Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 247, Section 246: Filming Begins at Changfeng Ferry; Dudu Plays Husband and Wife (4K)

A fan war erupted again under Zhou Ye's Weibo post announcing her nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

There's no way around it; actresses of the same age are all competing.

The fans of Zhou Ye, Tian Xiwei, and Zhang Jingyi have always been at odds.

[Some people couldn't sit still when they saw our Yezi nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards; they're just being sour.]

Some people can act their whole lives and never get a nomination.

[See? With such limited acting skills, what else can she act besides being cute?]

Even if your sister gets nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award, the show's viewership won't even come close to what Jia Xiaotian gets.

So what? The Hundred Flowers Awards nominations are based on acting skills.

This is hilarious. Zhou Ye can actually be associated with acting now?!

[The Hundred Flowers Awards should at least consider audience appeal, right? Tian Xiwei's sweet and charming role has become a huge hit, completely overshadowing that other person's exaggerated expressions.]

[Wei Lai has become quite famous, hasn't she? Her villainous image is deeply ingrained in people's minds.]

[Of course, those with connections deserve a nomination. The company's promotion of them is so obvious; do they think the audience is blind?]

[The sour chicken is jumping up and down. The way Tian's fans are losing their temper is truly laughable. If they're so upset, why don't they give their idol a Best Actor nomination at the Hundred Flowers Awards?]

[Pshaw, what a rip-off the Hundred Flowers Awards have become! Zhou Ye's acting skills are so bad, he even got a nomination.]

[Someone keeps saying their older sister has the best skin and the best bone structure, so why not combine them and call her the strongest "skin and bone"?]

[Zhou Ye's fans are basically trying to piggyback on his success. Xiao Tian is a certified 95-generation actress, and since they can't beat the leading 95-generation actress, they resort to slander everywhere, right?]

"Ugh……"

Meanwhile, backstage at the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, Zhou Ye sighed helplessly at the noisy comments.

Lin Shaobai sat next to her.

He was also nominated for Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards for his outstanding performance in "Better Days".

In May, he was also nominated for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in this film.

"My senior sister was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award and she's still sighing and complaining?"

"I saw the fans arguing."

"It's better not to spy on fan circles."

Celebrities should try to avoid having too much interaction with fan groups.

Because fan circles are mostly filled with extreme statements, spending a lot of time looking at this negative energy can easily affect one's mood.

Furthermore, paying too much attention to fans' comments may disrupt the artist's team's original plans.

"It's not a question of whether I want to see it or not, it's that if I click on this trending topic, I'll see fans arguing. It's unavoidable."

Zhou Ye was helpless.

"Right now, let's focus more on the Hundred Flowers Awards."

Lin Shaobai comforted him.

"Although I'm happy to be nominated, I know I won't win."

Zhou Ye gave a wry smile as he said this.

It's not a pity, but from any perspective, it's impossible for Wei Lai to win the Best Supporting Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

First of all, this is Zhou Ye's first nomination for the Hundred Flowers Award, and he is a newcomer, so the probability of giving the award to a newcomer is very small.

Secondly, this character is purely evil.

The probability of this kind of role winning an award is extremely small.

Fans probably know that their idol's chances of winning Best Supporting Actress are slim, which is why they've been promoting the nomination so extensively.

A nomination is an affirmation!

It's already quite an achievement for someone so young to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards!
A short while later, Zhao Jinmai walked in, lifting her skirt.

She gained immense popularity after starring in "The Wandering Earth" and has now been nominated for Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

The probability of winning this award is almost zero.

She was nominated for this award along with Zhou Dongyu, Song Jia, Tong Liya, Zhang Ziyi...

These are all top-notch actors with exceptional acting skills.

Like Zhou Ye, he received both nomination and recognition.

Because they were of similar age, Zhao Jinmai had previously exchanged contact information with Zhou Ye.

Among all these big shots, I can only talk to Zhou Ye.

Zhao Jinmai rushed over, and only when he got close did he see Lin Shaobai sitting next to him.

This made her stop in her tracks instantly.

Zhao Jinmai is just a small-time actress. For her, Lin Shaobai's status is a height she can never reach in her lifetime.

Zhou Ye turned his head and spotted Xiao Zhao standing awkwardly in the distance. He quickly waved and said, "Come here!"

Zhao Jinmai's smile remained awkward as she cautiously pointed to Lin Shaobai, who was sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

Zhou Ye then understood why Zhao Jinmai had been standing in the same spot.

It might be due to social anxiety, especially since the person he was facing was a top influencer.

"Don't worry, come here, come here."

Zhou Ye took the initiative to walk over, took Xiao Zhao's hand, and led him to the seat.

