Chinese entertainment: Top stars have no holidays

Jiang Bai's first fashion night out was actually quite boring.

The ceremony was simple, with awards presentations and performances interspersed throughout.

Since he was invited, Jiang Bai naturally received an award, and even went on stage to receive a Newcomer Artist Award.

This award sounds prestigious, but it's actually just a consolation prize.

Interestingly, after Jiang Bai received her award on the simple stage, the guest performer who came on stage was the Lady Bees.

This group has been in development since 2015, but it has consistently flopped. At that time, there was no market for idols in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But in the next few years, the members of this group will make something of themselves.

Liu Yuxin, Kong Xueer, Xu Mengjie, and others made it through "Produce 101" and "Youth With You 2" respectively, securing debut spots.

They each became members of limited-time groups and enjoyed a period of popularity.

Jiang Bai watched with great interest the still-naive Kong Xueer and others on stage, but was greatly disappointed.

Their professional skills are very poor.

Although Han is arrogant, he is indeed quite good at idol groups and has a high level of professional skills.

The domestic idol market is expected to boom in the next few years, with various talent shows forming groups, seemingly indicating a thriving idol economy.

But after the hype died down, none of them actually pursued the idol path; they all went on to act in TV dramas.

Even Ju Jingyi, who was most committed to the idol path, had to transition into acting.

It's safe to say that creating idols and idols in the country is a dead end.

Next up was Jike Junyi, who took the stage to sing. This singer, who came from The Voice of China, ignited the atmosphere with her energetic singing and dancing.

During a break in the awards ceremony, Jiang Bai, feeling a bit bored, took out his phone and quickly glanced at the feedback on the second trailer for "A Love So Beautiful".

The trailer's views have been steadily increasing, and the comments section is currently filled with positive feedback and anticipation.

Xiaotian, a complete newcomer, has also gained a lot of attention.

It might not be the best way to put it, but in terms of looks alone, Xiao Tian is definitely more likely to attract fans than Shen Yue, the female lead in the original timeline.

Having a sweet appearance has its advantages; female fans are more likely to fall for it, and male fans also like it.

Shen Yue is certainly beautiful, but her ability to attract fans is only average.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but chuckle when he saw several comments praising Xiao Tian's sweet looks in the comments section.

If they knew that Xiaotian was constantly using alternate accounts to patrol the Jiangbai Super Topic Square and fighting with anti-fans until the main channel was completely wiped out, I wonder what they would think.

Around 10 p.m., the film and television night finally came to a close.

After a brief farewell to Hu Xia and Wang Dongcheng, Jiang Bai left the scene under the escort of his assistant.

He will be heading to Hengdian tomorrow to prepare for filming "Legend of Yunxi".

At the same time, photos of him with Hu Xia and Jiro Wang also appeared on his Weibo account.

The press release prepared in advance by the studio's publicity team was immediately released.

Jiang Bai appeared at the awards ceremony and won the Best New Artist award, receiving recognition!

Coupled with the organizer's own press release, a number of Jiang Bai's red carpet photos appeared on Weibo, making his fans, known as "white rice fans," quite drool over them.

"Who understands! I saw Jiang Bai's red carpet photos and immediately started saving them like crazy. From the stage to the red carpet, he shines in every aspect. My treasure artist is finally being seen by more people!"

"I'm totally drooling over this! Jiang Bai's profile on the red carpet is killing me a thousand times over!!"

"Help! Jiang Bai looked amazing on the red carpet! He truly deserved the Best New Artist award; he's got both good looks and talent. Seeing him gain recognition step by step makes me so proud!"

"Who hasn't seen Jiang Bai's red carpet photos yet?! The organizers are so good at taking pictures, they perfectly captured his charisma. Plus, with the Newcomer Award, today is another day of being crazy about Jiang Bai~"

A fashion event that was only a second-tier event somehow managed to be pushed to the bottom of the trending topics list by Jiang Bai's fans without any purchase of trending topics.

Many in the industry took notice and began to pay attention to this suddenly popular newcomer.

......

The next day, Jiang Bai set off for Hengdian early in the morning.

After a four-hour drive, he arrived at the hotel arranged by the "Legend of Yunxi" production team.

"You know what," Jiang Bai said to his assistant, looking quite energetic as he got out of the car, "If you're going to work in Hengdian long-term, it'll be quite convenient to settle down in Shanghai."

"I just don't know why so many celebrities in the entertainment industry like to settle down in Beijing."

Jiang Bai is inclined to stay in Shanghai permanently in the future, mainly because if you add up the time he has spent living in Shanghai over his two lifetimes, it will almost be as long as he has lived in his hometown.

