Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 112, Section 111: Didn't I already thank you that night? (4K)

Lin Shaobai took some time to return to the company's recording studio to record his new song "End of September".

When he returned to the company, all the staff greeted him respectfully.

"Hello, Teacher Lin."

"teacher LIN."

He's now the company's cash cow, and everyone greets him with smiles.

They arrived at the recording studio quickly.

"Is this song by Teacher Lin a gift for her fans?"

The staff member next to him looked at the lyrics of "Late September" and said.

"It's a gift for everyone."

"Emma."

"It's been a long time since I've released a song with lyrics and music written by myself."

The staff all admired Lin Shaobai.

She's always seamlessly moving between filming projects, shooting TV series and movies, then back to TV series, and also running around to various commercial events. How can she possibly find time to release songs?!
A time management guru?
That's right, Lin Shaobai was in a tight timeframe and needed to hurry in to record the song.

"Accompanied by a heavy rain at the end of September"

"The city has become deserted."

"Here, I'm learning to be quiet."

"With the deafening roar of the plane..."

"You just left me like that."

"Carry the memories I gave you"

"Recallable"

The song garnered significant interaction and popularity upon its release, becoming the number one hit song on major music platforms in September.

"Oh you"

Whenever I think of you

In this autumn wind

"At the end of September"

"Walking with you through all four seasons"

"Every time I ask again..."

"News about you"

What I'm thinking about

"It's you, you, you, you, you!"

……

It's a song with a strong romantic feel, and it's perfect as background music.

More than two hours later, Lin Shaobai packed up his things and left the company.

I met Yu Shuxin on the road, who was being criticized.

Agent Li is a very serious person with very high aspirations.

It's not appropriate to say anything about a money god like Lin Shaobai, but Yu Shuxin is a complete loser right now, so she should be criticized if necessary!
"Look at you, you're getting fatter and fatter every day and you still won't lose weight, your face is so big, do you think the audience can like someone like you?!"

"Go and see how small and thin the faces of those female celebrities on TV are. And you? Don't you even have this much self-discipline to become a big star?"

"Look at the dramas you've filmed."

"Each one flop is worse than the last, making absolutely no splash. Do you think this is any fun?"

"At least manage your image properly."

Yu Shuxin kept her head down and didn't dare to say a word.

She silently shed tears.

But her crying didn't make her agent feel sorry for her; instead, he said even harsher things!
Seeing this, Lin Shaobai wanted to go over, but was stopped by his assistant, Xiao Liu: "Boss, should we meddle in other people's business?"

"..."

Lin Shaobai glanced at his manager, who, coincidentally, also noticed him standing in the distance at that moment.

The two exchanged a glance, and their anger vanished instantly.

The agent concluded, "I hope you'll listen to what I'm saying and not ignore it. Lose some weight. Female celebrities' faces tend to be wider on camera. You know your face shape isn't flattering; even a little weight gain is very noticeable. It's a genetic flaw we can't change, but you can try your best to compensate. Lose weight!!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Yu Shuxin raised her head, trying her best not to let the tears fall.

Lin Shaobai walked over and said, "Til your head back at a 45-degree angle so that the tears don't fall."

Yu Shuxin: "Lin Shaobai?! You saw it?"

She felt ashamed to be criticized like that.

Lin Shaobai: "Hmm... I watched the whole thing."

"But am I really that bad?"

Yu Shuxin suddenly looked at Lin Shaobai and said.

"Yeah……"

"I think there's a TV series you could try."

Lin Shaobai changed the subject.

"TV series? What TV series?"

Yu Shuxin rallied her efforts once again.

"They originally cast a second female lead, but she suddenly dropped out. I think you could give it a try. The drama is called 'Find Yourself'."

"Isn't this a song?"

"It's a TV series, and the female lead is Song Xiaoqian."

"Teacher Song?"

However, Teacher Song became popular mainly because he used to be a girl group idol in Xiao Han.

That girl group is called f(x). When they first debuted, they were very popular because they were under the big company SM Entertainment.

However, due to various events, members successively left the group or even passed away...

Gradually, he stopped participating in group activities.

Their group's style and positioning are very creative; if they continue to develop, they might actually become very popular.

It can only be said that there are always regrets in life.

