Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 103, Section 102: Senior Sister and Princess Both Worry About Him (4K)

other end

Zhang Jingyi stared blankly at the phone after it was hung up, still somewhat dazed.

It's summer vacation at the Beijing Film Academy.

She flew home early and then spent the rest of her time chatting with Lin Shaobai on her phone.

Why was I rejected after making a phone call?

Zhang Jingyi scratched her temple with her index finger.

Could it be that Lin Shaobai has some urgent matter?
That's what she was thinking.

The princess had long considered Lin Shaobai her boyfriend, even though Lin Shaobai hadn't said anything.

Sometimes I wonder if I should bring this up?
But Zhang Jingyi doesn't have a straightforward personality like Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye also had some doubts about this at the time. Since the two of them had already gone that far, they should at least prove their relationship.

So she chose to ask directly.

Zhang Jingyi also had this question in her mind...

However, for various reasons, she decided it was better not to ask.

She was leaning against the bed, holding her phone obediently in both hands, waiting for Lin Shaobai to reply.

I waited and waited, and an hour, two hours passed...

Lin Shaobai did not return her call.

"I guess, I guess he's asleep."

Zhang Jingyi muttered.

"He must have something urgent that prevented him from replying to me. Oh well, it's the same if we talk about it tomorrow."

Zhang Jingyi placed her phone aside.

Perhaps because she had just fallen in love, Zhang Jingyi was now completely thinking from Lin Shaobai's perspective, and was thinking about everything from his point of view.

It's okay if you don't reply to messages, it's okay if you hang up the phone, as long as you reply in the end.

"Too."

Zhang Jingyi was holding a plush toy she had bought a long time ago. After the lights were turned off, she gazed leisurely at the ceiling.

"He's a big star, the most popular young actor born in 1995. He must be very busy, so it's understandable that he hung up on me."

"But to be able to date a top star like him..."

Zhang Jingyi's face was filled with a happy smile as she buried her head in the pillow.

This was something I never dared to imagine before, but now it has come true.

"I will definitely cherish you, Shao Bai."

……

……

……

The next morning

Zhou Ye arrived at the film set alone and stood there repeatedly looking at the script.

She does indeed have to act out a scene today where she gets beaten up by Lin Shaobai.

The story here is set against the backdrop of Xiao Bei, the male protagonist played by Lin Shaobai, who has promised to protect the female protagonist Chen Nian.

To protect the female lead, it is necessary to first warn Wei Lai, the person who bullied her.

Lin Shaobai will corner Zhou Ye against the wall, pin her down, and warn her not to touch the female lead again.

Then he stuck the knife next to Zhou Ye.

Its main function is to issue a warning.

He wouldn't actually go and beat up the character.

Zhou Ye had already changed his clothes and was now wearing a white baseball cap and a casual, tight-fitting crop top.

Lin Shaobai also changed into his thug outfit and came out.

In this movie, he was always dressed in dirty clothes.

It's obvious at a glance that he was a child who was abandoned by his parents and no one cared for him when he was young.

They never received any care or attention from their grandparents or maternal grandparents.

Zhou Ye was about to leave a place that looked like a coffee shop when Lin Shaobai flicked his cigarette ash after he walked a short distance away.

They definitely don't need to actually flick cigarette ash; it's just for show.

Zhou Ye knew that Wei Lai was a villain, but not the kind of villain who was aggressive and manipulative.

She has a cute appearance, but there is always a sense of disdain in her eyes.

Despise everyone.

Playing this role is more about the inner expression.

Before filming this scene, the director came to Zhou Ye and Lin Shaobai to give them some pointers.

Director: "When the time comes, you just flick her and then press your hand firmly against her neck, pinning her against the wall."

He demonstrated with his hands as he spoke.

The director originally wanted to use Zhou Ye's theft as an example, but Lin Shaobai stopped him.

Lin Shaobai patted his neck, and the director immediately understood and placed his hand on his neck.

"Press Wei Lai against the wall, then hold the knife in your right hand and stick it next to her neck, saying, 'Don't touch Chen Nian.' Your tone must be low and menacing."

The director released his hand and then looked at Zhou Ye: "And then you'll be scared and cry."

Zhou Ye nodded.

Director: "Normally, people would cry, right?"

Zhou Ye: "Hmm."

"Alright, that's settled. Get ready."

After the director left, Lin Shaobai looked at Zhou Ye.

