Chapter 550 "Actors Please Take Your Place" Is a Big Hit!

Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei did not stay in Beijing for long.

After meeting the main creators of "Better Days", they boarded a plane to Taipei the next day after Wu Yuan flew back to China.

When Wu Yuan returned to China, it was already November 24th. The scenes of "The Martian" in the Hungarian studio were almost finished, and Matt had a good time as a farmer planting potatoes.

The next day, on the 25th, the crew of "Better Days" flew to Taipei.

On the way, Wu Yuan did not forget to ask about Liu Yifei's recent situation.

However, they had been chatting on the phone on weekdays. In fact, there was nothing to ask. The main question was about the broadcast of the show "Actors Please Take Your Place".

Although Liu Yifei ran away halfway through the gathering, she had been in contact with the fifty contestants for more than half a month and was familiar with them. Although she could not continue to lead them because she was busy running the "Better Days" road show, she always paid attention to their situation.

After the start of "Actors Please Take Your Place", she followed every episode without missing a single one.

The show has now reached the second half, and 50 contestants have been eliminated to only 12, namely Li Xian, Wu Jinyan, Zhang Yunlong, and Cai Wenjing from Beijing Film Academy.

Bai Yu and Liu Xueyi from the Central Academy of Drama.

Wang Yanlin, Jiang Jinfu, Zhong Chuxi, and Dilireba from Shanghai Theatre Academy.

And Zhao Liying and Wang Xiao, who are not from professional schools.

It is very surprising that only two students from the Central Academy of Drama, which is considered the cradle of domestic actors, advanced to the top 12, while Shanghai Theatre Academy, which has always been excluded from the Beijing circle and has the shallowest foundation, has four students who entered the top 12.

If Wu Yuan hadn't known that Light and Shadow Times completely controlled the production of the show, he would have thought that Dragon TV was behind it.

However, even if he knew that many students from Shanghai Theatre Academy advanced and it had nothing to do with Dragon TV, there are still many related rumors on the domestic Internet.

Who says that Dragon TV is a TV station in Shanghai? And Shanghai Theatre Academy is also in Shanghai.

However, the fact that there is such a high degree of discussion, and even various conspiracy theories and rumors are spreading on the Internet, also shows the popularity of "Actors Please Take Your Place".

After seven episodes of the show, "Actors Please Take Your Place" has become the most phenomenal variety show in China. Its momentum is not inferior to that of "Super Girl" back then, and it can be said to be the focus of the whole nation.

Now all the contestants of this show have become popular. Their newly opened Sina Weibo accounts have at least hundreds of thousands of followers, and the number of followers is almost breaking one million!

You know, even the first-line actors in the circle, not all of them can break one million on Weibo.

At present, the domestic Weibo platform has not yet unified the country, and the traffic of the Weibo platform has not yet been attributed to one platform to form a siphon effect, and things like buying fans have not yet become popular.

Being able to gain more than 500,000 fans on a single Weibo platform is already a very influential star, and those who have broken one million followers are definitely first-line stars.

Liu Yifei's Sina Weibo followers are only over 3 million, which is already among the top 10 on Sina Weibo.

The 50 contestants of "Actors Please Take Your Place" have at least 100,000 followers on Sina Weibo, which is not low in popularity.

Even the eliminated contestants who failed to enter the top 12 have become popular in the industry and have been signed by countless agencies.

For example, Zhang Yujian, Wu Qian, Ren Guochao, Yin Zheng, Li Chun, Qin Junjie, Ma Ke, Qiao Xin and others who entered the top 24 have been eliminated, but have signed with agencies and announced their entry into the film and television industry.

Even some of the quick ones have already received the scripts of the male and female protagonists and have joined the crew to start filming.

The agencies behind them are afraid that if they are slow, the popularity of them will dissipate. They wish that the TV series will start filming today and be broadcast tomorrow, and take advantage of the popularity of "Actors Please Take Your Place" to promote these newcomers.

A blessing in disguise.

Although they failed to enter the top 12 or even the top three or the champion, these eliminated contestants who have gained popularity through the "Actors Please Take Your Place" program will officially shoot TV series first, and their new dramas will definitely be shot before those of the top 12 contestants.

At that time, as long as their new dramas can attract audiences and they become popular first, it is really uncertain who will be able to go far in this circle in the end!

For example, Zhang Yujian and Wu Qian signed with Huace Film and Television together, and immediately launched the new "The Swordsmen".

Huace originally wanted to invite the well-known Taiwanese actor Zhong Hanliang to star in this new version of "The Swordsmen", and then promote its own newcomer Zhang Meng as the heroine.

However, after signing Zhang Yujian and Wu Qian, Huace simply put the two of them directly into "The Swordsmen" to play the male and female protagonists!

Let's bet that the popularity and influence of "Actors Please Take Your Place" will be even higher in the next few months, and the popularity of these two eliminated contestants will become more popular as the audience increases!

As long as the influence of "Actors Please Take Your Place" can last for more than half a year, until "Tian Ya Ming Yue Dao" starts airing, Zhang Yu Jian and Wu Qian will have the opportunity to become second-tier or above actors with this TV series and the fame they have accumulated in "Actors Please Take Your Place".

In this way, Huace's lack of star pillars can be made up, and it no longer needs to rely on the old artists in Taiwan who are gradually becoming outdated.

However, after hearing this from Liu Yifei, Wu Yuan was so amused.

Maybe this is fate?

This butterfly created "Actors Please Take Your Place" and messed up the world line beyond recognition. Zhang Yujian and Wu Qian are still together?

Wu Yuan, who has never believed in fate, has to sigh for their fate.

I just don't know if these two people will fall in love and have a secret marriage and child after signing to the same company and playing the male and female protagonists together.

That Zhang Yujian is really not a good man.

Wu Yuan doesn't care about these things. Anyway, Guangying Times only plans to sign the top three.

In fact, he still wants to sign Zhao Liying to the company. This person is also a model worker comparable to Yang Mi, and can always make money for the film and television company.

Unfortunately, Zhao Liying has already signed a company, and the contract is still newly signed. It is unrealistic to poach her in the short term.

It is also because of this incident that Zhao Liying is basically out of the top three.

No matter how fair and just Wu Yuan is, he can't let an actor who is not from his company and will never be signed by his company in the future take the biggest fruit of "Actors Please Take Your Place". He doesn't do this even for charity.

"Everyone has their own opportunities. We don't have to worry about the struggles of these newcomers."

Looking at the Taipei Taoyuan International Airport approaching outside the window, Wu Yuan interrupted Liu Yifei's long explanation of the "Actors Please Take Your Place" program and said with a smile: "I think you should be more concerned about tomorrow's Golden Horse Awards Ceremony."

"If you can win the Best Actress Award, it will be more important and meaningful than the company signing ten newcomers." (End of this chapter)
