Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 98, Section 97: After becoming famous, I got flirted with even more (5K)

The next day
Lin Shaobai received a message from Reba in the morning.

Open the door.

Lin Shaobai groggily got out of bed.

[Open the door]

Dilraba then posted the exact same three words.

Lin Shaobai found her strange. Had she slept all night and her mind was foggy?
After wrapping himself in his pajamas, he opened his bedroom door and saw Dilraba and her assistant standing outside.

Lin Shaobai: "Sister Reba, what brings you here so early?"

Dilraba: "I'm leaving soon, so I came to say goodbye."

Lin Shaobai: "Oh..."

Dilraba: "I just feel like we're quite similar."

Lin Shaobai: "Okay."

"One last hug." Dilraba opened her arms and hugged Lin Shaobai.

The hug lingered for a few extra seconds.

Lin Shaobai also stretched out his arms and hugged Reba.

"All right."

After a while, Reba took the initiative to get out of Lin Shaobai's arms, smiled slightly at him, and said, "I didn't expect that we two would be so destined. See you again sometime."

Lin Shaobai nodded.

We'll definitely meet again.

After all, they are both top celebrities, to the point that they sit together at every major gala.

After Dilraba left, Lin Shaobai stayed here for two more days with his assistant and staff.

Finally, they flew back to China to record a new episode of Produce Camp 101.

This is the fourth task assessment that we will be recording.

The program team specially invited six senior students to assist the trainees in completing the stage performance.

After all, he's a senior student; first of all, he has to be handsome, and secondly, he has to be capable.

Therefore, Lin Shaobai and Wang Yibo, who were even teachers on the show, were invited to be senior students.

Before the six senior students arrived, the production team recorded their voices and had the trainees guess who they were.

Huang Zitao: "Each of the six celebrity seniors left you a secret message."

"Oh haha!!"

The young girls were incredibly excited.

Huang Zitao: "Let's listen to the first recording together."

"Hello, girls from Produce 101. They all say I'm a warm guy because I'm a bit of a homebody. I usually like to stay home and draw, and I enjoy watching anime and cartoons that interest me..."

The first one was Xiao Zhan, but unfortunately he wasn't very popular at the time, so none of the trainees present could guess who he was.

"Who is this? I have no idea."

"The voice is quite sweet, but I can't guess it."

"Who knows who he is?"

"I only like Teacher Wang Han, who knows anything about young male idols?!"

The trainees present were all confused.

Xiao Zhan later chose the song "I'm Just That Kind of Girl" to be paired with Meng Meiqi.

Huang Zitao: "Can everyone guess who it is?"

"Is it Xiao Zhan?"

"Oh, it does look a bit like him. It seems to be him."

Huang Zitao: "Those who want to choose this senior, please stand up and come to the stage to choose your favorite item. Think about what might be a gift from this senior."

In front of these 36 trainees are three cabinets, on which are displayed items brought by six celebrity seniors according to their own personality traits.

Once the corresponding items are selected, they will be automatically grouped together.

Several girls immediately stood up to make their choices.

Huang Zitao: "Come on, let's listen to the second voice."

This time it was finally Lin Shaobai's turn.

"Hello, girls from Produce 101."

As soon as the words were spoken, almost all 36 girls stood up and screamed!

“Oh my god!!”

"Lin Shaobai!!!"

"It's definitely him!! His voice is so distinctive!"

"Phoenix."

"She can act and sing, amazing! She's an all-rounder!"

"I want Lin Shaobai!"

"Teacher Lin~~~"

Lin Shaobai already had immense popularity on the show, and it only grew even more after Ashes of Love aired.

A super popular mentor, plus a super popular celebrity senior.

"Guess who I am? If you ask me what I like to do in my spare time, I probably like to exercise."

Lin Shaobai's voice continued to play, and the girls were incredibly excited, looking like infatuated fans.

"It's definitely Teacher Lin Shaobai. Teacher Lin Shaobai has been really into weightlifting lately."

"Lin Jutie."

After the audio finished playing, everyone realized it was their mentor, Kobayashi.

Huang Zitao: "Those who want to choose this celebrity senior, please stand up."

