Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 204, Section 203: Li Yitong and Xiao Tiantian (4K)

Meanwhile, Li Yitong, who was resting at home, happened to see the trending topics.

She had always enjoyed listening to Lin Shaobai's songs.

Unlike Wang Churan, Lin Shaobai's fans are very simple and pure.

I simply appreciate talent, not like Miss Wang who has other desires.

"Are you looking at Lin Shaobai?"

Li Yitong's assistant brought over a glass of lemonade, and upon glancing at his artist's phone screen, couldn't help but speak up.

"Hey." Li Yitong turned off his phone screen a little shyly, looked up, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Just... take a look. He hasn't released a song in a long time. There's been no announcement either, I've been waiting forever."

Li Yitong added all of Lin Shaobai's songs to her favorites, as she really liked his voice and singing style.

Every famous singer has a unique timbre, and Li Yitong was particularly attracted to Xiaolin's timbre.

Love That Never Loses Contact

Young and Promising

Mohe Dance Hall

If the Moon Didn't Come

Quietly

The Nameless

The Story of Minglan

Mojito

Undyed

Late September

Li Yitong played these songs repeatedly, especially "If the Moon Doesn't Come" which became his favorite song.

“I’ve always been a fan of his, but he hasn’t released any new songs in a long time.”

"I heard he's been busy filming a movie on Hainan Island lately."

"Me too. I heard he's filming almost all year round. He only goes back to the company on weekends... Huh?"

Li Yitong seemed to have discovered some blind spot.

"I'd actually like to be friends with him."

"Why don't we hire an agent, get his contact information, and go to his company to take a look?"

"Is this alright?" Li Yitong turned and hugged the pillow to her chest, saying with a slightly shy expression, "Isn't this a bit too reckless?"

"No rush, no problem, I'll take you to meet your idol."

"Ah."

Li Yitong lowered his head and smiled.

……

……

One weekend at the end of August, Lin Shaobai returned to Baichen Entertainment Company to deal with album issues.

He has recently been helping his artist Zhou Ye secure high-end luxury brand endorsements.

A furniture brand, Guanzhu Tiles, proactively approached Zhou Ye to invite him to be their brand ambassador.

So far, Zhou Ye, at such a young age, already has two endorsements.

"Mr. Lin."

A short while later, Assistant Xiao Zhao walked into the office carrying a large stack of documents.

"What?"

"Tian Xiwei is here."

"Xiaotian is here?"

Lin Shaobai immediately stood up from his seat, but after looking around for a long time, he still couldn't spot anyone.

"She went straight to the top floor to find Kong Xueer."

Assistant Xiao Zhao told Lin Shaobai Tian Xiwei's route.

Tian Xiwei and Kong Xueer get along quite well.

Xiao Tian came to Bai Chen Entertainment for two reasons: first, to find Lin Shaobai, and second, to play with Xue Er.

"Oh, I'll go up too, and see how their training is going, and see if they need any help."

Lin Shaobai had nothing to do, so he took the elevator to the top floor practice room.

Just a few steps from the door, I heard the famous dance piece "The Great Artist".

The assistant strode forward, but Lin Shaobai pulled him back in time.

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong, Mr. Lin?"

"I have decided to adopt a homeroom teacher-style inspection method."

Assistant Xiao Zhao instantly recalled the scene from his high school days when he was caught by the patrolling homeroom teacher playing on his phone in the study room.

Lin Shaobai moved forward step by step along the wall, then suddenly popped his head out and looked into the practice room through the window.

Although music was playing in the practice room, only Xiao Jin and Liu Yuxin were practicing.

Kong Xueer and Tian Xiwei were lying on the ground playing with crocodile toys!

It's that game where you stick your hand into the crocodile toy and press the crocodile's teeth to see who's unlucky enough to press the one that triggers a mechanism.

"Sherry, you've played five times and lost all five times. Tsk tsk tsk! You're no good."

"Sigh, this crocodile is my nemesis! The fortune teller said I was born unable to eat fish, and it's true!"

Seeing this, Lin Shaobai raised his right eyebrow in confusion.

"These two people..."

Upon seeing this, assistant Xiao Zhao immediately jotted it down in her notebook: "Kong Xueer isn't practicing seriously. She needs to practice more."

"stop."

Lin Shaobai meant for Xiao Zhao not to remember it today.

"President Lin, this is practice time. It's not appropriate to play around like this."

"I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, Lin Shaobai knocked on the glass door of the practice room.

The three trainees inside immediately turned off the music and stood in a row.

Tian Xiwei was the last to get up, and she slowly straightened her pants.

"Xue'er, why aren't you practicing?"

