Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 157 - After announcing the endorsement, it's trending again!
"How embarrassing."

As Bai Ye spoke, he took the things that Liu Shishi handed him.

He truly hadn't expected that Liu Shishi would actually prepare a gift for him.

This makes me feel like I'm not doing so well either.

After all, they had prepared gifts, while I came empty-handed.

"You can open it after I leave. I'm going now!"

Seeing Bai Ye's hesitant expression as if he wanted to open the package, Liu Shishi spoke up.

She'll be going back to the film set after filming.

After waving goodbye, Liu Shishi got into the car.

Sitting in the car, looking at the white night getting further and further away through the rearview mirror, Liu Shishi felt a little emotional.

It seems that I'm in a pretty good mood every time I see Bai Ye.

The agent glanced at Liu Shishi in the rearview mirror but ultimately said nothing.

As someone who witnessed their story firsthand, she knew very well what exactly happened between them.

They've already broken up, and I still can't understand what Liu Shishi is doing.

If you still like her, why not go after her?

If you don't like it, why can't you let it go?!
I always felt that Liu Shishi became a bit strange after those years.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye, who was in her own nanny van, also opened the gift that Liu Shishi had given her.

Inside the gift box was a small box of neatly folded paper stars.

"Boss, you really have a lot of luck with women!"

Beside her, the assistant, who was driving, glanced subconsciously at the gift in Bai Ye's hand at a traffic light.

After seeing what it was, she was somewhat moved.

I never expected them to be little stars, and they even look like they were folded by hand!
"You can tell that?"

Bai Ye, however, became interested.

A stack of stars is enough to tell if peach blossoms are good?!
How did she figure that out?!

"Boss, you've dated so many people, you really... oh... I get it, with a face like yours, I don't think you really need to put your heart into these things!"

The assistant was about to complain.

But then I thought about it again and realized that my boss didn't need to know any of this and didn't need to put any effort into it.

why? !

Isn't it just because their boss is handsome?!
With that face, there's no need to actively pursue her; in fact, she possesses a strange and inexplicable charm.

With the added bonus of a cleavage, isn't this the quintessential real-life domineering CEO?
The red light turned green, the assistant shifted gears, started the car, and stared intently ahead while muttering, "Boss, think about it, Shishi is a celebrity."

And she's a top-tier celebrity, so she definitely has money. If she wants to buy you a gift, isn't that easy?!
She can afford to buy you slightly more expensive things, like watches.

But she gave you these little stars, which she folded herself. They represent her feelings, and maybe these little stars have some deeper meaning!

From Liu Shishi's perspective.

She's already very busy with work, and every day after filming, she still has to fold little stars for Bai Ye.

Aside from work, all his thoughts were on Bai Ye.

"You think so."

Bai Ye stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and felt that it made sense.

Bai Ye put down the little star in her hand, picked up her phone, and sent Liu Shishi a thank-you text message.

Keep this safe!

Liu Shishi quickly replied to Bai Ye's text message; it seemed she had been waiting for Bai Ye's message all along.

Looking at the little star, Bai Ye turned to his assistant and said, "Take me home. I'll leave this at home first. I'll take a day off tomorrow, so you can rest at home too."

"I'll go to Anta the day after tomorrow to finish up the filming arrangements, then I'll talk to Sister Lin, and I should be able to join the crew soon."

I'll rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I'll go to Anta to film the promotional video. Then I can join the cast of Pinocchio.

"Ok."

The assistant nodded and took Bai Ye home first.

After going home.

Looking at the little star in his hand for a while, Bai Ye finally placed it on his desk.

After washing up, Bai Ye played on her phone for a while before going to sleep.

I rested at home for a day.

The next day, his assistant came to pick him up so they could go to Anta together.

The people from Anta's marketing and design departments who had contacted Bai Ye last time also brought samples this time.

It's about the same as the first draft.

The blue sky and white clouds evoke a youthful feeling, while the cute chibi-style little black dragon adds to the charm.

After changing into this outfit, I realized that the design was tailor-made to fit the body shape that Bai Ye had provided earlier.

After wearing it, the youthful and spirited look it gave off caught the attention of Anta's marketing and design staff.

Yes!

That’s the feeling!
Choosing Bai Ye as the spokesperson this time was definitely the right decision.

I can't even imagine how many people will be amazed by this promotional image when it's released.

Many of the young girls around Bai Ye looked at him differently.

"He looks so handsome on TV, but I didn't expect him to be just as handsome in real life! I used to say that Bai Ye wasn't photogenic, but now I believe it!"

He's so handsome even when he's not on camera!
Meeting you in person is even more amazing!

"And she wasn't wearing makeup! Being young really makes a difference. I've rarely seen celebrities like Bai Ye who come with absolutely no makeup."

