Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 131, page 130: These are "pajamas" specially made for you (6K)

early morning
Lin Shaobai was still asleep.

Suddenly I felt incredibly heavy.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Zhou Ye's senior sister on top of him.

Lin Shaobai stole a glance.

It's probably because I just washed my face and brushed my teeth.

Her clean-cut face revealed her remarkably expressive features.

Both her facial features and her temperament give people a sense of dexterity.

Lin Shaobai has said more than once that her spirited face is perfect for playing little devils.

"I feel like a mountain is pressing down on me."

Lin Shaobai slowly opened his mouth and spoke.

If a comment were to appear at this moment, it would probably say something like, "Wait, bro, what's wrong? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Zhou Ye's lips twitched when he heard this.

She still couldn't quite believe that Lin Shaobai had said those words!

First of all, she has a naturally small frame, a small face and a small head, so she can't gain weight no matter how much she eats. How could she be as big as a mountain?

"Lin Shaobai, what did you say?"

"I said I felt like a mountain was pressing down on me."

Lin Shaobai kept his eyes closed.

Although he still secretly glanced at Zhou Ye during this time.

"Lin Shaobai! Say what you just said again."

"Oh, it's my senior sister! If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was some mountain... Wow."

As Lin Shaobai was speaking, Zhou Ye pinched the corner of his mouth with his hand and pulled it deeper and deeper.

"I misspoke. It should be that a beautiful woman is lying on top of me, not a mountain. No, you misheard me. That's exactly what I said."

In order to save his mouth from "life," Lin Shaobai decided to change his words on the spot.

Zhou Ye then let go, still lying on top of Lin Shaobai: "Do you know what the correct answer was in that situation just now?"

"what?"

Lin Shaobai closed his eyes again and rubbed his already flushed face.

"Correct answer one: You roll over while holding me, and then we'll have a morning battle."

"..."

Zhou Ye felt a little shy after seeing that Lin Shaobai didn't react.

His eyes darted around nervously, then he coughed twice, covering his mouth with his hand: "Ahem, alright, since you missed one, let's talk about two."

"What's two?"

"Secondly..."

Zhou Ye slowly got up and sat on Lin Shaobai's lap. He crossed his arms and looked down at Lin Shaobai.

"Second is... guess what?"

Lin Shaobai: "..."

I'm just a kid, I can guess!

No, no, we've gone off-topic.

"Secondly, you should say, 'How come there's such a cute person lying on me?'"

"That's a strange statement."

"Strange? What's strange about it? Am I not cute?"

Zhou Ye pouted and slowly moved closer to Lin Shaobai's face.

Extremely dissatisfied.

"So cute, so very cute. It would be even cuter if you could kiss me again."

"You're dreaming. I'm as heavy as a mountain, and you expect me to kiss you? Do you think that's reasonable?"

Zhou Ye responded with a smile.

Lin Shaobai: "You're wrong, Senior Sister. You didn't fully understand that sentence. You need to see through the phenomena to the essence. Isn't that something you always say?"

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, what I meant was that you are as important as a mountain in my heart. Your weight is as heavy as a mountain, not your weight. Don't you think you're overthinking it?"

"..."

Zhou Ye was amazed that someone could even come up with such a convincing explanation.

He actually managed to smooth things over.

As expected of Kobayashi.

Kobayashi is a smooth-talking, glib-tongued man.

However, Lin Shaobai's public image has never been like this; he is portrayed as a gentle, gentlemanly, well-mannered person with a touch of humor.

This kind of persona is very appealing to fans.

Moreover, his ability to play musical instruments with ease is truly captivating to many women.

This also includes Zhou Ye.

"Xiao Lin, you still know how to talk. Please praise me. Praising me every morning will make me feel much better."

Lin Shaobai smiled helplessly, then got out of bed.

Because it happened so suddenly, I almost kissed Zhou Ye's little face.

Zhou Ye shyly shrank back instinctively, only to be pulled into Lin Shaobai's arms.

