Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 183, Section 182: You seem quite happy after the breakup.
"Boss, look who I've brought here?!"

Lin Shaobai looked up and saw his assistant, Xiao Liu, dragging Kong Xueer into the office.

Along with it came the aroma of rice, probably from grilled cold noodles.

Kong Xueer was once a trainee under Xiao Han. Xiao Han clearly stated that trainees had to control their weight, and things like eating late-night snacks and ordering takeout were forbidden there.

If they find out, they'll get scolded by their agent.

She kept her head down the whole time she entered Lin Shaobai's office, as if she had done something terribly wrong.

After a minute's hesitation, Lin Shaobai understood what was going on.

He walked over and first looked at his assistant, then gazed at Kong Xueer.

"You ordered takeout?"

"Forehead……"

Kong Xueer initially wanted to argue, but after seeing the "evidence of the crime" in her hand, she couldn't say anything.

Assistant Xiao Liu said, "Our boss just signed a contract, and as an idol, she's eating late-night snacks and not controlling her weight!"

Lin Shaobai gasped, then pointed at Kong Xueer's face and said, "But Xiao Liu, look how thin she is, isn't she?"

"Um... Boss, but trainees can't order takeout for late-night snacks."

"Which rule in our company says trainees can't do these things? Aren't you going too far in adhering to Xiaohan's rules?"

Lin Shaobai then looked at Kong Xueer: "The company doesn't strictly prohibit trainees from eating late-night snacks, but there are rules to control their weight."

Kong Xueer nodded frantically, obediently looking at Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai believed in Kong Xueer because people who want to fulfill their dreams but whose dreams have been delayed have a lot of perseverance.

This tenacity will allow her to maintain her self-discipline.

Eating a late-night snack occasionally won't make you gain much weight, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.

Moreover, her and Liu Yuxin's professional skills are more than enough to compete in the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Alright, alright, go get busy."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin."

Kong Xueer left dejectedly, but felt a warm feeling in her heart after running to the stairwell.

Meanwhile, Assistant Xiao Liu stood in the office looking like a clown, with what looked like a red ball hanging from his nose.

"Boss, aren't you being too lenient? Xiao Han's trainees undergo grueling training."

"Excuse me, is this Xiao Han?"

"no……"

Assistant Xiao Liu took a step back.

"The entertainment industry there is only so big, so naturally people will fight tooth and nail for such a small industry. If you don't have good professional skills, why should people like you? If you don't have fresh and unique features, people will gradually lose interest in this style. The competition is so intense that idols practice desperately to debut, and to maintain their figure, they might just hold an ice cube in their mouth every day."

Lin Shaobai paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, you've already seen the abilities of these two newly signed trainees. They work very hard in singing and dancing, don't they?"

Assistant Xiao Liu remained silent.

Kong Xueer and Liu Yuxin are indeed very skilled in their professions.

"It's not like you're indulging in food and drink every day. There's no need to make a fuss about ordering takeout occasionally. Judging from your expression, I thought Kong Xueer had committed some kind of divine retribution. Okay, buy me some late-night snacks."

After all that talk, Lin Shaobai finally got to the point.

Assistant Xiao Liu immediately kicked off and left the office.

……

……

Throughout June, "A Little Reunion" was undoubtedly the hottest TV series, consistently ranking first on the drama series charts.

Whether you're an elderly person, a middle-aged person, or a school-aged child, you'll be captivated by this show.

Chen Siqi once again watched the show with her family.

Every night, the whole family sits in front of the TV and watches it.

Her grandmother thought the children were quite cute, especially Fang Yifan, who was good-looking.

"Hey, Fang Yifan looks so familiar. I think I've seen him in several dramas."

Grandma has a bad memory, but she can still remember Lin Shaobai's face.

Every time, Chen Siqi would explain to her that this was the celebrity she had always liked, named Lin Shaobai.

This time, Lin Shaobai plays a high school senior.

Chen Siqi's mother thought that Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie acted the couple quite well, and was also attracted by Fang Yifan's liveliness.

These are all familiar faces, and they are as outstanding as ever.

Zhou Ye, this newcomer, seems to have brought some fresh blood to the scene.

In a certain high school
A group of girls gathered together to discuss the TV series they had recently watched.

Have you guys watched "A Little Reunion"?

"I watched it. I think high school students should watch this kind of high school drama. And the plot is really funny."

