Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 299, 298. Breaking news! Did Sister Meng and Lin Shaobai talk? (4K)

Meng Ziyi cried for a long time in front of her agent.

The agent knew that Sister Meng had been universally condemned over the years, that everything she did was wrong, and that no one believed her.

Although I feel wronged, I never cry in front of myself.

Perhaps they didn't want to convey these negative emotions.

Moreover, the company has other artists, and the manager can't possibly focus all their attention on her all the time.

Sister Meng cried this time because she was moved and excited; it truly was a case of hardship finally giving way to happiness.

After all these years, I've finally landed my leading lady role, a female character that everyone can recognize.

I didn't dare to read everyone's comments when the TV series first aired.

I'm afraid that all 10 of the 10 comments will be negative, and some will even contain rumors!

Some netizens have been really harsh with their insults, and even Sister Meng sometimes finds it hard to bear.

Looking at the comments from netizens again, they all praised her for being beautiful and having good acting skills. Many people even changed their opinion of her because of this drama.

As October drew to a close, filming wrapped on the TV series "Ink Rain and Clouds," starring Lin Shaobai.

He then went with Sister Meng to participate in the offline live broadcast promotion of the TV series "Ninefold Purple".

If a drama becomes a hit, the production team will organize a live broadcast featuring the main actors.

It can sell the CP (couple pairing), promote the TV series, and increase popularity.

Lin Shaobai and Meng Ziyi inexplicably became the spokespeople for their aunt and uncle.

Lin Yingdi is a good actor and handsome, so he has great chemistry with female stars.

The chemistry between celebrities is a mysterious thing; some people just don't have any chemistry with any of the people they act with.

Take Guan Xiaotong, the "nation's daughter," for example. It seems that she doesn't have much chemistry with the male lead in TV dramas.

I wonder if it's because everyone already knows she and Lu Han are in a romantic relationship, or if it's a problem with her persona itself?
Later, she finally got a role in "The People of the Alley," where she and Wang Anyu, who played the character Lin Dongzhe, had some on-screen chemistry.

The chemistry between female celebrities who have been married for 4000 years and male celebrities is quite mysterious.

She's acted in so many dramas, but she still never has any chemistry with the male lead in the same drama.

If the main couple doesn't click, the show is unlikely to become popular.

Unless it's a suspenseful detective drama with an exceptionally exciting plot, people can watch it just by looking at the story and don't need to ship any particular couple.

Therefore, there haven't been any particularly good works broadcast in the past few years.

However, because they were champions from the SNH48 girl group in their early years, or even champions who rose to fame, their fans' ability to generate data is among the best in the Chinese entertainment industry.

In short, creating a romantic pairing is definitely a way to make someone famous overnight.

Just like the current CP between Lin Shaobai and Sister Meng, it's entirely thanks to her leading Sister Meng to success.

That evening, Shao Bai and Meng Ziyi arrived at the Weibo building together.

Meng was very nervous before the live broadcast.

Even if you're incredibly nervous inside, you can't show it on your face immediately.

Lin Shaobai suddenly noticed Meng Ziyi's twitching face and couldn't help but laugh.

Meng Ziyi immediately turned her head and stared intently at Lin Shaobai with her big eyes: "Why are you laughing at me?"

Lin Shaobai: "I'm laughing at how nervous you are. Your face is twitching from this angle!"

"smoke?"

Mencius was particularly concerned about his appearance and always wanted to look beautiful.

She almost never appears on camera without makeup.

Unless it's absolutely necessary to record a variety show.

We should have a playful spirit.

"Is my face twitching? Oh no, is there something wrong with my muscles?!"

Meng Ziyi quickly ran to a corner and asked her assistant and makeup artist.

The assistant said, "Isn't his face perfectly fine?"
Why did you suddenly say your muscles were twitching?
The makeup artist standing next to them also said that it was perfectly normal.

Meng Ziyi then realized that Lin Shaobai had been lying to her all along!

She stormed over to Lin Shaobai, looking as if she had been deeply wronged.

"You said my face was twitching, but it wasn't twitching at all. We're about to go live, so don't lie to me. If I were to go live with a twitching face, I wouldn't want to live anymore."

"Hahaha……"

"Don't joke about my face next time, especially not the face that's about to be broadcast live."

"Don't worry, you're always beautiful."

After Lin Shaobai finished speaking, he casually straightened his trouser leg, as if he had just said it offhand without any emotion.

I'm just telling the truth.

But this seemingly lighthearted remark became a love confession to Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi has been constantly criticized by netizens.

