Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 66-Yang Mi's Rejection, the Myth is Coming! (Begging for the First Order!)
"Sister Mi, do you want the heroine or not?!"

After much hesitation.

Bai Ye finally decided to find Yang Mi first.

Mainly because Bai Ye likes to work with actors he is more familiar with.

Although in Bai Ye's opinion, Yang Mi is not the most suitable actor, but she should be qualified for the role, right?

After all, it's just a campus drama, so it's fine if the heroine isn't too ugly. Bai Ye doesn't have too high requirements for the heroine.

The role of Geng Geng needs to have a sense of youthfulness, stubbornness and a down-to-earth side, while also having acting skills that can convey delicate emotions.

As for Yang Mi, she is of the right age now and not too old, so she can still play the role of a student.

"Heroine?"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, took the phone and subconsciously looked at the name on it.

That’s right!
It’s Bai Ye!

no? !
Has this guy gotten to the point where he can play the female lead?
Sure enough, he must have been spotted by some rich woman!

He really made me cry!
This was taken care of by a rich woman, and with good resources, the first person she thought of was herself?!
It really wasn’t in vain that I loved Bai Ye!
just
Now Yang Mi is a little conflicted because her schedule for next year is basically full.

But it's not like she can't act.

Let’s wait and see.

"My studio is planning to start filming a campus youth drama, probably in 2010. Sister Mi, do you have any ideas? If you come, I'll give you the female lead!"

"A play made in your studio!?"

Yang Mi widened her eyes. She originally thought that Bai Ye had obtained resources from somewhere.

I didn’t expect that it was a TV series produced by my own studio.

Yang Mi is numb.

"No?! Your studio has just been established, right? You're already filming?"

Yang Mi felt that Bai Ye's step was too big.

You don't sign a contract with any company, but set up your own studio first. And now that the studio has just been established, you're planning to shoot a TV series yourself?

Aren’t you afraid of going bankrupt?
And the most important thing now is that the market is not very interested in campus dramas.

Nowadays, everyone is filming costume dramas, whether it is TV or movies, costume dramas seem to be more popular.

When you shoot a campus drama, aren't you really afraid that no one will watch it?
"Yes, Sister Mi, in my current situation, it's best for me to make my own play. I want to give it a try. Anyway, the investment in campus plays is not very large. Sister Mi, how are you doing?"

Bai Ye did not hide it from Yang Mi. Investing in this thing was not a big deal in itself, even if Yang Mi was not involved in it.

But now there is a consensus in the entertainment industry.

Big investments and big productions are usually costume dramas. For modern dramas, the budget is generally not too high.

“2010.”

Yang Mi frowned.

This is a very awkward time.

She is currently finishing filming The Perfect Match and will be joining the prequel to Detective Di Renjie.

Next year she will have another imperial capital love story, Palace.

The Imperial Capital Love Story had already been negotiated, but Yu Zheng mentioned it to himself during the Beauty's Secret.

Yu Zheng intended to find Yang Mi to be the female lead.

And after knowing the outline of the script, Yang Mi had actually agreed.

I'll just wait until I have time to join the group.

In addition to some business matters, if I sign a contract with Meiya later, I will also arrange a movie here.

If you look at it this way, I don't have time to film Bai Ye's TV series at all.

"Bai Ye, I don't want to cheat you. I don't have time next year. If it's not your play, I might still try to act in it, but if it's produced by your studio, then I definitely won't go!"

Since Yang Mi was not planning to go, she didn't plan to ask about the script.

After all, the first person Bai Ye thought of when filming was himself.

Then she can't cheat Bai Ye.

She was indeed thinking about filming several TV series by herself and then finishing them all.

But if she really did that, it would be difficult for her to maintain her condition, and if that happened, Bai Ye would be in trouble, which she didn't want to see.

"Okay, Miss Mi, I get it."

really
For popular shows like this, the release dates obviously need to be coordinated in advance.

Although Yang Mi can only be considered a second-tier star at the moment, there are still quite a few resources looking for her.

Although Bai Ye had thought about this situation when he was looking for Yang Mi.

But if Yang Mi is not available, then should I look for Tan Songyun, the original female lead of this TV series?

He had also looked for information about Tan Songyun before.

He debuted in 05, went to Beijing Film Academy in 07, and had works in 08 and 09.

But he is just a small actor at the moment and not very famous.

"Bai Ye, actors' schedules are like this. You'll understand when you become famous. I don't want to cheat you, right?! Besides, I have a very good script in hand right now, and I don't want to turn it down."

