Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 273 - Yang Mi's shock: Is his status in the Hong Kong entertainment circle so high?
"Really?! A rich woman actually spent millions just to get Bai Ye to attend a dinner party?!"

Before Bai Ye could speak, Yang Mi, who was standing next to him, immediately got excited.

She's heard those questions so many times she's sick of them; you could say she's been answering them all along, and they're still asking them now.

But this wealthy woman was the only one willing to spend tens of millions just to have a meal with Bai Ye.

"Do you know what?" Yang Mi said, turning to look at Bai Ye, who shook his head. "I don't know, but spending so much money just to treat me to a meal, I feel like this is a trap!"

"Hmm, is it Xiang Yu's intuition?!"

Yang Mi made a joke.

The surrounding reporters burst into laughter upon hearing what Yang Mi and Bai Ye said.

The two of them chatted back and forth, and just like that, the topic was moved on.

The key question is that it's actually quite difficult to answer.

If Bai Ye gives a bad answer, she will be caught in a media storm.

Whether or not money was received.

The reporter who asked the question earlier had something else to say.

But they didn't give us a chance at all.

Lin Wan coughed lightly to indicate that it was about time, and then signaled to Bai Ye and the others to prepare to leave.

In the car.

Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I almost thought you were going to have trouble explaining yourself. If you had answered this question directly, you would probably be in big trouble!"

Being invited to dinner by a rich woman is hardly a glorious thing.

Especially handsome male celebrities, they often arouse fantasies.

In other words, the resources that Bai Ye created himself through his own studio.

Otherwise, Bai Ye would probably have countless scandalous stories to tell right now.

"Bai Ye isn't stupid, how could he not see it?! Besides, I'm here too, right?"

Yang Mi nudged Bai Ye closer and then pulled his arm into her embrace.

She doesn't care what Bai Ye thinks right now.

Just take the initiative.

She pretended not to see Bai Ye's look. Did this guy not want her to get closer?!

She insisted on getting close!

Seeing Yang Mi's expression, Bai Ye tried to pull his hand away, but after noticing Yang Mi's increasingly flushed face and her slightly ambiguous gaze as she rolled her eyes at him, he hesitated.

Bai Ye had no choice but to give up and said, "Sister Mi, it's not good to be photographed even though we're in the car!"

"What are you afraid of? We were squeezed in like this, and we didn't want to be!"

"."

Listen!!
Is that even human language you're speaking?!
Even Lin Wan, who was in front, felt a sense of helplessness upon hearing these words.

Isn't Yang Mi being a little too forward?!
No wonder he took the initiative to say he wanted to ride in the same car with Bai Ye; he said there were some things he wanted to say to Bai Ye.

So, instead of having something to say to Bai Ye, he actually wants to devour him?!
"By the way, did you receive an invitation from Hong Kong Island?!"

As Yang Mi spoke, she tightened her grip, clearly unaffected by anything else.

The people from Hong Kong Island are here for promotional purposes; ultimately, they're going to appear on some television programs.

However, considering the situation in Baiye and Hong Kong Island...

Although Bai Ye kept saying that he had no prejudice against Hong Kong actors, Yang Mi knew very well that Bai Ye definitely did!

You can tell from how I used to advise myself against going to the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Besides, after spending some time there, she discovered that the Hong Kong entertainment circle was not as good as she had imagined, which also affected Yang Mi's impression of it.

But this place was once a thriving film industry, and now that directors have moved north and the cast is strong, it has a rich history.

Even Yang Mi's mystique has been dispelled from their minds by now.

But we had no choice but to get involved.

Right now, he and Bai Ye have come together as a team.

She's quite popular abroad, but she's still a notch below Bai Ye.

This is not just because I couldn't compare to Bai Ye in "My Love from the Star".

More importantly, Bai Ye had accumulated a lot of experience beforehand. Starting with "Someday or One Day," Bai Ye had a group of fans in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas, which was exactly what she lacked.

So even he himself benefited from Yang Songyi's fame.

But compared to Bai Ye, this is still inferior, hence the comparison.

This not only intensified Yang Mi's desire to hold onto Bai Ye, but also subtly revealed her intention to prioritize Bai Ye in public.

She did everything based on Bai Ye's example.

If Bai Ye doesn't want to get involved, then I definitely won't go either.

