Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 183 - Victory!
murderous look?!

What do you want this thing for?
Some of the points given in each entry can even be applied to daily life.

Something is better than nothing.

The roles in period dramas are rather general, but ironically, these general roles are the best for Bai Ye, at least for now.

After all, this is a broad category.

Bai Ye closed the system interface, looked away, and then glanced at his assistant before leaving. "Let's go eat."

"Oh, boss, should we call her?"

The assistant knew that Bai Ye and Liu Shishi had gone out to eat.

Should we call out or not?!

"Just give them seats later."

The assistant has already made a reservation for the meal.

Let’s eat.

It definitely needs to be more private, but of course it can't be too far away.

There are actually some nearby in Hengdian.

After all, there are so many film crews here, there are bound to be many needs, and the assistant knows that Bai Ye doesn't have that in mind.

But paparazzi are annoying!
Everyone's keeping a close eye on Bai Ye now.

Night falls.

An inconspicuous minivan stopped at the back gate of a small courtyard. Liu Shishi, wearing a mask and hat, quickly slipped inside with her agent.

After exchanging a few words with the waiter, the agent led them through the courtyard to a private room.

Bai Ye had already arrived. Upon seeing Bai Ye, Liu Shishi's agent's lips twitched.

Didn't you say it was nothing?!
Make it so hidden
Although I know that these paparazzi are watching me, if I don't keep a low profile, I might get caught even while having a meal.

But the current situation just doesn't seem right.

"Senior Sister is here."

"Mmm." Liu Shishi responded softly, took off her coat and handed it to her agent, revealing a simple and comfortable sweater underneath.

She took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face that showed a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.

The agent glanced at Bai Ye, then at Liu Shishi, and said in a professionally considerate tone, "Teacher Bai Ye, Shishi, you two chat. I'll wait in the car outside. Shishi, call me if you need anything."

"etc."

Bai Ye's voice made the agent pause.

"We're just having a meal, please don't leave."

Bai Ye pointed to his assistant beside him.

This agent
no! ?
It makes it seem like I'm here to have an affair.

You said you were just coming to have a meal?!

Isn't this right?

Hearing Bai Ye's words, she didn't move but subconsciously glanced at Liu Shishi. After Liu Shishi nodded slightly in response, the agent sat down.

Agents may seem to hold the power of life and death over their artists, but that only applies to minor stars.

Leaving aside Bai Ye, the actresses who have reached the level of Liu Shishi are no longer under the control of their agents.

She also needs to see what Liu Shishi thinks.

I wondered if I had misunderstood something.
The agent noticed how secluded the area was and knew Bai Ye had a girlfriend, but who knows if the two of them... cough.
She thinks so.

So I thought I might as well just go out and pretend I didn't hear or see anything, no matter what happened afterward.

But Bai Ye wouldn't let her leave, and Liu Shishi agreed.

This means that I have misunderstood.

My brain!

She felt a little annoyed.

If I had known things would turn out this way, I shouldn't have said so quickly about leaving.

However, the atmosphere seems a bit strange.

After the agent sat down, looking at the quiet and eerie situation, he felt a strange sense of unease.

These two people.
"I heard from Sister Lin Wan that you've been very busy lately?"

"I just finished recording Happy Camp to promote 'Pinocchio,' and now I'm going to join Director Lu Yang's crew." Liu Shishi spoke first, breaking the silence.

Her voice was calm, revealing no particular emotion, as if it were just a simple greeting.

"Yeah, we've been working non-stop."

Bai Ye nodded, picked up a slice of meat, and said, "Pinocchio is about to start airing, so we can't neglect the promotion."

I'm also really looking forward to director Lu Yang's film. You'll be playing Zhou Miaotong; I've seen the costume fitting photos, and it suits you perfectly.

He paused, looked at Liu Shishi, and said in a more serious tone, "Director Lu has high standards, but his camera is very good at telling stories, especially for a character like you with a unique temperament and rich inner life."

Zhou Miaotong's restraint and complexity, if handled well, will be outstanding and will definitely help you establish yourself in the film industry.

This statement is both an affirmation and an implicit encouragement.

Liu Shishi could tell that Bai Ye recognized her abilities, which eased her tension slightly.

Liu Shishi lowered her head slightly, her fingers unconsciously stroking the teacup beside her, and said softly, "Sister K actually said the same thing."

I will do my best and will not let this opportunity down!

Liu Shishi's tone was firm as she raised her head and looked directly into Bai Ye's eyes.

It gives the impression of issuing a military order.

