Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 212 211. "Qingqing's Daily Life" is a huge hit, Xiaotian is famous! (4K)

Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi's trending topics soared to number one.

This massive influx of traffic is unstoppable.

Zhou Ye felt like the sky was falling when he saw this trending topic on Weibo after just waking up.

Who on earth is going to keep creating this trending topic to annoy people every single day?!

And this was just a very short interview, how could someone dig it up and edit it?

Zhou Ye did not sense anything unusual during the interview.

When I looked back at it now, I realized... my face was really grumpy!
Especially since she was all smiles earlier, her face immediately turned cold as soon as Zhang Shimei was mentioned in the interview.

She couldn't stop netizens from saying that she and Zhang Shimei were twin flowers.

"Is it that similar?"

Zhou Ye got out of bed and looked at his face in the mirror.

She looked left and right, up and down, but couldn't find any resemblance between her and Junior Sister Zhang.

If I absolutely had to point out a similarity, it would be the gender.

"No. How could I have thought of such a stupid thing?"

Faced with these repeated trending topics, Zhou Ye decided to give up.

Who cares? Since it's traffic, let's just accept it!

Zhang Jingyi initially struggled to cope with the online abuse, accusations, and discussions, but gradually calmed down.

Sure enough, once people get busy, they can simply ignore those comments online.

The intense rivalry between the two fan groups was causing her a lot of headaches.

……

……

……

On October 20th, filming for Lin Shaobai's movie "The Vanished She" was completely completed.

His skin has become darker than before due to being exposed to the sun every day.

During his rare break, he returned to the company and held a special meeting with Zhou Ye.

"Senior sister, I've enrolled you in a class."

Upon meeting, Lin Shaobai spoke frankly.

Zhou Ye sat opposite him, looking completely bewildered: "What class? An English class? I'm learning English?"

"No need for that. It's an expression management class."

"What the hell?"

"Without a doubt, you need to take a facial expression management class."

"Why did you suddenly say this?"

Zhou Ye didn't understand why Lin Shaobai said that at all.

Lin Shaobai placed the company's schedule for the idols in front of Zhou Ye: "Our company has set up facial expression management courses for the idols. So you can take them together."

Zhou Ye's eyes widened.

"No, what?! I'm from the acting department. Why would I take an expression management class?"

Lin Shaobai: "So you're saying your face instantly falls over every time Zhang Jingyi is involved, and now everyone's here—"

"Don't you know why things turned out this way between Zhang Jingyi and me?"

Zhou Ye was so angry that he stood up from his seat.

She thought to herself, "How dare you ask me about this?!"

"...Yes, yes, yes. My question. I think taking an expression management class would be good for you. Think about how you're going to be on a reality show soon, and reality shows are terrifying. Senior, every expression you make will be captured by the camera, let alone a cold face."

Zhou Ye slowly sat down: "I know... alright then, anyway, I don't have anything to do lately."

“That matter between you and Zhang Jingyi has nothing to do with the company. The company has not marketed anything in that direction. But I have had the company collect evidence.”

"Evidence collection?"

"There are some people who spread rumors about you, as well as those who make extremely excessive personal attacks, etc. We will collect evidence and file a lawsuit against them."

Zhou Ye was surprised that Lin Shaobai still had time to deal with these things.

"Your fans love you so much." Lin Shaobai scrolled through Weibo, seeing a bunch of fans urging him to control the rumor-mongers under the company's comments every day.

"That's right, I love my fans very much too."

"Alright, go to class now. I'll give you a crash course on facial expression management."

"..."

Zhou Ye rubbed his arm helplessly, then carried his bag all the way to the top floor of the company.

There, she met three idols who were already seated and waiting for class.

Kong Xueer was dozing off when she opened her eyes and found Zhou Ye sitting next to her, which startled her so much that she almost screamed.

"Oh no!"

"what?"

Zhou Ye looked at her with a smile.

"You've come to the wrong place, haven't you? This is our facial expression management class."

"Sigh," Zhou Ye sighed, "President Lin asked me to come and listen as well."

Kong Xueer indirectly recalled the Weibo post that had been widely discussed online about Zhou Ye's cold and sullen face.

Perhaps Mr. Lin had Zhou Ye attend the facial expression management class for this reason.

"Okay, then I'll cram for a few lessons and become flawless afterwards."

"Does a machine become unusable if it's completely watertight? I think it still needs to feel like a living, breathing human."

"That's what I think too, but in some important interviews, if you seem like a real person, it's easy for people to find fault with you."

