Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 224 - Yang Mi: That dog of a man went to see his ex right after breaking up?
"Okay, see you later."

Bai Ye did not refuse.

He was well aware that after offending two circles, his next film was crucial.

Although it was uncertain whether My Love from the Star would be released before Brotherhood of Blades was released, Legend of Chu and Han was definitely going to be released.

However, the TV series' performance so far hasn't been too bad.

After all, this kind of subject matter is right here.

He only thinks movies, especially martial arts films, are good, but he's not sure if audiences will like them.

Besides, his two films were box office successes, so it would be bad if Brotherhood of Blades flopped.

He couldn't hold on either.

From this perspective, Xing, you really need to move up your schedule.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Shishi was somewhat surprised.

Bai Ye agreed so readily; she truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

But after realizing what was happening, Liu Shishi quickly confirmed, "Okay, I'll talk to Sister K and then I'll send you the location and time!"

After receiving Bai Ye's affirmative answer about the date tonight, Liu Shishi immediately told Cai Yinong about it.

Actually, she wanted to find Bai Ye.

However, no reason could be found.

The name is not justified.

He has a girlfriend, so it's not right for her to go up to him like that.

Therefore, the only way to approach Bai Ye was to talk about work.

I was prepared to be rejected.

She had her own reasons for seeking out Bai Ye, so she brought Cai Yinong along. Even though she was rejected, it also saved her face.

Of course, if Cai Yinong goes along, they can also discuss future collaborations.

Moreover, Lin Yufen and Li Guoli will also be going with them this time.

Lin Yufen had actually told them about this. Lin Yufen was going to Bai Ye's studio, which was quite a big deal.

In the past, I wouldn't have been so conflicted.

But Lin Yufen is completely different now compared to before, both in terms of ability and fame.

Therefore, Cai Yinong was still somewhat reluctant to see Lin Yufen leave like this.

Although it can be said that Bai Ye was the one who mentored Lin Yufen.

Lin Yufen's success today is entirely due to her collaboration with Bai Ye.

However, Scarlet Heart was filmed by Lin Yu-fen.

This made Cai Yinong very reluctant to part with him; such a good director, if he were to just run away with Bai Ye like this.

However, Lin Yufen was not a formal employee of Tangren Media; she was just following her mentor, Li Guoli.

She is labeled as a member of Tangren Media, but she is not a member of Tangren Media.

Cai Yinong, of course, couldn't stop it either.

Because of a past favor between them, Lin Yufen mentioned it when she left.

Otherwise, they could have just joined White Night Studio directly; there would have been no need to mention it at all.

The collaboration between the two parties is project-based, with Lin Yufen participating as an independent director and not a contracted employee of Tangren Media.

And
Cai Yinong glanced at Liu Shishi subconsciously.

This guy's love-struck tendencies... it's like Liu Shishi will eventually be lured away by Bai Ye too!

"Let's get ready and talk to Director Lin and Guoli!"

Cai Yinong nodded, suppressing those thoughts.

If Lin Yufen wanted to leave, she definitely couldn't stop her.

Anyway, she and Lin Yufen have always been in a cooperative relationship.

Even if she signs with Baiye's studio, there will still be opportunities for collaboration in the future, so she's not in a hurry.

It's just a bit of a pity.

After all, he had invited Lin Yufen before, but she never said she wanted to sign with Tangren, instead she went to Baiye's side.

The main reason for seeking out Bai Ye this time is for future cooperation.

Downstairs from Baiye Studio.

After driving a short distance, the assistant noticed several cars following behind and immediately became alert, saying, "Boss, it seems like there are cars following us."

I think so?!
The assistant had been in the industry for a while, so he could tell that these cars weren't going that way.

I've been following them ever since I left their studio.

"Let them follow. Just drive your own car. Judging from your expression, you're not trying to speed away from them, are you?!"

As Bai Ye spoke, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

Judging from the assistant's expression, she might actually be thinking about it!
If we actually did that, it would be trending on social media that very night.

However, this time it's definitely going to be negative.

"how come!"

