Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 267 - Album Pricing, Newcomer Singer Bai Ye!
"Is the new song's music video going to be released tomorrow?!"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Tang Yan, on the other end of the phone, couldn't help but let a glint of light flash in her eyes.

At times like these, it's impossible to say you don't want to participate at all.

She just didn't want to get herself into trouble.

I have a good relationship with Yang Mi and Liu Shishi.

In this current standpoint, although it's just fans of both sides getting involved, I myself might make some pointed remarks to try and gain attention.

Or perhaps it's to subtly influence someone's opinion.

But all of this is based on the premise that their interests may align with those of a certain party.

You'll either side with Yang Mi or stand against her.

It's clear that, regardless of their friendship, Liu Shishi and Yang Mi are now on opposing sides on this issue.

If I were to get involved in this, I would only have the option of choosing either Liu Shishi or Yang Mi.

This is the most difficult part.

Once you make that choice, you're doomed.

The fans are fighting over interests.

I'm different.

Joining a group on your own will almost certainly mean facing the prospect of being betrayed by a sister.

So after weighing the pros and cons, she ultimately decided not to get involved.

The benefits they gained were few, while the disadvantages were many.

But that doesn't mean Tang Yan doesn't want to find an opportunity to ride the wave of popularity.

Now that Bai Ye says the music video is going to be released, she naturally has some expectations.

My popularity hasn't dropped much recently, after all, I had a cameo in My Love from the Star, so at least I got some screen time.

Even though it was just a cameo appearance in such a popular TV series, she has gained a lot of fans recently.

So I've benefited quite a bit from the popularity of "My Love from the Star".

That's why there's been such a fierce online debate lately.

"My Love from the Star" is just too exaggerated. Even the supporting actors can reap such huge benefits, let alone Yang Mi.

It was because of Yang Mi that Tang Yan felt a sense of crisis.

After this incident, Yang Mi's popularity in China will be unmatched for at least the next few years.

Yang Mi is really amazing this year.

Even if Tang Yan wanted to be more at peace, there was nothing she could do!

Now it seems I can secretly develop a bit more again.

How could Tang Yan not care?!

Just as she was lost in thought, Bai Ye's voice came through, interrupting her thoughts: "Yes, the music video will be released tomorrow."

Otherwise, I might not have enough time to promote it later.

Let's check the album sales first. If they're decent, we might consider holding an autograph session!

The immense popularity of "My Love from the Star" disrupted Baiye's schedule.

I should have been able to focus on filming during this time.

But because of the huge success of "My Love from the Star," he started doing promotional activities all over Asia.

This resulted in his film shooting progress slowing down, and he was not even in the country when his album was released.

Even when the movie is released, I probably won't be able to come back to promote it.

We also talked to Cai Yinong about the publicity for "Brotherhood of Blades". They are in charge of publicity, which means they will bring the original group of people, except for Bai Ye.

The director, the female lead, and several other actors went to promote the event together.

Then Bai Ye went to promote Star You, and the other party agreed without even thinking about it.

Why? !
Bai Ye can't come back anyway, and even if we force her to, she can't come!
Secondly, Bai Ye's absence from publicity actually enhances the sense of mystery.

Besides, the most important thing is that it doesn't matter whether Bai Ye comes or not.

Ultimately, it all comes down to popularity!

With the increased exposure of "My Love from the Star," "Brotherhood of Blades" has essentially received a massive online promotion.

Now, any work related to "White Night" will basically attract everyone's attention.

So it's fine even if people don't go.

Anyway, as long as this sign gets out there, that's fine.

Even so, this still completely disrupted Bai Ye's timeline.

For now, we can only continue at the previous pace, since the album isn't Baiye's main focus anyway.

The main problem is that if we don't use so many songs now, we probably won't be able to use them in the future.

From Lin Wan's perspective, this was just Bai Ye testing the waters, and Bai Ye's focus wouldn't be on being a singer, so Lin Wan naturally wasn't very interested.

This is actually quite normal.

In the past, singers actually earned more money than actors in the entertainment industry.

