Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 246, Section 245: Dudu and Wang Churan's Compromise, Zhou Ye Nominates Hundred Flowers Award (4K)

"Of course I won't leave you, Sister Duling."

Lin Shaobai said without hesitation.

He never expected Chen Duling to say such things.

Even though Chen Duling knew that Lin Shaobai was a womanizer, she still stayed by his side.

Perhaps some things can't be perfect.

Such an outstanding man, being with him probably always requires enduring some things.

Chen Duling found all of this laughable.

Before she had completely fallen in love with Lin Shaobai, such thoughts were absolutely not allowed to appear in her mind.

Chen Duling appeared calm and composed, as if she didn't care about anything and could forgive anything, but she would make a decision immediately if something crossed her bottom line.

But the fact that she didn't leave immediately when she vaguely sensed something was wrong with Lin Shaobai might have foreshadowed the future outcome.

If it were someone else, she would leave without hesitation.

"Then it's settled, we won't leave each other." Chen Duling leaned forward and whispered in Lin Shaobai's ear.

After seeing Lin Shaobai nod, she opened her arms and hugged him.

I was just trying to enjoy this rare moment of warmth, but before I could even hold the door for 10 seconds, it was suddenly pushed open!

"Xiao Lin!"

Wang Churan pushed open the door with an extremely excited face, but her expression immediately collapsed upon seeing the scene before her.

The speed at which his expression changed was astonishing.

Although Chen Duling was startled, she did not let go of Lin Shaobai's arm and maintained the hugging posture.

"What kind of behavior is this in broad daylight!"

Wang Churan slammed the door shut and stormed up to the two of them, her eyes gleaming with an air of impending doom.

She forcefully grabbed Chen Duling's arm, telling her to stop hugging Lin Shaobai!
On the surface, Wang Churan seemed to accept that Lin Shaobai had other people around him... but when she actually saw this scene, she couldn't hide her jealousy.

It's true that once you like someone, you can't accept them having close contact with other people!

After putting Chen Dudu's hand down, Wang Churan turned her head, bent down slightly, and hugged Lin Shaobai.

"No way, Dame! If anyone's going to carry you, it'll be me."

Wang Churan frowned as she looked at Chen Duling.

Chen Duling didn't bend her back even once throughout the entire situation.

Although her eyes gave the impression that she was looking at an idiot.

She sat quietly and gracefully opposite the two of them, smiling with her eyes lowered: "Okay, you can hug me."

"Huh?" Wang Churan stood there dumbfounded.

Ok.

As expected, Chen Duling's personality is like that; she can't get into arguments with people.

……

……

The movie is a huge hit, and Chen Duling, as the female lead, has turned her career around with her excellent acting skills.

His public image improved rapidly.

In all the interview videos, Dudu presents an image of humility, ambition, politeness, cultural refinement, good manners, and thoughtfulness.

This also attracted a group of fans who admired him.

Dudu made everyone realize that actors really do what they say about studying hard and honing their acting skills.

This is not just empty talk.

They genuinely recognized their shortcomings and are working to improve them.

Wang Churan had relatively few scenes in the film, but that didn't stop her from becoming a breakout star with her pure and beautiful image.

After the movie was released, many young women used her image as their profile picture.

There's no way around it, Li Muzi is just too beautiful.

Only a stunning beauty like Wang Churan could pull off that kind of artistic and sophisticated lady vibe.

Her scenes from the movie were quickly edited and posted online by netizens, sparking heated discussions.

[Li Muzi is so beautiful! I give the casting director 100 points!]

[Are you stunned? The actress playing Li Muzi is Wang Churan, an actress from Baichen Entertainment.]

I feel this is the look of a leading lady in a Qingyi opera; she's destined for stardom.

Among actresses of her age, almost none possess her striking and elegant appearance.

I feel that an actor can become famous as long as they have distinctive features, like Wang Churan, whose features are very striking.

[Mainly because she's not only incredibly beautiful and innocent-looking, but her acting skills are also quite good.]

[She's so beautiful, yet she plays a love-struck character.]

I think he and Lin Shaobai would make a pretty good couple.

[Yeah, can you guys use your brains? Someone who looks like Lin Shaobai, it's normal for him to be love-struck.]