The two looked at each other but neither spoke.

After a while, Zhou Ye went up the steps, ready to begin.

"action!"

After filming began, Zhou Ye leisurely walked out of the coffee shop with his phone in hand.

With that relaxed and pleasant demeanor, who would have thought she would bully people?
She did so many bad things, but she felt absolutely no guilt about it.

He acted as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Ye kept his head down looking at his phone, and then Lin Shaobai came on stage.

"Hey."

Lin Shaobai's voice was devoid of any emotion, so deep it was frightening.

The moment Zhou Ye turned around, Lin Shaobai casually flicked cigarette ash into her face.

Of course, it's fake cigarette ash and won't cause any harm to the actors.

Zhou Ye quickly covered his face and made a painful sound.

Before he could react, Lin Shaobai slammed him against the wall!

Zhou Ye's face slammed hard against the wall, making a very clear sound!
The sound itself wasn't the problem; the main issue was that Lin Shaobai was pressing Zhou Ye's head tightly with his hand, and she started whimpering in discomfort.

It sounds like a puppy whimpering when it's upset.

Lin Shaobai has feelings for Zhou Ye.

Therefore, he couldn't remain unmoved by this situation.

After hesitating for a second, he hardened his heart and stuck the knife next to Zhou Ye.

Lin Shaobai is now playing the male lead, Xiao Bei, in the movie.

The person he likes is Chen Nian, the female protagonist who is isolated and bullied.

The person in front of us is the culprit, so we cannot have any sympathy for him.

Lin Shaobai's eyes instantly flashed with an unprecedented sharpness.

He slowly leaned down, getting closer and closer to Zhou Ye's ear.

"Don't touch Chen Nian."

When he said those four words, Lin Shaobai gripped the knife with all his might, his veins bulging on his hands.

Zhou Ye's breathing became visibly heavier, and instinctive fear made her start to cry.

My whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

After finishing his sentence, Lin Shaobai pulled out his knife, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away into the distance.

Even though the other person had disappeared from the alleyway for a long time, Zhou Ye still hadn't come to her senses. She stood there as if her soul had been ripped from her body, trying her best not to cry.

"OK!! Cut!!"

After the director called out, Lin Shaobai quickly ran over to Zhou Ye.

The environment here was very oppressive, and it was nighttime. Zhou Ye was naturally frightened under such circumstances, and he didn't need to use any props.

Lin Shaobai: "Are you... are you alright?"

Zhou Ye wiped away his tears, feeling distressed.

But the director said that this scene had to be preserved, so we had to film it again.

He specifically called Lin Shaobai over.

"After you pinned Zhou Ye against the wall, you hesitated for a moment, didn't you?"

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Yes."

Director: "You can't bring yourself to do it, right? You're afraid of hurting her."

Lin Shaobai recalled that he had initially hurt the child in private.

But the pain from that is different from the pain from this.

"In short, you need to go a bit harder. I think you should leave no room for compromise."

Zhou Ye happened to walk over as well.

She had already touched up her makeup and came to Lin Shaobai: "The director is right, just pin me against the wall hard."

Actually, what I wanted to say next was not to feel sorry for me.

Fortunately, she still had some sense and swallowed her words.

"okay, I get it."

After communication, the scene was finally over smoothly.

The entire crew was in a very depressed state during the filming of "Better Days".

Everything about the setting, the dialogue, and the plot was oppressive and dark.

However, Lin Shaobai was quite lucky.

The only few scenes that gave him a sense of hope for the future were his scenes with Zhou Dongyu.

After the filming ended today, Zhou Ye did not return to the hotel, but instead took the bus to his grandmother's house.

Filming in that kind of environment every day, Zhou Ye really needed to do something to release his stress.

So I decided to go find my grandmother.

In Zhou Ye's heart, being with his grandmother makes him feel gentle and slows down time.

Perhaps most grandmothers in the world give people this feeling.

Kind and forgiving of all your flaws.

Zhou Ye brought a lot of things to visit his grandmother. After chatting briefly, he sat down in the yard with a small chair.

"Grandma. I think being an actor is quite interesting."

She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the night sky as she spoke quietly.

The sultry summer breeze carries a lingering, bittersweet scent.

A cool, green hue.

The lanterns outside the courtyard gate seemed to blend with the moonlight, their glow falling on the bluestone slabs beneath their feet.

Grandma: "Really?"

