Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 193, Section 192: The Vanished Her - Filming Starts, Du Ling Only Has Two Fans (4K)

"So this is how it turned out, the thing I couldn't understand at all."

Zhou Ye returned home late at night, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

Every word Lin Shaobai said back then seemed to be etched into her mind.

The room was pitch black, with only the light from the neon lights outside filtering through the sheer curtains.

Zhou Ye turned to look out the window, still not feeling sleepy at all.

If this were when they were dating, it would be perfectly normal for Lin Shaobai to help her.

After all, it was his girlfriend who was bullied; how could he tolerate that?!
But now they've broken up.

The breakup was quite decisive at the time, and logically, the two of them shouldn't have had any further contact.

Zhou Ye thought it was already outrageous that Lin Shaobai knew about her being replaced, let alone help her get revenge in private.

"Could this be Kobayashi's way of apologizing?"

Zhou Ye felt heartbroken whenever he thought about what happened back then.

It's really a dilemma.

"thank you for helping me."

Thinking of this, Zhou Ye opened his phone, preparing to send a few words to Lin Shaobai.

She blocked Lin Shaobai after that incident.

Later, because the two of them needed to promote the TV series "A Little Reunion", they were added back.

It feels like everything I did before was in vain.

Blocking and then adding back is like kindergarten kids playing the game of breaking up.

Thank you for your help.

Zhou Ye typed five words in the chat box and then quickly deleted them.

Is it really appropriate to message Lin Shaobai so late?

It gives the impression that they are deliberately trying to please others?

Zhou Ye understood that it was true that she was moved by this matter, but it was also true that what happened with Zhang Jingyi had caused her great pain.

After hesitating for two minutes, Zhou Ye decided to send the message.

Even if it gives people the impression of being ingratiating, you still have to post it!

We should express our gratitude!
You can't be coy at a time like this!

After sending the message, Zhou Ye lay in bed and forced himself to sleep, only willing to look at the message the next day.

The next day
Lin Shaobai arrived at his Baichen Entertainment Company early in the morning to check on the singing and dancing performances of his three trainees.

He arrived very early, but unexpectedly, Kong Xueer and Liu Yuxin arrived even earlier than him.

Liu Yuxin had been getting up early to exercise and improve her physical fitness for a long time, and later she also forced Kong Xueer to go running with her.

Kong Xueer is someone who likes to sleep in late, but what can she do when her best friend is so self-disciplined?

The training results of these two people during this period have been very significant.

Kong Xueer's problem from the beginning has been her breath control when singing.

My voice used to shake terribly when I sang, but it's much better now.

It's clear that they put in a lot of hard work.

A short while later, Jin Zihan also ran over.

The three of them danced "The Great Artist" together once in a row.

After the music ended, Lin Shaobai stood up and gave them three rounds of applause.

"That's pretty good. I haven't been to the company for a while, and you've been practicing diligently with the teacher. I can see that you've put in a lot of hard work."

"I'll say it again: there aren't many stages left for you, so you must cherish the few opportunities you get. I believe you all came here with the idea of ​​becoming singing and dancing idols."

"Sher." He stopped mid-sentence and suddenly turned to look at Kong Sher, who was standing on the far right.

"Mr. Lin!"

Kong Xueer immediately stepped forward and bowed to Lin Shaobai.

Her pupils flickered, afraid that Lin Shaobai would criticize her.

"You sing well! You've improved a lot."

Who would have thought that what they received was Lin Shaobai's gentle praise?

"Ah?" Kong Xueer's face showed visible joy.

“I said, you sang very well, much better than before.”

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

"Jin Zihan".

"Mr. Lin, I'm here."

This time it's Xiao Jin's turn to step forward and wait for evaluation.

Lin Shaobai paused deliberately for a moment, making the whole practice room tense, before saying, "You've improved too."

Jin Zihan, who had been keeping his head down, bowed deeply upon hearing this: "Thank you, President Lin. I will continue to work hard!"

Having been criticized in previous performances, how could Jin Zihan not be happy to receive encouragement this time?

"Liu Yuxin, you have always been excellent. I hope you continue to maintain this and don't become arrogant. When the teachers and I are not around, your two teammates will need your supervision."

