Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 177, Section 176: Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi have another argument (6K)

Because the TV series "A Little Reunion" achieved impressive ratings on its premiere, Zhou Ye was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.

He tossed and turned in bed, making strange, unpleasant noises.

I just put my phone down and made up my mind to go to sleep.

But a few seconds later, she picked it up again and opened Weibo's trending topics to see what people were saying about her.

Qiao Yingzi is really beautiful.

[Rumor has it that Lin Shaobai recommended Qiao Yingzi as the actress.]

I think this news is quite reliable, because they are both students at the Beijing Film Academy.

Don't you think Lin Shaobai and Zhou Ye are a perfect match?

Sorry, Lin Shaobai is the only one who truly shines.

Zhou Ye is so beautiful; this actress is sure to become famous.

He really portrayed Qiao Yingzi very well.

I love Qiao Yingzi!

"Hey hey hey..."

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

Zhou Ye lay on the bed, his smile harder to suppress than an AK47.

The laughter grew louder and louder, waking up her roommates across from her and next to her.

Roommate A looked bewildered, lifted the bed curtain, and looked at roommate B, who was equally confused.

"Have you heard any strange noises?"

"I heard it too, is it a ghost?"

"It's not a ghost, it's Zhou Ye."

Roommate A pointed to Zhou Ye's bed and said, "Look, she's laughing so hard the curtains are shaking."

"Hey Zhou Ye!"

Roommate B, unable to bear it any longer, shouted.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Zhou Ye immediately stopped what he was doing, lifted the bed curtain, and revealed his exquisite face.

"What happened? What happened? What's wrong?"

"Are you up in the middle of the night, pretending to be a ghost instead of sleeping?"

"What?"

"The laughter was terrifying; it woke us both up, and we thought the dorm was haunted."

"Oh. I'm just too happy to sleep."

Zhou Ye took out her phone and pointed to the positive reviews she received on Weibo.

Roommates A and B exchanged a glance, instantly dispelling most of their doubts and anger.

If that's the reason...

Okay, I guess I'll have to accept it, albeit reluctantly!

"I know you're happy, but everyone needs to sleep."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I won't say anything."

Zhou Ye clasped his hands together, looking like he was begging for forgiveness.

As his roommates went back to bed to sleep, Zhou Ye patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

This is only the first day of the TV series' broadcast and it has already achieved such good results. As the story unfolds, there will be classic plot points involving depression.

The character of Qiao Yingzi will be more complex and well-rounded.

"Great, I'm going to be famous!"

Zhou Ye clenched his fists and happily stretched out his little feet.

Her other roommates were not asleep at all.

They would wish Zhou Ye well in his success, but they also felt a little envious.

Without a strong background, it's impossible to get a good TV series role in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention TV series like "A Little Reunion," which is almost entirely composed of veteran actors.

They envied Zhou Ye for having such a great opportunity to play the role of Qiao Yingzi.

I don't know when my day will come.

At the same time, Li Binbin, a partner at Hesong Media, took notice of the newly premiered TV series "A Little Reunion".

She was just thinking about signing a new artist anyway.

I happened to spot Zhou Ye playing Qiao Yingzi, the daughter of the Qiao family, in this TV series.

"Oh?"

Li Binbin sat up from the sofa after seeing Zhou Ye.

This girl's appearance was truly eye-catching.

"Zhou Ye?"

Li Binbin developed an immense interest in the name.

"The young lady is pretty and a good actress. But how did she manage to get the lead role in this project?"

Li Binbin felt that things were not simple, so she immediately asked the people around her to investigate the casting process of the drama.

It would be impossible for a simple young girl from Beijing Film Academy to get a role in a production team like this.

Moreover, Qiao Yingzi is a very important female character in the story.

Li Binbin's people are very efficient. They found out that Zhou Ye was able to get the role of Qiao Yingzi in this TV series mainly because of Lin Shaobai's relationship.

The director of the TV series "A Little Reunion" intended for Lin Shaobai to play Fang Yifan from the very beginning, because they valued Lin Shaobai's acting skills and his popularity.

