Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 239, Part 238: "The Beginning" is released, Oda's second big hit (5K).

"Oh..." Li Yitong moved closer to Tian Xiwei: "Do you think what I said is right, disciple?"

Tian Xiwei was holding back her anger.

Whom is my disciple calling?!

"Teacher Tian, ​​the director wants to see you!"

"Oh."

At a crucial moment, the director called Xiaotian over and discussed some plot issues.

Li Yitong then boarded Lin Shaobai's RV as planned.

Lin Shaobai stayed in the RV looking at his phone, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"Teacher Lin," Li Yi went up and sat opposite Lin Shaobai, "I brought you some local specialties from my hometown."

"I can't fit all the things you brought me."

Lin Shaobai glanced at the empty space next to him.

The place was already filled with Li Yitong's gifts.

Li Yitong: "Don't you like the gift I brought?"

"I really like them; they're all practical items."

"That's good, I was worried. This is our first time working together on a TV series, I'm very happy..."

As Li Yi spoke, he looked out the door and saw Xiao Tian's figure in the distance.

Fearing another argument like the one before, she quickly left the RV.

But I didn't expect to run into Oda anyway.

As Li Yitong greeted them with a slight smile, Xiao Tian grabbed his arm.

“I saw you get out of Lin Shaobai’s RV again.”

"Sigh, you saw me again."

"You... stay away from Lin Shaobai," Tian Xi said softly.

Li Yitong: "Okay."

"Ah?"

Did Tian Xiwei agree immediately after thinking about it?

They agreed so quickly.

"If I want to stay away from Lin Shaobai, then I'll stay closer to you."

After saying this, Li Yitong left with a smile.

"..."

Tian Xiwei seemed to hear Li Yitong say something like this.

Because the sound was so soft, she wasn't sure if it was real.

accurate.

I'm extremely annoyed.

……

Throughout March, Tian Xiwei kept a close eye on Li Yitong, stopping him every time he tried to go to Lin Shaobai's RV.

Originally, Li Yitong didn't have many scenes, but Xiao Tian kept stopping her from filming until her scenes were finished.

Xiao Tian was relieved when that person completely left the film crew.

I can work peacefully and steadily with Lin Shaobai.

During a break from filming in March, Lin Shaobai returned to the company to record the song "doll".

"The biting wind pounded against my shoulders."

Crows circled low overhead.

"The lush grass and soaring birds of my dream have vanished."

"Facial expressions and words form chains"

……

This song became a popular background music on short video platforms for a period of time, and many people searched for the original song on music platforms because they liked the background music.

In addition, he also arranged for Zhang Jingyi, an artist in the company, to be photographed for the fashion magazine "OK! Wonderful".

Zhou Ye's popularity led to her being featured in the top-tier women's edition of Harper's Bazaar.

In early April, the TV series "The Beginning," produced by Zhengwu Sunshine and co-produced by Baichen Entertainment, was launched on Tencent Video.

Starring: Lin Shaobai, Tian Xiwei.

Because it's a drama starring Lin Shaobai, it was promoted on the big screen as soon as it premiered.

His fans across the country also bought large screens in various cities for advertising.

This drama also lived up to expectations, generating phenomenal discussion and popularity in the Chinese market thanks to its suspenseful mystery plot and positive word-of-mouth.

Within 10 days of its release, it garnered over 15 billion views, with a peak daily viewership of 2.3 million!
The total number of views for the bullet comments has exceeded ten million.

With over 3 views on the platform, it successfully entered the platform's popular drama category and topped the overall popularity charts on various data platforms for 15 consecutive days.

It received an initial rating of 8.2 on Douban, with over 60 ratings!
The number of views on Weibo for the TV series "The Beginning" has exceeded a staggering 60 billion, and the number of discussions has even surpassed 700 million.

You can see comments from netizens about the show and the actors almost all the time.

Everyone should watch "The Beginning," it's super good!

[A production by Lin Shaobai is guaranteed to be a masterpiece! He's China's only top-tier actor with both good looks and acting skills!]

[Hey passerby, this show is really good! I started watching it when I was bored, and now I can't stop.]

The female lead is so beautiful!

[Let me recommend this to everyone. The female lead is Tian Xiwei. She acts really well, is very beautiful, and has big, bright eyes.]

