Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 245 - Warm-up for "My Love from the Star"!

"Tang Yan, don't get so into it. You're not A Zhe, why are you making such a dramatic comparison?!"

Off camera.

Lin Yufen watched Tang Yan's immersive performance.

Originally, Xiaotang's story with Azhe wasn't actually that sad.

In the script, Xiaotang might have had a slight crush on Azhe during her youth.

But there shouldn't have been such a sad expression on her face later on.

Moreover, the entire story of this music video revolves around A Zhe, the character played by Bai Ye.

Qiuya got married, and you...
The photographer's emotional fluctuations as he gets into character are evident during the shoot.
Tang Yan apologized somewhat sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Director Lin, I did get a little too immersed in the role just now."

I did get a little carried away just now, but it's all Bai Ye's fault.

Why write this story so sadly?

Thinking of this, Tang Yan glanced at Bai Ye with a hint of resentment. She had just gotten into character and was actually feeling a little sorry for A Zhe, the character Bai Ye had created.

From Xiaotang's perspective, perhaps Xiaotang used to like Azhe.

However, due to certain reasons, the two sides missed each other.

Um.
Putting myself in his shoes, I feel like I'm A Zhe in real life. If I hadn't been brave enough, maybe I would have missed my chance with Bai Ye too?

"Sister Tangtang, be more professional and stop being so sentimental. This is just a script. Look at you, you're making me look like a scumbag who just cheated on you."

Meeting Tang Yan's resentful gaze, Bai Ye was actually somewhat puzzled.

That can't be right!

I don't think I did anything special.

Is this story really that touching?!
Bai Ye not only didn't find it particularly touching, but she also felt that A Zhe was actually a bit of a simp.

She's already showing her pregnancy, and you still haven't gotten over it.

If it weren't for the fact that all these songs had to be linked together...

I certainly wouldn't have written such a story myself.

On the contrary, Bai Ye really didn't expect that Tang Yan could get so into character.

"You don't understand. Girls are bound to be more sentimental. If you were A-Zhe and I were Xiao-Tang, I definitely wouldn't let you miss out."

Tang Yan's words had a double meaning.

Ji Rujing, who was listening nearby, felt her eyelids twitch.

She glanced at Bai Ye subconsciously, and seeing that Bai Ye's expression didn't seem to change, she could only think that she was probably overthinking it.

They were just talking about the characters in the show.

It shouldn't have anything to do with what I think.

Maybe? !

Ji Rujing was also somewhat unsure.

We can only assume that Tang Yan was too deeply involved in the situation.

However, this character is indeed written to be quite tragic.

Ji Rujing had just read the script and naturally felt a bit of sympathy for the character.

"Sister Tangtang, I'm not like A Zhe. If Xiao Tang leaves, I'll probably leave even faster than her!"

"."

Do we even need to compare these?!

Tang Yan opened her mouth, but the emotions she had been building up vanished instantly.

It feels like I've been preparing for this for a very, very long time.

Then Bai Ye said something that left Tang Yan speechless.

Good guy.
He can run faster than Xiaotang?!
Lin Yufen rubbed her forehead, saying somewhat helplessly, "Stop talking about who can run faster, let's hurry up and finish filming the music video!!!"

They just started running right away?!

To be honest, Bai Ye really is capable of doing that.

After Lin Yufen said that, the two immediately got into filming.

Because my Girls' Generation is about to start filming, they know they can't waste too much time on music videos.

The content that was supposed to be filmed in three days was completed in just one and a half days.

While exceeding her target, Tang Yan, having nothing to do, started thinking about going on a date with Bai Ye.

"Professor Bai, I heard Xing is going to be promoted?!"

Tang Yan looked at Bai Ye with a grin.

Recently, "My Love from the Star" has started generating buzz.

It will still be broadcast on Hunan TV and Shanghai TV, while simultaneously streaming on Tencent Video.

Since the copyright issue, Tencent has strengthened its ties with Baiye.

The practice of broadcasting simultaneously on the internet and television is not a recent development.

Last year, in 2010, video websites such as Tudou and Youku began to officially purchase the copyrights of film and television dramas and at the same time try to update content in sync with TV stations.

It's not that no one had approached Baiye before, it's just that the offers they made were too low.

Bai Ye was unwilling.

Penguins are really rich and generous; they're quick to pay up.

Because a cameo appearance by the poet Li Bai was added to one episode of "My Love from the Star," the series has an extra episode, making it 22 episodes in total.

Both TV stations and Tencent invited Bai Ye directly to the studio for discussions.

Because it involves being broadcast together online.

Therefore, this time, Bai Ye offered the same price.

200 million per episode!
The price per episode is definitely very high.

Not only did he break Bai Ye's own record, but nowadays it can be said that no other TV series in the Chinese entertainment industry sells for more than Bai Ye's!
But almost every drama Bai Ye stars in has high viewership ratings!

