Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 134, Section 133. Wang Churan: Shao Bai, I want to make a movie (6K)

They then conducted a second round of evidence gathering.

Lin Shaobai went from initial excitement to feeling a bit tired. Sure enough, recording an episode of this kind of intellectual reasoning game was both mentally and physically exhausting.

After the second round of evidence collection, there was one-on-one questioning by the detectives, followed by a group discussion.

In the end, everyone deduced that the murderer was Number Two, but no one knew who Number Two was.

This is indeed a tricky question. Time is ticking away, and it's time to vote.

After Lin Shaobai went inside, he began to wander around the room.

At the same time, you also need to explain your reasoning.

"Actually, I think he should have known his identity in the first round. He remembered who he was through some clues, especially the matter of the medicine. So he should have started thinking about replacing his identity with a less dangerous one, constantly blurring everyone's impression of him. So I think... Zhen Bai... is the most likely candidate."

The group then entered the room one by one to vote.

After voting for the corresponding boxes, the six players gathered together again.

Na Jie stood in the middle and continued to liven up the atmosphere.

"I feel that this role is a bit too simple and doesn't really showcase my acting skills. Actually, I also designed some scenes involving family reunions or outbursts. I did a lot of research."

Teacher He looked at her with a smile: "Then you can act it out now. For example, Bai Bai is your younger brother."

It's well-known that He Jiong and Na Ying have a very good relationship.

Bai Jingting originally intended to be a background figure, watching the two of them laugh and joke, purely a bystander who didn't expect to suddenly be questioned.

Sister Na stared longingly at Bai Jingting, and the smile on Bai Jingting's lips instantly froze.

what?
What?
Then, the woman immediately grabbed Bai Jingting's clothes: "Little brother!!"

Lin Shaobai smiled helplessly.

Sister Na quickly turned around and grabbed Zhang Ruoyun's arm: "Brother!"

Zhang Ruoyun's smile really does resemble that of a husky.

Her eyes were already small, and they disappeared even more when she smiled.

"Then, sister, how come you're calling each other 'brother' and 'younger brother'?"

Finally, Sister Na lunged at Detective Lin Shaobai, who was standing on the far right watching the show.

I thought he was going to say the name of another relative, but instead he said, "His eldest uncle!"

puff.

Lin Shaobai almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

After a period of playful banter, the production team began to announce the final results.

In the 11th case of "Who's the Murderer Season 4," the "Top Player: Plastic Friends," who is the "murderer" who "killed" Zhen Piaoliang?

[First, let's reveal the safe players who received zero votes.]

Upon hearing this, Teacher He pulled Sister Na's hand, and the two walked forward together.

The woman suddenly panicked: "Hey, why are you pulling me?"

Teacher He: "We definitely got zero votes, there's absolutely no suspicion of us committing any crime."

Sister Na: "Oh, I thought I was the murderer. I was wondering how I didn't know? It scared me to death."

"Ha ha ha ha"

[Zhen Na received zero votes. Congratulations.]

[Zhen He, congratulations.]

[Congratulations to the two players; their suspicion has been temporarily cleared.]

Among the remaining three players—Zhen Sa, Zhen Zhang, and Zhen Bai—who received the most votes?

Upon hearing this, Lin Shaobai remarked, "Actually, I think the names Zhen Sa and Zhen Zhang are a bit difficult to pronounce."

Zhang Ruoyun immediately understood his point.

"Indeed. Zhen Zang and Zhen Sha. If you can't distinguish between the front and back nasal sounds, it'll be a joke."

Lin Shaobai: "Only Zhen Bai seems like an acceptable name."

Please take a step forward, all three of you.

[One player received the most votes, and that player is... Zhen Bai!]

Please put Zhen Bai in a cage.

Lin Shaobai quickly approached the others and heard the announcement from above continue.

The moment of truth is about to be revealed.

[I now announce that the players' reports have been successful!]

"Oh yeah!"

