren't many censored words, but even with a few, you can still see a fair amount of profanity.

Sun Yizhou was dumbfounded. "This fighting power is too exaggerated! Speaking of which, Lao Bai, are you going to respond?!"

Just as Lin Wan said, she really was dragged into this mess.

Isn't he going to respond at all?!
"Let's just ignore it. My response now will only make things more chaotic. Let's leave it as it is. Speaking of which, this is getting way too much attention. Even Ximen Qing from Water Margin doesn't get much attention."

This is marketing.
Bai Ye felt a pang of emotion. The Water Margin had already aired, released on January 1, 2011. When it came time for his character, Ximen Qing, to appear, aside from some passersby and fans, everyone else...

The recent popularity is really low.

It seems that everything was overshadowed by the feud between Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi back then.

"Look at the whole of Northwest Shanxi, it's all in chaos. Even though your Ximen Qing is someone who gets attention in the industry..."

The episodes you appeared in have the highest viewership ratings so far. While this is partly due to the storyline, it has also made the industry aware of your contributions.

I was originally planning to release a press release, but lately I feel it's no longer appropriate!

Lin Wan also felt it was a bit of a pity.

Just as Bai Ye said, not many people are paying attention to Ximen Qing right now.

However, if this battle continues, even the cameo appearances by Love Apartment might not attract much attention.

It must be said that this marketing campaign, while seemingly successful and attracting a huge amount of attention, was still quite effective.

However, whether it can be converted into a marketable product in the future is also a question.

"Forget it, let's not market this. After all, it's not a positive role. If no one pays attention, no one pays attention."

I'll call Tangtang first, then we'll proceed with the movie's promotional process as usual!

I've recently given up on marketing.

It's clear that the controversy surrounding Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi won't dissipate anytime soon.

Cai Yinong wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Having already come this far, she wasn't afraid of offending Liu Yifei even more severely.

As for Liu Yifei, she was naturally unwilling to be trampled on to rise to the top, and of course she would continue to fight back.

It seems likely that the two sides will temporarily cease hostilities at some point, but at present, the possibility is not very high.

Since that's the case, he should probably take a break for a while.

"Are you really planning to invite Tang Yan?"

Lin Wan asked.

Although the two collaborated once in Chinese Paladin 3, this is their first collaboration as the lead actors, right?
Bai Ye recently finished writing the script for Pinocchio.

The script is of pretty good quality.

The author modified some of the points that were criticized in the novel "White Night".

Therefore, in Lin Wan's view, this script would be perfect for resource exchange. If she approached Jing Tian, ​​she wouldn't lack money or resources later on.

If Bai Ye is now transitioning to film, then she can also be associated with Jing Tian.

Going to Tang Yan would actually be a bad deal.

However, the key is still what Bai Ye thinks.

If Bai Ye really wants to collaborate with Tang Yan, that's fine too. After all, Bai Ye provided the script and funding, so it seems like there's no problem for him to collaborate with Tang Yan.

Sun Yizhou will definitely be assigned a role.

After all, besides Bai Ye, the studio only has Sun Yizhou as an artist.

"Just ask. If she doesn't have time, that's fine. After all, it's definitely not possible to invite Sister Mi now, she's not available either."

Yang Mi is unavailable, and Liu Shishi definitely cannot be invited.

Then there's Jing Tian, ​​who is actually a very good choice.

However, when working with Jing Tian, ​​he actually found it hard to stand her intense gaze.

He didn't know who was behind Jing Tian, ​​but judging from the way Jing Tian looked at him, he wasn't stupid.

If something were to happen, if she had someone backing her, wouldn't all of my achievements be ruined?

Zhao Liying?!

Then cooperation is even more impossible!

There's also Bai Bing, but I don't have time for Bai Bing either, and if I were to work with the older sister, she'd probably try to seduce me again.

So from this perspective, it would be suitable to hire Tang Yan.

The two knew each other, and Tang Yan had been talking about it for a while, so he wanted to work with her once.

The main reason he wanted to see the potential of other actors' acting skills was after he discovered that term.

"Alright, you handle it then!"

I have a feeling that Bai Ye's intentions aren't quite right!

He gets a girlfriend for every movie he films.

Are you planning to break up with Yang Mi?!
just
These siblings, who have such a close relationship, went from being siblings to lovers. If they break up, can they go back to being siblings?
Lin Wan was actually quite curious as well.

"Tangtang, why don't you go to Taiwan for a while?!"

Qiu Ze looked at Tang Yan with some eagerness. He had been staying in the mainland for a long time recently because of Tang Yan.

When they were filming "Summer's Desire," there was already some ambiguity between them, and he felt that things were about to get serious.

Since both of them were currently free, he decided to take Tang Yan on a trip together, which would be a way to finally settle things down.

Although the two didn't explicitly discuss it, the situation was pretty much settled.

"I"

Tang Yan also hesitated.

The main problem is that it's almost Chinese New Year, and if we go there now, we'll definitely have to spend the holiday there.

But recently I have indeed had some time to relax.

After the New Year, I'll be back to doing business.

Thinking of this, Tang Yan was about to agree.

The phone rang the next second.

Upon seeing who it was, a hint of surprise flashed across Tang Yan's face.

"white night!?"

"Sister Tangtang, I have a TV drama script here and I'd like to invite you to play the female lead. Are you interested?!"

"This"

Bai Ye bypassed his agent and went directly to him?!

Tang Yan hesitated for a moment, as she had just agreed to Qiu Ze's request to travel to Taiwan for a while.

But after hearing Bai Ye's words, she became conflicted again.

I've always wanted to collaborate with Bai Ye, but if I agree, this trip definitely won't be possible, right?
When will filming begin?

Tang Yan asked a question.

She admitted that she did want to collaborate.

She has fallen behind Liu Shishi and Yang Mi in popularity.

If this continues, won't they be the ones to trample on me?

Even though they're friends, I don't want to be trampled on by them!
"After the New Year, but if you agree, you might need to put in a lot of effort, because the female lead in this drama has some features that you need to practice."

The protagonist of Pinocchio is all about a comeback story, and his success is absolutely inseparable from the female lead's performance.

Park Shin-hye's performance perfectly captured the essence of the Pinocchio heroine, but Bai Ye couldn't guarantee the same for Tang Yan.

"Okay then, I'll talk to my agent first!"

"no problem!"

hang up the phone.

Tang Yan looked at Qiu Ze apologetically, "I might need to think about that."

"no problem!"

Qiu Ze smiled politely, though he was a little annoyed that Bai Ye hadn't called earlier or later to make an appointment.

Ironically, just as he invited Tang Yan on a trip, he called to ask her to film a movie.

He also knew that Tang Yan might not refuse this opportunity.

After all, Bai Ye is currently a popular young actor in mainland China, and Qiu Ze is really envious!

This guy has only been in the industry for two years, but his rise to fame is incredibly fast!
Actually, he felt more than just envious; he also felt sour and jealous.

Which celebrity wouldn't want to be like Bai Ye?

Why do I feel so awful?!
