Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 220 - The entertainment industry is in complete chaos!

White Night Studio.

The assistant was still a little confused when she came back.

The previous interview had, to her any sense, shocked her.

But that's it.
She could tell that Bai Ye didn't seem to care at all.

After listening to Bai Ye and his assistant's words, Lin Wan also had some thoughts in her mind.

"Actually, I think it's good that you're like this. There's nothing wrong with the interview. You don't have to stay silent like before. Sometimes you need to have something explosive to say."

Besides, they've already stepped on your face; if you don't respond, it would mean you're scared!

Although it is said that in this industry, it is best to make money by being harmonious.

But people are already right in front of you.

If someone can still hold back at this point, then wouldn't everyone be able to do the same thing in the future?!

Anyway, they won't be taking any action.

Moreover, she could tell that Bai Ye was now quite adept at handling interviews.

Although sometimes the answers seem a bit off-topic.

But she thought it was pretty good.

"See? I told you so. Look how scared you were."

Bai Ye turned to look at his assistant and made a joke.

The assistant was extremely worried throughout the journey.

He was worried that what Bai Ye said might make others think he was too arrogant.

"I'm just a little scared."

The assistant muttered a defense in her own voice.

She was just worried.

Because Bai Ye's interviews were never like this before, the sudden change made her a little unaccustomed to it.

"You still have a lot to learn in the future, don't be scared by such a small situation!"

"I understand, Sister Lin." The assistant touched her nose, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, and didn't dare to look at Lin Wan.

This statement likely refers to his future role as Bai Ye's agent.

That means next year.

After the company transfer, they will likely have to complete the structural transformation from a studio to a company.

"Don't scare Sister Lin, she's timid." After saying that, Bai Ye changed the subject and said, "We can try to contact Director Lin. She seemed to be planning to come to my side when she left."

When My Love from the Star wrapped up filming.

Lin Yufen subtly mentioned to him that she wanted to make contact.

The subsequent decision to join Baiye Studio.

He didn't know much about signing directors, and even the signing of actors had always been handled by Lin Wan.

So, regarding the matter of contacting Lin Yufen.

He could only tell Lin Wan about this, and then it would be up to her to decide what to do next.

He's not suited to negotiate terms either.

“Sure, we happen to be short of a director. Although we can find someone to collaborate with, it would definitely be better if our own company had a director.”

Lin Wan's eyes lit up; she felt this was a good thing.

After the company is established, if there is a director inside.

That seems to make it more convenient when filming works from one's own company.

Besides, Lin Yufen and Bai Ye have collaborated several times.

His works have always received excellent reviews.

Based on this foundation, it seems there's no problem for both sides to further cooperate.

When it comes to projects within the company, Lin Yufen can be given priority.

Moreover, coming here means more opportunities to film, and I've had more opportunities to work with Bai Ye, which is probably why Lin Yufen is here as well.

She only had this idea after seeing Bai Ye's condition.

Otherwise, the cooperation with Tangren would have been going well.

There's no reason why Lin Yufen would suddenly jump over here.

However, we'll have to wait until I talk to Lin Yufen about it later.

She nodded in agreement, and then she explained some things about the studio: "Should we try to make an appointment with the heads of those video websites?!"

Several people had approached me before, but you were filming a movie at the time, plus there was the promotion for "How Long Will I Love U".

So I haven't arranged to talk to them. Now that you have time, shouldn't you take care of this matter?

There are still many things left to deal with in the studio, piled up by the daylight.

Now that you're back, shouldn't we talk about the copyright issue?
Speaking of which, there's a lot of copyright stuff piling up now.

Especially after the "How Long Will I Love U" series, those video websites went crazy.

They're keeping a very close eye on the copyrights of Baiye Studio!
"Okay, let's schedule a time."

The issue of copyright definitely needs to be discussed.

"By the way, should the company sign any new employees?!"

"Signing new players?"

"Yes, the studio has you and Sun Yizhou now, so we won't sign any male actors for the time being. After all, you usually play the lead role in your dramas, and Lao Sun plays the supporting role."

Lin Wan paused as she spoke, glanced at Bai Ye, and seeing that he had no opinion, she looked at him.