This show truly pioneered a new path: the terrifying masterpiece, Canon.

[Does anyone in my family understand this? I used to use Canon in D as my ringtone, but now I'm too scared to use it anymore.]

[How many stars' entire lives are represented by just one drama starring Lin Shaobai?]

[As a fan of Lin, I'm so proud! Every drama Lin stars in is a hit; he truly deserves the title of a top-tier star.]

[Next players, breaking the defense is useless; breaking the record is what matters.]

The female lead is so beautiful! Lin Shaobai always pairs up exceptionally beautiful female leads!

[Upstairs, does Yang Zi still count?]

Are you out of your mind? Why are you dragging Yang Zi into this topic?

During the airing of the TV series, it almost became a topic of discussion among the entire nation.

At this very moment, on a bus in a certain city.

Everyone rushed back for lunch.

But to everyone's surprise, a canon bell suddenly rang out in the previously quiet carriage!
The Canon ringtone sounds exactly like the one in the hit TV series "The Beginning," making it hard not to suspect that it was deliberately tuned to scare everyone.

Many people developed PTSD from the Canon ringtone after the TV series was released.

Everyone turned around to see whose ringtone was Canon, and then they saw a young man.

After noticing the public's gaze, the young man quickly turned off his phone and nodded apologetically.

His eyes seemed to be saying sorry, sorry.

His phone ringtone has been Canon for a long time, but it only recently became controversial because the TV series about it became popular.

Sure enough, just as he had predicted, everyone turned to look at him.

This shows that these people are also fans of the show "The Beginning".

Just diagonally in front of him were two high school students who had just finished their tutoring class.

After they turned their heads back, they discussed it quietly.

"Did you hear that? That was the ringtone, it was Canon in D."

"You scared me! I thought I had really traveled into a TV series."

"I'm getting PTSD from all the Canon songs. I seriously suspect that person downloaded the song Canon on purpose."

"I feel the same way."

"Speaking of which, even if we were to travel into a TV series, we wouldn't be the female lead. Tian Xiwei is just too beautiful."

"What you said has reminded me, I've decided to start watching dramas!"

"Wait a bit, we'll use WiFi when we get home, right now we're using mobile data."

In a female dormitory at a university.

Chen Siqi lay in bed, steadily watching her idol's new drama.

No classes today, so the happiest thing is lying in bed watching TV series!

A happy university life.

Besides watching the drama every day, Chen Siqi also has to do data analysis for Lin Shaobai.

She seems quite busy, but she enjoys it all.

Roommate A had just returned from outside. She glanced at Chen Siqi's phone screen and said, "Isn't this that super popular TV series, 'The Beginning'?"

"Wow, this is super popular! I was waiting for my food in the cafeteria when I saw so many people looking at their phones," my roommate B quickly chimed in with a smile.

"I'm watching this drama too. I really enjoy watching suspense dramas. Hey, who do you guys think is the murderer in the end?"

"Driver, don't you know?"

"It's the driver! Wait a minute, isn't this a spoiler?"

"Why don't you ask first?"

Chen Siqi chimed in during her roommates' argument, "I don't really pay attention to the plot; I only care about Lin Shaobai's handsome face."

The three roommates looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Tian Xiwei has become popular again this time."

"She's really lucky. Her first drama was 'Qingqing's Daily Life,' which was super popular last year. This year, she starred with Lin Shaobai in the first hit drama of the year, 'The Beginning.'"

"Now I understand why everyone online says Tian Xiwei is Baichen Entertainment's most favored artist. She's got one hit drama after another. Which actress wouldn't become famous after starring in two dramas like that?"

So far, Lin Shaobai has starred in several hit dramas, including "Ashes of Love", "Go Go Squid!", "A Little Reunion", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Qing Qing Daily" and "The Beginning". Each of these dramas has been a huge hit with immense national popularity, and none of them have flopped.

Some fans who are envious of the next team can't even find anything to mock.

In terms of viewership, it is absolutely king.

As the female lead in this drama, Tian Xiwei naturally reaped considerable benefits. Her popularity and reputation experienced a phenomenal leap, completely solidifying her status as a talented post-95s actress.

His follower count has skyrocketed, officially surpassing 700 million on Weibo.

