Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 136 135 2018 MAMA Meeting with Bae Joo-hyun

Chapter 136 135 2018 MAMA Meeting with Bae Joo-hyun (6K)

"what?"

Meng Ziyi asked sincerely, "Am I really a terrible singer? Are you just joking with me?"

Lin Shaobai sighed helplessly, "Uh. Has no one ever told you that you sing terribly before?"

"No." Meng Ziyi had a beautiful and shrewd face, but her eyes and tone were so "pure and innocent".

"No one has ever said that you are the first."

"Oh……"

"Of course, it's also possible that you think my singing is bad because you're a professional singer. After all, professionals like you tend to nitpick."

"What does this have to do with being a professional..."

"For ordinary people like us, as long as our singing is passable, it's fine. But you guys might be a little stricter. Oh well, whatever, it's up to you. But I was lucky..."

Meng Ziyi started selecting songs on the screen: "It's not easy to be invited by a top celebrity to sing a duet together."

Lin Shaobai: "Let's sing 'Tante'."

Meng Ziyi's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Lin Shaobai with a bitter smile.

A moment later, he uttered the word "get lost".

At that moment, the waiter crept over furtively outside the door.

"Isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate? Aren't we eavesdropping on their privacy?"

"It's okay if it's just for a moment."

"So what did you hear?"

"I think I heard a 'roll' sound."

"roll."

"Ah."

"I told you to get lost. Is Lin Shaobai the kind of person who would say such a thing?"

"He's a human being too, how can he not swear?"

"What are you two doing?"

A short while later, the general manager of the KTV came over.

"Hello, manager."

"Listening through the door? Do you two still want to do this job?"

"No. Manager, there are special circumstances surrounding this room."

"what?!"

"Don't get excited, there's a celebrity in it."

"what?"

The manager had just started work and knew nothing about Lin Shaobai's affairs.

"Lin Shaobai, Lin Shaobai is in this private room now."

"Oh……"

The general manager walked over and pulled the two waiters away.

"Neither Lin Shaobai nor Lin Laobai is a reason for us to stand here. Let's go."

"..."

At this moment, Lin Shaobai, who was inside the private room, seemed to have sensed the situation outside.

He stopped saying a word when people got close.

I just wanted to see what was going on outside.

Meng Ziyi, this silly girl, was completely unaware of what was happening outside and kept switching songs.

"Little Dimples... This song is recommended the most, but it's not really suitable."

"The next song that was strongly recommended was 'I Have to Love You.' But that won't work either; it's too inappropriate to sing this with Lin Shaobai."

"Today You're Going to Marry Me... Only someone with a screw loose would sing this song."

"The Summer Breeze"... This song is good, it's quite refreshing and suitable for singing.

After Meng Ziyi finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Shaobai and found that he was staring at the door.

"Hey big star, you've been staring at the door the whole time and not even looking at me? Am I really that unlikable?"

Lin Shaobai came to his senses: "It's nothing, I just felt someone at the door."

Mencius said, "Terrible, you even have superhuman senses!"

"Now that everything's alright, let's go sing a song."

"Well... before that, I have another request."

"Tell me, besides the V300 million ones."

"Oh dear. This time it's not, this time it's 400 million."

Lin Shaobai: "..."

"Okay, just kidding. Of course, I wouldn't mind if you actually gave it to me."

"..."

Lin Shaobai really couldn't take it anymore.

It's been three million from beginning to end.

He walked over and snapped his fingers at Meng Ziyi's forehead.

Just a gentle touch.

If it were a man, Lin Shaobai could unleash all his life's skills.

"Ouch!" Meng Ziyi exaggeratedly rubbed her forehead where Lin Shaobai had flicked her finger earlier: "Are you sick?"

She glanced at Li Shaobai with a hint of resentment, but didn't say anything more afterward.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt or itch.

"I was just thinking of adding each other as friends. What do you think I'm up to?"

