Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 204 - Creating a Memorable Scene from "My Love from the Star"!

The cast and crew of "My Love from the Star".

Huang Xiaoming sat next to Bai Ye, watching the crew members come and go. Before filming started, he whispered, "Bai Ye wants to contact you. Are you interested?"

Last night, after the dinner party ended, Huang Xiaoming received a phone call.

They said they wanted to get in touch with Bai Ye, someone from the Beijing social circle.

In the past, people in the Beijing circle had actually thought about this before.

However, at that time, I felt that Bai Ye was a bit arrogant, and their Beijing circle was the top in the mainland film and television industry.

Why would you need to take the initiative to reach out?!
When the two kings came to the premiere of the movie "White Night," they thought they had given him a lot of face.

So they were just waiting for Bai Ye to come to them.

But after waiting for a long time, Bai Ye didn't come on his own initiative. There was nothing he could do but go to Bai Ye's door.

The main problem is that if we wait any longer, the effort required to contact the other party will only increase.

The immense popularity of "My Love from the Star" demonstrates that while the film industry may look down on the television industry, it doesn't mean that television isn't part of the entertainment industry.

If you want to create a star, it's still very difficult to get into movies; TV series are the way to build up popularity.

Yesterday I asked Huang Xiaoming for his opinion on "My Love from the Star".

After Huang Xiaoming said just one sentence—that the show was bound to be a hit—they were somewhat tempted.

If "White Night" can make someone famous, you don't need to worry about whether it's a TV series or a movie; just get involved.

This led them to ask Huang Xiaoming and take the initiative to contact Bai Ye.

Fan Shuangbing's side won't work, but Huang Xiaoming's side is a good option. I met Huang Xiaoming through Yang Mi, but I'm not sure what to do.

As for this matter, it's impossible to ask Yang Mi first, right?!

So he took this question directly to Bai Ye on the film set the next day.

Upon hearing Huang Xiaoming's question, Bai Ye was not surprised and nodded, saying, "Of course, chatting is no problem."

It's really troublesome, I have to get involved in another circle!

He actually doesn't really like interacting with strangers.

But sometimes there's no way around it. Once you're out working, you can't just not want to interact with people and then completely avoid contact altogether, right?
Bai Ye didn't feel anything was amiss when he talked to the other party about it.

The entertainment industry and the Beijing entertainment circle are unavoidable, and there may be further interactions in the future.

"Okay, I'll make the contact for you. I'll be there too. Actually, it's not a bad thing to meet more people in the industry."

I can tell you're the kind of person who hates trouble. Even if you don't want to make contact, there will be plenty of people who will want to make contact with you!

There will only be more and more of these, after all, your status in the industry is quite high!!!

Huang Xiaoming smiled.

He figured out Bai Ye's situation, but he also felt that Bai Ye's idea was unlikely to come true.

After all, Bai Ye's current status in the industry is almost the same as that of those bosses.

Although the company hasn't been established yet, it will be soon; this is something everyone tacitly agrees on.

Judging from this, it's likely that more and more people will seek out Bai Ye in the future.

So, leisurely days are probably going to be fewer. Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoming directly brought up his past experience and said, "When I became famous, I was surrounded by people. You are much more powerful than I was back then!"

When he first became famous, a huge number of people flocked to him.

The current Bai Ye is even better than I am.

"Actually, being a second-tier actor can be quite enjoyable sometimes. You get to act in movies and TV shows, and it's not so tiring!"

Bai Ye muttered something to himself.

When someone gains popularity, sometimes they really are not as popular as a second-tier celebrity.

However, after hearing Bai Ye's words, Huang Xiaoming didn't reply, but his lips twitched slightly.

Huang Xiaoming clearly did not expect Bai Ye to say that.

Given their respective identities, he couldn't say anything.

Before Huang Xiaoming could say anything, a female voice came from behind him: "Wow, you two are top-tier celebrities."

"If you want to be a second-tier player, I'm willing to trade places with you!!"

The newcomer was Shu Chang, who was also looking at the two of them with a strange expression.

That expression.

She was really sour.

These two are actually here talking about how great it is to be a second-tier star.

If I could, I would really love to switch places with both of them!

Anyway, Shu Chang felt that if she could actually get this thing, it would be fantastic.

Huang Xiaoming laughed and said, "Changchang, you're a big star!"

Shu Chang shook her head and said, "I'm completely finished. If it weren't for my idol, I probably would never have made it onto the trending topics list in my entire life!"