"By the way, you just finished recording Happy Camp, how did it go?! I heard the recording went really well?"

Liu Shishi spoke naturally, as if she was only concerned about the publicity effect.

But Bai Ye still knew that when he met Liu Shishi's gaze, he knew what she was asking.

It's just a simple question of who to save if someone falls into the water.

The topic has already become a hot one on Weibo.

This is a classic question.

He really knows how to make trouble for himself; he doesn't believe Liu Shishi hasn't seen this before.

"It is indeed very good, but I chose Sister Tangtang at the time."

"."

Liu Shishi opened her mouth, though she had already thought about this matter before.

But after hearing what Bai Ye said, she couldn't help but laugh.

This guy really knows what he wants to know.

It's a choice of three.

In fact, she herself knew that she was the least likely one to be the one.

But thankfully, without Yang Mi, it seems pretty good.

She paused, then casually remarked, "Speaking of which, she saw this clip, right?! With her temper, she didn't explode, did she?!"

When Liu Shishi mentioned Yang Mi, she didn't show any resentment or jealousy; instead, she seemed to be gloating.
After all, she had decided to listen to Cai Yinong and not have too much contact with Bai Ye recently, which would be beneficial for both herself and Bai Ye.

Liu Shishi felt that she should put aside the emotional entanglements between herself, Bai Ye, and Yang Mi for the time being.

Bai Ye thought of Yang Mi's jealous check-up last night, and touched his nose. "I think it's okay."

fine?!
What do you mean?
Liu Shishi hadn't even expected Bai Ye to answer.

But this sentence left Liu Shishi completely bewildered.

I don't know what Bai Ye meant by suddenly saying this, but "it's alright" should mean "it's alright"!?
But I doubt it will be as simple as Bai Ye made it out to be.

There must be other things between the two that they haven't said to each other.

But Liu Shishi didn't intend to ask any further questions at this point.

After all, it involves an intimate relationship. Although I said before that it was nothing and didn't matter, it still made me very uncomfortable.

"She's really famous now, her momentum is at its peak. I heard she's going to set up her own studio, then make movies, and get a constant stream of endorsements." Liu Shishi stated the facts in a calm tone. "She's always been very clear about what she wants, and she's also very bold in pursuing it."

In this respect, I sometimes admire her.

Actually, Liu Shishi sometimes genuinely admires Yang Mi. She can't do what Yang Mi does.

Although she is not as indifferent as she portrays herself.

But Liu Shishi was well aware that she sometimes couldn't be as decisive as Yang Mi.

So at times, Liu Shishi actually admired Yang Mi quite a bit.

She had mixed feelings of love and hate towards her former best friend's personality.

"Yes, she has a strong sense of purpose!" Bai Ye commented frankly, without going into further detail.

Liu Shishi gave Bai Ye a deep look.

So, will she abandon him for her career later?!

After a moment of silence, Liu Shishi ultimately did not say those words.

I'm just speculating at this point, but given Yang Mi's personality, it's quite possible.

But they're still together now.

By saying these things, I've made myself look bad to everyone.

After much thought, Liu Shishi steered the conversation toward understanding the characters and exchanging ideas about the script.

The atmosphere became harmonious and natural due to the shared professional discussions.

After dinner.

Liu Shishi did not leave with Bai Ye; she left first.

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. I just had a simple meal with him!"

"Um"

The agent nodded, though he felt it wasn't something he was overthinking.

But since Liu Shishi has already said that, what else can I say?!

However, Liu Shishi does have her own ideas, and she doesn't need to interfere.

Seeing her agent's expression, Liu Shishi didn't say anything more. She needed to adjust her state of mind when she got back.

When filming starts tomorrow, I'll definitely give it my best.

The crew began filming the next day.

The four main actors, Bai Ye, Zhang Yi, Wang Qianyuan, and Liu Shishi, were sitting together discussing the script.

Zhang Yi and Wang Qianyuan were chosen by the director himself; he just thought they were suitable.

As the group chatted, Zhou Yiwei walked over with a smile and greeted them.

Although everyone was initially worried about Bai Ye, after all, he's a big star, and they didn't know if he would be easy to get along with.

But on the first day, everyone found that Bai Ye was easy to talk to, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the rumors circulating in the industry are true; Bai Ye is very easy to talk to and has no airs when filming.

This brought the group together, where they chatted about the script and gossip from the industry.

"Get ready, Bai Ye and Liu Shishi, your scenes are coming up!"

Lu Yang shouted.

This instantly interrupted their gossip, and they all stopped and began to prepare.

