Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 88, Section 87: The male lead of "Better Days" spends the night with his senior sister (3k views)

A while ago, the production team of "Better Days" was still hesitating between Yi Yangqianxi and Lin Shaobai.

Both of them are great, I really don't know which one to choose.

As it happened, Ashes of Love was airing.

So what's the suspense now?

It has to be Lin Shaobai, the male lead of a hugely popular drama!
Handsome, a great actor, and with a built-in fanbase—who wouldn't choose such a top star?!
During the show's airing, the second male lead's fans deliberately tried to discredit Lin Shaobai.

It's like walking into the line of fire.

One of their fans posted an unflattering picture of Lin Shaobai, which led to their fan page being flooded with comments from Lin Shaobai's fans.

If you search on Weibo, you'll find nothing but unflattering and unflattering pictures of him.

This is the time when Lin Shaobai's fans are most enthusiastic, as everyone knows that new fans are always enthusiastic.

Anyone who dares to provoke Bai He at this time is just asking for trouble.

After the drama aired, Lin Shaobai rose to stardom. He was busy with filming and business deals every day, leaving him with almost no free time. His workload increased day by day.

During my free time, I started attending classes on Produce 101.

Vocal music class before the competition at the vocal music academy.

He was responsible for leading the students in practicing the song "Against the Light".

This song is also a representative work of the relatively unknown singer Sun Yanzi. She has clearly released many representative works, but I don't know why she is considered an unknown singer.

There is a beam of light.

That moment

What is causing such intense pain?

Your gaze is one of understanding.

Why can't you bear to extinguish it?

"I saw it against the light."

Those were tears.

That power

"I don't want to resist anymore."

The ten contestants in his group all sang without much problem, and they had plenty of time to practice.

At this moment, he is playing the piano, and ten contestants are singing in turn.

As a teacher, he kept nodding in encouragement.

Occasionally, someone with a problem will receive guidance.

"The lyrics you're singing now sound like papaya, or you could say your singing sounds like sugarcane. Now, try reciting a line with more feeling, like you're speaking."

"Teacher, can I look at your cardboard cutout and say it?"

Suddenly, the female trainee raised her hand and said...

"Oh hoo!"

The trainees around them were all cheering.

Lin Shaobai is currently a wildly popular top star, and he's handsome and young, so how could he not attract these trainees?

Everyone treats him like a male god.

As a result, the trainee became even more shy when he saw Lin Shaobai's life-size cardboard cutout, and couldn't even recite the lyrics.

Lin Shaobai could only keep encouraging them, and encouraged them to recite the lyrics in their respective dialects.

You need to let go of your nervousness to sing well.

"Actually, you sang really well. People who can sing harmonies can try singing them to add layers to the song."

"You did a great job just now, just sing it like you did before."

While Lin Shaobai was singing, he noticed that some of the trainees would occasionally wink at him.

It's that kind of natural and pure wink.

Lin Shaobai felt like Tang Sanzang had fallen into the Spider Cave.

These trainees already admired his looks, and now that he's famous, their admiration only intensifies!
Faced with this situation, Lin Shaobai could only turn his head away and pretend he didn't see it.

When I passed by Bozi's dance studio on my way home from get off work, I saw that he was also being teased by those trainees.

A short while later, Wang Yibo came out of the practice room.

The two happened to bump into each other, and he smiled very humbly at Lin Shaobai: "Hello, Teacher Lin."

Lin Shaobai: "You're too kind. It's not like we've never met before."

Wang Yibo: "Yes."

There was nothing that could be done; Lin Shaobai became famous first.

With the added boost of another blockbuster drama, he will firmly establish himself as a top star.

Sometimes a hit drama can make you famous overnight, but your subsequent works are equally important. For example, Gong Jun did indeed enter the top tier of the industry at that time.

These days, the dramas he makes are getting worse and worse, and people even say they're ugly.

Gradually, they fell out of the top tier.

There are too many similar examples, such as the male lead in "Go Princess Go".

How are the trainees' practice going?

"Everything's fine. How about your end?"

"Same."

"Teacher Lin is really amazing lately, Ashes of Love is a huge hit."

After a brief chat, Wang Yibo couldn't help but speak his mind.

Lin Shaobai could only politely say, "Well, the success of Aromatic Honey is thanks to the efforts of all the staff."

"Teacher Wang, the director wants to see you!"

Suddenly, a staff member in the distance called Wang Yibo away.

He patted Lin Shaobai's arm as a gesture before leaving.

Lin Shaobai soon went to the "Better Days" crew to communicate with the director.

This movie mainly tells the story of Chen Nian, a girl who is bullied by her classmates because she is from a poor family, is academically gifted, and has an introverted personality. Before the college entrance examination, she is innocently caught up in a storm and is bullied by her classmates. Later, she unexpectedly meets Xiao Bei, the male protagonist.

As the two gradually became familiar with each other, their hearts drew closer, and they developed a deep mutual appreciation.

Lin Shaobai will play the male lead, a petty hoodlum, in this movie.

He grew up on the streets, living at the bottom of society, spending his days fighting, wasting time, and hanging out in internet cafes.

