Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 196 - My brother Bai is really awesome, Weibo even released a new feature for him?
Shortly after Huang Xiaoming's appearance in My Love from the Star became a trending topic.

A trending topic quietly climbed to the top of the list.

Yang Mi posted on Weibo that she is the only female lead and there was no controversy over replacing her.

At the same moment, after Yang Mi posted this Weibo, Bai Ye immediately reposted it and stated that the role was tailor-made for Yang Mi and there was no change in the casting.

The bees, who had been speculating about whether there had been a change in personnel, suddenly became excited.

Many people left comments on the two people's Weibo accounts.

[I said before that the role of Mimi would absolutely not be changed. Bai Ye and Mimi have such a good relationship, how could the actress be replaced!?]

[No matter who you are, like Fan Shuangbing or Liu Yifei, you're not going to steal my Mimi's role!]

Seriously, I was worried sick about this for ages, but thankfully the result was right!

Those are the Aries siblings! They already knew each other back in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 era and have always supported each other. They've all grown up together.

I've been looking forward to seeing these two, the only male and female leads, work together for a long time, and I've finally made it!

Having experienced the baptism of the day.

I almost thought Fan Shuangbing was going to steal Yang Mi's role.

How can fans not panic?!

Fortunately, the two of them posted an explanation on Weibo at the same time.

The female lead in "My Love from the Star" is undeniably the best!
They've already posted on Weibo together, so continuing to speculate is no longer advisable.

This also made those who were originally planning to get involved and take advantage of the situation give up.

Previously, when everyone was speculating about who the female lead of "My Love from the Star" would be.

Although Fan Shuangbing's team clarified the situation, they accidentally liked a post about a movie star descending to earth.

Isn't that obviously an attitude of wanting to star in "My Love from the Star"?!
Everyone knows that you, Fan Shuangbing, had contact with Bai Ye before.

Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, and even Zhao Liying and Tang Yan's teams have all been involved, and they have all been in contact with resources related to "My Love from the Star".

They themselves did not appear in person, but their team arranged for a press release.

It's obvious that some of them might genuinely want to make contact, while others just want to ride the wave of popularity and gain some traffic.

But no matter what, the female lead in "My Love from the Star" is getting more and more outrageous.

From Fan Shuangbing at the beginning, to Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan and a host of other actresses who came out later.

As for the original lead actress, Yang Mi?!

Then everyone subconsciously ignored it.

But after the two of them posted on Weibo this time, the matter can be considered to have come to an end.

"Are these two really that close?!"

Fan Shuangbing's eyes flashed with surprise; she had considered that Bai Ye and Yang Mi had a good relationship.

However, as soon as the rumor came out, before it had even gained traction, Bai Ye helped Yang Mi clarify the situation.

In this grand event, Yang Mi was the one who was hurt the most. If Bai Ye hadn't clarified things, the attention on "Starry Night" would have been endlessly drawn to her.

At the same time, Bai Ye, who is both an investor and the lead actor, is definitely capable of attracting a significant amount of viewership.

But Bai Ye chose to clarify things at this crucial moment.

They even clarified it that very night.

"They seemed to have a good relationship when they debuted."

"I have a feeling that something's not right between those two!"

Fan Shuangbing muttered, "Judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem like it."

Based on her own experience, she herself wouldn't believe that the two of them weren't having an affair.

"You mean the two of them?!"

"It's very likely. No wonder, I was wondering why he wouldn't even consider it before!"

Fan Shuangbing nodded, recalling how she had almost given Bai Ye a hint earlier.

Looking at it this way, it's no wonder that Bai Ye didn't seem very interested in her before.

Does having a girlfriend mean you can't cheat on her?!
Fan Shuangbing secretly thought to herself that she actually had a strong craving for Bai Ye.

Even without resources, she genuinely likes a handsome guy like Bai Ye.

Pity.

"Mom, you didn't contact her, did you?!"

Liu Yifei asked curiously, "If my mother were to go and make contact with them, it would feel pretty ridiculous."

Of course, the clown is himself.

