Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 192, Section 191: Zhou Ye's First Mood Softens After the Breakup (4K)

A few days later, the movie "Better Days" officially announced its release date.

The trailer immediately topped the Weibo hot search list upon its release.

The official website also released a special featurette showcasing Lin Shaobai's portrayal of Xiao Bei.

[The most beautiful young man, the most sincere performance. Thank you @林少白, Xiao Bei for your hard work and for bringing us surprises and emotions. We grow together with Xiao Bei. See you at the cinema on August 3rd!]

Any related Weibo post featuring Lin Shaobai always receives over a million likes.

The comments below were all from fans.

See you at the cinema on August 3rd!

Come see Xiao Bei at the cinema on August 3rd!

Support Lin Shaobai's movie, support Lin Shaobai's Xiao Bei!

[Young man, forge ahead fearlessly! Support Lin Shaobai!]

The movie hasn't been released yet, but fans are already showing great enthusiasm.

Even casual netizens are interested in this kind of topic.

Even the most popular celebrities have limited ability to carry a movie; ultimately, a movie's box office success depends on the quality of the film itself.

Ideally, the subject matter should be suitable for all ages; if the director is good and the production is excellent, the box office will naturally be high.

Audiences aren't stupid; they won't give their money to bad movies.

Zhou Ye, Lin Shaobai, and Zhou Dongyu were invited to appear on Happy Camp to promote their movie.

Even though they had separated, Zhou and Lin would always get together again for various reasons.

It started as a promotion for the TV series "A Little Reunion", and now it's also to promote the movie "Better Days".

After joining Hunan TV, Zhou Ye thought about it carefully and realized that Lin Shaobai had appeared in all the movies and TV series he had acted in since his debut.

"Hey, every time I come to Happy Camp, I have to play games, but I'm not good at playing games."

After testing the game with the production team, Zhou Dongyu ran to Zhou Ye and complained in anguish.

As we all know, Happy Camp is simply a show where celebrities are invited to promote products and then everyone plays games together.

Some games are very difficult to play, and can be a nightmare for people with poor coordination.

Zhou Ye is alright, but she doesn't have time to worry about the difficulty of these games right now.

"Zhou Ye, I'm talking to you, why do you seem to be out of your body?" Zhou Dongyu said with a smile.

Zhou Ye then came to his senses: "No, no, I was just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in something. Oh, I know, you must be nervous about recording Happy Camp. Is this your first time recording Happy Camp?"

Zhou Ye shook his head: "No, it's something else."

She couldn't understand the producer's sudden apology and compensation that day.

She knew that someone else must have been involved in this matter to have led to this outcome.

But she still couldn't figure out who was involved.
"Oh, by the way, did you say hello to Lin Shaobai?"

Zhou Dongyu suddenly said.

"We just bumped into each other, but he went to talk to Teacher He." Zhou Ye gripped his phone tightly.

She was visibly nervous when Lin Shaobai was mentioned.

Zhou Dongyu: "I just heard that he seems to have something to say to you."

Zhou Ye trembled upon hearing this.

"Wow, do you have to react so strongly? Do you know your body even trembled just now?"

Zhou Dongyu had no idea what was going on between the two of them.

In her eyes, Zhou Ye just now seemed to have simply stepped on an electric wire while walking on the road.

Anyway, from what I heard, he seemed to be looking for you at that time.

What could he possibly say to me?

Zhou Ye muttered to himself.

The two have already broken up. Does that mean she dumped Zhang Jingyi?
Are you ready to get back together?
Zhou Ye shook his head at this thought.

Hmm, that's probably not very realistic.

Zhang Jingyi relentlessly clung to Lin Shaobai.

Even if Lin Shaobai wanted to break up, she definitely wouldn't agree.

It's really hard to believe, considering that Junior Sister Zhang is usually quite clear-headed.

He was obsessed with studying, spending all his time in the library honing his acting skills, and he was also dull, mild-mannered, and honest.

He's a hopeless romantic?!

Even after all this, she still insists on clinging to Lin Shaobai?

Even if you're reluctant, you have to let go. What Lin Shaobai did was wrong!
Zhou Ye's thinking hadn't changed, and she still couldn't accept it.

About 20 minutes later, the first rehearsal of Happy Camp began.

After the rehearsal, the recording officially started in the afternoon, and it was already evening when everything was finished.

Zhou Dongyu suggested that the three of them go out for a meal together.

It's been a long time since we last met, and she happens to have some free time tonight.