If he can't return to his hometown to live because of work, he will definitely choose Shanghai; he's not going to settle down in a new city.

However, in the entertainment industry, about 90% of the artists reside in Beijing, while the remaining 9% are originally from Shanghai and reside there permanently.

Unfortunately, in the acting industry alone, several leading film and television companies are based in Beijing.

Moreover, the headquarters of mainstream media outlets are all located in Beijing.

The Beijing elite circle is particularly renowned.

Celebrities need to frequently contact these organizations when participating in variety show recordings, accepting media interviews, and managing their online presence.

Living in Beijing can indeed greatly improve work efficiency.

However, Jiang Bai's company is Huace, which is based in the Yangtze River Delta region and does not rely much on resources in Beijing. Living in Shanghai is also quite good.

"Actually, most actors who are based in Hengdian for filming choose to buy a house there," the assistant chimed in. "After all, houses in Hengdian aren't expensive."

"I feel more at ease living in my own house."

Jiang Bai shrugged: "I think staying in a hotel is fine."

The production team of "Legend of Yunxi" has indeed shown great sincerity.

They booked a business suite in the Hengdian International Trade Building for Jiang Bai to stay in for three months.

That's right, there is a hotel in Hengdian called Guomao Building.

This is a four-star hotel, but don't be fooled by its four-star rating; it's actually a large, luxurious 18-story hotel.

It has its own stadium with an area of ​​over 1100 square meters, as well as a billiards room, a pool room, and a karaoke room.

As for gyms, executive bars, foot massages, saunas, and the like, they are standard features and not worth mentioning.

It's fair to say that celebrities living here can meet all their daily needs without leaving the house, and also enjoy entertainment.

The production team originally wanted to book a presidential suite for Jiang Bai, but there was only one presidential suite available, and it had already been booked.

The person checking in is Yang Mi. She's currently filming "Legend of Fuyao" in Hengdian and checked in on June 9th.

Therefore, the production team of "Legend of Yunxi" had to settle for second best and booked a business suite for Jiang Bai that was second only to the presidential suite.

However, Siba is very stingy with his own family.

They only booked a regular suite for Ju Jingyi, the female lead, and didn't even book a deluxe suite.

No wonder Siba is known as an idol den.

After putting his luggage back into the huge business suite, Jiang Bai's assistant and stylist stayed in the room to help him put together his personal outfit, while Jiang Bai himself went to a gathering of the main cast and crew.

The gathering was also held at the hotel, which also offers a variety of banquet rooms, capable of accommodating banquets ranging from 10 to 3000 people.

Meanwhile, in a private room in the restaurant on the third floor, the cast and crew of "Legend of Yunxi" were already seated.

The female lead, Ju Jingyi, was also sitting there, glancing at the doorway every now and then.

She was extremely curious about the business partner she was about to meet.

It's worth noting that "Legend of Yunxi" was originally intended for her as the lead actress; it was a commissioned drama that the company was heavily promoting.

As a result, just before filming was about to begin, the original male lead was suddenly dropped by the production team and replaced with Jiang Bai, who had recently gained fame in the industry.

And her billing order dropped from first to second, she didn't even have the chance to be billed as an equal.

Ju Jingyi didn't complain about this at all.

She is a very pragmatic person. Rather than doing something herself, she chose to be paired with a completely unknown third-tier male actor.

She would rather lower her billing and act alongside a popular male actor.

Anyway, the script won't be changed much, and she will still be the leading lady with a strong presence.

The change of the male lead from Han Sang to Jiang Bai significantly boosted the show's appeal.

Last night, Ju Jingyi even saw the trailer for Jiang Bai's new drama "A Love So Beautiful" on Weibo.

Within two hours of the trailer's release, it garnered over 2000 comments and tens of thousands of shares!

At least during June and July, Jiang Bai's popularity may not be considered top-tier, but it is definitely comparable to that of A-list celebrities.

Ju Jingyi, who currently has no achievements in the film and television industry and whose fame is limited to theater idols and wallpapers and avatars for primary and secondary school students online, is truly astonishing!

The same is true for the other main actors in the production.

Lin Siyi, Xu Jiaqi, and others, who also come from the same company, are less famous than Ju Jingyi, and they are even more eager to see if this unexpected male lead can carry them to new heights.

Meanwhile, supporting actors like Mi Re and Wang Youshuo, who debuted earlier than Jiang Bai, were somewhat apprehensive.

I wonder what this hot newcomer, hailed as the "dark horse of May" by fans, is like, and whether he's easy to get along with.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the door to the private room was opened.

Jiang Bai, dressed in simple casual clothes, walked in from outside.

Hi everyone!
