Chapter 138: Chi Ye: I’m Really Pissed Off Right Now
“You want to be a good actor, just like your captain… a ‘good actor’.”
When Jiang Kaige’s voice gradually faded, he cleared his throat and continued to speak with phlegm: “But have you ever considered that doing this will make you lose your actor’s feathers? The impression you leave on everyone will be that of a sales promotion anchor!”
To say Poet Jiang might be genuinely speaking his mind, or simply unable to tolerate this kind of thing.
After all, the poet’s world always has “style.”
In any case, after he said this, the live performance atmosphere became silent again.
Ji Zhua Zhang frantically glanced at Chi Ye, then looked at Sheng Ning.
Chi Ye was expressionless, Sheng Ning looked down and didn’t speak.
“…”
Teacher Zhang glanced at everyone’s expressions, suddenly smiled and spoke: “Actually Director Kaige is also loving deeply and hating deeply… um, loving deeply and hating deeply, embarrassed…”
She awkwardly covered her face and said again: “It’s about an actor ‘part-time’ doing sales promotion anchor, what Teacher Zeng said earlier was actually very good.”
“Although we can’t completely deny an actor’s value just because they did live commerce, actors who truly cherish their reputation won’t destroy their mystique as actors for money.”
Teacher Wu also nodded: “There’s always a role separating actors and audience. For singers, crosstalk actors, hosts, it’s quite suitable for them to do live commerce, but actors must control the distance from the audience.”
“The purpose of our program is to help you actors truly find your actor identity, no longer confused, no longer troubled and struggling because of various external labels, and be yourself…”
“Yes, yes, Ziyi is right.”
Teacher Zeng nodded repeatedly.
Several mentors wrapped up this highly sensational “soul questioning.”
The matter was set, recording continued.
At the same time.
Outside world.
Regarding 《Actors Please Take Place》 third season’s just-occurred “live performance conflict” “shocking big gossip” that had been brewing for a long time, was personally exploded by the program team.
On platforms like Weibo and Douyin, a large number of 《Actors Please Take Place》 recording live performance videos of Sheng Ning and Chi Ye conflicting suddenly appeared.
The video was indeed made very “old,” just like it was shot by some contestant at the live performance with their mobile phone.
But throughout the video, the watermarked 《Actors Please Take Place》 third season LOGO was always present, in the most conspicuous place.
Regarding the news of the head of Four Little Flowers + current popular traffic, plus Sheng Ning and Chi Ye’s names…
What does Sheng Ning + Chi Ye represent?
A year ago, this meant traffic, meant Chi Ye was going to make trouble again, going to suck Sister Ning’s blood again!
#Sheng Ning Chi Ye#
#Chi Ye: Have you moved?#
#Sheng Ning: I’ve moved to kill#
#Older age#
#Phoenix Man#
#Sister Shang’s happy day#
Various related hot words hardly needed the program team to spend money, as soon as they appeared, they ascended the hot search list.
The entries with their two names even accomplished the feat of topping the list.
Chi Ye’s popularity, after 《Circulation》 ended, instantly warmed up after more than a month of vacancy, a wave of blood recovery.
Sheng Ning… Sheng Ning was already red to purple recently, 《Strange Tales Record》 had even broken 2.5 billion box office, fans boasting every day, bystanders gradually indirectly recognizing her box office-carrying ability.
So, this time it still did her no good at all… purely “being ridden on popularity.”
Sister Ning’s fans were furious!
Ahhh! Hu Ye’s true nature is hard to change, riding on popularity back again!
「Hu Ye, be a person with conscience! Don’t keep shearing one person!」
「Suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by Hu Ye sucking blood a few years ago.」
「What karma did Sister Ning accrue in her previous life? I was still thinking yesterday, with Sister Ning’s box office double hit this time, it felt like something was missing… turns out it was missing Hu Ye coming to ride on popularity!」
「Sheng Ning’s fans basically enough, my bro doesn’t lack this bit of popularity now, okay? Double hit drama 《Circulation》 second lead male, the two just had a fight on the program, don’t react like PTSD.」
「Some Ning fans are really ridiculous, whatever others do is riding on your family’s popularity, right?」
「Double hit? When did 《Circulation》 count as double hit? Double hit in fans’ mouths?」
「Single-carrying 2.5 billion box office? How do Sheng Ning fans have the face to boast? Second lead has the face to boast single-carrying? All relying on others to carry!」
「Internal entertainment circle each family’s top little flowers pay attention, Hu Ye is still that Hu Ye, everyone defend well, don’t get ridden on again! Jin Xia’s family excepted!」
「???」
As the saying goes, times are different now.
Even Sheng Ning’s fans didn’t expect that Hu Ye now actually has fans, and the scale and combat power are not small.
In the daily feud between both sides, the once one-sided “massacre” situation didn’t appear—this was already “shameful” for Sheng Ning’s fans who once infinitely face-riding and crushing Chi Ye’s fans!
