Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 83, Section 82: Professor Cheng's Nighttime Request (Seeking First Subscription)

Lin Shaobai raised an eyebrow and glanced at Cheng Xiao.

Why are they holding each other's arms in a hotel so late at night?
Seeing that Lin Shaobai didn't react much, Cheng Xiao pressed his body closer to him again.

Actually, I still want to explain what happened last time to you.

"Oh," Lin Shaobai leaned his head closer, "So you mean you suddenly kiss me, and then inexplicably make me forget it, as if nothing happened, right?"

Cheng Xiao felt a little awkward. It turned out that from an outsider's perspective, this matter seemed so unreasonable.

She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I don't know why I said that at the time. I've actually been wanting to ask you about it for a while, but..."

"No wonder I felt like you were always trying to talk to me on the show."

"Huh? Was I that obvious?" Cheng Xiao covered his mouth in surprise.

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Yes, you'll know when the show airs."

"Tsk." Cheng Xiao recalled the scene of recording the program before.

"so what?"

Lin Shaobai slowly approached Cheng Xiao: "Now, do you want to explain?"

It was the exact same scene again.

The last time Cheng Xiao was stared at directly by Lin Shaobai was like this.

Looking at that handsome face, she simply couldn't help but be moved.

Just looking at his face makes my heart race, and I can't help but want to kiss him.

Now that the atmosphere was right, Cheng Xiao mustered her courage, gently cupped Lin Shaobai's face, and kissed him deeply.

She then forcefully tackled him onto the sofa.

A night of tenderness.

……

……

early morning
It's the weekend, so Lin Shaobai slept in a little longer.

When she opened her eyes, she found Cheng Xiao standing by the bed.

She was already dressed and had finished her makeup.

Being stared at so early in the morning is really a bit scary.

Lin Shaobai ruffled his messy hair: "Getting up so early, aren't you going to sleep?"

Cheng Xiao: "Something came up at the company, so I have to go back to you right away. I was just about to say hello when you woke up."

Lin Shaobai squinted his eyes: "Hmm..."

Cheng Xiao: "So? What's the difference between being a mentor for a girl group and a boy group?"

"You can't be too strict with girl groups; if you're even slightly harsh, they might cry."

"Oh? Looks like you'll have to coax him." Cheng Xiao said, somewhat jokingly.

Lin Shaobai: "It definitely needs to be done gently... hmm?"

He was halfway through his sentence when Cheng Xiao suddenly bent down and lifted his chin with his index finger.

Lin Shaobai looked bewildered and offered little resistance.

"What's wrong?"

"I just marvel at how good-looking you are."

Cheng Xiao is a die-hard fan of Lin Shaobai.

I was drawn to his face from the very first glance.

After that, this feeling grew stronger and stronger.

Lin Shaobai pointed to her chest: "One of your buttons is undone."

Cheng Xiao has a great figure; some tight-fitting shirts tend to pop open when she wears them.

Cheng Xiao blushed instantly after being touched by Lin Shaobai's words, and she turned her back to put on her coat.

Lin Shaobai laughed in exasperation at this.

After picking up his bag, Cheng Xiao approached Lin Shaobai once again: "I'm leaving."

Lin Shaobai waved his hand: "Mm."

"And one more thing."

"What's wrong?"

"If there are any more talent shows that need dance instructors in the future... could you recommend me to them?"

Cheng Xiao bravely spoke out his thoughts.

Lin Shaobai propped himself up on his arms, looked at Cheng Xiao, and tilted his head.

Cheng Xiao: "After Idol Producer became popular, China will definitely produce many similar talent shows in the future. I think I am capable of serving as a dance mentor on the show. If there is such an opportunity, could you recommend me?"

Lin Shaobai smiled and said, "Okay. I'll recommend you to them when I have the chance. You dance very well."

Indeed, when selecting dance mentors for girl group auditions, they should choose those who have come from girl groups themselves.

Finding someone like Bozi is really not suitable, even if he is a very good dancer.

Seeing how much pain he's in while dancing to girl group songs, wouldn't it have been better to just find a female teacher from the start?
Cheng Xiao's acting skills are not very good, but she is quite good at appearing on variety shows.

She should have understood this principle later on, which is why she mainly focuses on variety shows.

The dramas she acts in have always been criticized, but it's not her fault; idols themselves don't have very good acting skills.

Being a dance teacher on a talent show is a pretty good option; it increases exposure and can also make money.

"Really?" Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up considerably.

"certainly"

Just as Lin Shaobai was about to go back to bed, Cheng Xiao hugged him tightly.

"Thank you"

Then, because I was in a hurry, I left the room in a hurry.

Lin Shaobai thought to himself that he would definitely not be able to sleep now.

He picked up his clothes from the ground and shook off the crumpled paper.

"I feel like I need to change into something else..."

His assistant, Xiao Liu, called him at that moment.

"Boss, there's a meeting at the company this afternoon."

"What kind of meeting is this on the weekend?" What's going on? Does HuaCe have started implementing single days off per week?

Does having only one day off a week even qualify as rest?!

