Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 241, Section 240: How come all the popular celebrities are Lin Zong's artists? (4K)

The immense popularity of the talent show "Youth With You Season 2" has made Baichen Entertainment a more well-known company.

Many fans who only follow talent shows are learning about this company for the first time.

I only found out that Baichen Entertainment actually has trainees after watching this show.

[I always thought their company mainly worked with actors.]

Lin Shaobai was truly visionary. He sent trainees to this show early on, and now that the show has become a huge hit, those three trainees who were previously unknown have gained popularity through it.

[The main reason is that the trainees in his company are all very good at singing and dancing, especially Liu Yuxin, an all-around ace!]

[I've met Liu Yuxin through the show, and I absolutely adore her too. Through this program, I've discovered a celebrity I'll be following for the rest of my life.]

I have a lot of goodwill towards Lin Shaobai now. I'm grateful that he found three trainees who show us that there is still hope for idols in the Chinese entertainment industry.

However, in principle, only one member should debut from a company.

[What logic is this? Whose logic is this? Don't you know that several contestants with the "Moonlight" talent emerged during Idol Producer?]

[That's what I was thinking! Besides, Liu Yuxin, Kong Xueer, and Xiao Jin are all ranked very high, never falling out of the top nine. If iQiyi (the platform behind Taobao) were to rig the votes for them and it got out, they'd be condemned to death.]

Haven't these kinds of shows done enough of this kind of ranking messing around?

[No matter what, the show's popularity was largely due to Lin Shaobai attracting viewers in the early stages. It was only after watching the show that people came to like the contestants. It's unlikely that iQiyi (the show's producer) would treat their biggest contributor so unfairly.]

[Am I the only one who thinks Lin Shaobai is amazing? Is his eye for talent really that unique? Tian Xiwei was made famous by his company. Now Kong Xueer, Xiao Jin, and Lao Liu are all famous too, can Lin Shaobai just sit back and relax?]

[On a side note, please support our Xueer, she's definitely the face of the group.]

It's hard to imagine that Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye, Zhang Jingyi, Lin Shaobai, Liu Yuxin, and Kong Xueer all work at the same company. That company must be incredibly powerful!

Lin Shaobai is too amazing. He was a top star by a wide margin, and now he's just as impressive running his company.

He really has a good eye. It's not easy for a company to pick and nurture one person from a bunch of newcomers into a breakout star, and he's managed to pick so many.

The idols in his company are generally very talented.

Looking at the comments under this trending topic, Tian Xiwei sighed, "It seems everyone really likes our company."

"That's true, but it seems like President Lin has been getting criticized lately."

"He got criticized, why? Wasn't he quietly filming recently?"

"Because he is the CEO of this company, it is very common for fans to criticize the person at the top of the company if they have any complaints."

The assistant explained from the side.

Fans feel that the companies their idols are signed with always mistreat the artists, no matter how much they do; in the fans' eyes, it's always a mistreatment.

They couldn't find any other outlet for their frustration, so they could only curse the boss.

Compared to other company founders who have no fans, Lin Shaobai is already considered very good.

He is already a top star, and the fans of his artists can only timidly and secretly vent their resentment.

After all, once it really turns into a fan war, the fighting power of the "white cranes" (fans of the White Cranes) can take over any artist's Weibo page.

"Actually, the most terrifying thing is the show fans."

"Show fans?"

"They are fans of talent shows. You might think that fans of actors might only do something when a TV series or commercial is released, but it's different for fans of talent shows. Every day, there are all sorts of things that require voting for an idol. These are things that fans need to do, and therefore, these idol fans have a very strict division of labor."

"Oh, you know quite a lot."

Tian Xiwei didn't pay much attention to these things, and it was a bit of a novelty for her to hear her assistant mention them for the first time.

"It's nothing, just some experience I've gained from watching talent shows recently."

The fans of talent shows are crazy about voting, and they can be just as crazy when they argue.

Especially towards the end, Liu Yuxin and Yu Shuxin argued incessantly.

Liu Yuxin is a true member of the royal family; she stole first place from our Xiaoyu.

[Yu Shuxin's data has clearly been consistently in first place, isn't it obvious that iQiyi (the platform behind Yu Shuxin) is suppressing her votes? Are they trying to promote a favorite?]

[Who's the royalty? They know it in their hearts. Can't sing, can't dance, utterly useless at both, and ugly too. You think you can get the center position just by being funny? Dream on.]

If that guy surnamed Yu ends up getting the center position, then this whole group is eliminated.

