Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 98 - The Impact of Our Best Self!
"The number of fans of the Geng Geng and Yu Huai CP has suddenly increased a lot."

Zhao Liying said with a hint of bitterness.

I initially read this review hoping to see praise for Bai Ye's acting and praise for the excellence of the drama.

As a result, Zhao Liying started to feel something was off.

There are so many fans who ship them as a couple.

She had considered that there might be some, but she hadn't expected there to be so many.

This is only the third episode.

The CP fans seem to have been resurrected. Before, the hype surrounding Bai Ye and Jing Tian was quite a stir online.

However, this is because the TV series has not yet been broadcast.

It's like fans were just enjoying their own little world, but after the broadcast of "With You" aired...

This situation is different.

"Why does it smell sour in the air?!"

"."

Zhao Liying listened to Bai Ye's teasing and didn't know what to say for a moment.

no! ?
Do I have to make fun of myself too?!
Zhao Liying also admitted that she was indeed a little jealous.

She was Bai Ye's official girlfriend, but she never expected that the girl being paired up with him would be someone else.

Moreover, online, everyone seems to think they're a perfect match.

"I'm jealous, what else can I do?!"

Xiao Zhao is just frank.

Anyway, if it's sour, it's sour.

She felt that since Bai Ye had already figured it out, there was no need for her to hide it from him.

Besides, when she's in a relationship, she actually prefers to vent her emotions.

At least it will make Bai Ye notice the change in his emotions.

It's not good to keep everything bottled up inside, because if something big happens later, it won't be good for either yourself or Bai Ye.

"Do you think there will be a couple like this when our drama airs?!"

Zhao Liying suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

I'm also filming with Bai Ye myself.

The script for "Want to See You" is just as good as "The Best of Us".

"I'm not worried."

Even if Bai Ye no longer wants to create scandals.

However, if this drama airs, Zhao Liying's side will most likely release a press release.

After all, she already has enough popularity compared to herself, and doesn't need to rely on scandals to boost her popularity.

Zhao Liying desperately needs to gain some fans through her own efforts; even if she doesn't do it, her agent will.

Besides, wouldn't Zhao Liying do that?!

Bai Ye felt that he would definitely do that!
Ultimately, Zhao Liying is ambitious.

"The ratings for the premiere of 'Sweet Sweetness' are out: 2.5%."

Lu Zheng almost cried before he made the call to Jing Tian.

I really didn't expect that this time it would actually be a success.

How many resources have been invested in Jing Tian?

But it didn't make a splash at all, even though he collaborated with Bai Ye on a TV series.

Surprisingly, they launched a hit TV series for Jing Tian.

In the past, the movies and TV series that Jing Tian starred in were basically a waste of time; it was no different from not acting at all after the performance.

There is still no record of this person in the entertainment industry.

But after the TV series "With You".

Jing Tian has gained fame, and her acting skills, which had been criticized before, have also improved.

This was completely redeemed in this film.

Nowadays, online reviews of Jing Tian are mostly positive.

"Uncle Lu, are the ratings really that high?! No wonder my Weibo followers are increasing so fast!"

Jing Tian's tone on the other end of the phone also carried a hint of surprise.

She had a feeling that the ratings for this premiere would be very high.

Because Weibo followers are growing very quickly, and many of the newly followed followers are actively leaving comments.

Jing Tian also felt it was a rare opportunity, and she enjoyed replying to comments here.

It wasn't until Lu Zheng called that Jing Tian realized just how amazing this drama really was.

"Sweetie, you made the right choice this time. It seems that our previous thinking was indeed a bit wrong. We don't necessarily have to work with big directors; we have to make big productions."

If the script is decent, the actors and director are reasonably good, and they have the ability to carry a show, then there is indeed a chance for them to succeed!

Lu Zheng was somewhat moved.

Previously, when Jing Tian selected the TV series "The Best of Us".

Anyway, Lu Zheng didn't think it was a good idea at all.

A youth campus drama, with a screenwriter who is not very famous as the male lead.

This looks like a sure flop.

At that time, Lu Zheng did not want to take it on, since he would have to invest in the other party, and once the investment was made, it would be like throwing money down the drain.

This was Lu Zheng's initial thought, but what happened next caught him completely off guard.

The best of us completely broke away from Lu Zheng's previous thinking.

Although during the filming and even after selling the film, Lu Zheng realized that he could definitely make a small profit.

But after its release, it made a fortune.

Not only did they recoup their investment, but they also made a lot of money afterward, plus they made Jing Tian famous.

For Lu Zheng, that was a truly satisfying feeling!
The investment in Baiye has yielded enormous returns for me.

"Uncle Lu, I think it might be because of Bai Ye. After my collaboration with Bai Ye ended this time, I felt that my acting skills seemed to have declined again."

"If the opportunity arises, I'd like to collaborate with Bai Ye again in the future."

