Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 93, Section 92: The Scandal of Being Photographed Late at Night with Yang Zi (4K)

Lin Shaobai: "That's what I think too. I really enjoy life here."

He said a few words and then went to pack his suitcase and left with Chen Duling and Shen Yue.

Teacher He stood in the courtyard, pointing to the night sky: "Hey, wait a minute. Look how beautiful, how beautiful the moon is!"

"Yes."

"Okay, drive carefully, bye-bye!"

Lin Shaobai helped the two girls carry their suitcases into the car and then sat in the passenger seat.

The production team sent a driver to take the three people out of the village.

On the way, Shen Yue said, "I'm so happy. I wish I could come here every day. It feels so relaxing."

Chen Duling: "Yes. Indeed."

Shen Yue: "Hey, actually I wanted to ask this before, do you know Teacher Lin?"

Lin Shaobai turned around and looked at Chen Duling sitting in the back.

The two looked at each other.

Chen Duling: "Yes, I knew Teacher Lin before, we were friends. It's been a long time since we last saw each other."

Lin Shaobai: "It really has been a long time since we last met."

Chen Duling: "If we have the chance, let's get together for a meal. It's just a pity that I have to film tomorrow, so I don't have much time."

Lin Shaobai: "Okay. If we have the chance, let's go out for a meal."

Shen Yue sensed something was off about the two of them: "You two should be careful about what you eat."

"We're just ordinary friends," Lin Shaobai said with a smile.

Chen Duling: “…”

……

……

After recording the program, Lin Shaobai went to visit Xiao Han.

After the export of "Ashes of Love," the ratings for the show skyrocketed.

Since its premiere, it has consistently ranked in the top three on Naver's Chinese TV drama search charts.

They consistently held the number one spot from then on!
Korean netizens seem to be addicted to this drama, giving it countless positive reviews. Some netizens even said that it's so good that they can watch the finale without subtitles!

Just looking at the faces of the male and female protagonists is enough!

Lin Shaobai has won the hearts of a large number of young women.

Everyone was praising his milky skin and delicate features.

As soon as he stepped out of the airport, he was surrounded by a huge crowd of fans who had come to see Ashes of Love.

There's no way around it, that's what top-tier celebrities are like.

Even in Xiao Han, she can still have her own place.

During the event, Lin Shaobai was interviewed by Xiao Han.

He was dressed in a sharp black suit, his bangs were combed back, and he looked smart and handsome.

"Hello, friends from South Korea, I am actor Lin Shaobai."

"Actually, I've been here a few times before, but not very often. This time, I came here for work."

"Well, every time I come here, the one thing I absolutely have to do is eat delicious food."

Lin Shaobai said this rather against his conscience.

To be honest, I feel that no other country's food can be as diverse and delicious as China's.

"I have seen how much Korean netizens love Ashes of Love. Thank you for your support. I am very happy to see this."

"How do I keep my skin so healthy? I think it's all about moisturizing. If you do a good job of moisturizing, your skin will be healthy."

"I'm very happy and grateful for everyone's support."

He didn't have any activities for the next few days, so he devoted himself entirely to filming on set, during which there were kissing scenes.

Lin Shaobai and Yang Zichun have a pure brotherly relationship.

Filming kissing scenes with her was purely out of the mind that it's part of an actor's job.

Isn't filming kissing scenes normal for actors? So he didn't think much of it.

It was just a normal shoot according to the script, with normal dialogue and normal kissing.

Of course, this kiss involves unbuckling the seatbelt and leaning out of the car window to kiss.

Yang Zi smiled shyly after the kiss.

"Great shot!! This one's guaranteed, let's shoot another one."

The staff all grinned broadly.

This kissing scene was quite sweet.

Lin Shaobai blinked in confusion, looking like he was about to film another kissing scene with Yang Zi.

I had many kissing scenes with Yang Zi when we filmed Ashes of Love.

After filming, Yang Zi shyly ran behind the camera to check on the two of them.

Lin Shaobai quickly walked over as well.

When Yang Zi saw him arrive, she deliberately made a gagging face next to him.

Lin Shaobai's eyes widened when he saw it: "What the hell?! Is it really necessary to react like this if it weren't for you?"

Lin Shaobai thought to himself that he hadn't eaten any garlic, onions, or other random things.

Actors always brush their teeth thoroughly before filming a kissing scene, otherwise it would be very awkward.

"Hehe, just kidding, don't be so nervous."

Yang Zi immediately smiled, then her expression turned to one of horror: "You didn't actually eat something weird, did you?"

Lin Shaobai: "I think it's because you might eat these weird things, and you're blaming me?"

