Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 169, Section 168: Chen Duling: Let's not leave tonight (6K)

"You killed me."

Wang Churan pointed at Lin Shaobai and said.

"You really have no tact when it comes to your words."

He's a chatterbox, and also speaks without restraint.

People...

"But Teacher Lin, I want to praise you. Although I've praised you quite a lot, I still want to praise you again."

Wang Churan, who had been walking alongside Lin Shaobai, ran ahead of him after saying this, turned around and smiled, saying, "I know I talk a lot, and many people have disliked me for it."

"Ok?"

Lin Shaobai didn't expect Wang Churan to say that.

This person actually has self-awareness?!

"I've always enjoyed sharing my daily life with people, but I only talk to close friends and family. I tell you about almost everything, big and small. Sometimes I wonder, do you ever find me annoying?"

"meeting."

"Hey! You said I'm outspoken, but you're the one who's outspoken! Don't you know what a white lie is? Lying makes me happy, so why did you just blurt it out!"

Wang Churan blushed instantly, her lips pursed slightly, and her brows furrowed.

He looked angry, but it made people laugh.

Just a few seconds ago she was passionately sharing her girlish thoughts, and the next second she was completely speechless.

"Alright, alright."

Lin Shaobai took a step forward, and Wang Churan, still angry, deliberately stepped back.

Not content with taking one step back, she took three steps back in one go!
It's like a child throwing a tantrum, wanting to sever ties with Lin Shaobai.

The emotions hidden in those big eyes seemed to say, "I've already said that, so there's no way I can get close to you!"
Stay away from me!
When Wang Churan gets angry, she can be a little childish, but also a little cute.

Lin Shaobai can distinguish between genuine anger and feigned anger.

He immediately stopped in his tracks, straightened his back, and said, "Miss Wang, what are you doing?"

"I'm angry!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Tell the truth? You really find me annoying?"

Wang Churan felt a little wronged.

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, then pointed to the car in the distance and said, "Alright, let's talk in the car. We still need to get to the airport, don't we?"

Wang Churan flew here specifically for the interview and was in a hurry to catch a plane home.

"Okay, okay... let's get in the car and talk more."

Wang Churan ran over and opened the car door, while Lin Shaobai walked over unhurriedly.

The two sat together in the back row, but neither of them spoke after they went in.

The driver in front sensed that something was off, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Ten minutes after the car started moving, Wang Churan suddenly exhaled dramatically!
She looked like she was about to suffocate while swimming and then suddenly breathed in fresh air.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Lin Shaobai quickly asked.

Even if you get carsick, it shouldn't be this bad.

"I just couldn't hold it in any longer."

Wang Churan turned to look at Lin Shaobai and said sincerely.

"Holding back? Holding back what? Do you need to go to the toilet?"

"Tsk. Why go to the toilet?"

Wang Churan felt a moment of shyness. She looked down at the time and grabbed Lin Shaobai's hand.

"I said I couldn't hold it in anymore, I wanted to talk to you, I've been holding it in for 11 minutes and 03 seconds!"

"Ok?"

Lin Shaobai's face darkened.

The driver, who was focused on driving, was even more confused.

The driver had been following Lin Shaobai the whole time, and he had also seen several of the female celebrities in the back seat.

Wow, it seems the boss has attracted someone with his unique charm again.

The driver sighed.

"Aren't you annoyed with me? Then I'm thinking I'll talk to you less."

Wang Churan lowered her head, her voice as soft as a feather.

His eyes began to dart away, unwilling to look directly at Lin Shaobai anymore.

She was afraid that she would hear something hurtful from Lin Shaobai's mouth at any moment.

Lin Shaobai rarely saw Wang Churan with such an expression; perhaps what he had just said had really hurt her.

"If you find me annoying... I'll talk less and won't bother you, but please don't... don't leave me."

Wang Churan's heartbeat gradually quickened, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

My throat felt tight, and I had to be careful when I breathed.

