Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 176, Section 175: "A Little Reunion" airs, Zhou Ye begins to shine.
Why is she trying to steal Lin Shaobai from me?

"I think you're drunk. Why don't you think about it again when you're sober?"

Li Tongtong regretted it a little. She really should have recorded what Zhang Jingyi said earlier, otherwise she would have known nothing after she fell asleep.

Those words she just said certainly didn't sound like something she would say when she was sober.

"Senior Sister Zhou Ye".

"Why...why? I've only been in one relationship, why are you doing this?"

"I will not give Shao Bai to you. I will not, give Lin Shao Bai... absolutely... never..."

"OK OK."

Li Tongtong hugged Zhang Jingyi and gently comforted her.

Indeed, Zhang Jingyi had never encountered anything like this before, so it's normal for her to feel sad and pained.

In no time, Zhang Jingyi was completely drunk, and Li Tongtong had no choice but to take her back to her hotel room.

Not long after Li Tongtong left, Lin Shaobai went inside.

The two were exactly ten minutes apart.

Lin Shaobai left a document in Zhang Jingyi's room last time and hasn't had time to take it yet.

I searched many places but couldn't find it. I thought it might be in Zhang Jingyi's room.

Lin Shaobai turned on the lowest light and rummaged through his desk, finally finding his file among a pile of scripts and lines.

"At this."

Lin Shaobai took the documents and was about to leave quietly when he overheard Zhang Jingyi talking in her sleep.

"Shaobai..."

Upon hearing his name being called, Lin Shaobai walked over, bent down, and listened intently.

"Shaobai..."

"Shaobai, I..."

"I……"

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Lin Shaobai helped Zhang Jingyi cover herself with the blanket and noticed that there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had just been crying.

"Drinking so much?"

"It's rare to see her drink so much."

Just as Lin Shaobai was about to reach out and wipe away Zhang Jingyi's tears, she suddenly opened her eyes.

She blinked her big eyes and stared straight at him.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Lin Shaobai's hand was still frozen in mid-air.

"open--"

"Young Bai!"

Zhang Jingyi suddenly grasped Lin Shaobai's hand, her eyes even brighter than before.

"Ok?"

"Is it because of premature whitening? Why is there so much whitening?"

"You're seeing double because you've had too much to drink."

Lin Shaobai wondered if she was drunk.

How could someone who's drunk still have this much energy?
"Shaobai...Shaobai, don't leave me. Please, don't leave me, please."

As Zhang Jingyi spoke, she struggled to sit up and rested her forehead on Lin Shaobai's hand.

"I don't want to lose you, I really don't want to lose you... I like you so much, to the point that I can't live without you."

"..."

Zhang Jingyi was different from usual when she was drunk.

"I don't dislike you, you should sleep well."

Lin Shaobai lowered his head and said.

"really?"

Zhang Jingyi lay back down in her original position and asked with her eyes half-closed.

"real."

"That's good. That's good..."

Zhang Jingyi slowly relaxed her grip and drifted off to sleep again.

Lin Shaobai chose not to disturb her and got up to leave the room.

……

Soon it was time for the TV series "A Little Reunion" to be released.

Before the film's release, Lin Shaobai went to the recording studio to record the song "Want to See You, Want to See You, Want to See You".

This is the ending theme song I promised to write for "Someday or One Day".

"I want to see you, I only want to see you, in the past and future, I only want to see you."

"We've traversed countless timelines, remaining connected amidst a sea of ​​people."

"Using every logical and cunning trick to solve the most perplexing mystery of love."

"Are you, like me, waiting for an 'I do'?"

Two hours later, Lin Shaobai came out of the recording studio.

"A Little Reunion" will premiere on Zhejiang TV on the evening of June 1st, and will be broadcast simultaneously on Tencent Video and iQiyi.

In the original timeline, the show didn't initially generate much buzz after it aired, ranking fifth or sixth in viewership ratings for its time slot.

It wasn't until later that its popularity gradually increased, eventually taking the top spot in its time slot.

This time is different.

Lin Shaobai, a top-tier celebrity, plays Fang Yifan in the show, and his fans had already started generating data and support for the show beforehand.

His fans had only one thought in their minds: Call me, I want to go and kill it!

No matter what, we have to boost the TV series ratings for Shao Bai!
As a result, that very evening, the hashtag #ALittleJoy# was pushed to the top of Weibo's trending topics list by fans.

Many netizens who didn't plan to watch the drama but just wanted to browse Weibo couldn't help but click on this trending topic.

Just watching a few clips is enough to be captivated by the realistic campus life and hilarious family dynamics in "A Little Reunion".