"No, actually I think TV dramas might not be quite right for you!"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head; she had had this idea before.

But I gave up on it later.

The main reason is that I feel Liu Yifei's career has been somewhat diminished by acting in TV dramas.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoli chose to give up.

Fortunately, because of this idea, she didn't go to contact them. If she had, and then been rejected, and if this matter had spread within the industry...

That would definitely affect his daughter's status.

"Mom, there's nothing wrong with TV dramas. I still get a lot of TV drama scripts, but good movie scripts are so rare."

And even if they were to contact me, they would probably have to consider other people before contacting me, but I can choose from TV dramas first.”

Liu Yifei has always believed that TV dramas are her core business.

While there are film studios that can find their own projects, good scripts are truly rare.

After all, first they have to go through the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in Hong Kong cinemas), and then Hong Kong films will definitely prioritize their own people, and then the "Four Dan and Two Bing".

As for myself
Those are all later on.

But TV dramas are different. In the TV drama market, if I were to act in one, I could even snatch a script from Fan Shuangbing.

But Liu Yifei believes she can't do it in terms of film.

So she was always quite puzzled about the film route her mother had chosen for her.

This decision has resulted in him starting very few projects per year.

"Sissi, the big screen has returned to the small screen, so it will be difficult for her to come back in the future!"

Liu Xiaoli said something meaningful.

In her view, even if there are no resources, one should not act in TV dramas.

I was a little envious at the time, and Tang Yan's situation gave me a misconception.

Liu Xiaoli is awake now!
She suddenly felt that TV dramas were meaningless.

Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Liu Yifei opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words.

She knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoli didn't go to Bai Ye's place; otherwise, she would have felt somewhat embarrassed.

However, judging from the current situation...

This online farce should be coming to an end.

After all, Bai Ye himself made an appearance.

The popularity of "My Love from the Star" is really high.
Liu Yifei looked on with envy, only to find out that the female lead was Yang Mi, and then she became the number one trending topic.

Is it really true, as Shu Chang said, that Bai Ye is a natural at trending topics? Anyone associated with her will trend!?
"Bai Ye, Xiao Ming said he wants to have dinner with you so you can get to know each other before filming starts. Are you interested?"

After the official announcement of "My Love from the Star".

Huang Xiaoming also asked Lin Wan if Bai Ye had time to have a meal together before filming started, so they could get to know each other.

Of course, he was just asking Bai Ye if he had time. If not, he said it was fine to get together when the film crew started shooting.

"Go ahead, I should be free for the next few days. I'm going to be on 'A Date with Luyu' anyway! I'll go right after that!"

Bai Ye nodded.

He does lack connections right now.

And what about the connections that come to you proactively?!

Huang Xiaoming is known in the industry as a very nice person, and he had heard of him.

Besides, the fact that they agreed to act in this production is already quite a favor.

Generally speaking, someone of Huang Xiaoming's stature would never play this kind of role again.

They agreed without even asking.

It's possible that Yang Mi spoke to Huang Xiaoming about it, but Huang Xiaoming's immediate agreement without asking does make him more likable.

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it later."

Lin Wan nodded, then glanced at the time and planned out the time for Bai Ye.

I'm preparing gifts for my fans here, and I'll go there a few days later when I'm on "A Date with Luyu" after recording the show.

"Seven days later, on the Luyu Show, at that time."

After Lin Wan chose the time, she told Huang Xiaoming about it.

After receiving confirmation from Bai Ye, Huang Xiaoming glanced at the date seven days later. He didn't have anything important to do, and even if he did, he decided to postpone it.

Meeting Bai Ye is of utmost importance.

"Xiaoming, you guys made plans?!"

Yang Ying looked at Huang Xiaoming expectantly. She had been listening nearby and had caught the gist of what was going on.

Huang Xiaoming nodded, and Yang Ying's eyes lit up. She then asked, "Can I come with you?!"

She had originally planned to wait until the film crew arrived.

