Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 245, Part 244: The Vanished She was released, and Du Ling Wang Chu Ran became a huge hit (4K).

"That's all for now, I'm starting filming. Dudu, just remember what I told you, bye-bye."

Lin Shaobai hurriedly hung up the phone and rushed off to film.

Chen Duling stared at her phone, lost in thought.

"A new chapter in life?"

This was the first time anyone had ever said something like that to her.

"The Vanished She" is a work that Chen Duling values ​​highly, and she has put a lot of effort into this film.

Because I was criticized for my acting skills, I went abroad to study, and this is my first work after that training...

Hopefully, this will be a good start.

……

In July, "The Vanished" was officially released in major cinemas.

Chen Siqi and her friends made a special trip to see the first show.

Many fans chose the first screening, and after watching it, they quickly rated the movie and controlled the comments.

If the movie isn't good, everyone can post a picture of their ticket stubs and say, "I thought the movie was pretty good, so the haters shouldn't be so arrogant."

Surprisingly, in addition to fans, many casual viewers were also willing to come and see the movie early.

"I heard that Lin Shaobai is playing a bad man this time."

"Haha, anyway, the trailer looks pretty exciting, so I thought I'd check it out."

"I just love criticizing Lin Shaobai."

"What? Why are you acting so strangely?"

"I want to see how well Chen Duling acts. If she dares to ruin our Lin Shaobai movie, I'll tear her apart online!"

"Go ahead and criticize, the fans are coming at me, I'm running away first."

"Come on, Chen Duling doesn't have any fans."

A short while later, the movie started taking tickets.

Around lunchtime, people can see various reviews and fan-made content about the movie by opening Weibo or other short video platforms.

Friends and family, I've finished watching "Gone Girl"! It's super good!

[I would call this the best suspense film of the year. The plot twists are like a rollercoaster, keeping you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I was holding my breath the entire time. The ending was a bit unexpected, but I won't reveal the details.]

My advice is that the movie is good, especially for those who are easily swayed by romance; it's a cure for naive and clueless people.

After watching this movie, I immediately called my lovestruck best friend and told her to stop being so love-obsessed.

Lin Shaobai's portrayal of a madman is so compelling!

This movie has a powerful aftertaste. Lin Shaobai's acting is superb.

[I hereby declare Lin Shaobai my male god. His acting is superb.]

[Can we please stop asking fans? Let's get a real, unofficial review of whether it's good or not.]

[A passerby noticed, he's really good-looking, but I'm not a fan of Lin Shaobai!]

Chen Duling's acting is just... I don't dare watch it; I'm afraid she'll ruin the whole movie by herself.

[Families, go see it without worry! Chen Duling's performance in this movie is exceptional; I think her acting has undergone a complete transformation.]

Wow! Chen Duling acted so well this time! It seems this actress really put in the effort to learn.

Word-of-mouth spread online, and the film's box office revenue increased day by day.

It broke 2 billion yuan in box office revenue in its first week, with a peak daily box office of 400 million yuan, setting a record for domestic suspense films!
It received a 9.4 rating on major rating websites!
With a Douban rating of 7.5, it's considered a high-end rating for suspense films.

On short video platforms, topics related to movies have garnered over 230 billion views, resulting in millions of derivative videos.

It has trended on social media 200 times, and the main topic has garnered over 100 billion views.

Because the female lead in the movie was so obsessed with love, it sparked a discussion about the term "obsessed with love" among the public.

The movie is currently showing in theaters, and over the weekend, Chen Siqi and her roommates went to a nearby hot pot restaurant for dinner.

It has to be admitted that this is a good movie. So they felt that the money was well spent.

"Wow, this movie is really good! I heard the budget was only 100 million. I heard there's software predicting it will break 4 billion! That's an incredible achievement."

"Great! This means our family's Shaobai Films have accumulated even more achievements."

Chen Siqi smiled and casually stuffed a bite of beef into her mouth.

What is cumulative score?

My roommate obviously didn't understand.

"It's based on the cumulative box office performance of the movies he's starred in. Although our Shao Bai has reached the point where he can't rise any higher, he still needs some fame. His first movie, 'Cry Me a Sad River,' grossed 10 billion yuan, and his second movie, 'Better Days,' grossed 36 billion yuan. If this movie grosses 40 billion yuan as the app predicts, then his cumulative box office will have reached over 80 billion yuan!"