She topped the Weibo actress index for seven consecutive days.

A young actress has surpassed the older generation of popular actresses, enjoying the highest level of popularity during the show's run.

She has good acting skills, good looks, and a good character in this drama. There's practically nothing to criticize about her.

During the show's airing, he was featured in more than 20 trending topics related to himself.

The hashtags #TianXiweiActingSkills #TianXiweiCryingScenes #TianXiweiLiShiqing, etc., have all garnered extremely high popularity.

The head chefs who had already jumped on the bandwagon were ecstatic, as their favorite female chef was becoming an internet sensation once again.

Now, which of the post-95 actresses dares to compete with her?
Among the veteran actresses born in 95, Guan Xiaotong is currently the most prominent.

This woman has a strong foundation as a child star, but unfortunately, her popularity is only so-so.

Moreover, after she officially announced her relationship with Lu Han, many fans criticized her.

With two super hit dramas in hand, Oda is far ahead of the competition.

During the broadcast of the drama, a company's lunch time
Tian Xiwei's young fans accidentally discovered that their colleague was watching "The Beginning".

"Wow, I love Oda so much!"

As the head chef, he couldn't stay calm at all; he seemed to be going crazy when he saw Tian Xiwei.

"Oh, I think she and Lin Shaobai are a good match. I really hope they get married."

My colleague said calmly.

She's just a fan of the couple's pairing.

I simply think these two people are good-looking and a good match.

"So you're a shipper! You're a shipper from a young age."

"What do you mean by 'young and slightly timid'? I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just watching a show."

"Oh……"

If you open the bullet comments section of the TV series, you'll find that whenever there's a scene where Lin Shaobai and Tian Xiwei are together, there will always be some comments from fans who are really into shipping them.

Let us wish this former couple well.

[Young and Slightly Sweet Again!]

[Young and inexperienced!!]

Lin Shao and Bai Tianxi are such a perfect match.

The person who first cast them as the male and female leads in this movie was a genius.

So sweet, so sweet, so sweet!

[I'm so dizzy! I'm smitten!]

[Tian Xiwei was personally chosen by Lin Shaobai as the female lead. The production company cast Lin Shaobai first. It was Lin Shaobai who actively chose Tian Xiwei.]

[It looks even better now.]

Even the company staff are all swooning over President Lin and Tian Xiwei.

Due to their work, they could only keep this feeling in their hearts.

After Tian Xiwei became a sensation, she received many more job offers, including four commercial endorsements.

Spokesperson for Quechao Coffee brand.

Brand ambassador for Crispy Shark.

Brand ambassador for the mobile game Peace Mirror Heroes.

Penguin Maps brand ambassador.

At the same time, due to the immense popularity of their on-screen couple, they were invited by Harper's Bazaar to shoot a duo magazine feature.

As is widely known, Harper's Bazaar is also called the "marriage bureau" of the entertainment industry.

They'll invite almost any popular couple to shoot a duo feature.

Lin Shaobai and Tian Xiwei have already collaborated twice, so it's time for them to shoot for this magazine.

That afternoon, Tian Xiwei's team held a meeting in Bai Chen Entertainment Company's office.

A new intern made a PowerPoint presentation about Xiaotian's recent situation.

This includes her trending topics, netizens' discussions, fans' reactions, the popularity of the TV series, and so on.

"Tian Xiwei is the most popular female artist among the younger generation. I looked at the comments from netizens, and they are all positive."

"The TV series 'The Beginning' is doing well; Tian Xiwei gained up to 50 followers in one night."

"So our current idea is to continue marketing her sweet girl persona. There are currently no actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry who have the same type as her. If we continue to develop this, she will definitely become a top female star."

"The most important thing now is to stay in the public eye."

The artists in the team are very optimistic about the development of their own artists.

The data speaks for itself. Zhou Ye's previous popularity stemmed from his success in TV dramas, movies, and variety shows.

Tian Xiwei has already caught up with her after only two dramas aired, becoming a representative of young actresses with both popularity and achievements.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ye had already returned to his hotel in Beijing.

Now that filming for "Youth Travel Notes Season 2" is finished, she can finally take a good rest.

Then I turned around and saw how popular the actress in the same field had become.

It can be described as a clear case of overtaking on a curve.

