Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 153 - The Suicide of Love, and the Question of Support Again!
"Senior Sister, you've arrived."

"Shishi, your movie..."

"."

Listening to the flattery from those around her, Liu Shishi felt a pang of emotion.

After the movie became a hit, those people who were already quite polite to me before are now even more polite.

"Wow, Shishi is amazing!"

Wu Qilong offered his congratulations.

I was also quite moved. Liu Shishi's performance was something no one expected during this year's Spring Festival film season; such a youth film had unexpectedly emerged.

His words also carried a hint of earnestness.

Actually, when he first met Liu Shishi during their previous collaboration, he liked her quite a bit.

However, he hesitated somewhat, after all, he was quite a bit older than Liu Shishi.

If I were to pursue her myself, I don't know if I would be rejected.

However, he is still in contact with her, mainly because he thinks Liu Shishi is really nice and has a good personality.

"Thank you."

Liu Shishi responded with a sentence, and although her tone was normal, Wu Qilong felt that it was a bit too bland.

He wasn't sure if Liu Shishi really had no feelings for him at all.

Previously, after hearing the rumors about Bai Ye and Liu Shishi, Wu Qilong felt that his chances of winning against Bai Ye were not high.

She's currently at the peak of her popularity, box office appeal, and even her looks.

How can I compare to them?!

With a wry smile, Wu Qilong felt that his chances weren't very high, but he was also somewhat unwilling to give up.

Before Wu Qilong could speak, Lin Genxin popped out with a dog-like manner, looking at Liu Shishi with a silly, goofy expression and said, "Shishi-jie, how was my performance in the movie?! Wasn't it alright?!"

Lin Gengxin starred in "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

Although he was just a supporting actor, Lin Gengxin did have some screen time, though there was a suspicion that he was trying to ride on the coattails of the box office.

But if you're shameless enough, you could even say that you starred in a movie that grossed 600 million.

Moreover, this film performed well at the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even overseas.

Maybe I'll even gain a lot more overseas fans after this?!
Lin and Xin are from the same company as Liu Shishi, so he is one of the few people who know that there may be an ambiguous relationship between Bai Ye and Liu Shishi.

After all, we could tell when we were filming together.

Of course, Lin and Xin need to cultivate a relationship.

That means you can only get to know Liu Shishi better, since you're from the same company.

"Your performance isn't getting much discussion online!"

"."

Heartbroken!
Lin Genxin's lips twitched slightly. Hearing her words, Lin Genxin didn't know how to respond for a moment.

no? !
While that's true, since the highlights of the movie were all focused on the male and female leads, Liu Shishi's words made him feel terrible.

Lin and Xin suddenly found themselves unable to bring themselves to talk about Bai Ye, something they had originally intended to discuss.

It's numb, really numb.
Liu Shishi's mouth is like it's been poisoned since she came back after the New Year.

It wasn't like this before!

I have a feeling that something happened during the Chinese New Year.

Could it be that Bai Ye and Liu Shishi broke up?!

Not
How could they break up?!

Maybe I'm just overthinking it?
Thinking about this, Lin and Xin had some ideas. It seemed that for now, it was best not to provoke bad luck, whether it was a breakup or something else.

In short, it has nothing to do with me.

When gods fight, common soldiers suffer; I should stay far away.

The box office success of those years.

Aside from a few people who were happy, some were quite upset.

Looking at the comments on Douban, Liu Yifei instantly lost her spirit.

Youth is a torrential downpour that can never be relived, setting an insurmountable benchmark for Chinese-language youth films with its near-perfect quality.

It doesn't have melodramatic plots like abortion, car accidents, or terminal illnesses. Instead, it uses delicate strokes to depict the regrets and emotions that everyone has experienced in their youth.

The story of Ko Ching-teng and Shen Chia-yi is so moving precisely because of its imperfections; those missed moments due to naivety, misunderstandings, and low self-esteem ultimately become eternal pain points that permeate their lives.

The performances of Bai Ye and Liu Shishi breathed life into the film.

Bai Ye portrayed Ko Ching-teng's naivety, passion, and inferiority complex with distinct layers, especially the scene of him forcing a smile after the fight, which made the audience feel both sorry for him and amused.