However, almost no one says she is ugly.

At most, people might call her a "green tea face" or a scheming bitch, but no one would say she's ugly.

I've been praised for my beauty so much that I'm almost immune to it.

But when Lin Shaobai complimented her on her beauty, she couldn't hide her attraction.

Meng Ziyi blushed slightly, and even wanted to kiss Lin Shaobai.

No, no, I have to hold back.

It's being broadcast live now.

Once Mencius realized this, he immediately straightened up and waited for the live broadcast to begin.

Today's live stream will mainly consist of reading comments and answering some questions about the TV series.

During today's live stream, Meng Ziyi paid special attention to everyone's comments and bullet screen messages, whereas she would never have given them a second glance before.

She also knows that her reputation has been good lately, and everyone is praising her!
After the live stream ended, Sister Meng and Lin Shaobai went to a lounge together.

The two of them are going to give away some autographed photos.

Meng Ziyi finished signing long ago, while Lin Shaobai only started signing after he finished dealing with his own affairs.

Sister Meng slowly walked to Lin Shaobai's side, propping her chin on her hand as she looked at him.

Later, they got so close that Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Listen to me, thank you, because of you~"

Mengziyi's first move was a beautiful ballad!

Of course, to others, her beautiful songs were nothing short of hellish.

"fear."

"Don't say that. I've been practicing singing a lot lately, and my assistant says I sing really well now."

"Which assistant said you sing well? Look how they've been trying to win you over like a backup option."

Lin Shaobai continued to sign his name quickly.

"They're all just trying to comfort me. Why can't you comfort me too? You have to tell the truth."

Meng Ziyi suddenly whispered in Lin Shaobai's ear.

She was deliberately blowing air into his ear.

The two staff members furthest away who witnessed this scene were both knocked to their deaths!
And this scene was actually recorded by the staff present.

A few days later, the video circulated online.

This is the first video that pops up whenever you search for videos featuring Lin Shaobai and Meng Ziyi as a couple.

Fans are completely obsessed with the couple, but many casual viewers are starting to doubt whether they're actually dating. [My boyfriend and I are like that; I think they're really dating.]

[People in the industry probably already knew, right? The expressions on the faces of the staff at the scene suggested they already knew they were a couple.]

I guarantee we've definitely talked. If we haven't, I'll eat shit.

[Little glutton!]

[Don't be so sure. Maybe it's just because they acted in this drama that they developed a deeper relationship, and some flirting is understandable.]

No way! Lin Shaobai belongs to Tian Xiwei!

[Tian Xiwei's fans are being insensitive and self-absorbed, don't they understand? Don't they know this is a video of Lin Shaobai and Meng Ziyi as a couple? They have absolutely no manners.]

[I'm speechless. This is clearly a video of Lin Shaobai and Meng Ziyi, yet I'm seeing other female celebrities' names here? Top female stars shouldn't be talking about this, right?]

They're so sweet together. I don't think these moments in private are acting, and look, this definitely wasn't filmed on purpose.

[I don't think it was acting. Lin Shaobai was clearly signing autographs the whole time; it was Meng Ziyi who initiated it. Even if they didn't actually date, Meng Ziyi definitely has feelings for Lin Shaobai; look at the way she looks at him!]

[Meng Ziyi definitely likes Lin Shaobai. I watched all the behind-the-scenes footage to watch the drama "Nine Layers of Purple." Even if they're not dating now, they're definitely in a flirtatious phase. No doubt about it, she can definitely win him over!]

[Lin Shaobai is so great! Meng Ziyi should hurry up and win him over. Aunt and Uncle should be happily together forever.]

The most popular couple during the show's airing was Lin Shaobai and Meng Ziyi.

Because of the show's immense popularity, Meng Ziyi received many more interviews, gained several commercial endorsements, and had some magazine shoots.

While variety shows can improve public image and broaden national recognition, it is still mainly through TV dramas that one can elevate their status.

Undoubtedly, she successfully entered the mainstream of young actresses through this drama.

However, one drama alone is not enough to defeat the leading actresses of Bai Chen Company who are all born in the 95s.

The box office results for Lin Shaobai's previous film, "All In," have also been released, and it ultimately grossed 48 billion yuan!

The highest-grossing film he has starred in so far.

"Cry Me a Sad River" grossed 10 billion yuan, "Better Days" grossed 36 billion yuan, "Missing Her" grossed 41 billion yuan, and "Life's Big Events" grossed 28 billion yuan.

Although "Life's Big Events" wasn't the highest-grossing film, Lin Shaobai won his first Best Actor award for it.

