Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 121, Section 120: Zhang Jingyi decides to ask Zhou Ye for clarification (5K)

Even when she was having dinner in the cafeteria that evening, Zhang Jingyi was still thinking about what her female classmate had said.

Zhou Ye and Lin Shaobai?

The two of them were filming a movie.

Filming is understandable.

Did Shao Bai help her?

I'll help; it's understandable for friends to help each other...

Every time Zhang Jingyi raised a question, she secretly compromised in her heart.

Her fluctuating emotions left her feeling very conflicted.

The princess has always been indecisive, from childhood to adulthood.

That's why she looks so soft and harmless.

The princess ordered a bowl of beef noodles, but because she kept thinking about this, the noodles became soggy.

I stirred it with my chopsticks, and it didn't taste as good as when I first ordered it.

Zhang Jingyi rested her face on her hand and happened to see that female classmate again. She got up and pulled the classmate to her side.

"Zhang Jingyi? Are you inviting me to dinner?"

The female student said with a smile.

"Could you tell me more about what we talked about in class?" Zhang Jingyi asked gently.

Female classmate: "You're interested in this? I was just curious, but I didn't expect you to... Oh, I get it, you're a fan of Lin Shaobai, right? If he gets a girlfriend, you'll stop being a fan?!"

This thought process is truly something else.

The princess didn't explain anything: "That's me, I just didn't hear clearly at the time."

Female classmate: "Okay, let's sit down and talk."

The man immediately brought the food to the princess's table.

Female classmate: "Anyway, my friend said that Lin Shaobai and Zhou Ye's relationship is a bit different. To be honest, my impression of Senior Sister Zhou Ye was still based on her face, but this time I have a new idea. So that's what kind of person she is."

The more the princess listened, the more upset she became.

"But that makes sense. Someone as young and handsome as Lin Shaobai, a top star, would have countless women wanting to throw themselves at him. I never thought Zhou Ye would be the first."

Zhang Jingyi: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. They're just friends."

The female student was stunned.

"I don't know the specifics, but that's what my friend told me. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. You usually only focus on studying, I didn't expect you to pay attention to these things. But then again, Lin Shaobai is the most popular male celebrity right now, it's normal for you to like him."

Zhang Jingyi didn't say anything more, but silently finished the noodles in her bowl.

It tastes awful...

That's how it is in school cafeterias; whichever restaurant is the best goes out of business.

Even before he confessed his feelings, Zhang Jingyi sensed that Lin Shaobai had different feelings for Zhou Ye, and Zhou Ye seemed to feel the same way about Lin Shaobai...

"It shouldn't be. Neither of them."

"Shao Bai isn't that kind of person. I have to trust him."

Zhang Jingyi took a deep breath and decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

I'll go to the library to study instead.

Meanwhile, Lin Shaobai and Zhou Ye continued filming on set.

In the senior year of high school, every school holds a pep rally. On this day, students' parents also attend the rally and listen to the teachers speak with their children.

There are many other activities as well.

Activities like those at Chunfeng Middle School involve writing your wishes on balloons and then releasing them.

Lin Shaobai's scenes have been filmed; next up are Zhou Ye's scenes.

"Action!!"

The character she plays, Qiao Yingzi, is a girl who loves aerospace engineering but has absolutely no interest in getting into Tsinghua or Peking University, but her mother keeps pressuring her.

Sha Zhantang held a large pink balloon and wrote his blessings for his daughter on it with a marker.

"I wish Yingzi all the best in getting into the aerospace engineering program."

After Sha Zhantang finished writing, he handed the balloon to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye: "Thank you, Dad."

Tao Hong, standing in the middle, suddenly took the marker from Sha Zhantang's hand: "Wait a minute, let's add another sentence, just write, 'I will definitely get 700 points!'"

Zhou Ye's smile froze instantly, and he looked somewhat unwilling.

But she was too embarrassed to say it, after all, it was her mother.

That extremely controlling mother.

Later, mustering up the courage, he said impatiently, "Mom, people write down their wishes, what's the point of you writing down your test scores? I'm not writing it."

Tao Hong: "How can test scores not be considered a wish? Think about it, can you get into Tsinghua or Peking University without 700 points? Right now you're just hovering around 650 points."

