Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 3.3. Joining Jay Chou's Team
now
Lin Shaobai was already standing on the stage. After the band leader gave a gesture, the touching melody of a love song began to play.

After a while, he picked up the microphone and began to sing.

"Where are you hiding, daydreaming, my dear?"

"What's on your mind that you can't let go of?"

We always think too negatively about life.

"Like a strange creature that others don't allow us to be."

"Every cloud is unique."

"Everyone needs to find the sky to exist in."

We've all gotten used to staying in the same place.

"But they can't get used to being depended on."

"Snapped!!!"

As soon as the song reached this point, mentor Chen Yixun pressed the button in front of him, and the sliding chair slid directly in front of Lin Shaobai.

At the same time, a special effect of burning flames was displayed on the large screen behind Lin Shaobai.

The entire audience erupted in cheers, all happy for Lin Shaobai's performance on stage.

Wow! Instructor Chen Yixun filmed so quickly!

"Lin Shaobai sings so well."

"How can someone be so handsome and sing so well?"

"Are all the students in the Beijing Film Academy's acting department this good now?"

"Actors are now taking away singers' jobs."

Zhou Ye's friend was so infatuated with her that she almost went deaf from shouting.

She rubbed her ears and mumbled, "Keep your voice down, I don't want to spend the rest of my life with a hearing aid."

"This is so good, Yezi! Who exactly is this Lin Shaobai? How can he write such a beautiful song?!"

Zhou Ye turned his head back to look at Lin Shaobai singing on the stage.

She stared at him intently, and had to admit that for a moment, she really thought this junior brother was quite charming.

Lin Shaobai's voice is warm and healing, perfectly expressing the deep affection and helplessness in the song. Every note seems to tell the story in his heart.

I couldn't help but be moved by him.

Listening to this song, one can almost feel the indescribable longing and anticipation, which resonates deeply with the listener.

Since he started singing, the four mentors have nodded countless times. They are all very satisfied with the song and with Lin Shaobai's performance.

But we still need to leave some suspense; we can't press the button too quickly.

Mentor Na-young repeatedly placed her hand on the button, then took it back, then placed it on again, then took it back again, deliberately creating a dramatic effect for the show.

Chen Yixun couldn't stand it anymore. What was he waiting for if he wasn't going to snatch up such a talented student?

Lin Shaobai ignored the commotion inside the venue and continued singing with great enthusiasm.

"You gave me a love I never want to lose touch with for the rest of my life."

"Believe that the journey of love is to the stars and the sea."

"The wonderful storyline will not change."

It's the best arrangement of fate.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Upon hearing the chorus, mentors Na Ying and Liu Huan pressed the button simultaneously, their chairs tilting downwards as they moved to stand in front of Lin Shaobai.

In the end, only Jay Chou remained in the entire venue.

Nayoung twisted her body and shouted at Jay Chou, "Hey, Jay, what are you hesitating for? It's really good!!"

Jay Chou smiled as he stared at the button in front of him, thinking he should wait a little longer.

"You are the love I never want to lose touch with in this lifetime."

Why be so cruel as to force me to gently let go of your hand?

"Please come back soon, I want to hear what you have to say."

After the first verse of "Say You're Still Here" ended, Jay Chou finally pressed the button forcefully.

His eyes lit up as soon as the board in front of him was opened.

I knew he was handsome just from his voice, but I didn't expect him to be this handsome.

And he's also very talented.

Talent.

A true talent.

The cheers at the scene were twice as loud as before, and many audience members even stood up to applaud Lin Shaobai.

"Look, look! All four mentors are filming!"

"Frog Fun, the very first singer to appear had four mentors vying for her."

"To satisfy all four teachers is definitely the mark of a champion."

"It seems like the contestants they found this year are all pretty strong!"

"If it were me, I'd grab it too. He's handsome, sings well, and can even compose songs. I'd definitely choose Jay Chou."

And so, amidst cheers from the entire audience, Lin Shaobai concluded his performance perfectly.

He bowed to everyone, then smiled and looked at the four mentors who had come for him.

Na-young stood up first and clapped for Lin Shao-bai, and soon Chen Yi-xun, Zhou Dong, and Liu Huan also stood up.

"Good, good... I didn't expect our first contestant to be so surprising. Impressive. Come on, Lin Shaobai, please introduce yourself first."

Nayoung said as she sat down.

"Hello teachers, hello audience members, my name is Lin Shaobai. I am 18 years old and a student at Beijing Film Academy."

Wearing frameless black glasses, Jay Chou carefully examined Lin Shaobai's personal information before saying, "'Never Lost Contact Love'. Hmm, such a touching song written at such a young age, and sung so well... Not bad at all."

Jay Chou leaned back in his chair and made fun of his own joke.

Chen Yixun, sporting curly hair, smiled gently: "I see you're from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. Since you're in the Performance Department, you'll probably become an actor in the future, right? Why did you want to come to our stage?"

"Studying acting is learning a skill that will make a living in the future. Singing is a personal hobby; if you have the ability, you can develop both."

"Oh?"

None of the four mentors expected that the first young person to participate in the show would have such ambition.

"So handsome, can write original content, and has dreams and ambitions. Perfect! I like this kid! Lin Shaobai, I strongly invite you to join my team."

Chen Yixun slapped the chair excitedly and said.

Sitting next to her, Na-ying wasn't about to back down: "Hey, hey, hey, Lin Shaobai, look at me! I've never taken on a student from the Beijing Film Academy's acting department before. Lin Shaobai, if you come here, maybe you can even teach me acting."

Lin Shaobai held the microphone on stage, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Teaching Yingzi acting?
I don't think I need to teach them.

Yingzi's performance was very sincere, and phrases like "bullshit," "this is just alarmist talk," and "who the hell signed me up?" became popular memes in the future.

"I've never taken on any students majoring in acting at the Beijing Film Academy," Chen Yixun said anxiously, turning to Lin Shaobai on stage and asking, "Hey Lin Shaobai, have you heard my songs?"

Lin Shaobai nodded: "I've heard of it. I really like your 'Ten Years' and 'Love Transfer'."

"Hey, wait a minute." Jay Chou spoke up again: "Then you must have heard my songs, right?"

Jay Chou is very confident about the song's popularity.

Lin Shaobai nodded: "I've heard of them. I've listened to all four mentors' songs and I like them all."

Chen Yixun: "Lin Shaobai, come to my team, and I'll make sure you appear at my concert."

Jay Chou: "Lin Shaobai, I will also make you appear at my concert, join my team, and become my student. I will definitely make you famous."

Neither of these mentors wanted to let go of Lin Shaobai, such a top-notch creative talent.

"Hmm..." Teacher Liu Huan, who had been smiling kindly throughout, waited until the other three teachers had finished speaking before speaking: "I'll also give it a try. I really like your voice. Lin Shaobai, I hope we can have a great collaboration. Okay, now please choose your team."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small platform rose up in front of Lin Shaobai. There were four buttons on the platform, each representing one of the four mentors.

Without hesitation, Lin Shaobai chose Jay Chou, who had the highest popularity, and a flag belonging to Jay Chou's team was lowered onto the platform.

Jay Chou quickly went over and hugged Lin Shaobai.

When he put the team badge on Lin Shaobai, he said, "Lin Shaobai, you really amazed everyone tonight. Believe me, your song 'Never Lost Love' will be a huge hit after the show airs."