Na Jie was the first to clench her fists, and Zhang Ruoyun and Xiao Sa clapped together.

Lin Shaobai went over to the cage and looked at Bai Jingting.

"Actually, I don't think this character is fun."

“Yes, it’s not fun. It’s very difficult. I don’t know anything. All I know is that this person could be me. Because that suspicious handkerchief was in my pocket at first.” Bai Jingting echoed Lin Shaobai’s words.

Lin Shaobai: "To seize someone else's identity first, I think that's pretty high-level."

"When did you leave that handkerchief at the scene?"

"Just secretly."

Lin Shaobai nodded.

These celebrity reality detective shows are great for testing people's intelligence.

This show has indeed attracted a group of highly intelligent fans.

Sister Na: "If I were playing and suddenly a handkerchief appeared in my pocket, or if I were playing and suddenly a bottle of medicine appeared, wow, I would really go crazy!"

Lin Shaobai suddenly stretched out his hand: "Come on, friends, let's share the joy of victory."

He began distributing gold bars to the successful voters one by one.

Today's filming is finished, but we'll film another episode next week.

The following day, the China Wildlife Rescue Association officially announced that Lin Shaobai had become the China Wildlife Rescue Goodwill Ambassador.

This official announcement on Weibo even trended on social media among fans.

Join Lin Shaobai in doing charity work!

Join Lin Shaobai in protecting wild animals!

Protecting wild animals is something that everyone should do.

Join Lin Shaobai in protecting wild flora and fauna!

Fans were promoting Lin Shaobai and generating data in the comments, hoping to improve his public image.

Of course, at present, Lin Shaobai has no problem with public image.

He has a pretty good image in everyone's eyes.

There were no strange or annoying news reports.

More importantly, he's still quite handsome, his acting is decent, and he's humorous on variety shows.

There's really nothing particularly offensive about it.

Unless there are those hard-line black people, there's no way to control it.

Lin Shaobai then recorded a related public service announcement video.

"Let your travels leave only beautiful memories and no regrets, and let's protect wildlife together..."

Chen Duling accidentally stumbled upon his promotional video.

In Dudu's mind, Lin Shaobai really enjoys doing these kinds of activities.

Actually, I had developed different feelings for Lin Shaobai a long time ago.

However, due to her personality, she wouldn't bring it up herself.

Besides, Chen Duling herself felt that she was not good enough for Lin Shaobai; she was nothing.

There should at least be a few hit dramas.

As Chen Duling was looking through Lin Shaobai's messages, her assistant came over.

"Oh dear! Sister Dudu."

"..."

Upon hearing the noise, Chen Duling quickly put her phone away, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Sister Dudu is a fan of celebrities too, she's a fan of Lin Shaobai."

"No."

Chen Duling lowered her head shyly, then smiled gently and elegantly again.

"I just stumbled upon this by chance. Lin Shaobai is very powerful now, and this is the only way I can see him."

"Oh... Boss, you seem a bit insecure. Could it be because of all the harsh criticism online? Are you starting to doubt yourself? Please don't think like that!"

"No. I've been much better since I came back from the mountains, because I've come to understand that being misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves, so it doesn't matter."

Chen Duling smiled gently.

……

A few days later, Lin Shaobai went to attend the GQ Men of the Year Awards.

This is a comprehensive award presented by the fashion magazine GQ, featuring a total of 18 awards.

GQ's annual gala attracts widespread attention and has become an indispensable fashion trend in the evolution of the times.

That night was a gathering of heroes and stars.

Lin Shaobai shot for the September anniversary issue in 2018, so it's only natural that he was invited to come.

Guests attending that evening included Bai Yu, Liao Fan, Zhao Youting, Yang Tianbao, Cai Kunkun, Tia, Nie Yuan...

There are also some big names in the fashion industry left.

The person he's somewhat familiar with here is Cai Kunkun, a student he mentored.

I always run into Cai Kunkun at these kinds of events.

