Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 163 - The paparazzi keeping a close eye on Bai Ye!
"That's right, I came to see you. Partly because of what happened yesterday, I wanted to come and see you. I've been missing you, haven't I?"

And then there's this matter, which mainly involves checking if any other pretty girls on set are trying to seduce you.

Judging from Bai Ye's expression, Yang Mi knew that he probably guessed what she was thinking.

She stopped hiding it.

There are only a few reasons why I came here.

First of all, she misses Bai Ye a little. After falling in love with Bai Ye, Yang Mi doesn't really blame Bai Ye; she blames herself.

If I were even more capable, I would be a perfect match for Bai Ye.

But if you can't handle it yourself, can you blame others?!
Although she kept making jokes, she was still very clear about her true thoughts.

Then there's the matter of endorsements. For a celebrity, the three most important things are their work, popularity, and commercial endorsements.

Works and popularity are easy to understand; they complement each other.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, some works are critically acclaimed but not commercially successful, meaning they are good but have limited popularity. Others are very popular but have poor works.

Then comes business.

A celebrity who can endorse red blood, blue blood, and luxury cars has basically reached the pinnacle of their career.

However, apart from top celebrities, very few people in China can endorse these products, and Yang Mi did not focus on this.

Even sports brands like Adidas and Nike are difficult for her to contact. As for Anta, she can contact them. After the palace incident, her popularity has increased.

But she is also well aware that her ability to sell products has not yet been recognized.

If I were to approach Anta for a collaboration at this point, they might agree. But if it fails, I'd be embarrassed, and many people in the industry would laugh at me!
Especially those you've offended in the past.

So she thought of Bai Ye. Since Bai Ye's collaboration products sold so well, and the sales growth of Dove, which she had previously endorsed with Liu Shishi, was also very impressive.

She also had her own thoughts.

Why is it that Liu Shishi, this rumored girlfriend and ex-girlfriend, can have this, while I, the official girlfriend, can't?!
She originally wanted to say it over the phone, but felt that it would lack sincerity.

In addition, she wanted to see if there were any other girls, which could also be interpreted as Tang Yan trying to seduce Bai Ye.

So after thinking about it, Yang Mi finally decided to come over.

"You want to do a collaboration? With your current popularity, it shouldn't be a problem to talk to Andy about it, right?!"

Bai Ye was a little confused, but Yang Mi didn't let him guess and just said, "Didn't you say that TV series would make me very popular?! And I'm going to release a couple's co-branded product."

"When the time comes, we can just use the on-screen couples to create hype."

As Yang Mi spoke, she subconsciously observed Bai Ye's expression.

Actually, her meaning was quite clear: she didn't want to expose her relationship. If it were before "Palace" became popular, Yang Mi wouldn't have cared and could have directly announced her relationship with Bai Ye.

However, after the palace incident, Yang Mi's mind changed, and she was allowed to release some rumors.

However, after what happened with Zhao Liying, it's estimated that Bai Ye will no longer create scandals.

Besides, it's clearly impossible for him to hype himself up right after he finished hyping up Liu Shishi.

Unless he and Bai Ye officially announce their relationship, he doubts the other party will agree to any hype.

So from this perspective, the main reason I don't want to make an official announcement for now is that I've just gathered a group of fans, and making an official announcement now would be a huge blow to my popularity.

"Oh~ I understand."

Bai Ye nodded. He understood what Yang Mi meant; if she didn't want to make it official, then so be it.

Yang Mi, who had been observing his expression, finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you would be angry."

"Why would I be angry? It's up to you. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I officially announce it or not."

Bai Ye originally had this idea.

An official announcement is fine too.

However, Yang Mi didn't want to make it official, so he felt it was best to leave it at that.

Judging from this situation, he probably realized that he and Yang Mi might not be a good match.

Yang Mi is too career-oriented.

If Bai Ye really had to choose between Liu Shishi and Yang Mi, he would choose Liu Shishi.

At least in the previous choice, Bai Ye felt that choosing Liu Shishi was the one that best suited his wishes.

If Liu Shishi were standing here today, and this were the topic of her conversation, she would not hesitate to make it official, even though it's currently the peak of her career.