Similar dramas about the college entrance examination usually have high viewership.

This kind of drama is very realistic.

Most children have experienced the college entrance examination, so watching this kind of drama always reminds them of their own high school life, and they naturally immerse themselves in the drama, which resonates with them.

Not to mention, the scriptwriters of this drama also gave the three sets of parents distinct personalities.

Children will look at them and think how much they resemble their parents.

On its first night of broadcast, the TV series "A Little Reunion" received countless positive reviews!
This is so good! I love this kind of drama.

Wow, Teacher Sha's acting is still so good.

[That's a really good description; I looked just like that when I was in school.]

My mom is exactly like Teacher Haiqing—sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.

My mom is the same way, only a little different; she has a sharp tongue but a kind heart.

[Especially that line, "If you don't have a mother, I'm not your mother," I think every mother in China has said that.]

To be fair, the casting for both adults and children in this drama is very fitting. Lin Shaobai's acting is as excellent as ever, bringing Fang Hou to life. What surprised me most was the actress playing Qiao Yingzi; she's quite good!

[I agree. The director has a great eye; the role of Qiao Yingzi was perfectly cast.]

I looked up the actress who plays Qiao Yingzi; her name seems to be Zhou Ye, and she's a student at the Beijing Film Academy.

Wow, she's so beautiful! I'm completely smitten! Isn't Qiao Yingzi prettier than Huang Zhitao? What kind of taste does Fang Yifan have?!

Meanwhile, Zhou Ye, who was so nervous about the premiere of his first drama that he had an upset stomach, was squatting in the toilet.

She held her phone but hesitated to read everyone's comments.

I just held it tightly, feeling conflicted, anxious, and nervous.

Do you all like the character I play?
Has Yingzi entered everyone's hearts?

Have you all remembered my name?
Will people scold me?

Even if you're going to scold me, could you please be gentler? You're so sensitive.

Zhou Ye thought to himself.

"God help me, please go easy on me. My first drama series has just launched, can you give me some good luck?"

A moment later, she clasped her hands together and faced the ceiling in the toilet, praying desperately.

The roommate waiting outside to go into the toilet heard Zhou Ye's words and his face contorted in pain.

"Zhou Ye."

"what?!"

"Are you worshipping the toilet god in the toilet? Do you have some strange fetish? Is worshipping the toilet god popular now? Can't you go to the toilet? You've been in there for a long time." "Ah, no, I just..."

"Not only did you stay inside a long time, you went in a lot more often! Okay, come out now!"

"Oh."

There's no other way; there's only one toilet in the dorm.

After a while, Zhou Ye came out clutching his stomach and slunk away, standing in the middle of the dormitory.

Her other roommate had just finished hanging up the laundry and came back, and they made eye contact unintentionally.

"Hey Yezi, what's wrong? Your dark circles are so bad, did you have insomnia?"

I've been having insomnia for several days.

"Why?"

"Of course it's because the show is about to air, I'm so nervous!"

Zhou Ye put his hands on his hips and said.

Although Zhang Jingyi's incident is very impactful, it is insignificant to Zhou Ye, who has a new drama about to be released.

It has to be admitted that it can be quite distressing.

But it seems there's no solution to this problem.

Zhou Ye only directed one TV series and one movie.

The movie hasn't been released yet, so we can only look forward to the TV series.

She is considered the female lead among the children in this drama, and has a lot of screen time.

How could she not care about such an important role?

Moreover, it was the first drama series of my life to be released online.

I was so nervous that I had an upset stomach all day.

Zhou Ye also felt that he was very useless.

"Oh, you mean 'A Little Reunion'?"

"Yes."

"I don't think you need to worry too much. I watched a bit of it, and I thought you acted very well."

"Eh?"

Zhou Ye was taken aback.

My roommate continued calmly, "You know I'm a very picky person. There aren't many TV dramas that I would call good, but I've watched a bit of it so far. 'A Little Reunion' is a really good drama, and your acting is really good too."

After she finished speaking, she prepared to get into bed. As she climbed the ladder, Zhou Ye grabbed her thigh.

"Don't leave yet, don't go to bed yet, explain yourself clearly!"

Zhou Ye clung tightly to his roommate's leg, as if he were grasping at his last straw.

The light in his eyes was a mixture of excitement and gratitude.

"Thank you for telling me, thank you!"

"Uh... well, if you're going to talk, then please stop clinging to my leg! You almost fell off the ladder!"

My roommate said this with a mix of helplessness and indulgence.