650 points is already very high...

It can only be said that Song Qian's expectations for her daughter in the story of "A Little Reunion" are too high.

I feel like my daughter is only alive to get into Tsinghua or Peking University; nothing else matters.

Tao Hong insisted on writing her wish on the pink balloon.

"Come on, listen to Mom, write it down, write it down, write it down!! Let's give it our all."

Zhou Ye's face was full of pain and reluctance: "Mom, that's your wish, not mine. You write it yourself, I'm not writing it."

Tao Hong still refused to listen to her daughter's thoughts and was very forceful.

Sha Zhantang stood to the side, serving as a mere backdrop throughout.

Lin Shaobai stood behind the camera the whole time, watching them act alongside the director.

This mother really doesn't understand her daughter; Yingzi will break down one day.

In real life, the relationship between parents and children is difficult to explain in just a few words, but at the very least, parents should show respect for their children's personality.

If even this is not possible, then there is nothing more to say between the two.

"Yingzi, listen to your mother, let's not worry about others—"

"I won't listen! I won't write!"

Zhou Ye didn't bother to listen to another word and interrupted Tao Hong's speech.

The two then began to argue.

“Oh dear, Yingzi, write it down.”

"I won't write! I won't write, don't force me, so many people are watching."

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, Sha Zhantang finally intervened and said, "If the child doesn't want to write, don't force him."

Tao Hong pushed him away, saying, "Go away and mind your own business."

Tao Hong kept shoving the pink balloon into Zhou Ye's hands.

"Mom, I really won't write it. Can you please stop imposing your ideas on me?"

"Write."

"Stop making a scene here."

The two were fighting over the pink balloon, and the pressure caused it to burst!

"Bang" sound.

It seemed to break down Yingzi's psychological defenses at that moment.

All eyes turned to them; children at this age are quite concerned about their image.

Zhou Ye lowered his head in utter dejection, tears welling in his eyes.

Her little face was scrunched up, looking pitiful.

A moment later, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Tao Hong looked at Zhou Ye with eyes full of heartache. She wanted to reach out and wipe away his tears, but she was afraid of being rejected.

The awkward thing is that Zhou Ye dodged her hand when she reached out.

The three of them stood there awkwardly for about five seconds.

Neither of them spoke.

Zhou Ye's heart was beating very fast.

Feelings of grievance, anger, and helplessness welled up inside me.

Her acting is quite good; she conveys all those emotions through her eyes.

Regardless of what others say, Lin Shaobai, standing behind the camera, saw everything clearly.

Zhou Ye sniffled, still looking aggrieved.

"Great card!!"

The director clapped his hands.

Such a long shot was completed in one take; everyone cooperated very well.

After the director yelled "cut," Zhou Ye quickly wiped the tears from his face.

Zhou Ye could truly understand Qiao Yingzi's feelings at that moment.

This feeling of being controlled and forced is one of resentment.

Tears flowed freely without needing to be forced out.

Zhou Ye and teacher Sha Zhantang came behind the camera to check on the filming, and everyone was very satisfied.

"Alright, alright, next round!!"

The staff in the distance were shouting.

Lin Shaobai casually handed some snacks to his senior sister.

Zhou Ye hugged him tightly and smiled happily at him: "Oh, that's so thoughtful."

Lin Shaobai: "After all, I know you're a foodie."

"Even though I'm a foodie, I'm a cute foodie."

"He's a stupid glutton."

"Lin Shaobai!"

Hearing the other person's tone, Lin Shaobai wisely ran away.

He's taking another day off tomorrow to shoot the cover of the November issue of "Men's Fashion" magazine.

Back at the hotel that evening, he quietly packed his things.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Ye sat on the sofa in his room reading the script.

This girl reads scripts every day.

She was acting alongside some senior actors, so she couldn't afford to make any mistakes with the script or lines.

Regardless, as an actor, you should at least memorize your lines.

Otherwise, that would be going too far.

Using numbers instead of a script, or even worse, not reading the script at all!

"Qiao Yingzi..." Zhou Ye held the script behind his back, walked with his chest out and head held high, and at this moment he really had the feeling of a literary scholar.

Lin Shaobai was a little stunned when he saw her like this after he finished packing.