"Ugh."

Why are you sighing? Just give me an answer, stop sighing!

Wang Churan subconsciously tightened her grip, her fingernails digging into Lin Shaobai's palm, leaving a mark.

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

She quickly withdrew her hand, her eyes now filled with more guilt.

"You talk a lot."

"I'm sorry," Wang Churan quickly said.

This time, Lin Shaobai took the initiative to hold Wang Churan's hand, his tone gentler than before: "But there's nothing to apologize for. It's just your personality. Besides, what you said back then was a joke. I just had a headache, but I didn't find it annoying."

"Headache? Isn't that the same as being annoyed?"

As Wang Churan spoke, she pouted again, looking pitiful.

"The headache is that I have to understand every single word you say."

Do you read every single word I say?

Wang Churan said with delight.

"Of course. Imagine if you sent 99+ messages every time, and I had to read every single one of them. Wouldn't that hurt my eyes and give me a headache?"

"Oh……"

"You may be a chatterbox, but just keep talking. I don't find you annoying, so don't overthink it."

"I'm so touched, what you said almost made me cry! I can use two pounds of paper now!"

Wang Churan sniffled twice.

"You don't have to be that dramatic, and what's with the two pounds of paper?"

"Truly worthy of being our handsome, dashing, charming, elegant, and refined Lin Shaobai, with his ancient carvings, exceptional talent, and witty conversation... a man of both beauty and talent!"

Wang Churan rattled off a whole bunch of adjectives, and Lin Shaobai could barely count them all!
The driver sitting in the front was even more shocked.

I was thinking, how could this woman say such a thing?

She's so beautiful, I thought she was a quiet, reserved goddess.

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment, then laughed in an annoyed tone.

What to say?

I was charmed by Wang Churan's cuteness.

Despite his talkative nature, his cheerful, optimistic, slightly eccentric, and somewhat neurotic personality is strangely endearing.

"What are you laughing at? You're not actually charmed by how cute I am, are you?"

Wang Churan said.

Yes. You guessed right.

"It's normal, it's perfectly normal to be amazed by my cuteness or beauty. Teacher Lin, you don't need to blame yourself too much, it's nothing."

"..."

"Okay, as long as you don't mind me. If you find me annoying, then I'll just..."

"What will you do?" Lin Shaobai asked curiously as he leaned closer.

His eyes seemed to say, "What can you do, little juice?"
Wang Churan also craned her neck to get very close to him, almost touching his face, and said, "If you find me annoying, I'll kneel down and beg you not to find me annoying!"

Saying such spineless words with an expression of unyielding integrity.

Yes, I completely agree with Wang Churan.

"puff."

Lin Shaobai didn't laugh, but the driver sitting in the front laughed first.

After he finished laughing, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."

Wang Churan was a little unhappy and pretended to be angry: "Uncle, what are you laughing at?"

"..."

The driver remained silent.

"Alright, let's leave it at that." Wang Churan turned to Lin Shaobai with a smile and said, "Let me tell you, back then the director said I was the chosen one, Li Muzi. As soon as he saw me, he decided to cast me as Li Muzi."

"Ah."

The movie "The Vanished" was a huge hit, and even though Li Muzi was a very minor character, it didn't stop her from winning over the audience.

This role will definitely become one of the actor's signature roles.

"Li Muzi is pure and kind, beautiful and artistic, she's such a perfect match for me." Wang Churan suddenly propped her chin on her hand and looked out the window, pretending to be deep in thought.

Lin Shaobai remained silent.

He moved to the other side and looked out the window as well.

Seeing that Lin Shaobai didn't give a reply, Wang Churan quickly said, "Tsk tsk tsk, what a hypocrite."

"The key to being hypocritical is that one's words and actions don't match one's true feelings. I haven't even said anything, so how can I be hypocritical?"