Just like the previous drama "Legend of Chu and Han," there were rumors in the industry this year that this drama would definitely win an award.

It's either Bai Ye or Chen Daoming.

Chen Daoming probably isn't very interested in awards for TV dramas.

Moreover, anyone who isn't blind can see that in the Legend of Chu and Han, Bai Ye actually outshines Chen Daoming in many of his performances.

So if an award were to be given to one of the main actors in The Legend of Chu and Han, it would probably go to Bai Ye, both logically and emotionally.

Having awards doesn't necessarily make an actor more popular in the industry; popularity is the key factor.

Even if you have a lot of awards, so what?!

If you don't have popularity, then you can't compete with those popular actors.

Ultimately, TV dramas are meant to be sold.

People buy tickets based on the fame of the lead actors, supporting actors, and director.

But the White Night is different!

If Bai Ye gains popularity now, and then receives an award, that would be the icing on the cake!

Besides, Day Night is different from other TV dramas!

They often have forty or fifty episodes, and the content is all padded. Day and Night only has twenty-odd episodes, but the total amount spent on purchasing them is actually about the same as those.

Moreover, they have a good reputation, which guarantees high viewership ratings.

What's more, My Love from the Star has a strong lineup!
The cast includes Bai Ye, who is very likely to win the Best Actor award this year, as well as Huang Xiaoming and Yang Mi, and the duo Da Tang Shi Xian.

There's also a classic combination: director Lin Yufen and lead actress Bai Ye.

With this cast, and two million per episode, the two TV stations gritted their teeth and bought it directly, since they earn enough every year.

With the TV series "Day and Night" on the show, we have more leverage when negotiating advertising fees with advertisers.

Not to mention the deep-pocketed penguins.

They did the math: last time, Baiye brought them tens of millions of new users, and how much did they spend on buying the copyright?!

Having profited last time, they are naturally happy to cooperate with Bai Ye this time as well.

Buy it!

Consider it an investment in Baiye. Besides, when they watched My Love from the Star internally before, the people at Tencent didn't understand My Love from the Star; they just thought it was pretty good.

But the two TV stations are different!

They gave me an SSS-level resource right away!

So this penguin may not understand film and television, but it respects technology!

Everyone thinks this show is very good.

Let's talk about whether this money was well spent!

With the recent overwhelming publicity, the news of "Star Is Coming" has become widely known.

Tang Yan certainly knew this.

Moreover, she spoke directly to Bai Ye right at the start of the promotional campaign.

She simply refused to believe that Bai Ye could still claim to be unable to even catch the juicy gossip this time.

"Oh, Tangtang, you're actually quite interested in this show?!"

After hearing Tang Yan's words, Bai Ye couldn't help but make a joke.

This show is definitely going to air. Tencent will probably increase its promotional resources.

Last time, my dramas attracted a lot of newcomers to Tencent Video.

However, it's clear that Tencent is still somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, that's not enough; they're thinking that many people have already seen these shows.

Therefore, there will definitely be a group of people who won't register their own video websites just for these shows.

Then let's switch to another one!
Instead, we'll buy new dramas and have them broadcast simultaneously!
They simply don't believe that those who missed the TV broadcast will be able to resist clicking on Penguin Video to watch it!
So, Tencent has been working really hard lately.

Tencent Video discovered that this was much cheaper than spending money to buy traffic and then attract new users.

"Oh, that's right~ After all, it's related to whether we can have our date this afternoon. Do you want to participate in any activities?!"

Tang Yan nodded, then asked.

How could I not care?

She finally had some time, but Bai Ye didn't.

With "My Love from the Star" airing, Bai Ye will probably have to make time to attend.

Tang Yan originally wanted to take advantage of the break after the MV shooting to go on a date with Bai Ye.

But I can't possibly force Bai Ye not to go to work, can I?
Putting aside the fact that Bai Ye, as both an investor and the male lead, must prioritize cooperating with the TV station and Tencent's pre-event promotional activities.

People paid money to buy your show, and you're not even willing to promote it? That's unacceptable for a celebrity.

Of course, she can understand on the surface, but secretly, she will still be jealous.

However, because the drama "My Love from the Star" included a cameo role by the poet Li Bai, she did take it to heart.

Given the recent chaotic situation online, Tang Yan was actually quite concerned about whether Bai Ye could handle things well.

"Of course I'll participate, after all, this drama... Anyway, I'll definitely participate."

Bai Ye gave Tang Yan an apologetic look.

This time, there's definitely no way I can refuse.

They gave too much.

Two million per episode!

That is to say, one company gave him 44 million, and the three companies combined gave him 132 million.

With so much money, how long has this show been filmed?! And how much was the budget?!

People bought the show because of you and paid so much money, and now you're not even willing to promote it.

That would likely affect their reputation within the industry.

"Quickbook?"

