Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 19. Her Highness
The resources in the entertainment industry are generally divided into film crew resources, performance resources, fashion resources, business resources, program resources, platform resources, and artist resources.

Take Lin Shaobai for example. He has a father who is a high-ranking executive at Huace Film & TV, who helped him secure the male lead role in the future blockbuster drama "Ashes of Love". That's what you call resources from the production team.

The resources available on film crews can help you get to know casting directors, producers, etc., mainly for actors.

The brand ambassador position his mother found for him falls under the category of business resources.

Get to know brand PR resources and other resources to help artists find work and earn money.

Brands evaluate you before choosing you as a spokesperson; you need to have data to back you up.

First, you need to have a hit product; second, you need good data.

Fans need to hurry up and work hard on data so that their favorite artists will be more valued.

The requirements for someone like Lin Shaobai, who has a "background," are slightly lower, but even the lowest requirements cannot be for a complete "ordinary person"!
That's why Dean Han asked Lin Shaobai how he performed and whether he could gain popularity after the show aired.

"Really?"

Lin Shaobai's eyes lit up.

Dean Han: "Of course. The prerequisite is that you have to have some achievements."

"I understand. Anyway, Jay Chou said I'll be a star."

"Jay Chou???"

Dean Han was stunned.

She subconsciously felt that the god of the Chinese music scene had just said something polite.

Perhaps they were recording a show, which is why they said something to attract attention.

It's the same principle as street vendors calling a woman a beauty and a man a handsome guy.

"Alright then, Mom is looking forward to it."

However, thinking that he should use encouragement-based education, Dean Han did not say what was on his mind.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door behind him. Lin Shaobai turned around and saw that it was Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi was holding a pile of documents in her arms.

She glanced at Lin Shaobai first, then walked over and placed the documents on Dean Han's desk.

Dean Han: "Jingyi, thank you so much for your help."

Zhang Jingyi chuckled and shook her head.

As she turned to leave, she glanced at Lin Shaobai again.

It seemed the princess wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, she decided to keep it to herself.

After leaving, Dean Han patted Lin Shaobai's arm: "Do you know what the significance of military training is?"

Lin Shaobai was a little confused. How did things suddenly escalate to this level?
"Mom, I think..."

"Besides what everyone knows, do you think there's any other meaning behind it?"

"..."

"Of course, it's to help you get along better with your classmates. You're all in the same class, and people from all over the country will definitely need a period of adjustment. Do you think you can get along well with your classmates if you take so many days off from military training?"

Lin Shaobai sighed and sat down in the chair opposite his elderly mother: "Maintaining good relationships... isn't actually that important to me."

Dean Han: "Hmm?"

"University life doesn't hold much appeal for me. I care more about making good dramas and becoming famous as soon as possible, becoming a household name."

An expression of disbelief crossed Dean Han's face.

It's hard to imagine that these are the words of his son.

"What triggered you? Why are you suddenly thinking about these things? Is it the ideas your father instilled in you?"

"No. Since you've chosen to apply to the Beijing Film Academy, how could you not have some dreams? Who doesn't want to be a big star?"

"..."

“Compared to better resources, what are these things in university?” “That’s true, but,” Dean Han continued, “students will collaborate on a final performance at the end of the semester. You’ll need to find partners.”

"I know, we'll talk about it later. Mom, I have to go now."

After finishing his conversation, Lin Shaobai left the office and arranged to play badminton with Guo Zifan at the school's gymnasium.

He was in court number one, but unexpectedly, court number two next door was occupied by Zhang Jingyi and her friends.
Zhang Jingyi tied her long hair into a ponytail and was quietly watching Lin Shaobai until a badminton shuttlecock hit her right on the forehead!

"oops……"

Zhang Jingyi covered the spot where she had been hit by the badminton shuttlecock with her hand.

Seeing how cute she was, Lin Shaobai couldn't help but tease her: "Zhang Jingyi, is your brain alright? Can it still be used? Now you can completely take advantage of your brain not working properly and do whatever you want."

Zhang Jingyi's forehead veins bulged, and her eyebrows furrowed as Lin Shaobai spoke!
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and after a while, she looked at Lin Shaobai and said, "You're the one who's not thinking straight."

However, it wasn't very damaging, and she wasn't actually very good at swearing.

Actually, Zhang Jingyi has never had any major conflicts with anyone since she was a child.

She has always valued harmony above all else.

Her family has strict upbringing, so the kind of shrewish behavior that would happen to her is simply impossible.

Of course, no one wants to look at that face and start cursing.

Lin Shaobai carefully observed Zhang Jingyi's expression.

He found that the other person didn't seem to dislike him much; they were probably just not used to it.

Guo Zifan was stunned when he saw this!
Old Lin was just playing badminton, how come he's hooking up with a girl again?

"Sorry... I was just joking, don't be angry." Lin Shaobai eased the tension.

Zhang Jingyi closed her eyes and said, "I'm not angry. There's no need to get angry over something like this."

She said this, but it was visibly her breathing rate had become very fast, and her chest was rising and falling very noticeably.

Zhang Jingyi turned her head quickly, as if she were sulking with a little girl, and pointed at her friend opposite her with her badminton racket: "Serve."

My friend looked completely bewildered.

After hesitating for a while, he pointed to the white badminton shuttlecock under Zhang Jingyi's feet and said, "Jingyi, actually, I wanted to say that the badminton shuttlecock is under your feet..."

Zhang Jingyi lowered her head awkwardly.

She's terrible at badminton; she wastes a lot of time just on her serve!
Seeing this, Lin Shaobai couldn't help but laugh again: "Hey, do you want me to teach you how to play badminton?"

"No need, are we that close?"

Zhang Jingyi kept her eyes fixed ahead, seemingly deliberately throwing a tantrum.

“We’re very familiar with each other. Aren’t we familiar with each other?” Lin Shaobai continued.

Zhang Jingyi gripped her blue badminton racket tightly: "Who's familiar with you? How are we familiar?"

“They’re all ripe and red,” Lin Shaobai paused, then said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Isn’t that right, Your Highness?”

Zhang Jingyi also seemed to have no way to deal with him.

Whenever I experience significant emotional fluctuations, I take a deep breath.

While Zhang Jingyi was talking to Lin Shaobai, she was hit on the head by a badminton shuttlecock from her friend.

Thankfully, it wasn't going too fast, or it would have hurt terribly!
She really doesn't know how to fight.

Guo Zifan, who was standing opposite him, noticed that Lao Lin was not focused at all when playing with him, so he took the initiative to suggest switching players.

"Old Lin, why don't you play ball with Zhang Jingyi? I see you talking to her all the time."

"Okay," Lin Shaobai replied casually.

After a while, Zhang Jingyi looked bewildered when she saw Lin Shaobai standing opposite her.

"How can that be okay??? I haven't even agreed yet."