Almost all the girls present stood up, the place was incredibly popular, and after they had chosen their items, they lined up in a row.

Huang Zitao: "I'm telling you now, this celebrity senior is the gentle, cheerful, and humorous Lin Shaobai, who can write songs, act, and is a creative genius! And among you, only those who chose barbells, sunglasses, headphones, and spicy snacks will be in his group."

Lin Shaobai chose the song "Living Up to Youth".

Finally, we'll be performing a show together with Yang Chaoyue's team.

Soon, the six celebrity seniors who were invited to the event formed their teams.

The six celebrity seniors are Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Hu Yitian, Lin Shaobai, Xiong Ziqi, and Da Xunhua.

Da Xunhua is quite a novel person.

He had always been in a lukewarm state, mainly active in the variety show "Who's the Murderer".

When I think of him, the only thing that comes to mind is that he used to be a 200-pound fat man, and then he went on a crazy diet to get down to where he is now.

However, his facial features were not very refined.

Actors in idol dramas are easily criticized for being ugly.

Just kidding, the entertainment industry is full of handsome men and beautiful women with exquisite features, so his appearance is definitely not popular.

Who knew that he would later become famous for playing a domineering CEO in that toxic drama?

His portrayal of the domineering CEO, who is polite and mentally sound, immediately captivated a wide audience of netizens with this novel type of president.

Her acting skills have been described by netizens as transformative.

Of all these people, Lin Shaobai is definitely the most popular and has the biggest online following.

It's an undeniable fact that he became a top star.

Judging from the reactions of the 36 trainees on site, it's clear that Lin Shaobai is well-liked by everyone.

And coincidentally, he was assigned to the same group as Chaoyue.

When they arrived at the practice room at the time specified by the program team, they found that the practice room was empty.

Lin Shaobai was a little confused.

They're practicing before the match!

Why can't I see anyone?
"Why is no one here?" Lin Shaobai looked at the staff in the distance. "Where are my students?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a strange voice called out, "Teacher Lin," came from somewhere.

It sounds like a Minion's voice changing.

Lin Shaobai could hear the sound but couldn't see where the person was.

After a while, he put his hands behind his back and said helplessly, "Come out, stop hiding, I can already see you."

He didn't actually see them; he was just using this method to scare them.

Soon, the six students from Lin Shaobai's group came out.

Yang Chaoyue was the one who was slightly more familiar with Lin Shaobai.

A little girl with pigtails next to Yang Chaoyue suddenly said to Lin Shaobai, "Hey Teacher Lin, ever since I met you, my teeth have started to hurt."

Lin Shaobai was confused: "Why is it that my tooth is starting to hurt?"

"Because being with you is so sweet!!"

"what!"

Lin Shaobai was charmed by these cheesy pickup lines and could only laugh awkwardly.

The other girls were incredibly excited, finding it really fun to flirt with Lin Shaobai!
Then another person said, "Teacher Lin! I want to ask, do you know which god I like the most?"

Lin Shaobai: "What god? The God of Wealth? Want to make money?"

"No, it's your eyes!!!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Lin Shaobai has been tricked again.

"Wow! That's really interesting."

A barrage of cheesy pickup lines.

Then another beautiful female trainee appeared.

"Teacher Lin! Can I sing a song with you?"

"what?"

"If the Moon Didn't Come." I became a fan of yours because of this song, and I really want to be in a group with you.

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Okay, I understand."

He went over and grabbed his guitar: "Come on, let's sing a duet."

Yang Chaoyue: "They all say the teacher is very strict, but I never expected that the teacher would sing with us."

Lin Shaobai: "No, who said I'm super strict?"

Yang Chaoyue: "Everyone."

"Nonsense, I'm not strict at all. I'm very humane." Lin Shaobai even recalled whether his previous teaching style was very humane, and later it was confirmed that he was indeed very humane.

The pretty female trainee who had just wanted to sing a duet suddenly walked towards Lin Shaobai.

She tripped and fell just as she was about to reach him, landing face down next to Lin Shaobai's legs. Yang Chaoyue and the others rushed over to help her up, but she kept pushing them away.