My roommate looked completely bewildered when he heard this.

Even though I don't understand it, it must sound really impressive.

Everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry is busy trying to rise to stardom, but Lin Shaobai really has no more stars to rise to.

As a top-tier celebrity, he has undoubtedly become a rare and highly popular figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, and has even achieved remarkable success in the film industry.

"There probably aren't many people as young as him who can have such high box office numbers," my roommate asked casually.

"Our Shao Bai is a 951, and in every aspect, he is the number one among the 95-born actors. Among the 90s actors, Liu Haoran's box office is not as high as his."

"Oh, I see. Liu Haoran's plane tickets are quite popular."

The group chatted and laughed, when they overheard the people at the next table also talking about the movie.

But they mainly talked about the actresses in the movie.

Upon hearing this, Chen Siqi couldn't help but say to her roommate, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, that Chen guy didn't drag Xiaolin down at all."

"You surnamed Chen, could you be referring to Chen Duling?"

"Yes. It's her. Her wooden acting is notorious; she almost always ruins every role she plays, so we're worried she'll ruin Xiaolin's drama. From the very beginning, when Xiaolin recommended her for the lead role, we fans disagreed. Chen Duling's acting is just too terrible!"

The roommates looked at each other, then nodded in unison.

"That's true. I watched one of her TV dramas before, and it was really outrageous. Sometimes I feel like she should just go back to being that campus goddess. Why did she have to enter the entertainment industry?"

"You're really naive. You make a lot of money in the entertainment industry."

"But we have to admit that Chen Duling's acting this time was very good. It made the audience feel very immersed in the story."

"Yes, yes, yes! Manman acted well, and Li Muzi acted very well too. Who is that actress?"

Hearing this, Chen Siqi smiled, feeling inexplicably proud: "Of course, she's also an actress from our Lin Shaobai company, Wang Churan. Isn't she beautiful?"

"She's also from Lin Shaobai's company! Wow, Baichen Entertainment is full of beauties!"

My roommate was shocked.

Lin Shaobai is not only doing well himself, but now the artists in his company are also doing very well.

They're all incredibly beautiful, and they also have great resources.

"No, right? Isn't Liu Yuxin from their company not good-looking?"

One of the roommates, who had been eating quietly, suddenly spoke up.

Little did they know that some people at the table were fans of Liu Yuxin.

"Say it again if you dare! Is Kong Xueer's surgically enhanced face really that beautiful? Her face is so rugged!"

The second season of "Youth With You" has ended, but I never expected that the two of them would still argue about this.

Outside a movie theater, people who had just finished watching the film were also having a very heated discussion about the female lead.

"Chen Duling's acting is actually pretty good."

"How come her acting skills have improved so much? Did she go through something?" "I guess it's because Lin Shaobai was giving her pointers. After all, Lin Shaobai's acting skills are undeniably good!"

"This drama should be called 'The Disappearance of Love Brains.' I think if the female lead, Li Muzi, had loved the male lead less, she wouldn't have been trapped underwater. It's just an underwater starry sky, is it really that serious? She even lost her life."

"Li Muzi and Chen Mai are both very good actors. I feel that Chen Duling will become popular this time."

"It's definitely going to be a hit."

Some girlfriends stared at their boyfriends after watching the movie without saying a word.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if you had insurance?"

"baffling……"

Whether online or offline, the discussion about this movie has been exceptionally intense.

Lin Shaobai has been running around doing various promotions with Chen Duling and Wang Churan lately.

Both actresses gained a lot along the way, and fans could often be heard expressing their love for them at the event.

The three of them were in one car on their way to the last promotional event.

Wang Churan and Chen Duling sat together, while Lin Shaobai sat alone in the last row.

Chen Duling kept scrolling through the Weibo comments on her phone.

She gained a lot of fans because of this drama, her acting skills were recognized, and her public image quickly improved.

Although she didn't become a top-tier female celebrity like Xiaotian, it's already quite an achievement to reverse public opinion.

Chen Duling is very content.

She also knew in her heart that it was unrealistic to become a popular star with just one movie.