Back then, releasing an album could earn you a lot of money; actors didn't earn as much as singers.

However, with rampant piracy and the emergence of MP3s, singers have become increasingly sluggish, while actors' salaries are constantly rising.

As a result, many actors who previously considered switching careers to become singers have given up on that idea.

After all, singers don't make much money; they only gain some fame, so naturally no one is interested in getting into it.

They didn't put much effort into the album, even though they burned quite a few copies.

But they all went with the mindset of losing money.

The music video and album pre-sale were released together.

For pre-orders, please use the link pinned by Baiye on Weibo.

Offline, they collaborate with record stores, following the traditional approach.

However, many audio-visual stores have closed down, so the focus has shifted to online sales.

"Then I'll promote it for you too, since I did appear in the music video!"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Tang Yan immediately thought of a way to ride the wave of popularity.

Of course, the main reason is also to support Baiye.

I was just worried that with all this recent buzz, I couldn't get a chance to ride it.

The release of Bai Ye's album generated a lot of buzz, so I guess I'm able to ride that wave too, right?
"Let's promote it tonight! I can see you're itching to do it too!"

Bai Ye made a joke.

"How do you know it?"

"I know you too well, Tangtang. I can tell what you're thinking the moment you move."

Tang Yan suspected that Bai Ye was driving, but she had no evidence.

However, she was indeed itching to make a move.

But she still caught a key point: "You mean you're posting it tonight?! Your Weibo is going to explode tonight!"

Tang Yan really wanted to see what kind of bloody storm would erupt on Bai Ye's Weibo right now.

The recent events are all related to Bai Ye.

But Bai Ye doesn't participate in the group!
They never showed up, so initially Yang Mi's fans, Liu Shishi's fans, and even Zhao Li and Jing Tian's fans...

I used to leave comments in Baiye's comment section.

But when they realized that Bai Ye really wasn't showing up, the group gave up.

Thus began their respective battlefields.

But what does today's bubbling during the day signify?

The battle tonight was already intense.

The person involved has also shown up, and regardless of the reason, he will definitely be affected.

"I want to keep a low profile, but my abilities won't allow it!!"

I really want to punch you!!!

As Tang Yan spoke, she waved her little fist, but then realized that Bai Ye didn't seem to be there either.

She reluctantly withdrew her hand.

She had to admit that Bai Ye's words were really asking for a beating.

What does it mean to want to keep a low profile, but your abilities won't allow it?

no? !
How did Bai Ye come up with that idea?!

Tang Yan silently memorized those words, and she was determined to say them one day when she had the chance!
"Alright, Tangtang, I'll hang up now and not talk to you anymore. I'll think about the caption and then I'll post it. You can go check out the gossip on Weibo."

"Oh~"

Tang Yan responded and hung up the phone, but a slight unease crept into her heart.

That's it, I'll just go and watch the show.
Although only a short while has passed, it seems that various parties have launched their smear campaigns.

It's clear that the internet is in complete chaos right now.

Basically, they'll release whatever dirt they have.

"Won't this expose Bai Ye's relationship?!"

Tang Yan is also a little curious now, although most of the topics have nothing to do with Bai Ye.

But it's related to Bai Ye.

Perhaps one of these people will actually be unable to resist and self-destruct?

Is it Liu Shishi or Yang Mi?!

impossible!
Based on her understanding of Liu Shishi's personality, she probably wouldn't do such a thing.

As for Yang Mi, she's currently in the upper hand, so naturally she wouldn't expose this matter.

Or is there someone else?!
Could it be that Bai Ye has only had two relationships in the entertainment industry?!
After breaking up with Liu Shishi, there was a gap period in between.

From this perspective, it's quite possible.

If this really comes out, then it seems to be true.
As she was thinking, Tang Yan couldn't hold back her emotions any longer after seeing a photo.

"Wait!? How did they manage to post that picture of the 'Tender Beef Wrap'?"

When Tang Yan saw this photo, she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer.

Yang Mi's slightly square chin, although it does look a bit exaggerated due to the angle.

But it must be said that when this photo was released, it certainly caused quite a stir among the fans.

