Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 105, Section 104: Produce 101 Finale, Chao Yue's Genuine Emotions (4K)

Is this a dance performed by a kindergarten teacher?

As a kindergarten teacher, I can say that this is much simpler than our dance.

This is way too easy! It's not even in the same league as those other people.

I told you long ago, her hard work was just a persona created for the show. Which variety show doesn't have a script?

[If someone like Yang Chaoyue can even debut, this show is doomed.]

This is so perfunctory, I can't stand it!

The online arguments have already started on Weibo.

I was frequently trending on social media and getting criticized when Yang Chaoyue's popularity first started to rise.

People are probably wondering why someone who is terrible at both singing and dancing and can only cry has such high popularity.
Is it just because of that face?
But there are many women who are prettier than her.

Opinions on Yang Chaoyue vary.

Next up was a showcase of the singing abilities of the Produce 101 girls.

After one stage performance after another, the trainees changed back into their original pink uniforms.

They lined up and walked forward one by one, while their pre-recorded messages were played on the screen.

True fans who have followed the show closely will cry their eyes out every time the final group is formed.

It's even possible to say that any fan who has genuinely followed the talent show will be moved when they see the finale.

Lin Shaobai and a group of mentors walked onto the stage to meet the trainees face to face.

Soon it was Yang Chaoyue's turn.

Her gaze slowly shifted from the audience seats to the mentors, lingering particularly long on Lin Shaobai.

Yang Chaoyue initially thought Lin Shaobai was a very good vocal coach who was kind and patient with all the trainees.

But she gradually felt a different kind of affection for Lin Shaobai, an affection that was even deeper than admiration.

Just kidding. In that situation, how could you not be moved if someone cared about you so much?

The recording played a message Yang Chaoyue had spoken to herself.

"Everyone is making such a fast pace, I really want to slack off! But everyone is working so hard, I'm really looking forward to seeing a different you. If you don't change, I'm a total jerk!"

There's a lot of controversy online, but it has to be said that Yang Chaoyue did work hard to learn singing and dancing in "Produce 101".

Anyway, Lin Shaobai really saw that she had tried her best.

On the final stage, he still sang off-key and danced with uncoordinated movements...

It just proves that she has no talent.

As for whether Rocket Girls 101, as a girl group, has continued to practice diligently after their formation, we don't know.

Lin Shaobai noticed by chance that Wang Yibo, who was standing next to him, had tears in his eyes.

This guy, who had been expressionless the whole time, suddenly looked like he was about to cry.

Looking at Ella on the right, she was already in tears.

After a while, Ella raised the microphone: "I am honored to attend the graduation ceremony of Produce 101 Girls. Over the past three months, I have grown to like you all more and more. Now that it's here, I feel very reluctant to part ways. Every moment with you is etched in my mind. I hope you will maintain a healthy and positive attitude in the future, and I hope you will continue to be brave..."

After she finished speaking, Lin Shaobai also raised the microphone.

Before he could even speak, waves of screams erupted from below.

"Aa ...

"Lin Shaobai!!"

"Xiao Lin!"

He was even unable to speak for about 20 seconds.

The fans at the scene were so enthusiastic!! They were so noisy that he couldn't say a word!

Lin Shaobai smiled, then put his index finger to his lips, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

The moment the action was performed, the scene immediately fell silent.

The fans are very obedient.

"Actually, I'm about the same age as you. From being your mentor at the beginning to completing a collaboration with you later, these are all unforgettable experiences for me. I hope you will be happy and healthy in the future and continue to work hard."

The trainees in front of me were all crying uncontrollably, each asking for tissues to wipe their tears.

The voting officially ended after all the mentors had finished speaking.

The director had his staff hand Lin Shaobai the list of contestants who would make the final group.

Wang Yibo, Ella, Huang Zitao, and the others all looked at Lin Shaobai, as they didn't know who would be forming a group tonight.

Ella, in particular, practically pressed her face against Lin Shaobai's just to see the final group lineup.

Lin Shaobai: "The first person I'm announcing is the eighth place winner, who received 106536865 likes from the girl group's founders."

It's only in eighth place and already has 100 million likes.

More than 100 million votes are enough to prove that tens of millions of people are watching this show, and enough to prove how popular it is right now.

