Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 35. The Music Mentor of Idol Producer

Just before Lin Shaobai was about to head to Dachang to record "Idol Producer", a new episode of "The Voice of China Season 2" was released.

This episode finally features the championship match within Jay Chou's team.

Lin Shaobai is currently the most popular contestant on the show.

After the latest episode was updated on the website, the barrage of comments was flooded, mostly from his fans, in addition to the mentors.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei from the Shanghai Theatre Academy is tired from playing basketball in the gymnasium and is taking a break to open her phone.

She didn't want to see it in the first place, but who would have thought that it would suddenly pop up on her phone?
Lin Shaobai in the program is currently singing Jay Chou's famous song "Quiet" with teacher Ha Lin.

He was dressed in a sharp suit and looked particularly handsome.

As Tian Xiwei watched, her expression changed.

Seeing this, he could understand why Lin Shaobai's fan base was growing.

As a singer, Lin Shaobai is truly charismatic on stage. The charisma on stage determines how many fans you can attract, just like those singing and dancing idols.

Looking at boy groups and girl groups, those with high popularity are generally the visual center or the ACE of the group.

People will first look at the good-looking members to decide whether to become fans, and then look at the members with the strongest skills in the group.

You definitely need to have something unique to attract fans.

Tian Xiwei thought that if Lin Shaobai became an idol, he would probably become one of the most popular members.

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly someone came over and knocked on the table in front of Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei looked up and saw a tall and strong male classmate.

Hello, could I please have your contact information?

"No."

Tian Xiwei's refusal was remarkably decisive. After speaking, she turned her attention back to the program.

When the male student couldn't get her contact information, he noticed the badminton racket next to her.

"Want to play badminton together? I think you're pretty good at it. Actually, I'm not bad either."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei frowned, then turned off her phone screen and stood up abruptly.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave."

"Huh? Didn't you just start playing? Why are you leaving now? Playing for a short time won't have much effect."

"I have an emergency at home."

Tian Xiwei felt that her patience had reached its limit.

"What's the emergency?"

As it turned out, the boy didn't seem to have any sense of propriety and kept asking questions.

Tian Xiwei packed her badminton bag as quickly as possible, then slung it over one shoulder: "I need to pick up my grandma after school, and I need to visit my pregnant brother."

He left the stadium after saying that.

The male classmate who approached him was completely bewildered.

"Wait, your grandma got out of school... What the heck?!"

Tian Xiwei sighed wearily as she left the gymnasium.

The Shanghai Theatre Academy has no shortage of beautiful women, but few possess a beauty as distinctive as hers.

Her round, large eyes became her most memorable feature.

As a result, she was often approached by people while walking around school, but Tian Xiwei never bothered to even glance at them.

She walked alone to a nearby pavilion with her bag on her back, took out her phone and continued watching the program.

At this time, Tian Xiwei didn't really like surfing the internet, let alone watching music variety shows.

I simply found Lin Shaobai to be an interesting person.

This is the first time in my life I've met someone so arrogant, but despite his arrogance, he also has real talent.

The original song "Young and Promising" that came out later shocked her even more.

"No wonder Jay Chou chose him as the champion of his group; this song was bound to be the champion!"

"The song is really good."

Tian Xiwei sighed as she looked at Lin Shaobai on the screen.

…………

……

The song "Young and Promising" was quickly released on music platforms, and its popularity surpassed that of the previous two songs.

Fans started generating data for Lin Shaobai on music platforms, and various forms of comment control appeared under his songs.

Lin Shaobai's "Never Lost Love" is still number one on the hot song chart, and "Quietly" is number two.

His new song "Young and Promising" topped both the new song chart and the rising song chart.

The number of Weibo followers has exceeded 300 million.

Singers are different from actors, so their growth rate is naturally slower, but Lin Shaobai's data is already quite amazing for a new singer.

Netizens are amazed that this freshman from Beijing Film Academy is so popular in singing.

If every song he releases becomes a hit, does he really still have acting skills?
Can I still be a good actor?
Haters have also started appearing online.

Isn't Lin Shaobai a student at the Beijing Film Academy? If he's not focused on acting, why is he singing?

I heard he hardly ever goes to school; he's just a figurehead.

[He initially became famous simply because he was from the Beijing Film Academy but sang very well. It was all a lie, after all.]

Lin Shaobai didn't care; it's normal for public figures to be talked about.

And the fact that someone is criticizing you means that you have indeed come into the public eye.

Lin Shaobai composed himself and headed to the factory to officially record "Idol Producer".

Zhang Xingxing, PD, and the mentor team held their first meeting.

Lin Shaobai now has his own small team, including an agent, assistant, and makeup artist.

He is currently better suited to this kind of streamlined small team.

Lin Shaobai and the other mentors from Idol Producer sat around a small white square table. RAP mentor Wang Jiaer sat next to him, and two dance teachers, Cheng Xiao and Zhou Jieqiong, sat opposite him.

Both of them are members of girl groups who returned from South Korea. Their popularity is so-so, but they have years of trainee experience and they do have some skills.

Sitting in the middle is Zhang Xingxing, the representative of the national producers.

Zhang Xingxing also hosts the show.

Zhang Xingxing: "There is another mentor who is not here today due to some special reasons. That is mentor Li Ronghao."

Wang Jiaer: "Hey, how many years were you a trainee?"

Zhang Xingxing: "I've had four and a half years. How about you?"

“It took me two and a half years,” Wang Jiaer said very honestly.

Sitting next to him, Lin Shaobai seemed to have triggered some memories from the two and a half years.

Zhou Jieqiong pointed to her face and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It looks like I have the longest cheeks. I only debuted in 2016."

Zhang Xingxing turned to Lin Shaobai and said, "Hey, Shaobai is a rising singer, and all his songs are very popular. He has released three songs, and all three are on the hot song charts."

Lin Shaobai nodded and joked, "Oh right. In the competition, the path hasn't even been revealed yet."

Cheng Xiao: "I feel like you have a dance background, right?"

Lin Shaobai: "Uh, right. I've practiced it."

Wang Jiaer looked at Cheng Xiao in surprise: "You could even tell that?"

Cheng Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Hmm."

Lin Shaobai: "In order to be able to film period dramas better, I also need to practice in this area."

Zhang Xingxing smiled and continued the meeting: "Today's meeting is about these 100 trainees. We need to share our experiences with them and then help them. First, we need to get to know them. Now we have prepared a PPT for the mentors."

Lin Shaobai turned his head to look at the large screen in front of him.

While clicking through the PowerPoint slides, Zhang Xingxing explained to everyone: "There are a total of 87 companies and 1908 trainees."

Zhou Jieqiong: "Wow, so many trainees!"

Lin Shaobai made a joke about Xun Ge from a while ago: "There are so many people."

Cheng Xiao immediately understood his point and covered her mouth to chuckle.

An interesting younger brother.

That's what she was thinking.
