Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 149 - The Palace is a hit, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi are about to have a fight?
Am I about to become famous?!

apartment.

Yang Mi clutched her lower back, looking at the ratings in disbelief.

The premiere of "Palace" achieved a viewership rating of 1.99.

Do you know what the viewership ratings were for the premiere of Chinese Paladin 3?
1.5%
The drama "The Myth" achieved a 3.13% viewership rating on its premiere, but this was broadcast on CCTV.

Moreover, CCTV has high hopes for this drama, and there was a movie version of it based on the older brother's previous work.

Therefore, the viewership rating is very high.

Then, what was the best of us ratings? 2.5%
This drama, which propelled Jing Tian from obscurity to a second-tier star in the Chinese entertainment industry and also brought her fame through "Bai Ye," and which Lu Zheng invested heavily in promoting, only saw 2.5% of its initial episodes air.
Then there's "Someday or One Day," another drama that made Zhao Liying a breakout star.

The premiere episode had a viewership rating of 2%.
This drama can be said to directly prove that Bai Ye carries others to higher ranks, which is why he later gained the title of "King of Carrying Girls in the Chinese Entertainment Industry".

Because he's really good at making things popular!
But for Yang Mi, what mattered was that the premiere ratings for "Palace" were 1.99%.
It's the same as wanting to see you.

The drama "Someday or One Day" was a phenomenon, while the ratings for "Palace" were similar to those of "Someday or One Day".

This inevitably made Yang Mi quite excited.

She knew very well that she had made the right gamble with this drama!

Although she had previously said she was optimistic about Gong's performance, it was all a lie to say she wasn't worried.

With such high ratings for the premiere, especially during the Lunar New Year holiday, if the content doesn't falter, this will definitely be a huge hit like "Someday or One Day".

Yang Mi, ignoring her own back pain, helped Bai Ye up.

"Honey, you should lie down, your back is so bad."

"Leave me alone, let me get excited on my own!"

Yang Mi ignored Bai Ye and instead looked at the online comments about herself.

She's currently surfing intensely.

The premiere of "Palace" was a success, and now many people are congratulating themselves.

Yang Mi knew very well that if this drama continued to be a hit, she would definitely be able to break into the top tier.

Once you're on the front lines, it means you can finally let go of the things you were worried about before.

Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, and Jing Tian are the people I'm focusing on, even if they later collaborate with Bai Ye.

Although others caught up one by one, even Tang Yan, Liu Shishi and Bai Ye had collaborations, and Jing Tian followed suit.

Zhao Liying has fallen behind.

However, Yang Mi originally thought that these three people would steal her resources, so it was fine if Zhao Liying fell behind; it would just mean one less competitor.

Moreover, Yang Mi has never really put her heart into these people.

This means that Bai Ye will be cooperating with them in the future, so she inevitably has some worries.

She always wanted to trample Liu Yifei under her feet.

After all, Yang Mi still harbors some resentment towards the title of "umbrella-carrying maid" from back then.

Besides, they cooperate with Bai Ye, so why shouldn't I?!

Bai Ye had previously said that he would collaborate with him and make him famous throughout Asia.

Although Bai Ye might just be bragging, she was still quite looking forward to this collaboration with him.

At least so far, the actresses who have worked with Bai Ye have all had pretty good careers.

"I'm finally going to be famous!"

Yang Mi was both sighing and replying to messages.

As I was talking, I suddenly realized that my back pain had stopped and my legs weren't tired anymore.

"Don't move, I like the feeling of being on top!"

Yang Mi pressed Bai Ye down directly; she was in a very good mood.

I feel like I'm full of energy.

At the same time, he was also filled with the joy of his drama's successful premiere with high ratings.

She wanted to return victorious and completely defeat Bai Ye in this matter.

"Honey, take it easy. You'll probably be busy with promotions soon, so I won't have time to take care of you. I'm telling you this in advance!"

"Who do you think I am?!"

Yang Mi let out a low shout, feeling that Bai Ye was seriously underestimating her.

I swear today I'll make Bai Ye pay.

They actually underestimated themselves.

"Sister Honey?"