If my husband were like Lin Shaobai, I'd be willing to be love-struck too.

[Please don't have such unrealistic fantasies, Lin Shaobai belongs to Tian Xiwei.]

[Can you please stop being so insensitive? Not a single person has mentioned Tian Xiwei in this topic. Can Tian Xiwei's fans please stop trying to piggyback on this?]

[Baby, could you please delete that comment about Xiaotian? This topic has nothing to do with Xiaotian, please don't comment about Xiaotian, it will only get you flamed.]

[Tian Xiwei's fans did not intend to start a fight.]

Meanwhile, the director of "You Are My Glory" was at home pondering the choice of the female lead.

From the day the male lead was cast until now, he hasn't stopped thinking about who to choose to play the female lead, Qiao Jingjing, in this drama.

There aren't many young and well-known actresses who are suitable for playing such glamorous and sophisticated female stars.

Dilraba was originally cast as Qiao Jingjing, but she had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts...

Now we have to choose someone again...

"Director, director."

Suddenly, the director's assistant came up to the director with his phone in hand.

"What?!"

"I think we could give that actress we met at Baichen Entertainment a try."

"Who... Oh, you don't mean that King..."

"Wang Churan! Yes, that's her."

The assistant showed the director a clip of Wang Churan's recent performance in "The Vanished She".

"She's become quite popular lately because of this movie. Even though she's just a minor supporting character, she's become famous because of her looks. Look how pretty she is, and her acting isn't bad either. Actually, she looks a lot like Qiao Jingjing."

After watching the video, the director nodded in agreement: "In terms of appearance, acting skills, and temperament, she does resemble Qiao Jingjing quite a bit... However, this person isn't popular. If an actor isn't popular, it will still affect the broadcast of the show."

“But currently, the famous actresses in this age group are not very suitable for this role. We wanted to find Tian Xiwei before, but her face is obviously not suitable for playing Qiao Jingjing.”

"..."

"Those actresses who've become popular recently—Zhou Ye, Zhang Jingyi, Yu Shuxin, Zhao Lusi—don't resemble Qiao Jingjing at all. Director, don't you think so?"

"Yes……"

"Besides, having Lin Shaobai in our drama is already enough."

This guy has an incredibly high level of online traffic. In addition to having a group of fans who are good at manipulating data, he also has excellent public image.

With him alone, that's enough.

"Let's choose a more suitable actress for the female lead. We can probably ignore things like star power."

"Hmm. You make a good point. Let's discuss it with President Lin another day."...

How could Wang Churan possibly refuse such a great IP when it fell into her lap?
Of course, I'd agree without hesitation!
This is Wang Churan's first leading role in a big-budget production, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days.

When she received the script, she kept thinking about the character of Qiao Jingjing, hoping not to disappoint the director and Lin Shaobai.

One day, she received a message from Chen Duling.

[Want to grab a bite sometime?]

Wang Churan didn't think too much about it; since Sister Duling had invited her, she would go.

You can even get a free meal.

Even though the two of them had met, Wang Churan didn't feel that the meal had any other meaning halfway through.

Chen Duling waited until Xiao Wang had finally finished eating before speaking, "I called you out today because there's something I want to tell you."

"You just want to treat me to dinner, don't you?" Wang Churan wiped her mouth.

"Of course, there's one more thing."

"Ah, alright, if you're going to be this formal, then I can guess what you're going to say!"

Wang Churan's mind instantly sprang to life.

I initially thought it was just a normal meal, but upon closer inspection, it's definitely not normal!
"Let me guess, you want to talk about my stunning beauty, and the handsome, dashing, and talented Lin Shaobai, right?"

"..."

Chen Duling felt a little embarrassed.

Is it necessary to use so many prefixes?
"This is..."

"Are you wondering how I guessed it so quickly? Is that it?"

"Actually, yes—"

"Of course, it's based on the Pythagorean theorem."

"..."

Chen Duling felt that the beads of sweat on her forehead were even larger.

She subtly clutched her skirt under the table and said softly, "Actually, I've known for a long time that Lin Shaobai has more than one girlfriend."

Seeing Chen Dudu so serious, Wang Churan felt embarrassed to continue with her abstract approach.