Yang Mi hesitated for a moment, but still talked to Bai Ye.

In fact, it was because the TV series Bai Ye was going to shoot conflicted with "Palace".

Yang Mi didn't want to give up Palace Lock Heart Jade just like that, so she could only reject the olive branch thrown by Bai Ye.

"I know Sister Mi, then I'll go find someone else to ask."

"Um, do you want me to recommend one? It's definitely impossible to find Shishi, but I asked Tangtang, and she's about the same as me next year, and the schedule is full.

And what's your budget?!
If there aren't many, then don't hire big-name actors. A school play doesn't really need big-name stars."

Yang Mi reminded.

If Bai Ye can't find anyone at this time, he can recommend some people to him.

After all, I have some connections in the circle.

She also didn't know whether Bai Ye had looked for Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and others.

Anyway, she felt that it was impossible for these two people to come.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy III is already showing signs of becoming a huge hit, whether it's the feud between Bai Ye and Tang Ren or the commercial performances arranged by the company after it became a hit.

They definitely don’t have the resources to film such a campus drama now.

But she didn't want to make it clear.

"That's not necessary, Sister Mi, I'll look for it myself later. If it doesn't work, I'll contact you."

"Okay! If you really can't find it, just tell me and I'll recommend it to you!"

After Yang Mi and Bai Ye hung up the phone, they always felt a sense of discomfort.

But it disappeared in just a moment.

Zeng Jia, who was standing by, saw Yang Mi like this and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did your brother ask you to act in a play?"

Although she didn't hear it clearly before, she could roughly guess the reason why the other party was looking for Yang Mi from her words.

"Well, his studio is going to make a youth campus drama. I guess he wants to be the protagonist himself, and he wants me to be the female lead."

"This studio has only been established for a short time, right?!"

There was a hint of surprise in Zeng Jia's eyes.

I shot it myself. If I remember correctly, Bai Ye’s studio was established not long ago.

Yang Mi mentioned this matter to me.

At that time, Yang Mi said that her younger brother was really amazing. He had just entered the entertainment industry not long ago and had no background, but he had actually set up a studio.

When Zeng Jia heard this, she actually felt that Bai Ye was stubborn.

You don't have any connections in the entertainment industry, and you're not signed to a company, yet you dare to set up a studio?!

How are you going to take on the role then?
You don't really think you'll be as lucky as you are now, do you?

And if you keep playing supporting roles, you won't be able to get to the top. But the leading roles are only played by contracted artists or through resource exchanges.

A situation like Bai Ye's is simply impossible.

But Zeng Jia didn't expect Bai Ye to take such a big step.

It's not long since he set up his studio and he's already paying for the drama production himself?
"It's just been established, but if he wants to play the leading role now, this is the only way."

Yang Mi nodded. In fact, she could understand Bai Ye.

The main reason is that the resources are now in the hands of those companies. If you don’t sign the contract, you naturally won’t get them.

Now that Bai Ye wants to play the leading role, he can only do it himself.

"Hearing what you said, he's actually quite smart. He knows that producing a youth campus drama wouldn't be too expensive. Even if it fails, with all the investment from other parties involved, the most he'll lose is the money he's earned in the past few years."

Zeng Jia made a rough calculation in her mind.

The cost wouldn't be particularly high. If Bai Ye insisted on filming a costume drama, she would think that Bai Ye was mentally ill.

Youth idol dramas, for example, are very suitable for making a small investment for a big return.

"So you won't think about it!?"

It's not just the relationship between Bai Ye and Yang Mi.

Zeng Jia had been worried whether Yang Mi liked Bai Ye, or whether Bai Ye had other thoughts about Yang Mi.

But judging from the current situation, she felt that her worries might be unnecessary.

There shouldn't be any problems between the two of them.

And if it's just a youth drama, Yang Mi can actually give it a try.

Although next year's schedule is expected to be very tight.

"Don't think about it. You know if I mess up the scene, it will affect the filming. I don't want to let him down.

After all, it's his first film, and although I really want to participate, I don't think his budget is big enough."

Yang Mi shook her head. She had thought about this matter before, but gave up after thinking about it.

But this made Zeng Jia look at him with a new eye.

Good guy.
Are you still worried about affecting the other person?

This is completely different from Yang Mi's previous state of mind where she wanted to be famous so much that she wanted to grab any opportunity.

"That's fine. After all, you really won't be able to squeeze out the time later. This will be good for both you and him."

"It's just that I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

“I’m afraid this play will become popular and I’ll miss it.”