Bai Ye looked at Yang Mi with some confusion, then held up three fingers.

Um.
I'd only ever heard that it was awkward for men to compare numbers, like three.

Now he's making a three for Yang Mi.

Then I saw Yang Mi's embarrassed expression.

He can only be handsome for three seconds.

What I just said is now being slapped in the face.

Yang Mi was incredibly embarrassed.

"Well, I'm not feeling well today!"

Yang Mi coughed lightly, vowing that she would go to the old Chinese medicine doctor to get some medicine after today.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't dare to face Bai Ye.

"Oh, by the way, if you're leaving later, remember to keep your voice down, I'm a little tired."

"."

Bai Ye watched as Yang Mi silently turned her back to him.

That's a pretty good excuse.

Bai Ye shook his head and chuckled. Yang Mi couldn't help but laugh when she heard the chuckle behind her, but she managed to hold back the next second.

Forbearance!

Yang Mi felt that she really had no confidence at all when facing Bai Ye.

"Well, I'm off then, Sister Hami. Congratulations! I'm going back to rest now. The roadshow is about to start. Goodbye, Sister Hami, take good care of yourself!"

Watching Bai Ye's retreating figure, Yang Mi sat up after hearing the door close, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

what!

That's not what I thought before!
However, it was agreed beforehand that Bai Ye would leave.

After the movie premiere, Bai Ye stayed with herself.

The two of them basically didn't go out, and she knew that Bai Ye would start preparing for the promotion tomorrow.

So Baiye will leave tonight.

After Bai Ye left, she didn't rest; she took out her phone and continued watching.

The data is in: a 1.98% viewership rating and an 8.35% market share for the premiere.
Very impressive data.

Meanwhile, on February 1st, the ratings rose again, reaching 2.07%, and the market share also reached 2.07%.
The viewership ratings did not drop on the second day; in fact, they increased.

This completely relieved Yang Mi. At this moment, Zeng Jia called, "Mi Mi, this TV series is going to be a hit! Hunan TV is going to give it a big push!"

Moreover, judging from online reviews, this drama is excellent and has a very good reputation. Although there are quite a few negative comments, it has already won in terms of viewership ratings!

Zeng Jia also had some feelings about it.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mi actually forged her own path.

She's doing very well now. It has to be said that if she hadn't come to the Hong Kong entertainment industry, she could have developed even better.

Zeng Jia knows that Yang Mi is now with Bai Ye.

That means Yang Mi definitely won't accept those unspoken rules.

After all, Yang Mi doesn't need to. If "Palace" becomes popular, her popularity in mainland China will definitely rise to a new level.

As for resources, Bai Ye has resources, and he can bring Yang Mi along.

Even if Bai Ye doesn't currently produce resources, as long as he's willing to mentor newcomers, he can bring Yang Mi along to join the production.

This is the current popularity of Bai Ye, and the benefits of his mystical abilities.

Because they consistently make people popular, there will inevitably be people who continue to believe in it; the entertainment industry does indeed believe in metaphysics.

As long as Bai Ye doesn't fall down, people will be waving money around and asking him to invest.

Therefore, Yang Mi doesn't need to get involved with the Hong Kong entertainment circle anymore.

I'm just waiting for the contract to end so I can go straight back to the mainland.

Although Yang Mi didn't tell Zeng Jia about this, Zeng Jia roughly knew that Yang Mi really wanted to focus her work on the mainland.

But it was precisely because of this that Zeng Jia felt somewhat uncomfortable.

I only had Yang Mi on my team to begin with. What would I do if Yang Mi came back and joined Baiye Studio?

She didn't want Yang Mi to leave her, but the current situation seemed to indicate that Yang Mi was considering leaving her.

This felt very unpleasant. But she couldn't say anything, since she could only rely on Yang Mi.

She used to want to control Yang Mi, but if she couldn't control her in the future, she could only continue to work as Yang Mi's manager.

After all, without Yang Mi, what is she?!

Even without her, Yang Mi still has plenty of places to go.

Especially after the palace was destroyed, and especially after she fell in love with Bai Ye.

"Sister Jia, is there anything I can do to assist with the follow-up?"