Liu Yuxin nodded: "Don't worry, President Lin. Xue'er, Zihan, and I work together very well, and we've almost finished practicing the dance."

"Okay, then you can continue."

Lin Shaobai watched it several more times before leaving the practice room.

Assistant Xiao Zhao, who had been following behind Lin Shaobai, couldn't help but say, "President Lin."

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, I think the three trainees are already very impressive. I've watched girl group auditions before, and I personally think their current abilities are already among the top."

"That doesn't mean we can slack off on practice. And my expectations for them aren't limited to domestic talent shows. Have you ever thought about what they'll do after they stop being idols?"

"Um...no."

As the boss of this entertainment company, Lin Shaobai definitely needs to plan out the future of his artists.

Perhaps in China, idols' careers will last a little longer.

However, in the Chinese entertainment industry, an idol's career may only last a few years.

Most groups formed through talent shows are limited-time groups, typically lasting between one and two years.

During this period, members can participate in various variety shows and galas with the group. When the contract period ends, most of them will stay at home doing nothing, while those who are good-looking may get a small role in a film or television drama.

Only those who sing exceptionally well become singers and appear on music programs.

Lin Shaobai was also making plans for his three artists.

Hopefully, they can participate in music variety shows as singers in the future.

Don't end up as a useless person who's bad at acting, dancing, and singing—something you can't do well at and everyone criticizes you for.

Back in his office, Lin Shaobai opened his chat with Zhou Ye.

Since they parted ways last time, the two of them haven't talked much about anything other than work.

Lin Shaobai looked at the message his senior sister had sent, and then typed "It's okay" in the chat box.

Yeah, it's a little awkward.

Lin Shaobai scratched his temple.

It's true that talking about these issues after parting ways always feels a bit awkward.

……

……

In mid-to-late July, filming began for the movie "The Vanished She".

Dudu doesn't have many fans right now.

Although he rose to prominence in his early years with "The Left Ear," he stopped acting after filming the movie and went back to school.

It took him several years to come out again.

During those years of silence, her popularity plummeted.

The dramas he filmed afterward weren't very good either, so naturally, his fans couldn't keep up.

Only two loyal fans came to visit her today. Even with just two fans, Chen Duling was overjoyed!
A little bit of happiness is enough to make her happy all day.

After finishing her work on set, Chen Duling made a special trip to meet these two fans.

The approachable feeling she gives off is nothing like that of a celebrity.

"Ah! Beep beep!"

"Dudu, we've come to see you!"

These two fans are longtime fans of Chen Duling.

I've been supporting her ever since the movie "The Left Ear".

Even if the dramas Du Ling has filmed over the years are terrible, they still insist on watching them.

"Thank you for making the trip."

Chen Duling smiled gently, her cool yet gentle temperament unchanged.

From childhood to adulthood, she can be summed up in two words: goddess.

Whether it's her appearance, temperament, or speech, she embodies the traditional, popular image of a goddess.

When she was in college, a lot of people would secretly watch her, and many people were fascinated by her.

What's even funnier is that once her alma mater, China Southern Airlines, held an event.

The host announced loudly, "We have a mystery guest arriving tonight."

The students present were all calling out Chen Duling's name, but in the end, it was the president of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics who came out with a dark face.

"Dudu, you're making another movie! We're all really looking forward to seeing you play the female lead. The script must be pretty good, right?"

The two female fans looked at Chen Duling with stars in their eyes.

"It's great. I really like the script and the character I play. Where are you all from?"

Chen Duling asked.

"I flew here from the capital."

“Then I might be a bit further away, I’m from Harbin.”

Chen Duling felt both heartache and touched when she heard that two fans had flown all the way from so far away to the island.

"Thank you for your support, thank you."

Just then, her assistant brought over two cups of milk tea from a distance, and Chen Duling quickly gave the milk tea to the two little fans.

Wow, milk tea!

"This is just a small token of my appreciation for your continued support."

Chen Duling is incredibly sincere in her dealings with people and things. Knowing that it wasn't easy for her fans to travel from so far away, she quickly bought them milk tea.

"Dudu, we've actually been wanting to tell you this for a while."

One of the fans, after taking a few sips of milk tea, couldn't help but laugh and say, "You will definitely get through this difficult time, we all believe in you. We will always support you, even if you keep acting until you're 80, we will still support you!"

