Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 263, Section 262: Cunzi's Active Performance Makes Xiaotian Jealous (5K)

"So, that Liu Haocun..." After a while, Wang Churan pulled Chen Duling away, and the two of them stood in a corner and began to discuss.

"what happened?"

"Why is she so close to Lin Shaobai?"

"We weren't that close, were we? We were just having a normal chat."

"No, no, no, if you look closely at Liu Haocun's eyes, you can tell he definitely likes Lin Shaobai."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Duling's usually harmless smile instantly froze.

what?
what?
like???

Seeing that Chen Dudu didn't react, Wang Churan quickly grabbed her arm: "This, didn't you notice just now? Liu Haocun's gaze towards Lin Shaobai was different. The way she looks at Lin Shaobai now is the same as how we look at him, there's affection in it!"

"I really, really didn't realize that..."

"You're usually pretty smart, so why do you suddenly become so stupid at times like this? How did you manage to score over 600 on the college entrance exam?"

"These things aren't on the college entrance exam."

"So what exactly is going on between the two of them?"

"I don't know, why don't you go ask them?"

Wang Churan was stunned and immediately took three steps back: "I won't ask. I only dare to discuss such a sensitive topic with you."

"Pfft." Chen Duling chuckled gently and indulgently: "Although, I think Liu Haocun is quite cute."

"What!"

Wang Churan thought she should have made herself clear just now.

The meaning now is that Liu Haocun is beautiful and has a cheerful personality, and wants to join our big family.

What?! What?!
This family has enough now.

Tian Xiwei just left, and now an even younger sister is coming.

And she seems quite scheming...

After watching Lin Shaobai leave the backstage area, Tian Xiwei stopped paying attention to the others and closed her eyes to rest.

During this time, many minor celebrities came over to greet her.

No matter what, Xiaotian is now considered a top-tier celebrity, and many people want to be friends with her.

This includes Liu Haocun.

Liu Haocun quickly pinpointed the matter to Xiaotian, and slowly walked over after seeing that there was finally room around her.

Unlike the others who greeted her warmly, she stood quietly beside Xiaotian, looking at her gently.

Tian Xiwei was a little depressed.

What are you doing?!
Standing here without saying a word, just trying to provoke people, huh!
Tian Xi slowly opened her eyes, looked at Liu Haocun standing next to her, and smiled.

Liu Haocun: "Hello, Sister Tian Xiwei, I am Liu Haocun. I have always liked Sister Tian because she is very cute and has big, round eyes like grapes."

She's as sweet-talking as ever.

There hasn't been much activity on Xiaotian's side. Since entering the entertainment industry, countless people have praised her as a cute and sweet girl.

We're saying that this is the kind of persona we've always had.

This compliment is not lacking.

"Thank you, you're very pretty too."

Let's just be polite.

"I heard that Sister Xiaotian and Brother Shaobai are very close."

"..."

Tian Xiwei was still smiling on the surface, but in fact, she was so angry that veins were popping out on her forehead.

what's the situation?
Was that a deliberate provocation?
Or does it mean something else entirely?

Tian Xi turned her head to look at Liu Haocun, whose face still radiated the purest smile of a young girl.

His appearance, his smile, his demeanor, his personality... he's exactly the same as that guy surnamed Zhou from a few years ago.

Upon closer inspection, you'll find that there are still some differences.

This person is even more profound than the one surnamed Zhou, and somewhat unfathomable.

"Just call me Lin Shaobai, why call me Brother Shaobai..."

Tian Xiwei's voice was even softer than before, but it still reached Liu Haocun's ears.

Liu Haocun's smile didn't fade at all; seeing Xiaotian's reaction made her even more excited.

"Ah, after all, I'm younger than Teacher Lin, so it's normal for me to call him brother."

"Cough..." Tian Xiwei gritted her teeth after hearing these very strange words, and it took her about 3 seconds to recover.

It's clear that this guy surnamed Liu is 100 times more annoying than the guy surnamed Zhou.

Oh no, 1000 times!
"What year were you born?" Tian Xi asked.

"00."

"No... do you know what year Lin Shaobai was born?"

"99."