The two sides instead stirred the popularity higher and higher.
Even, in the end, each little flower’s fans spontaneously created a #Defend Against Chi Ye Riding Guide# hot search entry.
But except for Shi Jinwei’s family, the other three: one main idol gossiping no reaction, another delighted, CP fans even posted “only ride one family, thanks,” Sheng Ning side still fighting, do not disturb.
Later, only Sister Qianzi’s team took it seriously.
As for the popular young actresses ranked after them… except quasi-first-tier and a few green robes, second-tier around little flowers said: ride on popularity then ride, Chi Ye’s popularity is so high now, form a CP, not impossible!
As everyone knows, Chi Ye and Jin Xia are CP, Chi Ye and Sheng Ning have also been CP, even Chi Ye and Sister Shang, Sister Qianzi have CPs.
Calculated this way, whoever has CP with Chi Ye is a top little flower.
Rushing this “metaphysics,” now have to mention status.
Um… after this fuss, Chi Ye lived on the hot search list!
Thanks to my Sister Ning’s gift!
Of course, someone paying attention to Chi Ye and Sheng Ning, someone paying attention to 《Actors Please Take Place》.
The program team’s purpose this time isn’t to “promote” Chi Ye and Sheng Ning, it’s for their own program!
During this, someone noticed 《Actors Please Take Place》 among various chaotic entries.
…
Yue Na Headquarters.
Young President Liu, who had “devoted to recuperation” for a while and finally gradually walked out of the green haze, learned the online messages, eyes flickering uncertainly.
“Sheng Ning and Chi Ye fought again?”
“Fight what fight, Chi Ye couldn’t beat her before, this is just the first time.”
“Um… 《Actors Please Take Place》 this variety show popularity is quite high.”
Young President Liu lightly tapped the desk with fingers: “How’s our Rise second-generation group preparation?”
“Already selecting people.”
“Um, that’s good.”
Young President Liu sneered: “Chi Ye is a master at riding popularity, I originally thought after riding Jin Xia, he’d let Sheng Ning go, never expected this guy’s schemes so deep, even now hugging Sheng Ning to messily ride… tsk tsk… Sheng Ning just had box office double hit, and he topped hot search, you say, shouldn’t we learn from them?”
The new deputy nodded, also smiled: “Actually already learning.”
—Rise second-generation group.
Full name Rose Boy Group!
This boy group was proposed by the deputy after joining the company, observing Rise’s all recent performances and popularity for a while, discussed together with Young President Liu.
The purpose is just one—imitate the former Rise.
Yes.
Rise this boy group is very strange, say it’s successful… just after forming it was successful for a while, but soon diarrhea.
But say it’s not successful… that’s not accurate.
Look at how much shock and fun Rise brought to internal entertainment circle!!
Just now, active in internal entertainment circle upper level, one of double hits first-tier top streamer Peng Chen + current popular traffic Chi Ye.
Ji Zhua Zhang and Jiang Mou even play dead and make trouble from time to time.
Such a boy group, how can it not count as successful?
From traffic perspective, Rise is absolutely unprecedentedly successful!
So, Young President Liu who once infinitely hated Rise and “Rise girl group,” after several incidents, also enlightened.
They Yue Na is Rise’s training base, and since there can be first Rise, why not second Rise?
Rose Boy Group came into being, determined to recreate Rise’s former glory!
“Oh right, what did Ji Hemming say, Li Qian still ignoring him?”
Young President Liu remembered another thing, asked.
“Sigh, these two have completely broken… Li Qian should be very angry knowing those things.”
“Fuck, he’s really trash!”
Young President Liu cursed, also a bit troubled inside.
This Li Qian isn’t ordinary, she’s the big princess of Northwest Circle, otherwise how could Ji Hemming’s movie resources be so good?
The two broke over last “stinky feet incident,” loss for Ji Hemming personally, for Yue Na not that serious, but… thinking of Ji Hemming, Young President Liu gets angry!
All fucking blame Chi Ye!
…
《Actors Please Take Place》 recording live performance.
Recording had gone to early morning, this episode of program about to end.
After opening gimmick, 《Actors Please Take Place》 did conventional self-introductions.
Cheating, being mistress, having colored experiences, head-swapping, selling chicken feet, doing edge-balling…
In short, bizarre shapes, humanoid collection.
Finally, just when everyone watched bored, almost desensitized, the real heavyweight contestant finally appeared.
—Xiang You.
He stepped in his changed high heels, twisting waist onto the stage.
Teacher Wu and Teacher Zeng instantly pain masks, Chi Ye looked two seconds, averted gaze.
“Hello everyone, hello teachers of mentors and consultant group.”
Xiang You on stage, serious face: “I’m Xiang You, I hope to be an excellent actor, thank you.”
