Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 270, page 269: "You Are My Glory" airs, Wang Churan becomes famous (6K)

"I never expected Chen Dudu to actually go there. That's not very realistic."

Wang Churan knows that everyone has probably seen this trending topic, but only Chen Dudu went to see Lin Shaobai in person.

Famous actress Tian Daxia was also very confused.

Seeing this outrageous trending topic right before bed is just asking for trouble.

But after a moment of annoyance, Tian Xi felt it was unnecessary.

Yes, but now, in what capacity do we care about this?

"Let them watch. It's just that it's their class, not that they went to the hotel alone."

"So what if we go to a hotel?"

"She's already identified as Lin Shaobai's girlfriend. Since she's his girlfriend, it's normal for her to go to a hotel with him."

"Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

Tian Xiwei collapsed onto the soft bed. She tried to cover her head with the blanket, pretending to block out all outside information, but after a while, she almost suffocated herself.

He sheepishly poked his head out and took a deep breath.

Some strange quotes inexplicably popped into my head.

Lin Shaobai is a stingy person.

Never mind, may Lin Shaobai live to be a hundred.

"What the hell?"

……

Liu Haocun, who was lying in his dorm looking at his phone, also saw this trending topic.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she sensed something was amiss.

"Teacher Chen Dudu?"

Liu Haocun suddenly remembered what her friend had told her before.

Those gossip and entertainment rumors usually don't focus on Lin Shaobai's love life with just one girl.

Some marketing accounts say that he and Tian Xiwei broke up and got back together 800 times, but they are still together.

Some say that he and Chen Dudu fell in love during the filming of the TV series "Changfengdu" and had a super sweet romance, choosing to keep their relationship a secret in order to win over fans.

Some say that she had feelings for Zhou Ye back in college, and that their relationship deepened as they filmed several dramas together, eventually leading to them becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

Anyway, many of them are described in a very mysterious way.

However, they have never been photographed living together in public, kissing, holding hands, hugging, etc.

These kinds of entertainment gossip rumors are probably a mix of truth and falsehood.

Liu Haocun thought that Lin Shaobai was quite charming.

He can write songs, sings well, acts okay, is handsome, and has a great physique, so it's normal that a lot of women in the entertainment industry like him.

Of all these rumors, maybe one of them is true.

Liu Haocun sat up in bed again and touched his chin.

The caution was like that of someone pondering a math problem.

"There must be at least one truth among these gossip stories, right? Or is it possible that they're looking for someone outside the entertainment industry?"

"Who exactly is she dating?"

"Cunzi".

"what?"

Perhaps my voice was a bit too loud, which annoyed my roommate in the next bed.

"Keep your voice down. What are you talking about love so late at night?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, just watching TV, haha."

Liu Haocun gave an awkward laugh.

……

……

In May 2021, the drama "You Are My Glory," starring Lin Shaobai and Wang Churan, was officially launched on the Tencent Video app.

To be honest, because Xiao Wang had a bad reputation before, many people were criticizing this drama when it was first scheduled to air.

[The actress who rolls her eyes is actually playing Qiao Jingjing?! What kind of eye did the casting director have?!]

[My goodness, how could someone like this even get a lead role? Young Master Lin is just wasting his time promoting him.]

[I'm not saying this to be mean, but couldn't Baichen Entertainment have given such a good role to another actress? Couldn't they have given it to Xiaotian, their best actress? Why did they have to give it to "Sister White Eyes"? Did they think she hadn't been criticized enough already?]

Who the hell chose Wang Churan to play my goddess? Was the casting director blind?

[Wang Churan and Qiao Jingjing look nothing alike. They're completely unrelated.]

[Well, although she rolls her eyes a lot and her character isn't great, she's still quite pretty, and actually looks a little like a glamorous female celebrity. Let's not be too harsh on her.]

[The person upstairs can tell a person's fandom affiliation at a glance.]

[Seriously, I always love the actresses Lin Shaobai pairs with. Zhou Ye, Tian Xiwei, Chen Duling, Zhang Jingyi—they're all beautiful, young, and talented. How come this time it's this eye-rolling girl?]

[Book fans, are you all okay? I'm about to cry my eyes out! Why did they cast her as my goddess, Qiao Jingjing?!]

【Oh, Lin Shaobai, I'm sorry. Although I really like you, I just can't stand seeing that eye-rolling sister.】

In short, the internet is flooded with insults.