Lin Shaobai asked.

Kong Xueer lowered her head in shame: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I..."

“I was the one who asked her to play with me,” Tian Xiwei said, raising her hand with particular righteousness.

Actually, Kong Xueer didn't want to practice today, so she just sat there playing.

Lin Shaobai looked into Tian Daxia's bright eyes and sighed helplessly: "You?"

Tian Xi smiled and said, "A person can't practice all the time. Just like a person will go crazy if they work all the time, they need to rest. A balance between work and rest is the best way of life."

"Okay. Come out here for a moment."

Lin Shaobai waved and then walked with Xiao Tian to the end of the corridor.

"what?"

Tian Xi asked slightly.

“I’ve noticed you’ve been coming to the company a lot lately and spending a lot of time with Xue’er.”

"Of course! I think Shere is a very interesting person. She has a gentle and kind personality, and I like her!"

"Playing during breaks is fine, but it's Sheryl's training time right now, so it's best not to disturb them. Trainees train very intensely, unlike actors."

Tian Xi pouted slightly: "I just saw that she was too tired every day, so I thought I would take her to rest."

"Alright, alright. I'll just tell you about this. It's almost September, and they'll be going to the factory at the end of the year. Right now, they're just practicing the group dance, and they also have their own performance shows to practice. Time is of the essence."

"Oh……"

Tian Xi nodded slightly.

"Hey, that's strange, you didn't give me a couple of punches?" Lin Shaobai took Tian Xiwei's hand: "You're listening to me so seriously."

"I wouldn't mind giving you two punches right now."

"No, no, no, please spare my life, Master Tian!"

"Now that you mention it, Sheryl really needs to practice more. But... but I really think she's already amazing."

"There are always people more skilled than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. She still has a lot of practice to do. By the way, how about our heroine Tian goes down the idol route?"

Lin Shaobai joked, gesturing to Tian Xiwei's face with his hand: "You're definitely going to be the visual center when you debut. You'll be pioneering the path of the big-eyed visual center!"

"Okay, okay." Tian Xi nodded twice with satisfaction: "President Lin, you have good taste! I'd definitely be the face of the group if I debuted. But! I don't want to be in a girl group, I like acting."

Xiao Tian is good-looking and has a good figure, so she shouldn't have too much trouble practicing singing and dancing.

Anyway, most talent shows in the Chinese entertainment industry are just amateur productions. Those who are good-looking, have distinctive features, and are outgoing and witty are often more popular than trainees who have trained for years!
Even if Oda doesn't have any contact with this circle, he knows a little bit about it.

"President Lin! President Lin!"

Assistant Xiao Zhao finally spotted Lin Shaobai in the corner of the stairs after circling around. She quickly ran over and said, "Li Yitong is here."

"Li Yitong?"

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't have much contact with Li Yitong.

The general public's perception of Li Yitong is that he has the most resources but has never become popular.

No matter how many resources she receives, she just won't become famous.

He belongs to the type who is neither too popular nor too obscure; his works always outweigh his personality.

Li Xiaoqin also has this trait.

Besides that, Lin Shaobai had another impression of Li Yitong: her eyes curved like crescent moons when she smiled, which was very beautiful.

"Yes, they said they had contacted you before and wanted to meet up today."

"Oh! I remember now."

Lin Shaobai then remembered that he had communicated with her agent before, saying that Li Yitong wanted to come here to get to know her and make friends.

"Then you go ahead, I'll go back to the practice room." Tian Xi waved her hand and walked into the idol's practice room first.

Lin Shaobai and his assistant Xiao Zhao arrived at the first floor of the company together.

I saw Li Yitong in the lounge, dressed as casually as possible, wearing a baseball cap and a mask.

"Hello, Teacher Lin."

Li Yitong has a cheerful personality, and also possesses a gentleness and maturity unique to older sisters.

Tongjie was born in 1990, making her almost ten years older than Lin Shaobai.

But she just happened to admire such a young boy.

Li Yi took off her hat and mask, revealing her beautiful face.

"Teacher Lin, I have always loved listening to your songs. I have all of your songs in my playlist, and I also like to sing your songs when I go to karaoke."

Li Yitong always speaks with a smile on his face.

She also likes to tilt her head slightly, with stray hairs hanging down beside her ears, which makes her smiling eyes even brighter and more charming.

"This is the first time I've heard of this." Lin Shaobai poured two cups of tea and handed them to Li Yitong and her assistant.

"Because I've always been a bit shy... Later, someone gave me a push, and I mustered up the courage to think about whether I could make friends with someone. Actually, I'm a pretty good singer."