At this time, Cai Kunkun was quite popular because of his appearance on "Idol Producer". Whenever he came to such occasions, he would take the initiative to greet Lin Shaobai.

The red carpet for the awards ceremony was 18 meters long, and the banquet was a traditional Western-style dinner, equipped with 2000 plates and 2500 wine glasses, 40 chefs, and 180 pickle servers on standby.

As Dior's brand ambassador, Lin Shaobai would naturally not wear a down jacket on such an occasion; he must play a role in promoting the brand.

The reason he was able to land the business without a trial period was because his appearance and image were a perfect match for Dior.

Who wouldn't say he looks like a noble young man in that suit?

Lin Shaobai walked to the center of the red carpet and waved to everyone in the photo area.

"Teacher Lin, look over here, Teacher Lin!"

"Look over here, look over here, give me a smile!"

Lin Shaobai's popularity has been undeniable since last year.

Wherever they went, they were met with thunderous cheers.

"Hey, let me tell you, my best friend really likes Lin Shaobai."

Even as an editor within the magazine, seeing Lin Shaobai's face made me want to start talking to other people.

"Really, oh my god, me too! My little sister is a huge fan of Lin Shaobai, and she asked if she could get his contact information this time?"

"Do you think we can get that? What do they take us for?"

"I knew it! Did they really think we could get any celebrity's contact information? We just happen to be close to celebrities. This top star should be pretty cautious in everything he does, right?"

"Maybe. But he was just so handsome back then."

"He is really good-looking, has excellent professional skills, sings and dances well, and acts well. I don't know what his shortcomings are."

"Maybe she's a bit of a flirt in private."

"You can't say things like that, you're spreading rumors."

"I'm guessing. With someone as handsome as him, how could he not be a womanizer?"

"Shut up, this is something only the two of us should talk about."

After taking photos on the red carpet, Lin Shaobai went inside and found his seat.

Bai Yu is right next to him, currently lost in thought.

He wasn't famous in his early years, but later gained fame with the classic drama "Guardian". After that, he starred in the family drama "The Bond" and the suspense drama "The Silent Truth".

These are all his representative works, and it is through these roles that he gradually won the hearts of the audience.

The furthest part is made of both ears.

After the release of the historical drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" this year, he became popular again with his role as a "big pig trotter".

"Big pig's trotters" became a new buzzword in 2018.

There are even users who have added dolls to their collections.

Lin Shaobai and this Brother Bai didn't talk much, and the two of them sat together in a rather awkward atmosphere.

A short while later, Cai Kunkun came over and sat down next to Lin Shaobai.

"Hello, Teacher Lin." Cai Kunkun greeted Lin Shaobai very respectfully.

Bai Yu, who had been lost in thought, was taken aback by this situation and blinked rapidly.

He thought, isn't Lin Shaobai younger than Cai Kunkun?
Why does something feel off at this moment?

Bai Yu didn't know much about the variety show "Idol Producer".

He doesn't watch variety shows much, so he simply can't understand why these two people have this kind of relationship.

Cai Kunkun: "Teacher Lin, what have you been up to lately?"

"Filming. Also, I recorded a new song recently, and I'm preparing to release it soon."

"Oh, I see. Actually, I've always loved listening to your songs, teacher. I've been quite anxious since you haven't released any new songs."

Cai Kunkun smiled.

"You're supposed to be performing your new song tonight, right?"

"Yes. It will officially launch on all major platforms tomorrow."

Kun Kun hesitated for a moment when he said this, and you could tell that he was quite conflicted.

"I have a request, I don't know if Teacher Lin... it's just a small request."

"What?"

Lin Shaobai turned his gaze to the platform in the distance and found that most of the invited guests had already taken their seats.

Cai Kunkun took a deep breath and leaned closer to Lin Shaobai, saying, "Could you do me a favor?"

Lin Shaobai remained calm.

"Then say it! How am I supposed to know what you're trying to help if you don't say anything for so long?"

