Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 66. Playing the eldest brother must be fun, right?
The plot is roughly about Han Shangyan, played by Lin Shaobai, whose team lost a match in Singapore, and his teammates were blaming each other on the way back.

Lin Shaobai, as the boss, scolded them and got out of the car to get some fresh air, then went to an internet cafe to play games all night.

Here he met the receptionist, Tong Nian, played by Yang Zi.

Lin Shaobai was wearing a black down jacket, his hair was slicked back, and his expression was particularly cold.

Director: "Action!"

Lin Shaobai walked to the front desk of the internet cafe. Yang Zi was so tired from staying up all night to watch the internet cafe that she was slumped over the table.

Lin Shaobai looked at Yang Zi and said, "I'll book you for the whole night."

Yang Zi stood up with a helpless expression, but her eyes lit up after glancing at Lin Shaobai.

She portrayed the look in a young girl's eyes when she falls in love at first sight exceptionally well.

Although Yang Zi has received a lot of criticism, it must be admitted that she has excellent acting skills.

In fact, the most important thing for an actor is their eyes. The worst thing is to distort their facial features to express the character's psychology, otherwise it becomes a crazy kind of acting.

Even a normal person wouldn't go this crazy.

Lin Shaobai glanced at Yang Zi as she slowly raised her head, looking at her coldly.

Yang Zi's heart raced the moment she saw Lin Shaobai's cold and serious handsome face, and she stood up abruptly.

He practically had "Wow, what a handsome guy!" written all over his face.

Then, with a lovesick look on her face and a smirk on her lips, she stared intently at Lin Shaobai, but didn't say a word.

Lin Shao's face was cold.

Although she had no expression, she seemed to be saying, "What's this woman doing here?"

"All night."

Lin Shaobai repeated it again.

Yang Zi looked rather shy, but tried to remain calm: "Um... could you please give me your ID card?"

Lin Shaobai immediately took out his ID card from his clothes and handed it to Yang Zi.

Yang Zi: "Thank you."

Lin Shaobai crossed his arms, frowned, and looked down.

He stood very straight, exuding the aloof and cool male god vibe.

Yang Zi carefully watched Lin Shaobai the whole time she entered his ID information.

She would purse her lips every now and then, showing the shyness of meeting her sweetheart.

After entering the information, the ID card should have been returned directly, but because the female protagonist liked the male protagonist at this moment, she said a few more things out of selfishness.

Yang Zi: "Here, the overnight stay is from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning. We usually close at 7 p.m., but you can leave if you want to."

He looked down at his ID card as he spoke.

Yang Zi: "We have instant noodles here at night. If you get hungry, you can tell me and I can cook you instant noodles anytime."

After listening, Lin Shaobai turned around and reached out his hand.

Yang Zi blinked her big eyes, looking confused: "Huh?"

Lin Shaobai: "ID card."

"Oh! Here you go!"

Yang Zi quickly handed over her ID card with both hands, watching Lin Shaobai's departing figure.

The smile on his lips was still so infatuated, it felt even harder to suppress than an AK47.

Director: "Cut! That's good!!!"

Because of their previously high level of chemistry, the two were able to film the scene in one take.

The director was very satisfied, thinking that the casting was fantastic.

After the filming ended, Lin Shaobai leaned against the wall next to him, and Yang Zi walked over and gave him a high five.

"Our teamwork is absolutely perfect!"

Lin Shaobai smiled and said, "Yes."

Yang Zi: "It's strange, but you're really good at playing these aloof, serious, and handsome guys. You're pretty good!"

Let's tidy up and move on to the next scene.

Lin Shaobai walked to his seat in the internet cafe and put down his black bag.

Yang Zi, a devoted fan, secretly followed him over, staring intently at Lin Shaobai. Her focused gaze even led to a misunderstanding with a bald man. Lin Shaobai sat down, peeled a piece of candy, put on his headphones, and started playing a game.

Yang Zi peeked at him from the corner of the wall, her face full of shy girlish charm.

After a while, she decided to cook Lin Shaobai a bowl of instant noodles.

He took out a lot of side dishes from the cabinet and also stole some chocolate from the internet cafe owner.

Yang Zi plays a second-year graduate student who comes here mainly to help out at the shop.

Who would have thought he would meet his true love?

After a while, she made a super deluxe instant noodle dish.

It contains eggs, chicken feet, and various side dishes.

She placed the instant noodles and chocolate on a plate and walked towards Lin Shaobai with a smile.

In her imagination, Han Shangyan, played by Lin Shaobai, would stand up and look at Yang Zi with a gentle smile, praising her for making delicious noodles and saying she was very cute, and they would exchange contact information.

But in reality, when Yang Zi walked over with the noodles, Lin Shaobai did not react at all, as was the script.

Yang Zi: "Hello?"

Lin Shaobai stared at the screen without saying a word: "..."

Yang Zi: "Hello?"

Lin Shaobai: "..."

Seeing that there was no other way, Yang Zi poked Lin Shaobai's shoulder with her hand: "Hello."

Lin Shaobai took off his headphones and glanced at her.

Yang Zi quickly greeted them warmly: "Hello, this is our internet cafe's late-night snack set meal."

Lin Shaobai: "Oh, how much?"

Yang Zi waved her hand: "I don't want this set meal—"

"forty!!"

At a crucial moment, the actor playing the internet cafe owner ran over and interrupted their conversation.

Yang Zi's smiling face immediately fell, and she glared at her boss, threatening him.

After being threatened, the boss quickly changed his tune: "The set meal is thirty yuan."

Yang Zi whispered from behind, "What 30? It's free, okay?"

Boss: "Yes."

Yang Zi: "No."

Lin Shaobai looked back at them speechlessly, then took out 30 yuan: "Could you please get me another bottle of juice?"

Yang Zi was very depressed.

She originally intended to do someone a favor, but she was misunderstood as a salesperson.

"Great card!!!"

The director yelled "Cut!" at that moment, very satisfied.

Yang Zi and Lin Shaobai then went to the director to see how their performance was going.

To be honest, Yang Zi really acted very well.

That kind of girlish crush is really cute.

Yang Zi was also very satisfied with her co-star Lin Shaobai when she watched the film.

"I didn't realize you were so manly when you were acting in this drama, Lin Shaobai."

The makeup artist for this drama will also make Lin Shaobai look more mature and composed, since the male lead is a few years older than the female lead.

With the makeup and styling done, all he needed to do was shape the character.

When looking at people, you should be cold, serious, and indifferent, but you can't lose basic manners.

The arrogant, cocky, cold, and rude guy isn't the male lead in an idol drama; he's an idiot.

Yang Zi patted Lin Shaobai on the back: "You look really handsome in all black. You'll definitely charm a lot of girls after this airs."

Lin Shaobai: "Thanks. I play the eldest brother in this drama, so I'll definitely be dressed in all black most of the time."

"Playing the eldest brother must be so much fun, right?! Managing so many people." Yang Zi laughed.