"I'm not going, I need to go back to the company."

Lin Shaobai said.

When Zhou Ye saw that Lin Shaobai refused, she realized there was no need for her to have dinner alone with Zhou Dongyu.

I'm just a colleague of Zhou Dongyu, and it's really awkward to eat together.

"Alright, alright, I was just saying I'd treat you two to dinner, but you're both so busy, so I won't bother you anymore."

Zhou Dongyu turned and left with the staff, leaving only Zhou Ye and Lin Shaobai in the room.

The two packed up and prepared to return home.

"Lin Shaobai." Before leaving, Zhou Ye suddenly turned to Lin Shaobai and said, "I heard from Zhou Dongyu that you wanted to talk to me, is that right?"

Lin Shaobai stopped what he was doing and just looked at Zhou Ye without saying a word.

Zhou Ye turned his head to one side: "If you have something to say, just say it quickly."

"I heard you auditioned for the second female lead role in a youth campus drama, and the production team had already decided on you, but then suddenly changed their minds when it came time to sign the contract, is that right?"

"What?"

Zhou Ye stared at Lin Shaobai in disbelief, his eyes wide open.

She never expected that this matter would reach Lin Shaobai's ears!

This news spread way too fast! Do they have super hearing?

"You know this as well?"

"Ah."

"That's too exaggerated. Your connections are all over the entertainment industry. This is just a small interview for me."

Even Zhou Ye himself was joking about it.

"Then you..." Lin Shaobai looked at her seriously and took a step forward, his tone gentler than before: "Are you alright?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Ye was surprised that Lin Shaobai's voice suddenly became so gentle.

It's as if this second is a completely different person from the last.

Zhou Ye saw the worry in Lin Shaobai's eyes and understood that he was being sincere at this moment.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Zhou Ye felt embarrassed to continue his playful demeanor.

She put her hands behind her back, a little embarrassed, and said, "It's alright, I wouldn't say I completely collapsed, but it's impossible for me to have no reaction at all. After all, I'm just a newbie, and maybe I'm not used to it since it's my first time experiencing something like this. I'll be fine after that! Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities like this! I'll get used to it, haha."

She used jokes to ease the awkwardness and tension.

"By the way, why are you suddenly asking this? You're not trying to make a fool of me, are you? You're not leaving after the show, but waiting here just to say something?"

Zhou Ye immediately became alert.

"Of course not. Your imagination is still so vivid, senior sister?"

Looking at the other person's doting smile, Zhou Ye subconsciously recalled the sweetness of their previous dating days.

"Then why did you suddenly bring this up?"

Zhou Ye quickly snapped out of his daze.

"Senior sister, because Producer Li originally said he wanted me to be the male lead in this youth campus drama." "Are we both Producer Li? Are we Li Anyao?" Zhou Ye tried to calm himself down.

Lin Shaobai nodded and tidied up his bag.

His assistant, Xiao Zhao, will buy him something; judging by the time, he should be back soon.

"So what was your reaction?"

"Of course I didn't agree to her request. First of all, I had just finished filming a youth campus drama and wasn't in the mood to film a second one. Secondly, I naturally had some objections when I learned from my agent that she had acted this way."

"So, is your opinion based on me, or on the matter itself?"

Zhou Ye asked this question as if possessed.

As soon as Lin Shaobai stood up and turned around, Zhou Ye took a step back, waving his hands hastily, "Don't overthink it, I...I was just asking casually. You were the one who brought it up, I...I just..."

He stammered and couldn't even explain things clearly.

In the end, Zhou Ye gave up.

No matter how much she explained, it was only to conceal the surprise in her heart.

"Senior sister, I think I've made myself clear. I didn't want to act in the first place, but I deliberately made things difficult for her when I refused."

"toss?!"

Zhou Ye misunderstood.

"What I mean is, deliberately make her experience how you felt back then."

"Mr. Lin, the goods have been purchased. Let's go."

Assistant Xiao Zhao pushed open the door and entered, but unexpectedly, Zhou Ye was already in the room.

For a moment, the three of them stood there awkwardly, and no one said a word.

Xiao Zhao felt that he lacked emotional intelligence.

Wouldn't barging in at this moment spoil Mr. Lin's mood?!

"Mr. Lin, um, we're in a hurry..."

Assistant Xiao Zhao huddled awkwardly in a corner by the door.

"Then let's go."

As Lin Shaobai passed by Zhou Ye, she suddenly grabbed him.

"Wait a minute! Just two minutes, can you tell me if you made that producer apologize to me?"

