Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 168 - New Entry!

"Bai Ye, you've become so popular lately, so I wanted to ask you about it. Also, I heard you and Liu Shishi are going to work together again. Congratulations!"

Jing Tian suppressed the little thoughts in her heart.

She knew it herself, but at this point, Jing Tian had a rough idea of ​​why Bai Ye was avoiding her.

However, if I explain it to Bai Ye later, then there won't be any problem.

She doesn't plan to discuss this over the phone for the time being.

Jing Tian was actually a little envious of Liu Shishi's second collaboration with her.

Actually, you can do it yourself.

Why not look for yourself?
I think I'd be quite suitable for period dramas too, right?
Jing Tian thought about these words for a moment, but of course she didn't intend to say them aloud.

Some things are better left unsaid; it's not good to say them out loud.

"Nothing to congratulate you on, isn't it? You and I are also working together for the second time, aren't we?"

"Okay~ Then come to the set earlier next time, I'd like to rehearse with you."

"I expect to arrive a little later because I might need to handle some post-production work here, but I should arrive on time as per the contract!"

Bai Ye glanced at the calendar and realized that he would need to work with Lin Yufen on editing for some time, and he probably wouldn't be able to get there until filming started.

He won't go there ahead of time.

If Jing Tian wanted to rehearse with him, he probably wouldn't be able to.

The main reason is that I signed a three-part contract with Lin Yufen. She needs to handle post-production and needs to get into the production team as soon as possible, so it's impossible for me not to help.

So basically, I could only follow Lin Yufen.

As for the fourth installment, thankfully it's directed by Lu Yang; otherwise, I'd probably be incredibly busy this year.

"Oh okay."

Jing Tian was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up and replied, "Then I'll wait for you!"

Although she was somewhat disappointed that Bai Ye couldn't come to the set immediately, she knew she couldn't force him to come if he had other commitments.

Besides, it's just that I joined the crew a little later.

After a brief chat with Bai Ye, Jing Tian hung up the phone and prepared to rest.

She needs to use this last bit of time to adjust her mindset.

It had been a long time since she had seen Bai Ye. She couldn't let Bai Ye see her dark circles under her eyes the next time they met.

Besides, she only had some ideas about the Embroidered Spring Blade.

But since Bai Ye had already decided to be with Liu Shishi, then so be it.

Jing Tian herself is very content.

She thought that she should cooperate with Bai Ye every time she could; one shouldn't be too greedy.

Although she knew that even without making this call, her cooperation with Bai Ye was a done deal.

But for some reason, I just wanted to make this phone call to Bai Ye.

"A movie! And another collaboration with Liu Shishi!!"

After seeing Bai Ye and Liu Shishi officially announce their collaboration, Xiao Zhao is now extremely envious.

Movies!
Since Zhao Liying became a sensation after her last film, "Someday or One Day," she has had access to a lot of resources.

However, Zhao Liying still has no access to movies at this time.

Even if she could get in touch with some directors, they were all relatively unknown directors, or even directors who were extremely small. Zhao Liying had read those scripts and knew they would definitely flop without even filming them.

Of course she wouldn't answer.

You've gained popularity, and your status as a celebrity can drop.

If she doesn't get good roles, she'll probably lose her star power. She finally became famous and reached the second tier, and Zhao Liying doesn't want to go back down.

She felt great about becoming famous!

"That's why I said I was too hasty last time. If we hadn't broken up, several resources would have been yours!"

Hao Ru was also somewhat moved at this moment.

Who would have thought that being so eager for quick success would actually lead to Bai Ye getting away?

This directly resulted in the loss of several resources.

However, at that time, Zhao Liying desperately needed popularity to monetize it.

That is indeed somewhat short-sighted.

"Um"

Zhao Liying responded softly, but her mind was not on that at all.

At this moment, Zhao Liying was thinking about how to repair her relationship with Bai Ye.

This time, we can't be as eager for quick success as before.

However, we haven't figured out how to attack next yet.

Anyway, the two have repaired their relationship, so at least for now, my chances aren't completely gone.

At least they weren't going to break ties at first, but they managed to salvage the situation later?

Although I know that Bai Ye probably doesn't care much about this matter.

The official announcement of Embroidered Spring Blade.

It caused quite a stir, and now "White Night" is all the rage.

There is currently no way to explain why topics containing "Bai Ye" (白夜) easily trend on social media.

However, the Embroidered Spring Blade was indeed quite famous in the early stages.

Martial arts films, especially those about the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards, shouldn't have received this much attention originally.

But the popularity of "Day and Night" is undeniable.