The assistant stated matter-of-factly that she could never have such a thought.

"There's really no way to avoid it now, since those people are after you. Why not just let them come along? It's just a normal meeting, nothing serious!"

Lin Wan didn't care.

In her view, Bai Ye is now responding to these issues in the Beijing and Hong Kong entertainment circles.

The hype has surged again, with many probably trying to capitalize on the "white night black spot" phenomenon.

So Bai Ye probably can't avoid it during this period.

"Okay, just let them follow. We should be there soon."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he ignored the car following behind him.

Behind them, two reporters were following Bai Ye's car. One of the younger reporters, who was driving, couldn't help but ask, "You said something like this just happened, where are you headed now?!"

"Do you think it might be because the pressure is too much and he needs to go out and relax?! Wouldn't that be a big news story for us?!" The young reporter suddenly added, as if he had thought of something.

But only after saying that sentence.

The reporter sitting next to him immediately changed his expression.

"Are you an idiot?! Anyone who isn't stupid knows they're being watched at this point."

Why would I possibly go out and relax with someone?!

Anyone with half a brain knows that we're being watched now.

How could I possibly do something like this at this time?

It's a shame he figured it out.

However, judging from the direction he went, some cars turned away directly.

This is! ?
"Where are we meeting for dinner?! Are we in Shanghai, or are we in or out of the entertainment industry?!"

The veteran reporter knows this place; there's a famous restaurant in Shanghai located here.

Many celebrities and businesspeople gather here.

Moreover, it offers excellent privacy; you basically can't get in.

They're clearly here to meet up for a meal.

His first thought was whether Bai Ye had invited someone from inside or outside the entertainment industry, and whether that person was a male or female celebrity.

"What do we do now?! We can't get in!"

"Wait!"

Although I can't get in.

But the best course of action now is to wait.

There's nothing else we can do but wait.

We can only wait and see if we can catch them coming out together.

After seeing Bai Ye get out of the car with her manager and assistant.

He was also a little disappointed; his agent and assistant had been brought along, so it seemed like they were discussing business matters.

That kind of topic wouldn't be very interesting.

But he certainly wouldn't leave at this point.

Even if there's nothing there, I've been squatting here for so long, I should at least have gained something, right?
If we leave now, we'll truly have nothing left. Staying means there's always a glimmer of hope.

During mealtime.

The waiter led Bai Ye and the others into the treasure chest.

The lineup was similar to the last time: Liu Shishi, Cai Yinong, Li Guoli, and Lin Yufen.

Bai Ye was actually a little surprised that they would come looking for him at this time.

"Mr. K, it's been a long time! Seriously, you don't seem to care at all?!"

"Care?! What do I care about?!"

Bai Ye's first sentence completely stumped Cai Yinong.

What is it that I should care about?!
“Aren’t Hong Kong celebrities and Taiwanese celebrities often linked together?”

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it's something that everyone is aware of.

After hearing what Bai Ye said, she suddenly realized what it was.

So he's implying that he has close ties with the Taiwanese entertainment industry?!

indeed
She was close to the Taiwanese side, but Cai Yinong wasn't stupid at this point.

Taiwanese celebrities are all moving to mainland China.

Now, I've offended someone who's heavily promoted in Shanghai's entertainment circle because of Wanwan.

She must be crazy to make that choice.

Moreover, this time the main groups being organized are from the Hong Kong and Beijing circles.

"We've collaborated many times before, how could we possibly cut ties with you over this? There might even be many more opportunities to work together in the future!"

Upon seeing this, Cai Yinong immediately spoke up.

To make it clear that you want to cooperate with Bai Ye.

Lin Yufen, standing nearby, nodded and chimed in, "That's right. We're already here, how could we let those online comments affect anything?!"
Actually, I'm in a similar situation to you. They're criticizing you, but they didn't drag me into it. Let's sign the contract today, and then we'll show everyone how powerful we are!

Lin Yufen is really annoying.

After all, I haven't done anything to offend anyone.

She and Bai Ye were dragged into this mess because of the insults; they were truly innocent victims.