She slowly threw the paper into the trash can next to her and straightened her body slightly.

"Really? You must be joking."

“I’m not joking. I already knew when the movie I was filming was ‘Missing Her’.”

"Wow, you're amazing! You discovered it so early."

"It was a sudden intuition, and then I realized... Anyway, I've already been honest with Shao Bai, and I'm open to open relationships."

He spoke calmly, but every word he uttered felt like a thunderbolt.

This statement is understandable to anyone, but it's hard to imagine that it came from Chen Duling's mouth.

The general public generally felt that Chen Duling was a pure and innocent person, and even Wang Churan thought so.

She had some suspicions after seeing Chen Duling and Lin Shaobai getting so close and having a different relationship.

However, when I actually heard what the person in question said, I was still shocked.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Churan couldn't help but laugh: "Sigh, I really do have good taste."

Chen Duling: "Hmm?"

"The man I've set my sights on is just that charming. Even you, Sister Duling, are willing to accept this open relationship for him."

"..."

"I had some guesses before, but I wasn't sure. Okay! Since you've been honest, I'll tell you too, I am indeed Xiaolin's girlfriend... You should also know that he has other people besides the two of us, right?"

Chen Duling nodded.

Wang Churan: "So you can accept all of that?"

"can."

"So decisive?! I was at least upset for a while. You weren't even upset."

Wang Churan was shocked and took two big gulps of water.

"Of course it hurts, but it hurts in places you can't see. Some things can't be solved by feeling sad. Shao Bai is different from others, and he holds a place in my heart that no one else can reach, so for him, I'm willing."

"...Wow, as expected of Chen Dudu." Wang Churan pretended to pat her hand. "I'm impressed. So you came here today just to tell me about this?"

"And also...I hope..."

"Alright, you want to get along amicably, right? No problem!"

Without saying a word, Wang Churan stood up, ran around to Chen Duling's side, and hugged her tightly.

Wang was overjoyed to hear the words "get along well"!
She clearly only wanted to get along well with Xiaotiantian from the beginning, but she ended up having red wine splashed in her face!

It's not easy to find someone with such a good temper and so forgiving!
We should be getting along amicably, shouldn't we?

What's the point of going head-to-head and exchanging insults?
We should all get along well and help Lin Shaobai together.

"king……"

"Ok?"

"You're holding me a little too tight, I can't breathe."

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

Wang Churan turned around gracefully and leaned against the wall behind her: "Let me tell you, in this world, only Lin Shaobai can make us do this. If it were anyone else, how could I accept such a thing?"

Chen Duling: "Same."

"Sigh, that man is really lucky to have me."

"..."

……

Dudu and Wang Churan are now on the same side, getting along amicably and no longer choosing the "bloody" way of getting along.

The movie "Missing Her" ultimately ended with a box office of 41 billion yuan.

Just as fans have said before, Lin Shaobai's film achievements as the lead actor are now very impressive.

As expected, "Life's Big Events" performed just as well at the box office after its release.

Lin Shaobai will then become the first male actor born after 100 to break the 95 billion yuan mark at the box office.

A few days later, the Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films officially opened.

Zhou Ye was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Wei Lai in the film "Better Days".

The nomination alone has made fans incredibly happy.

It is generally believed that movie stars are more successful than television stars.

Not to mention a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for such a prestigious award.

Zhou Ye has already been nominated for Best Supporting Actress at such a young age; she truly has a bright future ahead of her.

In addition, the Movie Channel Media Awards also announced that Lin Shaobai and Zhou Ye won the "Most Media-Attended Actor" and "Most Media-Attended Supporting Actress" awards, respectively.

Fans went all out to get their idol trending on social media so that the public would know about these honors.
Congratulations to Zhou Ye on her nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

[Holy crap, the Hundred Flowers Awards. Zhou Ye is amazing!]

[Thinking back to her early days as a newcomer, and now seeing her nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award, this mother is moved to tears.]

[Whether or not he gets an award nomination in the end, it's already a huge encouragement! Go Zhou Ye!]

Zhou Ye deserves a mention for Best Supporting Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards!

Wei Lai's acting was truly excellent. The moment she appeared, I was stunned by her beauty; how could this girl be so gorgeous?
