Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 279 - On the eve of the release of "Brotherhood of Blades", the hype has already been built!
The night before the autograph session, fans had already set up tents and lined up outside the venue, and even a proxy queuing service emerged.

Such a grand occasion meant that news about the autograph session was already trending on social media in the early hours of the morning.

In the Chinese entertainment industry in 2011, no star could rival the popularity of Bai Ye.

Its influence is so great that it's almost embarrassing, whether it's music, film and television, variety shows, or even the operation model of the fan economy.

They are all leading in every aspect.

Now there's even a trend of wearing pink and white, and people are saying that wearing pink is a fashion statement, regardless of anything else.

At 3 a.m., a long queue had already formed outside the Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

In the crowd, a boy wearing glasses was nervously checking the albums and handwritten letters in his backpack.

"Dude, you're here to stay up all night too?!"

A girl next to him looked at the boy curiously and asked.

The boy nodded: "Yeah, my girlfriend is a huge fan of Bai Ye, but she has an exam today and can't come. I wanted to get her an autograph."

The girl's eyes lit up: "Wow, how romantic! Your girlfriend is so lucky. Bai Ye's autograph is so hard to get these days."

I couldn't help but feel a little envious; I wished I had a boyfriend to queue with.

Fortunately, I had some girlfriends who came to queue up with me; the whole dorm came.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to endure being here all by myself.

But the thought of getting an autograph soon made the ordeal less agonizing.

Not far away, a flock of white doves were distributing support items.

"Please don't push! Line up according to your numbers. The fan club has already coordinated security!"

"Who needs hand warmers? I brought fifty!"

"Attention all those using proxy booking services! The studio has stated that anyone found using scalpers will be immediately disqualified!"

Some members of the team even set up tents and stayed up all night wrapped in blankets.

An auntie was queuing with her daughter and said with a smile, "My daughter insisted on coming. She said that Baiye represents her youth, so I, as her mother, had no choice but to accompany her."

Even though the fans in the queue were all strangers, they all had endless topics to discuss when they talked about Bai Ye.

At 10 a.m., Bai Ye appeared in a simple white shirt, and the scene instantly erupted in excitement.

"Don't be nervous. Just sit there and sign your name. If you have any special requests, such as adding more words, you can consider them at your discretion."

Lin Wan was still explaining some things to Bai Ye.

Since this was the first time organizing a book signing event, Bai Ye only needed to sign autographs, and everything else had been reported and approved.

There are dedicated people in charge.

"So many people, will we be able to sign them all?!"

The assistant glanced at Bai Ye with some concern.

It's a huge crowd; I reckon they won't be able to finish signing by tonight.

However, seeing that Bai Ye didn't seem to care much, she didn't say anything more.

They've already made preparations.

Those maintaining order created two passageways: one for leaving and one for queuing to enter.

The fans at the front of the line excitedly took their albums and asked Bai Ye to sign them in an orderly fashion.

Some of the bolder ones will take the opportunity to chat for a few minutes.

A fan handed over an album, and Bai Ye looked up and smiled: "What do you want to write? Do you have any special requirements for the title?"

The girl looked at Bai Ye excitedly and said, "Can you write 'Good luck on the college entrance exam, Xiaoya'?! Not for me, but for my sister!!"
We both really like you, but my sister has to take the college entrance exam, so I came to sign the papers together!

Seeing Bai Ye's look, the girl quickly began to explain.

Bai Ye previously said not to let chasing celebrities interfere with your studies.

It wouldn't be good if he misunderstood.

Bai Ye nodded and immediately wrote down her blessings carefully.

After signing his name, the girl excitedly hugged the signed CD from Bai Ye, said thank you, and immediately stepped aside.

There are still many fans waiting behind, even if they just want to say a few more words to Bai Ye.

But we can't waste the time of the fans who follow.

Each person would chat with Bai Ye for a few words during the intervals between signing autographs.

I signed autographs until late at night.

Looking at the still dense crowd, Bai Ye rubbed his temples, feeling the slight soreness in his wrist, and said helplessly, "This can't be signed, right?!"

From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Bai Ye only ate a little something and then spent all his time signing autographs.