This time, I came here directly to discuss the signing of the contract with Bai Ye.

Liu Shishi, who was standing nearby, widened her eyes in disbelief upon hearing the two's words.

No way? !

Lin Yufen is going to sign with Baiye Studio?!
I've never heard of this before.
She glanced at Cai Yinong and Li Guoli subconsciously, and after seeing their unchanged expressions, she realized that they both knew, and she was the only one who didn't!

If Lin Yufen joins Bai Ye's studio afterward, wouldn't that give me an even better chance of getting the female lead role?!
After all, Bai Ye and Lin Yufen are already familiar with each other!
But the next second, she also felt a little sad.

The main issue is that Yang Mi is right in front of us, and now all the resources will probably go through Yang Mi.

"That was just my petty thinking."

Bai Ye sat down and stopped talking.

He was just a little curious, and since that's what they all thought, he didn't need to think about it anymore.

"It's not that I'm petty, after all, anyone would think about this in your situation. Speaking of which, you are..."

As Liu Shishi spoke, she raised her thumb and gestured to Bai Ye.

It has to be said that she truly admired Liu Shishi.

If it were me in this situation, I probably wouldn't have dared to respond so directly.

After all, if he completely offended someone, he would be different from Bai Ye.

"Don't you think about it? If we compromise and give in this time, what about next time?!"

After Bai Ye finished speaking, Liu Shishi nodded in agreement. That was indeed the case.

At this moment, Bai Ye didn't dare to step forward, as he was in a favorable situation.

As a result, people talked about him so much that he didn't dare to show his face at all.

After that, they probably won't dare to show their faces again, because then not everyone will dare to step on them.

However, Cai Yinong, who was standing to the side, did not feel that this was a good thing; she felt embarrassed.

no? !
It feels like this is talking about myself!

Cai Yinong recalled the time when she had tried to manipulate Bai Ye by taking advantage of Liu Shishi's feelings.

As a result, my subsequent actions put both of us in an awkward position, but thankfully the relationship returned to normal afterward.

Cai Yinong didn't dwell on it; the matter was already resolved.

Let's talk about other things.

She looked at Bai Ye earnestly and asked, "What's next?! What are your plans? Would you like to act in our drama? We're preparing a TV series adapted from a game, similar to Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, called Xuan-Yuan Sword!"

Although the company internally wanted Hu Ge and Liu Shishi to mentor newcomers for the TV series Xuan-Yuan Sword.

However, if Bai Ye were to participate, she could still consider it. After all, if he were to participate and form a dual male lead pairing with Hu Ge, the ratings would definitely explode.

And they are all adapted from games.

The two also have a connection through the Legend of Sword and Fairy series; they were both rivals and friends in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, and the same applies in Xuan-Yuan Sword.

From this perspective, it has plenty of selling points.

However, this drama is still in the internal planning stage and will not be filmed for the time being. At this point, it mainly depends on whether Bai Ye has the availability.

"Well... I think I should prioritize filming projects from my own company right now. I still have some scripts on hand."

Bai Ye shook his head; he didn't agree either.

They can't even finish filming their own company's productions, how could they possibly film other companies'?

If Tangren wants to cooperate with me, it's definitely not a simple collaboration. It wouldn't be right if I didn't contribute something in return.

I heard that Tangren recently signed a batch of new artists.

He knew very well what Cai Yinong was up to.

Hearing Bai Ye's words, a hint of disappointment flashed across Cai Yinong's face. She had anticipated that Bai Ye wouldn't fall for her trap.

But then again, Cai Yinong suddenly felt that looking at it from a different perspective might actually be okay?!

"Then we can collaborate! Look at Shishi, she's been a long-time collaborator. If the two of you work together, it's sure to be a hit!"

Cai Yinong didn't mention anyone else, only Liu Shishi.

After all, others would be rejected by Bai Ye, but Liu Shishi has a higher chance of success.

Upon hearing Cai Yinong's words, Liu Shishi's eyes lit up, and then she silently turned her head to look at Bai Ye.