In 2020, Tencent Video launched a girl group talent show called Produce Camp 2020, but the sixth place winner didn't even get 100 million likes.

"Inspired by the power of her idol, a seed was planted in her heart. She also aspires to be the most powerful person on stage. Capable of moving everyone in the audience, she is... Yang Yunqing!!"

The trainees quickly ran to Yang Yunqing's side to hug her and comfort her.

Amidst the sobs, she stepped into the microphone to deliver her acceptance speech.

During this time, Wang Yibo walked over to Lin Shaobai and glanced at the trainee list.

He was a little disappointed.

Because he had always favored Douzi, who was the best dancer, but Douzi never debuted.

It is a pity.

He can't bring these emotions into his live stream right now.

Following that, Zhang Zining came in seventh, Lai Meiyun in sixth, and Yami in fifth...

We've finally reached third place!
It was Lin Shaobai's turn to announce the third place.

He opened the envelope without much surprise.

"I will be announcing tonight's third place winner. The competition for third place is particularly fierce, with a total of 138560782 likes from the girl group's founders. By the way, does she have long hair or short hair? Is she better at singing or dancing?"

Lin Shaobai deliberately left the audience in suspense with humor.

Many people at the scene were calling out Yang Chaoyue's name.

Indeed, now only the three most popular contestants remain.

There's no suspense anymore.

The other trainees, knowing they had no chance of debuting, covered their faces and cried with regret.

Lin Shaobai knew that Yang Chaoyue was the most criticized during the broadcast of the show.

Everyone said she wasn't good enough for him.

To be fair, she deserved to come in third place without any problem.

She is incredibly popular, and her fans are all quite wealthy.

There are others who are truly unworthy of debuting in a group.

And there are three.

"Congratulations to Yang Chaoyue for coming in third place!!!"

Yang Chaoyue first bowed to everyone, and finally, holding back her tears, she came to the microphone.

“I came to this stage three months ago. I really came expecting food, lodging and 2000 yuan, but I never thought I would be standing in such a high position. Not to mention standing on such a big stage to sing and dance, this is something I never thought possible in my life.”

Yang Chaoyue was telling the truth; she initially worked in a factory.

After participating in "Produce 101," the gears of fate began to turn. She choked up slightly at the end, looking at Lin Shaobai who had been standing in the distance.

Perhaps looking at someone you know well would be better at this moment.

Lin Shaobai also gave her an encouraging look.

Yang Chaoyue nodded and continued, "Actually, I... have been under a lot of pressure lately. Singing and dancing have really put a lot of pressure on me. But at the same time, I'm also very reluctant to leave. I have deep feelings for this show and for everyone. Thank you to all the girl group founders who have supported me. Without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today. I also want to thank my company for their continued support, and finally, I want to thank the mentors who have been guiding me in singing and dancing."

"Especially." She paused for a long time, then looked at Lin Shaobai again: "Thank you to every mentor, but of course, I am most grateful to Mentor Lin Shaobai. In my heart, you have always been a very great figure. I never expected you to be so good at comforting people. You gave me endless encouragement. I also want to be encouraged like this by Teacher Lin. It is truly the luckiest, luckiest, luckiest thing in my life! Thank you!"

After Yang Chaoyue finished speaking, she bowed deeply and then went to the third throne on the pyramid.

The final center position in this group was held by Meng Meiqi, and the second place was held by Wu Xuanyi.

With this, the Produce 101 talent show came to a successful conclusion.

The final 11 girls have already taken their places in the group.

The group's name is Rocket Girls 101.

It sounds corny, but the moment the group name was announced, the atmosphere went completely silent!

The official explanation is that it represents speed, burning power, intense heat, and a journey towards the future.

Lin Shaobai's role as a mentor on this show can now come to an end.

I had to take time off from filming to teach them, which was quite tiring.

Huang Zitao stepped onto the stage again: "Everyone!!! You have completed the most glorious mission on this stage over the past three months. Regardless of success or failure, I only hope that you will continue to move forward bravely and always pursue the goal of becoming the strongest girl group in China!"

After the final night, Lin Shaobai and several other mentors were invited to a celebration banquet.

There were also many staff members from Produce Camp 101 and the eleven trainees who formed the group at the scene.

The reporter interviewed them specifically about their thoughts on the future.