Li Yitong is being overly modest; she actually sings quite well.

She graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy, but she can do everything from acting to singing.

Perhaps it is indeed "cold-blooded," with resources and popularity failing to meet public expectations.

Whether someone becomes famous or not really depends on fate.

"I'm so sorry, I completely forgot you were supposed to come today."

"I'm a bit late too, it's my fault. It's really not good for tourists to come here."

Li Yitong quickly offered an explanation.

"Tourists? Visiting my company?"

Lin Shaobai was helpless.

Only Xiaohan would turn her company into a tourist attraction.

Fans will visit and take photos at the company where their idols work.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you might even run into your idol eating or training at the company.

"Yes."

Li Yitong smiled, pursing his lips.

She doesn't have anything to do, so she might as well come over and take a look.

"I want to see where you record your songs, because I really, really love your songs."

"Oh……"

Lin Shaobai understood; Tong Jie was a fan.

"I'm just wondering if coming at this time will bother you? There was traffic on the way, and it's almost dinnertime."

Li Yi stood up from his seat and took out his phone in front of him: "Could we exchange contact information before I leave?"

She could have easily gotten Lin Shaobai's contact information directly from his agent.

But after thinking about it, I decided to add them as friends face-to-face.

Asking for contact information out of the blue might not be a good impression.

"no problem."

Lin Shaobai's straightforwardness left Tong Jie stunned.

And so, the process of adding friends went even more smoothly than Li Yitong had imagined.

She controlled her excitement.

Add the contact information of your favorite singer, and feel like they are standing right in front of you right now.

I felt as happy as if I had a big mouthful of cotton candy, which slowly melted sweetly in my mouth.

"Since we're free right now, how about I take you to the recording studio?"

"Okay, thank you so much.

The two rode the elevator together, and Li Yitong looked at Lin Shaobai's profile and couldn't help but say, "I can sing all your songs."

"Really?"

Lin Shaobai smiled.

He is a hugely popular singer in the music industry, and countless celebrities enjoy listening to his songs.

I just didn't expect that Sister Tong would come to the company directly to talk about this.

"Really, especially 'If the Moon Doesn't Come.' I've always used it as my phone ringtone. I've wondered countless times how you wrote such good lyrics and such good music. No wonder everyone says you're a genius."

Li Yitong is now a model of a gentle and kind older sister, and she doesn't hold back her praise at all.

He was poised and elegant, and while he deeply admired Lin Shaobai, he never appeared crazy or strange on the surface.

“A talented man…” Lin Shaobai paused, coughed lightly with his fist to his mouth, and then said, “He’s alright. He barely qualifies as a talented man.”

Li Yitong smiled, her eyes crinkling: "I didn't expect you to be so open about it."

"The facts are right here, what's there to hide?"

Lin Shaobai's songs are not just for fan circles to enjoy.

The song is loved by everyone from eighty-year-old grandmas and patriarchs to adorable six- or seven-year-old children.

"Um, I have a small wish, I just wanted to ask when you're releasing a new song?"

Li Yitong naturally placed his hands in front of him, carrying a small white bag.

"Sister Tong, you've finally made your purpose for coming clear. Tourist? I told you, what is there to see here?"

After Lin Shaobai finished speaking, he and Li walked out of the elevator together and walked to the front of the recording studio.

"I'm urging for more updates. Oh, wait, I mean, I'm urging for more songs!"

"This isn't appropriate. We're pushing them right up to the person in question," Lin Shaobai joked. "Not only are we pushing them, but we're making them our tour guides."

"Oh dear." Li Yitong slowly opened his eyes wide, realizing that Lin Shaobai's words made some sense.

"What celebrity would go to such lengths? Sigh, I'm still so devoted to my fans," Lin Shaobai said deliberately.

While Li Yitong was amused, he also wondered if Lin Shaobai was really that interesting in private.

"So the person in question still hasn't answered the fans' wishes."

Li Yitong is no fool.

I definitely have to take this opportunity to ask when the new song will be released.

Those songs I released before are so worn out they're practically patina-covered!

"It should be soon. I've been preparing to record the album and release a new album all this time."

"A new album?" Li Yi took a step forward, getting closer to Lin Shaobai, his eyes shining. "Really?"

Lin Shaobai smelled a refreshing fruit tea fragrance on Tong Jie.

Li Yitong's face is naturally sweet, yet her temperament also possesses the elegance of an orchid.

It combines grace and resilience.

"Yes, I can't reveal the exact number of songs."

"Can't you really tell me?"

Li Yi tilted his head and tentatively asked, "What if I pay for the information?"

"how much is it?"

"piece."