"Senior sister, you're so beautiful just from washing your face, tsk tsk tsk, it's easy to make mistakes."

"What the hell?"

Zhou Ye felt secretly pleased as he listened.

She pretended to push Lin Shaobai away, then snuggled tightly into his arms.

So happy, so warm.

This is what Zhou Ye is thinking at this moment.

A moment later, Lin Shaobai got up and picked up Zhou Ye, placing him on the ground.

Zhou Ye: "I feel like you're getting stronger and stronger, and your arms seem to be getting bigger too. You've been lifting weights really hard lately."

Lin Shaobai stopped: "Yeah, the company said I need to maintain my figure."

Zhou Ye: "Oh...right. By the way, are you going to ask for leave again in a few days?"

"Yes. I need to go back to the company to discuss the Spring Festival Gala."

"You've been invited again?"

"Ah."

"Oh……"

Zhou Ye felt a deep envy for Lin Shaobai.

Go on the Spring Festival Gala.

It would be so great to be able to perform a show and show my face on the Spring Festival Gala, which is watched by people all over the country.

Zhou Ye understood that she wasn't a popular celebrity, nor was she a singer who could actually sing.

Moreover, he can't perform sketches and has no comedic talent, so what qualifications does he have to go up there?

Nowadays, when the Spring Festival Gala invites entertainment stars, they either sing or play roles in various skits.

It's obvious that she doesn't fit either of those criteria.

Do you think... I'll be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala someday?

Zhou Ye suddenly spoke.

Lin Shaobai was brushing his teeth at the moment. After hearing this, he turned around and nodded.

Zhou Ye: "Really? You really think so? Don't you think I'm just daydreaming?"

Lin Shaobai spat out the foam in his mouth: "Everyone needs to have dreams, and I believe you will. Become a big star, and you'll gradually rise to the top."

Zhou Ye leaned against the wall next to him again.

"I've noticed something. From the very first time we met, you were absolutely convinced I could become a big star. No one else besides you seemed to think I could be a really famous star. Are you biased?

"There might be some filters involved, but I was also telling the truth."

Lin Shaobai smiled slightly.

Zhou Ye was deeply moved by Lin Shaobai's appearance.

People do need encouragement and care to grow, not constant suppression.

She slowly walked over and hugged Lin Shaobai, who was brushing his teeth.

"I think I really like you."

She said slowly.

Lin Shaobai didn't say anything and continued brushing his teeth.

After a moment, she put the toothpaste and toothbrush back in their original places and replied, "Me too. I like you very much too."

Zhou Ye was overjoyed.

"Alright, senior sister, I need to go to the toilet. What, senior sister, do you want to watch me go to the toilet?"

"Could you... could you let me enjoy this blissful time a little longer?!"

……

A few days later, Lin Shaobai asked the crew for leave.

The first thing is to do commercial work, and the second is to discuss the Spring Festival Gala with people in the company.

He will be performing a program called "Youth Leaps Up" with Teacher Zhu at this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell this show is going to jump around.

The staff told Lin Shaobai that he needed to spin a basketball with his fingers during the performance, while Teacher Zhu needed to perform a dunk.

Therefore, they even had Lin Shaobai practice in advance, thinking that he should be ready by the time the Spring Festival Gala is over.

Little did anyone know that Lin Shaobai would perform a basketball spinning on one finger right there on the spot.

"Wow, Teacher Lin, I didn't know you had this skill."

"My hobby is singing and dancing... cough cough, I mean, I usually like playing basketball, so it's a very simple thing."

After about two hours of communication, the relevant staff member left the company.

Agent Sister Li came to Lin Shaobai's side.

"I heard you found the female lead for your next drama yourself, right? Highly recommend it?"

"Ah, yes."

"Are you still looking for Tian Xiwei?"

"Yes."