Liu Shishi dispelled the criticism that her "eye acting was weak." Her explosive performance in the rain-soaked argument scene was amazing. When she scolded Ke Jingteng, her tears flowed naturally, as if she wasn't acting, but tearing open the old wounds of her youth.

The chemistry between the two actors even blurred the lines between on-screen and off-screen relationships for the audience, as evidenced by the fan's question at the premiere: "Did you develop feelings for each other in real life?"

I take back what I said before about all domestic youth films being terrible. It's true, comparison is the thief of joy!
After watching those years, I think back to the dating shows I watched before, and wonder who was really trying to take advantage of whom.

Does Liu Yifei even have acting skills?!
And most importantly, compared to the heartfelt stories of those years, the exaggerated plot of this dating announcement is simply...unbelievable!!

Looking at the film reviews one by one.

Many of these comparisons even involve bringing up dating announcements.

Liu Yifei's head was throbbing from looking at it.

That's all in the past now, isn't it?
Why drag yourself into this?
"Sisi, you should spend less time online these days."

Liu Xiaoli sat to the side, looking at the comments, and finally turned off her phone.

She also had a headache from looking at it.

The main issue is that Liu Yifei's previous relationship announcement failed, which is already a given.

After all, it's something you just have to endure for a while and then it will pass.

But it is different now.

Because of the mutual attacks they made over the years, it's basically common knowledge.

Anyway, many people in the industry are waiting to see Liu Yifei make a fool of herself.

Now things are much better; the achievements and reputation from those years have exploded.

Looking at it this way, the dating announcement was immediately outshone by the other person.

She also felt a little sorry for him.

His own daughter has suddenly become the target of online criticism again.

"I don't have a mother, I can still handle all of this."

Liu Yifei shook her head; she was somewhat upset after reading it.

But she's not the kind of person who's too sensitive to accept something like this.

She didn't go to see it back then, but Shu Chang did.

Liu Yifei wanted to go see it at that time, but she held back.

The main concern is that if I get photographed, I'll likely be finished, since both sides have been releasing negative press releases against each other.

If that gets photographed, the media will probably make a big deal out of it.

So Liu Yifei didn't go, but Shu Chang did. After watching the movie, Shu Chang told Liu Yifei about it, and at that time the box office was already incredibly high.

She already knew she had lost.

So we were prepared long ago, but we didn't expect the box office to be so explosive.

"Sigh, why is this movie so magical?! Is it also a youth film?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little confused. It wasn't a big investment or a big production, and there weren't any big stars involved.

The box office was surprisingly high, with a return on investment of sixty times, which shocked the entire industry.

Even Liu Xiaoli is still somewhat shocked.

Investing in movies is really profitable.

An investment of ten million yielded a return of six hundred million, although in the end only two hundred million could be distributed, and taxes had to be deducted.

But this is still a huge profit!

Two hundred million!

How many films does Liu Yifei need to make to earn that much?!
They made a profit from their investment immediately.

"Mom, how can that be the same?! Isn't it all said online?! My acting is bad, and the script is terrible, what else could it be?"

Liu Yifei was even more frustrated.

Originally, Liu Yifei didn't want to talk about it, but after Liu Xiaoli asked, she had no choice but to say it even if she didn't want to.

Doesn't she know why?!

What's said online isn't wrong, is it?

It's okay to admit that you're not as good as others. Although Liu Yifei was very upset, there was nothing she could do.

"Sisi, don't worry, we'll find some big-budget productions and wash away today's shame!"

"Mom, I don't think it necessarily has to be a big production. You can see from those years that a 10 million investment yielded a 600 million return. I think as long as the script is suitable, it's fine."

Liu Yifei had a sudden thought; actually, she just wanted a good script.

This movie taught Liu Yifei a lesson.

They're all based on the same theme, but the popularity and star power of the celebrities on our side are higher than in previous years.

But in the end, they still couldn't win.

"No way! Taking on these small scripts will only lower your status. You have to take on big productions!"

"."

Liu Yifei opened her mouth, but many words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

A sense of powerlessness also gave Liu Yifei an indescribable feeling.

Liu Xiaoli seems to always be committed to working with big stars and only accepting big productions.