Yang Zi: "Yes, that's right. I ate all sorts of spicy and stimulating foods this morning, including onions, ginger, and garlic."

"I give up." Lin Shaobai knew she was joking, so he could only shrug.

"Oh right, let's go to karaoke with Yitian and the others tonight! I'm going to show off my singing skills!"

"Then every time I order a ton of food there, I get fat and then I start to regret why I ate so much?"

If a female celebrity gains weight, her rivals can take hundreds of unflattering photos of her.

And this unflattering picture of the chubby girl will remain on their phones forever.

This picture is brought up every time a fight starts.

Or even if someone is only moderately overweight, they can appear to weigh 200 pounds in the eyes of haters.

I can't imagine how terrifying Kuroko's hands are.
They can even Photoshop fakes to make them look real.

"Do you feel guilty if you don't mention your weight?" Yang Zi said helplessly.

Lin Shaobai thought that filming was about to wrap up and there wouldn't be many more opportunities to get together with everyone like this to eat, so he nodded in agreement.

However, they finished work very late today, almost 11 o'clock, so they didn't go to the karaoke bar until the early hours of the morning.

It's just about eating, drinking, and singing.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and it was past 1 a.m. when they came out.

Lin Shaobai went back to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning and checked Weibo, it felt like the sky had fallen.

The top trending topic is #Lin Shaobai Yang Zi#
It's still a bombshell!!

Lin Shaobai's popularity is terrifying right now.

It would definitely be number one or two trending topics, but why is it this kind of hashtag this time?!

After tapping the video with my finger, I was stunned by what I saw.

Breaking News! Top idol Lin Shaobai and actress Yang Zi spotted having a late-night rendezvous!

Are you out of your mind? Who wrote this title?!
Lin Shaobai opened the video and found that it was a clip of him and Yang Zi coming out of that karaoke bar together.

But this video is also quite interesting.

They only photographed him and Yang Zi, but not the staff behind them, nor Hu Yitian.

The crucial point is that they couldn't even get a picture of the KTV's sign. All everyone knows is that they came out of a blurry building.

Lin Shaobai immediately realized that this was a deliberate attempt to target him and Yang Zi.

After all, he's been incredibly popular lately, with money, online traffic, and fame.

He's now a top celebrity and a billionaire; many people are envious!

They wanted to create some romantic rumors about him to make his fans lose heart and abandon him.

However, the only dirt that can be spread about Lin Shaobai is his romantic scandals.

Unfortunately, he and those female celebrities from before were not discovered.

How could they be photographed with nothing more than a pure brotherly relationship with Yang Zi?!
He opened his phone's contacts and found sixteen missed calls.

The agent is going crazy with phone calls!
"Sorry, Sister Li, my phone was on silent at the time, so I didn't see it."

"Sigh, never mind, we'll talk about silencing later. What's going on between you and Yang Zi? Tell me the truth, even if you've been dating, tell me the truth!"

"No, no, we didn't talk about it. We're just friends. I'm not lying to you. We made plans a long time ago to go to karaoke after get off work, with our staff. There were a lot of people, including Hu Yitian. It was really just a simple meal and karaoke. It was just because I got off work late."

Lin Shaobai patiently explained.

After listening, the agent fell silent for a while, then said, "So this is just pure fabrication?"

"Yes. Yang Zi and I are purely business partners. I never expected that even going out to sing a song would be photographed like this. The main thing is, right now the CP fans are hoping you two get together, while the solo fans want to tear Yang Zi apart. And they just had to wait for this moment to release it..."

"Let's clarify that we're just friends," Lin Shaobai said slowly.

As soon as the call ended, Yang Zi called Lin Shaobai.

"Hey Shao Bai, have you seen the trending topics?"

"I saw it. They're saying we're a couple, having a late-night rendezvous. Tell me, who goes on a late-night rendezvous with a bunch of staff?"

"I'm speechless. We're completely innocent, and we even got photographed going to karaoke with staff. Then they say we're having an affair?! And that we were having a private get-together?! Isn't that insane?"

Yang Zi was so angry that he mumbled something.

Lin Shaobai: "It's alright, let's all clarify things quickly."

"Yes, we both have to issue a statement. This is ridiculous."

If only one party posts while the other doesn't, it can be misinterpreted as someone eager to break up the couple, acting like they've crossed the river and then burned the bridge, a sign of ingratitude.

This caused an uproar among fans on Weibo.

As soon as this happened, fans immediately started to clarify things for Lin Shaobai without asking any questions.

The two are simply good friends; they did not meet in person.

