Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 80. I'll come find you tonight.

Three days later, Lin Shaobai and several other mentors from Produce 101 came to check the dance performance.

The second placement test was based on a direct shot of the theme song.

Each contestant has only one chance and needs to complete the entire theme song performance.

Five classes performed simultaneously.

Vocal instructors Ella and Lin Shaobai, songwriting instructor Hu Yanbing, initiator Huang Zitao, and dance instructor Wang Yibo sat around a round table, conducting real-time evaluations via monitors.

"She dances quite well."

"Very powerful, but her singing wasn't that good."

"Her rapping skills are actually quite strong."

"She's so cute!"

"She dances very well; I think she's the best dancer of all."

"The first section, section A, was actually quite good."

As we reviewed each one, the mentors provided real-time feedback and scores.

They soon arrived at Yang Chaoyue's place.

Huang Zitao: "Oh, Yang Chaoyue is here."

Ella: "Yang Chaoyue!"

Wang Yibo: "Hmm, let me see."

Thanks to her outstanding performances, Yang Chaoyue has already left a deep impression on all the mentors.

She lacked confidence when dancing to the theme song because she still wasn't very good at it.

Wang Yibo: "Did you notice? Her eyes were still glancing at the person next to her."

The movements are always a beat too slow.

Compared to the girl next to her, it's like comparing a seller's photo to a buyer's photo.

Lin Shaobai: "She didn't do it on purpose, but she couldn't balance dancing and singing."

She was jumping so wildly that we wanted to tell her to take a shower if she felt itchy.

Singing and dancing is indeed too difficult for her.

After the theme song assessment, Yang Chaoyue looked up to the sky and cried her heart out.

The tutors who were giving the scores were also helpless.

Hu Yanbing: "I think his perseverance is worthy of being in Class A."

Ella: "Because she is in a very good mental state, and if she uses that mental state in the right way, it will be very powerful."

In the end, Yang Chaoyue went to the worst class, F.

After the class placement assessment, Lin Shaobai went to record the segment where the rankings were announced.

After everything was finished, I quickly took an early morning flight back to my hotel in Shanghai.

I had just lain down in bed when I received a message from Cheng Xiao.

I heard you're in Haishang City?

【Um. 】

[Isn't the show "Produce 101" being filmed recently? That girl group survival show?]

[I rushed over to film as soon as I finished recording]

[You remember I'm coming to the factory tomorrow night to give a lesson to the trainees?]

【Remember. 】

[After the show is over, I'll treat you to a meal and ask you about that girl group.]

Lin Shaobai remembered that Cheng Xiao had kissed him on his own initiative before, and he had tried to explain, but he hadn't made it clear.

After that, Cheng Xiao visibly wanted to get closer to Lin Shaobai and tighten their relationship.

Okay, you choose a place.

I remember you rented a hotel here, right? It's over there.

【ah?】

【I can save money by cooking, why not?】

Is this what you call a "please"...?

She's really strange.

Sometimes they're proactive, sometimes they're not; sometimes they can speak their mind directly, sometimes they hold it all in.

【without.】

【Then it's a date.】

Lin Shaobai put his phone aside and quickly went to sleep, as he had to continue filming on set the next day.

……

The next day
Lin Shaobai went to the film set to shoot a scene this morning. Today's scene involved the two of them becoming a couple.

Of course, they're not a real boyfriend and girlfriend.

Due to certain special reasons, Han Shangyan admitted at the dinner party that he and Tong Nian were in a relationship.

In order to give an explanation to their parents, they had no choice but to continue playing this role.

This scene depicts a conversation between two people in a car.

After turning on the machine, Lin Shaobai sighed deeply.

The makeup artist in the show still made him look quite mature, and his skin was a bit dark.

Yang Zi: "I want to ask you a question."

Lin Shaobai turned to look at her: "Something to say?"

Yang Zi nodded: "Mm."

Lin Shaobai turned off the music in the car.

Yang Zi: "When are we breaking up?"

Lin Shaobai didn't say anything, he just glanced at her.

Yang Zi: "Because there has to be a time, so I can tell my parents."

"When do you want to break up?" Lin Shaobai stared at Yang Zi's face, even frowning slightly. "Haven't thought it through?"

Yang Zi: "How about next month? Wouldn't it be a bit too fast to distribute them during the Spring Festival? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

According to the plot, Han Shangyan has already fallen for the female lead, Tong Nian, so Lin Shaobai smiled helplessly and indulgently after hearing this.

"Okay, you decide then. Just let me know in advance when you want to break up. Until then, you're still my girlfriend. You can ask for anything you want, and I'll try my best to accommodate you."

Lin Shaobai spoke with exceptional sincerity, giving off an overwhelming sense of boyfriend charm.

Yang Zi smiled happily, but she couldn't get too excited.

This is called happiness coming too suddenly.

Lin Shaobai leaned forward a little more as she spoke and said earnestly, "I mean what I say."

Yang Zi lowered her head shyly.

Then the actress who plays Tong Nian's mother came out.

Lin Shaobai glanced at him and said, "Go back, your mother is waiting for you."

"Oh... then I'll go down first."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Lin Shaobai kept watching Yang Zi from inside the car until she got inside, then he put his hand on the steering wheel and sighed.

"Great card!!!"

End.

Lin Shaobai got out of the car, gave Yang Zi a high five, and continued walking behind the camera.

After checking and finding nothing wrong, Yang Zi suddenly nudged Lin Shaobai with her shoulder: "Hey, isn't the Idol Producer finale coming up soon?"

"Yes."

"Can you give me a hint: who will make it into the final group, and who will be the center?"

"what?"

Lin Shaobai felt that asking this question was truly incomprehensible.

How could he possibly know such a confidential matter?

He's just a vocal coach.

In these large-scale talent shows, the debut spots are usually arranged in advance with the production team, and the trainees' companies will pay for them.

The company signs a contract with the production team, so the production team knows in advance who will debut.

Generally, those who make it into the debut lineup are trainees from large companies. It is indeed more difficult for trainees from small companies or individuals to compete with capital.

The show's producers will also suddenly add trainees who were previously favored but never made it into the debut lineup to the finals.

Or, trainees who were originally in the top three might suddenly be relegated to the bottom few.

From this perspective, fan voting is a joke.

The decision of which trainee ranks and whether they make it into the debut group is ultimately made by the production team behind the scenes.

The same applies to talent shows in South Korea.

They will directly push some unpopular people into the debut positions, squeezing out those who could have made it into the debut positions.

This is what fans mean when they say that their dreams have been stolen!

It has to be admitted that most of those who debut are more successful than those who don't.

Those who didn't debut might feel disappointed on the final night, but after that, who will remember them?