It's not that Yang Mi is bad.

It's just that one might focus more on family and the other more on career; they simply see things from different perspectives.

In reality, if they really do end up getting married, one of them has to sacrifice their career.

Will Yang Mi choose to sacrifice her career and return to family life?

Bai Ye felt it was simply impossible.

If neither celebrity chooses to make sacrifices, the probability of them getting divorced is basically over 90%.

If you're filming for years and never see each other, no matter how good your relationship was at the beginning, problems will inevitably arise later.

"I'm worried, but if you want to make it official, there's nothing I can do. How about we wait a little longer and then make it official later?"

Yang Mi muttered something, and subconsciously wanted to pull Bai Ye's hand and act coquettishly.

However, when he raised his hand halfway, he suddenly realized that he was on a film set and stopped.

It's not that she doesn't want to officially announce her relationship with Bai Ye.

The main reason is that I felt that announcing my career at this time would be a blow, and the same goes for Bai Ye.

Ultimately, she prioritized her career over her personal life.

"Just let it be."

Bai Ye didn't care; it was normal for Yang Mi to choose her career.

From the very beginning, Bai Ye could tell that Yang Mi was a very career-oriented person.

"I'm back. Did I disturb you?!"

Tang Yan is back.

She did go to the restroom, and when she figured it was about time, she came back.

Looking at the two of them, although they seemed no different, Tang Yan still felt that something was off.

"No, I'll be going now, Tangtang."

"They just left?!"

Hearing Yang Mi's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Tang Yan's eyes. She just left like that?!

Although I knew Yang Mi would be leaving soon, isn't this departure a bit too fast?!

"I only took a short break. I have filming this afternoon. Can you come visit the set after I finish filming or after you finish filming?"

Yang Mi said that she mainly watched Bai Ye.

She might not care much about Tang Yan, but she couldn't possibly not care about Bai Ye.

But I really don't have time now; I just came to take a look.

"Sure, Mimi, I was actually thinking of having dinner with you."

Tang Yan felt a little regretful. She had originally planned to have dinner together, hoping to get some photos taken by reporters and use it as a marketing opportunity to promote their "Chinese Paladin" romance. All three of them are very popular now, and if they had dinner together, reporters would definitely follow them.

However, if Yang Mi had come to visit the set today, she probably would have already been photographed.

"Tangtang, there will be other opportunities in the future. I'll be going now!" With that, Yang Mi turned her head and winked at Bai Ye.

Although Yang Mi felt inexplicably sad after talking to Bai Ye about that matter.

I always feel like I should have just kept quiet.

But since everything has already been said, there's no going back.

However, she felt that Bai Ye was probably saying the same thing as she was thinking!

"Sure, let's both deliver it together!"

The two escorted Yang Mi out of the film set, and the reporters who had been waiting outside perked up at that moment.

It was somewhat unexpected to see the three of them come out together.

"Master, it seems like there wasn't much interesting stuff during this set visit."

The little dog who came with Yang Mi looked at his master with some disappointment.

This time, we didn't get any particularly explosive news.

It's just a gossip story about Yang Mi visiting the set of Pinocchio, nothing more.

But that's not what the paparazzi want to follow.

If Bai Ye were to escort Yang Mi out alone today, that would be a big deal, although I know it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

But isn't what journalists want most—hot topics?!

"What kind of food do you want in broad daylight?!"

The master glanced at the paparazzi. "He only followed for a moment, and he thinks he can get some big scoop?!"
Do you think there are that many juicy stories in the entertainment industry?!

Besides, isn't the whole point of their visit to the set to make news?!
What else do you want?
Want to hear rumors about Bai Ye and Yang Mi?!
That couldn't possibly be within this film crew.

There's no way you could visit a set in broad daylight and something might happen. Even if there were, you couldn't just walk into the film crew's premises.

Moreover, since Tang Yan and Bai Ye came out together at this time, there was no possibility of any subtle manipulation.

"Then why should we follow Yang Mi?"

The puppy asked, puzzled.

Since everyone knows there's no chance of any big news, why are they still following Yang Mi?!

He doesn't understand.