"Senior sister, are you cosplaying here?"

"What kind of cosplay?" "Playing a scholar?"

"Hey!" Zhou Ye's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested. "I actually have that interest. I want to act in period dramas. I'd even be willing to dress as a woman. I suddenly want to act in period dramas!"

Lin Shaobai: "Both of the dramas you filmed are in modern costumes and are related to school."

"Yes. Sometimes people need to try things they've never done before."

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, he turned to Lin Shaobai and said in a coquettish tone, "So Shaobai, do you understand what I really want?"

My senior sister loves to act cute and charming. Sometimes when she asks someone for a favor, she naturally acts cute and charming.

Her way of acting cute is neither annoying nor does it seem overly affected.

"Tsk tsk, is this how you ask for a favor?" Lin Shaobai joked with her on purpose.

Zhou Ye was stunned.

"what?"

"I'd have to think carefully about just using a cutesy trick."

"Alright then, tell me. Name your condition, and I'll agree."

"Will you agree to whatever I say?"

"That's terrifying. Your words are making me overthink."

Zhou Ye took a step back and accidentally bumped into the wall.

Lin Shaobai smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll make a request."

He bent down slightly and whispered his thoughts in Zhou Ye's ear.

Zhou Ye's originally calm face instantly turned red upon hearing Lin Shaobai's words!
She stamped her little foot anxiously, then pushed Lin Shaobai away with all her might.

"I knew you couldn't come up with anything good; all you could think about was that!"

Zhou Ye was extremely shy, but he still went to the bathroom to take a shower in a sullen mood.

A moment later, the sound of rushing water came from inside.

Lin Shaobai stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the closed bathroom door. He always thought his senior sister, who had blushed, was especially cute.

After a night of "hard work," Lin Shaobai went to shoot for a fashion magazine.

Zhou Ye continued filming on set.

Zhang Jingyi, on the other hand, is still living the life of a college student.

She chose to travel during the National Day holiday.

Aside from her studies, she also loves nature and traveling.

The princess yearns for freedom, which makes interpersonal relationships a major headache for her.

The complexities of human nature always baffled her, but being in contact with nature made her feel physically and mentally happy.

She went to see the snow-capped mountains by herself with her suitcase and took many photos there.

I shared it with Lin Shaobai immediately.

Actually, the matter with Senior Sister Zhou Ye was still a knot in her heart, but seeing the scenery before her made her feel much better.

She reached the top of the mountain and called Lin Shaobai, but unfortunately the call was disconnected.

I've been hung up on before, but I've never felt this panicked.

Zhang Jingyi even started fantasizing that Lin Shaobai would be with Zhou Ye when he wasn't answering the phone.

"Sigh. Really. I don't want to think about it anymore."

The princess sat on a nearby rock, holding her phone, her head bowed.

My boyfriend is so popular and handsome, it's really worrying.

During the National Day holiday in October 2018, a major event also occurred in the Chinese entertainment industry.

That is, the top female celebrity Fan Bingbing got into trouble.

Everyone knows what happened.

Looking back on that incident, Fan Da Pang must have regretted most that he offended the famous commentator Lao Cui.

Oh, no, to be precise, she posted a Weibo post showing off some beautiful photos.

This must be the Weibo post she regrets the most in her life.

If this incident hadn't happened, she would probably still be at the forefront internationally and at the forefront of domestic actresses.

She's beautiful and talented; her future prospects are terrifying.

At the end of October, the Huading Awards announced its shortlist.

This is Lin Shaobai's first time being nominated for a mainstream award as an actor.

Lin Shaobai was nominated for Best Actor in a Chinese Costume Drama for his role as Xu Feng in "Ashes of Love".

He was nominated along with Xiao Ruan from "Legend of Fuyao".

This guy later became famous again with a movie called "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

In addition, there is Zhou Yumin's "The Flame's Daughter".

Huang Xuan's *Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy*

Fu Xinbo's *Gu Jian Qi Tan II*

His longtime co-star Yang Zi was also nominated for Best Actress in a Chinese Costume Drama for her role as the female lead in "Ashes of Love".

After the Huading Awards announced its list of nominees, Lin Shaobai's fans quickly started collecting data.

