Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 31. After filming "Ashes of Love" wrapped up, I received a new job offer from "Idol Producer".

Time flew by and September 30th arrived, and the movie "Never Say Die," produced by Mahua FunAge, was released in theaters across the country.

Movies produced by Mahua FunAge usually star Teng Ge and Mary, but this time the lead roles have been changed to Allen and Mary.

The content is a rather clichéd one: the male and female protagonists swap bodies.

The male protagonist, a boxer, has his soul enter the female protagonist's body, while the female protagonist, a TV host, has her soul enter the male protagonist's body, leading to a series of hilarious events between them.

The film grossed 22.13 billion yuan, which is a very good result.

A major event that shook the Chinese entertainment industry occurred immediately after the National Day holiday!
On October 8th, Lu Han officially announced his relationship with Guan Xiaotong.

Hi everyone, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, @GuanXiaotong.

This is a classic Weibo post by Lu Han.

Lu Han was incredibly popular back then.

He was the first post-90s generation to appear on the Chinese edition of Forbes, holds three Guinness World Records, started the Super Topic movement, and created the first Weibo explosion.

There was no way around it; EXO was incredibly popular back then, and there was the classic battle between Clover fans and EXO fans.

After Lu Han officially announced his relationship, Weibo crashed. Even a programmer who was getting married had to rush back to fix his computer.

Lu Han announced his relationship at the height of his popularity. Some say he lost 1000 million followers, while others say he lost 300 million.

Regardless, it did have some impact on his career.

This has led to celebrities being less likely to officially announce their relationships afterward.

Even someone with Lu Han's strong background would be affected after announcing his relationship, let alone them?
Take Xiaobai and Song Tie, for example. Everyone knows they're a couple with an older woman and a younger man, but they just won't officially announce it.

In reality, as long as you don't officially announce your relationship, your fans can deceive themselves, help you manipulate data, and help you clear your name.

Some fans simply refuse to believe what the paparazzi say; they only believe what their older siblings say themselves, unless they get photos of them in bed!

Of course, most of the time it's a case of asking for a beating and getting one.

I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River.

On October 14th, Lin Shaobai's first TV series, "Ashes of Love," wrapped up filming.

He was holding flowers given to him by the production team, with a large cake in front of him.

Yang Zi, Luo Yunxi, and several others surrounded him and took a group photo with him.

Lin Shaobai was the youngest among them, so they often took care of him.

"Ashes of Love" holds extraordinary significance for Lin Shaobai. He knows that the drama will become a huge hit after it airs, and he truly cherishes it like a treasure.

A few days later, the second phase of the "The Voice of China Season 2" elimination round began airing.

In this episode, Lin Shaobai took the stage to sing his second original song, "Quietly".

The show immediately became a trending topic on Weibo after it aired.

#Lin Shaobai's "Quietly"# is ranked third on Weibo's trending topics list.

Lin Shaobai's creative talent has once again been recognized by everyone.

The following day, the song "Quietly" was released on major music platforms and immediately became the number one new song on the charts.

After a new song is released, it will be on the new song chart for a month. After a month, the songs with good performance will enter the hot song chart.

On the Tencent Music platform, the top new song chart last month was "Never Lost Love" by Lin Shaobai.

After "Quietly" topped the new song chart, "Never Lost Contact Love" became the number one hit song.

Although Lin Shaobai is from the Beijing Film Academy, his momentum in the music industry is unstoppable, making him a dark horse.

He released two original songs, his Weibo followers exceeded one million, and his super topic followers exceeded 8. With only these 8 super topic followers, he briefly rose to the top ten of the celebrity super topic rankings.

His fans, known as "White Cranes," are also quite aggressive in generating data, turning a 8-view super topic into a potential 80-view one.

Those ahead of him are all established celebrities like Lu Han, Zhang Xingxing, Fan Zifeng, and Yang Yang.

Whether someone can attract fans is truly a mystery, but Lin Shaobai possesses this magical quality. The cosmetics brand Innisfree officially announced on Weibo that Lin Shaobai has become their brand ambassador for China.

Lin Shaobai also gave interviews to NetEase Cloud Music and Tencent Music.

His popularity is gradually rising.

In mid-to-late October, he suddenly received a call from his father.

"Do you have time today? Come to the company."

Lin Shaobai hurried to the company, where he met a woman in her thirties.

Agent Li: "Hello, Lin Shaobai. I'm your agent. I've been in the hospital recently because I'm sick, I'm so sorry."

Lin Shaobai: "Oh, it's nothing... Are you feeling better?"

This agent is also managing Xin Xinzi.

Xin Xinzi has just joined the Hua side and is the type that nobody cares about right now.

The current top actress in Chinese film and television is Wu Qian, who became famous a few years ago because of "My Sunshine".

Back then, she had really good resources; she even filmed dramas with Oh Sehun, one of South Korea's top idols.

But who knew that she would end up dating Zhang Yujian?

"You're feeling much better. Lin Shaobai, you've already released two original songs and achieved very good results. You're now considered a singer with representative works. I'll try to secure a new resource for you."

Agent Li handed the contract to Lin Shaobai.

"Music mentors on 'Idol Producer'?"

"Idol Producer" is an idol competition and talent show produced by iQiyi, and it should be considered the first big hit talent show in the Chinese entertainment industry.

This show also launched a new top star, Kun Kun!
Although Kun Kun has faded into obscurity now...

At the time, it truly reached the point where the whole nation was following the talent show, and Kun Kun became famous overnight.

Moreover, the remaining eight members of the group 9% also received a great deal of resources and exposure.

Their self-introductions have become material for many Bilibili's parody video creators, and everyone says that no one is allowed to idly sit under that backdrop.

Originally, Zhang Xingxing was to serve as the representative of the national producers, Li Ronghao as the music mentor, Wang Jiaer and Ouyang Qing as the rap mentors, and Cheng Xiao and Zhou Jieqiong as the dance mentors.

Lin Shaobai glanced at the information on the form.

Because of his addition, the rap mentor list now only has Wang Jiaer, while the music mentors are him and Li Ronghao.

“You’re a rising star male singer with representative works, so I tried to get in touch with them. They were also looking to add some fresh blood. Plus, you’re about the same age as the trainees, so you might get along well with them.”

Agent Li analyzed.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Sister Li."

"This program will be recorded next month, so get ready."

"it is good."

Lin Shaobai then briefly discussed some work matters with his father and agent in the office before leaving.

Because he kept looking down at his phone, he didn't notice Xin Xinzi rushing out in front of him.

The two of them bumped into each other by sheer coincidence.

"Ouch!!!"

Xin Xinzi's standard sweet voice rang out.

Xin Xinzi, clutching her bruised arm, looked at Lin Shaobai: "Hey, I've seen you online before, you're Lin Shaobai, right?"

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Mm."

Xin Xinzi: "You sing so well, I love it!"
