Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 221, Section 220: Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi's backstage argument trends on social media (4K)

Lin Shaobai is so popular that his on-screen couples with three other actresses are frequently trending on Weibo.

Solo fans are heartbroken to see these couple names, but CP fans are ecstatic!

The female fans actually quite hoped that their idol could have a relationship with Lin Shaobai.

To put it bluntly, it's just riding the wave of popularity.

Many celebrities can elevate their careers to unprecedented heights by creating on-screen couple pairings.

For example, Dilraba and Lu Han, these two were quite a sensation when they were on Running Man a few years ago.

It is likely that both parties were aware of the situation and communicated with the production team.

After that, there weren't any particularly popular couples.

But in the years that followed, whenever a TV series was produced, the production company would have the male and female leads create a romantic pairing.

The essence of creating "couple pairings" is selling fantasies; it's an industrially produced emotional commodity.

The media and fans will consciously dig out the little details between the two, such as analyzing their selfies, matching outfits, and stealing glances, etc.

There are even analyses of the posting times!
All I can say is that CP fans are a group that's incredibly good at imagining things.

Given Lin Shaobai's current status and position, he has absolutely no need to create a romantic pairing. However, his female artists do need romantic pairing fans to increase their popularity.

"Sister Zi, you know all three of my CP names?"

Lin Shaobai teased him, sounding annoyed.

"My goodness, who doesn't know your three couples?" Yang Zi sat down next to Lin Shaobai very naturally: "But I think Bai Yangshu is the most suitable."

The name "White Poplar Tree" was given to Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi by netizens when they collaborated.

The collaboration was quite popular at the time, but it has faded a bit now.

After Yang Zi finished saying the CP name for Bai Yangshu, she and Lin Shaobai laughed at the same time. Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment and then laughed along with her.

At this point, it's best to bring up the topic again.

Tian Xiwei couldn't help but turn around when she heard the loud laughter behind her.

She also wanted to chat with Lin Shaobai.

There were just too many people over there.

Left with no other option, I could only open my phone and browse the trending topics.

Good news, Xiao Tian made it to the trending topics just by walking the red carpet.

The bad news is that the entry is particularly bizarre.

"The adorable and cute goddess Tian Xiwei?!"

Tian Xiwei felt a wave of dizziness upon seeing this trending topic.

Seriously, who came up with this?!
It's so incredibly shameful.

Tian Xi covered her forehead, unwilling to face the world any longer.

Oh my god, this is so embarrassing.

Netizens call you an adorable goddess, do you agree? Tell us quickly!

You have to accept it even if it kills you.

Can't we get on the trending topics in a slightly more respectable way?
Oh no, from now on everyone who sees us will call us the cutest and most adorable goddess.

Clicking into the entry reveals many passersby praising Tian Xiwei's good looks.

[Haha, who came up with this tag?]

[Yes, yes, Tian Xiwei is the epitome of cute girls.]

She looks cute, but didn't you guys notice the definition in her arm muscles back then? I feel like she's been working out regularly.

[Finally found someone who thinks like me! Whose cute girl has such defined arm muscles?]

[The head chef is here! I can vouch for him; Oda's arms are incredibly strong.]

I feel there's something wrong with this trending topic. It shouldn't be called "Cute Goddess," it should be called "Hardcore Barbie."

[Great! My crush finally met!]

The dress Tian Xiwei wore today perfectly showcased the muscle definition in her arms.

Netizens have always perceived her as a tall, cute girl, but they didn't expect her muscles to be so prominent.

I signed an autograph today, and the definition in his arm muscles was shocking.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before #TianXiwei's Arm Muscle Lines# became a trending topic, although the ranking of this trending topic was not high.

At that very moment, Zhang Jingyi had just finished walking the red carpet and arrived in front of the host.

"Welcome, Jingyi!"

"As everyone knows, the drama 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' was a huge hit. I just wanted to ask Jingyi, if you could go back in time, how old would you want to be?"

Zhang Jingyi looked slightly nervous holding the microphone.

If you look closely, you'll notice her body trembling slightly.

It was so cold outside, and she was still wearing an evening gown.

"If I had to go back, I'd go back to my childhood, when I was carefree."

Zhang Jingyi originally wanted to go back to being 18, but then she realized that she's not much different from being 18 now.

This question might be better asked to people in their thirties or forties.

"Then we congratulate Jingyi on such a great achievement."

"Thank you, thank you everyone for your support."

After exchanging a few words with the host, Zhang Jingyi quickly went backstage.