Zhou Ye was the youngest in the dormitory, and because she was beautiful, cheerful, and kind, everyone doted on her.

Have you seen everyone's comments about me?

Zhou Ye blinked and asked.

My roommate hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, then lowered her head and said, "I saw in the comments that everyone says you're very pretty."

"What else? What else?!"

The tension and anxiety on Zhou Ye's face disappeared as soon as his roommate said it, and were replaced by excitement and pride.

"Some people say you're a good actress. Basically, you're pretty and a good actress. If you're really curious, just go online and see for yourself. Don't cling to me and keep asking me questions. I have other things to do."

"Okay, okay! Thank you for telling me all this."

Zhou Ye quickly picked up his phone and searched for "Qiao Yingzi" on Weibo.

Seeing the overwhelming positive reviews online finally put my mind at ease!
"Ah! Great, I did it!"

"All my hard work has paid off; everyone has finally seen that I have excellent acting skills!"

"Thank goodness, Qiao Yingzi wasn't scolded by everyone! Everyone likes Qiao Yingzi!"

"I, Zhou Ye, am finally going to become famous!"

Zhou Ye was thrashing around in the dormitory.

Like the mother monkey who escaped from Flower Fruit Mountain.

"Holy crap, what happened to Zhou Ye?"

Roommate A, who had just finished using the toilet, came out in horror to see Zhou Ye running and jumping around in the dormitory.

Roommate B shrugged: "Qiao Yingzi's show is good, she's happy."

"happy?"

"Yes, I'm so happy! So happy!"

Zhou Ye quickly ran to bed and began slowly scrolling through the comments people had given her.

The number of Weibo followers also started to rise from a few hundred.

Shortly after, a hashtag called #ZhouYeQiaoYingzi# became a trending topic.

This is the first time Zhou Ye has ever trended on social media.

She happily transformed into a groundhog and screamed in the dormitory.

"Wow, Mom, I'm trending! Ah—"

Zhou Ye quickly called his elderly mother.

Unlike Lin Shaobai, she doesn't have a large fan base that can boost his popularity and get him trending on social media.

Zhou Ye doesn't have any data-driven fans now; any fans he has are just casual observers. He only gets on the trending topics list because of word-of-mouth recommendations from netizens.

The more people search for it and the more people discuss it, the more likely it will climb to the top of the trending topics and attract even more attention.

"Mom, did you see that? I'm trending! It's the first time in my life I've ever trended! I want to record it!"

"Mom knows, Mom has been sitting in front of the TV watching your Qiao Yingzi. Mom thinks you acted exceptionally well. Mom likes it very much, and Dad, Mom, Sister, and Grandma all like it very much."

Zhou Ye was moved to tears upon hearing his elderly mother's gentle words.

Sigh, what a loser.

I was so nervous before that I had an upset stomach, but now I can't stop crying just from hearing my mom's words.

"Thank you, Mom."

"It's because you, Xiao Ye, acted so well. The script for 'A Little Reunion' is quite good; anyway, Mom really likes it."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye remembered that he had recommended her for the role of Lin Shaobai in the drama.

Without Lin Shaobai, how could she have gotten the role of Qiao Yingzi?

"Hey Ono."

"Hmm, what's wrong, Mom?"

"Are you two going to be a couple, Qiao Yingzi and Fang Yifan? Can you tell your mom?"

"Cough cough!"

Zhou Ye blushed and hurriedly explained, "Mom, please don't ask. We're just high school students, don't overthink it. Okay, well, I have to go now."

Feeling guilty, he hung up the power.

"A couple."

Zhou Ye muttered to himself what his mother had just said. After a while, he put his hands behind his back and walked step by step to the dormitory balcony, looking up at the distant starry sky.

She's about to become a shining star!

A dazzling comeback story!

"We're a perfect match, Shao Bai and I are a match made in heaven!"

She said it quietly.

The popularity of "A Little Reunion" reached number one in its time slot after airing two episodes on June 1st, with countless netizens urging for more episodes.

The characters Fang Yifan, played by Lin Shaobai, and Qiao Yingzi, played by Zhou Ye, have become trending topics on social media, sparking discussions.

Especially Qiao Yingzi.

With her youthful and beautiful ponytail, Zhou Ye stunned everyone as soon as she appeared.

She also achieved what is called "coming of the top" in her career with this role.

As she left the balcony, Zhang Jingyi's face inexplicably popped into her mind.

Zhou Ye slowly stopped, pondered for a moment, and then smiled.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not the same Zhou Ye as before. You're still the same Zhang Jingyi."

I went to the hospital today, so I'll just write 4000 words.
