Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 331, Question 330: Which one is Shao Bai negotiating with, He Tian Zhou Wang or Shao Bai?
[Next time on Weibo, could you please be more specific about this post? You insisted on using both names, making it seem like they'd officially announced their relationship. Was this intentional?]

I've been a fan of Lin Shaobai since his debut. To be honest, I really thought he was going to announce his relationship right now.

[That's impossible! Our Xiaolin has always prioritized her career and would never date. Please stop spreading rumors.]

[If anyone spreads rumors, I'll have my studio file a complaint. The internet isn't a place where you can say whatever you want, so please be careful.]

[I was wondering how Lin Shaobai could have such poor taste, actually falling for Liu Haocun?]

[Upstairs, if you don't want your eyes, you can donate them. Our Liu Haocun isn't lacking in anything, is he? He's so handsome, and his acting is good too. Among the new generation of actresses, there aren't many whose acting is better than our Cunzi, can you even count them on one hand?]

What I mean is, it's just so mismatched that a super-popular, top-tier celebrity like Lin Shaobai would choose someone so unknown and obscure. Isn't this just pure charity?

I don't think Lin Shaobai could possibly be interested in Liu Haocun even if he were blind.

[Seriously, what kind of entry is this? It's just teasing. Putting their names here makes you think they're dating, but when you click in, all I see is them eating hot pot. Can't paparazzi at least take some practical photos these days? Even a hotel photo would be better!]

[Tell me you're filming a scene of people eating hotpot, with so many people and staff from both sides—how can they possibly have any romance? It's ridiculous. Why don't you just go into the factory?]

I still firmly believe that Lin Shaobai is dating a super famous female celebrity; that's what I've seen in various entertainment gossip.

[The question now is whether he's dating Zhou Ye or Tian Xiwei. It's always been these two, but then I saw a rumor that it's Wang Churan. Apparently, Lin Shaobai helped Wang Churan get that high-end luxury brand endorsement! They're really in love.]

[Oh my god, but these are just couples that netizens want to ship, right? Lin Shaobai hasn't been caught on camera with any concrete evidence.]

Lin Shaobai is an actor; if he wants to date, let him. I'm just a casual observer, and I think at this age, it's fine to date as long as it's kept quiet.

Is the person who said this really just a casual observer?

[Am I the only one who thinks Liu Haocun and Lin Shaobai are actually quite a good match?]

They have absolutely no connection. Aside from that one time they met at a party, that kind of relationship. How could that be a good one? Wow, isn't it all just for show?

I don't know for sure, but so far their relationship seems pretty good; they're even eating hot pot together.

Am I the only one with an extra memory? Liu Haocun, she didn't...?

Yes, that's right. You're the only one with an extra memory. I suggest you see a psychiatrist at a hospital.

Netizens have been discussing this trending topic extensively.

My love for gossip will never change.

Surprisingly, when you clicked into the trending topic about Liu Haocun, there wasn't an overwhelming barrage of criticism.

In the past, whenever there was an event related to her, even if she wasn't the main character, I would get a lot of criticism if I clicked on it.

Even if she only appears faintly in a corner, a bunch of people will curse her in the comments.

Not to mention that her name was featured on trending searches.

This time, she was trending at number one, but surprisingly, not many people were criticizing her.
The public opinion has visibly improved!

Congratulations, congratulations!
The assistant who had been following Liu Haocun was terrified before she saw this trending topic and clicked on it.

I'm afraid it will be another bunch of unflattering pictures and various memes.

Sometimes I get really angry when I see netizens saying such hurtful things.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

Seeing how lenient everyone is with Liu Haocun this time.

Oh my, I'm so happy!

Finally, finally, the day has come when not everyone is criticizing her.

The key point is that it's trending on social media, which is so easy to get criticized. But the comments are quite rational.

The assistant could also tell that Liu Haocun really liked Lin Shaobai.

It may have started as simple admiration for a talented person, without any romantic feelings involved.

However, a very dark period soon followed. During this time, Lin Shaobai comforted Liu Haocun.

And back then, everyone would avoid Xiao Liu, afraid that being with her would get them scolded.

