Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 174, Section 173: Zhou Ye: You're the one who interfered in our relationship (6K)

"Ok?"

Liu Yuxin looked completely bewildered.

Would anyone even come to this shabby, tiny dance studio?

When she turned her head again, she found that Kong Xueer next to her had covered her mouth and looked incredulous.

What are you doing?
Inexplicable.

"Are you two Liu Yuxin and Kong Xueer?"

After his assistant, Xiao Liu, opened the door, Lin Shaobai came in. He took a few steps forward and asked.

If a strange man suddenly walks in and asks for your name, anyone would think twice.

Kong Xueer and Liu Yuxin looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kong Xueer originally thought that the person in front of her was the popular celebrity Lin Shaobai.

But after hearing that, I had a little bit of doubt.

Kong Xueer wondered how Lin Shaobai knew about her.

She's such an obscure person, nobody would recognize her if she were on the street.

They're Lady Bees, a girl group formed through a talent show, but who knows who they are?
They call it their debut, but what's the difference between that and not debuting at all?

"Yes." After a moment, Liu Yuxin nodded: "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, hello, I'm Lin Shaobai."

Lin Shaobai took off his hat and mask, revealing his face.

"sky!"

Kong Xueer covered her mouth again after seeing Lin Shaobai.

She really likes to cover her mouth to express surprise.

In comparison, her companion Liu Yuxin was much more mature and composed.

I was equally shocked.

Is it possible to see top-tier, popular domestic celebrities in a place like this?

Did you come here specifically for this purpose?

really not easy.

Could it be that this stale mess is finally going to have its day, and that Lin Shaobai has actually come to know about it?

"Is it really Lin Shaobai?"

Kong Xueer slowly approached Lin Shaobai, carefully observing his face.

Lin Shaobai put his hands behind his back, trying his best to suppress his laughter.

As Kong Xueer blinked her eyes, she turned to Liu Yuxin and said, "Yuxin! It really is Lin Shaobai."

Liu Yuxin was speechless: "Headache, could it be fake?"

The two relatively unknown celebrities naturally felt a bit socially awkward and nervous when they saw a top star like Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai gestured with his hand, and his assistant, Xiao Liu, quickly handed over the milk tea he had bought.

I bought it on the way.

"Oh, thank you."

After taking the milk tea, Liu Yuxin looked at Lin Shaobai and asked, "Teacher Lin, how did you suddenly find this place?"

"I specifically asked my assistant to check where you guys practice dancing... Ahem, I wanted to ask, your contract should be expiring soon, right? What are your plans for the future?"

Liu Yuxin and Kong Xueer both sighed when the matter was brought up.

They have been working hard towards their dreams, learning to sing, learning to dance...

Years of trainee life have enabled them to reach the A standard in their professional skills.

It just lacks a platform.

"Our group is going to disband."

Liu Yuxin is a person with lofty ambitions.

She was very disappointed that her team had disbanded.

Before I could make a name for myself, this is how it all ends.

What opportunities will there be to sing and dance after that?
I can no longer make something of myself or repay my parents...

Have you ever thought about joining my company?

Lin Shaobai asked.

"Ok?"

Liu Yuxin's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Teacher Lin, what did you say?"

"I've started a company called Baichen Entertainment. If you're willing to join my company, I'll send you to participate in the girl group talent show 'Youth With You Season 2' which is about to be released on iQiyi."

Kong Xueer and Liu Yuxin knew that most of the girls who participated in these girl group talent shows were sent by their companies.

Individual trainees, without the abilities of Cai Kunkun and a formidable group of followers, have no chance of making it big.

Lin Shaobai, who doesn't know him?

She has been a rising star in the entertainment industry since 2017 and has now firmly established herself as a top celebrity.

Although the company has just been established, with such a boss, its future is at least better than it is now.

These two were also confused before.

My current company is unreliable, and my girl group has terminated their contract. What should I do?
"But Teacher Lin, Tencent... they've also launched a talent show called 'Produce Camp.' Would Tencent's be better?"