If a celebrity encounters the right drama and the right opportunity, their rise to fame is unstoppable.

There are countless examples of celebrities who went from being relatively unknown to becoming first or second-tier stars because of a single drama.

This is truly worrying.

Meanwhile, the protagonist, Tian Xiwei, couldn't stop smiling in the hotel where the filming was taking place.

Friends and relatives called one after another to congratulate him.

This is even bigger than when "Qingqing's Daily Life" aired before.

"Qingqing's Daily Life" is an ensemble drama, where everyone has a chance to become famous. This time, the suspenseful plot revolves around the male and female protagonists, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun.

With more screen time, the popularity naturally increases.

"Yes, yes, Mom, don't worry, I will never be too proud. I always remember to be humble, there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."

"Hey, Dad, I actually knew this show was going to be a hit a long time ago. I'm not bragging, but with my looks, it was bound to be a hit."

"I could have imagined becoming famous with this drama, but I didn't expect to become famous so quickly and so fiercely."

"Really? My CP with Lin Shaobai, 'Young and Slight,' has already made it into the top three? The CP fans are so fierce!"

"Auntie, please help me promote this show. It's really good."

"Want my autograph? Sure, don't worry. Auntie, you're my friend, so I'll definitely take care of you."

While making a phone call, the incredibly popular Tian Xiwei was also wandering around the room, unable to settle down and sit still in one place.

It must be admitted that she is already far ahead of the competition in the same track.

With two hit shows, "Qingqing's Daily Life" and "The Beginning," their solid achievements speak for themselves, and no one can challenge them.

The phone call ended at midnight.

Tian Xiwei stood on the bed in her pajamas, head up, letting out a particularly hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hard work pays off, we've finally waited for this day!"

While the chefs' data analysis skills are currently not as good as those of Yang Zi and Dilraba, two top actresses born in the 90s, they are more than capable of outperforming actresses of the same age.

Xiaotian was so excited that she didn't sleep well that night, and went to filming the next day looking a little tired.

Just before filming was about to begin, Lin Shaobai glanced at Tian Xiwei standing next to him.

Seeing her somewhat dazed look, I couldn't help but laugh: "Why is this recently popular female celebrity so dazed?"

Tian Xi looked ahead and sneered: "Don't make fun of me, I'm a top-tier female influencer. There's no such thing as a female influencer."

"But your recent stats are really good, haven't you looked at them yourself?"

"I've seen it. But it's still not as good as..."

Even without her saying it aloud, Lin Shaobai understood who she was referring to.

"If we catch up with them, we'll have to endure a few more years. We're already doing pretty well."

Thank you.

"Ok?"

"Thank you for recommending me to the production team. Thank you Li Wei and Li Shiqing... Xiao Lin, without you, there would be no Tian Xiwei today."

As Tian Xiwei spoke, her eyes gradually regained their sparkle, and she turned her head to smile, as sweet as ever.

Lin Shaobai looked at her for a few seconds and then turned his head back. He was about to speak when she interrupted him.

"Of course, Honda's hard work cannot be ignored. He endured countless days and nights of hard filming, and finally got such a good opportunity. Oh, no, there were two opportunities."

"If Li Wei is about making people know me, then Li Shiqing is about making people remember me!"

Tian Xiwei spoke earnestly, only to turn her head and realize that Lin Shaobai had been staring at her the whole time.

Those eyes were so incredibly affectionate; I couldn't stand staring at them for more than a few seconds.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a womanizer!
Tian Xiwei looked slightly uneasy.

Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?

"That's right, I think you're cute."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Shaobai walked slowly toward the director as if nothing had happened.

Tian Xiwei's mind went blank for a moment.

I didn't come to my senses until the person in my sight got further and further away.

"I...Isn't it common knowledge that I'm cute?!"

She lowered her head and sighed somewhat embarrassedly.

Assistant Xiao Zhao walked over, her face still expressionless, but as soon as she spoke, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up: "Congratulations."

Tian Xiwei: "Oh? Little Zhao?"

"The show is doing well, and your fan base is growing rapidly. There are fan-made videos of you on various platforms. You have such stunning good looks and are such an adorable goddess."

"Keep the stunning good looks, but remove the cute and adorable goddess. It's just too cringeworthy."
