Chinese entertainment: Top stars have no holidays

Chapter 87 TV Interview, Let's Start a Game!

Jiang Bai and Tian Xiwei's Instagram accounts were actually registered not long ago.

The company was registered and certified about a week ago.

The main reason was that "A Love So Beautiful" had become a huge hit in Southeast Asia, leading to a flood of offers and invitations for the two actors. It was then that their management teams began to manage and maintain their popularity overseas.

In less than ten days, Jiang Bai’s newly registered Instagram account gained more than two million followers, and the inbox was flooded with messages, comments and private messages.

The screen is covered with dense red dots, and the refresh rate is so fast that the content is not visible to the naked eye.

The sensation caused by his arrival in Thailand sparked heated discussions on the local internet in Southeast Asia.

So in just a few hours, his personal account's number of followers surged again, soaring from 2.65 million to over 3 million, an astonishing growth rate.

To be fair, his handsome face, which appeals to men, women, young and old, is the result of a lot of effort.

If it were Hu Yitian, even if "A Love So Beautiful" became a hit in Southeast Asia, he personally would never have gained so many fans.

In today's world, the primary goal for gaining fans is to be handsome or beautiful.

Fortunately, Jiang Bai, with his deep and striking features, is quite attractive to female fans in Southeast Asia.

Compared to the formulaic comment control and elaborate praise that domestic fans are familiar with.

The comments from these newly joined overseas fans were remarkably sincere, enthusiastic, vivid, and straightforward.

The comments were flooded with English, Thai, Vietnamese, and Malay messages, filled with love and praise.

Countless fans flooded the screen with comments.

Some people are captivated by his good looks and charisma, while others are deeply moved by the gentle and affectionate character of Jiang Chen.

Some people remarked on the heartwarming and uplifting nature of "A Love So Beautiful," while many fans left messages expressing their anticipation for tomorrow's fan meeting.

Jiang Bai, with his calm and composed nature, did not become obsessed with the surge in traffic and popularity. Instead, he patiently scrolled through the screen and carefully selected a few of the most liked and sincere comments from casual fans to reply to one by one.

Faced with a long review in Thai, the fan said that he had watched "A Love So Beautiful" five times, loved him so much, and even went out of his way to watch "Rush to the Dead Summer," which was not broadcast in Southeast Asia.

Jiang Bai replied in fluent English: "Thank you for your kind words. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!"

Another comment, likely from a Chinese student studying in Thailand, reads: "Thank you for bringing the best Chinese campus drama to Southeast Asian audiences, bringing glory to our country!"

Jiang Bai replied in Chinese: "Thank you for your appreciation. The phrase 'bringing glory to the country' is too heavy. I'm just lucky to have everyone's appreciation."

A few simple replies instantly made these Instagram fans even more excited.

Jiang Bai's proactive interaction with his fans has led to even more comments and likes on his Instagram account from these overseas fans.

After reading through the comments, Jiang Bai opened his phone's photo album and selected a few clean and refreshing casual selfies.

He collected nine photos: candid shots of his profile on set, distant views of the sea of ​​clouds from a window, and promotional photos he had saved to post on Weibo. After gathering nine photos, he simply edited a message to thank his Thai fans for their enthusiasm and published it with one click.

The new update was posted less than a minute ago.

Likes, comments, and shares instantly exceeded 10,000.

The speed at which its popularity soared was comparable to that of the most influential K-pop idols among Asian celebrities on the Instagram platform.

Tian Xiwei, who was standing nearby, peeked over and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Your online popularity is outrageous! You can go viral just by posting a random selfie!"

As she spoke, she also planned to post a message on Instagram to thank her fans, since today's airport pick-up fans were not only Jiang Bai's fans, but also their CP fans!

As the two chatted, the convoy of cars slowly slowed down and came to a steady stop in front of a landmark high-end resort hotel in downtown Bangkok.

The hotel boasts a luxurious and elegant overall design, surrounded by tropical greenery, with bright and airy lighting and a wonderful atmosphere, making it a top-tier hotel in the area.

It offers maximum privacy and comfort.

Hotel staff, the local partner company's liaison team, and the entire makeup and filming crew were already in place, lined up neatly to await their arrival.

Once the car came to a stop, staff immediately opened the car door, shielded the two people from the crowd, and escorted them into the hotel lobby.

As soon as I entered the lobby, the head of the Thai TV program team, who had arrived earlier and was waiting, immediately came forward to greet me warmly with a big smile on his face.

The accompanying translator promptly stepped forward to coordinate and clearly explain the subsequent work process to the two individuals.

This exclusive interview was conducted during primetime entertainment interviews on Thailand's Channel 3.

Channel 3 (CH3) is a long-established and well-known Thai television station, renowned for its fashionable modern dramas and star-making ability. It boasts many top Thai artists, and its dramas have a significant impact in Bangkok and surrounding urban areas.

Their entertainment talk show enjoys extremely high popularity and a wide audience in the local area.

The interview will be recorded for 45 minutes. After the recording, the production team will do professional editing to produce a final cut of about 15 minutes of highlights.

The program will be broadcast on Thai television that evening, and simultaneously released on the television station's official YouTube channel and social media platforms, reaching audiences throughout Thailand.

Because it is a national-level television station, the entire recording process is professional and standardized, with a relaxed and comfortable pace. There are no deliberately difficult questions, and the focus is on positive publicity, cultural exchange, and drama promotion.

"Both teachers must have had a long journey."