[I've reported this!!! Who released this?! This kind of fake news carries legal consequences; expect a lawyer's letter!!]

[Hehe!! Isn't this your Mimi?! What? You don't recognize her?!]

And who is this fat pig?!

[No, this isn't malicious photoshopping. Is the "Fairy Sister" really that fat?!]

The fans of each group have gradually lost control.

Tang Yan felt that she was lucky to have behaved herself.

Otherwise, I might really be affected.

Cherry blossoms.

Yang Mi was furious after seeing some negative information about herself online.

"No way!? Are you out of your mind?! Using this photo to make a fuss!!!"

If Yang Mi had to pick the photo she hates the most, it would definitely be this one.

To be honest, Yang Mi's face is indeed a little square.

But it's definitely not as exaggerated as this photo.

"That's normal. Right now, the entire internet is attacking you, frantically searching for your flaws!"

Zeng Jia was somewhat troubled.

Yang Mi's fans seem to have a significant advantage right now.

But Zeng Jia knew very well in her heart that this was not a long-term solution!
If we keep being attacked like this, we probably won't be able to hold on much longer.

Moreover, if this kind of fan war goes too far, it may have a negative impact, and they might get warned in the end.

Things were looking good for Yang Mi, but something bad might be about to happen.

But at this crucial moment, Yang Mi was also caught in a dilemma.

If Yang Mi were to admit defeat so easily, what would others think of her?!

At the height of her popularity like "My Love from the Star," she's already giving up so early. Won't everyone be able to step on Yang Mi's toes in the future?!
"Then we'll also publish more smear articles about other people!!!"

Yang Mi couldn't swallow this insult. Since everyone was attacking her, she could attack them in return!
They even published smear articles against themselves!

"Going down is fine, but if it causes a huge impact, it might not be good."

Zeng Jia was relatively calm compared to Yang Mi.

She didn't directly agree to Yang Mi's request, but instead explained what it would mean if she were to do it at this time.

"We can't just swallow all of this like that, can we?!"

"Actually, you didn't lose out, did you?!"

Zeng Jia said something meaningful.

Yang Mi has not only not suffered any losses, but it can even be said that she currently has an advantage.

Most importantly, they haven't even released any smear campaign articles yet.

As a result, Yang Mi gained the upper hand.

If it goes down, I simply can't imagine it.

"That's true, you're right, I shouldn't take any action right now."

After calming down, Yang Mi did realize that her reaction had been somewhat excessive.

There's really nothing I should do at this point.

What just happened to me?
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could I not know what I should be doing at this point?!
"And what about Bai Ye?! Is he still the same as before?!"

Yang Mi asked curiously, then shook her head and said, "Never mind what he thinks, let's post ours first!"

As she spoke, she sent out the edited text and pictures.

Enjoying barbecue with beer~

In the picture, Bai Ye is making a peace sign, with barbecue and beer laid out in front of the two of them.

How could Yang Mi not capitalize on this trend?!
Just kidding!
This is his own way of gaining popularity from "My Love from the Star," while others are just riding on his coattails. He's paying tribute to himself!

Everyone else was eating tonight, so of course I was eating too, especially since I was eating with Bai Ye!
Shortly after this photo was posted, the hashtag #BaiYeAndYangMiEatingBarbecueAndBeer# trended on social media.
It was already a hot topic, and with the recent fan war, naturally a lot of people are paying attention to this matter.

Wow! I knew Baiye and Mimi would be having barbecue and beer together!

[Haha, they're just jumping on the bandwagon!]

[The comment above is really funny, haha. So, is this Bai Ye and Yang Mi riding on the coattails of Professor Bai and Yang Songyi's popularity, or are they the ones being piggybacked on?!]

[They've broken down the barriers between reality and TV dramas! Seriously, am I the only one who thinks these two are a good match?!]

[That's not certain! Who dares to say Professor Bai and Song Yi aren't a good match?! Could it be that Liu Yifei?] [Haha, don't let anyone see this, or they'll be so jealous!]

Here at the bee forum, I saw the photos posted by Yang Mi.