[Skill is the most important thing. If you can't sing or dance, is that suitable for a girl group?]

[A girl group should look like a girl group. What's the point of having a short-haired center?]

[Who says the center position can't be a girl with short hair? The show "Youth With You" was all about creating the impossible.]

[Liu Yuxin, backed by the powerful Baichen Entertainment company, can do whatever she wants.]

[This is hilarious. Yu Shuxin isn't from a big company, is HuaCe not from a big company?]

[Bai Chen Entertainment has so many artists under its umbrella. Tian Xiwei, Zhang Jingyi, and Zhou Ye are all from the company. Do you think that's not a big company? Plus, their founder, Lin Shaobai, is a top-tier celebrity. Who in China doesn't know Lin Shaobai?]

[Our Yuxin's overwhelming center position is based on solid stage presence; her all-around ace status isn't just talk. When will Fathead Fish's fans realize that a center position requires a certain level of skill? Don't they understand what a "determining sea god" center is?]

[The center position in a girl group should be a benchmark for singing and dancing. If Yu Shuxin is chosen as the center in the finale, how many people will laugh at her? I feel that if things continue like this, this group will be worse than the group from Produce Camp next door.]

[The center position requires popularity, and our Xingxingzi (a nickname for a member of the group) brings her own popularity, which can bring countless benefits to this group. Tell me, after this show, who knows Liu Yuxin? She's a nobody.]

[What else can this pretentious, pretty-boy type do besides being coquettish? Calling her a "pretentious vase" is too much of a stretch; she's too tall for that.]

Of the three trainees sent out by Baichen Entertainment this time, Liu Yuxin has developed the best so far, gaining a large number of loyal fans.

She is also a hot favorite for the center position on the night of the group's formation.

Lin Shaobai trusted her completely.

However, this time the fans' arguments got so intense that many old, unflattering photos have been circulating on Weibo.

It's ridiculous that Lin Shaobai could see it even while lying in the RV scrolling through his phone.

He quickly contacted the relevant personnel in charge.

"Mr. Lin."

"You guys need to clean up those things on Yuxin's Weibo page."

"I understand, Mr. Lin, don't worry."

"Oh, and also, the final night of Youth With You Season 2 is about to be recorded, and a new round of voting is about to begin. Could you arrange for all the artists in your company to record a video to cheer them on and promote the show?"

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Fortunately, Bai Chen has a few famous celebrities, otherwise he wouldn't know who to ask to go out and cheer for him.

Assistant Xiao Zhao, who had been sitting beside him listening, spoke up only after the call ended: "President Lin, the votes for Liu Yuxin and Yu Shuxin are overwhelmingly in favor of each other. The center position will be decided between the two of them."

"It must be Yuxin."

Lin Shaobai said with great certainty.

Assistant Xiao Zhao asked with slight curiosity, "The finals haven't even started yet, and President Lin is already..."

"Just think about it. Although the public says that their popularity is about the same, those who know the market know that Liu Yuxin from our company has a stronger fanbase, and her strength is undeniable. This center position is just right."

"Too."

Lin Shaobai ran into the staff of the Kiwi Entertainment column when he came out of the RV.

I arranged the interview a few days ago.

The second season of "Youth With You" has been incredibly popular recently, reaching a level where everyone is following the show.

Lin Shaobai is not only the producer but also the boss of the most popular contestant. The staff quickly realized that this was a great time to interview him and generate high viewership. "Hello Mr. Lin, Youth With You Season 2 is coming to an end soon. Is there anything you'd like to say to the three trainees under your company?"

Looking at the camera, Lin Shaobai calmly said, "This journey will soon come to an end. I hope they cherish their time on the show and that they can all achieve results that satisfy them."

They have a whole repertoire of official pleasantries.

"Which of these three trainees does Mr. Lin think has the most potential?"

"..."

Lin Shaobai sneered.

Who came up with this brilliant question?

“Yuxin, Xueer, and Xiaojin are all trainees in my company, so of course they are treated equally. I said before that I hope all three of them will achieve good results.”

"Oh……"

Lin Shaobai gave his assistant Xiao Zhao a look from a distance, and Xiao Zhao quickly told the interviewers, "Sorry, we're about to start filming."

I was originally planning to answer a few more, but when I heard this question, something seemed off.

There might still be some pitfalls, so let's finish this quickly.

Since they are all trainees sent out by the company, it is important to treat them equally.

Let's wait until the group is formed before making any decisions.

Currently, Liu Yuxin has the greatest commercial value.

At this moment, Kong Xueer and her two companions, who were filming behind closed doors, were lying on their dormitory beds.