Even so, they still couldn't finish signing.

"Go and tell the fans. As for the fans who are still here, go and send out the McDonald's meals that you just prepared."

"it is good!"

Lin Wan nodded, then got up and went to do it.

This package alone cost hundreds of thousands.

Several McDonald's employees in Shanghai are getting tired of working.

Nearly 10,000 copies were prepared.

Lin Wan, holding a megaphone, addressed the fans who were still waiting in the square: "I'm so sorry, everyone, today's autograph session is over. We've been signing autographs for twelve hours."

To express our apologies, we have prepared a McDonald's meal for the fans who are still waiting here. We have already arranged for staff to prepare it. We are truly sorry!
Thank you for your support, fans! We'll definitely organize more events like this in the future!

no solution anymore.

During those twelve hours, she felt that Bai Ye had only spoken up because he estimated that he couldn't hold on any longer; otherwise, he probably would have stayed up until late at night.

"Huh?! Really?! I was so close to my turn!"

"Me too! I've been waiting in line for ages, is it really over already?!"

"It's a pity, but we should also thank Bai Ye. After all, no other celebrity works like Bai Ye, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.!"

"Yeah! Everyone has their limits. It's been twelve hours straight. I just arrived too late. But having McDonald's is really nice!"

"Wow! They're preparing so many McDonald's meals?! That must have cost a fortune!"

"It's a bit of a shame, but being able to have a late-night snack doesn't seem so bad, does it?"

Although many people were complaining that they had waited a long time, Bai Ye was about to leave.

But they can understand it.

Many fans know that he sat here for twelve hours and signed countless autographs.

Normally, book signing events only last for an hour or two, and afterwards everyone goes home.

But Bai Ye is not.

Not only did Bai Ye sign autographs for twelve hours, but he also treated his fans to McDonald's. He received a McDonald's meal from the staff, and later, there wasn't even enough left.

Lin Wan immediately arranged for someone to continue buying.

They continued distributing the items until 11 o'clock, and then everyone left with their things.

As a result of this move, "White Night" once again became a trending topic that night.

#WhiteNightBookSigningEventDrawsTensOfThousands#
#After twelve hours of continuous battle, Bai Ye is a human autograph machine#
#Baiye treats fans to McDonald's#
[Haha, I went to Baiye's book signing event! There were so many people, and so many people maintaining order!]

I got a signed CD today, and they even wrote a message for me. I have to say, Bai Ye writes really fast! I guess he's so he can sign more copies for fans later?

[As expected of my idol, look! He signed autographs for twelve hours straight, and even those who didn't get autographs received a McDonald's meal!]

[Haha, yes, yes! Those with autographed albums didn't get McDonald's, while those without autographed albums did. Either way, it's a win-win situation!!]

Oh my god, I just walked that way home from get off work. I should have picked one up on my way!

[Haha, me too! I saw on the trending topics that someone said they ran out of coupons, so Bai Ye had someone else buy more. That's outrageous! Treating so many fans to McDonald's!]

There has been a lot of discussion about the autograph session on various social media platforms.

With so many people participating, those who attended the signing event and received autographed albums would naturally want to show off.

Those who got the midnight snack naturally wanted to show it off.

"Your move was really impressive! You spent hundreds of thousands to create such a huge marketing campaign. I guess I still need to learn from you!"

Lin Wan sighed. Looking at the trending topics online, she admitted that she did have some doubts about Bai Ye at first.

Although it's all small money, it's a lot of trouble.

The main problem is that the cola definitely doesn't taste good when McDonald's delivers it.

With so many servings, the cola would definitely be crossed out, and cold fries certainly aren't very tasty.

With so many portions to prepare, it all seems incredibly troublesome.

But after seeing these trending topics online, Lin Wan realized that spending hundreds of thousands of yuan was all it took to get on the trending list.

It's important to know that although there are no set prices for trending topics, Weibo can really get you onto the trending list if you're willing to spend money.

Even though the trending topic has only been around for a short time, some people have already discovered the benefits of trending.

"Yeah, boss, please teach me more in the future!"

The assistant nodded repeatedly. Even Lin Wan was learning from Bai Ye, so she was even more determined!
She was going to take over from Lin Wan and become Bai Ye's manager.