Lin Shaobai took this opportunity to recommend his good senior sister Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye had the favor of Lin Shaobai, and he also successfully won the role of Qiao Yingzi after going through three rounds of interviews.

"With so many senior female students at Beijing Film Academy, why did Lin Shaobai recommend Zhou Ye?"

Li Binbin found it interesting just thinking about it.

"It seems their relationship is quite special. Lin Shaobai is a top-tier celebrity right now. If Zhou Ye is related to him..."

"good."

Li Binbin already had a clear plan in mind.

The next day
Zhang Jingyi got up.

She had a headache after drinking alcohol, so she quickly took care of herself to avoid affecting the entire crew.

If it weren't for this incident, she would never have chosen to drink so much alcohol during working hours.

I just hope the filming can be completed smoothly today.

Zhang Jingyi picked up her phone and opened Weibo.

"Ok?"

She was stunned when she saw the trending topics list, and quickly rubbed her eyes.

Was that just my imagination?

Why did I see Zhou Ye's senior sister's name on the trending topics list?!
It must be my imagination, how could she possibly be trending on social media?

She's not a famous person.

Could it be that her relationship with Shao Bai has been made public?

That's even more impossible.

Zhang Jingyi patted her chest and looked at the trending topics list again, only to find that Zhou Ye's name was followed by the three characters "Qiao Yingzi".

She then suddenly realized that June 1st was the premiere date of the TV series "A Little Reunion".

Lin Shaobai plays the lead role of Fang Yifan, and Zhou Ye plays Qiao Yingzi.

Zhang Jingyi clicked on the trending topic and found that netizens were praising Qiao Yingzi's acting.

Zhou Ye's Weibo followers also skyrocketed.

Previously, they only had some alumni of the Beijing Film Academy, but now they have gained a lot of casual fans.

Zhang Jingyi felt even more choked up.

The two of them were on the same starting line before, but now that her drama has aired, things are completely different.

Then I saw that "A Little Reunion" was doing well.

This is only the first two episodes.

Once this big-budget TV series finishes airing, Zhou Ye is really going to become famous, right?
Zhang Jingyi secretly clenched the bed sheet next to her.

Sure enough, acting with Lin Shaobai makes you famous.

The actresses who act alongside him have more opportunities to be seen by the public and are more likely to become famous.

However, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" hasn't even finished filming yet, so how could it be broadcast immediately to compete with Zhou Ye?

Zhang Jingyi had to admit that after the show aired, there was a clear gap between her and Zhou Ye.

TV dramas broadcast on satellite channels tend to have a higher national audience reach.

Middle-aged uncles, aunts, and elderly people don't watch TV shows on their phones.

They mostly choose to watch it on television.

Once you gain widespread national recognition, is there still a chance of winning?

Zhang Jingyi was secretly competing with herself; even so, she couldn't admit defeat.

For now, let's focus on finishing the role of Lin Beixing properly.

……

At the Beijing Film Academy, Zhou Ye would be asked for autographs and photos with people whenever she walked around the academy.

"Senior Sister Zhou Ye, can I take a photo with you?"

"Senior sister, I really love your portrayal of Qiao Yingzi."

"It really is Senior Sister Zhou Ye. How lucky I am to have met her on the road."

"So the actress who plays Qiao Yingzi is from our school."

"She is so beautiful."

Zhou Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Is this what it feels like to be recognized?
Cool!
This is only what people know about; what will happen when they become wildly famous?
Oh dear, I'm so charming.

Zhou Ye's roommates all felt that they were being watched by many people when they walked with him.

Socially awkward people are a little better off, but those with social anxiety really wish they could dig a hole and escape from the world immediately.

Now, even when Zhou Ye buys a grilled sausage, a crowd gathers around to watch, and phrases like "Qiao Yingzi" and "So beautiful" appear frequently.

Li Tongtong, who was also at the Beijing Film Academy, didn't become obsessed with Zhou Ye like the others when he appeared.

She was Zhang Jingyi's good friend. How could she possibly still have feelings for her after her best friend was harmed so badly by this guy named Zhou Ye!

Li Tongtong stood in the crowd, looking at Zhou Ye with only resentment in her eyes.