"I secretly checked the comments on my phone and I felt like I was being scolded terribly. They called me a slut."

Kong Xueer suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Xiao Jin: "Pfft."

"Xiao Jin, you're usually quiet, but when you do speak, you laugh at people. Is that appropriate?"

Kong Xueer was helpless.

To those who don't know her, her appearance certainly suggests a haughty and wicked woman.

"That day someone told me that everyone said I was mute."

Xiao Jin comforted Kong Xueer from a different perspective.

Kong Xueer: "That's too much! Even though you don't talk much, you still speak! How can you say you're mute?!"

"Ah, never mind, I really don't talk much, I'm afraid to speak."

Xiao Jin thinks everyone's points are quite valid.

Liu Yuxin put her hands behind her head, stared at the ceiling, and said in a muffled voice, "That's all fine, but they just called me a tomboy. They said I'm a freak."

"..."

"..."

Kong Xueer and Xiao Jin both fell silent.

"Our profession inevitably attracts gossip, so I think we shouldn't take it too seriously."

After Liu Yuxin finished speaking, she sat up on the bed and smiled at her two teammates: "I heard that the program team has already asked various companies to record cheering videos for the finals at the end of the month. I think we will be able to see Xiaotian and the others."

"I heard that Xiao Tian is very popular recently, and she has been recognized as a post-95 actress."

Kong Xueer said with particular excitement.

"Let's have a good get-together with her after we leave the competition."

"I have a feeling we'll have a ton of work to do after the game."

"Of course, I heard that Hunan TV has already contacted us about a collaboration."

"I'm so happy, Yuxin."

Kong Xueer turned to look at her old partner Liu Yuxin: "We've finally made it through, from the early days of Lady Bees to now, and we've finally gotten this opportunity to let everyone see us."

The two of them went from being nobody to where they are now, and only they know the hardships and grievances they endured along the way.

This is a genuine bond forged through shared hardships.

The two of them were having a very heartfelt conversation, while Xiao Jin, who joined later, clearly couldn't get into the conversation and could only stay silent.

She was also very happy to participate in the show and gained many fans who liked her.

Compared to Xue'er and Yu Xin, she is a very internally conflicted person.

Those two people mostly choose not to care about the negative comments and rumors online, or they might feel bad for a day or two.

But Xiao Jin will be upset for a long time.

People with highly sensitive personalities will find it very tiring to navigate this circle.

"In short, the three of us must hold on until the finals and debut as a group!"

Liu Yuxin boosted morale like a squad leader.

"it is good!"

……

As May drew to a close, filming for "The Legend of Canglan" officially wrapped up.

After filming wrapped, the company's artists recorded a video message of encouragement for the three trainees who were participating in a talent show.

The video quickly went viral after it was released.

#BaiChenEntertainmentGroupCheeringOnTrainees#
Upon clicking, it was discovered that the video's cover featured the company's founder, Lin Shaobai, who is also an undisputed top star in the entire entertainment industry.

Lin Shaobai: "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Shaobai. Xue Eryu, Xin Xiaojin are about to participate in the finals, and I hope everyone can give them their support."

Following them were several of the company's most popular actors, Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye, and Zhang Jingyi.

The three people took turns cheering for the trainee.

"Hello everyone, I am Tian Xiwei, an artist from Baichen Entertainment. Here I want to give a shout-out to Kong Xueer, Liu Yuxin, and Jin Zihan. I hope you can support them."

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Ye. I'm here to cheer on the three trainees from Baichen Entertainment."

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Jingyi, from Baichen Entertainment this year..."

Everyone who clicked on this trending topic couldn't help but marvel at the abundance of talent in Baichen Entertainment!
[My goodness, I've watched all those companies' promotional videos, and I feel like only Jiaxing can rival Bai Chen, right?]

[What are you talking about? Jiaxing is just a Yangmi Reba.]

Bai Chen is different; he has both Lin Shaobai and Tian Xiwei.

[To be honest, Yuehua's support team is pretty strong, isn't it? Even Wang Yibo came.]

[My goodness, if that's really the case, which celebrity in the entire entertainment industry has the same level of popularity as Lin Shaobai? Lin Shaobai alone could carry this whole event; it's just that their company has a few other relatively popular artists.]

So, is the finale of this show called a competition to see whose cheering squad is the strongest?

[How many votes did Lin Shaobai garner?]

I feel that the reason his three trainees received so many votes is largely because his fans extended their affection to them.

[Same as above. How could the votes be low with the support of the White Crane sisters?]
