Chinese entertainment: Top stars have no holidays

Chapter 101 A good woman is afraid of a persistent man; Ali is rich and willful!

After a second battle, Jiang Bai utterly defeated Li Yitong.

This time, Li Yitong really exhausted all her strength; she didn't even have the energy to curse anymore.

She didn't even bother to put on her clothes, panting as she turned her back, only showing Jiang Bai her back view, clearly still angry.

However, she is not a girl who can keep things bottled up inside.

A moment later, Li Yitong turned around again and asked, "So what exactly is our relationship?"

"You have a girlfriend and you won't tell me?"

"who is she?"

Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow and, ignoring Li Yitong's resistance, pulled her into his arms.

"If you're willing, we can definitely be boyfriend and girlfriend."

Jiang Baizhen had no intention of merely having a platonic friendship with Li Yitong.

His previous words weren't exactly a lie to Li Yitong; he genuinely liked Sister Xue.

Although Li Yitong is five years older than him, Jiang Bai is mentally much older!

Moreover, Li Yitong really doesn't look like someone who's almost 30 years old. If you said they were Li Yitong's sister when they went out together, people would probably believe it.

In addition, Li Yitong's personality is the kind that Jiang Bai likes very much.

If possible, he would certainly like to have a long-term relationship with Li Yitong.

He's a top celebrity now. He's not breaking the law or committing any crimes, so what's wrong with dating a couple more girlfriends?

The only problem now is getting Li Yitong on board.

As for Tian Xiwei, it will definitely be kept from her.

A 20-year-old girl and a 27-year-old mature woman are still different.

Besides, Li Yitong was a newcomer!

"You know her?" Having thought it through, Jiang Bai bluntly revealed the truth to Li Yitong: "It's Tian Xiwei!"

"Our friendship dates back to when we were both very young and insignificant."

"At that time, I was a newcomer with only one drama where I played the second male lead and was waiting to be released, and she was also a complete newcomer."

"We developed feelings for each other while filming, but we restrained ourselves."

"Until the time A Love So Beautiful aired, due to the frequent promotional work for the drama, my relationship with her became uncontrollable and completely evolved."

Li Yitong felt a pang of sadness, but she had no choice but to listen; she needed to understand Jiang Bai's current relationship status!

"Besides her, is there anyone else?" Li Yitong's impression of Jiang Bai was now that he was a scumbag, and she was afraid that he had more than one girlfriend.

"Of course not." Jiang Bai pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "Sister Xue, how can you look at me like that?"

"I'm really not a casual person. I never dated when I was in school. Xiaotian was my first love."

"As for you, we couldn't help ourselves, and I genuinely like you too."

Jiang Bai didn't mention the word "love," but his subtle expression of liking made Li Yitong believe him even more.

After all, she is quite good, so it's only natural that Jiang Bai would like her.

If it weren't for Tian Xiwei's incident, Li Yitong would be extremely satisfied.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"I never expected this." Li Yitong, having fully grasped the situation, shook her head and sighed, "You guys are actually for real."

"Everyone thought you were just creating a CP (couple pairing) image, since you were so open about it, it didn't seem like something a couple would do."

What's this called?

This is called going against the grain, this is called the darkest place under the lamp!

Not only fans, but even most people in the industry thought that Jiang Bai and Tian Xiwei's overwhelming CP promotion was all just hype.

Real couples wouldn't dare to go this far; if they were exposed, the backlash would be severe.

Li Yitong was extremely depressed.

So what is she now?

Without even asking any questions, she just offered herself up to Jiang Bai to sleep with.

Li Yitong gritted her teeth, cursing herself inwardly as a vicious woman, and said, "Then can you break up with her?"

"I can be with you if you break up with her!"

"Tongtong, you're the one who came later!" Jiang Bai shook his head.

Breaking up is impossible.

Jiang Bai's words were quite sincere; he truly cherished the friendship he had built with Tian Xiwei from humble beginnings.

That's why he was so open with Li Yitong, but planned to keep it a secret from Tian Xiwei, letting her be a happy girl who knew nothing.

"Don't call me Tongtong!"

Looking at Jiang Bai's handsome face, Li Yitong wished she could punch him twice in the face.

It's a pity I can't bear to part with it.

"Then let's consider today's incident a mistake!"

She could only say in a harsh tone, "Consider it a mistake on my part. From now on, let's go our separate ways and never mention today's events again."

"No way!" Jiang Bai changed his form of address again: "Sister Xue, are you just going to give up like this?"

"No one can predict the future, so why don't we start talking about it?"