"Logically speaking, a production team like 'Qingqing's Daily Life' shouldn't be giving her the lead role. You know that, right? To be the lead in an ensemble drama like this, you need at least one representative work. What does she have?"

Agent Li is still the same; she doesn't care about anyone's feelings at all.

Lin Shaobai: "It's not that bad. She's an artist from the same company, after all."

Seeing that Lin Shaobai was defending Tian Xiwei's agent, he didn't say anything more.

"Okay, you can give her that relationship, that's your idea and I support it."

The reason is that we have no choice but to support it.

If you can support the God of Wealth's words, then support him.

"But you should at least think about whether she's really suitable. Choosing the female lead for yourself... If she doesn't act well, she'll drag you down! She'll drag everyone down. You're the lead in this drama, and if you don't act well, many people will blame you for not being able to carry the show."

If the actors playing opposite you are not chosen well, it will affect everyone's mood when watching the show.

The drama that Liu Yuning filmed with Liu Shishi was rejected by many viewers because the male lead was considered too ugly.

As a result, the two sides' fans argue every day about this.

Everyone says the male lead looks like a rat, and when the two are in the same frame, people can't help but crop the male lead out.

They say the female lead's injury was work-related, yet she still had to act with a face like that.

Later, Rose also chose him to be the male lead in her new drama.

At that time, it was competing against "Eternal Night Galaxy".

Many people abandoned the show featuring Rose because the male lead of another TV series was more handsome.

The same applies to "Jade Bone Distant".

Because the male and female leads look so mismatched, many people are unwilling to watch it.

Even many of the male lead's fans are unwilling to watch it, which shows how serious the situation is.

CP feeling!
The chemistry between the two is the most important thing, you know!
"She's a newcomer. Have you thought this through?"

"Sister Li, it's already been decided, what's the point of saying these things now?"

"..."

“Even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe the director. They conducted several rounds of interviews with Tian Xiwei before deciding to cast her as Li Wei, the female lead in ‘Qingqing’s Daily Life.’ If you look closely at the script, you’ll find that she’s actually quite a good fit for the character.”

"You...you wouldn't..."

The agent's hesitant tone and gossipy gaze made Lin Shaobai feel very uncomfortable.

"Guessing this and that won't do you any good, Sister Li."

"I'm your agent, can't I at least learn more about you?"

After saying that, Sister Li sighed again, sounding annoyed: "No matter what, be careful not to get photographed. And if you do get photographed and it gets posted on Weibo and causes a stir, don't give any random responses."

"I know everything."

"Okay." Sister Li placed a large bag of gift boxes in front of Lin Shaobai: "These are gifts I bought for you during my previous trip."

Lin Shaobai: "It's rare for you to be so generous. This isn't like you at all."

Sister Li gritted her teeth: "Fine, you're right. Take it, God of Wealth."

Lin Shaobai then went to record his new song "Mohe Dance Hall," which will be released in December.

This song became a viral hit on short video platforms at the time.

It has been viewed over 6.8 million times in just two days!

It has extremely high influence and popularity.

This song even made a city famous, and the cold border town ushered in a cultural and tourism boom.

The Mohe Dance Hall has become a popular tourist attraction in the area.

You can take a picture of the sign outside, but if you want to go inside, you have to pay 20 yuan.

It's said that it was free before, but started charging after the song became popular.

"I've never seen a village where the aurora borealis appears, nor have I ever seen anyone set off fireworks in the middle of the night. The evening stars are like your eyes, killing and setting fires. You said nothing, but the night wind disturbed me..."

……

……

……

After recording the song, Lin Shaobai took advantage of the weekend to go home.

A few days ago, the TV series "Ashes of Love" starring him won another award.

It won the 2018 EntGroup Data Most Valuable Drama Series award.

This show became a huge hit, winning numerous awards, both big and small.

Lin Shaobai himself couldn't even name some of the lesser-known awards.

Currently, the biggest boost for Lin Shaobai is the Huading Award for Best Actor in a Chinese Costume Drama.