This is completely different from the weather outside.

Zhang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief once her whole body warmed up.

I was incredibly nervous when I walked the red carpet; it was the first time I'd ever faced something like this.

I feel like my heart is about to burst.

She followed the staff's instructions to her assigned spot, only to find Tian Xiwei standing right next to her.

Tian Xiwei was looking at Weibo's trending topics when she looked up and saw Zhang Jingyi's face.

The two stared at each other awkwardly.

In the end, it was Oda who took the initiative to greet them.

"Hello Zhang Jingyi, it's nice to see you again."

"Hmm. What are you looking at?"

Zhang Jingyi sat next to Xiaotian and asked gently.

"Look at the trending topics. I feel like all my trending topics are so bizarre, look."

Tian Xiwei showed Zhang Jingyi her trending topic about being cute and adorable.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but laugh out loud after reading the name aloud.

I've been holding it in for so long, it's really tough.

"Adorable Goddess? Which genius gave you that name?"

"I knew it! Can't we have a decent nickname? This nickname is too embarrassing."

"It's embarrassing as it may be, but it's kind of cute, isn't it?"

"Ok?"

When Zhang Jingyi praised Tian Xiwei for being cute to her face, she was momentarily speechless.

It’s weird.

This face has been praised as cute by countless people since I was a child, but why does it feel a little different now?
Tian Xi blinked her eyes, then leaned forward, gradually getting closer to Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi could only tilt her head back, looking somewhat lost.

Why are we getting closer?
"People online say you look like Zhou Ye."

Tian Xiwei looked at Zhang Jingyi's face and said.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but frown when she heard this topic.

I never imagined that entering this circle would lead to this kind of relationship with Zhou Ye.

The main problem is that everyone is saying she's trying to ride on Zhou Ye's coattails, which is really annoying.

Dong Sheng Future has no such marketing plan; it's all just ideas from netizens.

However, some people still believe that these inexplicable twin-flower press releases were created by Zhang Jingyi's team.

"Sorry, I don't think I resemble her at all."

Zhang Jingyi answered Xiaotian without hesitation.

Before arriving at the venue, she had anticipated that many people might ask about this.

She didn't want to run away.

A courageous fight back is the right decision.

"I also hope that Tian Xiwei will—"

"Ugh! I just think you two don't look alike at all. I don't know which eye of theirs saw that you two look alike," Tian Xi said cheerfully, snapping her fingers.

Zhang Jingyi was surprised that Xiaotian would say that.

She originally wanted to tell Tian Xiwei that she could stop talking about this topic, as she was a little annoyed.

Do you really think we don't look alike?

Zhang Jingyi felt a little happy.

"Of course!" Tian Xiwei crossed her arms and glanced back, then looked at Zhou Ye, who was chatting and laughing with Lin Shaobai, before turning back to say, "Anyway, I don't think you two look alike at all."

"That's great." Zhang Jingyi nodded with great satisfaction: "Finally, someone who understands."

"So, those press releases about the twin flowers circulating online, were they prepared by your team?"

Tian Xiwei is also a bit gossipy.

"Of course not, why would we do all that? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

Zhang Jingyi was helpless.

She cried for several nights because of the insults she received from netizens.

For Xiao Zhang, all she wanted to do was to follow Lin Shaobai and act in movies.

This is her job, and also the career she has pursued throughout her life.

Besides that, I don't want to do anything else messy.

"That's true. Just like I wouldn't give myself a weird nickname like 'cute goddess'."

"Haha, you're still thinking about the cute and adorable goddess."

"That is."

……

The star-studded Kiwi Scream Night is sure to be a focus of attention.

Even before the awards ceremony, just walking the red carpet dominated most of Weibo's trending topics.

#Lin Shaobai is so handsome#

#Adorable and Cute Goddess Tian Xiwei#

#Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye in the same frame#
#Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye pulling each other's hair in private#

Netizens browsing Weibo noticed that something strange seemed to have infiltrated the site.

"A hair-pulling incident?"

Even netizens who don't follow these two people will be curious and click on the link when they see these three words.

Rumor has it that Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye got into a fight backstage at the Scream Night event!

After clicking in, you can see the copy posted by a certain unscrupulous marketing account.

Although it's outrageous, some fools actually believe it.

[Oh my god, is this for real? I'm actually really looking forward to seeing them together.]

Me too, I want to see who looks better in front of the camera.

[Fans are criticizing it, but netizens are shipping it!]