As a top celebrity, Lin Xiaobai should care most about her fame, status, and public image, yet she actively sought to get close to Liu Haocun.

He kept sending Liu Hao all sorts of things.

With someone putting in so much effort, Liu Haocun must have developed feelings for them.

Liu Haocun discovered this trending topic a little later than others.

I get scared whenever I see trending topics now.

I feel like I have PTSD.

If you click on it and find a bunch of black images, that's really scary!

This trending topic is just strange.

"Lin Shaobai and me?"

Liu Haocun, with his clever mind, thought it through and guessed before even clicking on the trending topic that they must have been photographed eating hot pot together.

It's alright, we just ate hot pot together, it's not like we went to a hotel together.

If this gets filmed, Lin Shaobai's fans will probably keep hurling insults at him for a very long time.

I dare not even think about it.

When the incident involving Lu Han and Guan Guan first came to light, Weibo was immediately flooded with criticism.

Lin Shaobai is more popular than Lu Han. If their relationship is revealed, the programmers will probably be devastated.

Liu Haocun quickly glanced at the comments on the trending topic and found that everyone was just discussing the matter and not criticizing her, which made her feel relieved.

It's really heartening that public opinion is gradually improving.

Perhaps things are finally looking up after all the hardships?

It should be counted.

Liu Hao sat lazily on the sofa with his phone to the side, still unable to recover from the confession.

A person sat blankly on the sofa, hugging a pillow and curled up in a corner.

"Um……"

It seems things are really going as I thought.

I just didn't ask who those girlfriends were back then.

You should be able to guess it.

First and foremost, it should be those people who often act with him.

Zhou Yetian, Xiwei Wang, Churan Zhang, Jingyi Zhang.

I think these are the ones.

Oh no.

And there's Dudu...

Liu Haocun really likes Dudu.

The two had met at several events and got along quite well.

Fate is such a wonderful thing.

You might feel inexplicably that this person is so easy to get along with and you would really like to continue the relationship with her after just the first meeting.

Of course, the relationship between Chen Dudu and Lin Shaobai is currently just speculation.

Chen Dudu is not affiliated with Lin Shaobai's company; she has her own studio.

so……

However, these two often film together, and many of their opportunities are introduced by Lin Shaobai, which is something everyone knows.

Will you and Dudu have more opportunities to meet privately in the future?
But the two are rivals in love.

I really don't want to become her love rival.

Even if you don't want it to, it has already happened.

"Ugh. So complicated. So troublesome."

Liu Haocun rubbed his temples.

Let's put this complicated matter aside for now and go to sleep.

A good night's sleep will make everything better.

……

……

The next day
Lin Shaobai returned to his company and met Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi. The next episode of the company's program will feature the two of them along with Zhang Ruonan.

After finishing saying everything he needed to say about work, Lin Shaobai suddenly leaned back in his chair, first looking at Xiao Zhang, then at his senior.

His actions left the two people on the other side completely confused.

Zhang Jingyi looked herself up and down, wondering if there was something wrong with what she was wearing.

Why keep staring at it?
Zhou Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, then patted the table: "It's very impolite to just stare at us like that without saying a word..."

Zhang Jingyi glanced at Senior Sister Zhou sitting next to her, then obediently replied, "Mmm..."

Even if you join a group instantly, you can't be completely daring.

"Well. According to the plan, the episode that's about to be recorded is for the two of you, but whether you want to go or not is up to you two to decide."

Lin Shaobai voiced all his concerns.

The two women sitting opposite didn't react at first, but after a few seconds they realized that they were afraid the two of them would fight.

Recently, the two fan groups have been arguing quite a bit.

They are complete arch-rivals.

“Oh my god.” Zhou Ye suddenly said, “The filming of ‘Divas Hit the Road’ is about to start, and there’s no time to record anymore.”

Zhou Ye made his point very clear.

Okay! Now let's see what happens to Xiao Zhang.

When the suggestion was first made, neither of them strongly objected.

They probably wanted to use this opportunity to clarify that the two of them weren't actually fighting every day.

Fans should also focus more on their own lives.

The Silk Road season of "Divas Hit the Road" is about to begin filming.