"I'm worried," Kong Xueer said.

This kiwi fruit factory has produced talent shows like "Idol Producer," which were hugely popular across the country, but they've never produced a girl group.

There's only one girl group talent show produced by Tencent that was very popular: "Produce 101".

Lin Shaobai expressed his understanding.

Without the memory of the future, who could have imagined that of the two girl group talent shows launched at the same time, "Youth With You Season 2" would be so much more popular than "Produce Camp 2020"?

People tend to form preconceived notions.

I fell in love with "Youth With You Season 2" first, and then I was too lazy to watch the later episodes of "Produce Camp".

Even those trainees who participated in "Youth With You Season 2" still generated some buzz during the show's run, even if they didn't debut.

Even those who participated in "Produce Camp 2020" didn't generate much buzz after debuting.

At the time of the broadcast, fans of the two shows were locked in a fierce battle.

Upon hearing Kong Xueer's words, Liu Yuxin immediately patted her on the shoulder.

Whatever Teacher Lin says goes, so why is it our turn to make the choice?

They haven't even signed a contract yet, and they're already discussing it here?

Liu Yuxin gestured for Kong Xueer to stand back, while she would communicate with Lin Shaobai.

"Teacher Lin, is it really okay?"

"Of course, believe me. I did some research on you before I came here. Your professional skills are up to standard, you just lack a platform to showcase your singing and dancing skills, and 'Youth With You Season 2' is just such a platform."

Seeing Lin Shaobai's determination, Liu Yuxin felt a weight lifted from her heart.

Before this, she was worried about what to do.

It's true what they say, things will work themselves out.

It's amazing that he got to collaborate with Lin Shaobai, a top-tier celebrity.

Kong Xueer's eyes reddened when she heard Lin Shaobai say those words, and she was about to cry.

Liu Yuxin: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying? You're acting like a little kid."

Kong Xueer: "I just didn't expect that we would actually be seen, let alone by Teacher Lin. I thought no one would notice our stage."

Lin Shaobai turned to look at his assistant, Xiao Liu, who had been standing to the side as a background figure.

Even Xiao Liu, the assistant at the moment, couldn't see what the future held for the two girls standing in front of him.

But the only thing she was sure of was that her boss had good judgment.

He always manages to pick scripts that are popular and can boost his career.

So judging people should be the same, right?
After Kong Xueer calmed down, Lin Shaobai continued to talk to them about some things related to the contract.

Those two are currently in a period of confusion and are also looking to switch platforms.

Lin Shaobai needs traffic like Liu Yuxin to make money for the company.

After leaving the dance studio, Lin Shaobai put on a baseball cap and mask again.

Assistant Xiao Liu asked him, "Boss, I didn't expect your first contract to be with an idol? Are you planning to develop an idol company, like SM or JYP?"

"Oh, you know about these two companies too?"

"Boss, what kind of person am I in your eyes? I occasionally follow K-pop groups, but not often."

Assistant Xiao Liu sighed, revealing the weariness of a working person: "By the way, boss, how did things go last time?"

"What's the matter?"

Lin Shaobai turned around and stopped in the stairwell.

Assistant Xiao Liu: "It's...it's about when you went to Beijing, Zhang Jingyi, wasn't she...that..."

It's not good to say everything.

"Oh, you said this."

Lin Shaobai continued downstairs, and his assistant, Xiao Liu, quickly followed.

"Boss, do you need my help?"

"Help? You want to help? What can you do for me?"

Lin Shaobai smiled helplessly.

"Um……"

Xiao Liu fell into deep thought.

It seems there's really nothing I can do to help.

This matter is really giving Lin Shaobai a headache.

At that moment, Kong Xueer, who was in the dance studio, saw Lin Shaobai walk away through the window and quickly ran to Liu Yuxin, excitedly saying, "Yuxin, Lin Shaobai has actually taken a liking to us!"

Liu Yuxin: "You always speak without thinking. Can you use a different word? This sounds really weird."