As the only Chinese member of the girl group, Song Xiaoqian naturally enjoys immense popularity after returning to China.

She has outstanding singing and dancing skills, but her acting skills seem somewhat lacking.

Her early period dramas set in the Republican era were particularly criticized, with various marketing accounts mocking her.

Therefore, "exaggerated acting" has become her label.

He later salvaged some of his fortunes through the TV series "The End of the Year" and the upcoming drama "Next Stop is Happiness".

This also proves to the public that she has indeed been learning acting skills and is not as exaggerated as before.

"Next Stop is Happiness??" Yu Shuxin had never heard of this TV series before and had no idea which unknown production team it was from.

"I suggest you try out for the second female lead, Cai Minmin. She's quirky and clever, which suits your personality."

"Teacher Lin, you are the first person to say that I am quirky and clever. Everyone else says that I am pretentious."

"Oh, ha, haha." Lin Shaobai chuckled dryly.

Yu Shuxin: "So you really think highly of this drama?"

Lin Shaobai is currently a top star, and he has a great eye for choosing scripts.

If it's the drama he mentioned, Yu Shuxin would definitely give it a try!

Some actors are good at acting but don't know how to choose scripts, while some actors are average at acting but are very good at choosing scripts.

They will try their best to ensure that none of their dramas are ridiculed or criticized by the public.

Lin Shaobai is now seen by the public as someone who is quite good at choosing scripts.

He not only knows how to choose scripts, but he also knows how to act. He won't choose bad dramas that would damage the reputation he has built up.

"I just think this role suits you well; maybe you need to find a role that suits you."

Yu Shuxin immediately put her hands together in prayer, as if she were praying to the God of Wealth.

The action was so sudden that Lin Shaobai didn't even have time to react. Yu Shuxin still clasped her hands together and bowed: "Thank you for comforting me. Actually, I tried out all the roles myself... Maybe I'm just not good at choosing scripts. I'll try again this time. In short, I will not give up on acting."

Yu Shuxin bowed to Lin Shaobai, then ran out of the company, saying, "Thank you so much, God of Wealth!"

Pray to the God of Wealth for good luck and abundant fortune!

Lin Shaobai was speechless: "..."

Why am I being so inexplicably childish?

Assistant Xiao Liu quickly ran over: "Boss, when did you become so close to her?"

"It's alright. Just average."

"You're not even close to her, yet you're trying to pull strings for her?"

Lin Shaobai: "I didn't pull any strings, I just mentioned a TV series."

Assistant Xiao Liu: "Oh... okay. But she has indeed been getting a lot of flak lately. Hmm."

Yu Shuxin's career took off after she came out of the talent show.

One hit variety show and two hit dramas have cemented her position as one of the top actresses born in the 1990s!

Zhao Lusi will still compete with her for that original position.

Both have at least two hit dramas, and their fans are very good at generating data, so it's really hard to tell who's number one and who's number two.

But now, I hope she gets well soon.

Moreover, this doesn't really count as finding connections; at most, it's just pointing her in a direction.

Since we're all colleagues in the same company, we can't make things too awkward.

Moreover, Yu Shuxin will become the top female player on the Hua side in the future.

After that, Lin Shaobai returned to the film crew to film.

When the weekend came, I returned to Beijing to participate in a business promotion offline.

That night, he returned to the villa with Zhang Jingyi and spent the night there.

Zhang Jingyi has recently been studying acting at the Dongsheng Future Company's academy.

There were actually 3000 people who went there to register with her at the beginning.

The competition is fierce.

Zhou Xun and Chen Kun would only select a few people from these thousands to sign contracts with their company.

They're not doing charity work; they can't possibly sign all the contracts.

We need to select some talented, hardworking, and good-looking people to sign as new actors.

The company will then allocate resources to make them big stars.

Zhang Jingyi studied there, and round after round of exams eliminated wave after wave of students.

Now, only 500 people remain.

Zhang Jingyi was still reading when she arrived at Lin Shaobai's villa.

Lin Shaobai lay on the bed and glanced at Zhang Jingyi after finishing his game.

The desk lamp was on, casting a dim yellow light on her face. The princess sat there upright, writing.

"Are you taking another exam soon? The one at your company?"