Chen Duling said gently, "It wasn't bitter at all. But I'm still very grateful for what you said. You've always supported me, and I won't let you down."

The three of them were chatting animatedly, while Wang Churan and Lin Shaobai were resting in a small room some distance away.

Lin Shaobai kept his head down looking at his phone, while Wang Churan rested her chin on her hand and quietly looked out the window.

She sighed enviously after seeing Chen Duling's two fans.

"Ugh."

"Sigh, sigh, sigh..."

Seeing that Lin Shaobai didn't move, she sighed even more frequently.

Even after all that sighing, the other party didn't react at all.

It's like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind person!
Wang Churan: "Tsk."

Lin Shaobai then looked up and said in a different accent, "Hey friend, what are you sighing about?"

"Pfft, Lin Shaobai, where did you learn that accent? It's hilarious!"

Wang Churan covered her mouth and chuckled.

She had always thought Lin Shaobai was a very interesting person.

Not only is he funny, but he's also talented, and not only is he talented, he's also handsome.

She possesses numerous talents, and with the resources available to her, she made the choice she has now.

The most, most, most important reason is that she likes Lin Shaobai enough.

I'm hopelessly in love with it!

"I mean, at least Chen Duling has a couple of fans watching her start filming, but I don't have a single fan."

At this point, Wang Churan deliberately buried her face in her arms on the table and pretended to cry: "I don't have a single fan! This is so tragic! Am I some kind of bad person? Why doesn't anyone come to me?!"

"Miss Wang," Lin Shaobai put down his phone and said helplessly, "you're not particularly famous right now, so isn't it normal that you don't have any fans watching?"

"Shao Bai, even if you're handsome, you can't say that about me! Waaah!"

"I hope that I can gain a few die-hard fans in the future, so that they can come to see me and prepare some support when my TV series or movie starts or finishes filming."

Wang Churan slowly got up again, looked out the window, and spoke softly.

Lin Shaobai followed her gaze.

Chen Duling and her two fans were having a great time chatting.

Dudu hasn't had any good works over the years. She finally got a breakout role as a supporting actress, but she was then cyberbullied by the fans of the male and female leads, and her super topic was completely destroyed.

At the time, the male and female leads' fans felt that Chen Duling had stolen the spotlight, so they kept slandering and insulting her.

They kept mocking her for not having the fate of a female lead.

She's only fit to play supporting roles; only supporting roles can make her shine.

This top student, holding his breath, worked hard to improve his acting skills.

Fortunately, God did not let her down, and she received a copy of "When the Wild Geese Return".

In 2025, this female-centric drama garnered over 30,000 views on Tencent Video, successfully entering the ranks of hit dramas.

All these years of hard work have not been in vain.

"You mean you don't have any fans today?"

Lin Shaobai turned his head back and focused his gaze on Miss Wang.

Wang Churan nodded and deliberately pouted pitifully, "Yeah. I don't have a single fan here, but it's okay, I'm sure I'll have lots of fans in the future!"

"I--"

"It's okay, you don't need to comfort me! I can handle this!"

Wang Churan waved her hand, appearing particularly carefree and composed.

Lin Shaobai could sometimes find this woman, whose behavior was somewhat affected, quite endearing.

She clearly has the face of a mature and sophisticated woman, but who would have thought that her personality is so different in private?

"I mean you still have one fan today."

"where?!"

Wang Churan stood up abruptly and looked around.

Ke Yun, who looked as if she had gone mad, was searching for her child.

"I said……"

Lin Shaobai immediately stood up and stood in front of her: "If there are no fans at the wrap party today, I'll be your first fan. I look forward to your filming starting, okay?"

"Ok?"

Wang Churan was taken aback.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Does that mean I can't be your fan? You've always been my fan before, so let me be your fan this time and cheer you on."

Wang Churan was deeply moved by Lin Shaobai's words.

I thought he was about to say something even more touching, but all I got was a curt "dried up."

Wang Churan: "???"

Lin Shaobai joked to lighten the mood: "Miss Dry Butterfly, as your fan, I will support you."

"Wow, I never thought I was so amazing that I could get a big star to support me."

Our Dudu has her own representative works now. Your broadcast was quite good.
