Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 67. That young man on the Spring Festival Gala is so handsome!

Lin Shaobai was filming on set until just before the Spring Festival, and in the middle of that, he went to Beijing for a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala.

Time quickly passed to the evening of February 15th.

The Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast live globally at 8 PM.

The backstage area of ​​the venue was now packed with countless people, and Lin Shaobai and his partners Jiang Shuying and Jing Tian were sitting together.

Jiang Shuying became popular mainly because of her early TV dramas.

She acted alongside Sun Honglei in "To Be a Better Man" and later in "Mr. Right".

She then landed the female lead role in "The King's Avatar".

Later, she starred in the highly-rated TV series "Nothing But Thirty".

Although she was the lead actress in this drama, she was criticized for having the same presence as a passerby.

The performances of Tong Yao and Mao Xiaotong in the drama were more outstanding than hers, so in the end those two won awards, while Jiang Shuying got nothing.

As for Jing Tian...

It had previously been a flop for a while, and apparently, it was even mocked by netizens as the "Sad Frog" because of its eye condition.

Later, he starred in a very popular TV series called "Si Teng".

She plays the female lead, Si Teng, a character with a great personality—a domineering queen. Such female leads are rare, which is why the character became an instant hit online.

But strangely enough, after this drama was filmed, no other good dramas were broadcast, and it completely disappeared.

Actors who have already appeared in a well-known work should be even more careful when choosing scripts.

Some minor actors may not have much say, so it's already a good thing if a script comes to them.

However, if you already have some fame and choices, you really need to be careful.

If a series of your dramas flops, when investors approach you again, they will wonder if you have the ability to carry a drama.

Your previous popularity was entirely due to luck, not because you inherently possessed the ability to carry a show.

As a result, it's become very difficult for good manuscripts to come to us.

Lin Shaobai doesn't need to worry about this. He knows which dramas will be popular in the future, and even hugely popular ones. In the end, he just needs to choose those to act in.

At this moment, Lin Shaobai was sitting in the back, sandwiched between the two older sisters.

Jing Tian has a rather cheerful personality and takes the initiative to chat with Lin Shaobai.

After greeting everyone, Jiang Shuying went to a distance to chat with some older people.

The backstage area is now all red, and even Lin Shaobai is wearing a custom-made red suit for the Spring Festival Gala.

It's a festive occasion.

After a while, Jiang Shuying returned and the three of them sat together again to be interviewed by reporters backstage.

Lin Shaobai, a dark horse who emerged in the second half of 2017, was invited to the Spring Festival Gala because his popularity rose too quickly, he had a lot of traffic, sang well, and was good-looking.

Unlike other celebrities who have been in the industry for many years and have representative works, Lin Shaobai, as a newcomer, should keep a low profile for now.

There are cameras everywhere in places like this.

If you make a slightly angry face or any other expression, netizens will make a big deal out of it and say you're being arrogant. Some haters will even curse your ancestors for 18 generations.

Lin Shaobai's program was after Jia Lin and Zhang Xiaofei's skit.

Among the sketches, the most outstanding are Jia Lin and Shen Teng, who have always focused on comedy.

These two are comedy professionals, and the sketches they produce are of very high quality.

At that time, Zhang Xiaofei was just an unknown comedy actress. Who would have thought that she would become an overnight sensation with "Hi Mom" ​​and win the Best Actress award?

Resources are rising step by step.

Although many people say that her Best Actress award was undeserved.

The competitors in the same year weren't very strong, so it was obvious that it was her that year.

Lin Shaobai got up to go to the restroom, and when he returned, he happened to run into his mentor, Jay Chou, backstage. Jay Chou was going to perform "Confession Balloon" at the 2018 Spring Festival Gala, a combination of magic and song.

Jay Chou is also a frequent guest on the Spring Festival Gala.

"Ah, Teacher Zhou." Lin Shaobai's eyes lit up when he saw Mr. Zhou walking over, and the warmth of an old acquaintance washed over him.

Jay Chou was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative to hug Lin Shaobai: "Hey, long time no see."

Lin Shaobai was Jay Chou's favorite student on that show; he was practically his prized pupil.

During this time, he learned about Lin Shaobai's progress at home and was very satisfied.

He had said long ago that Lin Shaobai had such creative ability and superior physical appearance, and that he would become famous sooner or later, and very famous.

"I told you you'd become famous sooner or later," Jay Chou said with a smile.

Lin Shaobai smiled shyly and then said, "I am very grateful to you for choosing me and for giving me so much help outside of the show."

Jay Chou: "I only gave you some advice at most. The inspiration for the song was all your own. You're amazing. Now you've been invited to the Spring Festival Gala. Come to my house sometime and I'll treat you to dinner."

"it is good."

Lin Shaobai turned around and saw Yang Zi in the corner again.

Yang Zimin's popularity speaks for itself, and she performed in the skit "At Your Service" at that year's Spring Festival Gala.

Logically, these two should be joking around as soon as they meet, but since they're backstage for the Spring Festival Gala, they can't be anything but serious.

……

At 8:30 p.m., the Spring Festival Gala started on time.

One program after another, shortly after Jia Lin's skit "The Real and Fake Teachers" ended, the host raised the microphone: "Alright, let's listen to a nice song. Please welcome Lin Shaobai, Jing Tian, ​​and Jiang Shuying to perform the song 'Praise the New Era'."

The stage beneath Lin Shaobai and the remaining two actresses slowly rose, and he, as the only male, was to stand in the center and also sing the first line of the song.

"Another spring has arrived, and the earth is full of life, with green mountains and clear waters always present."

Meanwhile, Zhang Jingyi, who was cooking at home, heard Lin Shaobai's voice and slowly walked to the TV.

"Lin Shaobai."

Zhang Jingyi patted her apron and stood in front of the TV for a long time.

how to say?

It feels a bit unreal.

What if a male classmate you went to school with suddenly appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and sang with famous actresses?!

Zhang Jingyi felt that she had fallen far behind Lin Shaobai.

I was already too afraid to confess my feelings, and now that I see how outstanding he is, I'm even less likely to confess.

I've never had this feeling before, this inexplicable sense of inferiority.

Thinking of this, she took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Shaobai.

Happy New Year! [fireworks]

After posting, I continued cooking.

Tian Xiwei, who is on winter vacation and has returned to her hometown in a mountain city, is also watching the Spring Festival Gala.

While watching a TV series, her mother pointed at Lin Shaobai and said, "Hey, this young man is quite handsome. I've never seen him before. Am I out of touch?"

Tian Xiwei: "Mom, you might not know this if you don't follow the music industry, but he's an actor."

"An actor who can sing?"

"His singing was... okay. Alright, passable."

"Mom, isn't he singing quite well? And the young man is pleasing to the eye. If you're going to find a boyfriend in the future, you should look for someone like him."

"Mom, have you lost your mind?"