“Go ahead, I just said it and then I don’t go, wouldn’t that be a slap in my own face?! Besides, I promised Andy Lau and Uncle Jackie Chan that I would attend a party, so let’s just go for this one.”

After his trip to Hong Kong Island was revealed, Andy Lau contacted Bai Ye immediately.

They also expressed that if they came this time, they definitely wanted to get together.

Uncle Long also sent a message later, presumably it was a gathering with many people from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Although, given Uncle Long's stature, there was really no need for him to actively invite Bai Ye, he was probably just playing the role of peacemaker.

Because of the Chen Kaige incident, not only the Beijing entertainment circle, but also the Hong Kong entertainment circle had a very unpleasant falling out with Bai Ye.

So if things continue like this, unless Bai Ye fades into obscurity, but Bai Ye is clearly becoming more and more popular, the people on Hong Kong Island can't just sit idly by.

Everyone wants to get a piece of the action.

But he doesn't get along with Bai Ye!
How could I possibly go up there and freeload?!
If I go up there like that, one word from them and I'll be incredibly embarrassed.

"reunion?!"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Bai Ye's arm, saying in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I'll go with you! I'll stick with you the whole time!"

Her thinking was simple: those who invited Bai Ye this time were probably all influential figures.

If I go with Bai Ye, I can act close to him in front of those people. Then I won't have to pay anything, and I can get some resources by relying on Bai Ye's power and influence.

"Sure, it's just a private gathering. There should be people from Emperor Entertainment and Media Asia there."

Andy Lau is with Media Asia, and Emperor Entertainment is currently one of the top entertainment companies in Hong Kong, so naturally they came as well.

He guessed there were people from other companies involved, but he wasn't too sure about the specific arrangements.

"Then it's settled!"

Yang Mi nodded in agreement.

Something more private, huh?

Just follow Bai Ye.

"Should we go directly to the banquet hotel or to our accommodation?"

"Let's go straight there!"

"it is good!"

Lin Wan nodded, and the car headed towards the banquet hotel.

Ballroom.

After Lin Wan learned that they were almost there, Liu Tianwang and Uncle Long waited for Bai Ye outside the door, which left Yang Mi dumbfounded.

Damn it! ?
Andy Lau and Jackie Chan are waiting for you at the door!
"Bai Ye, this is our first meeting, but we've long admired each other from afar!"

"You're here! Is this your first time in Hong Kong Island? Let's drink until we drop tonight! This must be Yang Mi, hello, hello!"

Andy Lau and Jackie Chan greeted Bai Ye from the left and right respectively.

The two glanced at Yang Mi, who was tugging at Bai Ye's sleeve, and were also unsure about the relationship between Bai Ye and Yang Mi.

This gathering was relatively private.

Basically, once you get to this floor, no reporters will come up.

Given their situation, the two of them naturally had some wild thoughts.

"Hello Andy Lau, I've admired you for a long time. I was so happy when you agreed to star in my movie!"

And Uncle Long, long time no see! We didn't get a proper chat last time, so we'll definitely have a couple more drinks tonight.

Bai Ye doesn't drink much, but he can still hold his liquor.

His main idea is to invite Jackie Chan to star in his movie, although there are no suitable scripts available at the moment.

But who knows, maybe there will be another opportunity in the future!
"Alright, let's go in, everyone's already here!"

Following behind the two, in front of the banquet hall, Yang Mi whispered, "Boss, you have to protect me later. Female celebrities like me are the most vulnerable at these kinds of banquets!"

If I get drunk, you absolutely have to take me back, okay? Take me to your room. I don't trust anyone else, only you!

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she observed Bai Ye's expression.

I saw his mocking face and his seemingly unfocused gaze, which was fixed on Zeng Jia behind him.

no? !
Even if my agent is here, can't you just take me back?!
Besides, he hadn't said anything wrong! He was definitely among this group of people, and even if Zeng Jia was there, he trusted Bai Ye more.

Why? !
It's entirely possible that Zeng Jia managed to get herself into a room.

But Bai Ye is different. If Bai Ye is going to deliver something, he will definitely deliver it to his own room.

Yang Mi originally intended for Bai Ye to take her away, and she would be happy if something happened that night.

Naturally, Bai Ye would also be asked to escort him.

However, before Bai Ye could answer, the door to the banquet hall opened, and Yang Mi saw the person sitting inside, which immediately shocked her.