If he keeps this up, good movie scripts will be available for him to choose from.

This weekend evening, Lin Shaobai planned to get a good night's sleep and rest.

He had taken a walk around the house before that.

Even though I haven't been back for a long time, the house is so clean.

Only he and Zhang Jingyi knew the password to this villa, and it seemed that the princess had cleaned it specially.

I cleaned it from head to toe...

Zhang Jingyi had just finished taking a shower.

She walked over mysteriously, her hands behind her back.

But she didn't get into bed; she just stood quietly by the bed.

Not a word was said.

too frightening.

This kind of plot has only been seen in horror and suspense movies.

Lin Shaobai hadn't been sleeping much to begin with, but he couldn't help but laugh later.

"Why are you standing next to me without saying anything? This is kind of scary."

"That's scary. Do you think I'm hiding a knife behind my back?"

"A knife?? That's even scarier, okay?"

Zhang Jingyi remained standing in the same spot, her hands still behind her back.

Most importantly, her face was expressionless; the gentle and reserved charm she used to possess was completely gone.

Lin Shaobai immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Could it be that the girl really has a knife behind her?!

"Hey you……"

"give you."

Just as Lin Shaobai was about to get up, Zhang Jingyi placed the camera she had been hiding behind her back into his arms.

"Ok?"

Lin Shaobai stared blankly at the camera placed on the quilt for a moment.

"This……"

He picked it up and looked at it from side to side, then looked at the princess with some disbelief.

Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly: "What's wrong? Did you really think I was hiding a knife behind my back? Shaobai."

Lin Shaobai: "Your expression just now was really gloomy."

"I did it on purpose to scare you, didn't I? My acting was pretty good, wasn't it?"

As she spoke, she bent down slightly to get closer to Lin Shaobai.

Then, slowly and quietly, she kissed Lin Shaobai's cheek.

This is in line with her mild-mannered nature.

Lin Shaobai: "So that was all acting. That was scary enough. Okay, your acting is good. I approve!"

"That's right. I forgot to tell you, there are only about 20 members left in that school. The list of signatures will be released next month."

"I think you'll definitely get a contract."

"You trust me that much?"

"Of course."

"Okay, let's not talk about that now. Um, do you like this camera?"

Zhang Jingyi is someone who loves to travel and take photos.

I also know a little about this.

I've been struggling to decide what gift to give Lin Shaobai.
What kind of gift would someone like?

Later we decided to give them a camera.

Lin Shaobai: "This is the gift you gave me."

“That’s right. I…” Zhang Jingyi sat on the edge of the bed, very close to Lin Shaobai: “I wanted to give you this camera. Actually… yes, that’s it.”

Lin Shaobai reached out and touched her face: "I saw all the photos on your WeChat Moments. Did you have fun before?"

Zhang Jingyi: "I'm quite happy."

Lin Shaobai: "Thank you, Jingyi. You're such a kind person. I wish you a peaceful and happy life."

Zhang Jingyi's lips twitched.

Sure enough, Lin Shaobai couldn't have a proper conversation with someone for a long time.

"Ugh, I knew it. Are you trying to give me the 'friend zone' treatment?"

Just kidding.

"I didn't give you this gift so you would thank me in any special way. May good people have a peaceful life... I thank you, but it feels a bit too formal for us."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but laugh even after saying it herself, but she quickly regained her composure.

"You've actually helped me a lot more. All I've given you is a camera to express my gratitude."

"Oh……"

Lin Shaobai deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and at the crucial moment, he swept the princess into his arms.

"ah!"

Zhang Jingyi was visibly startled.

She quickly nestled into Lin Shaobai's arms, soft and delicate.

She blinked her big eyes, looking somewhat lost.

Lin Shaobai: "Thank you."

"it's okay no problem……"

Zhang Jingyi was a little shy and put her arms around Lin Shaobai's waist.