It's not that Shu Chang is pessimistic; it's just that she doesn't know why either.

As he continued acting, his status declined and he faded into obscurity.

I was just arriving and was planning to discuss the script with them.

After all, I finally had this opportunity, so of course I couldn't let it go.

But she had only just arrived when she overheard the two of them discussing this, and when she heard it, she felt that it was really a bit pretentious.

Especially the White Nights!
They actually want to become a second-tier player!

"Hey, hey, hey, if you keep talking about idols like that, how am I supposed to have a proper conversation here?!"

Huang Xiaoming was completely dumbfounded listening to Shu Chang constantly mentioning her idol.

How did we end up talking about idols again?

Come to think of it, isn't it incredibly awkward for me to be here?!

Not right either.
It seems Yang Mi and Bai Ye are having an affair. If I weren't here, it would be really awkward if something happened between Shu Chang and Bai Ye.

The main characters are all in the film crew, so it's likely that a chaotic scene will break out on set.

"Um~ Well, why don't you just call me by my name? You keep calling me 'idol,' it's making me feel a little uncomfortable."

Bai Ye coughed lightly.

It has to be said that Bai Ye felt incredibly awkward as Shu Chang kept mentioning her idol.

The main reason is that Shu Chang called him her idol the first time they met, and she really has been following her dramas all along.

He had seen Shu Chang's Weibo posts; wow, she had been promoting her drama for a long time.

She can be considered the number one celebrity fan on Weibo.

"Sure, whatever you say, idol!!!"

"."

Bai Ye turned to look at Huang Xiaoming. He really couldn't handle someone like Shu Chang.

Seeing the look Bai Ye was giving him, Huang Xiaoming gave him a helpless expression.

They're just idolizing their idols; what can I say or do?

Fortunately, Lin Yufen started urging filming to begin. Several lead actors also arrived, even though not all of them were originally scheduled for this morning's scenes.

People come here spontaneously.

Apart from Sun Yizhou, the others were working with Bai Ye for the first time, and it has always been rumored in the industry that Bai Ye is a very good actor.

Everyone wanted to see just how good Bai Ye's acting was.

The first scene we filmed today was the one where Yang Mi, playing the top star Yang Songyi, drunkenly breaks into the male lead's house.

After filming this scene, the next scene was the one where the two of them were in the elevator together.

"Hey?! With so many of you watching, I'm getting a little nervous!"

Yang Mi glanced at the people surrounding her. Although everyone had said yesterday that they wanted to observe and learn,

She even prepared very carefully last night.

They rehearsed their scenes in the White Night room until 1 a.m.

Even now I'm still a little tired.

If I don't perform well later, then it's all Bai Ye's fault!!!
If it weren't for Bai Ye, I'm sure I could have performed well!
Bai Ye joked, "You're a professional actor, and you're still nervous?!"

Lin Yufen then spoke up, "Alright, we're ready to film. Bai Ye, you and Yang Mi, go in front of the camera!"

Lin Yufen's words interrupted Yang Mi, who was about to speak.

Yang Mi could only reluctantly take back her words, then turned her head and glared at Bai Ye!
The White Night will be great to watch later!

She couldn't say anything more now.

The first set of shots.

Yang Songyi accidentally wandered into Professor Bai's house while drunk.

This scene requires Yang Mi to switch from a "proud female star" to a "drunk and hazy" state, maintaining the character's star aura while also showing the vulnerability of letting down her guard after drinking.

In front of the camera, Yang Mi began her first performance.

The exaggerated gestures that showed her drunkenness made Lin Yufen frown. She immediately called for a stop and said, "This isn't Qingchuan from 'The Palace.' Yang Songyi is a top star. Even when she's drunk, she won't completely lose her composure."

Exaggerated!

This is absolutely outrageous!
Wasn't Yang Mi's acting quite lively before?!

Why do I feel like I'm still carrying the shadow of my last role?!
After Lin Yufen said that, Yang Mi stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, sorry, Director Lin, I'll be careful!"

"Okay, continue!"

Lin Wan nodded, but didn't say anything.

Today was the first day of filming, so it's normal that I wasn't quite in character yet.

The second time, Yang Mi restrained her movements, but her eyes still lacked subtlety. Lin Yufen stopped her again: "Your eyes are too clear. A drunk person wouldn't be so logical."

Lin Yufen pointed out Yang Mi's problem. After Yang Mi said she wouldn't do it again, she then had to do seven consecutive takes. At the same time, Yang Mi was a little annoyed and began to doubt whether there was something wrong with her acting skills!

