Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 333, Section 332: Zhou Ye Records "Divas Hit the Road" and "Singer" Grand Finale

A few days later, Zhou Ye, Zhang Jingyi, and Zhang Ruonan recorded the sixth episode of "Chenguang Xiaozhu" together.

After finishing recording this program, Zhou Ye immediately went to record "Divas Hit the Road" (a variety show).

She is currently the most popular and influential celebrity in this group.

On the first day of filming, the director of "Divas Hit the Road 5" put together a little game to test their teamwork.

Simply put, it involves giving these seven people a fixed amount of money and then letting them use that money to choose the appropriate means of transportation to their destination.

If one person is selfish and spends all the money at once, then the others are doomed.

Of course, it's highly unlikely that anyone would do that.

If someone actually did that, they would be condemned to death.

Zhou Ye was very close to the destination, so she chose to walk there directly, without spending any of the budget provided by the production team.

She was recognized by passersby on the street because of her incredible popularity.

"Wow! Look at all those people over there!"

"Yes, why?"

"Zhou Ye! Ah!"

"My god? Zhou Ye?"

"I just heard from her fans that she's recording some kind of program?"

"I really like Zhou Ye! I've heard she's incredibly beautiful, but I haven't seen her in person yet."

"Hey, I'm a bit better than you. I actually met her in person. She's incredibly beautiful, with such a lovely little face."

"She's so beautiful, no wonder Lin Shaobai likes her. Those two are looking for partners."

"Bullshit! Nonsense! Our Lin Shaobai is single."

Meanwhile, Lin Shaobai, who was being discussed, was at the company discussing the future development of the artists.

After so many years of training and hard work, the artists under the Actors Department, Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye, Wang Churan, and Zhang Jingyi, have all transformed from unknown 18th-tier celebrities into top-tier idols.

Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, in particular, have achieved success in both variety shows and film and television, making them undoubtedly top female celebrities.

Wang Churan and Zhang Jingyi both have their own representative works, which are famous and popular.

Even classic characters can be repeatedly praised.

Liu Yuxin, from the idol department, continues to develop steadily and is definitely one of the top idols in the Chinese entertainment industry. She has also appeared on the show "Cochira" and owns her own fashion brand.

Kong Xueer is slightly inferior, but not bad either.

Fortunately, during her trainee period, Lin Shaobai gave her a good opportunity to practice singing.

Sher is good at dancing; if she practices singing more, she'll be a true all-rounder in both singing and dancing.

In the future, I could appear on singing variety shows.

Now, besides acting, he also appears on various music variety shows.

As long as Baichen Entertainment is there, there will be no shortage of resources in this area.

After the meeting, Lin Shaobai and his agent chatted in the office about the hottest variety show recently, "Singer 2024".

Singers have always been a popular IP, and this year, due to the novel live streaming format, many casual viewers are willing to join in the fun.

With the addition of some very talented international singers, it's become incredibly popular lately.

Yingzi also contributed a lot of memes to the story.

What nonsense about a 5-year-old woman guarding the border, and three capable fighters coming through? That's utter bullshit, pure alarmism. Who the hell signed me up...?

Before we knew it, the show was almost at its finale.

The final round of a singer's competition usually consists of two rounds, the first of which is a duet performance.

Every year, everyone looks forward to seeing who the singer will choose to sing with them.

Yingzi, as a popular contestant, is naturally someone everyone is eagerly anticipating.

"So, this time it's you we've come looking for."

The agent looked at Lin Shaobai and smiled.

"I've known that sister for a long time."

Lin Shaobai leaned back in his chair as he spoke.

I remember the first time I met Na Ying was on the show "The Voice of China".

It feels like the events of 2017 were just yesterday.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

He was just a champion on the show "The Voice of China" back then, but now he has become a top-tier actor.

“They called me that day and said we should sing the song ‘A Dream’ together.”

"This is a good song. Na Ying has so many hit songs, so choosing this one is actually quite good. But is it really appropriate to put this ballad in the finals?"

The agent said with a hint of worry.

Lin Shaobai shrugged helplessly.

That's just pointless worrying.

