Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 10. Zhou Ye's Visit

The next day
Lin Shaobai was filming with Yang Zi on set.

His mother has already arranged for him to take leave from school military training.

The military training was still scorching hot, and Princess Zhang Jingyi barely managed to adapt.

However, she was only getting used to the weather and was still a little confused about Lin Shaobai's absence.

Around 10 a.m., Zhang Jingyi and the others had just finished standing at attention and were now resting on the lawn.

Logically, she should have chatted with the girls on either side of her, but this time she deliberately turned around to look.

The seat that was originally supposed to be Lin Shaobai's is now occupied by another boy.

The boy unintentionally made eye contact with Zhang Jingyi and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Jingyi was, after all, known as the most beautiful art student of 2017, so he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a face.

“Zhang Jingyi…”

"Ok?"

Zhang Jingyi turned around when she heard someone calling her from behind.

The boy was very nervous. He quickly straightened his military training uniform and said, "You, look at me, is there something you want to say to me?"

Zhang Jingyi blinked twice, calmly yet awkwardly, then shook her head: "No."

"Um... well, okay. I thought you suddenly looked at me because you had something to say to me, but it seems I was overthinking it."

The boy took off his military training cap and scratched the back of his head, now wishing he could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Zhang Jingyi came to her senses, slowly bent her legs, and placed her face on her knees.

She knew in her heart that she had turned her head just now to look at Lin Shaobai.

Why did I suddenly want to see him?

Is it really because of that "princess"?
Or was it because he took the initiative to explain to the instructor on his behalf?

Among the boys, I only know Lin Shaobai so far...

"Jingyi, what are you thinking about?"

The girl next to Zhang Jingyi noticed that something was wrong and took the initiative to grab her arm.

Zhang Jingyi shook her head quietly and smiled, "It's nothing. I was just thinking that Lin Shaobai hasn't had military training for two days."

Why care about him?

"...I don't care."

Zhang Jingyi quickly denied the rumors, lest they spread the word that she liked Lin Shaobai right after the start of the semester!
"His mother is the vice dean of our college. If he doesn't want to suffer during military training, it's just a matter of a word."

"Did he really ask for leave from military training because he didn't want to suffer?" Zhang Jingyi asked.

The girl next to him shrugged: "What else could it be? Is there any other reason?"

Zhang Jingyi remained silent.

She felt that Lin Shaobai must have had other reasons for taking leave; it couldn't possibly be just because he didn't want to come to military training...

"Hey?" The girl next to me suddenly pointed to a long-haired sophomore in the distance: "That senior has been looking this way, like she's looking for someone, right?"

Zhang Jingyi still rested her face on her knees, gazing wistfully at her senior sister in the distance.

"Zhou Ye?"

When the sunlight wasn't so glaring anymore, she could see her senior's face clearly and blurted out her name.

"Hey, you know her?"

"Of course I don't know her. How could I possibly know her? It's just because she's a little famous."

Why are you somewhat famous?

"Because my senior sister is very beautiful."

The Beijing Film Academy's acting department has no shortage of good-looking students, but those who stand out will still attract attention.

Zhou Ye has a small head and face, fair skin, and delicate features. It's impossible for someone like him to remain unknown.

Zhang Jingyi only remembered Zhou Ye because she happened to see his photo on the school forum.

At this moment, Zhou Ye, who was in the distance, looked around and found it strange that Lin Shaobai was not in the company.

Zhou Ye had his hands behind his back, holding her phone in his hand.

"Strange, I've looked three times already, but I still can't find Lin Shaobai. Although everyone is wearing the same military training uniform, Lin Shaobai is tall and handsome, so I should be able to spot him immediately."

Zhou Ye's mere walk in that direction attracted the attention of several boys. What a gorgeous senior!

Seeing that the search was fruitless, Zhou Ye could only leave silently.

Then I called Lin Shaobai.

"Hey Lin Shaobai, why didn't you come to military training?"

"I'm filming a movie."

Filming a movie???

Zhou Ye froze on the spot. She glanced at her phone screen and continued, "Didn't you just start school? You already have acting roles?"

"Yes. This is a role I fought for even before I enrolled in school. I value this role a lot, so I had to take leave from military training."

"You've also signed up for a singing competition... Does that mean you're trying to do both?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye raised his eyebrows.

It seems that Lin Shaobai's previous statement about becoming a well-rounded artist was not just empty talk; he has actually taken action to achieve it.

"So... you're pretty good..."

"There's no way around it, I was born to be an all-around entertainer."

"You're really not modest at all, even if I just give you this much praise."

"I'm telling the truth, why be modest?"

"...You really do take a little credit for things, Junior Brother Lin Shaobai."

Zhou Ye's tone rose slightly.

She has now completely let her guard down with Lin Shaobai, to the point that she speaks much more playfully than before.

"I even came to the playground specifically to look for you, but I didn't see you."

"Wow, my senior sister searched the whole playground for me just for an umbrella."

"It's not just about the umbrella!"

"Then why?" Lin Shaobai asked deliberately.

"I'm not talking to you anymore! I'm hanging up!"

On the film set

Lin Shaobai put down his phone.

Yang Zi, who was resting next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey Lin Shaobai, it's really rare to see someone act in a film during their freshman year of college."

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Yes, I don't want to miss this show."

Yang Zi: "So you still had to film this drama even while attending school?"

"Yes," Lin Shaobai answered with particular firmness.

Because of his past experiences, he knew this show was bound to be a huge hit.

When we arrived here to film, we discovered that, apart from the actors in Ashes of Love, the behind-the-scenes team was even more meticulous, rigorous, and strived for excellence.

It is indeed a high-caliber production team.

The photographers here seem to have been martial arts masters in their past lives, capable of leaping across rooftops and scaling walls with ease; their figures can be seen everywhere, on trees and rooftops.

The weather was terrible at the beginning of filming, with several days of torrential rain. The location was flooded and the roads were muddy, but the production team still managed to create a filming environment that satisfied everyone.

To capture the ideal fantasy world, including the magnificent celestial realm, the romantic flower realm, the exotic demon realm, and the natural landscapes of the human world, the production team invested nearly 300 million yuan.

Indeed, the success of a drama depends on everyone involved, both in front of and behind the camera.

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that Mr. Yang Tianbao's "General and I" was criticized.

Do they think the audience is stupid, trying to fool them like that?

"But you didn't start out as a child star, and I think your acting skills are quite good."

Yang Zi paused for a moment and then spoke.

She knew that Lin Shaobai could handle her acting, and the two worked together very well.

But the problem is, didn't Lin Shaobai just enter the Beijing Film Academy?

How can someone's acting be so good?