"Are you stupid? Do you think you can uncover big news by following her for a while?! There's a saying in the industry that it takes anywhere from a month to a year to follow her, so you have to be patient."

Yang Mi, Bai Ye, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi are currently the four most popular actresses, and they interact the most frequently, even though they have been promoting their friendship from the drama "Chinese Paladin 3".

But I always felt something was definitely wrong, after all, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Bai Ye all have very close relationships!

At this moment, the master also gave his young apprentice some earnest advice.

My little apprentice is new to the business and lacks patience.

In his view, since he had decided to go along with it, he should be prepared.

"Moreover, according to my inside information, Bai Ye and Liu Shishi seemed to have some ambiguous relationship on the set of the new Three Kingdoms. I don't know if they were together or what, and it was the same during those years."

There's no such thing as a secret that can't be kept hidden in a film crew.

In fact, it's not just him who has this information; many people in the industry probably do too, and even some people outside the industry know about it.

Back when Bai Ye and Liu Shishi were in the new Three Kingdoms, they didn't really try to hide their relationship.

Furthermore, they've been actively marketing their relationship lately, so it's hard to believe there's nothing going on between them.

Upon hearing his master's words, the young apprentice immediately understood and asked, "Then Master, why aren't we going to follow Liu Shishi? Why are we going to follow Yang Mi instead?!"

no! ?
Isn't this right?

According to his master, since Bai Ye and Liu Shishi are related, it is possible to uncover their relationship problems.

If that's the case, why not go and talk to Liu Shishi?!
"Are you an idiot?! Didn't you want to hear about the biggest news?!"

What does "Master" mean?

The puppy is numb.

its not right!
He doesn't understand.

"The news that Liu Shishi and Bai Ye are together is hardly big news! Don't you think about it? With the marketing they've done to each other, it wouldn't be surprising if they officially announced it."

At worst, if they find out about us, we won't even get our money back, and they'll just announce it officially.

We're not just following them to dig up big news; it's mainly for the money! What do you think it is?!
In this line of work, as long as you pay enough, the news can be suppressed. So following Liu Shishi yields absolutely no benefit. Don't you understand?!

At this point, the master couldn't help but start cursing.

What an idiot!
What an idiot who deserves to be in a museum!
Does he really think that paparazzi are only interested in digging up big news?!

That's right!

Indeed it is!
But what they need is not just big news, but big news that has an impact on them.

Being a paparazzi isn't something I do out of passion; the most important thing, of course, is making money.

In his view, he had uncovered evidence that Bai Ye and Liu Shishi were together, which meant there was solid proof.

So what? !

They don't care at all, as long as it's officially announced.

They won't get a single penny then, and netizens are very accepting of them being together.

After all, they've been marketing together since the new Three Kingdoms series, plus their Dove chocolate endorsement as a couple back then. So, even if they're not officially together now, netizens would consider them as a couple.

There is nothing strange about this.

"Master, I understand, but what does this have to do with following Yang Mi?! You mean, if Bai Ye were with Yang Mi or Tang Yan, things might get even more explosive!?"

"No, no, I don't think you understood what I meant."

The master shook his head and continued in a pretentious manner, "No matter who Bai Ye is with, it's not a big deal, because Bai Ye is single, and they are all single too."

They are both single, at least for now, unless we can get enough evidence, which is what we need to follow.

If we can get solid evidence of Bai Ye and Liu Shishi being together, and then get evidence of Bai Ye being with Tang Yan, Yang Mi, or even anyone else, then wouldn't the money come naturally?
So my focus is on Bai Ye, understand?!
"If Yang Mi hadn't come to visit Bai Ye on set today, I wouldn't have come at all!"

After his explanation, the young apprentice immediately understood.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he said that before, following Bai Ye is the only way to make money!

That makes sense. If it were photographed that Bai Ye and Liu Shishi were a couple, and then he cheated on her, Bai Ye would definitely spend a lot of money to buy it back in order to avoid exposing his affair.

After all, he's currently in the prime of his career; he can't possibly watch it be ruined, can he?!

"Master, what about the material for our set visit?!"

"Let's post it! Let's get some buzz!"

The hype is practically handed to me; I might as well take it. Even if I don't get paid, I might as well expose it to get some attention.