Xiao Zhao was still incredibly nervous. He bowed slightly to Lin Shaobai and greeted him formally, "Hello, Teacher Lin, I'm Zhao Jinmai, and I'm good at..."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou Ye sensed something was wrong and quickly grabbed Xiao Zhao's hand.

A simple greeting is one thing, but how did it turn into a self-introduction for an audition?

Lin Shaobai didn't show much expression throughout, and he just found Xiao Zhao's behavior strange.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, she finally spoke, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Because Teacher Lin is so amazing, it was the first time I'd ever met such a big star, so... I've always liked Teacher Lin, and her songs are especially beautiful."

"Oh, so you're a fan," Zhou Ye chimed in from the side.

"I'm not just a fan of the songs, but also of the acting. 'The Vanished She' is especially good, and Lin's acting is phenomenal."

Xiao Zhao still stutters.

As more and more people entered the backstage area, Zhao Jinmai mustered up his courage and said to Lin Shaobai, "Could we...could we take a photo together?"

"So all you wanted was a group photo."

Zhou Ye grabbed Lin Shaobai's arm and stood in the middle: "Let's take a group photo of the three of us."

Actually, Zhao Jinmai just wanted to take a photo with Lin Shaobai alone, but Zhou Ye suddenly interrupted.

After the three of them quickly took a group photo, Zhang Ziyi came over again.

She took the initiative to greet Lin Xiaobai, her eyes full of admiration and praise.

"Hello, Lin Shaobai."

"Hello."

Lin Shaobai originally intended to continue sitting in his chair, spacing out, and wait for the Hundred Flowers Awards to begin before entering the venue.

“I have been telling my staff that you are the only one in the entertainment industry who can combine popularity and acting skills.”

Zhang Ziyi said with a slight smile.

This is not just a polite remark.

Back when he was a mentor on an actor variety show, he told the trainees that in the current entertainment industry, only Lin Shaobai has both popularity and acting skills.

Seeing Lin Shaobai and Zhang Ziyi chatting, Zhou Ye could only silently step back and stand with Zhao Jinmai.

The difference in status is too great, so I won't try to get close to them.

When their shoulders touched, they instinctively turned their heads and burst into laughter at the same time.

"Ono, you look quite pretty today."

"Okay."

Zhou Ye said, feigning modesty.

She has always been incredibly confident about her facial features.

She can appear even without makeup, without any embellishment!

"Oh, right, Ono."

"Ok?"

"Zhang Jingyi is your colleague, right?"

"Um..." Zhou Ye hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded with a smile: "Yes. But why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"I keep seeing the two of you trending on social media. I think it's all because of what people online say about you two not getting along. After all, you're colleagues at the same company."

"Actually, I have a pretty good relationship with Junior Sister Zhang." Zhou Ye sighed.

We did dislike each other before, but later we decided to prioritize harmony.

"So the internet can really distort the truth. You two have such a good relationship, but they insist that you two were fighting when you met."

"There was no hair-pulling."

Zhou Ye stated that even during their most intense arguments, the two of them never physically fought.

Now that you both love Lin Shaobai, the most important thing is to get along peacefully.

Shortly after, the Hundred Flowers Awards officially began.

……

……

As expected, the competition for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards is exceptionally fierce.

Previous nominees for Best Actor included Huang Xiaoming for *The Bravest*, Wu Jing for *The Wandering Earth* and *The Climbers*, Xiao Yang for *Sheep Without a Shepherd*, Zhou Runfa, and Guo Fucheng for *Project Gutenberg*...

The chances of that character winning an award are relatively small.

After attending the awards ceremony, Lin Shaobai rushed back to film "Life's Big Events".

Filming continued until the end of August, when it was finally completed.

After finishing filming, he took a few days off before joining the cast of "Changfengdu".

The director of "Changfengdu" was grinning from ear to ear.

The male lead was already incredibly popular, and now the female lead is popular too.

At least people have seen that her acting skills have improved, and she won't be like before, rejecting people who wouldn't even glance at a show if she was listed as a lead actress.

Before the movie "The Vanished She" was released, netizens were even... frightened by Chen Duling's acting skills.

No matter what role she plays, it's always the same.

Sometimes, when acting out a crazy scene, you can portray the boiling water in someone's house.

Fortunately, the movie proved that she wasn't expressionless.

Chen Duling naturally possesses the elegance of a woman from Jiangnan, and after changing into her clothes, everyone marvels at her refined and graceful appearance.

A miraculous balance exists between her scholarly air and vitality.

Today we're filming a wedding night scene.

Don't get me wrong, this is a proper wedding night.

After all, the selling point of this TV series is marriage before love.

Neither of them loves each other right now.