Meng Ziyi took out her phone: "Someone like me, if things continue like this, I feel like I'll never meet a top star like you in two lifetimes. I'll never have the chance to get your contact information. Since you're already in front of me, I certainly can't miss this opportunity."

Lin Shaobai: "Mm."

"By the way, there's one more thing. Were you sincere about what you just said?"

Meng Ziyi looked at Lin Shaobai's number on her phone and suddenly blurted out a question.

Lin Shaobai: "It's all true. I think it's really unnecessary to judge a person based on a variety show."

Mencius said, "That's really good."

"what?"

“I said if everyone online thought the same way you do, I wouldn’t be getting insulted like dog shit every day.”

"You really do have a way of saying that..."

"But whatever, let it be. I didn't expect to make a name for myself anyway, just earn a little money would be fine. I've been burdened with such a huge stigma since the beginning, and almost no one likes me, how could I possibly still come out into the industry?"

Lin Shaobai watched as Meng Ziyi gradually lowered her head, looking extremely dejected.

He reached out to gently pat Meng Ziyi's shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Meng Ziyi realized this and retreated to avoid it.

Lin Shaobai's hand remained awkwardly frozen in mid-air.

"You're so famous now, I have to be careful about myself all the time."

"..."

"There's no need to touch it like that."

"I just wanted to pat you on the shoulder, what were you thinking?"

"Oh! He just wanted to pat me on the shoulder and give me a fright!"

Meng Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned closer again: "It's just a pat on the shoulder, come on, pat me!"

Lin Shaobai: (￣.￣)
I really feel like Sister Meng has some mental issues now.

Perhaps he drank too much and his true nature was revealed.

"Pfft. Is being a top celebrity these days really this fun? If I hadn't been in such close contact with you, I wouldn't have known you were this kind of person."

"Dong dong dong."

"boss……"

Assistant Xiao Liu suddenly opened the door to the private room, interrupting their conversation.

Meng Ziyi looked at his assistant Xiao Liu strangely, then at Lin Shaobai.

"Boss, it's time to go back."

Assistant Xiao Liu hesitated for a long time outside the door, but finally decided to call Lin Shaobai out as soon as possible.

It's too late and people will gossip about it.

Rumors are flying everywhere.

"And Sister Li also said she needs to talk to you about something."

"Okay, I see."

Assistant Xiao Liu quickly closed the door to the private room.

He turned around and saw two waiters hiding in the distance.

The two waiters, realizing they had been discovered, were too embarrassed to hide any longer and slowly walked over.

"Um, excuse me, are you sure what's inside..."

One of the waitresses got so gossipy that she wanted to ask directly, but luckily another one pinched her arm in time.

Asking endless questions is really annoying.

This involves customer privacy.

"Ready to pay the bill."

"Okay okay."

Lin Shaobai also packed up his things and left Meng Ziyi's private room.

Before leaving, Meng Ziyi suddenly ran over, her high heels making a particularly loud clattering sound.

"Brother Lin Shaobai, you can't forget me. You are my only top-tier friend. You can't forget me."

Meng Ziyi blinked his big eyes and said.

"...Does it really have to be a younger brother?"

"I'm older than you, so isn't it only natural for me to call you 'little brother'? If you're really not happy about it, then call me 'Sister Meng'!"

Lin Shaobai laughed, sounding annoyed.

"You absolutely can't forget me, and remember me too... Hey! Are you trying to flick my forehead again?!"

Seeing Lin Shaobai raise his hand to cover Meng Ziyi's forehead, Meng Ziyi took a step back, but fell down again because her leg got stuck in the sofa.

This woman can not only fall on flat ground, but she can also fall backwards.

Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong.

"I'm leaving. By the way, Sister Meng, believe me, if you can get through this period, you'll be famous in the future."

Lin Shaobai left those words and then closed the door to the KTV room.

He quickly left with his assistant, Xiao Liu.

Meng Ziyi was still lying limply on the sofa.

"What...what did he mean by that?"

Does this mean I'll become famous in the future?

"How could that be? My public image has already collapsed to the extreme. No one is worse off than me."