"What did I do?"

Bai Ye looked at his assistant with a puzzled expression. He didn't seem to have done anything, did he?
I just felt that since they had waited a long time, I knew I wouldn't be able to finish signing everything, so I wanted to give them some compensation later.

Otherwise, we won't gain anything at all. How can we face our fans?!

"Let's drive back quickly, I need to get some rest. We're starting to promote the Embroidered Spring Blade tomorrow!"

Bai Ye changed the subject.

He wasn't in the mood to talk about these things. Today's autograph session was even more tiring than filming night scenes and then shooting during the day.

These next few days I'll be going to do promotions with the Brotherhood of Blades crew.

Then I went back to filming Our Times. Because of the delays caused by My Love from the Star, the album, and Brotherhood of Blades, it's fair to say that this drama was seriously behind schedule.

Tang Yan's situation is going to be affected because of her procrastination.

After all, celebrities' work schedules are already set, unlike me, who can decide what to film and start filming whenever I feel like it. Others don't work that way.

The promotion of "Brotherhood of Blades" is quite important, as it relates to the final battle of the year. Even though many fans have said they will still watch it even if it's not good, it's still a must-see.

But that's not enough for him to completely ignore it. Unlike TV dramas, where any drama he stars in can easily attract viewers, movies are different.

Movies are something that actually costs money.

After returning to the hotel and washing up.

After chatting briefly with Tang Yan, Bai Ye seemed to be getting sleepy.

Tang Yan also brought up something she had been planning to say to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, can you spend New Year's Eve with me this year?!"

The New Year's Eve she was referring to wasn't just the period from 2011 to 2012, but also the Spring Festival of 2012.

It's estimated that Bai Ye will be participating in a TV station's gala during the Spring Festival. Although it's not clear yet whether it will be the Spring Festival Gala, he definitely won't be going back.

Tang Yan will not go back either.

January 23rd is the Spring Festival, and everyone should be on holiday for those few days. This is also the last time I will spend with Bai Ye.

Because of various events during this period, such as My Love from the Star, The Wind Rises, and Brotherhood of Blades.

This led to my original plan that I could stay with Bai Ye in the set of "Our Times" until the New Year, and then maybe we would break up.

In the end, it seems like it disappeared too.

Therefore, Tang Yan could only think that she wanted Bai Ye to accompany her for both New Year's Eves.

"Sure, if you have plans, I'll play with you then."

"Mmm, I want to ride the Ferris wheel, and then we'll set off fireworks together, and lots and lots of other things. I'll organize everything later. You won't stand me up, right?"

Tang Yan wasn't sure if, given Bai Ye's current popularity, some unforeseen event might cause him to cancel their appointment.

"Does Sister Tangtang really like fireworks?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay, I won't break my promise."

Fireworks?
After hanging up the phone, Bai Ye silently made a note of the matter.

Although they broke up three months later, he felt that they would most likely break up again.

However, during a relationship, it seems a bit unreasonable to let the other person have absolutely no memory of you.

Although such a large-scale event could lead to a scandal if paparazzi captured it, even though the two are currently filming, he doesn't care.

Since her debut, Bai Ye has never worried about this matter.

the next day.

Bai Ye rode in a van to the movie theater she had arranged with Tangren Media.

Bai Ye did not attend the premiere, but because it was a film directed by Bai Ye, and Tangren Media itself has a lot of influence, many celebrities attended the premiere of Brotherhood of Blades.

Many directors, after watching Brotherhood of Blades, gave their evaluations in interviews, feeling that it was better than those years.

Ultimately, "You Are the Apple of My Eye" is just a coming-of-age film, but "Brotherhood of Blades," with its cultural core and period drama elements, is indeed more appealing to directors.

Many directors have expressed that this might be a transformative work for "Day and Night," and it seems that the transformation has been very successful!

Inside the cinema.

Liu Shishi arrived quite early. She sat quietly in the reception room, seemingly calm, but her eyes kept glancing towards the door.

She came so early today, wasn't it just to wait for Bai Ye?!

She still had some questions for Bai Ye.