Resources are indeed much better than before, and there are several more cosmetic endorsements.

Her fan base gradually surpassed 600 million.

Wang Churan also gained a lot. The image of Li Muzi as a pure and innocent girl has deeply impressed people, making her a familiar face and giving her a certain degree of fame.

Although he was labeled as a love-obsessed person.

She couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the comments praising her acting skills and beauty!

He happened to glance at Chen Duling and excitedly reached out to hug her arm!
Chen Duling was taken aback, feeling a little uncomfortable being held so forcefully.

She slowly put down her phone and looked at Wang Churan strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly hug me?"

"happy."

"Happy? Ah, I am very happy. Congratulations! The movie is doing so well, and everyone likes you."

Chen Duling praised Wang Churan from the bottom of her heart, a very gentle smile on her lips.

Wang Churan hesitated for 3 seconds as she looked at that face.

She could see through the pretense of ordinary people, and she could also see that Chen Duling was being genuinely sincere at this moment.

This guy is worth befriending!

"Sister Duling, you're so kind! I've become your fan!"

"puff……"

Lin Shaobai almost vomited the water he had just drunk when he heard this.

Seeing this, Wang Churan turned her head helplessly: "Sigh, even a charming woman like me can't escape this situation."

"What situation? What are you talking about out of the blue?" Lin Shaobai asked, puzzled.

"President Lin, you don't need to worry too much. You are still my number one idol, it's just that Sister Duling has become my second idol."

Wang Churan later realized that since they were all Lin Shaobai's people, they might as well get along well.

Besides, Sister Duling has a very gentle temperament, completely different from Xiaotian.

If Xiaotian can gradually get along with her, then Duling will be even more so.

"So I've become your idol."

Chen Duling still wore her sisterly, gentle smile.

She was much older than Lin Shaobai and Wang Churan, and naturally possessed a kind of elder's tolerance.

"Oh, it's because your personality is so likable that I feel like you can tolerate me no matter what I do."

After Wang Churan finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow.

Chen Duling's face remained calm, without much expression.

She seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Lin Shaobai behind her.

Lin Shaobai is currently texting his agent, Sister Li, on his phone.

The recent popularity of his movie has further increased his commercial value, leading to his successful endorsement of a luxury brand, Cartier, as its global brand ambassador.

Chen Duling lowered her eyelids and swallowed back the words in her heart.

When the three arrived at the cinema that was being advertised, Lin Shaobai waited in the lounge before the event officially began.

A short while later, Chen Duling came to the lounge alone and sat down next to Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai smiled when he saw her arrive, then continued looking at his phone.

Chen Duling sat gracefully, her mind in turmoil.

Then, as if making up her mind, she covered her mouth with her hand, leaned close to Lin Shaobai's ear, and whispered, "Wang Churan is your girlfriend, right?"

Lin Shaobai's heart clenched upon hearing this.

He turned to stare at Chen Duling, and the two looked at each other, the air in the lounge seemingly frozen.

Chen Duling's expression remained gentle and mild; she did not show the slightest hint of wanting to blame anyone.

Gradually, the surprise in Lin Shaobai's eyes turned into an expression that Chen Duling was still so gentle, as if she could tolerate all mistakes.

"You don't need to explain further."

After a few seconds, Chen Duling spoke softly.

She seemed to have been stripped of her emotional core, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

"I am your girlfriend, and she is your girlfriend."

Chen Duling remained close to Lin Shaobai's ear, speaking in a tone that only the two of them could hear, since they were the only ones in the room.

"Besides us, there must be others, right?"

"Um……"

"These are all my guesses. In fact, I knew about them as early as when the movie was being filmed."

"Then how did you..."

"Then why am I still willing to be with you? Because I really like you. I can't imagine life without you."

Chen Duling appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, her thumb was deeply embedded in her palm, indicating extreme nervousness.

God knows how many times she prepared those few words in private.

She didn't want to leave Lin Shaobai; no matter what, she didn't want to leave.

Even being one of them is acceptable.

Lin Shaobai is the only person who can make her emotions override her reason.

"I hope you won't abandon me either." Chen Duling held Lin Shaobai's hand, her beauty as striking as a white magnolia under the moonlight: "Is that alright?"

Sorry for posting so late.