"Oh, no. Yu Shuxin should... but she's not as miserable as me. Never mind, there's no point in comparing misery."

"But Lin Shaobai, he..."

Mencius thought he was a muddle-headed person.

Prior to this, there was practically no opportunity for Lin Shaowai to get to know him.

She could only watch this top star from outside the screen.

Sometimes I feel envious when I see videos showing a blue ocean of fans.

I wonder when she will be able to have such a situation.

However, he quickly regained his senses.

I probably won't become a top star in my lifetime, but at least I can be an actress with choices.

Aside from her close friends and family, no one else would encourage or support her amidst the overwhelming rumors and insults online.

Unexpectedly, it was Lin Shaobai who was willing to say these things to her.

"I didn't realize he was such a nice person."

……

The following day, the song "Mohe Dance Hall" was released on the Tencent Music platform.

Given Lin Shaobai's status, every time he releases a new song, it inevitably gets a top-tier recommendation.

As soon as you open a music streaming app, you're greeted with Lin Shaobai's songs, and there's even a splash screen for them.

His fans quickly pushed his songs to the top of Weibo's trending topics.

When a popular artist releases a song, the initial buzz is indeed very high because fans generate data for him.

But whether a song can stay in people's hearts ultimately depends on the quality of the song.

Needless to say, this song has its merits to have become a hit.

Everyone admires Lin Shaobai's songwriting ability.

[Lin Shaobai is not only a good actor, but also a great songwriter. And to make matters worse, he's handsome!] [Upstairs, you're mainly saying he's handsome, how superficial!]

I'm telling the truth. After all, someone with so many talents is bound to become famous.

Everyone should really listen to this song, it's really good.

This song is based on a true story, and it includes a love story. Anyway, I looked into it, and it's quite touching.

This song has a beautiful melody, a strong narrative and vivid imagery, and coupled with Lin Shaobai's popularity, it would be unrealistic for it not to become a hit.

Lin Shaobai's new songs are always on the hot song charts and new song charts.

The local cultural and tourism bureau even specifically contacted relevant staff to discuss cooperation with Lin Shaobai.

They continuously used this song as background music for promotion, combining it with various nostalgic images to spread the word and further promote the development of local culture and tourism.

This song went viral on short video platforms, with related topics on Douyin garnering over 12.8 billion views in just two days.

Numerous bloggers have also begun to analyze the reasons for the song's popularity.

And so, Lin Shaobai has once again become a hot celebrity.

To this end, he also went to Penguin Music's company for a related interview.

The TV series "Ashes of Love," starring him, was awarded the honors of Phenomenon of the Year and TV Series of the Year at the 9th Internet Entertainment Awards.

Lin Shaobai was unable to accept the award due to a work conflict, so Yang Zi accepted it on behalf of the crew.

He really didn't have time because he had to attend the MAMA event hosted by Xiaohan.

South Korea has several major music awards, including MAMA, MMA, Golden Disc Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.

The fact that Lin Shaobai was able to be an award presenter alongside Yang Tianbao, who became famous because of Running Man, shows that he has real popularity and buzz during the Xiaohan period.

Among so many actresses born in the 1980s, only Yang Tianbao became famous because of variety shows, which is quite remarkable.

Lin Shaobai took a plane to Hong Kong early in the morning for rehearsals, and the global live broadcast officially began that evening.

Before the evening performance begins, there is a red carpet ceremony where invited boy and girl groups walk down the red carpet and take photos in the photo area.

Lin Shaobai and Yang Tianbao appeared side by side, with Yang Tianbao appearing first, followed by Lin Shaobai.

Wearing a sharp suit, his upright figure captivated some young people who were meeting him for the first time.

"Oh mo oh mo".

"What a handsome guy! He's a handsome guy from China."

"Wow, I think he's more handsome than the guys in our country."

"Okay, okay, keep your voice down."

Following the staff's instructions, Lin Shaobai walked onto the red carpet, arrived at the photo area, and waved to the photographer in front of him.