"Oh, I'm not lying. Just a few days ago I thought my life was over. I never imagined I'd be working with Lin Shaobai."

"..."

Liu Yuxin had more to think about.

Although Mr. Lin Shaobai's company, Baichen Entertainment, has just been established, this is the first artist he has signed.

Resources will likely be allocated accordingly.

What she lacks now is a platform, a platform where she can be seen by everyone.

Liu Yuxin has been practicing dance for many years and has a solid foundation.

But it would be a waste if there wasn't a major platform to showcase her.

"But Yuxin, why didn't you let me finish what I was saying? Tencent also has talent shows, and the recording time is similar to that of iQiyi. Remember how popular Produce 101 was? It made so many people famous."

"Sherry, I understand you. After all, Kiwi has no experience in organizing girl group auditions..."

"Yes. Why don't we go and talk to Teacher Lin about it?"

"Do not."

Liu Yuxin shook her head.

"Trust the boss's judgment, just like he came here specifically to find us."

"Okay... but Yuxin, do you think I should get a trendy hairstyle for that show?"

"Cough cough."

Liu Yuxin couldn't bear to look at Kong Xueerbi's explosive, muscular hairstyle.

"Stop it. We're on the same team. If you do this, neither of us will get good reviews."

You make a ball head, you make it.

……

……

Late night
Zhou Ye lay on his bed in the dormitory.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

joke!

How could I possibly fall asleep?

I've never encountered anything like this before.

I had met Zhang Jingyi once before, but it wasn't as intense as this time.

"Is she really a die-hard fan of Lin Shaobai?"

Zhou Ye muttered to himself.

"If that's really the case, then she definitely won't be able to accept me being with Lin Shaobai. Oh dear..."

Xiao Zhouye scratched his head in distress, regretting, "Why did I let my emotions get the better of me and show her the photos? Honestly. That saying is true, no one in a relationship can resist showing off their love! I just wanted to prove that I was his girlfriend."

She finished speaking quietly and then turned around, looking at the bed curtains: "Zhang Jingyi had heart pain back then. Does she have some kind of heart disease? Or was she hurt by what I said? Were my words that harsh? No, they weren't as harsh as hers. Ugh, why would I feel sorry for her?"

"I'm just too kind. Oh well. There's nothing I can do about it."

“I’m talking about Zhou Ye.”

"what?"

The sister lying opposite her was a light sleeper with neurasthenia and couldn't sleep at all, let alone with Zhou Ye fidgeting in the blankets.

"What are you doing up so late at night? Who are you talking to?"

"Oh, no." "Talking to yourself."

"Ah."

"You should keep your voice down when you're talking to yourself."

"Oh...sorry. I was speaking softly."

Zhou Ye turned her head away, forced to sleep because of her roommate's words.

She couldn't sleep, and neither could her classmate Zhang Jingyi, with whom she had a conflict.

She took a plane back to Xiamen overnight.

We can't let filming be delayed.

Dragging her tired and heavy body back to her room, she threw herself heavily onto the soft bed, the down feathers naturally forming a small dent.

Zhang Jingyi buried her head in the pillow until she couldn't breathe before looking up at the window.

The cool moonlight streamed in and fell upon her.

"I can't sleep again tonight. But I have to film tomorrow."

She knew that Lin Beixing and Zhang Wansen's story would continue, but there was a rift in the relationship between Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't pretend that none of this had happened.

She is not a plant, but a person, a person with feelings.

Zhou Ye's words echoed in her ears again and again.

"I am her girlfriend."

"Zhang Jingyi, you're the one who should be mindful of your behavior."

"If you say she's your girlfriend, then show some proof."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"I kept it a secret before so that Lin Shaobai's career wouldn't be affected."

……

As her senior sister spoke more and more, becoming increasingly incoherent, Zhang Jingyi felt an excruciating headache and extreme discomfort.

The couple's photo gradually came to mind.

What an intimate photo! Who wouldn't say they're a perfect match?

