Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 43. Five endorsements plus commercial shoots.

"Sister..."

You didn't have to say hello, but if you bump into each other face to face, is it really okay to just pretend you don't know each other?

"Hi, how are you?" Zhou Ye said with a smile, his hands behind his back.

Zhang Jingyi wrapped her scarf tighter around herself, not expecting that Zhou Ye would greet her first.

Zhou Ye is in a particularly good mood right now, which may be because he has already met the person he likes.

When Zhang Jingyi is with people she doesn't know well, she is reserved and quiet: "Senior sister..."

"Your name is Zhang Jingyi, right?"

"Ah."

"I've seen you a few times, and I just asked you your name. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Hmm. I don't have anything else planned for today, so I thought I'd come to the Bird's Nest to watch the concert. Where's my senior sister?"

"I'm a Jay Chou fan, I really love Jay Chou."

"Oh..." Zhang Jingyi seemed relieved upon hearing this.

Zhou Ye turned his head and looked at the Bird's Nest again: "Of course, we also need to see a narcissistic jerk."

"Hmm?" Zhang Jingyi slowly raised her eyes: "Narcissist?"

Zhou Ye nodded and chuckled: "The one who won the championship of the finals of The Voice of China tonight. That narcissist... Lin Shaobai."

Generally speaking, the princess would feel secretly happy when she heard Lin Shaobai's name, but hearing it from her senior sister now made her inexplicably feel a little heartbroken.

"Alright, I'll be going now."

Zhou Ye wasn't familiar with this junior sister, so there wasn't much to talk about. It was best for him to hurry back to school.

Zhang Jingyi watched her retreating figure and sighed deeply.

She also understood that Lin Shaobai had a better relationship with his senior sister.

She was just feeling very uncomfortable, inexplicably uncomfortable.

I've never felt this way before...

Zhang Jingyi wanted to go back to find Lin Shaobai again, but then she thought that she probably wouldn't be able to see him easily now.

No matter what, he still holds the title of champion of The Voice of China.

"never mind."

The moon had long since set, and the sky was pitch black.

The streetlights shimmered on the thawed, damp steps, making the night unusually cold and damp.

……

……

……

The next day
"Guest" and "If the Moon Doesn't Come," written, composed, and sung by Lin Shaobai, have been released on music platforms.

His fans, known as "White Cranes," regularly collect data at 10 a.m., along with various casual listeners.

It's incredibly popular. Within ten days of its release, "If the Moon Didn't Come" garnered over 6000 million views, 500 million+ favorites, and 400 million+ likes.

It has topped the official charts more than 30 times, and has consistently ranked first on the Rising Stars Chart, New Songs Chart, and Hot Songs Chart.

The lyrics "sixpence" and "moon" from the song have become trending captions this winter!
This has sparked a series of viral hits, including covers by various influencers, dance performances by influencers, and even celebrity follow-ups.

Among them, actress Yang Zi used this song as background music in a travel video.

Honey also followed the trend and took a picture.

Yang Zi thought Lin Shaobai was a friend, so she used this background music to support his new song!

As for Sister Mi, she's just riding the wave of popularity and currently has absolutely nothing to do with Lin Shaobai.

However, Da Mi Mi was very curious about this newly emerging male singer with high popularity.

Furthermore, China Central Television also published an article praising Lin Shaobai's songs for bringing spiritual strength to a wide audience, and interpreting the lyrics again and again.

It aims to help modern dream chasers slow down their pace.

"If the Moon Doesn't Come" has also become a popular choice for official cultural and tourism platforms across various regions. These official platforms have selected the song as background music and combined it with local unique scenery, landmarks, and cuisine to create a series of exquisite and excellent short videos.

According to statistics, Lin Shaobai's song has been linked with more than 150 cultural and tourism accounts in China, including those in Harbin Province.

Another song released at the same time, "Guest," ranked second on various charts because it was overshadowed by the previous song.

Many netizens have questioned this, to which Lin Shaobai responded that "the song was written based on the experiences of his friends."

The song's melody and lyrics resonate deeply with listeners, quickly garnering over 300 million favorites.

According to data, this song has become one of the most popular songs among those born in the 90s.

With these two songs, Lin Shaobai further solidified his influence among young listeners.

He released a total of five songs, all of which were hits, making Lin Shaobai a recognized dark horse in the music industry.

Now, all those who pay attention to him are his music fans and his good looks fans.

It is well known that fans are loyal, while new fans are crazy.

I just love listening to your songs; people can't live without music.

Following the surge in data traffic, a series of endorsements followed.

Lin Shaobai is now the champion of the second season of The Voice of China and has released five hit songs. The commercial deals he is now accepting are directly for brand ambassadors.

Biscuits have become the brand ambassadors for Oreo.

Potato chips have become the brand ambassadors for LeShi.

Tea beverages have become the brand ambassadors for Master Kong Ice Tea.

In terms of insulated cups, they became the brand ambassadors for CupBear.

Tissue paper becomes the brand ambassador for Debao

These brands' endorsement fees reached tens of millions.

That's why people say celebrities make money easily.

We also arranged a photoshoot for ELLEMEN's January 2018 issue.

These commercial endorsements are either resources negotiated between agents and companies, or they come to the brands proactively.

Lin Shaobai has been busy shooting promotional photos for various endorsements recently, and during this time he also received an invitation to the Kiwi Scream Night.

Every year, Kiwifruit hosts this Scream Night, inviting the most popular celebrities on the platform that year to receive awards that garner some attention.

Singers have no shortage of stages for various galas, and Hunan TV, seeing his high popularity, quickly invited him to their New Year's Eve concert on December 31st.

Other TV stations also wanted to invite Lin Shaobai, but Hunan TV beat them to it, so there was no way to do so π_π.

Large-scale galas like these usually invite singers and idols to perform, as well as actors who can sing or those with a large following.

The closing act of the gala is usually a singer with huge popularity; in previous years it was Andy Lau, Li Yuchun, Xue Zhiqian, and Hua Chenyu.

In 2017, it was common practice to choose a popular male celebrity to headline the show, such as the "Four Big and Three Little" (referring to four popular male celebrities and three popular female celebrities).

Lin Shaobai sometimes lamented that of the four big and three small ones from back then, only Lu Han remained.

Although vv is still active, its reputation and popularity are far less than before.

He acted in a drama and his acting was so affected and greasy that he was ridiculed by the entire internet.

Moreover, the VV traffic is somewhat inflated.

Putting him alongside the previous few feels like an overestimation.

The boy band "Go Fighting!" has disbanded and the members have gone their separate ways.

The result of going solo is that the second brother has a bad reputation and no real ability, while the eldest brother is always acting and is constantly criticized by everyone.

None of them have any representative works.

Only four words can make things better the more you mix.

Of course, two others were also punished by law.

Later, during a rare free time, Lin Shaobai took a plane back to school.