"You also think I'm very similar to the character Li Muzi, which is why you recommended me so strongly, right? You must also think I'm that kind of person, even if you don't say it, I understand."

Wang Churan turned her head and pinched Lin Shaobai's arm.

Her lips curled up slightly, her smile carrying a hint of playfulness.

This Miss Wang really loves to smile when she's with Lin Shaobai.

"Fine. Whatever makes you happy."

Lin Shaobai got up, took the small cake from the passenger seat, and handed it to Wang Churan.

"Ok?"

Wang Churan leaned to the side and glanced at the passenger seat.

That's strange, how come I didn't notice anything on the passenger side earlier?
The cake wasn't big; it fit perfectly in the palm of my hand.

The packaging is quite exquisite, but it seems to be only enough for a few bites.

Lin Shaobai pointed to the cake box with his hand: "I bought this for you. I thought you still need to control your weight, so I bought the small size. It's just the right size for you, and it won't interfere with your flight."

"But it's not my birthday. Why did you buy me a cake?"

As Wang Churan spoke, she untied the ribbon from the cake gift box and began eating it with a spoon.

"Yeah! Delicious!"

She blinked, her eyes filled with longing for the food.

"It's not like you only eat cake on your birthday. Isn't this to celebrate getting a movie role?"

"You bought it in advance?"

"Yes. I felt that this role was perfect for you, so I bought the tickets in advance."

"What if I don't get selected?"

Wang Churan was enjoying her meal when she casually asked a question.

Lin Shaobai thought that such a thing was simply impossible.

This was someone he personally recommended, and the film company explicitly agreed to it.

It's impossible for anything to go wrong.

"If you don't get selected, I'll just eat the cake myself, what else can I do?"

Lin Shaobai was joking.

"No way, even if I don't get chosen, you still have to give me the cake. By the way, this cake is quite pretty, it has lots of flowers on it."

Wang Churan ate all three flowers on the cake and said, "I know, all these flowers on this cake must mean I'm going to walk a flowery path! That's right, flowers represent walking a flowery path. I'm so touched that you specially bought a cake with so many flowers for me."

"..."

Lin Shaobai was dumbfounded.

He just randomly picked one at the cake shop, bought it, and left.

How did it become like this?

"Shaobai, you are so kind. You have put in so much effort for me. I have no way to repay you except—"

"Stop. Eat quickly."

"Oh."

Wang Churan continued to eat her cake quietly with her head down.

After settling the chatterbox, Lin Shaobai continued to look out the window.

He was thinking that the TV series was going to be filmed until July, and after that, he would go straight to filming a movie.

He doesn't have much free time. However, his goal is to release another song this year.

Among his fans are those who like him as an actor and those who like him as a singer.

Many fans left comments saying they wanted to hear his songs.

"A Little Reunion" will be released soon, and Zhou Ye will make his debut with the role of Qiao Yingzi.

Everyone will remember her name, and judging by the timeline, the movie "Better Days" will also be released.

With these two coming together, Zhou Ye's senior sister is likely to become quite famous.

"However, Shaobai."

Wang Churan's words interrupted Lin Shaobai's thoughts.

She finished the cake in no time and put the used utensils back in the box.

"Oh, thank you for recommending me. Thank you."

Lin Shaobai stared at her, propping his chin on his hand, and said lazily, "It's strange that you're suddenly so serious."

"I mean it. Thank you for helping me."

Wang Churan was most grateful that she took the initiative and got involved with Lin Shaobai.

This is just a minor role.

Presumably, once she gains some ability in the future, she will definitely be able to get better roles!
Lin Shaobai is already very capable, not to mention his parents who have such powerful backgrounds.

If you just stay with him, you really will have a bright future.

Flower path, flower path, the future is bright!

……

After settling Wang Churan in, Lin Shaobai told Chen Duling about the movie's female lead.

Chen Duling couldn't believe it when she first heard the news.