First of all, it's impossible for that two to be the champions on this show.

Even though those two players are undeniably strong.

Over many episodes, one young female contestant never even fell out of the top three, consistently performing exceptionally well each time.

If not Na Jie, who should get the remaining domestic singers?

It's the same every year: the champion is given to the singer with the highest status and the most seniority, which is considered well-deserved.

When the show first started airing, everyone knew that the title of "King of Singers" would ultimately go to Na Jie.

Who would have thought that two such amazing players would suddenly appear?

Lin Shaobai has memories of the future, so he knows that Sister Na is definitely the champion, without a doubt.

Mango could control who the champion was behind the scenes.

Voting is just a process.

Just like Singer 2025.

"Hmm... With you here, that episode will definitely get more viewers."

The agent covered her mouth and chuckled. Just as she got up to leave, the office door was pushed open.

Next to enter was student Xiao Zhang.

She was in a good mood today, calling out Lin Shaobai's name with a smile.

"Kobayashi! Uh..."

Xiao Zhang came in so quickly that he didn't even notice there was another person inside.

He quickly and awkwardly walked inside, then closed the door behind him.

The agent first looked at her, then at Lin Shaobai, with a maternal smile on her face: "You two chat."

"Ah."

Xiao Zhang stood obediently to the side, watching the agent walk out.

After everyone had gone far away, she ran up to Lin Shaobai.

"I heard you're going to participate in that singing competition."

Zhang Jingyi's eyes were sparkling; she seemed very much looking forward to the show.

"It's fake, a scam."

Lin Shaobai made a joke on purpose, turning his body to the side and secretly opening one eye to see how Xiao Zhang would react.

Xiao Zhang didn't think much of it.

Since Lin Shaobai said so, she believed him.

He suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping into a chair.

"Oh, I've been really enjoying this show lately. It's so popular."

"It's really popular; every live stream is a hit."

"That's why I said I'd be really happy if you could participate in this show; I'd be able to see you on my favorite program." "You're so excited for me to go on?"

"Of course I'm looking forward to it."

Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly, her lips curving upwards with only a tiny bit of upward movement.

"You've actually been focusing on acting all this time, but your path as a singer is equally appealing and incredibly cool. I really hope you'll pick up your singing career again."

Lin Shaobai initially attracted so many fans because he could write songs, play multiple instruments, sing well, was handsome, and had a great stage presence.

I'm a huge fan of little girls.

Lin Shaobai had been releasing new songs and albums, and in recent years he has been busy with movies, TV series, and the company's work on cultivating artists, so he has temporarily put this aspect aside.

"I think you definitely have the ability to be on 'Singer,' and everyone knows you sing well. You're not afraid to sing live. No matter what, I believe in you."

Zhang Jingyi took Lin Shaobai's hand proactively, her eyes filled with deep affection.

"You...don't you know I'm having a concert soon?"

"Ok?"

The two stared at each other, as if time had stood still because of those words.

It's actually a pretty normal sentence.

But for some reason, Xiao Zhang felt a little embarrassed.

concert?
What concert?
I had absolutely no idea!

Oh no, I didn't even notice my boyfriend's upcoming concert!

"I don't know..."

Zhang Jingyi recently went to climb snow-capped mountains and trek through deserts. After returning, she frantically watched the entire "Singer" program and had no idea about the upcoming concert.

"Okay, I'm going to have a concert in the second half of the year. So it's not like you said, that I've completely put my singing career on hold."

"Oh……"

"Also, it's not true that I didn't go on this show. Sister Na has already invited me, and I've accepted. We're going to go up and sing 'A Dream' together."

"real!"

Zhang Jingyi was so excited that she stood up!
He quickly realized that what he was doing was inappropriate and slowly sat down.

“That’s great! I’ll definitely go to your concert. I’m not usually a big fan of concerts, but if it’s you, I’ll definitely go.”

"By the way, you've come at the perfect time."

Lin Shaobai took out a box of newly bought pastries from the cabinet and placed it on the table.

"I asked someone to bring this to you; it's really delicious. You should try it."

"Oh?"

Zhang Jingyi never expected that someone who just showed up unexpectedly would receive food.