Why can Bai Ye do it, but I can't?

Noticing Yang Mi's gaze, Bai Ye shrugged helplessly. What was the point of comparing herself to someone with such cheat-like abilities?!

After joining the group, Bai Ye obtained the entry on Professor Bai.

[Idealized Character]: This entry is based on Do Min-joon. You will receive a subtle Do Min-joon level acting skill and a minor appearance optimization. When playing superhuman-type roles, you will receive double the acting skill bonus, and at the same time, a slight increase in box office and viewership ratings.

For Baek Ye, this entry is relevant not only because she was able to perfectly portray Do Min Joon.

It even gave a minor appearance optimization, although Bai Ye didn't know exactly what he had optimized.

When I got the entry yesterday, I felt like I looked a bit more handsome, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

In addition, there are also the usual elements such as a superpowered individual with double the acting skills.

With her acting skills now on par, how does Yang Mi compare to herself?!

Seeing Bai Ye's disapproving expression only fueled Yang Mi's anger.

no! ?
What kind of look is that?!
"Sister Honey, look at this line in the script. She staggered and grabbed the door frame, her eyes shifting from contempt to confusion."

What I'm looking for is this sense of depth, not just the simple feeling of being 'drunk,' like you're about to throw up from being drunk.

Bai Ye explained the script to Yang Mi.

Although he had just made a small mocking remark about Yang Mi, he had given a serious explanation.

"Yes, that's the kind of layering we're aiming for. Don't let them act like they're drunk right from the start!"

Lin Yufen quickly spoke up at this moment.

After listening to their conversation, Yang Mi nodded and said, "Okay, director, I'll give it a try."

She composed herself, and unconsciously began to think about what Bai Ye had said earlier.

On the eighth take, Yang Mi adjusted her state, first staggering and bumping into the door frame, her eyes changing from "impatience" to "dazedness", then to "grievance", and finally muttering drunkenly: "This damn door of yours... how come it's harder to open than me?"

On the monitor, watching Yang Mi's performance, Lin Yufen's eyes flashed with satisfaction as she called out "Pass!"

"MiMi still has some spiritual energy; it seems she's adapted somewhat!"

Huang Xiaoming praised him from the side.

Looking at it now, something is definitely missing, but Huang Xiaoming can't quite put his finger on it.

Even after Bai Ye explained, he still didn't understand.

But now it's clear, comparing Yang Mi's performance now with her previous performances, doesn't this prove that something is missing?!
"It's really rare to see someone with such a superstar aura playing another superstar!"

Shu Chang was somewhat moved, recalling the feeling of playing a big star, watching Yang Mi's charming and alluring appearance after getting drunk on set.

She estimated that this would definitely become a memorable scene from My Love from the Star.

With that kind of looks, she'd probably become a dream girl for many people!
They continued filming this scene, and Yang Mi's performance was no longer the same as at the beginning. After Lin Yufen finished filming with satisfaction, she said, "Next scene!"

The second act is an elevator misunderstanding.

Another key scene where the female star mistakes an alien for a stalker is when Yang Songyi mistakenly thinks Professor Bai is a fan in the elevator.

A scene of the two confronting each other.

"Aura! You must have aura; you need to show your superstar presence!"

Bai Ye gave Yang Mi some instructions, and Yang Mi nodded in response. Then, when Lin Yufen called "start," Bai Ye's face instantly turned icy.

But just as Yang Mi turned to look at Bai Ye, about to say something, she burst out laughing.

"Sorry!! I'm so sorry!! I couldn't help it, his icy face was just too funny!!"

For some reason, Yang Mi felt an inexplicable urge to laugh when she saw Bai Ye's icy expression.

Before the lines were even spoken, the person couldn't hold back anymore.

"Honey, be serious when you're rehearsing your lines, stop laughing and joking around here!"

Bai Ye rubbed his forehead. Yang Mi deserves a lot of credit for all the many takes today.

"I'm really sorry, but if I were to play myself in this role, I sometimes really can't help it, and your icy expression... I'm so sorry!! I really held back this time!!!"

Yang Mi took a deep breath, wanting to say something more, but ultimately gave up.

She silently comforted herself, telling herself that she was a professional and that no matter what happened, she wouldn't smile!

So I'm sure I can hold back!
But when she finally decided to start again, Yang Mi chuckled once more.

Can't help it!
I just couldn't resist!

When will I be able to hold back my laughter when I see that poker face?!