She was already angry, and seeing so many people like her made her even angrier.

Zhou Ye stole someone else's man.

Why do you all still like her so much?

Everyone was captivated by her pure and innocent face!
She stole someone else's boyfriend.

Li Tongtong became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

She followed the crowd to queue for grilled sausages, and when she got to Zhou Ye's side, she couldn't help but whisper "mistress" in his ear.

"Ok?"

Those two words drifted gently on the wind to Zhou Ye's ears.

She turned around abruptly and immediately locked her gaze onto Li Tongtong.

Did she say that?

Zhou Ye's face turned cold.

Why are you scolding me?
"Yezi, what's wrong?" Zhou Ye's roommate asked from the side. "Are you leaving after buying the sausages? What, do you want to buy something else to eat? Do you want to buy some? I'll go with you."

"No need. I have something to do now. You guys go back first."

Zhou Ye's eyes were fixed on Li Tongtong, who was walking further and further away.

"Why? Where are you going? Hey! You ran away!"

Zhou Ye ran off into the distance halfway through his roommate's sentence.

My confused roommate seems to be watching Shinichi with Ran now.

He ran away without saying a word.

Zhou Ye chased after Li Tongtong until they reached a pavilion.

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing through Zhou Ye's long hair.

Li Tongtong seemed to have already discovered that Zhou Ye was with her, and deliberately led her to this small place.

Zhou Ye took a deep breath and looked at Li Tongtong, saying, "Hey, what's your name? Why are you cursing at me? If you've got the guts, say it to my face."

Li Tongtong turned around, wishing she could tear Zhou Ye's heart apart.

From her current perspective, she is unaware of Zhou Ye's situation.

She thought Zhou Ye was a liar, which was why he was so rude.

"My name is Li Tongtong, a student from the class of 2017. Did you hear what I just said?"

"You did this on purpose so I could hear you, didn't you? Do I know you? Miss, isn't this our first time meeting?"

Zhou Ye's eyes were icy, and his words were like an ice spike piercing Li Tongtong.

You know perfectly well what you've done.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhou Ye simply couldn't stand this kind of idiot who couldn't speak clearly.

If you're going to say something, just say it clearly. What's the point of leaving things unsaid?

Li Tongtong quickly walked down the steps to face Zhou Ye, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Do you know you stole someone else's boyfriend?"

"Huh?" Zhou Yeren was dumbfounded.

One second they're angry, the next they're completely bewildered.

"Oh no, you should know that."

"Explain yourself clearly." Zhou Ye grabbed Li Tongtong's arm. "This is ridiculous. Whose boyfriend did I steal?"

"Zhang Jingyi".

"Huh? It's her again?"

Zhou Ye wondered why her relationship with Zhang Jingyi was becoming increasingly complicated.

It's like an unsolvable thread.

It's distressing.

"Again? Okay, okay, Senior Sister Zhou Ye, you really did know she was dating Lin Shaobai and deliberately stole her away, didn't you!"

Zhou Ye's mind went blank upon hearing this; she could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"You said... Zhang Jingyi... and Lin Shaobai... are dating?"

Zhou Ye asked, enunciating each word clearly.

Li Tongtong could only nod when she saw someone approaching from not far away.

Since the TV series aired, Zhou Ye has gained some fans at the Beijing Film Academy, and he attracts attention wherever he goes. He can no longer hide in small places like before.

One must be careful in one's speech and actions.

"Isn't she Lin Shaobai's dream girl? When did she become someone who's actually dating Lin Shaobai? How could Lin Shaobai possibly date her?"

Lin Shaobai is clearly with me; he's clearly my boyfriend!

Zhou Ye thought to himself.

“Zhang Jingyi is my good friend. How could I not know whether she is dating Lin Shaobai or not? Because of your involvement, she cries every day, which has created a crack in their relationship.”

As the people in the distance drew closer, Li Tongtong took the initiative to end the conversation.

She left the pavilion with the bag she had brought with her.

Zhou Ye stood there, feeling a buzzing in his ears, and his vision gradually blurred.