After appearing in so many TV dramas over the years, the producers realized that Chen Duling's acting skills were not very good, and that it was truly a disaster that every drama she acted in flopped.

If a drama starring a female lead flops too often, it has a significant impact on the actress.

She's not sought after by TV dramas, let alone by high-budget, well-written suspense and mystery films like "The Vanished She".

She was also troubled by the fact that no good notebooks were coming her way.

"Am I really playing the female lead?"

Chen Duling's voice on the phone was still as gentle and unassuming as ever, exuding an air of high intellectualism.

“That’s right, I recommended you to them. The female lead in this movie is a smart and rational character. You have the face of a smart person, and they are quite satisfied with you. We’ve arranged a time to meet, and I’ll go with you. I also have a business event that day.”

"They know me?"

"Of course I know you, Little Ears is so famous. Sister Duling, you have a signature work, a work that will not be forgotten with time."

Chen Duling felt her heart skip a beat when she heard Lin Shaobai's words.

She stood by the window, her gaze calm and distant.

"The Vanished She..."

"You can take a look at the script first. I personally really like this movie, and believe me, it will be a hit."

"Of course I believe you."

Chen Duling answered almost without hesitation.

Over the phone, Lin Shaobai told Chen Duling about the general plot of the movie and what kind of person the female lead, Chen Mai, was.

Chen Duling is very interested in this type of suspenseful crime film, and she was even more excited when she heard that she had the opportunity to play the female lead.

Hurry up and make time to come to Hainan Island with Lin Shaobai to meet the crew members in charge of the interview.

Just before meeting the director of the film crew, Chen Duling suddenly became so nervous that her breathing quickened.

This tension was unusual, and as a result, she gradually slowed down her pace.

Lin Shaobai turned around and found that the other person was quite far away from him, so he ran over and asked, "Sister Duling, what's wrong?"

Chen Duling clenched her right fist and placed it on her chest, slowly raising her eyes from below: "Shaobai, I'm a little nervous."

"It's nothing, just like your audition before."

"but……"

The constant flops of her dramas have left Chen Duling with little confidence.

"Do not worry."

Chen Duling realized that worrying like this wasn't a solution.

Problems must be solved, and anxiety must be managed with a calm mind.

"Okay, wish me luck."

When he spoke again, every word was firm and powerful.

Chen Duling mentally prepared herself before entering the room and meeting the director and producer who were conducting the interview.

Three people sat opposite Chen Duling: two women and one man.

"Chen Duling?"

The director smiled kindly when he saw her: "Hello, nice to meet you."

"Hello director, hello producer, I'm Chen Duling."

I felt a little better after mentally preparing myself, but I still couldn't hide my nervousness.

The producer knows Chen Duling.

However, when I saw her in person, I was still attracted by her scholarly air.

The female lead, Chen Mai, wanted to project an image of high intellectualism.

You at least need to make the audience see that you are a knowledgeable person.

Chen Duling fits this feeling.

When filming the drama, she'll wear glasses and a suit, and she'll definitely be the leading lady.

"Lin Shaobai recommended you to play the female lead in our drama. I heard you even went abroad to study acting recently. So, we'll give you a clip, why don't you give it a try?"

"it is good."

Chen Duling took the script and lines given to her by the director.

This scene depicts the female lead, Shen Man, posing as Chen Mai, a transnational lawyer, leading the male lead into her trap.

Even if it's a scam, you can't let anyone see the flaws.

Your gaze must be assertive, and your overall look must be cool.

She kept a close eye on the male protagonist as he made his request, giving him no chance to hesitate.

About two minutes later, Chen Duling looked at the director.

"Let's begin!"

“He Fei, as my client, you have two obligations. First, you must have 100% trust in me and cannot hide anything from me. Second, you must obey me unconditionally…”

At this moment, Chen Duling's eyes were calm and sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Every word is clear and restrained; a single paragraph is captivating.