Isn't that just catching your breath?

Lin Shaobai first called his father.

"Dad, why do we suddenly need to have a meeting?"

"I have to work overtime today, something came up. Remember to come."

"Okay, I'm coming over now."

Lin Shaobai didn't know what it was about until he arrived at the company and found out it was an artist summary.

It's the kind of meeting where they periodically summarize the recent work of their artists.

The last meeting was cancelled for various reasons, so it was postponed to this Saturday.

Lin Shaobai and his agent, Sister Li, sat together, while an employee was presenting a PowerPoint presentation in front of them.

Huace is, after all, a film and television company, mainly focused on film and television. Currently, the most popular male actor in the company is Hu Yitian.

This guy's previous drama, "A Love So Beautiful," was very popular, and he became an instant star.

Lin Shaobai's dramas haven't aired yet, so he can't be considered an actor in dramas that have already aired.

However, he has also carved out his own unique path by creating songs.

It's still okay now, but in the future, people in the industry will seem to be able to make money from both singing and acting.

Of course, not many people can do both well.

Sitting opposite Lin Shaobai is Xin Xinzi.

She'll be a total flop now.

I filmed four dramas starting in 16, all of which flopped completely, and I only played minor roles in each one.

Sitting here, I felt a little insecure and was too shy to speak.

The leaders here are analyzing the work and income of the company's artists, talking about them one by one, and no one can escape it.

After the meeting, Lin Shaobai's agent, Sister Li, asked him, "Do you have any thoughts on this TV series after it's finished filming?"

"To make a movie," Lin Shaobai said without hesitation.

Agent Li: "Filming a movie? Don't you plan to give yourself some time to rest?"

Lin Shaobai shook his head: "What's there to rest for? Let's hurry up and film something."

I dare not rest at this time, otherwise how will I fight against Bozi and Xiao in 19?

Lin Shaobai had heard rumors about casting for "Better Days" a while ago, but there hasn't been a formal announcement yet.

However, he already had an idea: he was determined to land the male lead role in this movie.

The film ultimately grossed 15 billion yuan, which is considered average, but it won numerous awards.

It has won eight awards at the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best New Performer.

It was shortlisted for the Generation section of the 69th Berlin International Film Festival and for Best Feature Film at the 33rd Golden Rooster Awards.

Little Yellow Duck swept up a host of awards with this film, winning Best Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards, Hundred Flowers Awards, and Hong Kong Film Awards.

A truly terrifying result.

Although she has received a lot of criticism, it must be admitted that her acting skills are really good.

Perhaps she has a talent for acting, just like Liu Haocun.

Although the general public doesn't particularly like them, their acting skills are very natural.
The actor was nominated for many Best Actor awards for this film, but unfortunately he didn't win any.

He did win Best Newcomer.

If both the male and female leads of a film are nominated, only one of them can win the award.

After all, it's not really appropriate to give both the Best Actor and Best Actress awards to just one film.

Since the movie has already won Best Actress for the Little Yellow Duck, then there's definitely no chance for the Four-Character Award.

"Oh, and one more thing." Agent Li suddenly remembered something and turned to stop Lin Shaobai: "You, don't you have a girlfriend?"

After she finished speaking, she looked around to make sure no one was around before continuing, "Take it easy, and remember to close the curtains."

Lin Shaobai laughed when he heard this.

It's true that many people in the entertainment industry don't draw their curtains, which has led to a lot of scandals being exposed.

"I'm serious, don't laugh!"

The agent reached out and pinched Lin Shaobai's arm.

"Did you get that? Be serious. Do you know how many female fans you have? If someone suddenly reveals you have a girlfriend, do you even want to stay in the industry?"

"Oh, and also, is your girlfriend from your school?"

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Yes. I understand, I will be careful."

Anyway, even if a scandal breaks out, as long as you don't respond, everyone will forget about it after a while.

Isn't this just an old trick in the entertainment industry?
As long as you don't admit it, your fans will deceive themselves and help you clarify things.

And as long as you keep producing good works, you can attract fans.

"Oh, by the way, I'm planning to release a song called 'Late September' in a while. I've already registered the copyright."

Agent Li: "Judging from the song title, you're releasing it at the end of September?"

"That's right, it's been a long time since I released a new song. I plan to release two singles at the end of September and in December respectively."

Agent Li: "Okay. Oh, and I'm going to have dinner with Mr. Zhang from OPPO Mobile in a few days."

Lin Shaobai nodded.

The two chatted about work the whole way, and passed by Xin Xinzi along the way.

Xin Xinzi watched Lin Shaobai walk past her with a very envious expression.

"My songs keep getting more and more popular, and I became famous overnight. When will I be able to make a hit movie every time?"

"Hu Yitian became famous after just one drama. Why am I still not famous even though I've filmed so many dramas?"

"what."

Xin Xinzi was extremely distressed.

"Being a nobody is bad enough, but to be criticized is even worse."

"Forget it, I'll just go and complain to Meng Ziyi."

Actually, if you ask me who I'm a die-hard fan of, I really can't say. I feel like I like them all. ˊˋ