"Oh, cough cough. I'm just a little nervous asking for a favor. Especially since it's Teacher Lin, I'm even more nervous."

Cai Kunkun has always regarded Lin Shaobai as his idol ever since he entered the show "Idol Producer".

Now that he's asking his idol to do something, how could he, as a little fan, not be nervous?

"What's there to be nervous about? It's not like we're meeting for the first time. Just get to the point."

"I have a new song that's about to be released. Could you please help me promote it? Like, post it on Weibo and give it a shout-out."

After speaking, Cai Kunkun's eyes began to dart away, clearly somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Shaobai laughed, sounding annoyed.

"I mean, is that all?"

"Because I've noticed you don't usually help people promote their businesses. But..."

But you have a lot of traffic and a lot of fans, so I hope you can help me.

These were the words Cai Kunkun kept to himself, but didn't say directly.

Lin Shaobai smiled and said, "I thought it was something serious. You seemed so nervous."

"Yes. Could you please help me promote this?"

"Row."

Lin Shaobai agreed.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Cai Kunkun quickly lowered his head to thank Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai's Weibo account doesn't really promote people.

Unless that person begs and pleads relentlessly.

Cai Kunkun is somewhat like that now.

However, since it was a grand occasion, he was too embarrassed to be more obviously persistent and shameless.

Every time Lin Shaobai sees Cai Kunkun's face, he thinks about his fate.

The future will collapse.

It dominated the trending topics for a long time, breaking the hearts of a large number of fans.

Subsequently, he became less active in the country.

They used to invite him to every New Year's Eve concert...

Lin Shaobai shrugged as he thought of this.

Cai Kunkun was still immersed in his own world.

The ceremony officially began shortly afterward.

Today, internationally renowned designer Versace also came.

After a brief performance, the host began announcing the awards for today's ceremony.

Director of the Year: Jia Zhangke
Artist of the Year: Xu Bin
International Fashion Designer of the Year: Versace
Actor of the Year: Zhao Youting.

Most people's impression of Zhao Youting is that he is an irreconcilable enemy who stole their wife.

He married Gao Yuanyuan.

"Next up is the most popular artist of the year. Here's a hint: 'Ashes of Love'."

The answer is probably obvious.

There were relatively few audience members who could enter the ceremony, but even so, Lin Shaobai's fans still managed to shout the number of ten people, and the screams continued unabated.

Many people present were marveling at Lin Shaobai's terrifying popularity.

Fashion industry leaders value an artist's popularity.

If you are popular, then choosing you as our brand ambassador will have a greater appeal.

The fact that the products endorsed by Lin Shaobai have repeatedly broken records has proven that his commercial value is top-notch.

When the product endorsement expires, his contract is automatically renewed; nobody wants to let go of this cash cow.

"Yes, let's congratulate Lin Shaobai on winning the Most Popular Artist of the Year award! Please welcome Lin Shaobai to the stage to accept the award!"

Meanwhile, Lin Shaobai's image reappeared on Weibo.

He frequently dominates Weibo.

It could be because his drama airs, because his song is released, or even because of his face; all these things can help him trend on social media.

Maintaining high levels of discussion and traffic is what he needs to do.

#Lin Shaobai GQ Awards#
It immediately climbed to third place on Weibo's trending topics.

Click on this Weibo post, and you'll see handsome pictures posted by Lin Shaobai's fans.

He's the kind of handsome that both men and women would agree on, a style that resonates with everyone's aesthetic.

Lin Shaobai is so handsome!

Congratulations to Lin Shaobai on winning the Most Popular Artist of the Year award!

[How can this man be so handsome!]

Lin Shaobai is so handsome!

My boyfriend also says Lin Shaobai is handsome.

Me too. No one around me has ever said that Lin Shaobai isn't handsome. Even my mom thinks he's good-looking.

"Yeah, my mom also thinks Lin Shaobai is handsome. Among the new generation, she thinks Lin Shaobai is the most handsome."