She continued, "So I was thinking about whether to sign two actresses. After all, if you always find outsiders to act in some roles, it's better to have your own people from your company act in them."

That way you can earn more money, and even if they're just supporting characters, it seems like that's acceptable, right?!

Lin Wan felt this was such a waste!
These older dramas may not have been very stable.

It also carries a bit of a favor connotation.

So they've been looking for actors to perform in the show.

But now that the studio is stable, everyone in and out of the industry agrees that any script from Baiye Studio is a masterpiece.

It's safe to say that there's absolutely no need to use scripts to curry favor anymore.

There's no need to worry about the script either. As long as Bai Ye is in it, there won't be any problems for the next few years.

Then the problem is coming.

Since it can already be guaranteed that this matter will stably create stars.

Then why bother finding actresses outside the industry?!

Wouldn't it be great if Bai Ye were the main character and Sun Yizhou were the supporting character, like this?
Bai Ye took Sun Yizhou under his wing, transforming him from a fourth or fifth-tier actor in the industry to a top-tier second-tier leading man.

Although there's still a long way to go to reach the top tier.

But don't underestimate second-tier cities; they can earn just as much money.

Moreover, Sun Yizhou was a worry-free person, which made Lin Wan consider signing someone else.

Bai Ye will continue to play the lead role, while Sun Yizhou will play a supporting role. Then, they will produce one or two more dramas to promote their own studio's staff.

Or rather, other companies outside might want to ask Bai Ye to repay a favor or exchange resources.

Overall, Bai Ye has far too many choices.

If we don't sign some people, it's all money! That's all money!!!

Cultivating a few second-tier female celebrities can bring huge profits to the studio.

We don't need too many Lin Wans, just some second-tier ones will do.

There's an old saying in the entertainment industry: minor fame comes from promotion, major fame comes from fate.

Her idea was simply to make Xiao Hong a star, not to fall behind, and to see if she could create a new talent like the Tang Dynasty poet.

Thinking of this, she immediately added, "Look at the situation of the Great Tang Poet Immortal. If we could promote someone like him, how much would we benefit?!"

It has to be said that the more Lin Wan talked, the more Bai Ye was moved.

He was genuinely tempted.

But he also found it somewhat difficult.

The great Tang Dynasty poet can be said to be a product of his time.

Some things can't be forced.

All four had acted in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, and coincidentally, in that same year, all of them except Liu Yifei achieved ascension.

It can be said that Yang Mi relied on the palace, Liu Shishi on the scarlet heart, and Tang Yan on the three daughters of the Xia family.

Including the scripts he had worked on with the three of them, it can be said that, apart from Yang Mi, the ascension of the other two is related to him.

That's what it means to become incredibly famous – it's all about luck!

Thinking of this, he frowned and asked, "It seems that most of the well-known actors in the industry have signed contracts, and I haven't heard of any of them still working outside."

Those who are capable will generally set up their own studios, and my studio can't afford to support them.

If we're going to train them, they need other qualities too. So, Sister Lin, are you looking for new talent, or do you already have someone in mind?!

Bai Ye pondered for a moment what Lin Wan had just told him.

Suddenly, she realized that Lin Wan might already have a target?

Otherwise, Lin Wan wouldn't have said that.

So Bai Ye was completely open and honest, and Lin Wan didn't hide anything either. Then she went back to her office and took out two documents.

"Look, this is something I recently found out. It's about someone named Dilireba, who is currently studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

Then there's this girl named Gulnazar, whose bare-faced photo went viral online this year, and she was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, where she was called the most beautiful candidate.

If we sign both of them together, I've already planned out their marketing strategies. How about the "Two Beauties of Northern Xinjiang"?!

Lin Wan became more and more excited as she spoke.

This idea was something I had only thought of before.

The main reason is that I feel Bai Ye has achieved a lot now, and the studio should also transform into a company.

Shouldn't we start training some actresses now?!

Especially after seeing Gulnazar's bare-faced photos go viral online.

She also saw the marketing for "The Poet Immortal of the Tang Dynasty".

For some reason, the thought suddenly popped into my head: to see if there were any other beautiful women in Northern Xinjiang.

Believe it or not, she actually found something when she looked for it. She heard about a very beautiful woman from northern Xinjiang at the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Academy.