Jing Tian felt a little pleased with herself.

After all, it was my own choice!
At the time, she simply liked the script and wanted to give it a try.

I never expected that this script would actually make me famous.

It felt like an unexpected stroke of luck.

Moreover, during the filming of "The Best of Us" with Baiye and later when filming "My Beautiful Boss".

Jing Tian felt that her acting skills had deteriorated again, and compared to others, she would rather work with Bai Ye.

After reaping the benefits of this opportunity.

Lu Zheng naturally wouldn't refuse. "Sweetie, I'll ask Bai Ye about his schedule later and see if I can coordinate something for you."

correct
Originally, I was going to downplay the pairing of you and Bai Ye, but now I want to continue to promote it.

Let's do some short-term bundled marketing; it would be a bit of a shame not to.

Lu Zheng wanted more than just another collaboration between Bai Ye and Jing Tian.

More importantly, I hope to be tied to Bai Ye for a short period of time in the future.
Although I had talked to Lin Wan before, and the two sides had basically severed ties, I rarely issue press releases anymore.

However, given the current situation, it would be somewhat unreasonable not to post it.

However, I can't make this decision on my own. Whether or not to do it depends on whether Bai Ye is willing to cooperate.

"Sure, but will Bai Ye agree?"

Jing Tian was somewhat tempted.

Although Bai Ye's attitude had hurt Jing Tian a little before.

But now, the thought of having sex with Bai Ye makes her a little tempted.

"Don't worry, it's just a publicity stunt for the role. This time, we won't be hyping up any rumors about the two of you. We'll release some behind-the-scenes footage later."

The main purpose is to promote your friendship. After all, Bai Ye is currently promoting himself with Liu Shishi, so he can't possibly promote himself with you.

Lu Zheng felt that the problem shouldn't be too serious.

Judging from the current situation, it's highly unlikely they'll cooperate with any off-screen rumors. No matter what, Bai Ye has already started promoting himself with Liu Shishi; how could he possibly promote himself with Jing Tian as well?!
Therefore, the next marketing focus will most likely be on the friendship between the two parties.

Another point is that once a TV series is released, the characters in the series will naturally be marketed first.

This will add another label to Jing Tian's image.

In the future, when people think of Geng Geng, the first person they will think of will be Jing Tian, ​​thus deepening the impression of this character in the minds of passersby.

This is much more memorable than ordinary fabricated scandals, and it doesn't make people feel disgusted.

I believe Bai Ye won't refuse.

"Ok."

Jing Tian was slightly disappointed.

She initially thought it was just a publicity stunt, but considering that Bai Ye and Liu Shishi were currently involved in a publicity stunt, she knew it was impossible.

Where would you find someone doing a publicity stunt with two people? That would probably ruin Bai Ye's reputation.

However, it's good to hype up a character.

After all, I quite like the character Geng Geng.

She will continue to watch this series every day.

hang up the phone.

Jing Tian picked up her phone, typed a text message, and sent it to Bai Ye.

They congratulated each other.

I believe Bai Ye is also watching this, after all, it's his first leading role in a drama.

After the show aired, both of them benefited greatly from it.

"The Best of Us" continues to air.

The show's ratings are steadily rising.

From the very first encounter, a bond formed by names and a classmate agreement.

The beginning of youth, the coincidence of names and the difference in grades create a contrast, and Yu Huai's initiative to get to know Geng Geng breaks down her inferiority complex and foreshadows the development of their relationship.

The misunderstanding during military training, including the incident of changing clothes in the toilet, led to a thaw in the relationship between the two sides.

It also showcases the awkwardness and clumsiness of teenagers, pushing the two from "desk mates" to "friends".

Then comes the midterm crisis, the support from top students and the comeback of struggling students.

Geng Geng was ridiculed by her classmates for her poor grades, and Yu Huai offered to tutor her.

The two secretly studied after evening self-study. Yu Huai used Sudoku games as a teaching method, and Geng Geng eventually made a comeback and entered the top 100 in the grade.

Emotions are developed progressively.

Viewers unconsciously immerse themselves in the story while watching.

Although there aren't that many Yu Huais in real life, there are many Geng Gengs.

Most of these people are viewers of TV dramas. Who wouldn't want to meet someone like Yu Huai when they were in school?!
The film recreates the high school life of those born in the 80s and 90s through details such as military training, monthly exams, and group singing.

Scenes such as Yu Huai waking up his dozing classmate with chalk have been dubbed a youth documentary by viewers.

This is something that so many people have experienced.

These are all things they have experienced, or at least seen in school.

The character Yu Huai breaks the stereotype that academic geniuses are bookworms, showcasing the humor of a science prodigy.

It has its vulnerabilities, but it also has its own gentleness.

Geng Geng resonates more with audiences through her ordinary perspective, showcasing her growth arc from inferiority to resilience.