"But Shao Bai, what exactly are your feelings for me and for her?"

"What exactly is it..."

Zhang Jingyi really wanted to run up to Lin Shaobai and ask him the truth.

But she also understood that contacting him like this would affect the filming.

If she hadn't gone to Zhou Ye, she would have remained completely in the dark.

"How could you be such a person..."

Zhang Jingyi opened her phone; her photo library contained pictures of her and Lin Shaobai together.

Yes, we should have shown this photo to Zhou Ye back then to prove that she was also Lin Shaobai's girlfriend.

and so……

what is going on actually?
"Was it Senior Sister Zhou Ye who interfered in my relationship with Shao Bai?"

“Or…” Zhang Jingyi felt a tightness in her chest again, and another thought slowly emerged.

"Am I the one who interfered?"

"No, probably not."

Zhang Jingyi rejected the idea the moment it came to her.

"No, no. Shao Bai and I have known each other since we enrolled, while he and Zhou Ye met later. I was the one who arrived first, I'm not a bad person who interferes in other people's relationships..."

Zhang Jingyi became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and lowered her head. When she saw the photo with Lin Shaobai again, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks onto the screen.

pat, pat.

"I never thought you and Zhou Ye would have a photo like this together."

"Shaobai, what do you take me for? You... um?"

A message from Lin Shaobai suddenly popped up at the top of the phone screen.

I just got back. My company signed two artists. They're both good singers and dancers.

In the past, Zhang Jingyi would have been very happy that Lin Shaobai shared these things with her.

But I feel really bad right now.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but recall the scene of their first meeting.

She still remembers the scene.

Someone asked who was the most beautiful art student in the class of 2017?

Lin Shaobai said "Zhang Jingyi".

At the time, Zhang Jingyi did not expect that the two would have such a close relationship later.

A few days later, during military training, the two of them stood next to each other.

When standing at attention, the instructor only needs to tell you to turn around so that the two of you can see each other.

It's inevitable to burst into laughter when facing each other, and Lin Shaobai was even criticized by the military training instructor for it.

Because Lin Shaobai had to participate in a music singing program, he couldn't attend many of his school classes in time, so Zhang Jingyi lent him her notes.

They would also highlight the key points for his exams to prevent him from failing.

Two people meet in the library and work together on the homework assigned by their teacher.

Many end-of-term performances were done together by Zhang Jingyi and Lin Shaobai.

Scenes, like those in an old movie, began to play in Zhang Jingyi's mind.

What should I say at this moment?

Should we laugh?

Should I still cry?
Zhang Jingyi couldn't tell them apart.

She didn't know if Zhou Ye had also had these experiences.

She received the same necklace, the same various gifts, and the same doting affection from Lin Shaobai.

She didn't know whether Zhou Ye was dating Lin Shaobai when these things happened at school.
When exactly did those two start dating?

Where are we at?
"At what stage..."

Zhang Jingyi found it ridiculous to think of this.

They even spent the night together...

How far can it go?
Isn't it just that one step?
"I……"

"But the filming must continue."

"I can only endure it for now, I can only endure it..."

Zhang Jingyi is now experiencing not only heart pain but also stomach pain.

The stomach is indeed an organ of emotions; emotions affect the stomach as if it's on fire.

Meanwhile, Lin Shaobai lay on the bed looking at his chat interface with Zhang Jingyi.

Why hasn't the other party sent a single word even though it shows they are typing?
Could it be that you typed the words into the chat box and then deleted them?

What is she worried about?
What are you anxious about?
Lin Shaobai noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Jingyi, but since she hadn't said anything, he couldn't ask her directly.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Lin Shaobai turned off his phone and put it aside.

I should go to bed early; I have filming tomorrow.

I can always ask tomorrow morning.

The next day, work began early in the morning.

Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi still have a lot of scenes together today.

This TV series is not like "Qingqing Daily Life," which is an ensemble piece about daily life. "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" revolves around the male and female leads.

I never thought there was anything wrong with her before, but Zhang Jingyi has been acting really strange lately.