"So handsome! I wish he were my boyfriend!"

Listening to those words, the assistant couldn't help but sigh, realizing that her boss's romantic entanglements were indeed endless.

Just as I expected.

With a face like that, why would she need to pursue anyone else?!

"Teacher Baiye, we'll film you now. After that, you can tell us what you're thinking."

The design and marketing departments both agreed to use this system!

I thought it looked great when it was first designed. In fact, other people have tried it, and it's not just this one size that was designed.

While others looked alright in it, none could match Bai Ye's stunning appearance.

Once Bai Ye possessed the body, everyone felt that this was the only option!
"it is good."

If it's for filming purposes, there shouldn't be any problems with the white night.

Several sets of action shots were filmed, first in print promotional images, and then a joint promotional campaign was launched on Weibo.

Then came the filming of the commercial.

"Shine the light a little brighter on Teacher Baiye's face to create the feeling of sunlight on her face. Yes, that's it, just a little bit of light, hold it!"

Bai Ye moved her body in rhythm with the movement.

After shooting the floor plan, the photographer took out the images, including the original copies, and showed them to Bai Ye and the Anta staff.

After confirming that everything was in order, the next step was to start filming the commercial.

The advertisement's concept is based on the protagonist being you.

ANTA's core concept is to crown every protagonist, ignite the highlight moments in ordinary life with the spirit of sports, and convey the brand attitude that "everyone is the protagonist of their own life".

Storyboard.

The opening scene begins with the alarm clock ringing in the early morning, waking the city.

Ordinary people of different ages and professions: students, office workers, the elderly, and athletes.

Tighten the laces of the Anta running shoes, zip up the sports jacket, and take a close-up look at the Anta logo and the Q-version dragon designed by Baiye.

Voiceover: "Who says the main character needs a stage?"

A student sprints in the rain to catch a bus, a small Anta logo flashes on his backpack, and a smile appears the moment he jumps onto the bus.

After working late into the night, office workers put on headphones and Anta sneakers for a night run, their steps synchronized with the music. An elderly man confidently performs a handstand on a horizontal bar in a park, his Anta tracksuit billowing in the wind, drawing applause from those around him.

Bai Ye, playing the role of an athlete, scored the winning goal in the last second of the game, showcasing the explosive power of Anta's combat boots in slow motion.

The video is interspersed with fast cuts and captioned: "The protagonist writes his own script."

Then, everyone finally gathered on the city rooftop, high-fived each other under the setting sun, and the camera zoomed out to show the panoramic view of the city behind them.

Voiceover: "There are no small roles, only big dreams."

In contrast, Dove's commercials focus on Bai Ye and Liu Shishi.

Although Anta, as a sports brand, has hired Bai Ye as its spokesperson, its core essence remains unchanged: to inspire and uplift.

Finally, at Bai Ye's suggestion, the slogan "Anta, crowning you" was added at the end of the final video.

An additional post-credits scene is added, where the camera returns to an everyday setting, showing a little girl wearing Anta children's sneakers mimicking an advertisement pose to shoot a basketball, playfully winking as the ball goes into the hoop.

De-emphasizing competition and highlighting participation also echoes Anta's positioning as a mass-market professional brand.

It gives people the impression that wearing Anta means you can be the star of your everyday moments, enhancing the brand's approachability and youthful image.

After filming the last scene.

"Thank you so much! Professor Baiye is amazing, thank you for your advice!"

The director watches the short film; post-production will still require their help.

This short film wasn't originally like this, but it underwent significant modifications at Bai Ye's suggestion.

After the revisions, the short film is much better than before.

The director was also somewhat moved at this point, thinking, "No wonder he's the person who can write scripts like 'The Best of Us' and 'Someday or One Day'."

Sure enough, after making some changes, the quality and concept of the advertisement improved instantly.

"I just mentioned it briefly, but the filming was quite good."

Bai Ye patted the director on the shoulder, which was quite a flattering gesture for the director.

Directors hold a higher status than actors in the entertainment industry, but that applies to big-name directors.

For a director like him who shoots commercials, compared to a top-tier, super-popular actor like Bai Ye, any words he utters are an understatement.

But Bai Ye's personality is really good.

Although he hasn't had much contact with big stars, he has had contact with minor stars. With their temperaments, you'd think they were A-list celebrities.

Watching Bai Ye's retreating figure, he felt a pang of emotion. No wonder she became famous!

Bai Ye was about to leave with his assistant. As for Anta, he wouldn't have anything to do after the shoot, and they would discuss the follow-up publicity issues with Lin Wan.

Just as he was about to leave, a timid voice behind him made him stop in his tracks, "Brother Bai Ye, could you give me your autograph?!"