"How about this, I won't take advantage of you. I have a copyright here called 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.' We've actually developed the copyright for this work internally."

But we haven't been able to move forward. I can give you the copyright, and we can develop it together.

I have high hopes for this work, but the company can't adapt it internally. Then there's Xuan-Yuan Sword. I can give you a role then, and you can arrange it with someone from your studio.

"You need to produce a TV series, it can't be too bad, at least it should be similar to Pinocchio, with Shishi as the female lead, the rest is up to you, how about that?!"

Cai Yinong no longer took advantage of Bai Ye.

I actually came here with the intention of getting something for free.

But upon further reflection, she did show her sincerity.

Anyway, give him a character from the novel "White Night Xuan-Yuan Sword".

He wants the lead role, so I'll give it to him; he wants a supporting role, so I'll give it to him too.

But I'll only give one out, in exchange for the copyright of the novel "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

no way.

If I don't use it now, it will expire.

Since they were still clueless, Cai Yinong gave this to Bai Ye to try.

Then she switched to another TV series, but she didn't ask Bai Ye for the movie.

I'm taking a TV series, so of course I want a TV series too.

Besides, Cai Yinong thinks the TV series is pretty good too.

If there were a wildly popular TV series like Pinocchio.

Then Liu Shishi's popularity would surpass Yang Mi's and the others.

Even surpassing Liu Yifei?!

"I do have a script here that's quite suitable, but I'm not sure if it will pass censorship. How about we discuss it further later?"

"Okay, fine. The script that can't pass censorship doesn't have that kind of plot, right?!"

Cai Yinong paused for a moment; she didn't want Liu Shishi to film such explicit scenes!

This is completely different from the persona she marketed herself to be.

"Of course not, it's just that it might involve some ghostly or supernatural content, which might not pass censorship."

Originally, Bai Ye was still struggling with who to cast for the TV series "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God".

Although Liu Shishi's style is different from the original female lead's.

But when it comes to style, as long as you're the first to come up with it, people will think that's how it is!
He should just let Liu Shishi hone her acting skills.

Come to think of it, among the works he collaborated on with Liu Shishi, he only played supporting roles in TV dramas, but they did collaborate on two movies.

Collaborating on a TV series as lead actors and creating a memorable on-screen couple seems like a good idea, doesn't it?
"Well, you could try talking to someone higher up. After all, you're a celebrity now, maybe they'll give you special treatment?"

Cai Yinong chuckled silently.

But then again, it seems possible, since Bai Ye currently has a very good relationship with the Shanghai authorities.

Maybe they'll open the back door this time just for Bai Ye's sake?!
However, there's a possibility that this drama might not pass censorship after it's filmed; the key lies in how it's handled in post-production.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We can talk about it later. Let's eat first!"

Seeing that the deal had been reached, Cai Yinong stopped talking about these things.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't talk much to Bai Ye, but chatted with Lin Wan, giving Liu Shishi and Bai Ye more time.

"If you have the chance later, remember to contact me. I'm definitely the cheapest among the others."

Liu Shishi whispered something in Bai Ye's ear.

Just because she was listening doesn't mean she didn't have any thoughts at all.

What if Yang Mi steals the opportunity to work with Bai Ye?

Shouldn't I cry?!

"It's still very early stages, and I might even be taking a break this year. We'll have to see how it goes. By the way, Senior Sister, are you going to Harper's Bazaar?!"

"Go, didn't you say you were going?! Of course I went too, and I think they all went too!"

The "they" that Liu Shishi was referring to were, of course, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Yifei.

After all, Bai Ye went, so it wouldn't make sense for me not to go, especially since the other three went too.

If I don't go, won't she be accused of being scared?
"That's fine."

Bai Ye rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat troubled.

He agreed and will definitely go.

But having just broken up with Yang Mi, and about to meet her again soon, I have a really indescribable feeling.

Not right either.
It seems like Liu Shishi was one too?!
"By the way, have you thought about the publicity for the Embroidered Spring Blade?!"

"I'm clueless. If all else fails, I'll see if I get any program invitations. There's no need to rush that."