Tang Yan asked, and Bai Ye shook his head, replying:
"No, it's a promotional program for Tencent. Currently, the main promotion is done by Tencent, but Hunan TV and Shanghai TV will also embed advertisements on their channels."

The main focus of the promotion is on Tencent, and online promotion currently seems to offer the best cost-effectiveness and reach.

So I only accepted one promotional job from Tencent. I won't be on Happy Camp anytime soon; it's not good to be on too much.

Hunan TV originally wanted to arrange for Bai Ye to appear on Day Day Up.

But after thinking about it, I gave up.

The main difference between "Day Day Up" and "Happy Camp" is that they focus on different things.

Happy Camp is positioned as a variety entertainment program, while Day Day Up is a cultural and public welfare talk show.

While it's possible to appear on it, promotional dramas are usually shown on variety shows like Happy Camp.

"Then you don't have much either!"

Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief; she had originally thought that Bai Ye had arranged the entire schedule.

"There were originally quite a few, but seeing that some people seemed quite interested in being with me, I turned down those and only kept the penguin promotions."

"Why?!"

Shouldn't we have kept the ones from Shanghai?

After all, Shanghai TV is nearby.

"They sent someone over, and they only wanted to ask some questions. If it were a TV station, the recording would probably take a long time."

"Oh~" Tang Yan nodded knowingly, then asked, "So, are you going tonight?!"

"You can pick me up in the afternoon and then in the evening, and we can drive around together."

It was supposed to be at night.

However, because the music video was filmed quickly enough, Bai Ye and the other party moved up the time a bit.

Penguin naturally wouldn't refuse, and their people had already arrived.

We just need to wait for Bai Ye to arrive. Now that Bai Ye is asking for an interview ahead of schedule, there's naturally no reason to refuse.

"Sure, I'll pick you up tonight, but I hope we won't get photographed by reporters!"

As she said this, Tang Yan's eyes unconsciously glanced at Bai Ye.

Although she said she was worried, she knew very well in her heart that she was actually hoping to be photographed.

If you get photographed, just admit it directly.

However, the key depends on Bai Ye's attitude.

Besides, there's another problem!

That's a three-month relationship. If they're still together after three months, then I'll naturally be happy to admit it.

But what if we break up?

Wouldn't that be laughable?!

Moreover, he had betrayed Yang Mi and Liu Shishi.

She's also a good friend of Yang Mi and Liu Shishi!

She turned around and got together with Bai Ye, what kind of nonsense is that?!
We can't be friends anymore after that.
No!

This cannot be exposed!

Tang Yan, who had originally thought about exposing the scandal, immediately gave up after thinking about Liu Shishi and Yang Mi.

Unless she marries Bai Ye, this matter must never be exposed.

I must stay true to my original intention; I didn't even tell Ji Rujing back then.

It would be hilarious if a reporter took a picture of it.

"Sister Tangtang, is there a problem with being photographed sitting in a car?!"

"this."

Tang Yan paused, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

But before she could speak, Bai Ye spoke first.

"Look, we filmed the music video together today, and next time we'll film my teenage years together."

We didn't go to a hotel room, so even if we were photographed, it doesn't mean we were.

"Then you could just say we just finished work and want to go out and have some fun, right?"

Isn't there a legitimate reason?!
Bai Ye actually knew what Tang Yan was thinking.

He didn't care; he had already prepared himself mentally for being with Yang Mi in the first place.

Now that I'm with Tang Yan, I don't feel as much psychological pressure as I did before.

Therefore, compared to Tang Yan, Bai Ye was more indifferent.

However, whether Tang Yan is indifferent or not, he feels that she probably can't do it.

"Yes, you're right. I didn't think of that just now. You can go with your assistant later."

Let me know when you're done filming here, and I'll wait for you in the TV station's underground parking lot or somewhere nearby.

Or you could give me a spot, I'll come find you, and we can drive around together for a bit.

It would be impossible for me not to want to go on a date with Bai Ye.

As long as there's still the worry of being exposed.

After Bai Ye said that, Tang Yan was no longer worried.

Anyway, if they get photographed later, they can just say they had a meal together after work.

Even if there are rumors, as long as there is no concrete evidence, it doesn't matter to me.

Besides, this feeling is quite exciting.

They're celebrities, after all.

There is no freedom. Basically, wherever you go, you will be watched, and everything you do will be magnified.

But there's just a strange feeling about it.

It's hard to put into words, it's like knowing that reporters are following you, but you still insist on doing it anyway.

They dated right under the noses of reporters, then slipped away unnoticed.

That feeling was indeed quite exciting for Tang Yan to think about.

Of course, playing with fire can lead to self-immolation.

So we definitely need to make a good plan for the future.

First, I need to get rid of the reporters first, and then I need to tell Ji Rujing that I'll have dinner with Bai Ye that evening.

If she is photographed later, Ji Rujing can immediately handle the crisis.

Let's prioritize safety first!