The director thought about casting for a very long time because whether the "Divas Hit the Road" series can be liked by the audience and whether it can create a chemical reaction depends mainly on the people.

The program format is one thing, but the main reason people watch this variety show is to see the seven people: five older sisters and two younger brothers.

If the cast is right, the show is 90% successful.

The reason why each season of "Divas Hit the Road" becomes popular is mainly because the people are good.

Of course, it's quite rare for shows like "Divas Hit the Road 2" to become popular purely because of their drama and infighting.

Even today, many people still study the show "Divas Hit the Road 2" from back then, and the term "Divas Hit the Road Studies" is used to refer to it.

Zhou Ye was the youngest among the older sisters when she joined, and she entered the show as the youngest sister in "Divas Hit the Road 5".

"Since Senior Sister has said so, I will definitely go too."

"Xiao Lin, are you worried that Zhang Jingyi and I will start arguing on the show?"

"...Of course not, after all, it's a TV show being recorded, and you're all well-mannered people. It's just that if you don't enjoy the recording, the final result might not be very good, and besides, you yourselves—"

"No, not at all." Zhou Ye said with a smile, "Junior Sister Zhang and I are not the same as we were back then. People change, you know. You can't judge us by the standards of the past."

"..."

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

If only that were the case.

Judging from that confident look in his eyes, I'll just have to believe him.

After chatting with someone, Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi came out of Lin Shaobai's office together.

Zhang Jingyi looked back with some reluctance.

This person still wanted to chat with Lin Shaobai a little longer, but since there were other people around, he was too embarrassed to say it directly.

shy……

All they could do was look back pitifully and silently.

Zhou Ye shook his head helplessly after seeing this.

"Oh my god."

"What's wrong, senior sister?"

"you……"

Zhou Ye really wanted to complain.

Zhang Jingyi is incredibly love-obsessed.

"Sister."

"So the two of us..."

"Didn't we already agree on this? You're not going to lie to me, are you?"

"What are you lying about?"

Zhou Ye pointed ahead, indicating that the two of them should walk and talk.

"What I mean is, we were talking so well in the office, and now you're going to go back on your word? Do you really want to argue with me on the show?"

"Of course not!"

Zhang Jingyi, who was very shy from beginning to end, quickly clarified after hearing that sentence.

At the same time, he waved his hands, appearing very sincere.

We won't argue.

We will absolutely not argue.

It was understandable to argue back then, but not anymore.

"Senior sister, we were recording a show at the time, how could we possibly have argued? And even now, we wouldn't argue, would we?"

"Um……"

Zhou Ye nodded and said nothing more.

But now that they've chosen to stay by Lin Shaobai's side, they probably don't want too much arguing.

At least these two people can live in peace now.

It's just that the fans are fighting fiercely.

so amazing.

It seems like even when the person involved tries to mediate, they get slapped twice before they can leave.

The last time I saw such a fierce argument was during the solo fan wars of the girl group Aespa, the competition between Jang Won-young and Yoo Ji-min for the top spot, questions about whether Taeyeon had ever dated a certain guy, the battle between Larisa and Kim Jin for the top K-pop female lead, who was the best in the group between Xiao Ma and Xiao Song, and who was the best boy group in the Chinese entertainment industry between Cheer Boys and the group...

This is truly terrifying.

If you've forgotten your identity information, you can do this.

Of course, I still wouldn't recommend it.

"Senior sister, there's something else I want to ask you. But I'm not sure if I should ask it."

"..."

Although Zhou Ye really wanted to say, "If you shouldn't ask, then don't ask."

Since you've already got this idea, why ask any more questions?
But in the end, he swallowed those words and said in a gentle tone, "What do you want to ask?"

"I don't know if you've seen that trending topic, it's about Lin Shaobai and Liu Haocun together..."

"what?!"

Zhou Ye hadn't noticed the trending topic, and was even startled to hear the two names put together.

I just hope they don't say anything that will give me a headache.

What are those two doing?

Masaka!
Don't do it!

"The two of them..."

"Ok?"

"The two of them went to eat hot pot together, and then they were photographed and it went viral on social media."

"Wow, Zhang Jingyi, can you please stop breathing so heavily when you talk?! You're scaring someone to death!"