"Go back! Go back! Don't come over and help me!"

"No, you don't want to!"

"Don't help me up!"

"I need Teacher Lin to help me!"

"You went too far! What a blatant dunk!"

"A staged accident!!"

Lin Shaobai was at a loss as to what to do with these girls.

They're all such drama queens!

Lin Shaobai bent down and helped the girl up, then sang a short duet with her, "If the Moon Didn't Come."

"So annoying, I'm working overtime until really late again."

"You boarded the empty one."

"The last subway train has arrived."

"It's so frustrating that we have to separate even though we love each other so much."

"I can't understand love."

"It's so frustrating how hard it is to get close to my ideal."

Yet, I'm still very unwilling to accept it.

……

Lin Shaobai put away his guitar and then had the six girls line up in a row: "Alright, stand still, let's start class."

Yang Chaoyue: "I feel that our group is definitely very popular and will definitely win first place."

Lin Shaobai: "Tsk, you're supposed to be in class, why are you saying such pointless things?"

Yang Chaoyue: "Because I feel that as long as Teacher Lin stands there, people will scream for you. Even if she's just a pretty face, she can still electrify the whole audience!"

"Correct!"

Lin Shaobai was almost unable to hold back his laughter as these people teased him with their words.

After he became a sensation, even more trainees started flirting with him.

"Alright!" Seeing that there wasn't enough time for practice, Lin Shaobai raised his voice twice as loud: "You really need to practice properly, don't you guys still have dance practice to do?!"

"Ok!"

After some effort, the practice finally got into progress.

After two hours of training, the other trainees left with their bags.

Only Yang Chaoyue was still holed up in the practice room watching songs.

She was second in the last ranking, while Meng Meiqi was first.

She knew in her heart that Meng Meiqi had the confidence and strength to stand there, but she didn't.

When your abilities and popularity don't match, you'll feel this insecure.

Just like actors.

To be an actor, you need to have works to show for it, otherwise you'll feel insecure standing on stage.

Yang Chaoyue knew her own limitations very well.

In terms of ability, she doesn't deserve such a high position at all.

Singing is no good, dancing is no good either.

Her lack of self-confidence stems from her lack of ability.

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Lin Shaobai walked towards her with his hands behind his back.

Yang Chaoyue tidied her sweat-drenched hair: "I want to practice a little longer."

Lin Shaobai: "Everyone else has gone home for dinner, aren't you leaving yet?"

Yang Chaoyue shook her head: "No, I can't sing, and I can't dance. I don't want to hold everyone back. I'll stay as the team leader."

She never wanted to be the team leader.

However, due to his immense popularity, he could only become the team leader.

After becoming the team leader, she practiced dancing diligently, but unfortunately, her singing was still not good enough.

Lin Shaobai: "Alright then, sing me a couple of lines."

"Don't admire the afterglow, don't grieve."

"Go for it with all your might, because youth is too precious, there's no chance."

"Uh, you're off-key. Stop, stop, stop. Do you know you can't sing it right?" Lin Shaobai stood next to Yang Chaoyue and looked down at her.

Yang Chaoyue leaned weakly against the wall: "I know, but I've been trying so hard to remember what that song felt like?"

She looked at me with a sincere expression, blinking her big eyes.

Lin Shaobai didn't know what to say to her.

"I can actually stop the lyrics, but I can't stop the beat. My last one was a complete disaster, and I don't want to do that again this time."

Lin Shaobai squatted down and came to her side.

Yang Chaoyue: "I have been practicing all along. I have not been slacking off, but I still sing wrong on stage, which makes me very frustrated. I can actually sing quite well in private, but when it's time to sing on stage, I really don't know what to do."

After listening to so much, Lin Shaobai quickly summarized Yang Chaoyue's problem.

Yes, that's right, it's because they lack talent.

He's not suited for singing.

Some people are just not suited to singing, some are just not suited to dancing, and some are just not suited to studying. There's no way to say it.

The main point is that even if Yang Chaoyue isn't good at singing and dancing in the future, it won't prevent her from becoming the most popular person in that group.

Although she came in third place, she was more popular than the first and second place winners.