They flooded the Weibo post announcing the official announcement with comments and likes.

Passersby who clicked on the comments of that Weibo post would always see Lin Shaobai.

Congratulations to Kobayashi on his Best Actor nomination.

[Congratulations, Xiao Lin, you've been chosen by Heaven!]

Congratulations to Lin Shaobai on his nomination for Best Actor in a Chinese Historical Drama.

[Xu Feng's acting was excellent! Support Lin Shaobai!!]

The Huading Awards are certainly not as prestigious as the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, or Magnolia Awards, but it was still Lin Shaobai's first nomination as an actor, so it's worth commemorating.

After finishing his magazine shoot, Lin Shaobai immediately returned to the film set to film.

His daily schedule is extremely tight and busy; being a top star is not so simple.

On the last day of the National Day holiday, Zhou Ye returned to school to finish up some coursework he hadn't completed.

She took a laptop and stayed in the library, quietly typing away on the keyboard.

After a while, Zhang Jingyi came over and tapped on her table.

"Dang Dang Dang."

Zhou Ye looked up and met the princess's gaze.

There was an inexplicable awkwardness and spark between the two.

It's been a long time since I last saw Zhang Jingyi.

The two of them aren't even that close, so why would she contact me at this time? (_)
Zhou Ye couldn't understand it.

She tilted her head slightly, her confusion clearly visible.

"Excuse me?"

Zhang Jingyi's expression was calm as she spoke softly, "Senior sister."

"Ah."

"Do you have some time? I'd like to go outside and talk to you."

"Um... okay, can you wait for me for half an hour? I need to hand in my homework first. The main reason I came back to school this time is to hand in my homework."

Zhou Ye spoke his true thoughts.

Zhang Jingyi nodded in agreement and then left the library with her bag on her back.

About half an hour later, Zhou Ye appeared in front of Zhang Jingyi with a notebook.

If you say you'll be here for half an hour, then you'll be here for half an hour. People should keep their promises.

Zhou Ye: "Junior sister, is there something you need? We haven't seen each other in a long time."

Zhang Jingyi took a deep breath and nodded: "Mm."

Zhou Ye carried her laptop bag, her hands behind her back, her face still beaming with a cheerful and optimistic smile.

"So, what exactly happened?"

"I heard that you've been filming a movie lately, right?" Zhang Jingyi asked.

Zhou Ye: "Yes."

"That...that...that...is it related to...is it?"

Zhang Jingyi stammered and hesitated for a long time before she could finish speaking, which made the listeners quite anxious.

Every time she hesitated, Zhou Ye frowned.

After all, my senior sister isn't that kind of person; she rarely speaks like that.

"What exactly do you want?"

"..."

I held it in for a while longer.

Zhou Ye looked at Zhang Jingyi and couldn't bring himself to say anything, so he could only find an excuse to leave first.

"Sorry, I actually have something urgent to attend to and need to leave urgently. Bye-bye."

Just as Zhou Ye turned around, Zhang Jingyi spoke up: "You and Lin Shaobai..."

But after saying only five words, he stopped.

But those five words were enough to make her senior sister stop and continue talking to her.

Zhou Ye froze in place as if struck by a pressure point, only slowly turning his head five seconds later.

"What did you say?"

"You and Lin Shaobai..."

Zhang Jingyi's heart rate is higher than before.

"Yes, that's right. Lin Shaobai and I are both filming that movie. It seems you know quite a bit about it, Junior Sister Zhang."

Zhou Ye didn't think about it from any other angle, and she didn't know about the relationship between Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi had someone tipping her off, but she had no one on her side.

Zhang Jingyi: "Then...you..."

Zhang Jingyi wanted to ask, "What is your relationship?"

However, I felt that this statement was a bit too abrupt and would be considered very impolite.

Moreover, it's really not a good idea to ask that question.

When asking, you can't let the other person know that you and Lin Shaobai are in a romantic relationship.

This identity as the girlfriend of a top celebrity must never be known to anyone else.

Zhou Ye had the same idea.

"I'm just filming a movie with him, so don't get the wrong idea."

Zhou Ye then added this sentence, afraid that Zhang Jingyi might misunderstand.

That's right, the first thing both of them thought about was not to expose their relationship with Lin Shaobai.