Stop talking! They're just friends, I swear on my integrity!

[Who would believe they have nothing going on, spending the whole night together like that?]

[Fans are really deceiving themselves.]

[You'll only admit it if there are photos of you in bed together, right?]

[Our Shao Bai is exceptionally beautiful. Don't even mention plastic surgery.]

With Lin Shaobai having such good resources, who knows which rich woman he's sleeping with?

[Is the person upstairs living a very miserable life in real life? Otherwise, why would they come online to spread rumors?]

However, I actually hope they get together; I've been shipping them as a couple lately.

And at the same time

A university in China

Female college student Chen Siqi only got up because she didn't have an early morning class.

When she opened her phone, she found that her idol, Lin Shaobai, was trending on social media, and that he was having an affair with a female celebrity. She felt like the sky had fallen!
"what!!!"

Then came a scream.

Her other roommates were woken up by her noise and looked at her with resentment.

It almost erupted into a chaotic scene in the girls' dormitory!

"What's with that sudden scream so early in the morning? It's rare to not have early classes, you should get some rest!"

"No, everyone look at Weibo! Lin Shaobai! Lin Shaobai!"

"What happened to Lin Shaobai?!"

The other roommates' eyes lit up when they heard Lin Shaobai's name.

"Quick, check Weibo! Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi are together!!"

"Fuck!"

"I go!!"

"Great! My favorite couple is about to become a reality!"

"Can't you see clearly that they just went out for a meal together? There's no official announcement. Stop spreading rumors, okay?"

"Lin Shaobai is all for show. Our Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi have only a purely professional relationship. Just you wait and see! It'll be cleared up very soon."

"Two people meeting secretly in the early hours of the morning, doesn't that mean they're having an affair?!"

"Our Shao Bai is so handsome, how could he possibly be interested in Yang Zi!"

"What's wrong with Yang Zi?! Lin Shaobai only became famous for one drama, and the key point is that he only became famous for one drama! Our Yang Zi came from 'Home with Kids,' a national drama! And don't forget about the critically acclaimed drama 'Battle of Changsha'!"

"Lin Shaobai only became famous for one drama, because only one drama of his was broadcast, you bastard!"

So it can be really scary if there are rival fans in a dorm.

They might get along quite amicably in normal times, but once it comes down to the celebrities themselves, it's bound to be a fierce battle.

"Hey everyone, wait a minute, stop arguing! It looks like they've released a statement!"

Soon, Lin Shaobai's studio issued a clarification.

[This wasn't a secret rendezvous; it wasn't just the two of them; many friends went to the karaoke bar together. It was a normal get-together.]

It also included the complete video of the time they left the KTV.

Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi were followed by a lot of staff members, as well as the tall and thin Hu Yitian.

Furthermore, Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi got into different cars.

Anyone who spreads rumors will be held legally responsible!
Yang Zi's studio also began to clarify the matter shortly afterward.

That's pretty ridiculous.

It's not like they were photographed entering a hotel.

Going to a karaoke bar for a normal meal can be called a secret rendezvous?!
This hard black is too obvious.

Lin Shaobai's clarification quickly rose to the top of Weibo's trending topics list.

The fan data team needs to get to work.

Fans can do whatever they want as long as they have a clarification from the studio!

He posted on Weibo everywhere to clarify this easily misunderstood post.

Now everyone is pointing the finger at that marketing account that spreads rumors.

Moreover, it was deliberately slanderous in the first place.

Netizens also joked that if paparazzi have nothing better to do, they should just find a job in a factory.

They film these useless things all day long. Someone sings a song late at night and is with the staff, and everyone says it's a rendezvous.

What's the difference between this and Wu Jing and Mary traveling together, only to have Mary mistaken for a hot, red-haired beauty?!

Mary herself would probably laugh her head off if she heard that description.

Previously, when Huang Xiaoming threw a bottle of water into the trash can, the media portrayed it as Huang Xiaoming pitifully searching for water in the trash can.

Later, netizens who were just following the story clicked into the Weibo post but couldn't see anything strange about the relationship between Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi.

The restless fans in the university also quieted down.

"Great! I told you our Bai Bai is very career-oriented and wouldn't date."

"Male celebrities are prone to scandals, so you'd better be careful."

“Our Bai Bai would never do that,” Chen Siqi said excitedly. “Bai Bai just goes to the set to film every day. Her relationship with Yang Zi is purely professional, and you see, she immediately came out to clarify.”

"So it turns out they're just friends."

"It's okay to ship them as a couple on the surface, but they're all busy with their own lives in private."

"Thank goodness, it's good that I'm not in a relationship."
