"That's not true." Bai Yangyu shrugged. "Now several companies are treating us like fat sheep. Xiangjiang TV's actor variety show is also recruiting and hiring people."
"That's normal." Zhou Yiyang wasn't surprised. "The fact that people are following the trend shows that our show is really popular."
"By the way, Mr. Zhou," Bai Yangyu got down to business. "Didn't we decide to broadcast the finals of 'The Actors Are In Place' live? Shanghai TV contacted me and said they were willing to buy the live broadcast rights."
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang raised an eyebrow. "If they offer enough money, it's not impossible to consider it. And if it's on a satellite, it can indeed expand the influence."
The next day, Tang Yue learned the news from gossip she read somewhere.
She patted Su Yin's shoulder vigorously and said seriously, "Xiao Xiao Su, we both must work hard!"
Su Yin hummed, seemingly not following Tang Yue's train of thought.
"Think about it," Tang Yue said in a deceptive tone, "After going on TV, the attention will at least double. And we've already made it to the semi-finals. As long as we don't get eliminated this time, we'll be in the finals. If we're eliminated this time, wouldn't that mean all our efforts will be in vain?"
"That seems to be the case." Su Yin nodded: "But we are opponents this time."
Wang Xingrui, who was reading a book nearby, suddenly pricked up her ears.
Tang Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Indeed. But let me tell you, the script Director Zhang gave me this time is really good. You'll know on the day of recording."
Su Yin snorted and put her hands on her hips cooperatively. "So what? You know Brother Yang's level. He slacked off last time and is focusing on this one. You'll know when we start recording the day after tomorrow."
Lin Xuan'er, who was doing yoga, rolled over on her mat and said to Wang Xingrui next to her, "Look at them, they're bickering like little kids. Isn't it time for you two to go record the show?"
The rules for the semi-finals of "The Actors Are in Place" have been changed, and all four directors need to shoot a short film in advance.
This time, the target is a serious film work.
Three actors, 30 minutes of film time, a complete story.
Each director will bring his own filming team, a dedicated screenwriter, and professional film and television props provided by the program team.
This time, the audience did not see their live performance, but a short film filmed in advance.
"Starting from the semi-finals, our show has restored the real film shooting." Zhou Yiyang explained: "After all, our show is still selecting movie actors, not drama actors."
The other three directors naturally had no objections. They were all film directors and were now returning to their old jobs. Everyone was eager to try.
Tang Yue and Su Yin checked the time and looked at the eliminated duo with some envy: "You guys are lucky. Apart from appearing on 'Spring of Music' to promote your new album on the weekend, you've been free these past few days."
Unexpectedly, Wang Xingrui immediately stood up and retorted, "How is that possible? Didn't Brother Yang tell you that we have to shoot a movie these few days? Brother Yang never wastes a minute."
Tang Yue and Su Yin felt instantly balanced and started humming songs on the way to the filming base.
After arriving at the place, Tang Yue went to Zhang Yingyuan's territory.
Su Yin glanced over there and saw several well-known figures in the film and television industry, all of whom were old friends of Zhang Yingyuan.
"Nervous?" Zhou Yiyang walked towards her with a smile: "The teacher is serious this time. But I won't let you be eliminated so easily. Follow me."
Luo Chen took a deep breath and walked over to Su Yin: "The pre-sale data for your second album is too strong. I'm under a lot of pressure."
"Why?" Su Yin looked over curiously.
"Brother Bai told me that my new album is expected to be released next month... Although I don't care, many people will definitely compare it to mine. I think the sales will definitely be crushed by you guys when the time comes."
Luo Chen thought clearly that his die-hard fans might be similar to Yue Shao's, but when it comes to the favorability of passers-by, he can't compare.
"You really don't care?" Zhou Yiyang turned his head and asked.
Being stared at like this by Zhou Yiyang, Luo Chen was silent for a while before he said, "Okay, it's not that I don't care."
"That's right," Zhou Yiyang encouraged, "Young people should have fighting spirit. Even though we are all from the same company, we should still have the momentum to compete with each other. You are so humble, I thought you were just retiring!"
Another actor was caught between them, looking awkward. He felt like he should say something, but he couldn't seem to find the words.
Luo Chen and Su Yin looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
What I just said is indeed Zhou Yiyang's style.
"Besides," Zhou Yiyang suddenly said, "Even if it's just the four of them, it won't be that easy to win the album sales champion this year."
The third actor very cooperatively asked, "No way? Is there another big star releasing an album?"
After all, the sales of Yue Shao’s second album have been widely discussed in the circle these days. In the eyes of many people, this album has already locked in the first place in this year’s sales list.
Su Yin's eyes rolled, and she suddenly thought of the answer: "I know, is Teacher Helian Bei also going to release an album?"
"Hmm," Zhou Yiyang made a shushing gesture, "I haven't decided yet. I have this idea. Don't tell anyone about it yet."
Luo Chen shuddered. He felt that if this news got out, other entertainment companies would probably be in big trouble.
This year's album market is likely to be monopolized by Yi Yang Entertainment.
The third actor tutted, not being surprised. After all, Yiyang Entertainment was probably the strongest music company in China right now.