Emperor Group boss Yang Shoucheng, Golden Harvest boss, Media Asia executives, TVB, and Mei Ah Entertainment personnel.

After everyone introduced themselves, Yang Mi realized that she had underestimated the complexity of this private gathering.

Especially the senior management of Meiya.

When I signed the contract, they weren't particularly enthusiastic about me.

But this time when they met, they were so warm and welcoming, they treated her like their own mother!
The difference before and after was so stark that even Yang Mi found it somewhat absurd.

Is this still the same Hong Kong entertainment circle that I used to desperately want to get into?

It seems like it's not all that great.
"Bai Ye, I'd like to toast you. I hope we can cooperate more in the future. It's true that some unpleasant things happened in the Hong Kong entertainment circle back then, but those were all personal actions."

If you feel uncomfortable, we can get those people to apologize to you. Moreover, with the film resources in Hong Kong, you can get the male lead role anytime you want, or even play the male and female leads with Yang Mi or other people.

"As for the artists we have, as long as they're available, whatever you want, we can find them for you!"

Yang Shoucheng spoke directly.

The feud between Hong Kong entertainment circles and the White Night Inn is neither a major nor a minor one.

Given Emperor Entertainment's current status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he is indeed suitable to be the one to take the lead.

He's made his point clear today: if Bai Ye is still angry, he can send someone to teach those who spoke up a lesson.

Moreover, he felt that he had truly given all he could in terms of film resources.

Not only can Bai Ye be cast as the male lead, but he can also bring people to act in the show, and even find anyone to play a supporting role.

Of course, Bai Ye probably knows that he can't interfere with things involving the Four Heavenly Kings or Jackie Chan, but he can handle other people.

This can be said to be a privilege that mainland artists have never had before.

no way!
Hong Kong entertainment has truly declined, while the mainland's entertainment industry is not only becoming more and more developed, but it has even produced an Asian superstar.

His ability to create stars is so exaggerated that it's a point that can't be ignored.

He naturally wanted to resolve the issues between the two sides; otherwise, would he really just abandon cooperation with Bai Ye in the future?!
After saying this, Yang Mi was speechless for a moment, only staring at Bai Ye with burning eyes.

It was obvious that she wanted Bai Ye to agree immediately.

I doubt anyone could refuse such a offer, right?!
"Actually, I've always felt that there isn't much conflict between us. Maybe there's a lot of misunderstanding about me outside. I don't actually have any aversion to this place."

"Then I'll toast you, Bai Ye. I knew it! Those reporters love to make things up. We need to communicate more from now on, and we absolutely mustn't have any misunderstandings!"

After Yang Shoucheng finished speaking, the people at the table began to drink.

After the two men said those words, the atmosphere at the table improved considerably.

They had all thought that if Bai Ye really disliked their side of the group, then they wouldn't be able to finish the drinks.

Fortunately, Bai Ye doesn't seem to have any issues, at least not on the surface.

All of this made Lin Wan feel somewhat emotional; Bai Ye had truly matured.

At least in her view, there are indeed many people on Hong Kong Island who are not worth getting close to, but there are at least some who are not bad, and they cannot be condemned all of them.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and on the surface, the matter seemed to be resolved.

Yang Mi, as she wished, got drunk and collapsed onto Bai Ye. Under the ambiguous gazes of the others, Bai Ye helped Yang Mi to the elevator and said helplessly, "Sister Mi, that's enough. Stop pretending!"

"Huh?! I...I'm...Ouch!!! Are you trying to die?!"

After feeling a gentle force around her waist, Yang Mi, who had initially wanted to pretend, couldn't keep up the act any longer and glared fiercely at Bai Ye.

no? !
They've practically delivered themselves to our doorstep?!

You actually managed to hold back?!
"Are you seriously out of your mind? I've practically brought this to your door, and you're still not eating?!"

Yang Mi really couldn't take it anymore!
He's practically delivered himself right to Bai Ye's doorstep, how could he possibly resist?!

Did something happen after we broke up?!

"I have a boyfriend!"

"."

Yang Mi opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

He has a girlfriend!

"Fine!! I knew you weren't pretending to be a saint with me, so you actually have a girlfriend, oh fine, fine, fine!!!"