"Shaobai, I... I like you, I only like you. I think it's normal to buy gifts for someone you like. The other day I went to the mountain and came across a temple, so I went there and made a wish."

"Ah."

Lin Shaobai put his arm around the princess, and after a while, their heads touched, and he closed his eyes to listen quietly to her story.

Do you know what I wished for?

"do not know."

"At least try to guess."

"We want you to sign a contract?"

"I don't think there's any need to make a wish, because it's already a done deal."

Zhang Jingyi is exceptionally confident.

She usually looks soft and gentle, like someone who's easy to bully.

But whenever she's studying or acting, she exudes that confident, studious smile that's typical of a top student.

"Oh?"

"Don't give me that 'oh'. I'm serious, I should... be the company I can sign with. I personally think my abilities are pretty good. No, that's not the point. Guess what I wished for?"

"Wishing you good health and great wealth?"

Zhang Jingyi laughed in annoyance upon hearing this.

"As expected, as soon as you hear the word 'make a wish,' I can guess that's what you'll wish for. I made a wish like this a long time ago, but this time it's mainly for you."

"for me?"

Lin Shaobai was somewhat stunned, quietly looking at Zhang Jingyi's face.

Zhang Jingyi stared quietly into his eyes and said gently, "I hope you can get better and better, live the life you want, and reach new heights in your career."

Zhang Jingyi had never thought before that she could make a wish for someone other than her family.

I used to wish that I could get into a good university and get good grades.

As I grew older, I started to think that I hoped my family members would be healthy and safe; everything else was trivial except for life and death.

Everything changed after she met Lin Shaobai, fell in love with him, and became his girlfriend.

This small chamber of the heart will also make room for someone who has never met in the first half of life.

When I made a wish, I knew perfectly well that I had someone else I cared about.

Zhang Jingyi knew in her heart that she was growing to like Lin Shaobai more and more.

Lin Shaobai would help her out when she was short of money during their previous trips.

However, Zhang Jingyi doesn't like owing favors to others.

After her mother gave her pocket money, she quickly returned the money Lin Shaobai had given her.

Lin Shaobai is indeed a super popular top star, but Zhang Jingyi, as a student, was too embarrassed to use his money.

The future is uncertain, but Zhang Jingyi, who is currently a respectable retired cadre and has not officially entered the entertainment industry, is certainly not used to it.

I hope you get better and better.

Zhang Jingyi turned to look at Lin Shaobai as he repeated those eight words, her eyes filled with tenderness that was captivating.

Lin Shaobai felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing these words.

But then, as if remembering something, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Thanks……"

The words that were on the tip of my tongue could only be uttered in these two syllables.

He didn't say anything else.

Zhang Jingyi reached out and touched Lin Shaobai's face: "Actually, I've thought you're very handsome for a long time now, and I probably will think so for a long time to come."

Lin Shaobai made no move and let the princess touch her face.

After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes and stared into the princess's clear eyes.

I'm so lucky to have met you.

"...Why are you suddenly talking so much today? You never used to say these things, nor would you bring them up on your own initiative."

"This...you're talking nonsense, aren't you? How could I have never said those things on my own initiative?"

"He talks little."

"Yes, I haven't said much, but that doesn't mean I haven't said anything. If you think I haven't said enough, I can say more later."

Zhang Jingyi threw herself into Lin Shaobai's arms again: "Shaobai..."

Her voice suddenly became soft and sweet, as if she were pleading when she said the name.

"I want to sleep, can you help me?"

"What do you mean? I don't understand. Princess, please explain in more detail."

Lin Shaobai said deliberately.

Despite her shyness, Zhang Jingyi managed to say those words and was then teased by the other person.

She closed her eyes slightly, her brows twitching, but she didn't utter a single word.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding."

Lin Shaobai decisively rolled over and pinned Zhang Jingyi beneath him.

No matter how many times, the princess remained as serious as ever.

……

"Hey? Why are you wearing that..."

"You know it, there's no need to say it out loud."
