Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 65. Filming wrapped, joining the cast of "Go Go Squid!"
"So, is that okay?"

Cheng Xiao asked again.

Lin Shaobai turned around: "I didn't hear you clearly."

"You," Cheng Xiao said with a hint of helplessness, but still continued, "I'm going to the celebration banquet. Could you spare some time tonight? I need to talk to you about something."

"What's up?"

"I can't say right now. Can you just tell me, please?"

Lin Shaobai was also confused.

Cheng Xiao is acting very strangely today, completely different from before.

An inexplicable awkwardness permeated the space between the two of them.

"Row"

After Lin Shaobai finished speaking, he opened the door and left.

He hadn't walked far when he stopped and looked back.

"Asking me out so late at night... tsk."

……

……

……

At the end of January 2018, Lin Shaobai officially wrapped up filming.

The film crew of "Cry Me a Sad River" bought him a lot of things that day.

The director sent him a bouquet of flowers, and professional crew members conducted an interview with him.

Lin Shaobai was actually quite reluctant to part with it.

Although the film was shot in a short period of time, it was still made with emotion.

On the night after filming wrapped, Lin Shaobai returned to the hotel where he always stayed.

He received a message from Zhang Ruonan before going to bed.

【have you slept? 】

【No】

Lin Shaobai replied.

Not long after he sent the message, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Shaobai opened the door and saw Zhang Ruonan standing at the door in her pajamas.

Tomorrow I'll be leaving for good, and after filming ends, the two of them will probably rarely see each other again.

During filming, there were various reasons for them to be together, but after filming ended, they both had work and rarely had the chance to see each other.

Zhang Ruonan had confessed her feelings to Lin Shaobai before, but was rejected, so she could only try to be with him in another way.

Everyone knows the true nature of this relationship now.

As soon as Zhang Ruonan entered, she threw herself into Lin Shaobai's arms, hugging him tightly and feeling his presence.

Lin Shaobai put one arm around Zhang Ruonan and used the other to close the door to the room.

"what happened to you?"

"What do you say?"

Zhang Ruonan buried her head in Lin Shaobai's arms and hummed softly.

"Xiaolin, aren't you sad that filming has wrapped up?"

"I'm a little sad. But it's okay."

"I am quite sad."

After a while, Zhang Ruonan suddenly raised her face and looked at Lin Shaobai seriously.

"This is my first movie, and I feel like I haven't gotten over it at all."

Zhang Ruonan is a newcomer to the film and television industry, so it's actually quite normal that she can't get over this situation.

I put a lot of effort into this movie, and suddenly it's about to end, and I haven't been able to process many things yet.

Many actors find it difficult to detach themselves from their roles after filming; they need to travel for two or three months to recover.

Wen Yongshan, who played Li Ningyu in "The Message," said in an interview after the series ended that she couldn't get over it and chose to abandon everything to travel.

And Lin Yi from "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" – he couldn't get over it even after filming.

Besides, there's that famous couple from the film crew.

He plays a love character in a TV series, and although fans always praise their idol for being so innocent even in his thirties, "Xiao Lin, will you miss me after filming?"

Just as Lin Shaobai was about to speak, Zhang Ruonan reached out and hugged his neck again: "Will you... will you still look for me?"

"Of course I will."

Lin Shaobai touched Zhang Ruonan's hair.

“I’m not a machine that can automatically format itself after making a movie, forget everything that happened before, and start a new life.”

He made a joke to ease the tension.

Zhang Ruonan looked at him with a gentler gaze.

How could I not think of you?

After Lin Shaobai finished speaking, he bent down and gently picked up Zhang Ruonan in his arms.

Zhang Ruonan also leaned into Lin Shaobai's arms, lowering her face slightly, looking a little shy.

She knew what to do next.

"Shaobai... if you want to contact me in the future, just send me a message."

"Ah."

Zhang Ruonan stretched out her hands and cupped Lin Shaobai's face in them. Lin Shaobai held her and slowly stopped in front of the bed.

"I still want to say, Shao Bai, I like you, thank you. Let me have my way tonight."

……

……

After filming the movie wrapped up, Lin Shaobai joined the cast of the TV series "Go Go Squid!"

This TV series is adapted from a novel and tells the story of Tong Nian, a cute and academically gifted girl played by Yang Zi, who falls in love at first sight with Han Shangyan, played by Lin Shaobai.

Simply put, it's a love story about a girl pursuing a passionate e-sports god who isn't in the gaming community.

In addition, the drama will also showcase the dreams, passionate team spirit, and sense of honor of today's young generation through e-sports teams and world-class programming competitions.

The "dear" in the TV series title refers to love, while "love" refers to career, with the two main storylines of love and career progressing side by side.

Yang Zi plays Tong Nian, a graduate student majoring in computer science, specializing in cybersecurity.

She falls in love with the male protagonist, Han Shangyan, at first sight. In order to enter Han Shangyan's world, she begins to actively learn about his life and hobbies, and even uses her programming skills to help him realize his dreams.

Han Shangyan, played by Lin Shaobai, is a character who is aloof and not good at speaking.

He will be constantly moved by their warmth and thoughtfulness in their daily interactions, gradually revealing his gentle and doting side.

A cute, lively, and cheerful female lead and a cold, domineering, and introverted male lead—yes, the standard setup for an idol drama.

The second male lead in this drama is Hu Yitian, who plays Wu Bai, the captain of the KK team. His main job responsibilities include reverse engineering and vulnerability discovery.

Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi came to try on clothes earlier.

It's hard to imagine that Yang Zi tried on hundreds of outfits for this role; Lin Shaobai's head ached just watching.

Yang Zi takes the role very seriously. She knows that the female lead has a soft and cute personality, so she chooses to match more light-colored clothing and accessories, such as lemon yellow and light pink.

Lin Shaobai's outfits in the drama are mainly black and white, and the uniforms of his KK team were also specially designed and customized by the production team.

The male protagonist, Han Shangyan, is the owner of the KK Club.

In the show, the KK team mainly competes in the CTF cybersecurity competition, which is short for Capture The Flag.

In a game, one side is responsible for attacking and the other for defending. A successful attack results in a point.

In this competition, one side launches a cyberattack while the other side fixes the vulnerability.

Another approach is to set up and solve problems.

The participants are on the same platform, which contains many questions. The team that solves a question scores points, and the team with the highest score at the end wins.

Students who study computer science may be familiar with or interested in this topic.

Companies like Tencent and 360 sometimes hold competitions like this to select talent.

Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi have already worked together on a drama, and they have a good understanding of each other.

To be honest, Yang Zi really does bring good fortune to male actors, having made several top stars famous.

The first scene we're shooting today is a classic one; it's their first meeting, and the internet cafe where Yang Zi falls in love at first sight.

Sorry for the late post. The third round of recommendations will start tomorrow, please read on!