After taking a look, she thought it was pretty good.

So I had this idea, and I thought I'd talk to Bai Ye about it today.

"Okay, Sister Lin, you should go and make contact. If it's possible to sign, then let's sign!"

"it is good!"

Lin Wan nodded, and then continued to talk about other work-related matters.

She will contact Dilraba and Gulnazar later.

There are some other things to do right now.

The two talked for more than three hours.

And at the same moment.

Less than four hours after the interview ended.

The headlines of major entertainment media outlets have been dominated by Bai Ye's interview.

[Bai Ye responds to collaboration with "The Poet of Tang Dynasty": We'll see what happens next!]

[Bai Ye Talks About Yang Mi: An Excellent Actress, Will Consider Collaborating If Given the Opportunity]

[Director Bai Ye of "How Long Will I Love U": Screening schedules are determined by the market; all works are respected]

[Bai Ye is reportedly considering big-budget films, stating he is no longer satisfied with small-scale productions!]

Six of the top ten trending topics on Weibo were related to "Bai Ye".

The hashtag #BaiYeYangMiCollaboration# climbed to the top of the charts at an astonishing speed, followed by a deep red "Explosive" sign.

The assistant silently finished reading and then handed over the notebook.

As he handed it over, he was carefully observing Bai Ye's expression.

Um.
I'm worried that Bai Ye's mindset might change after seeing this.

Bai Ye took the tablet and glanced at it. The top comment was: "Isn't Bai Ye too arrogant? He's already acting like nobody's business after just a little success?" It already had over 10,000 likes.

"Tsk," Bai Ye chuckled, "This is a good headline, more sensational than I expected."

what? !

The assistant was taken aback.

That can't be right!

It's not what I expected.

The assistant's eyes widened: "Boss, aren't you worried?! This might offend some senior figures in the industry."

"What are you worried about?!" Bai Ye handed the computer back to her. "What I said is true."

Screening schedules are indeed determined by the market and the audience; I didn't belittle any other works.

These reporters are really good at making things up! What do they mean by "I'm already prepared for a big production"?

And about that collaboration, did I really say that before?!

If I hadn't just finished speaking...

He actually believed it.

These people are really good at making things up!

"Don't you know what kind of people reporters are?!"

Lin Wan rolled her eyes and said helplessly.

I glanced at the reports above.

Although she had guessed it beforehand, she couldn't help but want to laugh when she actually saw it.

Yang Mi's dressing room.

Yang Mi had just finished a magazine photoshoot when her assistant rushed over to hand her a phone: "Sister Mi, Director Bai's interview is out, and you're trending!"

Yang Mi took the phone, her fingertips quickly swiping across the screen, her eyes slightly narrowed.

When she saw the sentence "I would consider collaborating if there is an opportunity," the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, but she quickly pursed them again.

"This White Night," she muttered softly, her fingers unintentionally twirling the ends of her hair.

My phone suddenly vibrated; it was a call from my agent, Zeng Jia.

"Mimi, have you seen the news?!" Zeng Jia's tone was filled with excitement. "You and Bai Ye are trending all over the place."

The team is preparing a response. How would you like to handle this?!

This is a great opportunity to ride the wave of popularity.

It would be a bit of a waste to leave it unused.

Yang Mi bit her lower lip: "Don't rush to respond, let me think about it first."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi clicked on Bai Ye's profile picture, hovering her finger above it for several seconds, hesitating.

In the end, I didn't light it.

Trouble!
There's nothing wrong with me going to investigate so quickly!
Because my schedule is completely full this year, didn't Bai Ye say that back then?!

Liu Yifei's villa.

Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the sofa, her laptop on her lap, the screen displaying a video of Bai Ye's interview.

She turned her head with a grin and looked at Liu Xiaoli, who was making tea, and said, "Mom, you heard him. We'll see what happens next!"

Liu Xiaoli walked over with a teacup and sat down next to her: "Xixi, you actually believe those polite words?! Every director, when asked about collaboration, will say it's possible anytime!"

Liu Xiaoli felt somewhat helpless.

That's just a polite way of putting it.

How could my own daughter take that seriously?!
"At least they didn't directly refuse, right?!"