"I am sincere towards you."

"Hehe." Li Yitong gave a forced smile: "But you have several parts of sincerity."

That's nonsense. There were only two portions available for the time being, so Naza didn't get one.

Jiang Bai watched silently as Li Yitong got up and dressed, without stopping her any further.

He didn't expect to be able to persuade Li Yitong in one go.

Since she's already here and can't escape, letting Li Yitong go back and calm down might not be a bad thing.

Moreover, it's rare to see Li Yitong with a cold expression.

Jiang Bai also got up, put on his clothes, and followed Li Yitong to the door.

"In short, we have absolutely no relationship." Before leaving, Li Yitong gave Jiang Bai a harsh warning: "Put away your sweet dreams!"

"From now on, we'll just be ordinary colleagues on the film crew!"

really?

Jiang Bai shrugged noncommittally.

The following day, filming resumed as scheduled.

Li Yitong remained unchanged, her attitude towards Jiang Bai and others remained the same.

Jiang Bai did the same, and even in front of Li Yitong, he talked to Chen Duling about the duo queue game from the previous night.

Yes, after seeing Li Yitong off, Jiang Bai even played online games with Chen Duling.

This was arranged in advance, so we can't stand people up.

However, Jiang Bai really didn't have any other thoughts about Chen Duling.

Although this girl is beautiful and has a great temperament, she seems to be able to please both parents and children.

But Jiang Bai mostly saw her as a gaming pro, just using her to boost his rank.

Yes, at least for now.

However, the observant Jiang Bai noticed that whenever he chatted with Chen Duling, Li Yitong's gaze would fall on them, and he could see that she seemed to be grinding her molars.

Hey.

Jiang Bai pretended not to see it.

It wasn't until after work that he went to knock on Li Yitong's door late at night.

"Tongtong, Li Xue, Sister Xue~"

"Open the door!"

He's much more shameless than Li Yitong.

Fearing that Jiang Bai might linger at her door for too long and be seen by other members of the crew, Li Yitong hurriedly opened the door and pulled him inside.

"What are you shouting at the door!"

"How come I never noticed this shameless side of you before?"

Jiang Bai smiled without saying a word, then changed the subject, saying, "Sister Xue, you saw me chatting with Chen Duling this afternoon, were you jealous?"

"I'd never be jealous of you!" Li Yitong retorted immediately.

"I saw you grinding your teeth there, looking like you wanted to devour me alive," Jiang Bai said confidently.

Li Yitong was speechless and simply skipped the topic: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, hurry back to your room."

"Yes." We're already inside; how can we just say a few words?

Jiang Bai put his hands on Li Yitong's shoulders, turned her around, and pushed her towards the living room.

"I'm just here to explain to you that there's really nothing between Dudu and me. We're just gaming buddies, it's pure friendship."

"Don't overthink it."

"Who's thinking nonsense!" Li Yitong muttered softly, "I have nothing to do with you, why are you talking to Tian Xiwei about this?"

""

ho.

This is like one wave of jealousy followed by another.

Jiang Bai's mind raced, and he deliberately said, "She trusts me a lot and never overthinks things."

"Jiang Bai, what do you mean!" Li Yitong exclaimed angrily. "I think she trusted the wrong person. You're such a fickle person!"

"He's such a womanizer!"

After saying that, she forcefully kicked Jiang Bai out.

Jiang Bai wasn't annoyed, nor did he insist on staying; he simply let her push him out.

He came to see Li Yitong today to confirm something.

Li Yitong was indeed jealous, and that's enough.

As long as she still cares about him, Jiang Bai is confident he can win Li Yitong over.

A good woman is afraid of a persistent suitor.

In the days that followed.

Every day after work, Jiang Bai would run to Li Yitong's door and knock on it.

At first, he would be kicked out within minutes or ten minutes of entering the room.

But gradually, he began to spend more and more time in the room.

Li Yitong would no longer mention Tian Xiwei to him, and the two would talk about their past experiences, thoughts, and values.

One night a week later, after Jiang Bai's persistent pleading, he successfully climbed into Li Yitong's bed again.

Once you start something, it can get out of control.

After a passionate encounter, leaving her flushed and red-faced, Li Yitong poked her head out from under the covers, thinking with a hint of disappointment.

Li Yitong, Li Yitong, how did you fall for this philanderer's tricks again!

Didn't we agree to go back to being just ordinary colleagues?

There's no such thing as a colleague going to bed with someone else.

But another little voice inside her had a problem.

