Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 227, Section 226: Zhou Ye Shatters the Chinese Music Scene (4k)

One program after another went by, and soon it was Zhou Ye and Liu Tao's turn.

Zhou Ye looks really good today; he really does have that idol vibe.

It's just a pity that my mindset isn't as stable as my idol's.

Seeing this, Liu Tao went over and hugged her.

This will shock my senior sister for 100 years.

"Ok?"

Zhou Ye blinked.

Was I hugged?

Was I hugged by Senior Liu Tao?

Oh my God!

Zhou Ye snapped out of his daze, his face turning bright red with embarrassment.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. It's okay."

Liu Tao, like a gentle older sister, gently comforted Zhou Ye with her hand.

Strangely enough, Zhou Ye immediately quieted down.

My heart isn't beating as fast as it used to.

"Sister Liu Tao..."

"I know you're nervous because it's your first time performing at a New Year's Eve concert, but it's okay, thankfully I'm here with you."

Zhou Ye never expected that Sister Tao would be so approachable.

I hadn't had much contact with her before; I'd only seen some of her dramas on TV or in the classic variety show "Divas Hit the Road."

Ah, I'm so touched, what a gentle older sister.

Zhou Ye took a step back and smiled brightly: "Thank you, Sister Tao, I'm much better now."

"That's good. But I've noticed a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"You are really beautiful."

"...Ah, thank you, Sister Tao."

……

Zhou Ye's program was in the middle, and the lights came on instantly after the host announced her and Liu Tao's names.

The senior student walked slowly onto the stage, her palms damp with a thin layer of sweat.

To be honest, I could hear the audience cheering even before I actually stepped onto the stage.

At this moment, Zhou Ye's nervousness began to be mixed with a touch of excitement.

She looked forward to the result of her performance.

Zhou Ye and Liu Tao went on stage and began to sing, and everything proceeded smoothly.

Below the stage was a sea of ​​thousands of spectators, their glow sticks forming a starry sky, and every pair of eyes burning like searchlights.

Zhou Ye appeared quite calm, but the hand holding the microphone was actually trembling slightly.

It's clear that non-professional singers can't adapt to this kind of stage.

Fortunately, they had practiced many times, and after singing the whole song with gritted teeth, Zhou Ye and Liu Tao bowed to the audience.

The senior's legs were shaking as she stepped off the stage.

"call!"

"It's finally over, it's over!"

Zhou Ye clenched his fist and raised it above his head with great joy.

Liu Tao didn't say anything more, she just looked at her with gentle kindness.

Afterwards, Zhou Ye went to communicate with the director team about some things, and only after he finished did he come to the lounge to meet Lin Shaobai.

Because it would take forever to wait until midnight, Lin Shaobai covered his head and closed his eyes to rest.

Only he and his assistant Xiao Zhao were in the lounge. Zhou Ye glanced around after entering and felt relieved.

We're all on the same side, no need to stand on ceremony!
When Assistant Xiao Zhao saw Zhou Ye, her expression gradually turned to one of heartache.

Zhou Ye: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on me?"

"No, it's because you're pretty."

"Oh dear." Zhou Ye blushed and scratched his cheek with a touch of pride. "This...this...although I've been praised many times...it doesn't hurt to hear it again."

Actually, assistant Xiao Zhao had another idea in mind.

Zhou Ye truly has both good looks and a great voice.

How do you sing... this is the tune you sing in.

As expected, fate did close one door for her!
Zhou Ye tiptoed up to Lin Shaobai and, with a mischievous idea, pinched his nose.

Lin Shaobai immediately woke up and opened his eyes to see his senior sister's beautiful face.

"Did you sleep well?" Zhou Ye relaxed slightly, but still kept his hand on Lin Shaobai's nose.

She wore the standard mischievous little witch's smile.

"Oh no, I think I heard some really scary singing around that time."

Lin Shaobai joked.

"what?"

Zhou Ye immediately sat up straight, looking slightly worried, and said, "The terrifying singing you mentioned, you're not talking about me, are you?"

"Seems to be."

"impossible."

Zhou Ye felt a little flustered.

Although I sing terribly in private, I'm not exactly singing live on stage.

That's a mindset issue!
Seeing this, assistant Xiao Zhao calmly opened the trending search and handed it to Zhou Ye.

"Zhou Ye is singing?"

When Zhou Ye saw those four words at the top of the trending searches, his heart sank to the bottom.

It's over.

It's trending at number one?!

With our current popularity, it shouldn't be enough for us to trend at number one on social media just by singing a song, right?
Could it be that he got trending on social media because his singing was so awful that people were laughing at him?
Zhou Ye immediately clicked on the entry.