Many people in the industry have noticed this and have even started to work together to try and oust Liu Shishi so that she can act alongside Bai Ye.

There were endless reports of people finding Lin Wan's side and Lu Yang's side.

Moreover, it's not just Embroidered Spring Blade; nowadays, many people are seeking cooperation with Bai Ye.

Lin Wan was also sorting out her thoughts with a bit of a headache.

"Sister Lin, why are there so many Qing Dynasty dramas here?!"

Because Bai Ye is editing, the assistant doesn't need to follow Bai Ye around these days; all she needs to do is pick him up and drop him off every day.

Normally, she would stay in the studio and study with Lin Wan, and also share some of Lin Wan's burden.

She recently worked with Lin Wan to work out the script for finding Bai Ye.

Both movies and TV series are available.

In television dramas, apart from youth dramas, almost all of them are Qing Dynasty dramas.

Youth dramas are understandable.

After all, Day and Night is a youth drama that has been adapted into several seasons, including The Best of Us, Someday or One Day, and You Are the Apple of My Eye.

Every single one of them performed very well.

People have a herd mentality, so it's perfectly normal for them to collaborate with Bai Ye on this drama.

But it seems Bai Ye has never acted in a Qing Dynasty drama, right?

"It's been popular lately. Ever since 'Palace' became a hit, a lot of Qing Dynasty drama scripts have been released."

"There are quite a lot indeed. Speaking of which, these dramas all seem pretty much the same." The assistant nodded, feeling that it was true. Recently, not only was "Palace" a hit, but there was also a new "Princess Pearl" being filmed, and I heard that Liu Shishi was also filming a Qing Dynasty drama.

"So, Sister Lin, are you going to get the boss a Qing Dynasty drama?!"

With dramas of this type being so popular lately, it seems quite normal for Lin Wan to be reading these scripts?
"You still have a lot to learn, so I won't take on these kinds of roles. Bai Ye probably won't like them."

Although Lin Wan didn't ask too many questions, judging from Bai Ye's past reading of scripts, he probably wasn't interested in this type of TV series.

At that time, scripts for Qing Dynasty dramas were also sent over, but Bai Ye only glanced at them and then put them aside.

Now that Bai Ye is popular, there will naturally be more opportunities, but Lin Wan has no plans to accept them for Bai Ye.

Even knowing that Qing Dynasty dramas were the most popular at that time.

"Oh~"

The assistant didn't ask any more questions.

She only needs to know why the boss doesn't like it; she doesn't need to know the reasons.

"So many dramas are looking for the boss! The boss is really popular!"

Watching Lin Wan frantically search through the scripts, the assistant couldn't help but sigh. The boss was really hot-tempered, with a stack of scripts piled up beside her.

Moreover, there are various Shang Dynasty figures.

"It seems like Sister Lin has been asking the boss to replace quite a few people lately. I wonder if Sister Shi will be replaced too?!"

"You care about this a lot?!"

Listening to the assistant's words, Lin Wan glanced at her sideways. This little girl had finally revealed her true colors.

She had been rambling on and on with herself, but those questions didn't sound like they were things she cared about.

After all, some issues and some things had already been said before, and the fact that she could still bring them up again clearly shows that this young lady probably has other ideas in her heart.

After this question was asked, Lin Wan knew perfectly well that this was her ultimate requirement.

When Lin Wan looked at him like that, the assistant chuckled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, Sister Lin, I was just curious. Those people who called before promised a lot of benefits."
I'm just curious if the boss will be replaced, and I suspect it's not just the boss's side; Director Lu's side has probably been contacted as well.

The assistant was just curious.

She entered the entertainment industry primarily for gossip.

After following Bai Ye, she truly had her fill of gossip and drama.

Nowadays, facing this kind of casting controversy for the first time, it's inevitable to feel some curiosity.

The main reason is that the other side offered so much; they promised a great deal of benefits.

Some offered to exchange resources, while others directly proposed to offer other things. In short, there were all sorts of suggestions, but the gist was that they hoped Bai Ye could replace Liu Shishi.

"You've even gotten involved in your own boss's gossip! Don't worry, your boss probably isn't that shallow; how could he go back on his promise?! As for Director Lu..."
I doubt it. After all, the main focus of this movie is Bai Ye. If the role is changed, Bai Ye might withdraw the investment or quit the movie at any time.

So even if the role needs to be changed, it all depends on what Bai Ye thinks!

Lin Wan felt that the key lay in Bai Ye's thoughts.