Of course, all of Lin Shaobai's fans are supporting him.

No matter what, it's a drama starring Lin Shaobai as the male lead, with Lin Shaobai himself carrying the weight of the show.

Because of the female lead, the start of this drama was indeed not as good as the previous dramas starring Lin Shaobai.

On the first day of its premiere, many people didn't watch it because of the female lead, so its popularity could only be considered a "gatekeeper" for hit dramas.

However, it gained immense popularity after only two days of airing.

It has achieved widespread popularity, positive reviews, and commercial value, becoming an absolute sensation!

Every day, as soon as a new episode is released, it dominates the top 10 trending topics, and various fan-made videos of the male and female leads appear on major short video platforms, with the number of views even exceeding 10 billion!
Of course, the main focus is on the looks of the male and female leads.

Lin Shaobai has reached a new level of handsomeness in this drama.

It received a 7.0 rating on Douban, placing it in the upper-middle tier of current romance dramas.

The drama "You Are My Glory" itself was a collaboration with the popular mobile game Honor of Kings, and the game's daily active users also increased during the drama's broadcast.

Although Wang Churan was initially criticized to the point of wanting to jump into a ditch, she later successfully turned the tables with her stunning image as the superstar Qiao Jingjing and her superb acting skills!

She was criticized countless times before; if you scroll through 10 comments on Weibo, all 10 comments are saying she's unworthy of playing Qiao Jingjing.

It was entirely thanks to her acting skills that she turned public opinion around.

A true comeback against all odds.

Just like many celebrities who are avoided by people because they look like rats in dramas.

As a result, because the TV series had an engaging plot and the actresses in the scenes were beautiful, people gradually got used to watching it just to see the story itself!

After getting used to him, I realized he wasn't actually that bad-looking.

Before the broadcast, the internet was overwhelmingly negative, but after the broadcast, the response changed to 80% praise and 20% skepticism.

I admit I raised my voice a bit too much to Wang Churan before; that was my fault.

[When have I ever had any rift with Chu Chu!]

[It was I who insisted on liking her! It was I who insisted on watching her dramas! Why don't you blame me?]

[I used to criticize her for not being qualified to play Qiao Jingjing, feeling that her acting wasn't very good, and I was worried that she would roll her eyes while acting. But later I found out that she actually acted quite well.]

Wow! Wang Churan's public image has improved; as a long-time fan, I'm truly touched.

[Just a passerby's comment: She's really beautiful as the character Qiao Jingjing; I'm completely captivated.]

[She acted really well, and her chemistry with Lin Shaobai was great. By the way, don't they have a couple name?]

[It seems they're called Prince Charming. Wang Churan had previously said that Lin Shaobai best fits the image of Prince Charming, so everyone nicknamed them that.]

They're such a perfect match!

[Wang Churan plays a top female celebrity without any awkwardness; I previously thought she couldn't possibly play that role. After all, isn't she more famous for her innocent, pure image?]

[Um, after reading the comments section, I feel something's off. Do I have an extra memory compared to everyone else?]

If you have an extra piece of memory, please go to the hospital to have your brain checked. Don't make a fool of yourself here.

[I was just saying... speechless. I also wondered how public opinion could change so quickly. The internet is truly terrifying.]

As the plot unfolds, this drama has become a phenomenal hit.

With a popularity score of 3, it entered Tencent's "Most Popular" club.

Wang Churan gained 500 million fans thanks to her role as the glamorous female celebrity Qiao Jingjing in this drama!
And he suddenly got 5 more commercial endorsements!
There are four brand ambassadors and one brand spokesperson.

The number of fans also increased rapidly, and there were even more fans of the ship.

In May and June, you can see people discussing TV dramas everywhere.

A university

The drama series that girls are currently watching has become "You Are My Glory."

"Wow, have you guys watched 'You Are My Glory'? Lin Shaobai's portrayal of Yu Tu is just too handsome."

"Hahaha! Of course I watched it! How could I not watch such a good show? My younger brother watched it too, and after watching it, he immediately decided to apply for aerospace engineering."

"That's true. Fortunately, your brother is focused on studying. I was worried that he would play games after watching this show."

"This name is also quite nice. Jade Rabbit is very cute."

