Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 138, Section 137: Senior Sister, this is the snowman I built for you.

Zhou Ye stood quietly by the window, staring downstairs.

The falling snowflakes had already lifted her spirits, but she never expected that there would be a fool downstairs who would build her a snowman.

The expression on the chubby snowman was invented by Zhou Ye when he first started building snowmen. Lin Shaobai was just standing next to him at the time, but who would have thought that he would remember that cheeky yet cute expression?

Zhou Ye wondered if Lin Shaobai built the snowman because she was in a bad mood recently.

No boy has ever built a snowman for her since she was a child.

I never imagined that the first person I met in my life would be today's top influencer!
Is it to make yourself happy?

Zhou Ye took out his phone and took a picture of the cute snowman, then sent it to Lin Shaobai.

It's this snowman.

Does this snowman look familiar?

[You built this.]

Yes. I saw you made this before, and since you like using this emoji, I drew it on for you.

Snowflakes were falling heavily outside the window, and Zhou Ye slowly gazed into the distance, as if searching for something he had lost.

A deep feeling welled up in her heart.

Zhou Ye slowly dialed Lin Shaobai's number.

"Hey."

"Senior sister, you finally answered my call! What's been going on lately?"

Aside from filming, Zhou Ye has recently wanted to isolate himself in a small room.

I don't want to communicate with anyone.

It does resemble some of Qiao Yingzi's symptoms at the time.

Lin Shaobai had called Zhou Ye before, but the call was either hung up or not answered.

Zhou Ye's situation in the film crew wasn't very good either.

"I just……"

Upon hearing those three words, Lin Shaobai felt there was hope. Finally, they were willing to express their thoughts, which was a step forward!
"I'm just a little sad about Qiao Yingzi. I feel that the child is sick... As the actress who plays her, I can't help but be affected. It just happened inexplicably recently, I don't know why. Shaobai, if I made you feel bad before, I apologize. Because I couldn't control myself either."

"It's nothing, you didn't do anything serious to me. I'm just worried about you, worried about your condition."

"When we were filming 'Better Days,' I cried every day because my character did so many bad things in the show. I never thought that when I was on the set of 'A Little Reunion,' I would cry again because the pressure on this child was too much. Why am I such a crybaby?"

"Being prone to crying means you have a soft heart and a sensitive soul. It's not a flaw; it's normal to release emotions through crying when you're feeling hurt. It's okay."

"Ah."

Zhou Ye always thought Lin Shaobai was good at comforting people.

I remember a friend who, whenever she complained, would be told, "Why do you always cry?"

Crying won't solve the problem.

That's certainly true, but nobody solves problems by crying.

It's just that sometimes people are in too much pain and need to vent through tears.

"It's okay. Just tell me if you feel any discomfort."

"Ah."

Lin Shaobai, on the other end of the phone, heard his senior sister sniffle twice.

"Cried?"

"No, I just think you're great. And then I probably cried because my feelings for you were over."

"Is the relationship over?"

"Oh no, yes, the emotions are right."

Zhou Ye was amused by Lin Shaobai's words.

At the same time, I realized that what I said was really terrible.

Is the relationship over?

nonono.

Thank you. I will definitely remember tonight.

I remember this warm, snowy night tonight.

After being comforted tonight, Zhou Ye's condition has indeed improved a lot.

Lin Shaobai sat in the corner, silently watching him. Seeing that she was finally able to smile and was much happier, he felt happy for her too.

Ugh.

What a worrying senior sister.

"Hey!"

"????"

Just as Lin Shaobai was engrossed in watching, Guo Zifan suddenly ran up from behind and patted him on the shoulder.

"You've been staring at Zhou Ye the whole time. You little rascal..."

Guo Zifan looked at Lin Shaobai with gossipy, squinty eyes.

Lin Shaobai: "Yes, you have a problem? You have a problem?"

"Oh my god. So blunt. I haven't even said anything yet, have I?"

"I know what you're going to say, so I'll just tell you directly."

"Alright, alright. Even if you don't tell me, I can guess the general idea myself."

Guo Zifan also looked at Zhou Ye, who was standing in the distance: "You two started dating in your freshman year, and the first semester of your sophomore year is over... You've spent quite a bit of time together, which is understandable. But you're being too obvious, staring at each other every day. Aren't you afraid of rumors spreading?"

Lin Shaobai remained silent.

He thought to himself, "Let it spread. What famous celebrity doesn't have scandals?"