[Any fan-submitted photos?]

Soon, unedited photos of Lin Shaobai taken by fans also frequently appeared in the comments section.

The images in the middle are unedited, taken with the original camera.

Even in unedited photos, Lin Shaobai is still devastatingly handsome.

At that moment, Zhou Ye's senior sister, who was lying in the hotel, smiled when she saw this scene.

"I didn't expect Xiaolin to look so handsome at a gala. But then again, he looks handsome at everything he attends; he always manages to trend on social media for his good looks."

Zhou Ye felt quite happy to be in a relationship with someone like that...

They were indeed very lucky.

On the other side, Princess Zhang Jingyi was stunned for a moment when she saw this trending topic, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She didn't say anything, quickly put her phone back in, and continued reading.

The school has exams coming up again soon.

Final exam week is a nightmare for college students, and it was no different for her.

Especially since the company was also at the final stage, she couldn't stop.

Lin Shaobai received a message from Wang Churan right after attending the ceremony.

[Would you like to meet sometime? I saw your handsome pictures on Weibo. I miss you again.]

Before Lin Shaobai could reply, the other party sent six emojis and six periods.

Seeing that there was still no reply, I continued to post.

Why aren't you replying to me anymore? You've become indifferent after all.

It's okay, even if you reject me, I won't be sad.

Even if you torment me, I will still love you.

[Anyway, don't torture them too much.]

Lin Shaobai's brows furrowed involuntarily upon seeing this.

Why does this guy still love to go into such abstract things? He sends so many messages all the time; he's such a chatterbox.

Not long after, the two met at the hotel.

Wang Churan, who had been quite talkative before, was speechless at this moment, only letting out shy moans.

……

"There's something else I wanted to tell you today."

Wang Churan suddenly grabbed Lin Shaobai's arm.

Lin Shaobai: "Huh?"

"It means I want to make movies."

Wang Churan looked at Lin Shaobai and spoke with a sincere expression.

"You want to make movies? But you don't even have any particularly famous TV series, and you're already thinking about making movies."

"Although I like you a lot, it's not nice of you to be so harsh on me, is it?"

"I'm just telling the truth, and you have to accept the truth."

"Even if a TV series doesn't turn out well, you can still make movies. It's not like you have to make a good TV series before you can make a movie. I'm just asking you, you should be able to help me."

After Wang Churan finished speaking, she hugged Lin Shaobai's arm with both hands, completely acting like a spoiled child begging for help.

"Is it okay? I know you should be able to help me."

Lin Shaobai stared blankly at her face.

Why aren't you saying a word?

"I heard it."

"You have to give me a reply after you hear that, this won't do."

Lin Shaobai looked up and thought for a moment about what kind of movie would be suitable for Wang Churan.

He will definitely make movies in the future, succeeding in both television and film.

Several famous movie leading ladies or supporting actresses instantly came to mind, and they all seemed quite suitable for Wang Churan.

"speak."

"Okay, I'll help you."

"Really?"

Wang Churan blinked her big eyes again.

Lin Shaobai: "If there's a suitable opportunity, I'll recommend you for it, because I'm thinking of making movies myself in the future, so I'll recommend you then."

"That's great!" Wang Churan stood up, hugged Lin Shaobai, and kissed him. She then twisted her body in his arms again: "I can take pictures with you now."

"I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person. I've liked you from the very beginning. I don't know why, maybe it's because you're just too handsome. I'm a sucker for good looks, I only like handsome people. Not only are you handsome, but you also agreed to my request. How could I possibly refuse you?"

"..."

"But I feel like something's wrong with you."

"what?"

"Next time I speak, could you please reply to me immediately?"

"Wasn't I just thinking?"

"Okay, stop thinking now, just cuddle with me and go to sleep."

Wang Churan patted Lin Shaobai's chest.

"Go, go, go."

"When you wake up tomorrow morning, you absolutely mustn't forget what we talked about tonight. You can't just forget it after a good night's sleep."