"Lin Shaobai delivered a solid performance, but Wang Churan's performance was truly surprising. She acted really well!"

"Although I disliked her before because of what happened with Oda, she has changed since then, and the two of them have a good relationship."

"That's true. Anyway, I have no problems with her."

The girls in the dormitory all started using references to this show.

You could hear some female college students openly playing the theme song of "You Are My Glory" in the corridor.

"This is the first time I've realized that Lin Shaobai and this eye-rolling girl are actually quite a good match."

Even on the way back to the dormitory in the hallway, everyone would discuss this show.

They're never idle.

"Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter. He even got Wang Churan to roll her eyes at him. She's a popular female celebrity now."

"Just because one drama is popular doesn't mean you're a top star. Well, you can only say you've gained some popularity. We shouldn't overhype you."

"It's definitely become popular; this drama is currently the most popular. The engineer and female celebrity pairing is quite novel. I only watch Lin Shaobai in this drama, and as for this 'eye-roller,' I can only say that I've gone from disliking her to being indifferent to her. I won't join netizens in criticizing her anymore."

In a university cafeteria
A guy and his girlfriend were having dinner together. While the girl was eating, she would take out her phone to watch TV series. The guy glanced at it and found that the TV series actually featured the mobile game Honor of Kings!

They even learned that the game was closely connected to the TV series.

Since that's the case, shouldn't we take a look?

The boy glanced further and saw that the girl diagonally opposite him was also watching the show on her phone, eating as she watched.

"This show is really popular...it feels like everyone is watching it."

The locations where these two people took photos have become popular travel spots for many people.

Everyone knows this show is a hit, so how could I not know?

Wang Churan seems to want every dog ​​on the street to know that she played Qiao Jingjing, and she has become incredibly popular thanks to this role!
To be honest, she certainly can't reach the level of Zhou Yetian Xiwei, but she's already on par with Xiao Zhang.

Ms. Wang is a very confident person. She feels that no female celebrity has been more popular than her during this period!

So what about Zhou Yetian Xiwei?

How about it?
"Adding Zhou Ye to the list is practically raising her profile."

Even when attending a fashion gala that month, Xiao Wang couldn't help but whisper.

It's most likely a joke; she doesn't actually hate them.

Wang Churan was the first celebrity officially announced at this fashion gala, and the number of likes and comments was quite impressive.

Besides her, Tian Xiwei from Baichen Entertainment also attended this fashion gala.

This was the first time Ms. Wang had met Master Tian since she became famous.

Upon hearing that Master Tian had finished walking the red carpet, she quickly lifted her skirt and waited arrogantly for Xiao Tian to come to the backstage.

"Hi! Tian Xiwei! Miss Tian Xiwei?" When Tian Daxia finally arrived backstage, Wang Churan was so excited that she seemed like a completely different person.

Tian Xiwei was completely stunned.

What's going on? That excited look on his face is creepy.

Wang Churan jogged over, took Xiaotian's hand, and led her inside.

Once everyone was completely alone, Wang Churan looked at Xiaotian's face and asked, "Have you been watching the trending topics lately?"

Tian Xiwei's lips twitched slightly.

Now I finally understand why Ms. Wang is acting so strangely.
So all they did was brag about how popular their TV series is!
"I'm sorry, our internet is down. I had no idea."

Tian Xiwei uttered these words and turned to leave.

"Hey! Tian Xiwei! Stop right there!"

Wang Churan couldn't let her leave, so she quickly grabbed her hand.

"Are you faking it? Aren't you supposed to be a 5G surfer?! You didn't know how popular the TV series I starred in was? You didn't know how popular my character Qiao Jingjing was? You didn't know I was trending on Weibo 800 times a day?"

"There are only 50 trending topics in total, sis."

"Don't worry about the details, I'm just giving an example."

"……have no idea!"

Tian Xiwei is quite arrogant!
You insist on telling me how popular you are, but I'm just going to deny it!

Wow, she's way more famous than you now!

"You have such a loud voice!"

"I am not kidding."

"I'm serious, you have bad breath."

"what?!"

Wang Churan really thought she had bad breath, so she quickly covered her mouth.

Ordinary people care a great deal about their image, let alone big stars.

After saying that, Tian Xiwei tried her best to suppress her laughter, but she couldn't hold it in for more than a few seconds.

"Don't lie to me, is it true or false?"

