Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 73. Don't grab my feet!

After the two finished eating the glutinous rice balls, Lin Shaobai washed the bowl.

When I returned to the living room, I found that my senior sister was no longer there.

He looked around and finally found her in the room opposite his bedroom.

Zhou Ye was lying on the bed reading a book at that moment.

They watched with great interest, even wiggling their little feet back and forth.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Shaobai went in and sat down next to her.

Zhou Ye immediately handed him the book cover to look at.

"An Actor Prepares! A must-read for acting students, essential for getting ahead during winter break!"

"Oh……"

Zhou Ye casually handed another book to Lin Shaobai: "Here's another one called 'Fundamentals of Dramatic Performance.' Don't think I just play around all day; I study very seriously."

"So serious, so serious. You're the most serious."

Lin Shaobai smiled helplessly yet indulgently.

After speaking, Zhou Ye looked somewhat disappointed: "I was quite sad because I was rejected in all the previous interviews. So I must succeed next time."

Lin Shaobai thought that the movie "Better Days" would start casting actors in a few months.

Back then, Zhou Ye took the bus to the audition alone and eventually won the role of Wei Lai.

This is a deeply memorable villainous character, which makes many people afraid of her afterward.

"Read books, read books, study."

Zhou Ye muttered to himself.

Lin Shaobai looked Zhou Ye up and down, then stared at her dangling little feet.

Zhou Ye's legs were long and shapely, fair as jade, and every inch of his skin radiated an alluring glow.

Slender ankles and a slightly raised instep.

As Lin Shaobai looked at her, he suddenly grabbed her calf.

The sudden "thud" completely stunned Zhou Ye.

He was completely frozen, unable to move.

Her ankles were so thin that Lin Shaobai could wrap his arm around them with one hand.

"What are you doing?"

A moment later, Zhou Ye turned around and looked at Lin Shaobai with a flushed face.

Lin Shaobai: "I noticed your feet were moving."

"So you're going to just grab my foot?"

"Can't you?"

"That's possible. But... ah!"

Lin Shaobai suddenly tickled the sole of Zhou Ye's foot halfway through her speech.

The ticklish feeling is truly unbearable.

This thing was one of the ten most cruel tortures in ancient times.

Lin Shaobai started acting up again, scratching Zhou Ye hard when he saw how much Zhou Ye was reacting.

"Ah! Stop!"

"Lin Shaobai!"

"Please, I beg you!"

Zhou Ye couldn't stand the tickling and kept writhing on the bed until he finally begged for mercy.

The louder she begged for mercy, the more excited Lin Shaobai became.

Oh no, that's a truly twisted idea!

Lin Shaobai softened and let go, and the next second a pillow flew over.

"You're bullying me!" Zhou Ye slammed the pillow down on Lin Shaobai's face. "That's too much!"

But judging from her voice, you can tell she's not angry; she's just being coquettish.

A moment later, she took the pillow off, and Lin Shaobai pulled her into his arms again.

"Haha, this is so much fun!"

"I'm fun?"

Zhou Ye stepped out of Lin Shaobai's arms, pouted, and asked, "If you feel like you're getting the short end of the stick, come and play with me too. I'm quite fun too."

Lin Shaobai said indulgently.

"What kind of talk is that?!"

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, he felt something was off about his clothes. He looked down and his face suddenly felt hot.

After speaking, she rolled back a few times to the bedside, looking shy and bashful like a bullied little wife.

Zhou Ye glanced at Lin Shaobai, then quickly turned his head back, looking extremely shy.

After that, he didn't look at Lin Shaobai's face again during the entire conversation.

"Stop messing around, I'm studying..."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Lin Shaobai suppressed a smile and patiently stared at Zhou Ye's face: "Okay. You study."

"You're so amazing, I can't fall behind, right?"

"By the way, senior sister, if you need any help in the future, just let me know," Lin Shaobai assured her.

"Really?"

"Ah."

Lin Shaobai casually reached into his pocket; his phone had been vibrating for ages.

He quickly signaled to Zhou Ye and left the room.

It was a call from agent Sister Li.

"Hey?"

"Come to the company when you have some free time. Another talent show wants you to be their vocal coach. But last time you taught boys to sing, this time you'll be teaching girls to sing."

"Girls?"

"Wasn't 'Idol Producer' from iQiyi very popular? Tencent quickly launched its own talent show, 'Produce 101,' which is roughly the same format as yours, except that 11 girls are selected from 101 to debut."

"This program is initiated by Huang Zitao, with you and Ella serving as vocal coaches, Hu Yanbing as songwriting coach, and Wang Yibo as dance coach."

"The production team of this show has done a great job behind the scenes. I think you are suitable to be on this show."

Lin Shaobai was certainly aware of this wildly popular talent show.

It ultimately concluded with over 48 billion views, consistently ranking high on Weibo's trending topics, accumulating 150 billion reads, and winning the Annual Influential Online Variety Show Award.

Before this show came out, girl groups in China had been in a slump for a long time. Everyone watched TV dramas and no one paid attention to girl groups.

The producer of this variety show has a keen sense of opportunity; they were the first to take the plunge.

The girl group Rocket Girls 101, which emerged from the show, was extremely popular at the time.

The phrase "Burn my calories" became a nationwide hit.

It's possible that Lin Shaobai wasn't originally slated to be a vocal coach for the show, given his young age.

However, because he was at the height of his popularity, and because he was a dedicated and responsible mentor on Idol Producer with good results, they chose to add him.

"I'll explain this to you in more detail when we get to the company, remember that."

"it is good."

His agent later gave him some advice, telling him that he now has a lot of female fans and that the fans are very crazy, so he must not do anything that would hurt them.

Don't do anything that might hurt your fans before you've become truly famous.

After all, they still need fans now.

More than 40 minutes later, Lin Shaobai hung up the phone and went to Zhou Ye's room again, only to find that she had fallen asleep (-_-)zzz.

Her little face rested on the open book, and a little drool dripped out.

Lin Shaobai leaned against the door, feeling utterly helpless.

"Hey, senior sister, you fell asleep after watching for only a short while? You should have at least stayed awake for two hours!"

Lin Shaobai went over and gently turned her over, then covered her with a blanket.

The two books were also placed together on the bedside table.

Zhou Ye is sleeping soundly; he probably has no idea what's happening right now.

After dealing with these matters, Lin Shaobai closed the door to the room.

He returned to the living room and looked out the window. The moonlight was hazy; it was the Lantern Festival, and the lights were dazzling.

Bathed in moonlight, the colors of the lanterns outside appeared even softer, exuding a delicate beauty.

“An ancient Valentine’s Day,” Lin Shaobai said with a smile, picking up the small lantern Zhou Ye had given him. “It’s amazing you still remember that.”