Lu Yang's thoughts were irrelevant. As a director, he wasn't very famous. Faced with Bai Ye, who was more popular, he would definitely have to listen to her opinions, especially since she was an investor!

Don't say that the director is the biggest; capital is the biggest!

"Okay, fine~"

The assistant nodded, but didn't say anything more.

This casting controversy is quite something.
If Baiye doesn't change, then probably it won't change.

The industry is rife with undercurrents, and many people take action to snatch a role, but that doesn't mean there are no bottom lines.

After all, only one movie, "White Night," was a box office hit.

Moreover, this film is a youth film, while this time it's a martial arts film. Everyone knows that there's a consensus in the industry that martial arts is dead.

Even if you're Bai Ye, so what?!
Moreover, the most crucial point is that Bai Ye only succeeded once, which doesn't mean he can always succeed. So they are willing to pay some price, but a huge financial loss is definitely out of the question.

If you can switch, try switching to another one. You can make back your money by taking advantage of the situation with Baiye Marketing.

But if the cost is too high, it's not worth it.

Bai Ye wasn't affected much. He continued editing with Lin Yufen, trying to finish Pinocchio as soon as possible and submit it for review.

As for the so-called personnel change, Bai Ye only learned about it briefly after emerging from seclusion.

"No change, once it's settled, it's settled!"

Bai Ye told Lu Yang about it. He didn't know what Lu Yang was thinking, but he guessed that a lot of people had been looking for Lu Yang recently.

After his phone call, Lu Yang felt much more at ease.

Lu Yang was indeed a bit conflicted before, mainly because the other party was offering so much that it was difficult for him to refuse.

But after Bai Ye said that, Lu Yang knew that he definitely couldn't change it.

Since it can't be changed, there's naturally not much to think about.

Whether or not "Brotherhood of Blades" can even start filming depends on Bai Ye. Besides, even if it does start filming, what if Bai Ye doesn't act? Will they have to find someone more suitable than Bai Ye?
That won't work!
He now feels that Bai Ye is the most suitable!

After all, he comes with his own popularity and capital, and his acting skills are top-notch. If he doesn't bring that influence, then who can?!

After resolving the issue of the Embroidered Spring Blade, Bai Ye prepared to join the cast of "Time Travel Cohabitation".

The production team is all ready.

All that's left is for me to join the production team.

Looking at his own entry, he noticed that Choi Dal-po's entry had given him a rather interesting one.

【Memory Overload】: This entry is from Choi Dal-po. You will gain the subtle level of Choi Dal-po's acting skills and a slight boost to memory and energy. When playing a role of a comeback character, you will receive double the acting bonus, and at the same time, a slight increase in box office and viewership ratings.

Bai Ye was somewhat surprised when he first saw this entry.

After all, the concept of a comeback character is quite broad. Although Choi Dal-po himself doesn't qualify as a comeback character, according to his character design, he is an exceptionally outstanding person.

But this thing...
It seems to be a time-traveling cohabitation that can amplify one's own abilities?
He was quite looking forward to the box office performance of the film after its release. After all, increasing box office revenue was not just a matter of chance. Based on his observations, even if the original film had been replaced with a film with a similar level of popularity, it would still have performed better.

If it weren't for the keyword, the increase probably wouldn't have been so significant.

So from this perspective, the entry is actually a kind of alternative cheat code.

If this thing can boost box office revenue, that's terrifying.

Just then, the assistant's voice brought Bai Ye back to reality, "Boss, we've arrived."

Coming to his senses, Bai Ye heard a voice again.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on joining the cast of the TV series "How Long Will I Love U"! The reward entry has been issued.]

【The Moral Chosen One in Two Timelines】: This entry is from Lu Ming. You will receive a subtle Lu Ming acting skill bonus and a luck (financial) bonus. When playing a dual-identity type of role, you will receive double the acting skill bonus, and at the same time slightly increase the box office and ratings.

this! ?

Bai Ye looked at the information entry in front of him with some surprise.

Lucky?!
And it's related to financial resources?!

Could this be another instance of boosting box office revenue?!

Or is there something else?
The cast and crew of the TV series "How Long Will I Love U".

Lu Zheng's side had been set up long ago, and they had been waiting for Bai Ye to come and start work. The assistant director of the previous drama had also been here for some time.

Before the White Night arrives, we've started filming some scenes ahead of time.

However, he was never very satisfied with the content of those films.

Mainly Jing Tian.
He was puzzled. Why did Jing Tian perform so well in "With You" but perform so poorly in "How Long Will I Love U"?
strangeness!!

This is really strange; I just can't understand why there's such a big difference in their acting skills!