Zhou Ye said he could only go with the flow of the world.

"Hey, by the way, Yezi." Kong Xueer suddenly hugged Zhou Ye affectionately: "You've suddenly become so cheerful."

"That's enough, Kong Xueer."

Zhou Ye lowered his head helplessly.

Hey, why are they using their ultimate skill so close to my face?!
My senior sister is actually a very cheerful and happy "Samoyed" in private.

Netizens took her words out of context and portrayed her as a wicked woman who was arrogant and difficult to approach.

Sigh, the internet is just something you can't really explain.

Meanwhile, Lin Shaobai met with his agent in the office.

"I heard you signed Zhou Ye up for an expression management course? You're hilarious, that's a course for idols."

“Actresses need it too. Let her practice a bit, since she’s going to be on a reality show soon anyway. It’s all beneficial.”

"You were invited to the 2019 MAMA awards, along with Nazar. Are you familiar with Nazar?"

"Not familiar. We've only met once before, and haven't talked since."

"Oh."

Agent Li Jie sat down naturally in the chair opposite Lin Shaobai, arms crossed: "Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi have been generating buzz lately, have you thought about marketing that?"

"No." Lin Shaobai shook his head.

"This is an unexpected surge in traffic; the first person to notice that the two of them look alike is truly a genius."

"There's no need to market this, and my senior sister is already very averse to people saying she looks like Zhang Jingyi. If she knew the company was doing this behind her back, she would definitely get angry at me."

Lin Shaobai thought that the company itself could provide Zhou Ye with a lot of resources, so there was no need for marketing.

Moreover, excessive marketing will only make netizens more disgusted.

"Sigh, now that I'm watching those interview clips of Zhou Ye, I'm really worried that she'll be bombarded with criticism by netizens if she goes on a reality show."

The agent scratched his head.

Lin Shaobai wasn't worried at all.

He has known his senior since 2017.

Privately, she is optimistic, kind, sincere, and cheerful. She would definitely gain a lot of fans if she appeared on a reality show.

The fact that Zhang Jingyi's expression changes upon being mentioned is a special case.

"The music album is actually finished. You can choose a good day and we'll release it."

"A good day... let's make it November then."

"There's one more thing."

The agent gradually moved closer, carefully examining Lin Shaobai's face.

Lin Shaobai didn't understand, but smiled respectfully.

"What's wrong?" "You're only thinking about Zhou Ye, but our acting department also has a second artist, Xiao Tiantian. Aren't you paying attention to her?"

"Of course I'm paying attention, how could I not?"

"Then you..."

"Qingqing Daily Life is about to be released, and The Beginning is about to start filming. These two dramas can become Xiaotian's retirement insurance."

These two dramas are well-known hits.

With these, Xiaotian will probably become even more popular than her senior.

……

At the end of the month, Beijing was thoroughly chilled by a sudden downpour.

The leaden-gray clouds hung low, as if they might fall at any moment.

Today is the premiere day of the historical drama "Qingqing's Daily Life".

The show received extensive publicity before its premiere.

The kiwi website also cares a lot about this show.

The broadcast started at 6 PM, and by 5:50 PM, Lin Shaobai's fans were already waiting in front of their computers!
Chen Siqi, a die-hard fan, dragged her roommates along to watch it this time.

My roommate is indifferent to Lin Shaobai; she neither dislikes nor likes him. At this time of day, it's fine for her to watch a show while eating.

The four girls in the dormitory huddled together in front of the computer, waiting for the broadcast to start on time.

I kept refreshing the page, and once I saw four episodes had appeared, I quickly clicked to watch them.

The opening scene, which introduces the world of "Qingqing's Daily Life," is refreshing and rarely seen in TV dramas of this type.

Not bad! Worth watching!

Next, the female lead, played by Tian Xiwei, appeared, and the roommates looked at each other in surprise.

"Hmm? I've never seen this person before."

"This actress is so cute, what's her name?"

"Wow! Her eyes are so big, they feel like they're twice the size of mine."

"You're really exaggerating your abilities, aren't you? There are three big ones."

"Wow, how can an actress have such big eyes?"

"What a sweet girl."

"This is an artist from Lin Shaobai's company. Her name is Tian Xiwei."

Because Chen Siqi liked Lin Shaobai, she also got to know the female lead who acted with him.

"Tian Xiwei? I've never heard of this actress."

"I haven't heard of it either."

"But she acted quite well."

"No wonder he's an artist that Lin Shaobai has taken a liking to."