[Yoko is definitely prettier, is there even a comparison?]

[As a casual observer, I feel these two are about the same level of fame, and there's no question of one trying to ride on the other's coattails. I suggest their fans stop fighting; it's pointless.]

[Can netizens use their brains? This is obviously just marketing hype. They're both adults, why would they be arguing behind someone's back? They're not children.]

【Why not? Look at Zhou Ye, she looks terrifying when she's cold. I have a feeling she'd bully Zhang Jingyi.】

[Can you please stop spreading rumors? Both girls are very nice; please don't fight.]

[Can these marketing accounts please get lost? Stop stirring up trouble. Do you know how badly Jingyi has been criticized because of these things?]

The discussion among netizens became increasingly heated, causing the trending topic to soar to the top of Weibo's trending list.

Just right to comment #Lin Shaobai is so handsome#.

Lin Shaobai had been on the trending topics list for this kind of time too many times, so he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

He met with Mr. Gao, the general manager of the kiwi fruit company, 10 minutes earlier, and the two discussed work seriously.

Kiwifruit has been working on a new period drama called "Changfengdu" for a long time.

This is a big production, and of course they wanted to see if they could collaborate with Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai agreed without hesitation as soon as he heard it was about this drama.

"Changfengdu" is on the list of most popular kiwifruit.

It immediately topped the popularity charts upon its release and its popularity score exceeded 10,000, making it a popular drama on the Kiwi Island.

The platform Kiwi uses a popularity score of 1 to measure whether a drama is a hit or not.

The show later garnered over 3 billion views across the internet, consistently topping the charts on various data platforms, and achieving over 10 billion reads on social media.

Furthermore, it was exported to many countries and received a good response, making it a true hit.

For the male lead, the spoiled young master Gu Jiusi, the producer's first choice was Lin Shaobai.

It can be said that there is no one more suitable than Lin Shaobai.

Most importantly, he has both popularity and acting skills, which is truly rare.

Having a large following will attract a large audience, but having good acting skills is what keeps the audience watching.

"We have always hoped that Teacher Lin could have a deep cooperation with our kiwifruit."

The two sides had a good chat, and Mr. Gao couldn't help but say before leaving.

"I think that without Teacher Lin's participation and her outstanding acting skills, 'Qingqing Daily Life' would probably not have achieved its current success."

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Gao. The success of this drama is also inseparable from everyone's hard work."

Lin Shaobai, please be polite.

"Teacher Lin is as humble as ever. Let's talk again later. I'll be going now."

Mr. Gao still had work to do, so he walked away with his assistant.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jingyi was wandering around backstage.

She wanted to talk to Lin Shaobai, otherwise they would have to go inside.

Unexpectedly, while wandering around, he bumped into Zhou Ye, who was also looking for Lin Shaobai.

And so, the two key figures awkwardly bumped into each other in the back hallway.

This area is small, with only two staff members moving boxes.

The two staff members quietly left after moving the boxes.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at them, then fixed her gaze on Zhou Ye.

"It's been a long time, senior sister."

"Yes, indeed. It's been a long time."

Zhou Ye's face involuntarily turned cold as he recalled the scene of their argument.

"I wonder how my senior sister has been doing these days?"

"It's fine, so you don't need to worry about it, Junior Sister Zhang."

"Have you seen the trending topics, senior sister?"

"They saw it and said we were fighting over hair."

Zhou Ye couldn't help but laugh when he said that.

I don't know which idiots on the internet would believe that.

"Yes, what the marketing accounts are saying is really outrageous, but..."

Zhang Jingyi narrowed her eyes slightly; her hostility towards Zhou Ye had not diminished in the slightest.

Zhou Ye also frowned.

She couldn't very well say that she had already agreed to be one of Lin Shaobai's partners, could she?

Zhang Jingyi would definitely laugh if she heard that.

Since you've already agreed to be one of them, why did you argue about it before?
That would be meaningless.

They made it perfectly clear at the time, but now they've compromised.

Hmm, I'm a little embarrassed.

Therefore, Zhou Ye decided not to tell Zhang Shimei about this.

"Junior Sister Zhang, I really don't like you that much."

Zhou Ye raised his chin slightly, his eyes utterly indifferent, as if he were looking at trash.

There was even a hint of provocation.

It's as if it's saying, "I'm more famous than you, get your facts straight."

Zhang Jingyi sighed helplessly, lowered her eyes, and retorted in a low voice, "Likewise, senior sister."

Thank you everyone for your monthly votes.