If they knew each other on set, then they would have to be more polite. After all, there were many people and many eyes on the set, and since he had gone with Huang Xiaoming, he wouldn't have much time to chat with Bai Ye.

But these private meetings are different.

Even if he and Bai Ye don't know each other yet, and neither does Huang Xiaoming and Bai Ye, he can still chat with Bai Ye later.

Doesn't that mean we've become friends?!

"this."

Hearing Yang Ying's words, a hint of hesitation flashed across Huang Xiaoming's face.

I didn't mention any of this when I made the appointment with Bai Ye, let alone that I was just inviting Bai Ye to have a meal together.

Bringing Yang Ying along would be a bit of a problem, wouldn't it?!

The main reason is that I'm not very familiar with Bai Ye, so bringing Yang Ying along would be quite troublesome.

But seeing his girlfriend's expectant eyes, Huang Xiaoming felt a little embarrassed.

He actually couldn't stand that kind of gaze; it softened his heart.

"Xiaoming, I don't think you're very familiar with Bai Ye yet. Why don't you take me with you? Then I can ask Mimi if she wants to come along too."

That way, with Mimi around, things won't be so awkward, since Mimi and Baiye have such a good relationship.

Mimi and I are best friends, and you and Mimi are also good friends. With Mimi as the middleman, you two will definitely have a lot to talk about!

Yang Ying's words really appealed to Huang Xiaoming.

Yes!

It would be a bit awkward if he went alone. Of course, he was going there to get to know Bai Ye, so he knew that even if it was awkward, he had to do it.

Taking Yang Ying along might suggest that they wanted to bring someone to Bai Ye's attention.

However, it would be good if Yang Mi could go with me.

Yang Mi has high emotional intelligence, so there definitely won't be any awkward silences.

Seeing Huang Xiaoming's somewhat tempted expression, Yang Ying pressed further, saying, "It just so happens that Mimi and I haven't seen each other for a long time either."

Isn't Mimi the female lead in My Love from the Star?!
Last night's incident caused quite a stir. I'll take this opportunity to catch up with Mimi. She can bring up some topics, and we'll all get to know each other better, right?

She even mentioned that she was looking for Yang Mi to catch up.

Huang Xiaoming had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you ask around. If you're going, we'll go together."

"it is good!"

Yang Ying nodded, thinking that he had finally agreed.

She quickly took out her phone and called Yang Mi.

After she told Yang Mi about her idea, Yang Mi thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

Seven days later, it will be about time for the crew to start filming.

Meet with Bai Ye first, and test him out.

I was originally planning to meet Bai Ye when the filming started.

However, Yang Mi decided that she should reward Bai Ye properly after what happened last night.

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying happened to be there too. Judging from their demeanor, they probably wanted to get to know Bai Ye. If I went over, it would prevent the situation from becoming too awkward.

"Mimi agreed, so we can go together. With Mimi there, that matter shouldn't be a problem!"

After confirming with Yang Mi and arranging to go shopping in the next few days, Yang Ying told Huang Xiaoming about Yang Mi's agreement after hanging up the phone.

Huang Xiaoming also breathed a sigh of relief.

With Yang Mi around, things seem to be much easier.

For the next six days, Bai Ye was busy in the studio preparing gifts for her ten million fans.

"Sister Lin, we've signed 10,000 contracts in these six days, isn't that enough?!"

In addition to autographed photos, there were also other small gifts. In total, about 30,000 gifts were prepared.

"Wouldn't 30,000 copies be a bit insufficient? Boss, you have ten million followers!"

The assistant muttered something to himself.

This seems to be quite a lot of preparation.

But she felt it wasn't quite enough.

Giving away 30,000 gifts to 10 million fans doesn't seem like much preparation.

"Let's buy some more small gifts, enough to make 50,000. How are we going to draw them then?!"

This is the first time Bai Ye has given out this kind of benefit.

Thirty thousand copies sounds like a lot, but as the assistant said, it's indeed too many in terms of the base number.

So 30,000 copies seems a bit low.

He decided to make a larger batch, including some small gifts, to reach a total of 50,000!