Yang Mi was also very anxious.

After all, he had finally become popular again, and this time he was the lead actor.

If it becomes popular, it won't be like the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, where the one who benefits the most isn't the one who gets the most.

Yu Zheng needs to cooperate, and of course she will cooperate with the publicity.

"Post some Weibo posts, and it would be best if Bai Ye could help you promote it. After all, that guy is currently the most popular person on Weibo. Anything related to him will become popular. And offline promotion should also continue."

correct
You should be able to get things done with Bai Ye, right?

Zeng Jia also knew about the relationship between Yang Mi and Bai Ye.

So if I were to do this myself, it would be a matter of official business, and I would have to handle it officially.

If Yang Mi comes, it will be a private matter, and the two parties can resolve it privately, which is much better than resolving it on your own.

Bai Ye's popularity on Weibo is undeniable.

If you want to interact with him now, you might have to pay him.

And they might not even interact with you.

The people interacting with Baiye are usually people they know or their fans.

"No problem. I'll talk to Bai Ye about it. I'll just give Gong a simple recommendation. I'll also promote those years in return. It's a win-win situation!"

It just so happens that "Those Years of Baiye" is about to be released, and I will use the popularity of the palace staff to promote "Those Years of Baiye".

Although this benefited Liu Shishi, she wasn't helping Liu Shishi, but only Bai Ye.

She couldn't let Bai Ye help her for nothing. When she asked Bai Ye for resources, she felt shameless, but considering they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and that he had offered her resources himself.

Then let's cooperate. That's something Bai Ye can help me with, regardless of whether Bai Ye actually wants to cooperate or whether he just sensed my anxiety.

Before the broadcast of "Palace", Yang Mi was very anxious.

But after Bai Ye did this, she stopped being anxious. Now that the palace was in turmoil, she couldn't pretend that what Bai Ye had said and done before didn't exist.

She also wanted to do what she could for Bai Ye.

She needed to at least give Bai Ye the impression that she wasn't clinging to him and sucking his blood, and that she could stand up for him if necessary.

"Alright, you two can discuss your own affairs and I won't interfere. I'll handle things with Yu Zheng later. There are other program announcements and endorsements, and they've already expressed interest in contacting me."

With the immense popularity of "Palace," Yang Mi is sure to make a fortune this time.

That's how the entertainment industry is—the winner takes all.

Bai Ye then asked Yang Mi to talk to him.

Bai Ye will recommend "Palace" to Yang Mi when it's released, and Yang Mi will recommend "Those Years" when it's released.

Sitting next to Bai Ye, watching him write on Weibo, Liu Shishi pouted and asked, "You two are really fast, Yang Mi pursued you, right?!"

"Senior Sister, I am indeed very charming."

"Pah! Who said you were so charming? You're actually dating my rival! What?! Between me and her, who do you prefer in that area?!"

After Liu Shishi finished asking her question, Bai Ye, who had just taken a sip of water, choked instantly and spat it out. "Cough, Shishi-jie, what kind of indecent words are you saying?"

what's the situation? !

Liu Shishi came up and said something that I didn't know how to answer.

Who does he like more?!

Bai Ye was indeed thinking about it seriously. Seeing his earnest expression, Liu Shishi playfully slapped him and said, "You really want to? I was just asking casually."

"I don't care about that, and don't worry about what I'll say about you. Anyway, she'll be popular now, unlike me, who's almost washed up and needs her for publicity!"

Liu Shishi said she was a little nervous during the first half of the speech.

Thinking that Yang Mi's figure was better than hers.

She didn't dare continue the topic, so she changed the subject, her tone tinged with sarcasm.

She also knew that Yang Mi's "Palace" had recently become a hit.

It's ironic that she has to promote this.

"Senior Sister, isn't this drama similar to the one you recently filmed?! I heard that your CEO Cai was throwing a tantrum at the company before."

Bai Ye didn't mention this matter either.

At this point, it would be foolish to blindly follow Liu Shishi's lead.

However, when talking about the palace, Bai Ye thought of Liu Shishi's current drama, Scarlet Heart.

