Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 277, Section 276: "Little Ignite" Airs, Zhang Jingyi Becomes Popular Again (4K)

"Why did you only call her?!"

"Do you think I have no place in your heart at all?!"

"All these years of love have ultimately been misplaced."

"Is this how cruel you are to me now? So, you really do stop loving me after a while, don't you?"

"I don't think it needs to come to this point between us."

"I--"

Wang Churan suddenly paused, then blinked her big eyes and looked at Xiao Zhang, who had been standing next to her as a background figure, with a somewhat confused expression.

Zhang Jingyi wanted to take the phone back countless times while she was speaking.

However, due to his personality, he could only stand still and wait patiently.

If it were on Onoko or Oda, they would have snatched the phone away long ago.

Why should someone else take my phone? And not only that, they're keeping it and refusing to return it!

What kind of system?

Zhang Jingyi has a slightly timid personality, so she can only stay quietly.

Seeing Wang Churan's somewhat confused expression, she finally spoke, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"The call ended."

Zhang Jingyi sighed, "It's probably because you talk too much."

"Am I talkative? Have you ever met anyone who talks a lot?"

"Anyway, you're probably the one who talks the most when you're around me, yeah, I can guarantee that."

"There's no need to be so serious about me talking too much. Okay, here's your phone."

Zhang Jingyi picked up her phone again and placed it against her chest, feeling a strange sense of pleasure at having regained what she had lost.

Not long after, the phone rang again; it was Lin Shaobai calling once more.

"Hey?"

"Okay, I need to tell you something serious. A period drama has approached you to play the female lead. I've already talked to your agent about the details of 'Southward and Northward,' and she will take you to the audition."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Zhang Jingyi held her phone and spoke very obediently.

It doesn't matter if you don't read the script, because it was Lin Shaobai who made the choice. Always believe in Lin Shaobai and believe in him unconditionally.

During their conversation this time, Wang Churan didn't act abstractly or erratically like before. She first straightened her skirt and then started touching her hair.

They seem indifferent on the surface, but they're actually incredibly jealous.

However, it sounds like a script has been offered to us.

Wang Churan was still somewhat dissatisfied.

Why not call her? Why not find her a role?
No matter what, her acting skills and appearance are quite good among actors born in the 95s.

Damn it, I shouldn't have agreed to come hiking.

Not only am I exhausted, but I also have to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Although this dog food isn't very sweet, it's still dog food...

Or is it possible that it was intentional?
Wang Churan turned to the side and secretly glanced at Zhang Jingyi standing next to her.

Ms. Wang wondered if they had deliberately arranged to go hiking, and then waited until they reached the top of the mountain before having Lin Shaobai call, just to show off their affection!
Is it really that boring? How old are you to be doing this?! I thought you were a child.

Never mind, appearances can be deceiving.

Zhang Jingyi, a woman who doesn't seem to need to scheme or engage in palace intrigue, actually loves to do these things behind the scenes!

Wang Churan clenched her fists slightly. Even though there was no evidence, it seemed like she had already come up with an answer.

That's right, today's hike was a setup!

Zhang Jingyi did it on purpose!

This was all to prove that she had a very good relationship with Lin Shaobai, who had specially found her a role!

Thinking of this, Wang Churan felt as if 50 jars of vinegar had been overturned in her heart at the same time.

It seemed as if a sour smell emanated from him.

Just as Zhang Jingyi was about to hang up, she grabbed the phone without a word and put it to her ear: "Hello?"

Zhang Jingyi was startled by this sudden movement.

Why are they stealing my phone again?

Why does she keep grabbing my phone?!
"Chu Ran? What's wrong?"

"I... am a little sad!"

Wang Churan spoke her mind very directly.

Lin Shaobai hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said softly, "Sad? What's wrong?"

His tone suddenly became very doting, catching Ms. Wang off guard.

One second they might be jealous, but the last three words have calmed them down.

Sigh, even she herself thinks she's too easy to coax.

Perhaps it's because she really likes Lin Shaobai too much.

"If it's about the TV series, then let me explain. In every respect, Zhang Jingyi is more suitable for the female lead in this period drama. Even if someone doesn't fit the role, it won't have a good effect. In fact, they'll be criticized by everyone."