There was already a feeling that I had the upper hand here.

After this incident, they became even more arrogant.

In their view, everyone else was just there to freeload, but Bai Ye and Yang Mi were the only ones who were genuinely okay with it.

After all, this drama was filmed by the two of them.

He Jiong: [Wow, count me in!]

Yang Mi: [Welcome, Teacher He! But we're currently abroad. We'll definitely invite you to join us when we get back!]

Comment area.

Many celebrities also jumped on the bandwagon.

However, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and even Tang Yan did not come.

Although they had previously marketed themselves as the "Poet Immortal of the Tang Dynasty," the backlash was far too intense.

Besides, Tang Yan didn't want to get involved in this mess in the first place, so naturally she wouldn't come out.

Regardless of which side's popularity it is, Tang Yan will not participate.

Where's my Baiye?! Why isn't she showing up for any promotions?!

[So Zen!! Seriously, so Zen! Only Bai Ye could remain so composed amidst such immense popularity!]

[Honey, call Bai Ye and see if he's forgotten his Weibo account password~]

In the comments section.

In addition to the interaction between fans and celebrities.

Many of Baiye's fans are extremely anxious.

With such a huge amount of buzz, I originally thought my idol's brother would come out and make some public appearances.

At least the barbecue and beer meme has become popular all over the country.

As a result, the person in question simply disappeared without even trying to capitalize on the hype.

How could Bai Ye's fans possibly stand this?

So, after Yang Mi posted photos of herself having a late-night snack with Bai Ye, many people flocked to leave comments in Yang Mi's comment section.

I hope Yang Mi will get Bai Ye to come out and do some work soon.

Yang Mi: [Um, I wonder what the big star is doing right now. Should I sneak into his room and check on him?]

Yang Mi replied to one person's comment.

This reply immediately sparked a lot of speculation.

Going to Bai Ye's room so late at night?!
This ambiguous reply, carrying a hint of ambiguity, is actually Yang Mi's little scheme.

On one hand, it's saying that she and Bai Ye don't live together.

Then it leaves room for imagination, as the scene of him going to see Bai Ye at night gives CP fans an opportunity to indulge in endless fantasies.

And at this time, you can also see the fans' reactions.

Also, she really wanted to go find Bai Ye.

Believe it or not, if her fans really asked her to go at that time, she actually did.

She had wanted Bai Ye to come to her, but after waiting for a long time, Bai Ye never came.

But she couldn't bring herself to go to Bai Ye.

But things are different now. Now Yang Mi can say that it was her fans who asked her to find it.

If Bai Ye really loses control and something happens...

Then she'll take the opportunity to get Bai Ye back together, and then she won't bring that thing with her anymore.

If you are rejected, just say that you were asked by a fan to come and see what you're doing.

Either way, Yang Mi won't lose out.

And most importantly, even if I didn't go to Bai Ye's side, or if I went and was rejected, or if I went and got what I wanted.

For Yang Mi, there is still one thing she can do.

That means he simply disappeared that very night and stopped appearing on Weibo.

Then leave the matter to others to speculate about.

Whatever happens then is their business, it has nothing to do with me.

Yang Mi knew perfectly well what she was thinking.

So, looking at it this way, she suddenly felt that what she said was really insightful!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her attention to the comments section.

[What the heck?! Don't go ask me something late at night and then never come back.]

[Are you going to disappear for several hours and then reappear?!]

[Holy crap!!! Is this something I can listen to without spending money or subscribing to VIP?!]

【No, Mimi, don't go so late at night. Don't disturb Baiye's rest!】

[Yeah, I think Bai Ye is probably asleep already, let's not disturb him!]

Yang Mi's statement startled her fans.

no? !
You went to see Bai Ye so late at night, and you even said it out loud like that!?

What will other people think?

If you go quietly and nobody knows, then forget it.

After all, no one knows. If you were in the past, it would be understandable. Although it's a little heartbreaking, I'll just pretend I don't know.

But you've already said it, so how can you pretend you didn't know?

Wow!!! Hurry up, Mimi, I'm waiting for your good news, preferably tonight!!

