Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 9. I'm your fan!
"A fan?"

Lin Shaobai smiled as he looked at the words on the screen.

It seems my first fan in life was actually my senior sister, who is known for her stunning looks.

"Alright, I'll just hum a couple of lines for you later."

Lin Shaobai pressed the green button and sent another voice message.

This time, Zhou Ye didn't type, but replied with a voice message.

"Don't you have any sincerity? Just humming a few lines? You won't stay popular for long if you're not good to your fans."

"what?"

Lin Shaobai was stunned one second, and then he remembered something the next.

Nowadays, celebrities who treat their fans badly will fade into obscurity even faster.

Celebrities who primarily act in television dramas can indeed be less concerned about fans, since their main focus is on filming and they don't need fans to generate data for them.

However, if you want to gain popularity, you must treat your fans well.

Because fans can provide you with commercial value.

If a brand endorses anything, the fans will be happy to spend a lot of money to buy it.

Many celebrities have been severely criticized for treating their fans badly, and losing fans can be fatal for a star.

You make a living off your fans, and you still treat them badly?!

Some celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are really aloof and arrogant.

They think that being a celebrity makes them superior to others, and they look down on their fans and everyone around them.

Aside from some celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, artists in the Korean, Japanese, and American entertainment industries are very respectful and friendly to their fans, treating them like friends.

When she's not working, she just wears shorts and flip-flops and strolls around casually; you can't see any airs about her.

"Zhou Ye has such awareness now, not bad, not bad."

Lin Shaobai did not reply again.

After filming all night, his eyelids were drooping, so he decided to get a good night's sleep.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ye lay on the bed, holding his phone the whole time.

Her little face rested on the pillow, and she tossed and turned.

She tossed and turned in bed from one end to the other, but never received a reply from Lin Shaobai.

Because he was so anxious while waiting, his brows and eyes were furrowed in a deep frown.

"What's going on?! Why isn't she replying? Did she fall asleep while we were chatting?"

Zhou Ye started to let his mind wander.

I have to admit that I was really impressed by Lin Shaobai's performance on stage, and I really felt like a little fangirl.

She's clearly older than him, so how come she's a little fangirl?

Zhou Ye turned over and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Her heart would race whenever she thought of Lin Shaobai singing on stage.

How amazing, my heart is racing uncontrollably.

I've never felt this way before.

How could Lin Shaobai be so dazzling on stage?
handsome……

He's really handsome.

A guy who can compose, sing, and isn't stage-frightened is really handsome.

"I think I actually think he's kind of handsome."

Zhou Ye muttered to himself as he sat up in bed.

Her roommate next to her laughed at her expression, "Hey Xiaoye, who do you think is handsome? You're not falling for someone, are you?"

"Huh?" Zhou Ye blinked his round, doe-like eyes, looking confused.

My roommate, still looking gossipy, said, "It's rare to hear you say a guy is handsome. Something seems off about you."

Zhou Ye panicked a little, frantically trying to cover it up with her expression: "No. It's not true."

"I heard you say that. You just said he's handsome, so who's handsome?"

"..." Zhou Ye's eyelids drooped slightly, and he finally tapped the soft blanket with his hand: "You misheard!!"

The voice was a little higher than before, with a sense of unease, as if trying to hide something obvious.

After she finished speaking, she covered her head with the blanket and pretended to be asleep.

My roommate saw this and didn't want to continue talking, so she smiled indulgently.

Okay then. ...

After finishing filming during the day, Lin Shaobai received a call from Jay Chou that evening.

"Xiaolin, have you watched our program before?"

“I have seen it.”

"Do you know what happens next after the mentor placement competition?"

"It's just a round-robin tournament."

"Yes, that's right. Our four teams will be competing."

The next week is needed to prepare songs for the next round of competition.

If you compete against members of other teams and lose, you're eliminated immediately and won't have a chance to continue.

"So have you decided what song you want to prepare? If you haven't prepared one, I can..."

"Jay Chou, I actually have original songs too."

Jay Chou didn't react at first.

"Um...what did you say?"

"Actually, after I was selected for the team, I already knew what song I would sing for the next match."

"Wow, another original song of yours! Aren't you from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy? You're so good at creating original songs... Okay, then send me the demo of the song you're going to prepare. I want to hear it. If it's not good, we'll have to change it, because it's related to whether you can advance next time."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shaobai turned on his computer and sent the previously recorded demo to Jay Chou.

For his second original song, he chose "Quietly".

This song wasn't very famous at first, but it gradually became the background music for many videos due to its spread through short videos.

The content consists of sweet love songs, which are cheerful and touching, so they often appear in love videos.

It's a normal love video.

The world suddenly became so quiet.

"Only the sound of a heartbeat remains."

"It strengthened my resolve to love you."

"You are the only one right now."

Most people can hum a few lines from these lyrics.

Lin Shaobai thought that the New Voice platform was quite large, and that spreading the song through this platform would definitely yield good results.

Meanwhile, Jay Chou had already opened the demo of "Quietly" that Lin Shaobai had sent him.

Lin Shaobai's voice is soothing and sweet when he sings this song; it's sure to make any girl's heart flutter.

What I want to see most is your smile.

You are the best in my eyes.

You wouldn't understand the cheesy, sentimental tone.

"My Love is Quiet"

How should I continue this conversation?

"It's all my fault for being too timid."

"Just staring at you and grinning like an idiot."

What should I do?

"But I really didn't expect that."

You pulled me into your arms.

Jay Chou's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this.

At first, I thought Lin Shaobai was just talking casually, but I didn't expect him to actually have some skills.

The most popular original singer recently is actually Mao Mao from that show next door.

Jay Chou initially thought that if this show couldn't produce a particularly outstanding and attractive contestant, it might not be able to compete with the neighboring "The Coming One".

Looking back now, it seems that the second season of The Voice of China really did produce a popular singer who is not only good-looking but also talented in songwriting.

As Jay Chou listened, he even shook his head and hummed along.

He was especially glad that he had actively tried to win over Lin Shaobai, feeling that there were many things about this kid that could be explored!