"And another thing! Lin Shaobai is so handsome! Why doesn't our school have a guy as handsome as Lin Shaobai?"

"There's probably only one handsome guy like Lin Shaobai in the whole country."

"But I think the actress who plays Qiao Yingzi is also very beautiful."

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhou Ye! I specifically looked up her name, she's really beautiful. I think Yingzi is the school beauty of Chunfeng Middle School!"

A music extracurricular class
"Hey you over there eating spicy snacks, come here."

"Ok?"

"Who do you think is prettier, this Qiao Yingzi or this Huang Zhitao?"

"Huang Zitao?"

"Huang Zhitao! A woman! Not the one from EXO!"

Several children huddled together, and as they looked at the image of Qiao Yingzi on the phone, they all smiled in unison.

"Of course this older sister is prettier! She's really pretty, such a beautiful woman!"

"Exactly. This woman has such fair skin and a small face, she's so pretty."

"Right? But the girl next to her is the school beauty as defined in TV dramas. What's going on?!"

Zhou Ye has now become the focus of attention at school.

Summer vacation is just around the corner, and I'm currently preparing my end-of-semester paper.

College students can't escape writing papers.

No matter your grade level, you can't escape it.

The sunlight was particularly dazzling today. The dormitory curtains were gently lifted by the breeze, and the air was filled with the unique scent of summer grass.

Zhou Ye sat at his desk, wrote a few hundred words on his laptop, and then stopped.

This awful heat makes me not want to do anything!

Not to mention having to do this kind of brain-intensive work!

"Zhou Ye!"

A short while later, her roommate brought in some letters.

She placed them one by one on her desk.

"Look, look!"

What are all these things?

Zhou Ye asked calmly.

"What else could it be? They're all letters that everyone wrote to you."

"fan?"

"Of course, I happened to run into them at the entrance of Beijing Film Academy. They asked me to bring this to you. You've gained a lot of fans now."

Zhou Ye immediately put down his studies and work, and carefully read each of the fans' letters.

Roommate: "I brought it to you so you could read it later. You should at least finish your thesis."

"Hey, what's the point of writing a paper? I'll write it later."

Zhou Ye finally found a reason to escape the pain of writing his thesis.

"You've been putting it off for so long, be careful the teacher doesn't scold you."

"My roommate said helplessly."

"So what do you suggest we do? Why am I writing papers all year round? I feel like my inspiration is drying up. Is it because the hot weather is burning away my inspiration?"

Zhou Ye said, as mischievous as a little devil.

"Give me a break. You can't even write a paper in the dead of winter. Are you going to say that the cold weather froze your inspiration?"

“That’s right! You’re absolutely right, my inspiration changes with the seasons.”

Zhou Ye blinked. His roommate was even more speechless.

Zhou Ye carefully read the letters written by his fans.

This is the first time she has ever received a letter from a fan.

She had previously received love letters from male students at the same school.

The result of all these love letters was the same: they all ended up in the trash can.

She still loved Lin Shaobai.

"Dear Zhou Ye, I'm your fan. My ID is TaoTaoXiaoWanZi. I happened to watch 'A Little Reunion' and found Qiao Yingzi to be so pretty. After that, I started searching for information about you online..."

"Hi Zhou Ye, I'm Xiaoxingxing from Weibo. I like you so much!"

"Sister Zhou Ye, I'm a freshman in college, and I really like you after watching 'A Little Reunion'..."

Zhou Ye held up the letters written by fans and read them aloud like a primary school class monitor reading a text.

She cherished these letters.

Many celebrities nowadays don't really care about letters from their fans.

Zhou Ye was just starting out in her career, so naturally she had a special feeling for those who supported her.

To put it simply, it means the new bride is beautiful.

That worn-out, immature beauty, a unique and one-time occurrence for any newcomer.

At this point, the artist is hesitant to believe that she has fans who like her, and she herself doesn't have much confidence, so she cherishes the few fans she has.

Seeing the letters from fans would make her eyes well up with tears, and she would express her gratitude in a trembling voice...

People who feel alive and vibrant are often more likable.

When she becomes truly famous in the future, these will all be her longtime fans.

Zhou Ye's roommate moved a chair and sat down next to him: "Speaking of which, I heard you're planning to go to Hunan TV to record the variety show 'Happy Camp'?"

"call!"

Zhou Ye gets a headache whenever this matter is mentioned.

She deflated like a balloon, sitting listlessly in her seat.