In short, there is no hope and no future.

He felt redemption when he met the female protagonist.

This drama is somewhat like a story of mutual redemption between teenagers.

The male protagonist is wild, passionate, upright, and responsible. Although he appears domineering towards the female protagonist, he has principles and a bottom line, and can be quite gentle at times.

He will choose to take care of the female lead in his own way.

After having a basic conversation with the director, Lin Shaobai suddenly said, "Director, I'd like to ask, have you found an actress to play the second female lead?"

The director hesitated for a moment, looking at the applicants for Wei Lai's role: "There are a few suitable candidates, but... I feel like any of them would be suitable. I want to choose the girl who is most suitable for this role. One of a kind."

Wei Lai is the second female lead and a villain in the movie "Better Days".

She has a pure and innocent face, comes from a good family, is popular, and excels in her studies; she's the kind of girl that everyone likes at first sight.

In reality, he is vicious and extremely wicked. He bullies his classmates at school because of his privileged family background.

First of all, the actress must have the kind of beautiful, innocent look that's considered "white moonlight" in Chinese aesthetics.

Lin Shaobai looked at the photos of the interviewees and then fell silent.

Director: "We're still looking for this role, but there's no problem with the male and female leads. Xiao Zhou couldn't come today because of something, but you two can meet in a few days."

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Mm."

Director: "What do you think of our script after reading it?"

"I feel very good."

"And I'll need to shave your head then, would you be okay with that?"

"Of course you can," Lin Shaobai said with a smile.

He didn't think it was a big deal; he could even shave his head and it wouldn't matter.

After all, it's all for acting.

Some people will gain or lose weight repeatedly in a short period of time for a role, and they will also learn a skill, take relevant certificates, learn a language, etc.

But there's nothing to say about that. Since you've chosen this profession, doing these things is what you should do.

These things are best kept private; complaining about them will only make people resentful.

After all, everyone's life is pretty tough. If you have to endure this little bit of hardship to earn money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime, no one will sympathize with you.

When Lin Shaobai returned to his house in Beijing, he made a special appointment with his senior sister Zhou Ye over the weekend.

As soon as Zhou Ye entered the room, he threw himself into Lin Shaobai's arms: "It's been so long! I missed you so much!"

Lin Shaobai picked Zhou Ye up and carried him towards the sofa.

He then handed her the gift he had bought.

"For you."

Zhou Ye is still a student, so his first reaction to such expensive jewelry was to feel a little sorry for Lin Shaobai.

I felt I shouldn't accept something so expensive.

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"It's alright, this little bit of money is nothing to me. Just accept it, it's my way of showing my appreciation."

Lin Shaobai is now a wildly popular top star, raking in money from various commercial endorsements.

"Seeing my senior sister's smiling face makes it all worthwhile."

"Huh, why are you suddenly saying such cheesy things? It's making me uneasy."

Zhou Ye said with a look of disgust, but a few seconds later he threw himself into Lin Shaobai's arms and wrapped his arms around his neck: "Thank you, I like you the most."

Lin Shaobai reached out and patted Zhou Ye's waist: "By the way, there's a movie called 'Better Days,' and there's a second female lead named Wei Lai. I think she's pretty good. You could give her a try."

"Oh."

Why do you seem a bit down?

"Because I was eliminated from several previous interviews, I was worried that this...would also fail."

"It's okay, just go to the interview without worry."

Zhou Ye rubbed his face: "Why are you suddenly so eager to have me audition for this movie?"

Lin Shaobai: "Because I think you're perfect for the second female lead."

Zhou Ye glanced at the character's biography, then his lips twitched: "Isn't this a villain? You think I'm suited to play villains? You think I look like a villain?!"

My senior suddenly discovered the blind spot.

After saying that, she pinched Lin Shaobai's face and pulled it outwards forcefully: "Actually, that's what you really think of me, isn't it? You finally said it, Lin Shaobai!"

"Of course not. These kinds of villains require more acting skills; you have to portray them with nuance. The main thing is that you're pretty. You look like the kind of girl who comes from a good family, is pampered by her parents, is beautiful, and is good at studying."

Hearing Lin Shaobai's words, Zhou Ye lowered his head shyly, then tossed his long hair and said, "Hmm. It's nice to hear you praise me. Okay, then I'll go for the interview."

Lin Shaobai patted her head, then leaned against her, resting his face in her arms: "Senior sister, it's been so long, I missed you."

The position of the pillow made Zhou Ye blush: "Really?"

Lin Shaobai: "How could this be fake? It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Zhou Ye's face turned even redder.

However, she did not refuse, and hugged Lin Shaobai and kissed him: "So today, will you do push-ups, or will I do squats?"

"No, senior sister, where did you learn all this from..." Lin Shaobai laughed, annoyed.

"I saw it online, it said boyfriends would like that... What, you don't like it?"

"I like him." Lin Shaobai smiled and carried Zhou Ye to the bedroom.

A wall lamp was on in the room, its dim yellow light spreading throughout the bedroom, casting indistinct shadows of two figures tightly entwined.

Phew, another 10,000 words updated.