She took a small sip and nodded in satisfaction.

"Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Where did you discover so many delicious foods? You're not even a foodie."

"Although I'm not a foodie, everyone around me is a foodie, so I have to support them."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingyi's dessert no longer tasted sweet.

Something about that sounds weird, like it's targeting someone!

Oh, does that mean I love to eat?

Zhang Jingyi was angry for only one second, then silently finished eating what she was holding.

Sigh, just say it, just say it. It's just a fact, and with what Lin Shaobai said, you should just accept it.

"Okay, then can you support me for the rest of my life?"

Zhang Jingyi thought that since the conversation had already started, let's continue along this line.

"Of course." Lin Shaobai touched Xiao Zhang's face.

……

……

……

One week later, the grand finale of "Singer 2024" officially began.

The internet exploded after it was announced that Lin Shaobai would be Na Jie's guest performer.

Even just the official announcement of the guest performer on Weibo caused it to go viral.

Netizens also posted their opinions after seeing this trending topic.

[Wow! Lin Shaobai is coming to the Singer finals?!]

[I almost forgot, but Lin Shaobai actually worked with Sister Na before.]

[After all, he came from a singing competition. He's been a movie star for so long he's almost forgotten that he rose to fame through singing.]

It's been a long time since we've heard Lin Shaobai release a new song; it seems like he's focused entirely on acting.

I've been a fan of Lin Shaobai ever since he started singing. He was still releasing albums in his early years, but later he focused entirely on making movies and TV series.

Wow, singing live on stream! Isn't Lin Shaobai afraid?

[Live streaming? Our all-around top star Lin isn't afraid of anything!]

Have we forgotten that our Lin Shaobai also fought his way up from a singing competition?

Does anyone still question Lin Shaobai's singing? He must be unafraid to accept this show.

[Then I think Na Jie will definitely be the champion this time. They managed to get Lin Shaobai to come, so they're definitely counting on him to win.]

[Inviting Lin Shaobai to perform doesn't guarantee she'll be the champion. The singing competition finals have two rounds; the results are a combination of the first and second rounds. And apparently, if you don't perform well in the first round, you won't even make it to the second. It's a real shame.]

I think that no matter what, Na Jie's current strength is definitely not as strong as those two. If she were younger, she might still be able to put up a fight.

The online discussion was extremely heated. Lin Shaobai had already changed his clothes and was in the live broadcast room specially prepared by Mango TV.

A few seconds later, the live broadcast started. After greeting Sister Na, Lin Shaobai sat on the sofa, with the camera directly opposite him.

After a while, Sister Na suddenly said to Lin Shaobai, "Are you nervous?"

Lin Shaobai was spacing out when he suddenly heard what Sister Na said and he smiled habitually: "It's alright."

"Oh, let me tell you, I was super nervous when I first came here, I... sigh."

Na Jie's hesitant expression was absolutely hilarious.

She doesn't dare to speak out of turn anymore, since this is a live broadcast.

Despite the many criticisms, 90% of the show's viewership comes from Na Jie.

Even before the finals officially began, there were already multiple trending topics about the show, with one of them trending at number one.

#Singer Grand Final#.

Meng Ziyi, who was at home at the time, saw this trending topic and quickly clicked on it.

Holding the phone in both hands, I was eagerly anticipating how Xiaolin would perform today.

Meanwhile, Ms. Wang paced nervously back and forth at home.

This is a live broadcast!
We had no idea what would happen on the scene; everything was unknown.

Ms. Wang is definitely 100% hoping that Lin Shaobai can help Sister Na get a good ranking in the first round of singing, but who knows what the audience's taste will be?

"Oh, I'm so nervous!"

"I'm so nervous, so nervous, so nervous."

"Hey."

Wang Churan happened to be sitting right next to him. Watching this goddess spin around in circles in the living room, his eyes were practically blurry.

"What are you doing? You're blocking my view of the TV. It's the finals live, it's super important, you know?"

"I'm so nervous! What if something happens to my man up there?!"

Ms. Wang has started her pretentious, abstract approach again.

My best friend said helplessly, "I have no idea."