I genuinely felt that this person was a charismatic individual.

After Chen Duling finished speaking, she bowed to the three of them again and said politely, "My performance is over."

"it is good."

The director clapped first, his gaze shifting from friendly to appreciative.

"Well done."

The director gave Chen Duling the highest praise.

He glanced at the two producers sitting next to him; the answer from all three of them was already obvious.

Finally, the director stood up, straightened his clothes, and took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Duling.

"Chen Duling, you acted very well. We have decided to cast you as the female lead, Chen Mai, in the movie 'The Vanished She.' We hope to have a pleasant collaboration."

……

Chen Duling was overjoyed after successfully landing the role.

Given her quiet personality, she's unlikely to achieve much.

The one hopping and skipping is Wang Churan.

Filming is scheduled to begin in July 2019, and Chen Duling is eager to start shooting the movie.

To be honest, when she was cast in this role, she wanted to hug Lin Shaobai tightly.

Unfortunately, this is a public place.

That hug would definitely spark a scandal.

No, it's not even a rumor anymore, it's a real relationship.

This incident also made Chen Duling realize that Lin Shaobai was someone she had to rely on.

If you want to continue to have leading roles in films of this caliber or similar television series, as well as more and better business opportunities...

Now we have to rely on Lin Shaobai.

Just a word, a recommendation, and you can have this opportunity.

Moreover, the other party will look at you differently because they see you as Lin Shaobai's friend.

What if she is Lin Shaobai's lover?
Will our opinions change again?
Lin Shaobai had already gone to a hotel on Hainan Island to attend an offline business event, and he didn't have time to read the few messages Chen Duling sent him.

I did it! I'm the female lead in this movie.

【Thank you. 】

After sending the message, Chen Duling put her phone into her bag.

She was standing alone on the beach at that moment.
Looking at the distant sea, I couldn't help but recall the interview I had just had.

"It feels like we were just going through the motions."

Her keen senses detected something amiss.

"I feel like I'll get this role even without an interview."

Chen Duling was blinded by nervousness just now, and now that she has calmed down and thought about it, she feels strange.

It all feels a bit fake from beginning to end.
It gives the impression that from the moment Lin Shaobai made the recommendation, this role was meant for her.

The interview was just a formality.

"Could it really just be a formality?"

Chen Duling spoke again.

"Um……"

I still feel like something's not right.

Lin Shaobai had just finished his business live stream and was sitting in the car on his way back.

He opened his phone and found a message from Chen Duling.

Congratulations, Sister Duling!

I just finished a business event and only just picked up my phone.

Kobayashi, actually, I'd like to see you one more time tonight.

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment when he saw the message sent by Chen Duling.

He turned his head and saw his assistant, Xiao Liu, who was also looking at his phone.

"Xiao Liu, my scene is tomorrow..."

"Boss! Your scene tomorrow is at night, a really late-night shoot. That's going to be tough!"

"Okay, let's stay on Hainan Island tonight."

"what?"

Assistant Xiao Liu was puzzled.

Even if he has 1000 whys, it's not easy to ask.

[I'm not going back. Tomorrow's scene is a night scene, Sister Duling. How about we spend the night together?]

Chen Duling blushed upon seeing these words and blinked awkwardly.

"Huh? Huh?!"

accepted.

Zhen agreed.

Chen Duling lowered her head, her fingertips lightly sliding across the screen, deliberately touching the sentence about Lin Shaobai's white hair.

Lin Shaobai's words made Chen Duling's heart race and her ears involuntarily turn red.

Also.

Since they've already said that, how could they not do it that way?

Chen Duling did not reply to Lin Shaobai for a long time.

What should I reply with now?
She likes Lin Shaobai.

I like it very, very, very much.

I initially just admired his talent, so how did things turn out like this?

I both depend on and like it.

I was already thinking about going abroad.

I missed him again after that kiss.

like.

A stronger desire for liking.