Haha, is my favorite couple finally going to get married?!

Wow, Mimi is really brave! She has the same personality as Yang Songyi. I believe Bai Ye will definitely like her too!
Mimi, your top priority now is to break through this barrier. Once you do, I feel you two will definitely be together!

[I can't wait for Yang Mi to disappear tonight, then all the solo fans of both sides will go crazy, and the two of them will announce good news tomorrow!!]

Compared to the obstruction of bees.

At this moment, the CP fans are hoping that Yang Mi will go find Bai Ye as soon as possible!
I was just shipping the two of them as a couple, so if they actually get together in the future, wouldn't that be perfect?!

[No way!! Our Brother Bai needs to focus on his career, not date!!]

[Holy crap!! Is Yang Mi crazy? She got her on board, and now she's plotting something?!]

[I don't think Yang Mi and Bai Ye should be together. Why?! Does she even deserve Bai Ye?!]

【No way?! How come Yang Mi isn't good enough for him?! Maybe your Bai Ge is already dating someone?!】

[Yeah, I think Yang Mi is more than a perfect match for Bai Ye, okay?! They're both actors, so no one should look down on anyone else!!]

[I hereby announce that, starting today, Bai Ye and Yang Mi are completely severing ties!!]

I agree with the comment above!!!

"Holy crap! What's wrong with this?! How come I feel like things are getting a bit off?!"

Yang Mi was numb at this point.

The comments section seemed to be quite peaceful at first.

It seems like this level of popularity will be enough to make me live a life of plenty.

However, to Yang Mi's surprise, this actually provoked dissatisfaction from Bai Ye's fans.

no? !
Your brother has been with you countless times already.

They're actually opposing it?!
And it's not just Baiye's fans who are starting to oppose this.

On the contrary, some arguments seemed to have arisen in the comments section because of this matter.

"Wait a minute! These aren't your fans, are they?! These might be fans of your rivals! This is bad!!"

Zeng Jia saw through it immediately!
This doesn't seem like someone who's a fan of Yang Mi at all.

It's more like they're from the opposing side!

Upon closer inspection, she immediately recognized it as a skewer!

Knowing that they might not be able to win, they then caused Bai Ye's fans and Yang Mi's fans to turn against each other completely.

Then, they'll use Bai Ye's fans to attack Yang Mi's fans.

this.
It seems like there really isn't a problem!
If you were to name someone on the entire internet who could completely outshine Yang Mi and leave her speechless, it would be Bai Ye.

If you really start arguing, firstly, you can't compare to her in terms of status; she's the boss, while Yang Mi is just an actress.

Then this time, the script was invited by Bai Ye. If it weren't for Bai Ye, Yang Mi wouldn't have had a chance at all.

Then, in terms of popularity, Bai Ye definitely surpasses Yang Mi.

If we were to start arguing at this point, I'd probably be labeled as ungrateful.

If these things were to actually happen, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Yang Mi.

"A clever trick backfired!!"

Yang Mi had just interacted with someone, and now she says this, giving the opposing team a handle to use against her.

All right
I delivered it myself.

"No, I need to find Bai Ye!"

A hint of panic flashed across Yang Mi's face.

She was indeed thinking that she had done something very impressive and that she would definitely reap great benefits.

But after seeing the comments section, Yang Mi realized what a stupid thing she had just done.

How can you send this out!
Why didn't I think of this consequence?!

He forgot how many female fans Bai Ye actually has, and for female fans, the last thing they want to see is their idol officially announcing a relationship.

What I made really does threaten the other person's fantasy.

I can't even accept being paired up as a couple sometimes, let alone being in a relationship!
She was a little annoyed.

"Don't rush, it seems he posted on Weibo."

"Huh!? Posting on Weibo?"

Yang Mi was stunned. Why would Bai Ye post on Weibo at this time?!
Is he trying to clear his name?
Or is she officially announcing that she and Bai Ye were together before?

Then she decided to fiercely protect her wife, and now she's choosing to reconcile with him?!

Yang Mi suddenly remembered all the domineering CEO novels she had read, but she also found them quite absurd.

