Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 106, page 105: Zhou Ye's film wraps up, but he suffers an unexpected back injury.
In the following days, Lin Shaobai continued to go to the film set to film.

Zhou Ye's scenes are almost finished filming, and the shoot is about to wrap up.

One of Zhou Ye's scenes that day involved him rolling down a staircase.

The stairs were very steep. After the director and crew finished looking at them, they approached Zhou Ye and said, "If all else fails, we'll have to use a stunt double. These steps are very steep."

"No need, director," Zhou Ye declined with a smile. "I can handle this level of difficulty. I'll do it myself."

Director: "Really?"

Zhou Ye: "I'm an actor. If I have to use a stunt double for this little bit of difficulty, how am I supposed to act in the future?"

The surrounding staff all looked at the director, who, seeing Zhou Ye's obsession, had no choice but to agree to let her give it a try.

So, several staff members set up cushions next to the green screen to shield Zhou Ye.

Before filming even began, Zhou Ye repeatedly filmed scenes of falling down the stairs on this mat.

When Lin Shaobai arrived at the film set, he found Zhou Ye practicing backflips over and over again.

Everything was done to make the movie more effective.

Lin Shaobai stood at a distance without saying much, genuinely feeling sorry for his senior sister.

After a long time, once everything was ready on set, Zhou Ye changed his clothes and followed Zhou Dongyu to the filming location.

The backstory for this scene is that Wei Lai, played by Zhou Ye, begs Chen Nian, played by Zhou Dongyu, not to call the police, saying that everything is negotiable as long as she doesn't. She also points out that the video she filmed earlier was in the wrong.

Zhou Dongyu shaved his head a few days ago.

In the storyline, the female protagonist she plays is bullied by her classmates and thugs in the community; her hair is cut off and her clothes are torn.

Because the patches of hair were particularly unsightly, I shaved my head off.

They were actually shaving heads on site.

Lin Shaobai, the male protagonist in the story, also shaved his head and now has a buzz cut.

It doesn't really matter.

Anyway, Lin Shaobai's features are good enough, and this buzz cut actually makes him look even more handsome.

The director said that the scene of shaving the head should ideally be done in one take, or rather, it must be done in one take.

Lin Shaobai performed very well at the time, and did not hesitate at all about shaving his head after filming began.

Once everything was ready on set, the director yelled "Action!"

Wearing a white baseball cap, Zhou Ye grabbed Zhou Dongyu, whose eyes were wide open, filled with longing and panic.

"I've deleted the video too. I have ways to make them obey."

Zhou Ye quickly took out his phone to prove that he was telling the truth: "Look."

Zhou Dongyu was not moved by her words; the damage she had caused was real.

"what do you want?"

She uttered those five words calmly and coldly.

Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Zhou Dongyu's hand: "I beg you not to call the police. How much money do you want? I'll give you any amount you want. Tell me, tell me."

Every word she speaks now, every pause, carries an extreme sense of humility.

After all, right now, they'd do anything to beg the female lead not to call the police.

Seeing that Zhou Dongyu still had that indifferent expression, Zhou Ye took off his hat and started unbuttoning his clothes: "If all else fails, I can let you take my picture."

That's when her voice started to crack.

Zhou Dongyu reached out and patted her as she was about to take off her clothes.

"Hit me! Hit me! Hit me, curse me, you're welcome!"

Zhou Ye was devastated and immediately knelt on the ground, begging Zhou Dongyu: "I really can't repeat a year anymore. My dad hasn't spoken to me for almost a year because of this."

Lin Shaobai stood behind the camera watching this scene.

In fact, Wei Lai felt no remorse at all under these circumstances.

It's all an act; she's just afraid of her dad.

Fortunately, the female lead, Chen Nian, is a relatively calm person.

I was not misled by these words.

Zhou Dongyu looked at Zhou Ye expressionlessly, and after a few seconds said, "I don't want to hear it."

Zhou Ye knelt on the ground, crying and pleading, "You don't have to forgive me. Just don't call the police. Everyone has gone too far. Please, Chen Nian, I'm sorry." "Name your terms. I'll agree to anything you ask. Please, I really can't repeat a year."

Zhou Dongyu remained expressionless: "I never want to see you again in my life."

"I understand. I understand." Zhou Ye nodded quickly.

"Great card!!!"

The director was very satisfied with the two actors' performances.

Lin Shaobai was quite satisfied with this one. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his senior sister Zhou Ye's acting skills had improved a lot recently.

The audience was quite engrossed in the story, and the acting wasn't awkward at all.

In fact, many people have been criticizing her acting for being too exaggerated, but they are only focusing on that one particular drama.

It's said that the show seems to be designed with this kind of exaggerated character setup.

Marketing accounts have been criticizing her based on that drama, which has led to the public having the impression that Zhou Ye is a bad actress.

Actually, her acting skills are not bad.

Wei Lai and Cheng Shuang both played their roles very well, and they became representative roles in her life.

An actor is lucky to have one representative role in their lifetime.

Good scripts, good teams, and good people are all rare finds.

After passing this point, we arrive at the scene where Zhou Ye had been worried about falling down the stairs.

After they agreed not to call the police and never to see each other again, Wei Lai went up to the female lead, Chen Nian, and talked to her about many things.

For example, he asked her where she wanted to go to university, and said that the two of them could have become good friends. He also asked if she wanted some money, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease.

Most importantly, he said, "You don't have to be chased for debts by your mother like that anymore."

This hit the female lead hard.

In a fit of anger, the female lead pushed Wei Lai down the stairs.

Zhou Ye actually fell in this scene.

To achieve the best effect, he did backflips again and again, even actually hitting his head on the steps.

It was eventually tallied that Zhou Ye fell more than 20 times in total.

Zhou Ye felt dizzy after smashing the cement floor several times.

The director chose the best take and let it pass.

Today marks the official wrap-up of Zhou Ye's filming!

The staff bought her a small cake, and Lin Shaobai specially bought her a bouquet of flowers.

And he delivered it to her personally.

"Happy filming!"

Lin Shaobai said to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye smiled sweetly: "Yes. Thank you."

However, after that sweet smile, the corner of her mouth quickly twitched.

He insisted on performing backflips repeatedly without a stunt double, resulting in a permanent back injury.

Zhou Ye then left the film crew.

I need to take good care of my injury during the upcoming holiday.

That's not a big deal.

Zhou Ye has a very positive attitude and is optimistic. She should recover after some rest.

Lin Shaobai will continue filming.

By the end of June, he received an invitation from the production team of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

It was simply an invitation for him and singer Zhou Shen to perform the theme song "Plum Blossom Fragrance Remains" for a TV series.

This song requires two people to sing a duet.

The director really liked Lin Shaobai's voice, so he made a special trip to invite him.