"You!" Liu Xiaoli sighed and rubbed her forehead. "But this is indeed an opportunity. The charity Bazaar is coming soon. Bai Ye is going back, and you can..."

"Mom!" Liu Yifei said with a hint of helplessness, "Don't get any ideas again."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head with a smile: "Silly girl, in the entertainment industry, you have to fight for opportunities. Bai Ye is very popular right now, who wouldn't want to work with him?"

She put down her teacup and picked up her phone: "I need to call the team and have them prepare a press release."

My own daughter.
Then we can set a trap for Bai Ye, and we won't have to worry about not being able to catch him!

It's not like I'm actually asking her to do anything.

Jing Tian's workspace.

Jing Tian, ​​who had just finished a roadshow, was slumped on the sofa looking exhausted.

The assistant jogged over excitedly and said, "Sister Tian Tian, ​​Bai Ye praised you in the interview!"

"What?!" Jing Tian sat up straight immediately.

Her assistant handed her the phone: "Look, he said your acting has improved a lot and you're very dedicated!"

Jing Tian took the phone and carefully read the report, her eyes slightly warming.

All the hard work during that period of filming, the countless takes, and the director's strict requirements seemed worthwhile at this moment.

Huayi Brothers.

Wang Zhonglei slammed the tablet heavily on the conference table: "Look! Look at this! This is the director we missed!"

The conference room was completely silent. Several executives lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Seven hundred and ninety million!!" Wang Zhonglei's voice echoed in the conference room. "An investment of forty million yields a twenty-fold return! We've hardly ever had any contact with someone like that!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Huang Xiaoming sitting next to him: "Xiaoming, you and Bai Ye got along well on set, right?!"

Huang Xiaoming sat up straight: "President Wang, we do get along quite well, we're friends. I've already made an appointment, and there should be opportunities in the future!"

"Alright!" Wang Zhonglei slammed his hand on the table. "You're in charge of arranging a meeting and getting Bai Ye to come out. I want to talk to him personally."

After saying that, he looked around the conference room: "No matter the cost, we must secure the investment rights for Bai Ye's next film!"

"A big investment?! I absolutely have to get involved!!!"

Zhao Liying is incredibly envious!

She is now really eager to improve!

Bai Ye is about to have another big-budget movie project, and she can't just stand by and do nothing!

same moment.

The Weibo public opinion arena.

As time went on, discussions about the White Night interviews intensified.

Under the hashtag #BaiYeYangMiCollaboration#, fans have already split into several factions and are engaged in heated debate.

[The Aries couple is real! Bai Ye clearly has feelings for Mi Mi!!!]

[Can you please stop shipping them like this?! They're just regular colleagues, okay?!]

I think both Bai Ye and Yang Mi's gazes towards each other are quite telling!

Yang Mi is completely unworthy of Bai Ye! Bai Ye should be working with Liu Yifei!

And under the hashtag #ThePoetBaiYeOfTheTangDynasty#

Fans of Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, and Yang Mi are also competing with each other.

[Bai Ye invited Shi Shi to make a cameo appearance first, which clearly shows he values ​​Shi Shi more!]

[Stop spreading rumors here! Liu Shishi is just a substitute for Qianqian; Bai Ye personally said he wanted to collaborate!]

Is it possible that Tangtang and Baiye have the best relationship? The kind where she silently supports him from behind?

【Are you kidding me?! Where did you put my Mimi?!】

At the same time, some industry insiders have also begun to speak out.

A well-known director sarcastically commented on Weibo: "Some young actors these days become arrogant after making one or two blockbuster movies. Film art is not just about box office numbers."

This Weibo post instantly ignited a public outcry.

After all, even though the criticism from the seniors wasn't named, anyone who wasn't a fool could see through it.

They're talking about Baiye.

At this time, many people were waiting for Bai Ye to respond on Weibo.

Indeed, quite a few people are unhappy with Bai Ye.

Bai Ye has been incredibly popular lately.

Moreover, everyone in the industry knows that Bai Ye is starting a company, which means that he can't be won over and may even become an enemy in the future.

Naturally, some people also stepped in to criticize Bai Ye.

There's only so much money. If Bai Ye makes a profit, what will they make?