Most people are unfamiliar with Tian Xiwei.

Unable to resist her good looks and decent acting skills, she quickly attracted a lot of attention.

The four roommates were still not satisfied after the first episode ended.

"Episode 2 has started, are you guys still going to watch it?"

"Of course I'll watch it, it's really good! As expected, Lin Shaobai is a guarantee of a good drama."

"Wait a minute, ladies, I'm going out to get some water."

Chen Siqi suddenly stood up from her seat.

As I walked down the corridor with my water bottle, I noticed that the female college students passing by were all discussing "Qingqing's Daily Life".

Have you watched Lin Shaobai's new period drama?

"Qingqing's Daily Life?"

"Yes. It's super good. And super funny too!"

"I can binge-watch TV shows again this winter, perfect!"

Chen Siqi was overjoyed to hear that everyone liked her idol's drama so much.

When I returned to the dorm, I found that my roommate had several bags of potato chips in his arms.

"Hurry up, we've been waiting for you! Press start now!"

"it is good!"

At the same time, the hashtag "Qingqing's Daily Life" became a trending topic on Weibo and quickly rose to the top of the trending list!

Clicking through reveals not only empty comments from fans, but also many genuine reviews from casual users.

[Can a real passerby tell me if this show is good or not?]

[It's super good, but I'm not a fan of anyone.]

[It's a very novel light-hearted period comedy. I think it's quite good, and most importantly, Lin Shaobai is handsome!]

How come Lin Shaobai is so handsome in this drama? He's reached a new level of handsomeness in period costume! [rose emoji]

[Lin Shaobai is too powerful! Zhang Wansen was popular not long ago, and now the Sixth Young Master is going to be popular too!]

[Hahaha, Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother!]

Am I the only one who likes the female lead in this drama?

[Tian Xiwei! I specifically looked her up, and the female lead's surname is Tian. I'm betting this woman will become famous.]

Actually, China lacks actresses with this sweet and charming type right now. I think her acting is quite good, and she's beautiful; she'll become popular.

[This is actually her first drama, and she's done so well in her first one. She has a bright future ahead of her.]

[Why are so many young actresses born after 95 popping up all the time? First there were the twin beauties Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi, and now Tian Xiwei has appeared. I don't even know which one to look at!]

The lighthearted, humorous ensemble cast storyline, coupled with the superb acting skills of the male and female leads, caused the show's popularity to skyrocket.

No matter which platform you use, you can find clips of this show.

The show reached a peak popularity of 10,000 within just five hours of its premiere!
As we all know, the popularity of kiwifruit is equal to that of penguins (30,000).

Once the corresponding peak popularity is reached, it will enter the "blockbuster club".

"Qingqing Daily Life," starring Lin Shaobai and Tian Xiwei, has become the fastest drama in Kiwi's history to surpass 10,000 views!

It achieved both high viewership and positive reviews.

But the female protagonist, Oda, was extremely anxious.

For Xiaotian, 6 p.m. used to be an incredibly happy dinner time, but today she was facing the premiere of her first drama series.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous!
To alleviate this anxiety, she decided to take a nap from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. and then get up to see everyone's feedback.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how netizens will judge this drama and how they will judge the female lead, Li Wei.

I cautiously opened Weibo and found that my name was trending!
#Tian Xiwei#

This term is prominently displayed at number ten on the trending search list.

"Mom!"

"real or fake?"

This was the first time in Tian Xiwei's life that she had made it onto Weibo's trending topics, and she was so happy that she jumped up on the bed.

"I'm trending on social media!"

"Wait a minute, we can't be too happy yet. What if we get criticized and trend on social media?"

Tian Xiwei stopped again and clicked on the entry.

She adorably held her phone far away and squinted at it with one eye.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw a comment on the only thing I could see: "Tian Xiwei's acting is really good."

Tian Xiwei scrolled through everyone's comments on the page.

Surprisingly, all positive reviews!
There were all sorts of comments: praising her looks, her acting skills, and her chemistry with the male lead!

Netizens are practically coaxing Xiaotian into becoming an embryo!

"Tian Tian".

Tian Xiwei's mother quietly opened the door to her daughter's bedroom, waved her phone, and said, "You acted so well."

"mom!"

Tian Xiwei jumped off the bed and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Mom, you have no idea how worried I was."

"I really want people to remember the characters I play."

"This is fantastic! I never imagined that my first TV series would achieve such success!"

After finishing writing, I feel dizzy.