Who could resist a man who perfectly matches their ideal partner in every way, someone who would fall for them the moment they saw their face, and who showers them with affection every day?

Even the most virtuous woman is afraid of a persistent suitor, let alone a soft-hearted woman like her.

He's so serious about me, he must care about me!

Give up the resistance!

Just like Jiang Bai said, anything can happen in the future, so there's nothing wrong with just getting along like this for now.

Jiang Bai isn't married!

That night, Li Yitong did not kick Jiang Bai out of the room again.

He slept soundly in Li Yitong's room until dawn, and only left when his assistant was about to arrive.

In the days that followed, the two acted like a married couple on set.

Li Yitong didn't ask Jiang Bai again about their relationship.

No one has mentioned the name Tian Xiwei since.

Jiang Bai only got a new nickname. Li Yitong never called him by his name in private, but only called him "womanizer".

Jiang Bai also completely took it as an affectionate nickname.

However, this life of being a groom every day must come to an end.

Jiang Bai, who thought he could stay on set until filming wrapped, broke his promise again.

He has to go to Shanghai to participate in the Tmall Double 11 Carnival Night.

There was nothing we could do; the organizers had given us too much money.

In 2017, Alibaba was at its peak, incredibly wealthy.

Half of the entertainment industry was invited to perform at the Double Eleven shopping festival.

Jiang Bai, the hottest male celebrity this summer, is of course also present.

Alibaba offered him 200 million for one song, the same price as Kris Wu!

You can earn 200 million just by going on stage and singing "Slowly Like You".

Not only him, but also Tian Xiwei, the two will be singing a duet of "How Much I Like You, You Will Know" together at the Tmall Double 11 Carnival Night.

This song has a budget of 300 million, with Jiang Bai taking 200 million and Tian Xiwei taking 100 million.

The difference in treatment between male and female celebrities is evident.

However, internet companies are still the most generous with their money!

The generosity of major internet companies has truly left traditional film and television capital far behind.

This kind of commercial deal, costing four million for two songs, is something no one in the industry could afford. No wonder the Tmall Double 11 Gala was able to invite most of the entertainment industry's artists.

Jiang Bai had no reason to refuse.

He could only apologize and ask the production team for two more days off, preparing to fly to Shanghai on the morning of November 10th, have a rehearsal in the afternoon, and perform on stage the next day.

Upon learning this news, Li Yitong didn't say anything, but refused to open the door for Jiang Bai that night.

In the following days, the thought of Jiang Bai and Tian Xiwei singing together on stage and creating a sweet CP (couple) image made her feel a little jealous.

Having seen through this, Jiang Bai could only comfort her, saying that after "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" airs, the two of them will definitely have to promote themselves as a couple.

Everything that's missing will be made up for for Li Yitong.

Another night of frenzied revelry.

"How could I have fallen for a womanizer like you?" Li Yitong asked this question in frustration for the nth time afterward.

"Maybe it's because I'm so charming," Jiang Bai said contentedly, lying on the bed with Li Yitong in his arms.

During this time, he had figured out that Sister Xue was all talk and no action. She would say that she would draw a line and only be colleagues, but in the end, she would still fall for him and let him stay overnight every night.

On November 10th, Jiang Bai took an early morning flight and returned to Shanghai.

There are so many celebrities in Shanghai today...

So many fans that the entire Shanghai Hongqiao Airport was packed with fans of celebrities from morning till night.

Of course, white rice is also indispensable in Jiangbai.

His public schedule is posted on the official Weibo account of the Drama Cute Studio.

Now, the "Cute Studio" is basically Jiang Bai's personal studio. He hasn't signed any other artists, and all the work revolves around him.

Surrounded by fans, Jiang Bai signed some autographs and posed for several group photos before leaving the airport.

Although he became very popular, his attitude towards fans remained unchanged. Whenever he met fans in person, he would try his best to meet their requests.

After all, fans who travel thousands of miles to follow their idols are all core fans, so they must be treated well!

As usual, the organizer's car was already waiting outside the airport. After picking up Jiang Bai, they took him directly to the hotel that the organizer had booked.

Jiang Bai is now receiving top-tier treatment when attending business events.

Interestingly, although he became one of the new top four celebrities, Yang Yang was still very resilient and was not overtaken by Jiang Bai.

Now everyone in the industry is using the "Four Heavenly Kings" meme, and it's common knowledge that there are five of the four top male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Jiang Bai strongly suspects that this is a marketing campaign orchestrated by Jia Shikai. Even if Yang Yang is ranked fifth among the top four celebrities, it won't make him fall out of the top ranks.