These two seem to be quite similar, don't they?
Anyway, I heard from Liu Shishi on the phone that Cai Yinong was furious and accused her of plagiarism.

"Indeed, Sister K is quite angry, but the point of her anger is probably Zheng, but Yang Mi is also a bit involved, since this drama is obviously somewhat similar to Scarlet Heart."

As for plagiarism and such, that's not something I'm thinking about. Anyway, "Palace" definitely stole the spotlight from "Scarlet Heart."

Liu Shishi also felt a little sorry.

If "Scarlet Heart" were airing now, I would be the one reaping the benefits.

The drama "Scarlet Heart" won't air until much later, long after "Palace" has already aired. Whether it will be able to capitalize on the popularity of the show is anyone's guess.

After all, this is the first drama series about time travel to the Qing Dynasty!
She had even planned out how Yu Zheng and Cai Yinong would fight.

They all claim to be the originators of Qing Dynasty time-travel dramas, while the other side is a knock-off!

Furthermore, Yang Mi and Cai Yinong had some disputes. Yang Mi did not want to sign with Tangren Media, and after that incident, Cai Yinong even issued a blacklist order, telling people in the industry not to use Yang Mi anymore.

When Yu Zheng found out, he probably asked Yang Mi to star in the drama, which almost made Cai Yinong furious.

The feud between the two continues, with Yu Zheng calling Cai Yinong a perpetual mistress on Tieba, and Cai Yinong retaliating by saying she's been bitten by a snake today.

Not only did they scold Yu Zheng, but they also dragged Yang Mi into it.

In any case, the conflict between the two sides has always existed.

Liu Shishi knew all of this; it was all stuff that happened in the industry, and everyone could probably guess who was behind it all.

After all, we're all in the same circle; it's just that we can't talk about it openly.

"So what are you going to do?"

Liu Shishi suddenly changed the subject and turned the conversation to Bai Ye.

What will Bai Ye do next?!
So, Bai Ye and Yang Mi are together now, right?!

"What should I do?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and asked, "Senior Sister, are you talking about how to choose between me, President Cai, and Yang Mi, or even between you and Yang Mi?"

Bai Ye knew that Liu Shishi was definitely on Cai Yinong's side.

If things start to fall apart, it will probably be the same; at most, they'll remain silent, but they might also join the fray.

In short, Bai Ye is now facing a difficult choice.
But it seems like choosing his current girlfriend might be a better option, right?
"Regarding the matter between you two, if she comes to me, I will help her, but I will not help her tear you apart."

"Thank you."

Liu Shishi responded softly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

At least Bai Ye wasn't completely on Yang Mi's side, and he was also on Yang Mi's side.

If Bai Ye doesn't protect Yang Mi at all, then she feels that Bai Ye is being too heartless towards his girlfriend.

But if Bai Ye completely protects Yang Mi and tears into her, Liu Shishi will feel somewhat hurt and heartbroken.

So her thoughts are actually quite complicated.

However, Bai Ye's current approach is what she thinks is the best.

But.
"Sometimes, I feel like I'm being a bit too greedy. I want you to be ruthless, but I don't want you to be so sentimental, Bai Ye. I know I'm selfish, but please forgive my little bit of selfishness."

Liu Shishi lowered her head and murmured something, knowing that she was being somewhat selfish.

Although she knew that she and Bai Ye were exes, she still wanted to be special to Bai Ye because of their promise.

"Senior Sister, why are you saying such nonsensical things? I wouldn't hurt my friends for my lover. At least we're friends now, aren't we?"

"Ah."

Liu Shishi nodded and didn't continue the topic.

Bai Ye's meaning was simple: if Cai Yinong and Yang Mi had a falling out, and Yang Mi sought his help, he would definitely help mediate.

But it won't hurt you.

This guy.
You don't think I'd be sad, do you?

"Uh"

What does Liu Shishi mean by this?
Bai Ye was somewhat surprised; he found Liu Shishi's behavior rather odd.

Liu Shishi herself knew that Bai Ye was a womanizer, but she was afraid that Bai Ye would really be devoted to Yang Mi, in which case she would be completely out of the game.

Wouldn't I become a clown for making that promise with Bai Ye?!
