Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 17.17. Senior Sister Came to Watch the Match Again
Soon, the voting by the 51-member professional judging panel concluded.

Host Hua Shao raised the microphone and faced the camera: "Currently, Lin Shaobai from Zhou Jielun's team and Xie Huixian from Na Ying's team have a professional music judges score of 48 to 3!!!!"

If the score difference between the professional judges on a show like "The Voice of China" is too large, such as a score of more than forty points to a few points, it is definitely a "massacre" of one side by the other.

Originally, the champion of this season's program, Zaxi from Liu Huan's team, had a score of 45 to 6 in the round-robin battle royale.

"It's a pity that Xie Huixian from Na Ying's team lost this round."

After he finished speaking, sad music began to play.

It's the kind of background music that's exclusively for those who get eliminated.

The host asked the eliminated contestant to give her thoughts, and Yingzi then said some words of comfort to her.

Soon, the floor where the eliminated contestant was located slowly descended, and they were completely removed from the stage.

"But at this moment, let's congratulate Jay Chou! Would you please come up on stage and celebrate with your student? Congratulations, Jay Chou, and your student Lin Shaobai!!!"

"Let's give a round of applause to Lin Shaobai, the winner of the first round!!"

Jay Chou made a special trip down from the mentor's seat and went over to hug Lin Shaobai.

Jay Chou: "You're amazing, Shao Bai, you're amazing. You're really talented."

Lin Shaobai smiled and nodded: "Thank you, teacher."

Before leaving, Jay Chou suddenly stopped Lin Shaobai and the two whispered to each other: "By the way, are you going to do an original song again for the next team battle?"

Lin Shaobai: "Mm."

"Oh?" Jay Chou was a little surprised. He pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said, "Okay, keep it up."

Lin Shaobai turned and walked toward the Bridge of Honor, which was specially prepared for those who advanced, with the host's congratulatory voice echoing behind him.

"Congratulations Lin Shaobai!! You're only one step away from the finals at the Bird's Nest!"

[As of now, Na Ying's team has eight members, Zhou Jielun's team has nine members, Liu Huan's team has nine members, and Chen Yixun's team has nine members.]

……

……

……

Not long after Lin Shaobai left the TV station, he ran into his senior sister Zhou Ye again.

Zhou Ye suddenly blocked his way: "Hey, junior brother, what a coincidence. I'm also an audience member."

"Can the audience leave midway through?"

"I can't come out, but I can say I need to use the restroom. He can't force me to, right? Hmm?" Zhou Ye said with his hands on his hips, looking particularly lively.

"You're going to use the toilet outdoors? That's uncivilized, senior sister," Lin Shaobai joked.

"Of course not! You're just trying to annoy me, aren't you!" Zhou Ye tossed his long hair. "By the way, this song is also your original composition."

Zhou Ye blocked Lin Shaobai's path firmly, determined not to let him leave.

"Yes."

"Wow, why didn't you apply to a music academy? You went to the Beijing Film Academy instead!"

"To be an actor..." Lin Shaobai paused for a moment.

It's all because actors are more famous than singers!
If you're a singer and you don't reach an exceptionally high level, who will remember you?

Leaving aside the veteran superstars, among the younger female singers, Zhang Bichen and Deng Ziqi are quite famous, while among the male singers, there are Zhou Shen and Xue Zhiqian.

Although Bruno Mars has been criticized and ridiculed a lot, it is undeniable that he has a huge following.

According to fans, their idol is a top-tier figure in the Chinese music scene.

"I like being an actor."

Compared to that, being an actor is definitely more enjoyable.

They earn a lot of money, and it's very easy to rise to fame. A single drama can make them famous all over the country, and they get one commercial endorsement after another.

To become a singer, what level do you need to reach, and how many hit songs do you need to produce to become a big star?
Moreover, it's possible that the song will be popular but the singer won't.

Otherwise, Liu Yuning started as an online celebrity streamer, gained some fame, sang OSTs for TV dramas, and later chose to act in various historical romance dramas. Of course, she was also heavily criticized for it.

He was mainly criticized by the woman's fans.

No one would want to go to see a man and woman whose appearances are so different.

Actually, he looks alright in modern clothes, but he might not be really suited for period dramas.

"I think you're really amazing. As an actor, it's one thing to sing well, but you can also compose! You're a truly talented actor," Zhou Ye said with a smile.

Lin Shaobai: "Thank you for the compliment, senior sister. But I don't have time to chat with you any longer, I have to rush to film."

Seeing Lin Shaobai about to leave again, Zhou Ye felt as if his heart had been clenched.

She was completely out of her mind at that moment, and her hand instinctively reached out to grab Lin Shaobai's arm.

"Snap!"

Lin Shaobai immediately stopped, feeling as if time itself had stood still.

He turned around and looked at Zhou Ye's profile.

The cool night air flowed by like a gentle breeze, occasionally brushing against her face.

It's wonderfully imperceptible, like velvet brushing against your face.

"Is there anything else, Senior Sister?"

"Ah...uh...no!"

Zhou Ye first looked at the hand he was holding tightly to Lin Shaobai's, then quickly pulled it away, his unease visibly palpable.

She blinked her bright, watery eyes, looked to the left, then to the right, but never looked at the man standing in front of her.

Is there anything else you want to say to me?

"I...I don't know why I suddenly stopped you."

"Oh, I see, you want my autograph." Lin Shaobai made a joke to ease the tension.

"what??"

Sure enough, Zhou Ye returned to normal in the next second, as confident as ever.

"You're so narcissistic, Lin Shaobai! Why are you always like this? You get all excited just because you're given a little encouragement!"

"Who was it that claimed to be my fan?"

"I... I said it was just a tentative arrangement. Tentative, do you understand what 'tentative' means?!"

"That's true. Fans are fans. If you want an autograph, just say so. Why be so coy? I've always been very good to my fans."

As Lin Shaobai spoke, he pulled a pen out of his pocket, seemingly intending to write his name on Zhou Ye's body.

"Stop!" Zhou Ye pointed at Lin Shaobai's face: "Don't get too close to me."

Because she could feel her heart beating faster and faster, she didn't want Lin Shaobai to get any closer.

"In short, congratulations on advancing to the next round. If I remember correctly, the next match is the intra-group competition."

"..."

"Of course I still hope that you can go further and further and bring glory to our Beijing Film Academy. You are representing our Beijing Film Academy in this competition."

"Is it that mysterious? I just happen to be a student at Beijing Film Academy, not someone who can represent Beijing Film Academy in the competition."

"……all in all……"

Zhou Ye suddenly turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said in a much softer voice, "I really enjoy listening to you sing. I hope you have more opportunities to sing."

"Let's go!!!"

Without waiting for Lin Shaobai's response, he ran straight into the TV station.

Lin Shaobai kept staring at his senior sister's back until she completely disappeared from his sight.