"Yeah, you two aren't that much of a age apart, are you? You're making it sound like Lin Shaobai is more than ten years older than you. According to your logic, I should call Lin Shaobai 'little brother'."

"all right."

Liu Haocun was still smiling.

Looking at that smile, Tian Xiwei felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

Although both Chen Dudu and Liu Haocun love to laugh, and their laughs are very sweet, Chen Dudu gives off a gentle vibe that comes from within.

This Liu Haocun, she really does have the potential to be a little witch.

Tian Xiwei really dislikes this kind of personality; she's gone from disliking people with the surname Zhou to disliking people with the surname Liu.

It's gram.

Really.

"I really like Teacher Tian. I especially love the drama you acted in, 'Qingqing's Daily Life.' Every winter, I like to watch this drama in bed. I've rewatched it so many times and I never get tired of it."

"Ah, thank you."

Tian Xiwei gave a perfunctory reply.

Seeing that Master Tian didn't want to chat anymore, Liu Haocun could only lift her skirt and walk inside.

They happened to run into Lin Shaobai, who had just finished work.

Liu Haocun: "Brother Shaobai, this is the first time we've met at the Tencent Video All Star Awards. Can I take a picture with you?"

"Sure," Lin Shaobai agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, I just stood there and let my assistant take a picture.

As Tian Xiwei was about to enter, she saw the two of them chatting and laughing while taking pictures, and subconsciously clenched her fists.

I'm jealous! I'm really jealous!
That spineless jerk is jealous again!

Speaking of that guy surnamed Liu, doesn't he get tired of calling me "brother" all the time?
Anyway, every time I hear that "brother" from him, it's like eating 80 pieces of fatty meat – so greasy.

Lin Shaobai... does he just like listening to this kind of thing?

"Haha! Brother Shaobai, I'll go in first then."

Liu Haocun deliberately glanced at Xiao Tian, ​​who was standing in the distance, before walking into the inner area.

Tian Xiwei pretended that nothing had happened and came to Lin Shaobai.

"His popularity is off the charts, he's a top star."

"Can't you use a different form of address?"

"Top-tier Bai".

"...Fine, do as you like."

"what?!"

Tian Xi blushed slightly!
"you you you you……"

Don't think that saying such things will get you forgiveness, or that you can make peace...

Forget it.

Tian Xiwei quickly forced herself to calm down. This was the Tencent Star Awards, a star-studded gala.

"How did you two meet?"

"I met her while traveling abroad and we got to know each other through chatting."

Haha! We had a great chat!

Tian Xiwei's tone rose noticeably from beginning to end, even becoming somewhat sharp.

The main reason is that we are currently in the Cold War phase.

We rarely have the chance to chat; we only get to meet and talk at public events that we have to attend.

Lin Shaobai remained silent at first in response to Xiao Tian's reaction, then said in a serious tone, "Are you jealous?"

"I'll eat a fart!"

After saying that, Master Tian stormed into the inner area.

Assistant Xiao Zhao ran over and handed Lin Shaobai some things.

"Mr. Lin, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Say it"

"I think I just heard that Tian Xiwei wants to eat farts. Is she a little mentally unstable right now? This won't do, President Lin, she's our company's most popular female celebrity."

"..."

Even after entering the venue and finding his seat, Oda was still furious.

You actually said you were jealous?

What a load of rubbish!
Absolutely not jealous!
I simply find that the way that guy surnamed Liu talks makes me want to vomit!
"Hmm? It even rhymes a little, doesn't it?"

"What rhymes?" Reba asked, standing next to her.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Tian Xiwei quickly explained with a smile.

Both of them are now top-tier actresses, so it was natural that they were seated together. Tian Xiwei became famous too early and too popular, which would attract a lot of jealousy.

Dilraba has absolutely no feelings about that.

Perhaps it's because the two aren't competing on the same track.

She rarely sees her old rival Yang Zi, and they hardly ever even make eye contact.

Such destined rivals usually don't meet on big occasions.

Yang Mi and Zhao Xiaodao, Yang Zi and Reba, Zhao Lusi and Yu Shuxin...