Yang Mi gave Bai Ye a deep look, then asked casually, "Who is it?!"

"Don't tell you."

"."

You're not going to tell me, are you?!
Yang Mi took a deep breath, "I'll make you suffer!"

Wait!

She's determined to ruin this relationship!

Yang Mi had actually guessed before that Bai Ye was probably in a relationship, otherwise she would have offered herself up to him.

Surprisingly, Bai Ye was able to refuse.

This is clearly not right.

Now everything has been answered, but she refuses to believe that she couldn't ruin it herself!

But at this moment, Yang Mi was also thinking about a question: who is the object of her affections?!

Bai Ye didn't tell him!?

Could it be Liu Shishi?!
Facing Yang Mi's scrutinizing gaze, Bai Ye didn't shy away; this person certainly wouldn't say it herself.

If Yang Mi were told it was Tang Yan, she would probably break off all ties with Tang Yan tonight.

Yang Mi's personality is like this. If she were the one who did it, she would think it's normal. But if someone else did it and it happened to her, she can't stand it.

Given that Tang Yan was probably worried about this beforehand, that's why she told me not to say anything.

Since that's the case, Bai Ye naturally didn't say anything more.

For the next two days, Bai Ye and Yang Mi were running around doing events on Hong Kong Island.

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, thanks to the efforts of Yang Shoucheng and others, public opinion regarding Bai Ye has improved considerably.

When the news broke that "Day and Night" discriminated against people from this region, many Hong Kong residents directly stated that they would never watch "Day and Night" TV series, movies, or songs again.

In the latest interview, public opinion completely reversed.

Yang Shoucheng: [This is absolutely the most disgusting thing we Hong Kong paparazzi have ever done. We met with Bai Ye, and there was absolutely no such situation. It's all slander!!]

Andy Lau: [I can guarantee that Bai Ye absolutely has no such intention. Not only am I planning to make a cameo appearance in one of Bai Ye's films, but isn't Bai Ye's go-to director, Lin Yufen, from Hong Kong?! I hope this slander against Bai Ye will stop!]

Uncle Lung: [He's my friend, and I don't believe my friend would do this. I've always said that. I hope people in Hong Kong can calm down and not be misled by unscrupulous media!]

Princess: [I haven't had much contact with him, but according to some rumors from insiders, why would someone with such a good personality slander him like this?!]

A series of Hong Kong celebrities came out to support Bai Ye.

Overnight, the reputation of White Nights was completely reversed.

I knew it! My idol would never have such thoughts!

[That's right! Bai Ye didn't show any of those things at all; it's just those unscrupulous media outlets spreading rumors about him!]

[Wasn't it normal to be resistant before?! Our director on this side just started criticizing us; if I were in that situation, I'd be angry too!]

【That's right! Even a clay figure has some temper. Bai Ye did the right thing. Now the media is acting like this, and even our own people are being provoked. If I were him, I would be heartbroken too!!】

【I was really wrong! I will never do Black and White Night again!!】

[Me too!! From now on, I'm a die-hard fan of Bai Ye. I'm a little ashamed, because I said I wouldn't watch Bai Ye's movies or TV shows and wouldn't buy his albums anymore. But today I'm going to buy an album, and isn't his movie coming out?! I'm going to support him too!!]

Hey everyone, if you like Bai Ye (White Night), you can join the Bai Ye Hong Kong Island fan club!

Seeing this reversal of public opinion, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh. These opinions, once manipulated, can indeed be reversed. It's true that capital can make you see whatever it wants you to see.

However, this is also what Bai Ye wants to see; Bai Ye doesn't want to be labeled with this accusation.

The higher-ups probably don't want to see this either.

Fans, especially those on Hong Kong Island, seem to be even more enthusiastic than before.

On the day he left Hong Kong Island, Bai Ye was seen off by tens of thousands of people, a scene that was captured by reporters.

Such scenes are rare!

Bai Ye is now an example. He was already popular when he was Professor Bai, but the exposure of that incident has also had a significant impact on him.

Now that many people have come forward to clarify, it seems like this is a form of retaliatory guilt.

After leaving Hong Kong Island, they continued promoting the film in Southeast Asia for a while. On the plane back to China, Yang Mi looked at Bai Ye with some excitement and asked, "Are you planning to film a movie in Siam?!"
Could you ask me to be the female lead in your movie?!