There's still some time before Brotherhood of Blades is released, so there will be plenty of opportunities for promotion in the meantime.

The two chatted about other things for a while, and at the end of the meal, Bai Ye and the others came out of the restaurant together.

The reporters waiting outside the door were almost asleep.

Upon seeing Bai Ye and Liu Shishi, they immediately perked up and started taking pictures.

"Bai Ye and Liu Shishi are going to collaborate?! Quickly take a picture and then post it when you get back!"

Bai Ye is currently receiving a lot of attention.

Even if it's a collaboration, Liu Shishi is currently under immense pressure working with Bai Ye.

This is big news!

After all, the boss of Tangren Media and Bai Ye's agent were both there.

No one would have guessed that this was a romantic relationship.

That night.

Bai Ye's late-night rendezvous with Liu Shishi sparked rumors of a possible collaboration, instantly becoming a trending topic.

The two did not try to hide it.

【What?! They're working together again?! Aren't they working a little too closely together?! Are they really not seeing each other?!】

I heard that Liu Shishi and Bai Ye had a special relationship in the new Three Kingdoms series, but I don't know for sure now!

[Isn't it with Yang Mi?!]

I'm not sure, but a friend from the "My Love from the Star" cast said that Bai Ye and Yang Mi were very close.

【Neptune?!】

[It was just a one-time collaboration, and he's already a player? Besides, Yang Mi and Bai Ye are siblings! What are you all speculating about?!]

[Little Lion, cheer up! They've finally collaborated again! This is definitely the CP I've been most looking forward to!]

Is it a modern drama or a period drama?! Is it a continuation of the Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao story, or is it about Shen Jiayi and Ke Jingteng?!

[It should be modern, right?! I remember they collaborated on a movie called Brotherhood of Blades before?!]

[Yes, yes, yes! It will be released this year!!]

The two are trending on social media.

Most of it is speculation about the collaboration.

After all, Cai Yinong and Lin Wan were both there. Anyone who pays close attention to the two of them knows that one is Liu Shishi's boss and the other is Bai Ye's agent.

The two of them arranged to have dinner together; what else could that be but a collaboration?!

And wasn't Bai Ye recently rumored to have been blacklisted by Beijing's elite circles?!
Looking at it now, Bai Ye is still alive and well, isn't he?!
It didn't hinder Bai Ye's cooperation with others at all.

The collaboration between the two parties was not surprising, after all, Bai Ye debuted in a Tangren drama.

After that, the two sides had many collaborations, especially since they were both from the Shanghai entertainment circle.

If Bai Ye can't make it in other circles, is he really going to be unable to even make it in the Shanghai circle?!
This is obviously impossible!

However, upon seeing this news, some were happy while others were worried.

Yang Mi was also gritting her teeth as she looked at the trending topic, clutching a doll tightly in her hand.

She wished she could just tear the doll in her hand to shreds, just like Bai Ye.

What a scumbag!
This dog man!!!
You just broke up with me and then went to see Liu Shishi, right?!

Bai Ye was feeling so bad just now, but then he turned around and ran to find Liu Shishi.

OK OK! ! !
Did this guy already plan to break up with me and then get back together with Liu Shishi?

That's why he broke up with me!
Thinking of this, Yang Mi picked up her phone, ready to call and scold Bai Ye, but her hand stopped abruptly on the dial button.

A sense of powerlessness spread throughout Yang Mi's body.

I'm numb!!
It doesn't seem like I have any reason to go and yell at that jerk right now!

Seamless integration?!
I myself transitioned seamlessly back then.

And if Liu Shishi answers the phone, wouldn't that be very awkward for me?

Who knows, Liu Shishi might just stick her face to him and unleash her ultimate move.

Despite their seemingly restored relationship in "My Love from the Star".

But Yang Mi really couldn't be sure if Liu Shishi had any other ideas.

Within this circle, never completely trust one person.

It seems that your sister has lost all her tricks now.

At this moment, she slumped on the sofa like a dead fish, staring blankly at the ceiling, cursing the dog of a man.

She just wanted to bite this bastard right now!
