Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 47. Filming Begins

The next morning
Lin Shaobai came to the factory to give a lesson to the students of Idol Producer.

He first went to Class A.

As soon as he entered, Cai Kunkun and the other trainees from Class A bowed to him.

"Hello, Teacher Lin!"

Lin Shaobai: "Hello everyone. How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"

The trainees looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Not bad."

"It's okay, relax. Come on, let's sit down first."

Lin Shaobai was in a good mood today, unlike his stern demeanor when he first watched their performance.

"Yesterday I asked if anyone in your Class A could be a vocalist, and no one raised their hand. Why?"

The atmosphere was very awkward, and no one spoke.

After a while, Wang Ziyi suddenly raised his hand: "Teacher, I am in charge of dance and rap in the team. I am not very good at singing, but I like singing very much. I also want to learn."

The atmosphere remains tense; it seems all the trainees are terrified of Lin Shaobai.

In fact, they are about the same age as Lin Shaobai, or even older.

However, they really need to be humble and respectful in learning from this program.

Lin Shaobai played a few notes on the piano, then said, "It's okay, relax, you can express your thoughts."

Fairy Zhu: "I'm not very good at high notes."

Chen Linong: "Teacher, I also like to sing, and I want to learn."

The atmosphere gradually became more lively.

Seeing this, Lin Shaobai said with satisfaction, "How about everyone sings a solo once?"

Sitting directly opposite him was Cai Kunkun, whose eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked at Lin Shaobai.

"Um... let Cai Kunkun go first."

Cai Kunkun: "Okay, teacher."

Lin Shaobai immediately played the theme song, and Cai Kunkun then closed his eyes and sang with rapture: "hey u hey u hey pick me EiEi... I hear you cheering and screaming for me."

After he finished singing, Lin Shaobai stared at him and said, "Pay a little attention to the subtle pitches and intonation."

Cai Kunkun nodded frantically: "Okay, okay. Thank you, teacher!!"

There are many fans of Cai Kunkun on this show, but right now Cai Kunkun is a fan of Lin Shaobai.

Next, Lin Shaobai checked on the other students in Class A.

"I feel like everyone's a bit too tense. This isn't an exam. Take a deep breath and relax. Am I really that scary? Let's try again."

……

Lin Shaobai then went on to teach classes B, C, D, and F.

I was exhausted both physically and mentally after class.

There are so many trainees, and many of them have poor basic skills.

I briefly understood the pain of being a teacher.

No wonder they like students who excel academically.

She pays attention in class and learns quickly, making things easy for everyone.

Lin Shaobai has a private rest room at the factory. He went back and tidied up his things on the sofa to prepare to leave work.

"dong dong dong"

"Come in."

Hearing a knock on the door behind him, he spoke without turning his head.

"teacher LIN?"

After a while, Cheng Xiao pushed open the door and walked in.

Lin Shaobai: "Huh? What brings you here?"

"What? I can't come?"

Lin Shaobai glanced at her, then joked, "Are you very strict in class?"

Cheng Xiao: "How did you know you were peeking?"

"My guess."

"If we're not strict, how can we expect them to train seriously? Trainees work the hardest. If you don't master the basics beforehand, you'll embarrass yourself when you go on stage."

Having been a trainee for many years, Cheng Xiao deeply understands the hardships of being a trainee.

In fact, foreign trainees have to put in more effort than local trainees when they go to South Korea.

They're quite xenophobic over there.

If you don't have particularly outstanding skills, you'll be ridiculed severely and you won't have any popularity.

Actually, her group WJSN (Cosmic Girls) isn't very popular in South Korea. The members also include Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi.

Cheng Xiao admires hardworking people, and in her eyes, Lin Shaobai is that type. He's not only hardworking at such a young age, but also very talented.

It's really amazing that a student from Beijing Film Academy could win a singing competition!

"But I'm still a bit better than Jieqiong. She's really strict."

As Cheng Xiao spoke, he walked towards Lin Shaobai, finally popping his head out: "Teacher Lin Shaobai?"

Lin Shaobai slung his bag over his shoulder: "Hmm?"

Cheng Xiao didn't speak, but her eyes swept over Lin Shaobai from head to toe, finally revealing a satisfied expression: "Hmm..."

Lin Shaobai asked in confusion, "Your expression is strange."

"It's nothing. I just wanted to see you."

"Oh, I'm going home now, there's nothing for me on the show."

"Um, wait a minute!"

Cheng Xiao tried to grab Lin Shaobai's arm, but because the area was quite chaotic, he stumbled over something and almost fell over!
At the crucial moment, Lin Shaobai turned around and reached out to support her, and Cheng Xiao landed steadily in Lin Shaobai's arms.

The moment Lin Shaobai touched her soft body, he felt a warm current.

"Oh, sorry." After Cheng Xiao came to her senses, she quickly got out of Lin Shaobai's arms, looking a little embarrassed.

"Um, Lin Shaobai, actually I..."

"It's alright. As long as you didn't fall, it's fine," Lin Shaobai said calmly.

Cheng Xiao pursed his lips and nodded: "Ahem. Um, what do you think of those trainees?"

"It's alright, but I'm strict when necessary."

"Oh...that..."

"So, is there anything else?"

"Gone."

Cheng Xiao was speechless after that hug.

My brain suddenly short-circuited, and what I'm saying now is just something that came out of my mouth randomly.

"I'm leaving now if there's nothing else. It's crazy not to be eager to leave work."

"Ah."

Cheng Xiao followed Lin Shaobai out of the lounge.

She stood at the door, watching Lin Shaobai and his assistant walk further and further away.

After a while, Zhou Jieqiong came over.

I just finished class.

What have you been doing here?

"Nothing."

Zhou Jieqiong glanced at Lin Shaobai in the distance, then looked at Cheng Xiao: "You've been staring at Lin Shaobai the whole time."

"No."

"So your direction is exactly like Lin Shaobai's? But I also really admire Teacher Lin. He's so talented at such a young age; the songs he writes are all very good. His love life must be quite eventful, otherwise how could he have such a mindset to write songs like these?"

"Who knows?" Cheng Xiao shrugged.

Asking too many questions about someone's private life can be annoying.

Most celebrities create a persona, and their private lives don't stand up to close scrutiny.

If this hadn't come to light, who would have known that Fan Zifeng, Shuangzi, and Lunzi were such people?

What's outrageous is that even if it's exposed, fans won't admit it unless there's solid evidence.

Lin Shaobai is preparing for the filming of the movie "Cry Me a Sad River" during his free time.

After finishing his classes in the morning, he rushed to catch a plane so he could attend the film's opening ceremony the next day.

The female lead in this movie is Ren Min, and the second female lead is Zhang Ruonan.

In the movie, both the female lead and the second female lead are in love with Qi Ming, played by Lin Shaobai.

During the opening ceremony, Zhang Ruonan kept secretly watching Lin Shaobai, acting like an adoring fangirl.

She was completely smitten with Lin Shaobai while watching the show.

Zhang Ruonan thought Lin Shaobai was exceptionally talented.

He's handsome, and he's so young, why is he so attractive?

She never thought she would be someone who would have thoughts of dating a younger man, until she met Lin Shaobai.

He's talented, and his family has connections...

very nice.

she thought to herself.