It's all a mix of truth and falsehood, but as long as there's no concrete evidence, there's not much to worry about with relationships.

And even if it's proven true, it's not a big deal as long as they don't admit it.

Things will work themselves out in the end; just relax and keep a calm mindset.

Guo Zifan: "Hey kid, are you going to Hunan TV's New Year's Eve Gala again this year?"

Lin Shaobai: "Mm."

Guo Zifan: "Give me a ticket."

"Why don't you buy this yourself?!"

"Why are you getting so worked up?!"

"Why is the noise so loud all of a sudden?" Sha Zhanteng walked over at this moment.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Shaobai and Guo Zifan with great puzzlement.

"Don't fight, we can't fight, let's get along amicably."

"No quarrel."

"That's fine."

"It was just a verbal argument."

"This is even more wrong, isn't it?!"

While Guo Zifan and Sha Zhantang were talking, Lin Shaobai turned his head again to look at Zhou Ye in the distance.

Seeing her having so much fun with the other actresses, I felt inexplicably relieved.

Previously, my senior sister would spend most of her time sitting alone in a corner, her disappointment and frustration clearly visible.

it's better now.

……

Lin Shaobai was filming on set until the last day of December.

During this time, the people around him finished filming one by one.

Later, he flew to Hunan TV to rehearse for two New Year's Eve concerts.

He now performs his New Year's Eve concert on Hunan TV every year.

He will be performing two new songs this year.

Hunan TV, following its usual practice, invited a large number of singers, including TFBOYS, Zhang Xingxing, Hua Fashi, Liang Jingru (Queen of Love Songs), Xu Jiaying, Yu Wenwen, Jin Zhiwen, Cheng Xiao, and the Super-Vocal group.
Also, there are several leading actors from the recently popular dramas, including Feng Xiaogang, Zhao Liying, and Zhu Yilong, as well as the hottest girl group this year, Rocket Girls 101.

Sister Mountain Breeze, Yang Zi.

Shen Yue and Wang Hedi from "Dear Inn".

At this time, Wang Hedi was not popular, and in fact, he was being criticized quite harshly.

Who knew that he would later rise to the top with just one film, "The Legend of Canglan".

There's also a large group of guests who are less famous but heavily promoted by Hunan TV. Hunan TV always seems to promote some of their own artists.

Let them appear on variety shows to gain exposure, or let them play minor roles in your furniture.

Basically, it's just about constantly feeding resources.

On the morning of December 31st, Lin Shaobai flew to Hunan TV. After a final rehearsal in the afternoon, he waited for the live broadcast that evening.

Before the live broadcast officially started, he opened his laptop and wrote a paper in the backstage lounge.

That's right, college students can't escape writing papers at the end of the semester.

However, he is still a sophomore, so his paper is a bit simpler.

Even so, I still had to finish writing it by January 2nd.

Zhang Jingyi is currently busy at home working on her thesis.

In between finishing her thesis, she would turn on the TV as background noise.

Such a half-hearted state is not usually seen in a top student like her, but since Lin Shaobai is performing at the New Year's Eve gala, she decided to take a closer look.

After writing several thousand words, Zhang Jingyi's eyes felt a little dry, so she took off her thin-rimmed glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth.

When her family members came to her side, Zhang Jingyi smiled gently at them and said, "Mom."

"Aren't your eyes hurting from looking at the computer all this time? Should you take a break?"

"No need, my paper is due soon. If I don't finish it, I might fail the course, and retaking the exam is a real pain."

"Have you ever retaken the exam?"

"Of course I didn't retake the exam."

"Oh……"

While wiping her glasses, Zhang Jingyi glanced at the Mango app again.

The live stream hasn't started yet; currently, the live stream room is only available for reservation.

Zhang Jingyi previously had the mindset of an old cadre.

I rarely go online, and even when I do, it's usually just to watch how the older generation of actors acted.

Only after falling in love with Lin Shaobai did she choose to learn more about him, and she would watch whenever Lin Shaobai was around.

Whether it's a TV series, a movie, a variety show, or even a gala, she will watch all the parts that Lin Shaobai is in.

During this time, many celebrities from Hunan TV came over to greet Lin Shaobai.

The first one is Zhao Xiaodao.

Zhao Xiaodao arrived early and, being bored, decided to chat with Lin Shaobai.

She was also carrying a high-quality gift box.

"Xiaolin, this is a New Year's gift for you."

Sister Zhao is quite adept at navigating interpersonal relationships.