Even as people continued to arrive around her, she felt like she was the only person in the world.

Li Tongtong's words echoed in her ears.

Zhou Ye found it hard to believe.

Zhang Jingyi is actually dating Lin Shaobai?

That's what Li Tongtong said just now, right?

That's what she meant, right?

As Zhou Ye walked forward, his legs felt weak, as if he were stepping on cotton.

"Senior sister, you're Zhou Ye, the senior sister who played Qiao Yingzi, right?"

"Senior sister, I've finally found you! Could you please give me your autograph?"

"Senior sister, I really like you. Your portrayal of Qiao Yingzi is exceptionally good."

This time, Zhou Ye had no interest in finding the classmates who had come specifically to see her, and she automatically filtered out what they were saying.

Before he knew it, he was back in his dorm. After closing the door, Zhou Ye recalled what Li Tongtong had said and connected those words with Zhang Jingyi.

"So that's why Zhang Jingyi told me to be careful? That's why her friends called me a mistress."

"That's why she specifically sought me out."

"So that's why she cried when she found out my chest hurt so much after I got together with Lin Shaobai..."

"so……"

Zhou Ye's thoughts gradually opened up, forming a clear clue in his chaotic mind.

"So Lin Shaobai, are you secretly dating Zhang Jingyi behind my and Zhang Jingyi's backs? Are you dating both of us at the same time?"

Zhou Ye found it unbelievable after he said it.

His tone shifted from disbelief to a cold laugh.

I don't know how, but by connecting all the clues, I was able to deduce this result.

No matter how unbelievable it may seem, there is only this one outcome.

It seems that Sherlock Holmes once said something similar.

Zhou Ye's heart started racing; he was extremely flustered.

If that's the truth, doesn't that mean I was the other woman?

How could something so humiliating happen to me?!

This also implies that Lin Shaobai is two-timing.

how can that be possible?
How is this possible? !

"This can't be true, it can't be."

Zhou Ye said, his voice trembling with tears.

But it happened again and again.

again and again.

First it was Zhang Jingyi herself, and then it was her friends.

One after another, they come knocking on the door. Who will it be next?
Will it be her parents next time?
"I really can't take it anymore."

"I can not stand it any more!"

Zhou Ye opened her phone and scrolled through it, asking her friend to get Zhang Jingyi's contact information.

She didn't want to delay any longer; she wanted to explain this matter to Zhang Jingyi as soon as possible.

After sending the friend request, Zhou Ye leaned weakly against the door.

No, we can't judge based solely on what these two people say.

The two of them have been together for so long.

You must first choose to believe in Shao Bai.

Zhou Ye forced himself to calm down.

We shouldn't doubt Lin Shaobai's feelings for us because of these two things.

Stay calm, stay calm, calm down first.

"Zhou Ye!"

"what?!"

His roommate suddenly pushed the door open and was stunned to see Zhou Ye with red eyes.

"What's wrong? You look like you've been crying. Are you crying because you're happy that Qiao Yingzi did a good job broadcasting?"

"Yes. That's right. That's it."

Zhou Ye forced a cheerful smile onto his face.

"Oh, never mind, I have something to tell you. Do you know who came looking for you?"

"Who?"

"Li Binbin!"

My roommate was so surprised he almost shouted it out.

"Li Binbin? Which Li Binbin?"

"My God, who else could it be?! There's only one in the entire entertainment industry! Zhou Ye, you're really going to be famous. Li Binbin has taken a liking to you, and she's planning to sign you to her company."

"..."

Zhou Ye wasn't as excited as his roommate.

She originally planned to sign with Lin Shaobai's company...

"Alright, alright, why are you still looking so downcast? Li Binbin is waiting for you in Dean Han's office right now. Come on, come on, I'll take you there."

"Ah."

Zhou Ye was led by his roommate and jogged all the way to the door of Dean Han's office.

Her roommate gave her a hand gesture and then quietly left.

After pushing open the door, Zhou Ye saw Li Binbin, who had her hair in a bun and was wearing a white suit.

Li Binbin is a very famous actress in the entertainment industry, and she has won countless Best Actress awards.