"..."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you know if a suitable role comes up. By the way, have you been upset or sad lately because of what happened online?"

"Ok?"

Wang Churan didn't expect Lin Shaobai to suddenly bring this up.

"That's no longer the case. Her public image is pretty good now, thanks to the significant boost from the character Qiao Jingjing. Speaking of Qiao Jingjing... I still have to thank you."

"I'm happy to see you doing better and better."

"Well!"

Wang Churan blushed.

She's having a great time chatting now, and it's Zhang's turn to be jealous.

The most crucial question is: why are you holding your own phone in the first place?

Seeing that Ms. Wang was getting happier and happier, Xiao Zhang finally couldn't help herself and reached out to tap Wang Churan's shoulder: "Can you give me back my phone?"

Isn't this a bit too civilized for a love rival?
I shouldn't have said, "Stop fucking talking! If you want to talk, take your own phone!"

"Oh, oh, okay, okay!"

In fact, Wang Churan simply didn't notice this point; all she could think about was talking to Lin Shaobai.

Cell phones are no longer important; they're just a tool for making calls.

She hung up the phone and handed it to Xiao Zhang with both hands.

Zhang Jingyi didn't say anything more, and the two of them felt awkward for a few seconds after the phone was installed.

Wang Churan walked forward contentedly, until she reached an open space and gazed into the distance.

A gentle breeze blew through her long hair, and Zhang Jingyi quickly walked over as well.

"Oh, I heard from Kobayashi that you're going to act in a period drama. Actually, I'd really like to try acting in a period drama too."

"This is my first time acting in a period drama, and I'm so happy that he trusts me so much." "Actually, Xiao Lin trusts me quite a bit too. Otherwise, why would he help me land the role of Qiao Jingjing when I had nothing? It's also thanks to the role of Qiao Jingjing that my acting career has made a leap forward. I feel like I love him even more now."

Wang Churan still looked infatuated, and then said something that shocked everyone.

"I really love him so much. If Lin Shaobai's dog were lost, I would take its place."

Zhang Jingyi's mouth dropped open when she heard this.

She now wishes she could stuff cotton balls into her ears.

I can't believe what nonsense I just heard!

Wang Churan is a bit of a pervert!

……

……

Afterwards, Zhang Jingyi, under the guidance of her agent, auditioned for the role of Ma Yan, the female lead in "North and South".

I tried it once and it passed without any major problems.

It's already been finalized, and filming is scheduled for the end of the year.

"North and South" is a big-budget production, featuring many veteran actors, and is directed by Zheng Xiaolong.

Zhang Jingyi sometimes wondered what she had done in her past life to be able to meet Lin Shaobai at the start of the school year in this life.

Their relationship grew closer and closer, and it was as if their lives had changed from that moment on.

If not, how could her career in the entertainment industry have been so smooth?

Having been exposed to so many good scripts, he has already created his own representative works at a young age.

Many actors have acted for over a decade without leaving a lasting impression on the audience with any memorable roles.

The time has come in April.

As the weather gets colder, "Ignite Me, Warm You," starring Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi, was officially released.

This situation is somewhat similar to the period light comedy "Qingqing's Daily Life" that was released that winter.

Many people experienced sweet love through TV dramas during this cold winter.

The drama "Ignite Me, Warm You" had more than a dozen trending topics on the first day of its premiere.

#IgniteMeWarmYourLivestream#
#Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi reunite#
#Zhang Jingyi Zhu Yun#
#Lin Shao Platinum Blonde#

#Lin Shaobai Li Xun#

……

It has to be admitted that Lin Shaobai has a huge fan base, and this is the first time he has dyed his hair blonde in a drama.

Many people want to see what the legendary "man who stepped out of a comic book" looks like.
I saw it trending on social media and wanted to watch the first episode. After watching one episode, I couldn't help but watch the second, and then I kept watching one episode after another.

In a female dormitory at a university, a week after the TV series aired.

After finishing class and buying lunch, everyone took out their phones to find a TV to watch.

"Wow, have you guys watched 'Ignite Me, Warm You'? The first time I saw the male lead, he had blond hair."

"Hahaha! Don't use such misleading language, okay? Her name is clearly Jinfeng (Golden Hair), not Huangmao (Yellow Hair). It's not like some kind of unconventional love story."