What Yang Mi was struggling with was that she was really a little scared.

If this drama becomes popular and I don't get the role, wouldn't that be a missed opportunity?!

Zeng Jia was speechless at his anxious look.

So this is what she is worried about, although it seems to make sense.
"How's it going?"

"Rejected. Sister Mi doesn't have any schedule."

It's a pity.

Originally, if this script was acted out with Yang Mi, it could have created a wave of scandals.

"That's normal. If you just ask them out straight away, there's no way they'll agree. Generally speaking, it takes six months to coordinate in advance. For popular ones, it might even take two or three years."

When you become famous, these resources will line up waiting for you.

So before Lin Wan thought about Bai Ye asking Yang Mi to act, she didn’t actually have much hope.

"Sister Lin, what do you think about us finding a new actor, or a young actor who has acted before but is not very famous?!"

Since Yang Mi is not coming here, Bai Ye can only start other plans.

Tan Songyun!

Although she is not famous at the moment, she is indeed the most suitable and best heroine for our show.

What's more, when filming this drama, Tan Songyun was six or seven years older than he is now.

This state is naturally different.

The only thing to worry about are issues related to acting. If the acting is not up to standard, then forget it. This is something the director should think about.

"I think it's totally possible. After all, we don't have that much money to produce it. Have you thought about finding a company to invest?"

It doesn't matter if you want to find new actors.

After all, campus dramas don’t care whether you have a lot of big-name stars.

What matters is that the characters fit and the plot is excellent.

Lin Wan has also read the script. It is very good and not too melodramatic.

The most important thing now is to find a company to produce it, as their studio does not have the production capabilities.

What's more, if you release it later, if you don't have a company to push it behind you, you don't know when your TV series will be released.

"No, but I want to find someone who won't interfere with the script or the role. Of course, for some supporting roles, if the conditions are relatively equal, or there is just a slight gap, I can consider the person they put in."

"."

Your request.

Although it doesn't sound too outrageous, how could a small studio like theirs, which had just been established not long ago, make such a request?
Is there any company that can agree to this?
According to Bai Ye, it means that some people with connections can be stuffed in, but they cannot be too bad, and they cannot be too important either.

Secondly, the post-production and negotiation have to be handed over to the other party, and the other party also has to invest.

This is a lot of work. If you make money, it's fine. But if you lose money...
"I understand. I'll ask about it later!"

Lin Wan nodded, and she also decided in her heart to polish what Bai Ye said later.

Negotiation.

If the other party could agree to Bai Ye’s request, it wouldn’t be too outrageous.

"By the way, do you have anyone in mind for the female lead?!"

Lin Wan suddenly thought of something. Bai Ye had just said this to her because he had already thought of a candidate for the female lead.

"Tan Songyun, a not very famous actress. I happened to have seen her work before and I felt that she was quite suitable for the role of Geng Geng."

"Tan Songyun? Then I'll show it to you later."

Lin Wan murmured something, and she also remembered the name, and then helped Bai Ye to find it.

Then the next step is to find a film and television company to invest in producing the best TV series for us.

As for Tan Songyun, she will look for some information later.

"By the way, the Shinhwa drama will air on January 2nd. Be prepared when this drama airs. You're definitely going to get scolded this time!"

Before leaving, Lin Wan also remembered something.

The Myth is about to be broadcast, and it will be broadcast on CCTV. She can’t imagine how popular it will be.

And Zhao Gao, played by Bai Ye, is likely to be the one being scolded.

After all, from watching the trailer, she could tell how bad Bai Ye's performance was.

"Isn't it Chinese Paladin III?!"

"That drama won't air on satellite TV until February 14th, the first day of the Lunar New Year. That means your two dramas will basically be aired back-to-back. I hope you can get promoted to a second-tier drama after that, so I can negotiate with those companies!"

Lin Wan thought it would be very difficult to reach the second line with just Zhao Gao and Demon Lord Chonglou.

But how will you know if you don’t try?!

It’s just a pity that the character of Zhao Gao is a villain. It would be better if he was a positive character with a good personality.

In fact, Lin Wan was still very confident. The main reason was that Zhao Gao was too bad, and she really didn't dare to think about it.

In fact, she is more looking forward to the broadcast of the new Three Kingdoms on May 2. By then, this drama may really allow Bai Ye to enter the second line.

One reason is the previous accumulation, and the other is that this role has received strong positive feedback, and this is a serious drama.

But everything still depends on it. It would be best if we can rush in earlier. If not, then we will wait until the best dramas like ours come out and rush in!