Zhang Jingyi said without looking up, "Yes. So besides school, I've also been busy with company exams lately. You've given me this rare opportunity, so I can't waste it. Especially since Sister Xun is in it, I really want to learn acting under her!"

"Oh..." Lin Shaobai put down his phone and crossed his arms behind his head: "So, do you think your opponent is strong?"

Zhang Jingyi stopped writing and looked up at the wall: "They're alright, they're pretty strong, but..."

After a moment, she smiled slightly and said confidently, "I, Zhang Jingyi, am not weak either. Besides, I don't think I will lose."

"Oh."

"I will successfully sign the contract and I will not let myself down. I also cannot let you down."

"How did it suddenly become so tragic? It was just a matter of a single sentence from me."

“To me, no matter how small the favor, it is still a favor.” Zhang Jingyi’s speech was still in the style of an old cadre.

His serious demeanor was actually quite endearing.

Lin Shaobai: "Alright then, since you said 'thank you,' how are you going to thank me?"

Zhang Jingyi's expression didn't change much: "That night wasn't it..."

"Huh?" Lin Shaobai didn't understand.

Zhang Jingyi paused halfway through her sentence, feeling quite shy at that moment.

She paused, then continued, "I mean, didn't I already thank you that night?"

"What? I don't understand."

"I won't repeat myself!"

Zhang Jingyi turned her head arrogantly, only to find that she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word in the book.

She's always nervous about these kinds of things.

She tensed her body and complied with Lin Shaobai's instructions.

She was genuinely happy to learn what Lin Shaobai had done that night.

The princess was reserved, unlike Zhou Ye's sunny and cheerful personality.

Zhou Ye's motto is: If I like you, I'll tell you.

If you have 100 points of love in your heart, expressing it will give you 120 points.

Zhang Jingyi means that I have 100 points of love for you in my heart, but due to various reasons, I can only express 60 points.

I actually love you far more in my heart than I show.

So it was quite a challenge for her to muster up the courage to take the initiative that night.

"That's considered a nice thing to say."

"..." Zhang Jingyi gripped her pen tightly, lowered her head to read, and tried her best to avoid eye contact with Lin Shaobai: "I can't explain it to you. In short, if you didn't feel it, then I'll ask you again, is there anything else I need to do?"

Lin Shaobai stood up and joked, "I'll be your slave."

"Huh???" Zhang Jingyi was full of questions, but she quickly calmed down.

"you……"

"Just kidding." Lin Shaobai laughed heartily, sitting on the edge of the bed and leaning over the princess's desk where she was studying.

Do you think that if I help you with something, I have to pay an equal price?

"I just don't like owing people favors, no matter whose it is. Shaobai, I know how good you've been to me. Thank you for your help too, I haven't forgotten, and I never will. All I can do now is be a good girlfriend."

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a second upon hearing this.

Zhang Jingyi frowned when she saw his strange expression: "What's wrong with you? Why do you seem to have suddenly crashed?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Shaobai chuckled twice. "I suddenly remembered something, uh, I got distracted. Let's continue."

Without much thought, Zhang Jingyi sighed, "Sometimes I feel quite lucky. Someone like me can actually be with you. You are the top star right now, the most promising young actor born in 1995, your future is bright and limitless. And everything about me is unknown."

Lin Shaobai propped his face up with his hand, clearly sleepy.

"So I've always been grateful to you. I know it's you who's always been helping me. Actually, I—"

"Princess."

Zhang Jingyi was interrupted by Lin Shaobai before she could finish speaking.

And it's with such a sensitive term.

Therefore, Zhang Jingyi blinked twice quickly.

"You...you...you called me princess again."

"You've never been this polite to me before, so why are you being so polite now?"

As Lin Shaobai spoke, he grabbed Zhang Jingyi's small hand.

"No matter what, I think these things should be said. The gratitude that needs to be expressed must be expressed. Keeping it inside will only lead to misunderstandings." Zhang Jingyi suddenly became serious.

"Alright, alright, you're right. It's getting late, shouldn't we go to sleep?"

Zhang Jingyi glanced at the alarm clock on her desk: "I really can't stay up late anymore. But I need to take a shower first."

"Want to take a shower? Oh~"

Zhang Jingyi blushed: "Why are you making such strange and suggestive noises? Nothing can shut you up."

"We should gag you," Lin Shaobai joked.