Zhou Ye knew her reputation and understood that it was no easy feat to be noticed and signed by her.

But it would definitely be better to follow Lin Shaobai.

"Oh? Zhou Ye."

Li Binbin smiled at Zhou Ye and extended his hand: "Hello, my name is Li Binbin. I'm here to see you on behalf of Hesong Company."

"Hello." Zhou Ye was extremely nervous, looking like a college student.

Dean Han stood by the side the whole time, without intending to say anything.

"I saw 'A Little Reunion' on TV. You played Qiao Yingzi in it, right?"

"Mm." Zhou Ye nodded.

"You acted very well, and you are very beautiful. Your face is very pretty."

Li Binbin repeated it twice.

She was attracted to Zhou Ye's pretty and delicate face, as well as his bright and intelligent eyes.

As an actor, you can't do without expressive eyes.

Zhou Ye is different from others; she has a face that blushes easily.

Li Binbin liked her very much.

"Wasong is planning to sign a new actress, and you'd be a perfect fit. Have you considered coming to our company?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Ye raised his head.

Li Binbin was curious because she didn't seem very interested.

Who wouldn't want to sign with such a big company?

Such a bland performance from a minor actor?
As expected, it's still related to Lin Shaobai; he wouldn't even bother signing with his own company.

"We have high hopes for you, especially for me. That's why we wanted to come and discuss this with you."

"Yes, I know, thank you. But signing with a company is a big deal, can I think about it some more?"

Zhou Ye smiled slightly.

Li Binbin could tell that Zhou Ye was preoccupied and probably not in the mood to discuss the company contract.

"Okay. Sure, I'll wait for your reply."

"Well, Teacher Li, Dean Han, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, he left Dean Han's office.

It ended even faster than she had imagined.

Li Binbin never expected that he would be rejected like this after coming all the way here specifically to sign a contract.

Although there was no explicit rejection...

As expected, she still wanted to go to Lin Shaobai's company.

Lin Shaobai and Zhou Ye have a special relationship; he even specifically recommended her for such an important role as Qiao Yingzi, which is highly regarded by the production team...

Li Binbin began to think to himself.

After a long silence, Dean Han looked at Li Binbin and smiled helplessly.

She and Li Binbin are old acquaintances.

Or to put it another way, most of the people she associates with in the circle are old acquaintances.

Dean Han is the vice dean of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, and his network of connections spans the entire industry.

"I never expected you to come over on your own initiative."

Dean Han said.

Li Binbin: "Isn't this a great newcomer? That's why I want to sign him. In my opinion, this face is bound to turn red."

"But the entertainment industry is never short of beautiful women." Dean Han leisurely made himself a cup of tea.

"But there are very few like her. Anyway, I have high hopes for her; she played Qiao Yingzi quite well."

Whether or not a contract is signed depends on her opinion.

"Too."

at the same time
Zhou Ye returned to his dormitory with his phone.

Her other three roommates have all made plans to go out, so she's the only one left.

I happened to see that Zhang Jingyi had accepted my friend request.

As soon as he agreed, Zhou Ye made a voice call.

"Hey?"

A moment later, Zhang Jingyi answered the phone.

Coincidentally, she was resting on the sidelines right now, as she wasn't filming.

"Zhang Jingyi, do you have time? I need to talk to you."

Zhou Ye couldn't wait to talk to Zhang Jingyi about this.

She wanted to find out who the mistress was.

Could it be that both of them were kept in the dark by Lin Shaobai?
If Lin Shaobai really is two-timing, if he really is that kind of person...

If it really comes to that, there will be no compromise.

Zhang Jingyi hesitated noticeably on the other end of the phone. After a long pause, she said slowly, "Wait until I get back to my room tonight. I think you want to talk about what I told you before?"

“That’s right. Today, a woman named Li Tongtong came to me and said that I stole your boyfriend… To be honest, I only just found out that you and Lin Shaobai are dating.”

"Yes, I wanted to tell you before, but my chest hurt so much that I couldn't speak. Senior Sister Zhou Ye, now I just want to tell you that I will not back down, and I will not give up Lin Shaobai."

"..."