Zhou Ye laughed: "Really. I can experience all kinds of lives, although... although it's sometimes painful, I think I can see through the phenomena to the essence. Didn't I tell you before about making a movie? I play a villain in the movie. This is my first time playing a villain."

Grandma: "Our Xiaoye is playing a bad guy."

"She's a bad person, and in my mind, she's a really, really bad person. She bullies her classmates because her family is rich. But I know that she became like this because of her family and some things in society that shaped her personality. Sometimes the environment really can influence a person."

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, he sighed deeply.

If Wei Lai had received normal values, education, and plenty of love from her family since childhood.

Perhaps she won't become like this in the future.

Zhou Ye sighed, "I feel that playing a villain is a kind of torture. Grandma, I suffer a lot every day when I'm filming, I cry a lot."

She didn't want her grandmother to feel sorry for her when she said that, so she forced a smile.

"But I didn't bother anyone while filming. It was only after filming that I couldn't take it anymore and cried. The director told me that I acted in this drama to make everyone pay more attention to campus safety. After watching my performance... everyone will definitely hate it, but I also hope that everyone can see through the phenomenon and pay attention to campus safety."

Zhou Ye murmured a lot to her grandmother. With her grandmother, she would let down all her guard.

"Oh, right, Grandma."

"what happened?"

"I have something to tell you. You have to keep it a secret for me."

"Ok?"

"I have a boyfriend who is younger than me. He is tall and handsome, gentle and humorous, and he can also write songs, sing, and act well. I always feel especially happy and blissful when I'm with him."

When Zhou Ye said this, his eyes were shining, showing that he truly longed for a better life.

"He's my first love, and he's the boy I like the most right now. He's so amazing..."

"What's your name?"

"Oh, I'll keep your name a secret." Zhou Ye smiled adorably.

She couldn't reveal Lin Shaobai's name.

No one can be told about my relationship with Lin Shaobai.

Even family members couldn't tell, because the news would spread like wildfire, and eventually everyone would know that Lin Shaobai was dating.

“She is a very capable person, so I can’t say her name; I have to protect her.”

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, he put his hands on his hips and looked at the scenery in the distance.

"Without him, many films and television shows wouldn't have been able to be made."

Without him, I would have to bear every night I cried alone.

Zhou Ye thought to himself.

Fortunately, Lin Shaobai was there to accompany Zhou Ye in this movie.

She thoughtfully stood by him, giving him guidance, telling him about the play, and making him happy.

Zhou Ye remembered Lin Shaobai's kindness, and those scenes played on repeat in her mind like an old movie.

She knew in her heart that Lin Shaobai was the kind of person who could help her go further and further.

They can help her both in life and in her career.

Such a person is rare and hard to find, so she didn't want to lose Lin Shaobai.

The gap between the two of them is just too big now...

Zhou Ye also thought that one day he would be kicked away by Lin Shaobai.

This guy is also very imaginative; he can even describe exactly how he was kicked.

I do have this worry, but I try not to think about it that way.

At least for now, they love each other very much and are very sweet together.

"Grandma, I promise you."

Suddenly, Zhou Ye thought of something and stood up from the wooden chair with her hands on her hips.

"I'm sure I'll become a big star, so Grandma can see me on TV. In the future, I want to be on the Spring Festival Gala, and then you can brag to all the grandmas and grandpas around you, saying, 'Your granddaughter was on the Spring Festival Gala!'"

Zhou Ye's grandmother looked at her very gently, her eyes full of affection. Then she got up, hugged Zhou Ye, and patted her head: "Grandma believes in you. I hope Xiao Ye can be happy."

"Yes! By the way, Grandma, please take care of yourself!"

……

On the other end, Lin Shaobai returned Zhang Jingyi's call after finishing a long day's work.

As a top celebrity today, he certainly won't be idle after work; he has other tasks to do.

I'll call the princess after everything is settled.

Zhang Jingyi was not resentful after receiving the call; on the contrary, she was excited.

"Shaobai. You finally called me back. I know you're busy, so I didn't bother you again."

"Oh..." Lin Shaobai hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm alright, I've been busy filming lately. How are you?"

"I...I'm spending my summer vacation at home, which is great, it's just...I kind of miss you."

Zhang Jingyi would start stuttering whenever such a topic came up, inexplicably lacking frankness.

With her reserved personality, she would always feel very shy saying such things.