The drama "Brotherhood of Blades" wasn't just about Bai Ye and Liu Shishi putting in a lot of effort; everyone else did too.

People in the industry have been saying that Bai Ye is currently lucky and has the ability, and they are all waiting to take off with Bai Ye!

After filming began, Liu Shishi demonstrated extraordinary focus and dedication.

Whether it was a dramatic scene that required her to suppress her grievances or a dangerous action scene later on, she strived to do her best, even taking the initiative to ask for more difficult action scenes, showing her determination to hold her breath.

Lu Yang watched on the monitor and couldn't help but feel a little emotional; this guy was really going all out.

This is completely different from Liu Shishi's previous performances in TV dramas.

Lu Yang turned to look at Bai Ye, who had put on his flying fish robe and picked up his embroidered spring knife. His eyes instantly became sharp and deep.

"I feel like Bai Ye looks like a member of the Imperial Guard in this outfit, both of us."

Zhang Yi looked Bai Ye, himself, and Wang Qianyuan up and down for a while before finally coming to a conclusion.

It's like they're the ones who are actually the Imperial Guards!

"Hey, don't drag me into this! I think I'm pretty handsome, okay?!"

"."

Zhang Yi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

This guy seems to have a rather thick skin!

"Quiet down and watch Bai Ye's performance!"

Lu Yang spoke, and the surroundings instantly quieted down, with everyone staring at the monitor.

The emotional tension between the two is palpable.

The two actors portrayed Shen Lian's forbearance and protection of Zhou Miaotong, as well as Zhou Miaotong's complex inner struggles, with great depth and nuance.

On set, watching the two work together so seamlessly, every frame captured by Lu Yang's camera had a cinematic quality.

"Is he trying to prove himself?!"

Bai Ye looked at Liu Shishi, feeling a mix of emotions.

Is he trying to prove himself, or is he simply unwilling to lose to Yang Mi?

Bai Ye thought to himself, feeling that these two seemed to have started competing with each other at some point.

However, with Liu Shishi displaying 120% focus, the efficiency of the entire crew was unconsciously brought to an extremely high level by the two of them.

During breaks, Bai Ye would occasionally receive messages from Yang Mi checking up on him.

The content was nothing more than probing the crew's situation, or using the occasion to ask questions such as, "Does Liu Shishi's costume look good today?"
Did she talk to you about anything special?

These questions left Bai Ye both amused and exasperated.

Since Yang Mi can't visit the set in person, she calls to check on the set every day. Basically, she calls around 7:30 pm.

Unless there are night scenes, I have to fight with Yang Mi all night long, and I can't even sleep.

However, Bai Ye wanted to tease Yang Mi a bit when answering her questions, such as, "Everything is normal, I'm focused on filming, please rest assured, Boss Yang."

The costumes, of course, didn't have the same stunning effect as Sister Honey's leg-training.

The latter always manages to distract Yang Mi.

This also resulted in a new 'leg photo'.

It has to be said that after this back and forth, Bai Ye has taken quite a few more photos of her legs.

He knew Yang Mi was uneasy, so he tried his best to make her feel more secure.

After several days of continuous filming, we finished shooting at night.

Yang Mi called Bai Ye as usual, but this time she didn't ask about Liu Shishi.

The issue is about Weibo followers.

"Bai Ye, you're just a tiny bit short of reaching ten million followers. You'll break ten million tonight, you know that?!"
You're going to win! Yao Cheng is no match for you now!

And lately she's been constantly posting on Weibo, asking people to promote her and boost her popularity. You haven't done anything and you've already surpassed her!
Well done!!!

Yang Mi is in a great mood today.

The main reason is that Bai Ye successfully suppressed Yao Cheng.

She had wanted to see this for a while.

White Night did a great job today!
She decided to send Bai Ye another photo as a reward!
"Huh?! We're about to break ten million?! I was hoping to get some rest early tonight!"

Bai Ye muttered to himself, "It's about to break ten million. The speed is really fast."

If I break through tonight, I probably won't be able to sleep right now.

Unexpectedly, while the filming of Brotherhood of Blades was in full swing, Bai Ye's Weibo followers increased thanks to the help of countless fans and the boost from the trailers on Happy Camp.

It seems like a breakthrough is imminent.

I checked Weibo and saw that it wasn't just soon, it was already happening. The number of followers was growing rapidly, it seemed like Weibo was also giving it a lot of traffic!

At the same time, Lin Wan sent a text message: "We're about to break ten million! I couldn't get through to you on the phone, but I'm all set up here. Get some rest tonight!"