Lin Shaobai stood up, took the gift, and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you, Sister Zhao."

"It's alright, you're welcome. The song you sang for 'The Story of Minglan' is really popular now, and we're all very happy. In fact, Shaofeng and I will ask you for advice on how to sing that song later."

There are many versions of the song "Do You Know?", and the male and female leads of a TV series must sing one of them.

"Yes. Sister Zhao, I'll visit you there sometime, bringing some gifts."

"Go, go, go."

After a brief chat, Lin Shaobai returned to his laptop to write his thesis.

A short while later, Cheng Xiao arrived.

The way she looked at Lin Shaobai was clearly different from how Zhao Xiaodao looked at Lin Shaobai before.

There was a strong sense of ambiguity in the woman's eyes.

At that moment, Xiao Liu, the assistant who was playing games in the corner, immediately lowered his head upon seeing this.

I think I know a bit about Xiao Liu, the celebrity assistant who works for the boss.

A short while later, Assistant Xiao Liu left the room.

Cheng Xiao slowly approached Lin Shaobai only after seeing the door tightly closed.

"I mean, are all top celebrities this careless? They just ignore anyone who comes to them?"

Lin Shaobai turned to look at her: "Didn't you see I'm busy writing my thesis? If I don't submit it, I'll fail the course. Besides, I haven't done anything wrong by writing this thesis."

Cheng Xiao: "I almost forgot, although our Shao Bai is already a super popular top star, he is still a 19-year-old sophomore in college."

After she finished speaking, she bent down slightly and deliberately got closer to Lin Shaobai.

He stood right in front of her face, without saying a word, his smile still on his face.

Lin Shaobai was concentrating on writing his thesis, but because the other person was too close, he had no choice but to stop what he was doing.

"It's been a long time. Do you remember when we last met?"

"Can not remember."

"How disappointing! I don't even know when we last met. It seems you don't take me seriously at all."

"It's not like you know when we first met."

"What a coincidence, I didn't know either."

Lin Shaobai sighed silently.

"Then you say... um?"

Lin Shaobai was speaking when this Miss Cheng kissed his cheek again.

They're really bold.

In a bustling and star-studded venue like Hunan TV's New Year's Eve Gala, he actually took the initiative to kiss her.

Cheng Xiao was shy for a moment after the kiss, but quickly returned to normal.

"Haven't you made a move after all this time, you big shot? Or should I call you Mr. Big Shot?"

"Dong dong."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a moment later Zhang Xingxing walked in.

I thought Lin Shaobai was the only one in this lounge, but I didn't expect there to be a woman inside.

Fortunately, all three of them knew each other, otherwise it would have been really awkward.

Zhang Xingxing went in and greeted the two people.

"Cheng Xiao, you're here too?"

"Yes. I've come to see Lin Shaobai about something."

Zhang Xingxing quickly went over and chatted briefly with Lin Shaobai about his new song.

Cheng Xiao kept backing away.

It wouldn't be good for me to get involved in their conversation.

Watching the two of them chatting reminded her of the days when they trained and studied together on "Idol Producer".

That period was arguably the happiest time of Cheng Xiao's life.

Although teaching those trainees can be physically and mentally exhausting at times...

After the show ended, I felt very reluctant to leave.

I am also very grateful to the variety show "Idol Producer" for giving me the opportunity to be on a big stage and have a better chance to perform.

"By the way, how about we go out for a meal sometime?"

After finishing his conversation with Lin Shaobai, Zhang Xingxing turned to look at Cheng Xiao.

“Okay, I have no problem with that, but I’m afraid our Lin Dingliu won’t be willing to go.”

Lin Shaobai frowned: "Why do you say I don't want to go?"

Cheng Xiao: "I'm just afraid you'll look down on me. After all, I'm just a very small actor."

Lin Shaobai looked at her quietly for a while, then said irritably, "You're deliberately setting a trap for me to fall into."

"That's right, I could tell too."

Zhang Xingxing smiled.

"Speaking of which, after the huge success of 'Idol Producer,' iQiyi launched a new boy group talent show called 'Youth With You,' selecting a bunch of kids for the group audition. It's scheduled to air in January 2019."

Lin Shaobai knew this was a flop variety show.

It's fair to say that after its premiere, it flopped so badly that nobody cared.

If he were to become a mentor, he would choose the phenomenal hit girl group talent show, "Youth With You Season 2".

I felt unwell after taking some medicine, so I'll just write 4000 words.