That doesn't make sense. How could it be trending on social media right after the performance?
[Zhou Ye sang a song on the second season of "Youth Travel Notes". What did you think of his performance?]

It turns out that this entry wasn't referring to songs from the New Year's Eve concert.

This refers to the variety show "Youth Travel Notes Season 2", which premiered today.

In the very first episode of this variety show, Zhou Ye showcased her beautiful singing voice, belting out a song while playing games with everyone!
The variety show was updated at noon, so why did it only start trending on social media in the evening?
It just appeared out of nowhere, without any warning whatsoever.

Now I finally know which window God closed for Zhou Ye?

She clearly has a face that's perfect for singing, so why is she like this?

[Haha, so this is how Zhou Ye sings! Hahaha.]

Forgive me for laughing, it wasn't very kind of me.

It's not exactly unpleasant to listen to, but it's definitely not pleasant either.

With such a beautiful face... okay, I have someone else for singing!

Is it possible that she did this on purpose to get everyone's attention?

[People with dark minds see everything in a dark light. The members of the Spring Outing Family are all nice people; please don't criticize any of them.]

Am I the only one who thinks Zhou Ye's singing is cute?

[Isn't she supposed to be cold and aloof? Isn't her singing adorable?]

Zhou Ye has shattered the Chinese music scene.

[The Nightingale of the Chinese Entertainment Industry [Admiration]]

The discussion among netizens became increasingly heated, and soon a hashtag titled #ZhouYeShattersTheChineseMusicScene# topped the trending searches.

Zhou Yeren was completely numb.

This feeling is no less than when Xiaotian saw her #CuteGoddessTianXiwei# trending on social media.

Fortunately, netizens were quite friendly.

The entire conversation was filled with jokes and references, and there was no malicious insult.

It was more of a playful game.

Besides, it's not a big deal if you can't sing well.

She's an actress, after all; no one says she has to be a good singer.

However, Zhou Ye still fell into deep self-doubt.

"Is my singing...is it really that bad?"

Zhou Ye lay dejectedly on the sofa in the lounge.

The world felt like it had turned gray and white.

How did that happen?

As a result, the New Year's Eve concert ended peacefully, but the first variety show appearance was ridiculed for its voice shattering the Chinese music scene.

Is this appropriate?!
Because it was her first time participating in a reality show, she sang without reservation, only to be told that her singing was terrible.

You sang so earnestly back then!
I want to die, I want to die, I want to die.

Lin Shaobai and his assistant Xiao Zhao watched Zhou Ye's "collapse" from a distance.

"You showed her the trending topic?" Lin Shaobai asked. Assistant Xiao Zhao replied, "Because President Lin mentioned singing, I remembered there was a trending topic about it."

"Tsk, I was just saying, and you actually showed it to her."

Lin Shaobai hadn't expected that the trending topic would be related to variety shows.

"Yes, privately speaking, Zhou Ye isn't very competitive. I feel that she's mainly doing this because the trending topic about her singing being terrible is so popular. And everyone is joking that she's shattering the Chinese music scene."

"Um……"

"But Mr. Lin! I don't think you need to worry too much. I just searched the public square, and actually, people like her more because of this incident!"

"Yeah?"

Lin Shaobai turned his head, slightly surprised.

"That's right, I took screenshots of some of the comments. I found that this cute and adorable way of singing makes people feel that Zhou Ye is a real person, an imperfect person. And the contrast between his good looks and his terrible singing creates a cute effect."

Assistant Xiao Zhao quickly sent the screenshot to Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai glanced around and felt that what Xiao Zhao said made sense.

The grumpy, arrogant woman might not appeal to netizens, but this adorable "nightingale" persona is sure to make everyone laugh.

Zhou Ye's cheerful and lively demeanor on variety shows, along with the natural ease he exudes when singing, makes him seem very down-to-earth to the audience.

The escape also created a rare sense of humor.

Lin Shaobai put his phone away and looked at Zhou Ye in the distance again.

This trending topic is a good thing.

“It’s not good for her to be lying there like that, I’ll go check on her.”

Seeing that Zhou Ye was still lying on the sofa and wouldn't get up, Lin Shaobai decided to go over and comfort him.

"Sister."

Lin Shaobai squatted down beside the sofa and gently held Zhou Ye's hand: "Senior sister, it's just a variety show, there's no need to take it to heart anymore, and I think you sing quite well."

"Really?"

Zhou Ye didn't look up, but mumbled a pitiful expression.

"Of course."

"Don't give me that. You just said I had a terrifying singing voice."

"I was just joking with my senior sister, you know, we joke around all the time, don't we?"