She was so strange that even Lin Shaobai noticed her odd behavior.

This scene is considered a hilarious moment in "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". The female lead, Lin Beixing, brings milk to the male lead, Zhang Wansen, but Zhang Wansen refuses, saying that this brain-boosting milk should be given to the female lead.

Before filming began, Zhang Jingyi stood in the school corridor reading the script and lines, surrounded by student extras.

Lin Shaobai stood beside her, holding the books given to him by the props team.

He looked at Zhang Jingyi until she looked up at him.

After making eye contact with Zhang Jingyi, she deliberately looked away.

It's deliberate, so deliberate!
Lin Shaobai's lips twitched, and he said bluntly, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you dare look at me?"

Zhang Jingyi didn't say anything.

"Zhang Jingyi".

"..."

It's become more deliberate.

They didn't even respond when I called their names from such close distance.

The staff standing nearby were also very curious.

Huh? What's going on?
Isn't Zhang Jingyi always sticking to Lin Shaobai's side?

I'd be even happier if they took the initiative to speak.

How could I possibly pretend not to hear?
Could it be that the two of them had a fight?
Not right.

Something is very wrong.

Lin Shaobai put down the script in his hand, looked at Zhang Jingyi, and gasped.

Zhang is different from usual...

"Alright, alright, get ready."

The director, holding a walkie-talkie, said from a distance.

The two, feeling awkward, immediately prepared to take a picture.

"action!"

After filming began, Zhang Wansen, played by Lin Shaobai, walked over from a distance carrying a large pile of books.

Lin Beixing, played by Zhang Jingyi, walked out of the classroom with milk and bumped into him.

She casually placed the milk on top of the pile of books: "Here you go."

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment, his eyes looking bewildered.

Zhang Wansen looked at the female lead with a blank expression.

"What are you doing? It's for you."

"You should drink it. It's good for your brain."

Lin Shaobai said in a very serious tone.

Zhang Jingyi clearly didn't understand. After a long while, she said indignantly, "Zhang Wansen, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm stupid?"

"No, it wasn't me...it wasn't me...it wasn't me..."

"Oh, alright, you—"

Zhang Jingyi turned her head and stared blankly at Lin Shaobai's face.

Now, whenever I see Lin Shaobai, I think of Zhou Ye and the conversation between the two of them that day.

Zhang Jingyi instinctively felt a pang of heartache and, just like before, clutched her chest.

Because this action couldn't be filmed, the director, who was in the distance, immediately yelled "Cut!"

Lin Shaobai immediately helped Zhang Jingyi up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened to your heart? Are you okay? Does your chest hurt?"

Startled, Zhang Jingyi slowly opened her eyes. She looked around and found herself lying in Lin Shaobai's arms.

Ah, so I was lying in his arms.

It's something to be happy about.

But why am I feeling so bad?

Zhang Jingyi thought to herself.

Soon, staff members also gathered around, worried about Zhang Jingyi's health.

Why is she clutching her chest for no reason?
Chest tightness? Heart palpitations?
Is it because of poor health?
But Zhang Jingyi has never experienced this situation during all the time she's been filming.

This scene doesn't require high-intensity exercise.

"I am fine."

As more and more people gathered around, Zhang Jingyi took the initiative to get out of Lin Shaobai's arms, her expression indifferent.

She didn't want everyone to worry about her, so the scene had to continue filming.

"What's wrong? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

The director walked over and said.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and shook her head: "No need for a director. Sorry, I just felt a bit of chest tightness. I'm really sorry for bothering everyone."

"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright. You gave me quite a fright. You continued even though you're perfectly fine?"

"Ah."

Zhang Jingyi nodded, then turned around and accidentally bumped into Lin Shaobai's arm.

She knew out of the corner of her eye that it was Lin Shaobai, so she deliberately didn't look, thinking she could pretend nothing had happened, but unexpectedly Lin Shaobai grabbed her arm directly.

"Zhang Jingyi, wait a moment."