"Yes."

"Hey, you're really strange. If you're not popular enough to get on that show, you can't even get a chance. How come you're the one sighing and complaining?"

Zhou Ye's roommate thought that he really didn't know how lucky he was.

Happy Camp has a high level of popularity, with a regular audience almost every Saturday night, and it's nice to see your face on screen once in a while.

Moreover, this trip is also on behalf of the production team for promotion. Lin Shaobai, the lead actor, will also be there. With Lin Shaobai there, is there any need to worry about the ratings?

What a great opportunity! Why is Zhou Ye sighing and complaining when it's his turn?

"You do not understand."

After saying those three words, Zhou Ye inexplicably started singing: "He doesn't understand your heart, he pretends—"

"stop!"

Zhou Ye's roommate covered his ears while trying to stop him from singing.

Why does this lark always sound like its voice has been braised when it sings?
"I'm telling you, Yezi, you should just stick to acting and stop thinking about becoming a singer."

"Tch. Anyway, there are some things I can't tell you... In any case, this show is a challenge for me."

Zhou Ye sighed.

I'm going to see Lin Shaobai again.

We'll have to pretend nothing happened; we can't exactly be at odds with each other on the show.

Lin Shaobai shouldn't be that kind of person...

Let's be open and honest!
But thinking about it carefully, it's still so annoying.

"Ugh, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying!"

Zhou Ye scratched his head and said.

"Hey, stop pulling your hair, or you'll lose it all."

Her roommate quickly grabbed her hand.

"With so much hair, I'll never go bald!"

"No one says you're bald!"

……

……

Time flew by and it was time for the recording of Happy Camp.

Just before the recording started, Zhou Ye nervously jumped around backstage.

It hopped around a couple of times, just like a little rabbit.

There were many people around, and she was afraid that jumping around would disturb everyone.

Guo Zifan and Liu Jiawei were chatting in the distance, while Zhou Ye could only stand with Lin Shaobai.

The two stood side by side, but neither of them spoke.

Later, Zhou Ye felt really awkward and nudged Lin Shaobai with his shoulder.

"Ok?"

Lin Shaobai turned to look at her.

Zhou Ye coughed twice, putting his hand to his mouth: "Lin Shaobai, you—"

"Senior sister, you've finally figured it out?"

Lin Shaobai interrupted Zhou Ye and said.

Zhou Ye was a little confused.

What have you figured out?
What is this guy saying?

After thinking for a while, he realized that Lin Shaobai was referring to the previous incident.

Zhou Ye had already figured it out.

She made that decision because she had figured it out!
How could I possibly agree to go back now without thinking it through?

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"What I meant was that you shouldn't make any mistakes when you go up to record later and affect everyone."

Zhou Ye put his hands behind his back and turned his head to the other side, deliberately avoiding looking at Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai was helpless.

"But I think my senior sister should pay more attention to this, since it's her first time participating in this kind of variety show."

“Me!” Zhou Ye paused, then, after gathering his thoughts, said, “It’s precisely because this is my first time participating in a variety show that I’m being extra careful so as not to drag others down.”

"Alright, let's wait and see."

"..."

Zhou Ye sensed something was wrong.

How did the conversation end up back on itself again?

How did it turn into something I have to worry about again?
She took the opportunity to steal glances at Lin Shaobai.

They discovered that Lin Shaobai was no different from before.

He's still so energetic and handsome.

Zhou Ye smacked his lips.

I've been having trouble sleeping for several nights because of my breakup, but Lin Shaobai seems to be quite energetic!
There aren't any dark circles under her eyes!
She didn't look like someone who had cried all night because of a breakup at all.

Could it be that I was the only one who truly invested in this relationship?

Was everything Lin Shaobai did fake?

impossible? !
Zhou Ye quickly shook his head upon thinking of this.

Although the two have broken up, their feelings for each other are still genuine.

This incident shouldn't make us question how good Lin Shaobai was to us in the past.

The kindness shown to me in the past was genuine, and the help I received was also real...

It's just that these same things might happen to Zhang Jingyi as well.

How did Zhang Jingyi manage to compromise and accept this?

Anyway, Zhou Ye couldn't accept it no matter how much he thought about it.

At 5 p.m., the recording of Happy Camp officially began.

This is not the "Happy Camp" episode of "Hello Saturday" yet.

I noticed that Xiaotian liked more posts than Duling.