Live performance quiet two seconds, gave applause.
This segment is actors introducing themselves in turn on stage, those with representative works will introduce them.
No, then say why participate in this variety show, and finally five mentors will pre-“take under wing” based on their live performance.
Xiang You previously failed “first round screening” in film and television city, obviously now he especially wants to be “taken under wing.”
Burning gaze toward Teacher Wu and Teacher Zeng.
“Oh…” Teacher Wu lightly frowned, pretended not see Xiang You’s eyes, just asked: “Can you say why you came to this variety show?”
“I want to get an acting opportunity!”
Everyone: “…”
Xiang You added: “I’m in Hong Kong, no one dares hire me to act, because family disagrees… so, I feel I can be an actor!”
Teacher Wu fell into contemplation.
Chi Ye next to didn’t pay attention at all, already frantically extracting skills from Teacher Wu.
—Teacher Wu, partner in his later 《Big Shot》 movie, also a lucky draw pool.
In youth, rose by playing big villains, multiple nominations for Hong Kong Film Awards movie emperor, acting skills publicly acknowledged strong—especially villain roles.
For example classic Ni Yongxiao, Liang Kun, all screen classics.
This is also one purpose of coming to 《Actors Please Take Place》 this time.
‘Directly copy master-level scroll.’
Chi Ye now rich to overflowing, didn’t hesitate much, flung master-level scrolls at Teacher Wu.
A person may have many skills, but higher level skills, quantity correspondingly decreases, ironclad fact.
So, Chi Ye felt his harvest should be plentiful.
Indeed.
Heard system notification sound continuously ringing.
【You obtained『Wu Zhenyu』’s eerie eyes（master-level）】
【Wu Zhenyu classic villain eye acting, endows actor ability to precisely convey villain’s inner scheming, ruthlessness and cunning eye charm, just one look makes audience shiver, see through villain’s dangerous thoughts.】
【You obtained『Wu Zhenyu』’s body adjustment ability（master-level）】
【Wu Zhenyu’s body adjustment performance ability, in action scenes shows villain shadow-like, silent yet agile sharp action style, whether latent, ambush or maneuver, perfectly performs villain’s ghostly traits.】
【You obtained『Wu Zhenyu』’s Boss aura（master-level）】
【Wu Zhenyu’s lifelong harvest, emits unique villain charm, every gesture self-brings soul-hooking evil, unconsciously attracts opponents and audience.】
Wow, I’m movie emperor, I’m invincible!
Besides, how come Teacher Wu has no “good person” skills at all!
Drew five times in a row, aside from two useless master-level fishing and master-level tea-brewing, all got satisfactory skills.
Chi Ye instantly felt, higher level, more useful!
This probability whooshes upward.
Three skills, one master-level eyes, one action scene body adjustment ability, last one even all-around “villain gift package.”
What to say?
Can only say professional match, found right person!
Chi Ye: I’m very angry now!
Um… very angry he saw Xiang You didn’t know said what, Teacher Wu’s brows already frowned into Mercedes three-pointed star shape.
He blurted: “Teacher Wu is gonna sit Mercedes walk.”
Teacher Wu: “Ah?”
Chi Ye came back, shook head, saw camera on him and pained-face Wu Zhenyu, and Teacher Wu’s eyes with “expect save field” looking at him…
What did Xiang You just say?
“He said let me… select him oh…”
Teacher Wu lips moved.
Chi Ye doesn’t understand lip reading, but understood his meaning, silent half moment, shook head: “Teacher Wu don’t look at me like that.”
“Too rampant in youth, gotta suffer in old age.”
Teacher Wu: “…”
“Puhaha.”
Li Qian heard this, couldn’t hold back again, directly covered face.
Good one too rampant in youth… Teacher Wu’s youth screen image indeed “too rampant.”
“So.” Teacher Wu went downhill, directly shifted topic: “So, we gonna film movie together… I’m positive character this time oh, he, he…”
He pointed at Chi Ye: “Chi Ye is villain, everyone please look forward.”
Chi Ye: “?”
“Wow…”
“Movie?? Teacher Wu and captain filming movie together?”
“Fuck! Villain? Chi Ye?”
“…No, Chi Ye what resources, this isn’t Imperial Clan?”
《Big Shot》’s situation now few people know, actors only set minority, so hearing Teacher Wu’s “promotion,” everyone widened eyes.
Chi Ye just aired a web drama with splash, resources directly ascended to partnering Teacher Wu level?
And play villain?
Fuck!
Sheng Ning side-glanced over, swept Chi Ye, sneered.
Phoenix Man can’t change anywhere, no Sheng Ning then Jin Xia, no Jin Xia maybe others.
Anyway, you indeed just that face can deceive young girls.
But, this face of yours, you tell me you’re playing villain?
What villain? Villain scared to surrender by one look from protagonist?