"Sisi, I know what you're thinking, but these kinds of things are low-probability events. After all, how many times have you seen someone win big with a small investment?!"
You should be focusing on big-budget productions. Besides, taking on random scripts will lower your status, and once that happens, it won't be easy to rise again!

Liu Xiaoli patiently and earnestly tried to persuade her.

Liu Yifei always felt that something was wrong.

But in the end, he didn't say anything more.

Actually, she also felt that Liu Xiaoli's words made sense, and she only thought so because she saw the success of those years.

But upon closer reflection, Liu Yifei also felt that a small investment was indeed a gamble.

"I know mom."

"Alright, stop thinking so much. Go film 'The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen.' After that movie, I've also got you a role in another film, 'The Four Great Constables,' directed by Chen Jiashang. Can these two movies be any worse than youth films?!"

Liu Xiaoli offered a word of comfort.

As for Liu Yifei, there's still one film, A Chinese Ghost Story, waiting to be released.

Then I immediately joined the cast of The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen. After filming The Legend of the Feast at Hongmen, I took a break for a while, took some gigs, and then joined the cast of The Four Great Constables.

Historical films are the mainstream in the market right now!

After listening to Liu Xiaoli's words, Liu Yifei inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Yes
Why think so much? She doesn't need to worry about this; it's just a temporary setback.

"Bai Ye, you're really hot lately! Don't forget me when you become rich and powerful!"

"Honey, you don't have to talk like that. Speaking of which, your songs 'Love's Suicide' and 'Ask for Support' are quite good, and they go toe-to-toe with 'Those Years'!"

White Night Studio.

Bai Ye made a joke.

Bai Ye will be joining the production team after today.

Yang Mi also came to see him; she will be joining the film crew soon.

Although the two will collaborate again, it will be near the end of the year, and the earliest it will be during the summer vacation.

So Yang Mi is also taking on a role at this time, and we probably won't have much time to see each other after she joins a new project.

Yang Mi is very popular recently.

Palace is truly a phenomenal TV series.

The drama "Palace" won over audiences with its novelty but failed due to its flawed plot logic. Although it enjoyed high popularity, its reputation did not improve in the later stages.

But this show is really, really popular.

The highest single-day viewership rating exceeded 2.52, with an average viewership rating of approximately 2.48-2.50.

Moreover, the ratings were very high, and thanks to this drama, Yang Mi became a top-tier actress.

But that's it.
Bai Ye said that it was one thing for the show to be a hit, but when the song "The Power of Love" was mentioned, Yang Mi couldn't hold back any longer and pretended to raise her hand, saying, "You're asking for it!"

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
Yang Mi admitted that she had been putting on an act before. What was Yang Mi thinking back then?
At first, she thought she could be like Bai Ye, but she never expected that "The Offering of Love" would become so popular and go viral.

However, Yang Mixiang didn't foresee this situation that went viral.

"Honey, you're really willing to hit me?"

"I'm talking to you! And you're still telling me this? You're a real superstar now. You had such great achievements back then. I thought I could become a top star."

That would give me an edge over others. Although I can't compare to Liu Yifei, my popularity is currently quite high, except for a few others.

"You've really gone too far, getting dragged down by Liu Shishi. And who knows, Tang Yan might be too later."

Yang Mi is really feeling down.

Liu Shishi took off.

Lately, she can almost picture Cai Yinong's smug face.

This movie is a collaboration between Tangren and Baiye, so if I didn't get the lead role...

Unless she signs with Tangren Media.

If she had known about this movie and the state of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, she would have been better off signing with Tangren Media for three years!

At least for now, this movie is mine.

Although it's a bit underhanded, Yang Mi thinks that's how things are in the entertainment industry!

"What do you mean I brought it on, Honey? The script for this movie is pretty good. I just made some changes, so I only played a small role. Besides, aren't we going to be working together later on?!"

"How about we collaborate on a movie?!"

"."

Bai Ye's mouth twitched.

This movie is something you can just collaborate on whenever you can!
He suddenly realized why Yang Mi had suddenly come to find him.

"I knew it! You're here to get your hands on that movie!"

Yang Mi knew beforehand that she had a collaboration with Jing Tian.

The reason I came to see him this time was for the movie.

"Please?! If you agree to this request, I'll agree to one of yours. Whatever you ask for, I'll grant it!"