The little girl ran up to Bai Ye with a poster in her hand.

The poster prominently features stills from the "Day and Night" period of the drama.

This little girl is the one who filmed the last scene of the commercial.

Her mother, standing to the side, explained somewhat apologetically, "Mr. Bai Ye, my daughter really enjoys watching your drama 'Someday or One Day'."

"Oh?! Give me the poster, I'll sign it for you."

Bai Ye crouched down and took the poster the girl handed him.

He was somewhat surprised that the little girl actually liked watching the drama "Someday or One Day".

Bai Ye lowered his head, preparing to write "I hope you study hard and be happy every day" on the poster. But when he got to the part about his wishes, he suddenly stopped. "Little sister, what's your name?"

"Brother Baiye, my name is Zhang Zifeng."

Zhang Zifeng excitedly told Bai Ye her name, and then watched as Bai Ye wrote on the poster that he hoped Zhang Zifeng would study hard and be happy every day, before adding a scribbled name.

To avoid being scammed, celebrities usually sign their names in a messy, illegible way, unless it's a stage name.

Bai Ye used his real name, and naturally, under training, he also signed in a way that was not very easy to understand.

After signing his name, Bai Ye left with his assistant.

As they walked, Bai Ye sighed, "You know, that girl actually really likes watching mind-bending dramas like 'Someday or One Day,' but does she even understand them?!"

"Boss, you're actually worrying about this?"

The assistant's lips twitched. After listening to Bai Ye's words, she finally realized what was going on.

I just saw Bai Ye looking deep in thought, and I thought he was thinking about something.

I'm actually wondering if that young girl can understand the drama "Someday or One Day"?

"It's not really a dilemma. By the way, could you tell Director Lin that I'm joining the crew tomorrow? If I rush over today, it probably won't be in time."

"Ok."

The assistant nodded.

The Pinocchio movie crew filmed in Shanghai.

After all, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture has already partnered with Baiye.

Most modern dramas, barring any unforeseen circumstances, are filmed in Shanghai.

After all, Shanghai has given Bai Ye a lot of convenience. As long as the filming is done here, Bai Ye will be given the green light, provided that the script doesn't go too far.

If something goes even slightly too far, we can turn a blind eye.

Backed by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture, the school directly adopted the Zhenhua Universe model for this Pinocchio filming, with Yu Huai from Class 1, Li Ziwei from Class 2, Ke Jingteng from Class 3, and Cui Dabu from Class 4.

"Should we go back to the studio?!"

"I'm not going back. I'll leave the studio to Sister Lin."

"."

My boss really is a hands-off manager.

at the same time.

White Night Studio.

After finishing her work, Lin Wan learned from her assistant that Bai Ye had finished filming the promotional video and prepared to go back to rest.

She slumped into a chair; this living father of hers...
I've left all the studio work to myself; I'll probably need to hire more people later.

Fortunately, although Bai Ye doesn't usually get involved in things, he doesn't make me worry too much about resources.

They can even mentor newcomers to the studio.

This time, Bai Ye brought Sun Yizhou along for Pinocchio, just like always.

Son Il-joo plays Kim Young-kwang, a rich second-generation heir and fashion magazine reporter in Pinocchio.

The TV series Pinocchio.

Besides Tang Yan, the female lead handpicked by Bai Ye, and Sun Yizhou, who was brought in through connections, the rest of the cast of the drama also included other actors.

Yoon Yoo-rae, a social affairs reporter who started out as a sasaeng fan of an idol group, is played by Mao Xiaotong, with whom she has worked before.

Ki Ha-myung's older brother, Ki Jae-myung, is played by Zhu Yilong.

For other roles, they were either selected through open auditions or given away as a favor.

Several important roles were either predetermined by Bai Ye or selected through a process.

Leaning back in her chair, Lin Wan sat up straight. With Bai Ye joining the film crew, the only thing the studio would need to handle was the endorsement deal.

The filming for all four endorsements has been completed.

Lin Wan's side needs to start coordinating.

Then, the publicity schedule will be arranged according to the available time.

A few days after Bai Ye joined the Pinocchio crew.

The official account of Baiye Studio, together with Dove, Anta, Yadea, and L'Oréal, posted a Weibo post.

At the same time, Tangren also joined forces with Dove.

The decision to release the four endorsements together was made after discussions on Lin Wan's side.

The main reason is that this is the first time Bai Ye has found an endorsement, and if four endorsements are released together, then whoever's endorsement is released first will benefit from it, which the other endorsement companies naturally don't want to see.

After all, everyone spent about the same amount of money, so why should you get a better deal?

After these four endorsements were announced together, Bai Ye once again became a trending topic on Weibo.