How could that be?
"An album?! His album is coming out?!"

Zeng Jia exclaimed in surprise, then realized that it was true; Bai Ye had mentioned something before.

An album will be released in December.

Then, she turned the screen towards Yang Mi, showing Yang Mi Bai Ye's Weibo post.

My new album is about to be released~ I'm announcing this while everyone is having fun eating barbecue and drinking beer today.

The album I promised everyone is finally here! I hope you all like it~
The music video will be released first, and it will be posted on my Weibo account. If you want to see it later, please follow my Weibo account. The album will also be released simultaneously tomorrow.

It's available online on Taobao; the link is [link missing].
Offline, it's available in major music and audio stores; you can choose whichever method you prefer to purchase it.
I'm a new singer, and I hope you'll all give me a little support!

The album will be released tomorrow, but I'm only posting about it on Weibo today.

Many people were speechless when they saw the Weibo post, but after thinking about Bai Ye, they suddenly felt it was perfectly normal.

This actually seems like something that Bai Ye would do.

[Is the album finally coming out?! No matter how good the songs are, I'll definitely support this new singer, haha~]

I'll definitely support Professor Bai's album! By the way, how much does it cost? I'm a student, so I might not have enough money to save up.

[Is an album around 50?]

[I'm not sure, it depends on the pricing of White Night!]

The pricing of a song is up to the individual.

There is no standard.

Bai Ye: [I've decided on a price of 18 yuan per piece!]

How much?! How much did you say?! Only 18 yuan apiece?!

【No way!!! You're so kind, only 18 yuan a piece? I'll support you no matter what!!!】

[By the way, how do you make money, Bai Ge? How about a signed copy for a rich guy or a rich girl for 599 yuan?!]

[Support!! They could release a more expensive autographed item; after all, they need to make some money!!]

Many people were surprised by Baiye's pricing.

Even casual observers felt that the price was incredibly reasonable.

You should know that nowadays, an album usually starts at around 26.8 yuan.

Even so, they're basically selling at a loss.

Nowadays, singers no longer make money from albums, but from copyrights and the fame brought by these songs, and then they make money by participating in events.

But Bai Ye didn't even reach level 20?!
How can you make money like this?!
Bai Ye: [It's not really about making money. After all, I'm a new singer, and if the price is too high, it might not be good. I don't know how the album will be either.]

I'm also worried about getting criticized for poor quality, haha. If you guys think it's good, please support it!

New singer.

Um.
Strictly speaking, Bai Ye is indeed a new singer.

It's just that Bai Ye's fame in the film and television industry is so great that everyone has forgotten that Bai Ye is a new singer.

Priced at 18 yuan, coupled with the sluggish record market.

If the price is too high, it will probably be difficult to sell when pirated versions come out.

Fans will definitely support the official version, but as for casual viewers, well, that's another story.

Whether I buy it or not is the same thing; if I do buy it, I'll probably buy a pirated copy.

Therefore, keeping albums cheap can effectively attract some casual buyers who want to purchase the original.

Liu Shishi: [Huh?! There are new singers too?! I love supporting newcomers, I'll buy a copy tomorrow!! By the way, can the new singer give me an autographed copy?!]

Yang Ying: [I'll go check out the music stores around here right now and buy Professor Bai's album as quickly as possible!!]

He Jiong: [Both arts and sports are flourishing~ Haha, just kidding, but I definitely have to support it!]

Liu Yifei: [Ahem~ As a senior, I'm always happy to support my juniors!]

Zhao Liying: [A new singer? Let me check out the quality of this new singer's songs tomorrow!!]

Jing Tian: [Support! Newbies shouldn't be afraid, I've been there too, haha!]

The top comments section was completely dominated by celebrities.

They weren't surprised by the new singer Bai Ye's title, and they didn't have any high expectations for the album's quality.

Judging from Baiye's pricing and statements, maybe they genuinely lack confidence?
But they weren't there to listen to the music; they were there to flatter him!

Good songs are already scarce these days!
The reason why White Night is priced so low at this time is probably to avoid being criticized.

This is what new singers are like!