Lin Shaobai thought that these limited-time groups only had a two-year lifespan.

After the group broke up, everyone had to rely on their own abilities.

Therefore, fans vote day and night to help their favorite idols debut.

No matter what place you get, as long as you debut, you'll get exposure!!

For most of the group members, the group's fame is definitely much, much greater than her individual fame.

Hopefully, they can all cherish their time as a limited-time group.

As the banquet was about to end, Yang Chaoyue suddenly called out to Lin Shaobai.

"Teacher Lin, I am very grateful for your help all this time. I remember every word you said."

"Every single sentence? Are you sure?"

Lin Shaobai asked with a smile.

Yang Chaoyue: "Uh... this is a..."

That's just an official statement, don't nitpick the details!

"In short, we are about to part ways, and I... I don't know what to say. In this program, I want to thank many people, my fans who support me, and my teachers who have helped me. They are all people I am particularly grateful to, but the person I am most grateful to is you."

Lin Shaobai listened attentively with his hands behind his back.

The hall was bustling with activity.

Everyone was celebrating the show's perfect ending with phenomenal ratings.

Lin Shaobai and Yang Chaoyue were chatting in a small corner.

He looked around and then approached Yang Chaoyue: "I think what you said is wrong."

Yang Chaoyue: "What's wrong with that? I'm telling the truth. To be honest, I used to think that celebrities were high and mighty, but now I don't think so. At least, at least I don't think you, Teacher Lin, are like that."

Lin Shaobai: "The person you should thank the most is yourself. It was you who decided to come in the first place, and it was you who persevered."

Yang Chaoyue blinked in confusion, then suddenly realized.

No one had ever said anything like that to her before.

Looking back, it's quite normal.

Before becoming a star, Yang Chaoyue worked as a waitress, a factory worker, an internet celebrity, a live streamer, and went through various job interviews.

After I started working, I never asked my family for money again.

Looking back on this journey, I should really thank myself.

Yang Chaoyue was moved to tears by Lin Shaobai's words, and two tears slid down her cheeks.

Just then, Ms. Ella walked over and hugged Yang Chaoyue, who was crying. "Hey, don't cry. These should be tears of joy."

Then he turned to Lin Shaobai and joked, "I won't allow you to bully girls."

Lin Shaobai: "...I didn't..."

Yang Chaoyue cried and laughed at the same time: "Teacher Ella, these really are tears of joy. Thank you."

Lin Shaobai watched as she and Teacher Ella embraced and cried, then silently left.

After leaving the noisy lobby, we got into a car and headed to the airport to catch our flight.

There is a rare tranquility.

There's also a strange sense of emptiness.

In the future, of this 11-member group, only Yang Chaoyue will do well, while the others will be forgotten.

Indeed, with a face like that, Yang Chaoyue was destined for greatness.

She's truly blessed.

……

……

……

Lin Shaobai arrived back at the hotel late at night by plane.

Then they discovered that Senior Sister Zhou Ye was actually reading a script by the bedside.

She wasn't on set for the entire filming process; she was only on set for about two weeks.

Zhou Ye smiled when he saw Lin Shaobai arrive: "You're back?"

Lin Shaobai: "Mm."

Zhou Ye: "I watched the live stream, and you looked so handsome the whole time. I don't know where you found your makeup artist, but they always manage to make you look so handsome."

After changing his clothes, Lin Shaobai lay down on the bed.

Because it was a live broadcast, Lin Shaobai was quite tired from being on edge all night.

Zhou Ye quickly put away the script and lay down next to Lin Shaobai.

She rested her face in her hand, still wearing a bright smile.

"Actually, I've never told you this, but I actually support... Yang Chaoyue on this show."

Lin Shaobai: "Huh???"

"I knew you were shocked... but I think she's pretty. She can't sing or dance well, but... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have a good impression of her. I even secretly voted for her."

Lin Shaobai reached out and touched Zhou Ye's face: "Just vote, why vote secretly? It's not like you did anything wrong."

"You're probably the only one who thinks that way."

"Support whomever you want."

Lin Shaobai got up and sat on the bed, reaching out to pinch Zhou Ye's cheek: "By the way, have you been in a better mood lately?"

Zhou Ye hadn't expected Lin Shaobai to ask her that, but after a moment she smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Yeah, much better. Thank you for your concern~"