Wang Churan blinked her big eyes, covered her mouth, and asked Tian Daxia earnestly.

For a fleeting moment, Tian Xiwei found Ms. Wang in front of her to be somewhat adorable.

They believed whatever they were told.

"Okay, actually I'm a swindler—"

"Hurry up and tell Chuchu!"

"Okay, it's true."

"Ah!" Wang Churan screamed loudly a second ago, then returned to normal: "I know you're lying to me. I also know you saw the trending topics and know how popular I am lately."

"It wasn't that popular, not even as popular as my Little Orchid back then."

Tian Xi said with a smile.

Wang Churan sneered, then pointed at Tian Daxia's face, looking as if she knew everything about her: "I understand, you must be jealous. Super jealous, right? Jealous that Qiao Jingjing is so popular. You just don't want to admit it. Women are such hypocritical creatures."

Tian Xiwei: "What am I jealous of? Am I jealous that you were ridiculed by the whole internet for rolling your eyes?"

"Hey! We agreed not to talk about this!"

"Who said that to you? Or are you jealous that you only have this one breakout role and this one hit drama? You should say such things to someone of your own caliber, not to me, Tian Xiwei."

I, Tian Xiwei, have three hit dramas under my belt and endorsements from top luxury brands. How can a newly popular star like you compare?!
Wang Churan was also left speechless by the rebuttal.

Tian Xiwei looked like a victor.

Thinking that Wang Churan had become a little popular and couldn't distinguish between the big and small kings, she actually dared to come to his side.

Since they dared to provoke us, they must bear the risks.

Seeing that they were about to enter the venue, Tian Xiwei decided not to argue with Ms. Wang any longer.

Just a second before she left, she suddenly heard Wang Churan whisper, "So what? She still got dumped by Lin Shaobai."

"What?!" Tian Xiwei's anger flared up instantly!

He turned around quickly and came to Ms. Wang aggressively.

The two are about the same height. If you had to choose one over the other, Ms. Wang is slightly taller than Xiao Tian.

However, he was far less imposing than Oda.

Ms. Wang was so frightened by Xiaotian's sudden charge that she even tried to back away.

She's someone who loves to talk big, but when it comes to real-world situations, she becomes incredibly timid.

If we weren't backstage at a fashion gala, I almost would have yelled, "Help! A popular actress is going to hit me!"

"I didn't say anything, did you hear me wrong?" Wang Churan admitted her mistake in a second.

Tian Xiwei still trusted her ears more.

"I'm telling you, you surnamed Wang, you want to—"

Just as Tian Xiwei was about to vent her anger, two workers carrying things came from a distance.

The four people stood in the corridor, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Tian Xiwei quickly reverted to her usual celebrity demeanor, pretending that nothing had happened.

She wanted to say that it wasn't that she was dumped; it was that Master Tian wasn't dumped.

"Teacher Tian, ​​we're ready to go in."

Soon, some more staff members arrived and urged Xiaotian to go inside quickly.

Right now, work is definitely more important. I'll save my bickering with Wang Churan for when I have some free time.

Wang Churan followed closely behind and entered the venue.

The first row of this fashion gala was occupied by the organizers, while the second row onwards was occupied by top-tier celebrities, including Xiao Tian and Yang Mi.

Wang Churan was assigned to the third row.

Previously, she would not have been invited, and even if she was, she would have been placed in the last few rows, far below the 18th tier of fame.

This time, the upgrade was obvious.

Wang Churan now tries to lift her chin when she walks, because once someone becomes famous, they need to have that kind of aura.

The entertainment industry changes so quickly, so you have to shine while you're still popular!
Otherwise, it would be a huge loss.

"Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang, this way."

"Teacher Wang, watch out for the steps."

Even the staff members watching from a distance exclaimed, "It's so good to be famous!"

Who cared about her before?

After Qiao Jingjing became famous, she did indeed become the focus of attention.

The most attractive female celebrities are those who are currently at the peak of their popularity.

Wang Churan is sitting next to actress Bai Lu.

Bai Lu has become quite well-known this year, and the TV series "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu," starring her, will be released soon.

The two nodded to each other in a friendly manner after they met.

Currently, Xiao Wang is more popular than her, after all, she is the female lead in a hit drama.

"I've been watching 'You Are My Glory,' which you starred in recently, and it's really great. When there aren't any new episodes, I rewatch the ones I've already seen."