The flashes here are noticeably stronger than before.

Even so, try not to blink, otherwise it would be embarrassing to have a photo of you rolling your eyes.

The clip of him walking the red carpet live was quickly posted on Weibo by his fans in China.

The hashtag #LinShaobaiAttendsMAMA# quickly climbed to third place on Weibo's trending topics list.

His handsome face quickly sparked widespread discussion.

Wow, Lin Shaobai has really brought glory to China!

Only a face like Lin Shaobai's could be considered for international use.

Ideally, someone with a handsome face would represent our nation.

Now everyone knows how beneficial it is to send Lin Shaobai to the MAMA awards, right?

[How come Lin Shaobai seems even more handsome than before? He seems to change his handsomeness every day!]

He's incredibly handsome. I've met him in person, and he's definitely 800 times more handsome than he appears on camera.

There were a dozen more amazing pictures tonight.

After walking the red carpet, Lin Shaobai and Yang Tianbao were in their private lounge.

Today, the Chinese entertainment industry only invited these two to be award presenters.

Yang Tianbao was not familiar with Lin Shaobai before, and most of his knowledge of him came from the internet.

Now that the two of them are in the same room, it is indeed a bit awkward not to chat.

"By the way, is Xiaolin filming recently? I've seen people online saying you're a workaholic, spending almost the entire year on set."

Yang Tianbao took the initiative to speak to Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai was still rummaging through his bag when he heard this. He looked up at Yang Tianbao and smiled, "Yes. Indeed, I've been filming recently, but it will be wrapped up soon."

"You are indeed ambitious. By the way, have you thought about finding a partner? I know a few people I can introduce you to."

"what?"

Lin Shaobai wondered if he could actually ask this question directly.

Isn't this a bit too lacking in boundaries?

Yang Tianbao gave a slightly awkward smile after seeing Lin Shaobai's surprised expression.

"Oh, I was just kidding, sorry. It's because I have a few very outstanding girls here."

Lin Shaobai did not answer the question again.

I'm not familiar with Yang Tianbao, so why should I tell her?

Yang Tianbao is in charge of presenting the award for Best Performing Girl Group today.

She doesn't know who will ultimately win, but she knows people on the nomination list.

"ddududdudu" by Black pink.

BLACKPINK needs no introduction; they're a globally popular girl group.

With fans all over the world, they are an officially recognized group that reached the top.

The Red Velvet Art Troupe's "Bad Boy".

Red Velvet Art Troupe is a girl group under SM Entertainment, the same group as Bae Joo-hyun, the fourth-generation visual icon. She is the leader and the eldest member.

The competition in the fourth generation was quite fierce. Whether one could become a top performer really depended on the right timing, location, and people – all three were indispensable.

Compared to the distinct styles of TWICE and BLACKPINK next door, the Red Velvet Art Troupe appears somewhat more complex.

Although they couldn't compete with those two groups in terms of strength and achievements, they still left their mark on the history of fourth-generation girl groups.

locelyz's "Tharday"

AoA's "Bingle Bangle"

Oh My Girl (Secret Garden)

Of course, there's also the famous girl group Twice.

These are all known girl groups nominated for the Best Dance Performance Girl Group award.

The award presented by Lin Shaobai was also a very prestigious one: Best Song of the Year.

The song nominated is "What is Love" by TWICE.

This song has indeed become the representative song of this energetic girl group.

Their boss is really good at writing songs.

Next up was BTS's "Fake Love".

BLACKPINK's "ddududdudu"

iKON's "Love Scenario"

MAMAMOO - Starry Night

It was like a battle of gods.

Yang Tianbao has always been a fan of Han Han's group, and she expressed her admiration for G-Dragon a long time ago.

G-Dragon is her idol, and the Running Man production team even invited him to her side.

Lin Shaobai knew something about the Cold Clan, but certainly not as much as Yang Tianbao.

He sat alone in his seat, quietly looking at the list of nominees, and silently reciting the lines given by the authorities.