Whenever they appear together, a single word or glance can spark a frenzy among fans, even igniting a major online battle.

"Oh, how rare! I'm sitting with you, Xiaotian, this time. What are you doing now?" Baba asked.

Tian Xiwei: "I haven't done much lately..."

Actually, they were rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala.

Her sudden surge in popularity quickly earned her her first opportunity to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.

Although she was supposedly having a cold war with Lin Shaobai, the two were still of such high status that they had to meet on many important occasions.

Xiao Tian will be participating in a skit on the Spring Festival Gala.

The show is separate from Lin Shaobai's, but you'll still run into him during rehearsals.

"Oh, I was thinking you might be filming a movie."

"No, I just want to travel around recently. I've been filming a lot and haven't had much time to play."

"Oh, right. I've noticed you don't participate in variety shows much."

"I don't spend much time on camera; I'm mostly filming," Tian Xi said with a smile.

Among the company's artists, Zhou Ye has appeared on many variety shows. Since the airing of "Youth Travel Notes Season 2", she has become a hot commodity for various variety shows.

Many scripts for romantic youth dramas were handed to Xiaotian, but he rejected them for various reasons.

TV series that are guaranteed to flop should be abandoned immediately...

Where is Sister Ba?

"Ok?"

What has Ba Jie been up to lately?

Tian Xiwei thought to herself, "Since you've already asked me, let me ask you too. We're not that close, but I'll be a little polite."

"Haha, I'll just stay home. If I don't have a job, I'll just stay home."

"Oh……"

Tian Xi gave an awkward laugh and then faced forward again.

Can we please start the awards ceremony already? I really can't continue this conversation!

------

Once all the celebrities were seated, Tencent's Star Awards officially began.

Tian Xiwei only has one drama series on Tencent this year, "The Beginning".

This drama gained immense popularity; despite having only a dozen or so episodes, it became a phenomenal hit.

After the Star Awards began, artists went up to perform, and the hosts also came out to present the awards.

Wang Churan and Chen Duling both received corresponding awards recognizing their acting skills.

Two hours later, we arrived at the most anticipated event: the [Annual VIP Star].

The regular winners in previous years were Lin Shaobai, Yang Mi, Zhao Xiaodao, VV, Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, and Reba.

Everyone thought that this year's lineup would be the same, with no major changes.

It wasn't until the host announced the name "Tian Xiwei" that the conversation ended.

And this year's VIP Star award doesn't include VV!

After Lin Shaobai's big fire, VV did indeed have fewer job opportunities.

Shao Bai is only in his early twenties, handsome, a good actor, and can sing. Such a multi-talented person is hard to come by.

Good proposals are always given to Lin Shaobai first before considering others.

Moreover, he didn't have any popular dramas airing during the selection period, so he was naturally eliminated.

"Lin Shaobai, Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Zhao Xiaodao, Yang Mi, Reba, and Tian Xiwei! Congratulations to these 7 people for winning the Tencent Video Annual VIP Star Award."

"Ok?"

Tian Xiwei didn't expect to receive this honor until Rebala next to her took her hand and she realized what was happening.

"Let's go, what are you spacing out for?"

"Oh……"

Tian Xi suppressed the urge to burst into laughter and forced herself to walk to the center of the stage.

As luck would have it, she walked over and found herself standing next to Lin Shaobai.

Tian Xiwei wasn't nervous at first, but she suddenly became awkward when she stood next to Shao Bai.

Standing below the stage, Wang Churan clapped while carefully analyzing Xiao Tian's micro-expressions.

That's clearly an expression of liking it, so what is this woman doing?
Since you like it, you agree to let them do these pointless things here.

And she's still causing trouble for our family, Xiaolin is so annoying!
Speaking of which, Kobayashi looks so handsome on stage! I love him!
Ah, love!
The cameraman quickly captured her infatuated expression.

The camera then cuts to Tian Xiwei holding the trophy.

It's really hard to explain what happened in one or two moments.

So tonight's trending topics, besides those about how handsome or beautiful the celebrities are, also include #WangChuranFangirl#.

I don't know which brilliant person came up with the title, but it makes me really want to read it.