Bai Lu said with a slight smile.

Wang Churan: "Thank you for your support."

Bai Lu: "I think this drama is very good, and Teacher Lin's acting is also very good."

"Oh...so what have you been up to lately?"

"I haven't done anything, I've just been staying at home."

Bai Lu forced a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Wang didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, Bai Lu quickly spoke up, "Anyway! Hahaha! Congratulations, you're really popular lately!"

"Haha!" Wang Churan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Compared to Tian Xi's coy and unwilling-to-admit-the-fact manner, Bai Lu was much more honest.

That's right, this is exactly how a normal person should be!

Tian Xiwei's behavior was clearly abnormal, and it was probably jealousy!
She's jealous because she hasn't had any good shows lately!
From Wang Churan's perspective, she could see Xiao Tian sitting at the very front.

Wang Churan thought to herself that one day she would sit in the front row and become a top-tier celebrity.

It absolutely cannot be a flash in the pan.

As Wang Churan was about to leave after the fashion extravaganza, she encountered fans who had been patiently waiting at the door.

These girls came all the way here just to catch a glimpse of Wang Churan.

Wang Churan's popularity plummeted after she was criticized by many for rolling her eyes, but now she cherishes her hard-won goodwill, not to mention her die-hard fans.

He not only signed autographs for these girls, but also agreed to take a group photo with them.

On the way back, Ms. Wang was still recalling the way everyone looked at her when she entered the ceremony.

Some of the female celebrities looked at her with a mixture of envy and jealousy, while the staff at the venue showed her rare respect and admiration.

This was a look I had never experienced before, and the treatment I received was unprecedented.

Wang Churan felt incredibly happy!
If time could go back to the night she successfully cast him, she would definitely hug Lin Shaobai and kiss him 280 times!
No wonder everyone says Lin Shaobai is a god of wealth.

Even just getting close to him can improve one's fortune and career.

A whole bunch of female celebrities in the industry are lining up to film with Lin Shaobai. Look, the result of the filming and broadcasting is already obvious.

Lin Shaobai has an exceptional eye for talent; every script he reads becomes a hit. Plus, he's already a top star, so even a small role in his drama, just to show his face, is a good opportunity.

"Wow, it turns out that when you become famous, even the air tastes sweet."

Wang Churan said to her assistant beside her.

Her assistant is definitely loyal to her, but even he can't stand her current dazed and confused state!
Can't our own artists use their faces properly?

What's the point of doing all this every day?

You still need to keep a low profile, otherwise you might die a violent death.

Think about how many celebrities became arrogant after becoming famous, and then fell from grace.

"Don't worry, you'll all live the high life with me from now on. Chu Chu will definitely help you make a lot of money," Wang Chu Ran said with exceptional confidence.

The assistant could only clap and nod beside him.

"Sigh, actually, I think I, Qiao Jingjing, acted exceptionally well when I watched TV myself. I can only say their judgment was correct." Wang Churan slightly affectedly smoothed her bangs. "Mainly, it's because I'm pretty. Otherwise, so many people would become my fans because of my looks. Who can blame me for being naturally beautiful?"

"cough."

"Driver, did you cough just now?"

"No...no."

Wang Churan became a sensation with her TV drama, while Zhou Ye, another actress from Baichen Entertainment, gained even more popularity with her appearance on the variety show "Escape Room".

After Zhou Ye joined the company, it was the variety shows that made her popularity soar.

Her outstanding performances on variety shows can improve her public image and broaden her popularity, but to truly rise to stardom and secure high-end luxury endorsements, she still needs to rely on acting.

Zhou Ye was terrified during the show "Escape Room," and at times he was so scared that he knelt on the ground!

She would kneel on the ground, and sometimes, when she was so frightened that she lost consciousness, she would cling to Yang Mi's leg.

Some netizens even started shipping the two of them as a couple.

After the videos of people being so scared that they knelt on the ground went viral, netizens said that they were the most beautiful sight in "Escape Room".

#Zhou Ye was so scared he knelt down#

#Zhou Ye likes Yang Mi's thighs#
#Zhou Ye is too timid#

#Zhou Ye clings to Yang Mi's leg#
These bizarre terms quickly became trending topics, making Zhouye Society even more miserable!
Zhou Ye: "What the hell?!"