And it's several times more popular!
Lin Shaobai couldn't possibly tell her this directly.

"I'm really afraid of dragging others down, and then I'll become a burden to them in the future."

Lin Shaobai thought about it carefully and felt that Yang Chaoyue hadn't really dragged anyone down since her debut.

"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself; learning always takes time."

"You can't possibly become like those who have studied for several years in just a few months. If you could master it in just a few months, what would become of all the years of hard work and sweat they've put in, right?"

Yang Chaoyue turned to look at Lin Shaobai, and the two stared at each other in silence.

"Teacher Lin, I feel that you are sometimes very strict, and sometimes you are very nice. I don't know why."

“We can’t always be strict, and we can’t always be so lenient with you. You’re here to sing, dance and learn. Since it’s about learning, we can’t always use the same teaching method.”

Lin Shaobai smiled.

Yang Chaoyue was having a good chat, but she suddenly couldn't hold back when she saw Lin Shaobai's smile.

Overwhelmed by stress, she broke down emotionally, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

There were still a few staff members at the farthest point, and everyone was originally preparing to finish work.

Upon seeing this, they stopped what they were doing.

"Oh no!! I'm about to break down. If I don't sing well, I'm going to lose it."

Yang Chaoyue immediately lay down on the ground and rolled over.

Lin Shaobai: "Be strong, Yang Chaoyue. So many people like you."

Yang Chaoyue: "Teacher Lin, are you trying to tell me that crying won't solve anything?"

Lin Shaobai: "I didn't say that. Nobody solves problems by crying; crying is just a way to release emotions. Releasing emotions is understandable."

"Teacher Lin, can I hug you?"

"Come on, come on."

Seeing Yang Chaoyue so emotionally broken and pitiful, Lin Shaobai opened his arms and hugged her.

"Your foundation is weak, but you have to work hard. You can't possibly surpass them in such a short time. All the blood and sweat they've put in over the years was worth it, understand?"

"Ah."

Yang Chaoyue rested in Lin Shaobai's arms for a while.

Although she didn't say it aloud, she felt the warmth of Lin Shaobai's embrace.

It feels especially reassuring to be in this embrace.

So warm.

Yang Chaoyue thought to herself.

“I feel so sorry for my fans because other people’s idols are shining brightly, while their idols are trembling on stage. I don’t want them to be wronged, and I want to present a good performance.”

Yang Chaoyue said, nestled in Lin Shaobai's arms.

Lin Shaobai knew there were cameras filming, so he didn't dare to hug too tightly.

It was a friendly, open hug, with Yang Chaoyue holding him tightly.

"I figured it out!"

After a while, Yang Chaoyue suddenly threw a punch.

Originally intending to create a passionate image, he unexpectedly punched Lin Shaobai in the chin.

"puff."

Lin Shaobai tilted his head back.

Yang Chaoyue: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Teacher Lin. I didn't think that much about it, I...I..."

"Alright, it's nothing." Lin Shaobai rubbed his chin, which had been hit, and said helplessly, "Go on."

Yang Chaoyue: "Anyway, I've made up my mind. Even if I collapse on stage, I will still finish singing this song."

"Can't you say something nice? You just want us to have a stage accident? What kind of situation would make you collapse on stage?!"

"Haha, that's true."

Yang Chaoyue was amused by Lin Shaobai's words.

After being comforted like this, Yang Chaoyue felt much better, wiped away her tears, and continued dancing.

As Lin Shaobai got up to leave, he ran into Hu Yitian, who worked at the same company.

Xiao Hu could have become the top player on the Hua side, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by Lin Shaobai.

With the sudden emergence of "Ashes of Love," no one could stop him from becoming the top male star in the Huaxi region.

Now, when you open the company's official website, the first artist displayed is Lin Shaobai's picture.

This is someone who will be able to lead the company in the future!

Hu Yitian took the initiative to greet Lin Shaobai: "Teacher Lin."

Lin Shaobai: "How's your practice going?"

Hu Yitian: "That's good. How about Teacher Lin?"

Lin Shaobai: "It's alright, I just finished comforting a crybaby."