"Lin Shaobai is so handsome in this movie. Wow, he's played so many roles before, but I think this character is really cool."

"He's so handsome, how can he be such a good actor?"

"I've only watched three episodes, but his chemistry with Zhang Jingyi is amazing. I think they're more compatible than his previous on-screen couples."

"This character's personality is quite rare. I haven't seen any other contemporary idol dramas with such a stubborn personality. He's just right to be with a princess."

"I used to only watch suspense dramas, but seeing you guys watching them in the dorm every day, I couldn't help but watch two episodes myself, and then I became obsessed."

"This show is the hottest right now."

"Isn't that normal? Whenever Lin Shaobai has a drama airing, it always tops the TV drama popularity charts. He really knows how to pick scripts."

In a hot pot restaurant in a northeastern city.

"Hey, have you watched that TV series 'Ignite Me, Warm You' lately? Lin Shaobai, played by Zhang Jingyi, is so cool, and the plot is really good."

"She absolutely has to die! Zhang Jingyi's acting is really good. I think calling her a princess is quite fitting. Those aloof eyes are beautiful!"

"She and Lin Shaobai are a perfect match!"

"Zhang Jingyi is perfect for this stubborn character; she has a unique charm to watch."

"Absolutely! Among young actresses these days, I like Zhang Jingyi the most! Although she's not as popular as Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, I still like her!"

"Come on, let's order something first, and chat while we eat."

As time went on, online discussions about the show grew increasingly heated.

Famous lines from the TV series also trended on social media.

#You worry, I'll take care of everything#
#I am your one and only servant#
#Choose me, I will never betray you#

Clicking on the trending topics will show comments from netizens all over the country.

[Oh my god, this modern romance drama is absolutely amazing! My favorite show used to be "You Are My Glory"! I've already switched my affections so quickly.]

Are there any other ladies like me watching "Little Ignite" in bed on a cold winter's day? It feels so cozy watching TV in the warm room while it's freezing outside.

[Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi's acting was superb, conveying a strong sense of destiny. Both the male and female leads had flaws before meeting each other, but after mutual redemption, they began to shine. Their acting was commendable, their chemistry was strong, and the cinematography and storytelling were both excellent, making it truly a great drama.]

At my age, I don't really like watching romance dramas or idol dramas. Everyone around me recommended them, so I watched one out of curiosity, and now I'm hooked.

[I was completely engrossed after watching it; Lin Shaobai's acting was superb, he brought Li Xun to life.]

Zhang Jingyi's acting was also exceptional. I'll always remember her famous line: "A princess, first and foremost, must have a pair of aloof eyes!"

This winter, only Zhang Jingyi deserves to be called a princess!

Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi are the perfect match!

[Every day I'm commenting on their Weibo posts saying the Civil Affairs Bureau has moved here, when are they getting married?!]

Lin Shaobai is so handsome in every frame of this drama, I screamed!

Before it aired, I always thought it would be incredibly cheesy to talk about princesses in this kind of setting, but the response after it aired was actually quite good. Lin Shaobai, oh Lin Shaobai, this role is perfect for you!

Lin Shaobai has taken on another role in his life.

[Zhang Jingyi also has her second representative role after Lin Beixing, Princess Zhu Yun.]

Filming for "All In" wrapped up in this cold season.

Lin Shaobai rushed to the Weibo building immediately after finishing his performance to participate in the promotional live stream for the TV series "Ignite Me, Warm You".

I met Zhang Jingyi, who was dressed up in the building.

The TV series was doing well, and Zhang Jingyi was in a good mood, with a smile naturally radiating from her face.

To be honest, this drama wouldn't have reached such a high level of popularity without Lin Shaobai's top-tier star status.

Many people started watching the show because of Lin Shaobai, but gradually came to like the plot and the female lead Zhang Jingyi who acted alongside him.

Zhang Jingyi gained a huge number of followers across various platforms during the show's airing.

She also gained two endorsements, and this drama definitely propelled her to stardom.

Previously, netizens commented that the post-95 actresses didn't even include her in their social circles.

She only has one hit drama, Lin Beixing, so she's not very reliable.

With Zhu Yun's blessing, it can finally be ranked among the top.