Anyway, for him now, spending some money is no big deal, since he has plenty of money and these things won't cost much.

But he's considering how to conduct the lottery.

"Retweet your Weibo post for a chance to win a prize?!"

Weibo now has a lottery system, usually where users retweet a post and then enter a lottery.

After Lin Wan explained the method to Bai Ye, her assistant reminded her, "But this is a fan lottery."

If you can receive a gift just by retweeting a Weibo post, what happens if you're not a fan?!

The assistant felt this was too easy.

At the very least, a threshold needs to be designed.

After all, if everyone participated in the lottery, it wouldn't just be ten million people; it could be tens of millions!
After all, I came here with the mindset of getting a freebie, since it's free anyway.

"I'll ask the people on Weibo if we can come up with a 'follow + lottery' model, where only those who follow me can enter the lottery."

While it's impossible to completely prevent this, if someone doesn't even pay attention to me, then I definitely wouldn't want to send them this little gift.

After all, it was originally intended for the fans, wasn't it?!

Bai Ye thought for a moment and then he thought of the staff on Weibo.

A high-ranking official on Weibo added him to their contact information.

The other party had said that I could share my thoughts with them.

After all, as the first person on Weibo to surpass ten million followers, and with his popularity currently soaring, Weibo is naturally going to treat Bai Ye well.

He took this opportunity to talk to Weibo about the matter.

The other two remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

I feel that this method cannot be completely eliminated, but at least Bai Ye is right.

If someone isn't even willing to pay attention to Bai Ye, wouldn't it be incredibly foolish to give them this gift?

Thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately picked up the phone and called the person on Weibo.

The moment the call connected, the two exchanged only brief pleasantries before Bai Ye shared her thoughts with the person on Weibo.

Weibo also knew that Bai Ye was going to hold a giveaway, as they had previously mentioned that they would be giving away gifts to fans.

But I never expected that Bai Ye would have such a thought.

This is the first time we've seen a combination of following and winning a prize.

"So you want us to add this feature, right?!"

The Weibo manager summarized Bai Ye's request and then gave a reply: "I'll ask the company's programmers if it can be done."

I'll give you an answer right away!

After saying that, he went to the programming department.

This function is not particularly complex, and it's not particularly difficult to implement.

The only difference is that there are additional prerequisites for the lottery, and it will be a dedicated lottery event, so it probably won't take long.

They immediately gave Bai Ye a reply.

"By the way, Bai Ye, could you post a Weibo about your upcoming giveaway? I'll have our people retweet it."

After that, we can also promote the upcoming launch of this feature, how about that?!

The person in charge gave Bai Ye an idea.

He wanted Bai Ye to post a Weibo message and interact with them.

A Weibo post about a lottery.

Then Weibo officially reposted it.

That night.

Baiye posted a giveaway announcement on Weibo, revealing that she has prepared many gifts and also officially announced her collaboration with Weibo to develop a small feature.

This little feature was also revealed when it was reposted by the official Weibo account.

Follow + Giveaway!?
This is a new feature that Weibo created because of Baiye's giveaway!
[Holy crap?! My brother Bai is amazing! He actually got Weibo to create a feature just for him?!]

【No way! My brother Bai is the king of trending topics, the first person on Weibo to surpass 10 million trending searches!】

[Great! I was worried I wouldn't win, but this follow-and-win system greatly increases my chances!]

[To be honest, even with this feature, it would be incredibly difficult to win a prize if ten million fans participated simultaneously, right?! Especially considering our fan base is growing at such a rapid pace! What the hell?!]

[My brother Bai's fan base has been growing rapidly ever since he played Pinocchio; he truly deserves the title of most popular!]

Having made so much money, shouldn't they donate it?!

[Here it comes again!! The "King of Charity" is back! May I ask how much money you've donated? He earned his own money; whether he donates or not is his own business. What's the point of this moral blackmail?!]

Isn't that right?! They've made so much money, yet they don't know how to contribute anything to society!!

I knew it! Fame brings trouble!