November arrived quickly, and filming wrapped up for the TV series "Ink Rain Clouds" starring Lin Shaobai and Wang Churan.

A few days later, the 35th Golden Rooster Awards for Chinese Films were held!

Lin Shaobai has once again been nominated for Best Actor at this year's awards ceremony for his role as Mo Sanmei in the film "Life's Big Events".

He was nominated along with four other male actors: Shen Teng ("Lonely on the Moon"), Wu Jing ("The Battle at Lake Changjin"), Si Zi ("Miracle Kid"), and Xu Zheng ("Love Myth").

From an outsider's perspective, the difficulty of these four people's nominations is on a completely different level compared to Lin Shaobai's nomination for the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Just kidding, Lin Shaobai faced off against the movie star Liu Ye last time.

Before the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony officially began, Lin Shaobai trended on social media for his handsome red carpet look.

Teacher VV happened to see this while browsing trending topics at home.

He is always particularly sensitive to things that are eye-catching, such as "handsome" and "good looks".

Therefore, I look at my own face 300 times a day, even when I pass by a window.

Whether someone is handsome or not may vary depending on individual aesthetic standards, but height is something that cannot be changed.

Even if Teacher VV is narcissistic, he has to admit that Lin Shaobai is taller than him.

And to win the Best Actor award at such a young age, it would be a lie to say I'm not envious.

VV was clearly one of the top celebrities in her early years...

"Tsk."

While looking at the news photos of Lin Shaobai, VV touched her jawline.

His agent was sitting right next to him.

"Lin Shaobai's popularity has always been this high."

VV scratched her forehead as her agent told her to.

He must be envious.

Despite acting for so many years, I've never won any particularly prestigious awards, and I've even been ridiculed for my increasingly poor acting skills.

Needless to say, someone like Lin Shaobai could even win a Best Actor award.

"His popularity has been high since 17, and now it's 2022, almost 2023, and his popularity is still just as high. There aren't many artists who can maintain their popularity for so long. He's so young, and he has such a long future ahead of him. It's really terrifying."

VV's agent sighed earnestly.

vv remained silent.

Only envy.

Meanwhile, Luo Yunxi, who acted in the same drama as Lin Shaobai back then, also saw the photos of Lin Shaobai attending the Golden Rooster Awards.

Back then, the two people's fans often got into arguments.

After all, they are the male lead and second male lead of the same drama, and they are both quite popular, so it's normal for their fans to fight.

But now their fans don't dare to mess with Lin Shaobai's white cranes at all.

He could be pinned to the ground and beaten.

Luo Yunxi's subsequent career did not go well.

After Runyu became famous, he also filmed some dramas, but unfortunately none of them were very good.

Their paths diverged completely from Lin Shaobai's.

If a show becomes a hit but doesn't receive enough follow-up support, it will quickly flop.

Of course, this guy didn't fall too badly.

Now, when he looks at his phone, he sometimes thinks of Lin Shaobai, the actor who became famous alongside him in the same drama.

He won the Best Actor award at a young age and has now been nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards. He is also a hot favorite for this year's Golden Rooster Award.

If he wins Best Actor this time, he will have two Best Actor awards in his hands.

What a terrible result!

He already had so many hit dramas and billions in box office revenue, and now he's won two Best Actor awards... It's really...

I don't even know how to describe it.

Because the Chinese entertainment industry has never produced a young person as amazing as him.

Luo Yunxi realized long ago that they were no longer celebrities from the same world.

Master Hua used to compete with Lin Shaobai a few years ago, but now she's keeping quiet and obedient.

I'll keep working hard in the music industry.

There's no need, and it can't steal the spotlight from the top trend.

Lin Shaobai was already sitting backstage at the Golden Rooster Awards, waiting for the staff to let them into the venue.

A moment later, the four-character man entered the room and took the initiative to come to Lin Shaobai's side, extending his hand to Lin Shaobai very politely and respectfully: "Brother Lin."

Lin Shaobai: "Ah, Millennium is here."

Even though we're not very familiar with each other, we still have to put on an act in this kind of situation.

"I recently saw on Weibo that you've finished filming another drama."

Si Zi naturally sat down next to Lin Xiaobai and started talking to him about the TV series.

The four-character actor later stopped acting in TV dramas and devoted himself to the film industry.

"Ah."

“I went to see the movie ‘All for the Winner’ that my brother starred in before, and I thought he acted exceptionally well.”

The four characters here don't seem like polite words at all.

He truly admired and idolized Lin Shaobai.
