I'm a professional villain actor; my fans are begging me not to kill them.
Chapter 70 Now I'm your fan
As the days went by, Bai Ye continued filming as usual, while Huang Xiyu busied herself with opening her studio.
The studio's name has also been decided: "Starlight" Studio. The name has a very good meaning, is easy to pronounce, and also reflects Huang Xiyu's ambition.
Starlight, hoping everyone who joins the studio will shine brightly.
As soon as the star power was announced, many people in the entertainment industry inquired about who Huang Xiyu was planning to sign.
It's not that they're too gossipy; they're just very worried that Huang Xiyu will poach their artists. Every artist is a cash cow for them, and losing any one of them would be a huge loss.
However, they found out nothing. No artists joined, and this so-called Starlight Studio seemed to be just an empty shell company.
The very next day, Huang Xiyu went to the set of "The Hearts of People in Troubled Times" with her assistant.
She brought many gifts and, as Bai Ye's agent, treated the crew to extra meals on Bai Ye's behalf.
Everyone on the production crew was surprised that a top-notch agent would choose an unknown Bai Ye.
Chen Xiangbei was shocked. Even though he had provided Bai Ye's contact information and knew Huang Xiyu, he had never connected the two of them.
Fu Ziang's face was ashen, as if he'd swallowed a fly, but he still managed a forced smile. "Sister Huang, I thought you'd surprise me by signing a few superstars, but I didn't expect..."
Huang Xiyu smiled and said, "You're joking. Bai Ye has a lot of potential, doesn't he?"
Fu Ziang gritted his teeth, "It certainly has a lot of potential."
"Sister Huang, are you really not considering joining our company?"
Bai Ye was immediately displeased. "Why are you openly trying to poach someone from your partner?"
Fu Zi'ang ignored him completely, as if he hadn't heard him, and looked at Huang Xiyu.
Huang Xiyu shook her head, "No need, it's more liberating to work alone."
Fu Ziang sighed regretfully, but was also somewhat moved.
Freedom?
so good.
In less than half an hour, everyone knew that Bai Ye had a manager, Huang Xiyu, the former top manager of Shengshi Entertainment.
In the entertainment industry, there are two types of agents: top agents like Huang Xiyu, who have a network of relationships, resources, and connections, and wield significant influence; and smaller agents, who have very little influence.
No one expected that Bai Ye, a minor actor, would be paired with a top-notch agent right from the start.
Huang Xiyu greeted the actors and crew members with practiced ease. Chen Ang, Ren He, Hong Shuo, Zhang Chi… Huang Xiyu knew everyone Bai Ye knew, and even those he didn't.
This was the first time Bai Ye had truly witnessed what connections meant, from directors to actors to agents, Huang Xiyu knew it all too well.
Although Huang Xiyu didn't know the crew members, lighting staff, or props, she still arranged everything perfectly.
After the interaction, Huang Xiyu whispered, "Stay away from Fu Ziang!"
Bai Ye perked up. "There's a story behind it?"
There has been an accident.
Huang Xiyu refused to say more, and Bai Ye was extremely anxious. This was a perfect opportunity to see the good news, but he couldn't get his hands on it.
Bai Ye was itching for a fight; his mindset hadn't shifted from that of an ordinary person to that of a celebrity, and he still maintained the habit of wanting to eat any gossip that came his way.
Huang Xiyu cautioned, "Don't speak carelessly in the entertainment industry, especially don't treat others as good friends."
Bai Ye subconsciously looked at Ren He; if there were any friends, it would only be Ren He in the entire crew.
Huang Xiyu followed his gaze and added, "Anything is fine."
white night:"?"
"Alright, be careful. I'll find you some resources next."
Huang Xiyu came and went quickly, lasting only about an hour.
She left and the news spread online.
A top talent agent from Shengshi Entertainment left to establish Starlight Studio, and his first signed artist was revealed to be Bai Ye.
The entertainment industry was shocked, and everyone was asking who Bai Ye was.
Upon inquiring, they were even more shocked to discover that the actor was someone nobody knew.
"Has Huang Xiyu gone mad?"
"What triggered this?"
"Ignoring the golden fertilizer, I picked up a broken brick instead."
"Another person who mistook the platform for their own ability."
Mockery, doubt, regret, and incomprehension—no one understood what Huang Xiyu was doing.
Signing with Starlight is definitely a good thing for Bai Ye, but it may not be a good thing for Huang Xiyu.
If an agent wants to get ahead, they need to bring out stars. Can Bai Ye bring out stars?
There has never been a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry who only plays villains. Even if there were, they would have transitioned from villains to heroes.
He is a prime example. He started out playing villains, but he also played heroes. It took him a lot of effort to climb up the ranks step by step.
Playing villains is a waste of your potential.
This is a well-known rule in the entertainment industry: once a villainous role is played so convincingly that it resonates with the audience, the actor, like Lin Dong in "Bai Ye," becomes synonymous with villainy.
If people don't even remember your name, only your villainous roles, what kind of star are you?
With an agent, Bai Ye suddenly felt much more relaxed. He no longer needed to worry about certain things; Huang Xiyu would take care of everything for him.
They even had fans visiting the set – can you believe it?
Bai Ye, who has 300,000 followers, was stunned when he found out that some fans were willing to visit the set.
Is this the power of a top agent? It's terrifying.
Huang Xiyu told him that the fan visit had been arranged, and there wouldn't be many people. She encouraged him to have a good chat with them, not to be aloof, and to make sure to leave a good impression.
The next day, fans will come to visit the set.
Chen Xiangbei looked Bai Ye up and down and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! You've got fans visiting the set so soon?"
Bai Ye didn't know how to answer, "Uh, it was all arranged by Sister Huang."
Chen Xiangbei patted Bai Ye on the shoulder, "This is a good thing, you'll get used to it gradually."
When fans visited the set of "Day and Night," Chen Xiangbei readily gave them the green light.
"The Hearts of People in Troubled Times" capitalized on Bai Ye's trending topics several times, saving millions in promotional costs. Doing a favor is no problem.
"Bai Ye, go ahead, your fans are here."
A staff member came over to inform them, and everyone else looked at Bai Ye.
Fu Ziang's mouth dropped open, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears; it was his fans, not Bai Ye's, who had come.
Holy crap, it's only been a short time and fans are already visiting the set?
No, I have to go and take a look.
It was supposed to be a fan visit, but there weren't many people there, only seven or eight in total.
Bai Ye was stunned when she passed by. The fan in front of her with the hair clip looked familiar. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before.
"Hello, thank you for coming to see me." Bai Ye greeted them, then looked at the familiar fan, "Have we met before?"
The girl with long, straight black hair looked at him shyly, "Um, I sent you a gift before..."
Bai Ye suddenly remembered. He pointed at the girl, "You are...you are Fu Ziang's fan! You visited the set last time, right?"
Good grief, has the fan base been hacked? It turns out to be Fu Ziang's fans.
The others: "?"
Has one of our members become a traitor?
Fu Ziang, who had followed along, was delighted upon hearing this and couldn't help but praise his fans for their cleverness.
The girl quickly waved her hand, "I used to be, but now I'm your fan!"
Fu Zi'ang: "?"
white night:"?"