Many netizens clicked on the link thinking it was Wang Churan fangirling over a male celebrity, but upon closer inspection, they discovered it was actually Wang Churan fangirling over Tian Xiwei.

The director's camera angles were also strange; after Wang Churan's infatuation, the camera cut to Tian Xiwei on stage receiving an award and giving a speech.

This reminded many netizens of the scene where Wang Churan seemed to roll her eyes at Oda.

The changes between these two are too drastic.

Didn't she roll her eyes just a while ago?
Have they made up again recently?

[It's so nice to have two beautiful women together; it's a feast for the eyes.]

[Who's dating? Our Xiaotian went up to receive an award, don't try to crash the party!]

[Didn't we hear that Wang Churan was rolling her eyes at Xiaotian before? How come she's suddenly got this infatuated expression?]

[I get it! This must be a scheme by Baichen Entertainment to clear this guy surnamed Wang's name!]

[Lin Shaobai really has some clever tricks up his sleeve; he's decided to sacrifice Tian Xiwei to clear Wang Churan's name.]

[That's a really clever tactic! Seeing their relationship like this, I'm actually quite taken with it.]

[Beautiful women are the most alluring! Any producers interested in making a TV series about this?]

[It's strange. Wasn't Wang Churan rolling her eyes before? How did she suddenly become so infatuated? The change is a bit too drastic.]

[Tian Xiwei is really popular! Both boys and girls like her a lot. I think even if Wang Churan hated his eye-rolling before, she must have been won over by her personality later on.]

[It's okay, Wang Churan. It's good that you admit your mistake and correct it. Seeing the genuine and tender look you gave our Xiaotian, just pretend you didn't roll your eyes at me before.]

[Am I the only one who noticed that Wang Churan and Tian Xiwei are both dressed exceptionally beautifully today?]

Is Wang Churan trying to cultivate that kind of persona?

[I agree with the person upstairs.]

She was simply expressing her admiration for another woman openly, and the previous eye-rolling incident has already been clarified. Please be kind in your comments.

Wang Churan inadvertently gained recognition from many netizens because of this infatuated expression.

It's not as annoying as before.

Surprisingly, the incident of people rolling their eyes was somewhat alleviated because of this.

Of course, she only saw the trending topic on Weibo after she got back to her car after the Tencent Video All Star Awards.

"Oh my god!!"

Why are you shouting so loudly?

The agent, sitting beside him, said with great helplessness.

"How did I end up trending again? I hope everyone's going to start criticizing me again!"

"Good news, good news! You weren't scolded; on the contrary, many people are saying that you admitted your mistakes and corrected them!"

"wrong?"

Wang Churan frowned, then quickly scrolled through the comments below the trending topics.

"Oh? It seems the scolding really wasn't as harsh anymore."

Wang Churan looked slightly surprised.

The previous eye-rolling incident gave her PTSD.

I'm terrified of reading comments now.

Sometimes when I post something on Weibo, I can see a lot of people following up and cursing at me.

"That's really unexpected. Your gentle and tender expression at the time was probably directed at President Lin on stage, wasn't it?"

"You know all this?!"

"Please, I'm your manager, what don't I know? And how could you possibly show Tian Xiwei that kind of expression?"

The agent shrugged.

Wang Churan: "Yes, I was just swooning over Lin Shaobai on stage because I genuinely like him. It's not just liking, but also admiring him. I was really happy for him when he won the VIP Star of the Year award again. Who would have thought that the camera would cut to Tian Xiwei? What a blunder!"

"Yeah, but it's all good, at least it salvaged his public image."

“That’s true.” Wang Churan put her phone aside and stretched slightly.

"No matter what, at least the result is good. And I also won an acting award this time, not bad, not bad. Although it's not very prestigious, it still counts."

"What? You're aiming for Best Actress in a TV Series or Best Actress in a Movie?"

"Sigh! Everyone has to have dreams, right? Maybe my TV series will be a hit..."

Wang Churan paused for a long time, and after a few seconds sighed softly: "Whatever, I just hope I can have a representative work as the female lead."

"Hmm...we can look forward to 'You Are My Glory'."