Zhou Ye remained silent.

It felt like my whole body had been turned off.

Lin Shaobai turned to look at his assistant, Xiao Zhao, who sighed helplessly.

Zhou Ye: "Why did I become famous in this way...?"

"It's a good thing."

"What's so good about it? Everyone's laughing at me for singing badly."

"You probably didn't see that everyone later said you sang very cutely, and that you were the nightingale of the Chinese entertainment industry."

"Ok?"

Zhou Ye picked up his phone again and scrolled through the comments from passersby under the trending topic.

The facts are just as Lin Shaobai said.

People have really started to change their previous ideas.

Before appearing on reality shows, the public perceived the senior sister's personality as having a grumpy face and being rather arrogant.

In our busy lives, aside from fans, who would bother to pay attention to what kind of personality a celebrity has in private?
This trending topic actually brought out her adorable side.

"Oh? Huh? Hey?"

Zhou Ye was shocked by three consecutive statements.

Lin Shaobai stood up and patted his senior sister's head: "Happy now?"

"Oh, I thought everyone was criticizing me. I even thought my public image had hit rock bottom."

"Your singing clip was so funny, no one will criticize you."

"I can finally relax..."

Meanwhile, Xiaotian finished his performance and went backstage.

Although her singing and dancing skills are not as good as professional idols, they are still okay.

At least they won't be called the "nightingale team" of the Chinese entertainment industry.

After her performance, she checked the trending topics and found that Zhou Ye was at the top!
"Oh? Zhou Ye shatters the Chinese music scene? What kind of weird trending topic is this?"

Tian Xiwei clicked on Zhou Ye's singing clip from the variety show "Youth Travel Notes Season 2".

"Forehead……"

After hearing this, Tian Xi covered her face.

"This...this, this, this..."

"Is this how she sings?"

"correct!"

Tian Xiwei suddenly thought of something and burst into laughter.

The staff members nearby were somewhat stunned.

"Teacher Tian, ​​are you alright?"

Is your brain functioning properly?
"it's okay no problem."

Tian Xiwei secretly thought to herself that she would have another reason to mock this guy surnamed Zhou!

We've got something on her, haha!

Zhang Jingyi, who was watching the trending topics at home, was also shocked by Zhou Ye.

I even wondered if he was deliberately singing so badly.

Some people might deliberately sing badly to attract the audience's attention.

However, as things stand at the moment...

Zhou Ye doesn't seem like that kind of person.

"So it turns out you sing terribly."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled Zhou Ye's singing.

"He has a strangely good sense of humor."

……

As time went on, the trending topics gradually lost popularity, but they never fell out of the top five of the trending topics list.

As midnight approached, Lin Shaobai went on stage to sing a song.

His popularity is undeniable; the entire venue erupts in cheers at the mere sound of his voice.

He's the kind of man who could turn a New Year's Eve concert into a solo concert.

Just a few minutes after the performance, the clock struck midnight.

Lin Shaobai and his assistant went off the stage and left the venue with Zhou Ye, standing on the side of the street waiting for a car.

The three of them were all wearing long down jackets, wrapped up like dumplings.

"call……"

Zhou Ye looked at the bright moon in the distance and suddenly sighed. The down collar of his down jacket trembled slightly in the wind.

Lin Shaobai: "What's wrong?"

"It was just a false alarm for me."

It was so cold that Zhou Ye squinted as the cold wind blew through his eyes.

"Recently, I kept seeing people criticizing me on the trending topics, which made me feel... a bit helpless."

"But from my observation, people who dislike senior sister are still a minority; most people still like her very much."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye wanted to turn and look at Lin Shaobai.

Because the hood of the down jacket was too big, I could only tilt my head to the side.

A few strands of hair slipped out from under the scarf, swaying gently beside her cheek.

"Ah."

Lin Shaobai also tilted his head to look at Zhou Ye standing next to him.

The way the two tilted their heads and looked at each other was strangely comical, but unfortunately only the assistant, Xiao Zhao, saw it.

Assistant Xiao Zhao wondered if this was a public display of affection.
so boring!

"Congratulations, senior sister."

"Congratulations for what?"

"Your singing segment from 'Youth Travel Notes Season 2' went viral."

"Oh, is it so?"

Zhou Ye turned around and looked into the distance once more.

"Although everyone says I sing terribly, if it can help the show become popular... I don't mind sacrificing myself!"

"In that case, Xiao Zhao, contact her and get her registered for 'Singer.' That'll generate more buzz," Lin Shaobai said to his assistant in a serious tone.

Zhou Ye: "Hey!"

I made a mistake earlier; it should be the New Year's Eve concert on Jiangsu TV.
