Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 244, Section 243: A Major Life Event Begins, Dudu's Internal Conflict

In June, "Sisters Who Make Waves" was launched online on time.

The show was incredibly popular, with its first episode garnering over 200 million views, setting a new record for the premiere of an online variety show.

Hunan TV is truly unparalleled in producing variety shows. While their television broadcasts may be just average, their variety show production is undeniably top-notch.

Within a week of its premiere, the show saw a 136% increase in new members, and its app downloads soared to the top of the entertainment charts!

Many people who don't use this app specifically downloaded it to watch this amazing variety show.

The number of views on related topics has even exceeded 100 billion.

It's at the level of everyone chasing trends.

Lin Shaobai, as the founder of Chengfeng, unexpectedly gained a lot of fans.

Meanwhile, the TV series "The Hidden Corner" also became a hit online upon its release.

Both the plot and the actors' performances are of a high standard.

Lin Shaobai went to film "Major Events in Life" as previously agreed.

Having studied the script beforehand, Lin Shaobai knew that the character Mo Sanmei was a character with a great contrast and a growth arc.

He appears roguish but is actually sensitive and has a unique understanding of life and death, and he shows a special tenderness towards Wenwen.

It is important to pay attention to the switching between his rough exterior and his delicate emotions.

Before filming began, Lin Shaobai met with the young actor who played Xiaowen, but unfortunately, they didn't have a deep understanding or bond at the time.

What's most impressive about this young actor is his pair of big, beautiful eyes.

His eyes are so big, even Teacher Ronghao is envious.

Lin Shaobai had his assistant, Xiao Zhao, buy a lot of things, including food and toys.

"Come here, Wenwen."

In order to get to know the little girl as soon as possible, Lin Shaobai specially squatted down and gave her this big pile of things.

"I can buy you anything you want in the future."

And he said this with absolute certainty.

"Ah... thank you, thank you, Teacher Lin."

At the other end of the set, Lin Shaobai saw Wu Qian.

She was watching the variety show "Sisters Who Make Waves" on her phone.

"Many female celebrities have become popular again thanks to this show."

Seeing the comments below the show, she couldn't help but sigh.

Just outrageous.

Many celebrities who were almost forgotten and about to retire have actually made a comeback thanks to this show.

Because Lin Shaobai appeared on the show, Wu Qian couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

Lin Shaobai seemed to sense the intense gaze and walked towards her: "What are you looking at?"

"Sisters Who Make Waves is the hottest variety show right now. You and Brother Xiaoming are the hosts on it."

"Correct."

Are these female celebrities all a bit too intimidating?

"Ok?"

“Oh no, I saw them all saying this is a troublemaking grandma.” Wu Qian quickly explained, “The show is different from the talent shows I’ve watched before. The sisters in it are all established stars.”

"It's not as exaggerated as what's said online. There was no mistreatment of the staff. When I was recording this show, I felt that they were all seriously focusing on singing and dancing, and they were so tired that they had to take nitroglycerin pills. They didn't have time to take advantage of their status to bully the staff. Besides, if they were really popular, they wouldn't have gone on this show."

"Oh……"

Wu Qian lowered her head again and sighed softly.

During her collaboration with Lin Shaobai, she was also moved by his acting skills.

It wasn't until we actually collaborated that I truly understood that some people are just meant to be famous!
This person has a large following, even reaching the peak of popularity, yet remains meticulous in their work.

No wonder so many people became his fans. For the rest of the hot summer, Lin Shaobai was filming the movie "Major Events in Life".

During that time, I filmed some promotional videos for "The Vanished She" with Dudu and Wang Churan.

Once the movie is released, the official team will release these combined videos one by one to promote the film and increase its popularity.

In the days leading up to the release, Lin Shaobai's fans began promoting the film on various platforms.

Whenever Lin Shaobai is mentioned, fans flood the comments section to promote their idol's movie.

Whether it's good or bad, fans can make the most of this traffic.

With Lin Shaobai's star power, the film's pre-sale box office exceeded 7 million yuan even before its release.

These pre-sale box office figures are enough to prove that Lin Shaobai has a real ability to carry a drama.

Without a doubt, he is currently the most popular top celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry!

Chen Duling, who also starred in the film, was so nervous that she couldn't sleep for several nights.

Even though I've been drinking calming tea every day, I still can't hide my excitement.

Because she kept starring in flops, her public image plummeted, and she was ridiculed for having no fans online.

This is a chance to turn things around.

The trailer received rave reviews online when it was first released.

This trailer is really exciting!

Wow, Lin Shaobai really broke through in the trailer, his face was all twitched like that.

The movie quality was good; I especially enjoy watching suspense movies these days—they're very exciting.

[On a side note, Wen Yongshan is so beautiful!]

In addition to everyone's expectations, there were also some negative comments about the female lead.

The only thing I can't accept is why Chen Duling is the female lead? Everyone knows her acting is terrible.

[Haha, the director must be crazy to cast Chen Duling as the female lead. With such a great production team, and Lin Shaobai involved, casting just one female lead will absolutely ruin this movie.]

[Chen Duling, after many years in the industry, still only has a score of 600+ on the college entrance exam as her representative work.]

Actually, her left ear is alright; there's no need to say that.

[The story of "Left Ear" is from 800 years ago; people have to look forward. Even heroes don't dwell on past glories. Besides, her acting in "Left Ear" wasn't very good.]

But I thought she acted quite well in the trailer.

What can you glean from a trailer? Don't be fooled by this trailer!

[Alright, shut up, fans, stop talking. It's common knowledge that your idol's acting is terrible.]

[It's precisely because of her terrible acting skills that every film she's in has flopped and she's been constantly criticized. I don't know why she managed to land such a good script this time.]

[This time, it was Lin Shaobai who recommended it; Lin Shaobai is dragging things out again.]

But Chen Duling isn't with Lin Shaobai's company...

Chen Duling felt a little sad after seeing these comments.

She opened her phone's contacts and couldn't resist calling Lin Shaobai.

"Shaobai..."

"Dudu, what's wrong?"

"..."

Chen Duling fell silent.

"Okay, let me guess. You must have seen the comments people are making about you online, and that's causing some internal conflict, isn't it?"

"Ah."

"Don't be too sad. People have such a strong preconceived notion about you. It's okay, everything will be new after this movie comes out. Trust me."