"I saw that you went to Northeast China for fun a few days ago?"

While browsing videos, Yang Tianbao accidentally came across photos of Lin Shaobai traveling in Northeast China.

Some passersby took photos of Lin Shaobai playing in the snow and posted them online, sparking heated discussions.

"That's right. Because something happened to the film crew, I was relatively free for a few days, so I went to the three northeastern provinces for fun."

"I used to enjoy traveling to the three northeastern provinces in winter. I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't had time to travel."

"Ah."

“I have a relative who really likes you; she even has a standee of the character Xu Feng that you played in her room.”

"is it?"

"Yes. I was shocked when I went to her room before."

After a brief chat, Lin Shaobai left the room and strolled around the corridor.

The entire route was filled with boy and girl groups wearing exquisite makeup.

Because Lin Shaobai is a foreigner, he is currently more attractive.

"That's supposedly the most popular young star in China right now."

"Yes. Otherwise, we wouldn't have invited him. Just think how popular 'Ashes of Love' is in our country."

"Yes."

When Lin Shaobai reached the end of the corridor, he ran into Bae Joo-hyun from the girl group Red Velvet.

That is, what everyone calls Sister Pei.

In 2018, Bae Ji-hye was at the peak of her beauty; she was so beautiful that even other girl groups of the same era would praise her.

Lin Shaobai was indeed somewhat shocked when he saw her.

There are no flaws in this face.

He's just a bit short, only 1.58 meters tall.

She has the face of a mature woman who is 1.7 meters tall, but she is only 1.58 meters tall, which is quite a contrast.

She has a rather girlish and cute personality in private.

Bae Joo-hyun is easily startled.

I was startled when I opened the door and saw a man standing there.

"Oh my god!!!"

Startled, she quickly closed the door, pretending she hadn't come out.

Actually, Lin Shaobai was just wandering around aimlessly because he was bored, and ended up here.
They had no idea that Bae Joo-hyun was in there.

Bae Joo-hyun, who had just closed the door, stared wide-eyed.

Looking back at her fellow group member, Kang Seulgi.

"I feel like I just saw Lin Shaobai."

The drama "Ashes of Love" became a huge hit in South Korea, and Bae Joo-hyun, who watched the show, also developed a certain fondness for Lin Shaobai, which was a kind of simple admiration.

So I'm still quite shocked to see Lin Shaobai at the door.

Kang Seulgi clearly didn't quite believe it either.

"Really? You actually saw him at our room door? Are you hallucinating, sister?"

"It doesn't seem so. Let me open the door again and take another look."

And so, Bae Joo-hyun carefully opened the door to the room again, and after seeing the corner of Lin Shaobai's clothes, she slammed it shut again!

She turned around and looked at Kang Seulgi with wide eyes: "It really is."

"Then let's open the door, it's a bit impolite to do it like this."

"No, no, wait, wait, I'm a little nervous."

"Sis, don't be nervous, just open the door."

It's really not good to leave people standing outside.

You can't just leave someone hanging because they're shy or nervous.

After about two minutes of arguing, the door in front of Lin Shaobai slowly opened.

Lin Shaobai was thinking that since they had already seen each other, it would be a bit inappropriate to suddenly leave.
I didn't expect to stay at the door for so long.

As the door slowly opened, Bae Joo-hyun, now with exquisite makeup, stood before Lin Shaobai.

Her teammate Kang Seulgi was also there.

When we saw Lin Shaobai, we immediately greeted him gently and politely.

"Ani Hi Seyo".

Lin Shaobai also replied.

How did I get here?

Bae Joo-hyun asked him with a smile.

"Oh, I'm just strolling around here."

People born during the Lesser Cold period naturally wouldn't understand what "strolling around" means.
The two looked at each other.

Lin Shaobai immediately explained, "It's a dialect we use. It roughly means to take a walk when you're bored."

"Oh……"

At this point, the atmosphere became awkward because no one knew what to talk about anymore, since they weren't very familiar with each other.