The female lead, Liu Yuru, played by Chen Duling, initially had no intention of marrying the male lead.

From a young age, she sacrificed a lot to marry into the prestigious Ye family and strived to become a well-bred young lady. However, she was devastated when she learned that she was to marry Gu Jiusi, the number one playboy in the capital, who is also the male lead in the TV series. On her wedding night, she sat on the bed and cried.

Gu Jiusi, the male lead played by Lin Shaobai, was also helpless, so he decided to coax her with some things.

At least it will stop the wife from crying.

Before the camera started rolling, Lin Shaobai and Chen Duling sat together on either side of the bed.

Couples who are inexplicably engaged are definitely not familiar with each other.

"action!"

As soon as the director yelled "Action!", Dudu burst into tears.

The speed at which the tears flowed startled Lin Shaobai.

It seems that Dudu really puts in a lot of hard work practicing in private.

I still remember her in the beginning, because she couldn't film a crying scene well, making the whole crew wait for her, which made them feel bad and guilty.

For actors who are not formally trained in acting, crying scenes are indeed difficult. After all, tears must flow genuinely in order for the audience to be able to immerse themselves in the story.

They can come whenever they want now.

Chen Duling sat on the left side of the bed, crying uncontrollably with her face flushed red, and occasionally slapping her leg with her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Shaobai placed the silver notes next to him on her lap: "Don't cry, okay? You can have all my silver notes."

The next second, the banknote was thrown back at his face!

Chen Duling threw the three silver notes on her lap at Lin Shaobai with all her might, while crying out, "No, no, I don't want to!"

Lin Shaobai stared at her in astonishment.

Chen Duling huddled in a corner and cried again.

Lin Shaobai quickly took out the jewelry he had hidden and handed it over: "These are all priceless treasures."

Chen Duling threw the jewelry onto the bed and continued crying.

Because of this marriage, everything she had was lost. How could she not feel wronged?
And to make matters worse, she married someone she didn't love. It was so painful.

Lin Shaobai also portrayed Gu Jiusi's helplessness very vividly.

"Miss Liu, Fairy Liu, Ancestor."

"You've been crying for so long, you must be tired. Why don't we eat something, something delicious, that will cheer us up."

Lin Shaobai handed over the purple pastry, but it was refused again.

They have repeatedly challenged people's bottom line!

That's enough! Lin Shaobai jumped up and said, "That's enough! I don't have a good temper!"

Chen Duling was still sobbing.

"Great card!"

The director saw that the scene was well-shot and quickly yelled "Cut!"

Even after filming had ended, Chen Duling was still crying, her chest heaving.

Lin Shaobai sat down next to her and patted her shoulder: "You cried so hard, you acted so well."

"Heartbroken...how can I not be heartbroken?"

Chen Duling has already immersed herself in the role of Liu Yuru, so she feels sad for her.

The female protagonist, Liu Yuru, doesn't have an omniscient perspective, so she naturally doesn't know how powerful her husband will become in the future.

All I know is that Gu Jiusi is a good-for-nothing playboy who spends his days indulging in pleasure and debauchery.

My life is ruined, how can I not cry?!
"It hurts. Why did I choose such a person?"

"Gu Jiusi has a bright future."

"But Liu Yuru doesn't know this now, so she's sad."

"Dudu still chose someone very capable."

"Beep...hmm?"

Chen Duling was crying for half a minute when she heard this sentence and then she came back to her senses.

She put down her hand that was wiping away her tears and turned to stare quietly at Lin Shaobai.

"Ahem. You agree, right?"

Lin Shaobai felt a little embarrassed after he finished speaking.

Because there were so many people there, I couldn't say what I was thinking verbatim.

Fortunately, Chen Duling understood what Lin Shaobai meant.

She chuckled softly, "I don't think I'm a particularly impressive person."

"Ok?"

"Yes."

"This……"

Seeing Lin Shaobai's surprised expression again, Chen Duling couldn't help but pat his chest: "Just kidding. In my heart, you're a very capable person."

Meanwhile, in the distance, Sha Zhantang, who played Lin Shaobai's father, looked at the two of them and recalled the time they appeared together on "Back to Field".

At the time, I felt that the two of them were a perfect match.

Unexpectedly, many years later, the two of them played a married couple in this drama, and he happened to play their family member.

It can only be described as a match made in heaven.

"I think Lin Shaobai is simply the chosen one, Gu Jiusi."

Sha Zhantang said to his assistant, Xiao Zhao, who was standing next to him.

Assistant Xiao Zhao had been staring at her boss, Mr. Lin, and only nodded when she heard this.

"That's true, he certainly has the air of a dashing young master."

It's late again.