The complementary friendship between a struggling student and a high achiever, the subtle feelings of adolescence, and the entanglement of family changes and friendship all accurately resonate with the audience's memories.

Birthday surprises, climbing over the wall to deliver gifts, and being alone on the rooftop; parting from the college entrance exam, and the mother's serious illness and sudden disappearance.

When viewers watched this episode, it was truly heartbreaking.

They were about to take the college entrance exams in the same city, and then they could be happily together.

However, on the eve of the college entrance examination, Yu Huai's mother suddenly developed uremia, forcing him to give up his guaranteed admission to Tsinghua University and choose a local university in order to take care of his family.

When Geng Geng went to the appointment full of anticipation, Yu Huai did not appear, but left behind a note that he owed her a farewell.

This scene pushes the contrast between the beauty of youth and the cruelty of reality to its extreme.

It wasn't until seven years later, in late autumn, that the unfinished words were spoken on the highlands.

Lu Xinghe's 56 unsuccessful marriage proposals over ten years were destined for Geng Geng and Yu Huai.

After the final episode aired, the final ratings were released, instantly causing a sensation throughout the entertainment industry.

How can a youth film have such high viewership ratings?!
We, at our best, submitted a truly perfect exam paper.

The premiere episode achieved a viewership rating of 2.5%.
Then it continued to rise in popularity, reaching a peak viewership rating of 6%.
The average viewership rating was 3.5%.
The show's premiere ratings soared, with Bai Ye's portrayal of "Yu Huai" and Jing Tian's portrayal of "Geng Geng" becoming the focus of heated discussions.

The youth campus theme resonated with audiences, earning a Douban rating of 8.7+ and setting a new benchmark for domestic youth dramas.

These various data points instantly attracted the attention of domestic entertainment industry capital and brought the current market to the forefront.

It seems that it's not just period dramas that can be filmed.

This seemingly ordinary campus drama has achieved such high viewership ratings!
Bai Ye and Jing Tian, ​​who starred in this drama, are arguably the two most popular actors right now.

Since the airing of "With You," the two have been a constant topic of discussion on Weibo, trending on the platform.

The trending topics feature on Weibo is a new feature that was just launched this year.

Since this feature was launched, no celebrity has been able to achieve what Bai Ye and Jing Tian have.

For the past ten days or so, it has consistently dominated the top trending topics.

I declare! "The Best of Us" is the best domestic youth film of the year, bar none!

[Absolutely! It's much better than those terrible dramas. This is the kind of youth campus drama that our domestic kids watch!]

Wow! Thank goodness Geng Geng and Yu Huai finally met, otherwise I would have cried my eyes out!

I think Yu Huai really deserves it!

[He's handsome and a top student, but this all happened because of family circumstances. Sigh, why didn't I meet a top student like Yu Huai in high school?!]

[The above is impossible!]

Why?!

[Because Bai Ye is a terrible student in real life, hahaha!]

【I】

That seems to be true!

The real-life Bai Ye and the character Yu Huai, played by Bai Ye in the drama, are completely opposite.

In real life, Bai Ye is a terrible student, a fact he revealed himself on the variety show "Happy Camp".

But even if he's a bad student, at least he's handsome.

Actually, I think Lu Xinghe is quite good too. Speaking of which, why does the actor who plays Lu Xinghe look familiar?

[iPartment! It's a pretty funny TV series, I recommend watching it.]

This drama is not just about Bai Ye and Jing Tian.

Sun Yizhou and Mao Xiaotong, who also starred in the film, received considerable attention.

This drama is simply a phenomenal TV series.

The two main characters in the show became wildly popular, and several supporting actors also received considerable attention.

Wow, didn't you guys notice?! This year's White Night is a breakout year! First, there was the opening drama of the year, The Myth, where he acted alongside Hu Ge.

Then there's Zhou Yu in the new Three Kingdoms series, he's so handsome!
Next came the resurgence of popularity of Chinese Paladin 3, with its incredibly faithful portrayal of the Demon Lord Chonglou, and finally, the currently airing "With You".

This is absolutely amazing!

With four dramas, the popularity of "Day and Night" skyrocketed this year, and the actress also received both critical and commercial acclaim for her acting skills.

The immense popularity of "The Best of Us" proves that Bai Ye is capable of playing the lead role.

It was a very successful battle.

Previously, Bai Ye was considered a supporting character, or at least a supporting character with a hint of being a "golden supporting character."

Therefore, most of the roles that were cast in the film "White Night" were supporting roles, but now we have the best of us to back us up.

This has also made many people realize that Bai Ye may not necessarily only be able to play supporting roles.

Even if someone is the lead actor, they can still act in the show and carry it.

Within the industry, due to the immense popularity of this drama, the commercial value of "White Night" has also begun to soar, and many companies have begun to reassess their valuations and have taken notice of this newly established studio.