Lin Shaobai subconsciously glanced down at Zhou Ye's hand, and Zhou Ye immediately withdrew his hand.

I still can't break the habits I used to have.

"I didn't make him apologize to you."

Lin Shaobai said honestly.

He didn't explicitly ask Producer Li to apologize to Zhou Ye at the time.

That's definitely the meaning behind it, but it's up to the producer to figure it out for themselves.

Zhou Ye frowned in confusion: "No, you definitely meant that. I was just saying that this matter was clearly over, but that producer sent me a private message to explain what happened back then. He apologized to me and even reimbursed me for my round-trip airfare."

Lin Shaobai was very satisfied with the result.

The harsh words at the time did have some effect.

He smiled slightly and said, "But I did say some things to her, criticizing the crew for doing the wrong thing. Even if they had to replace someone at the last minute, they should at least have told you in advance, so you wouldn't have made a wasted trip. It's really unfair that everyone kept you in the dark the whole time."

Heaven knows how moved Zhou Ye was when he heard Lin Shaobai say those words.

She told her mother about this, but no one else.

She felt that people probably wouldn't empathize with this kind of thing.

Perhaps all I'll say to her is, "This is normal. You'll get used to it. There's no need to overthink it."

Rather than getting such an answer, it's better to keep it to yourself.

Who would have thought that her ex-boyfriend would comfort her so gently?

And without her knowledge, he avenged her.

Zhou Ye looked somewhat at a loss, his eyes filled with tenderness.

The once extinguished, surging love seemed to reignite with a spark at this moment.

She didn't know how to face Lin Shaobai in the present moment.

He was the "womanizer" who caused her a dull ache in her heart, but he was also the one who would secretly help her after the breakup...

Lin Shaobai looked at Zhou Ye for a long time without saying a word, then snapped his fingers in front of her.

Seeing her look up, he chuckled and said, "Why have you been silent for so long? Could it be that you were moved by my actions? My earth-shattering and awe-inspiring act has moved our senior sister to tears?"

"..."

Zhou Ye didn't say anything, he just rubbed his eyes.

Even without being there in person, Lin Shaobai could almost see the pained expression on Zhou Ye's face when she learned that the role she had worked so hard to get had been replaced.

“I know this kind of thing is common in this industry, and I’m not a savior, so I can’t possibly manage everyone. But I think I can still help you with your grievances.”

After Lin Shaobai finished speaking, his gaze towards Zhou Ye was even more tender and gentle than before.

"Lin Shaobai..."

When Zhou Ye called Lin Shaobai's name again, his voice was incredibly soft.

She relented.

For a few seconds after hearing this, she forgot everything Lin Shaobai had done before.

I even want to start over!
"Thank you."

"You're welcome. In fact, I was in the wrong back then."

"..."

Zhou Ye stopped speaking.

She remained silent, focusing on feeling the warmth flowing through her body.

What a heartwarming and comforting thing!

We should listen to these kinds of things more often in life!

Zhou Ye then realized that her previous guesses were correct; there really was a mysterious person helping her.

Mystery man?
It's not mysterious anymore now.

From beginning to end, whether it was openly helping or secretly helping, it seemed that only this junior brother was helping in this circle.

"You don't need to offer yourself in return for such a small thing. I'll just give you a brief explanation."

Lin Shaobai suddenly puffed out his chest and made a joke.

Zhou Ye sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, Lin Shaobai is still the same Lin Shaobai.

"I have to go now. Senior, you... seriously, aren't you going to consider coming to my company?"

You won't encounter this kind of thing at Baichen Entertainment Company.

This time, Zhou Ye didn't refuse at the first second.

She thought about it seriously for a while, then shook her head.

Seeing this, Lin Shaobai didn't say anything more and left the TV station with his assistant.

Zhou Ye also went out and walked alone on the sidewalk.

"So it was you who was helping me."

"I thought I would forget about such a small thing with time, but I didn't expect you to care about it. You're the one who stood up for me."

“We’ve already broken up, and you didn’t need to go this far at all.”

"Shaobai..."

Zhou Ye stopped slowly and looked into the distance, the night breeze gently blowing her clothes.

"Actually, I really like you, and I can feel that you like me too. But can't you just give up on Zhang Jingyi?"

"How can you expect me to accept this..."

"But now you're being so good to me, what am I supposed to do?"

"What should I do...?"

Zhou Ye closed his eyes, frowned, sighed softly, and continued walking forward.
