Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 59. My buddy's turned this into a solo concert again.

On the evening of December 31st, all the trending topics on Weibo were about the New Year's Eve concerts of various TV stations.

However, the top spot on the charts right now still belongs to #MangoTVNewYearEve#.

Before Lin Shaobai took the stage, the host, Teacher He, gave a long introduction.

"This year, our music scene has produced a creative genius."

As soon as Teacher He finished speaking, screams erupted from the audience. Everyone knew that only Lin Shaobai could have this title.

"He used five original songs to gradually win everyone's hearts. Of course, some people also said that they might like him because of his amazing looks."

There was another round of cheers at the scene.

What doubts are there now?
In 2017, Lin Shaobai possessed both good looks and amazing creative talent.

Logically speaking, a champion like Lin Shaobai, who came from Zhejiang TV, should be performing at Zhejiang TV's New Year's Eve concert.

However, due to some childhood experiences, he has a special feeling towards Hunan TV.

When I was a kid, I would sit in front of the TV every day watching Happy Camp, and I thought the show was so interesting.

Then the parents complained that there were a bunch of crazy people on TV and that the child was laughing like an idiot.

Happy Camp is really funny, and it's still funny to watch it again after many years.

Teacher He: "His original songs garnered over 1 million plays in less than a day after being released online. They were always at the top of various music charts. Many people called him the young Li Zongsheng. Back then, the thing I looked forward to most every week was listening to Lin Shaobai sing his original songs."

Upon hearing this series of introductions, Bruno Mars's face darkened.

Master Hua has a unique perspective on her singing style and is not very accepting of singer-songwriters who actually write good songs.

The most classic example is from the variety show "The Coming One". As a mentor, Lao Xue kept praising Mao Mao, while he was the only one who raised the microphone to refute.

“I should be different from everyone else. I never had any expectations for you, because from beginning to end, your music never passed my test once.”

Anyone with ears knows that Mao Mao's songs are really good.

Why did he have to make that comment? Isn't that just annoying?
Although it cannot be ruled out that it is a scripted variety show.

Bruno Mars said that standing in the crowd, Momo was unremarkable and had no outstanding features.

Indirectly speaking, he has no background and no good looks; his only purpose is to highlight the other popular contestants.

He certainly wouldn't dare say that now, neither to Mao Mao nor to Lin Shaobai.

Since releasing his song, Lin Shaobai's song has remained at the top of the platform's singles chart for three consecutive months, and his fan base has exploded. Now, he has 1000 million followers on Weibo, 150 million followers on his super topic, and multiple endorsements.

His fans often manage to push his super topic's activity level to the top of the celebrity rankings.

It's truly amazing that they've achieved such results at such a young age.

He went on stage wearing a sharp suit, and after the music started, he raised the microphone and began to sing.

A medley of three songs: "Love That Never Loses Contact", "If the Moon Doesn't Come" and "Quietly".

"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."

"Ugh, I'm working late again. You board the empty subway just in time for the last train."

"If the moon hasn't risen yet, the streetlights can still shine on the windowsill, illuminating the delicately blooming white camellias."

The world suddenly became so quiet, with only the sound of my heartbeat remaining.

"My resolve to love you has strengthened; at this moment, you are the only one."

Whenever these classic lyrics are sung, the entire audience sings along.

Even if you don't remember all the songs, most people can definitely hum a few lines.

Because of the song's popularity, Lin Shaobai felt like he was holding his own concert at this New Year's Eve concert venue.

When it comes to the popularity of his songs, Jay Chou is truly unmatched.

In the early years, the "Four Big, Three Little, and One Snake" group was quite good. The "Four Big" refers to Tsai Yi-Lin, Sun Yan-Tzu, Elva Hsiao, and Liang Jing-Ru.

The three are Zhang Shaohan, Yang Chenglin, and Wang Xinlin, the "Sweetheart Queen".

The club, of course, is the famous S.H.E.

The "Sweetheart Queen" faded from the spotlight for a while, but later made a comeback through "Waves 3" and gained a huge following.

During that period, the traffic was incredibly high, and we were able to hold concerts across the country.

Rainie Yang acted in some good TV dramas in her early years, later became Li Ronghao's wife, and finally embarrassed herself as a singer.

Zhang Shaohan was betrayed by his family and friends, but his songs are always full of positive energy.

After the entire audience sang along, Bruno Mars's face was even darker than before.

His face seemed to say, "Dude, you managed to turn such a big venue into a massive sing-along."
Bruno Mars' songs are not generally listened to by people other than his fans.

So right now, he's actually a little envious of singers like Lin Shaobai who have such high popularity.

No wonder Jay Chou took a liking to this contestant; even in terms of popularity, they're trying to emulate Jay Chou.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ye was watching the live stream on his phone.

All she could do was spam the comments section with things like, "Lin Shaobai is so handsome!" and "Lin Shaobai sings so well!"

"Kobayashi is really amazing," Zhou Ye said, resting his chin on his hand.

She found herself becoming increasingly infatuated with men.

Her affection for Lin Shaobai grew deeper and deeper.

I like him so much.

Meanwhile, Princess Zhang Jingyi, who was also staying in the girls' dormitory, opened the bullet screen chat box on her phone.

She thought for a long time before finally typing a line of text.

Lin Shaobai, I like you.

This comment has already blended into the group of comments.

There are so many female fans who like Lin Shaobai in this live stream that she doesn't need to say "like" to him.

However, Zhang Jingyi, who is usually reserved and a little proud, seems to only be able to express her true feelings under such circumstances.

I wonder how much internal struggle she must have gone through to say those words to my face.

After Lin Shaobai's performance was completely over, Zhang Jingyi turned off her phone and went to sleep.

She was only really interested in Lin Shaobai's affairs.

After his performance, Lin Shaobai stayed on stage and was asked a few questions by Teacher He.

It mainly expresses my hopes for 2018 and my blessings to everyone.

After finishing their conversation, they left the stage.

As soon as Lin Shaobai returned to the lounge and closed the door, his assistant, Xiao Liu, came running up to him excitedly.

"Boss, your agent, Sister Li, said that another drama has approached you. They want you to go for an audition after New Year's Day."

"what?"

"Go Go Squid! It's said that actress Yang Zi personally recommended it. The show originally asked Yang Zi to recommend male actors, and you were the first one she recommended."

Lin Shaobai was not shocked to hear this, after all, he had worked with Yang Zi before.

It's quite normal for celebrities to work out multiple times these days.

I wouldn't recommend doing any more.

After all, back then only CP fans were shipping them, and casual viewers were getting a bit tired of it.