Back to the point.

After arriving at the hotel and resting for a while, Jiang Bai, as arranged by the organizers, took a car to the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the venue for this year's Cat Night.

His rehearsal time was scheduled for this time, with a one-hour rehearsal period, which theoretically could not be exceeded, as it would affect the rehearsals of other artists later on.

Upon arrival at the venue, it was already a scene of bustling activity.

The lighting team, stage design team, filming team, and band team were all on duty, and countless staff members were running back and forth to adjust the equipment.

Dancers and artists' management teams moved about, and the huge venue was brightly lit and bustling with people, exuding the grandeur of a top-level gala.

As Jiang Bai entered the backstage guest rest area, he immediately spotted Tian Xiwei, who had been waiting there for a long time.

The little girl was dressed in simple casual clothes, her long hair was casually tied up, and her face was covered with light makeup. She looked clean and pure, exuding a well-behaved and gentle temperament.

She didn't join in the chatter or gossip; she just stood quietly in the corner waiting, looking incredibly well-behaved, not at all like the person who dominates the internet.

The two hadn't seen each other for quite some time.

The two haven't seen each other for a month since Xiaotian's birthday, and they usually keep in touch via WeChat.

Upon their long-awaited reunion, the moment their eyes met, Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up instantly, her joy barely concealed, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Because there were too many staff members around, she didn't dare to make any overly intimate gestures. She simply walked up quietly and said softly, "You've arrived?"

"Yes, we just landed." Jiang Bai nodded slightly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two tacitly fell silent and followed the staff to the stage rehearsal area.

You should still be careful in public.

According to the rehearsal order, the duet stage will be rehearsed first, followed by Jiang Bai's solo rehearsal.

The song "How Much I Like You, You'll Know" isn't exactly a classic, but Jiang Bai has sung it countless times, to the point that he knows it by heart.

However, the stage sound field and sound recording effect of the live gala are vastly different from those of a recording studio or a small venue.

The empty venue has a heavy echo and a floating rhythm, which is extremely challenging for singers' live performance skills.

During the first full rehearsal with accompaniment, Tian Xiwei made a small mistake.

Things like stage positioning and stage design coordination are all easy to discuss.

The two are actors, so they are very familiar with how to move in front of the camera. The production team only needs to give them a few instructions, and they can handle it very well.

However, during the performance, Xiaotian's breath became slightly unsteady, and her rhythm was slightly off by half a beat, failing to perfectly match the accompaniment rhythm and being half a beat slow.

It was originally just a minor flaw, but because she was a beat late, she got nervous and her voice cracked.

The music director stopped playing.

In fact, this kind of on-site rehearsal is just pre-recorded for the actors.

During tomorrow's live stream, the two of them will only be partially mic-activated, and the most perfect version from today's rehearsal will be played live.

If a suitable version cannot be recorded within the allotted rehearsal time, it will affect the rehearsal schedule for subsequent artists.

So after making the mistake, Tian Xiwei immediately put her hands together under her chin and said apologetically to the music team and the production team, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm so sorry."

"I didn't control my breathing properly and messed up the transition. Could you all please help me go through it again? I've adjusted now."

Her attitude was sincere, and her actions were adorable.

Several female directors were immediately amused by her adorable appearance.

The atmosphere at the scene was very relaxed.

Jiang Bai, who was watching from the sidelines, took in the whole scene and was also captivated by Xiao Tian's adorable actions.

At the same time, a flash of inspiration struck him, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

During a break in rehearsals, Jiang Bai called out to her, "Xiao Tian."

Tian Xiwei immediately turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"I have a question for you." Jiang Bai looked at her seriously, "Do you want to sing? Release a single, or try your hand at being a singer?"

"I suddenly had an inspiration, and I feel like writing this would make a song that would be perfect for you!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei was instantly stunned.

Her eyes widened, filled with anticipation, as she asked, "Was the inspiration for this song written specifically for me?"

Seeing her expectant and excited expression, Jiang Bai nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I wrote this especially for you."

"It's only suitable for you to sing."

"Then I'll sing!" Tian Xiwei's smile instantly burst forth.

She doesn't care whether the song will become a hit, whether it will increase her popularity, or whether it will lead to her receiving resources.

She only cared about one thing: Jiang Bai wanted to write a song especially for her!

It's a song that belongs only to her!

A 20-year-old girl is at the age when she yearns for romance.

Jiang Bai's song, written specifically for her, truly captured Xiao Tian's heart and made her incredibly happy.

It's so great to have a boyfriend like that!