"We have already set up the interview venue and tested the equipment in advance. The dressing room is also ready. You can rest first."

"Makeup and styling are done, and we can start filming anytime." The program director was respectful and followed the couple's pace throughout.

This interview will be recorded directly in the hotel, aiming for a relaxed atmosphere.

Of course, the main reason is also because Jiang Bai and Tian Xiwei's schedules are too tight.

The management team has arranged too many activities for the next few days at sea, and they can't keep up with all the work, so they have to ask the production crew to come and film on-site.

Jiang Bai and Tian Xiwei nodded their thanks slightly, and then followed the staff to their private dressing room.

To cater to the Thai audience's preference for refreshing young men and energetic young women, and to align with the youthful and healing tone of "A Love So Beautiful".

The styling team had prepared a simple yet sophisticated makeup and styling plan in advance, rejecting heavy and exaggerated makeup and complicated and gorgeous clothing.

Jiang Bai wore a minimalist white casual shirt paired with light-colored casual trousers, the cut of which was clean, neat, relaxed, and sophisticated.

The makeup is light and natural, correcting skin tone and brightening complexion. It's not too heavy and focuses on a youthful look.

Tian Xiwei wore a light apricot-colored knit sweater paired with a light-colored pleated skirt.

Her makeup was light and sweet, lively and cute, and her long hair was gently draped over her shoulders, maximizing her soft and sweet temperament and making her extremely approachable.

In just half an hour, the makeup and styling were all completed, and I was in the right state of mind.

The two walked side by side into a conference room that had been prepared by the hotel.

The interior lighting is soft, the set design is simple and refreshing, and the backdrop is printed with the drama poster and the program logo.

The camera positions, sound recording equipment, and lighting are all ready.

This program was recorded entirely in two languages. Although the host does not understand Chinese, a professional translator accompanied him.

The interview officially began with the host posing a warm-up question in a friendly and gentle tone: "First of all, welcome to our program! We're honored to have the incredibly popular Chinese actors Jiang Bai and Tian Xiwei in Bangkok!"

"Did you feel the enthusiasm of your Thai fans after arriving in Bangkok? How did you feel at that moment?"

Tian Xiwei was the first to answer with a smile: "It was very shocking and deeply moving!"

"We never expected so many fans from Thailand and Southeast Asia to like our show and come to the airport to welcome us!"

"The enthusiasm of everyone has truly exceeded our expectations. We are especially grateful for the love and support of every fan."

Jiang Bai nodded in agreement, saying, "It's an honor to bring 'A Love So Beautiful' to Thailand and meet the audience in Southeast Asia."

"The beauty of youth knows no borders. I'm so happy that the pure youth and tender feelings in our drama can be liked and empathized with by everyone."

"This trip to Thailand was a very precious experience for us."

The host smiled and nodded, "The two partners have perfect chemistry, creating a fantastic on-screen atmosphere. The whole internet is praising your on-screen chemistry."

"When you work together on screen in private, do you feel that you are a good fit for the characters?"

"Are there any interesting behind-the-scenes stories you can share from the filming process?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes crinkling with a particularly adorable smile: "Brother Jiang Bai is really just like Jiang Chen, exceptionally thoughtful and composed!"

"I'm a newcomer, and this is my first film, so I often made mistakes in my positioning and emotions during filming. He always patiently guided me to find the right state and worked on the details. He's very reliable."

Jiang Bai chimed in at the opportune moment, praising Xiao Tian: "Xiao Tian is a very talented actress. Her energetic state is a perfect fit for her, exuding the vibrancy of a young girl."

"Working with her is very easy and harmonious. We don't need to deliberately work out; we can quickly get into the zone and capture the most natural and authentic youthful atmosphere."

The entire interview was well-paced and had a warm and therapeutic atmosphere.

The host also asked the two about their understanding of youth dramas, their gratitude to Southeast Asian fans, and their plans for future filming.

The two answered each other fluently, sincerely and appropriately, demonstrating excellent emotional intelligence and manners throughout.

The 45-minute recording session passed in the blink of an eye.

After the recording ended, the program crew members came forward to thank them and take photos with them, saying that the two were in excellent condition and had a high degree of cooperation, and that the interview would definitely be very successful.

After seeing off all the staff and film crew, the room finally became completely quiet.

They worked tirelessly for days on end, including high-intensity filming, connecting flights, international flights, and immediate interviews upon landing.

The intense work that lasted all day left both of them exhausted.

After a long day of tension, I was finally able to relax completely.

No longer needing to maintain a professional image in front of the camera, the two instantly shed all their idol baggage.

Tian Xiwei stretched lazily, her eyes languid. Compared to her well-behaved and sweet appearance in front of the camera, she was now in her most relaxed and charming state.

Although the two haven't been in a long-distance relationship for very long, they've been spending their days filming in different production crews, resulting in little time together and a growing sense of longing between them.

This reunion in a foreign land, a brief separation that feels like a new marriage, naturally makes it hard to part.

The accompanying assistant team was very perceptive.

She proactively tidied up the venue and organized the materials, briefly reminded the two to get a good rest and be well-rested for the fan meeting the next day, and then left the venue on her own.

Jiang Bai watched Tian Xiwei's adorable hopping and skipping, chuckled, and gently closed the door behind him.

"Finally, I can get some rest."

Tian Xiwei slumped onto the sofa, let out a long sigh, looked up at Jiang Bai, her eyes sparkling with joy, "Today was so tiring, picking him up from the airport, doing interviews and recordings, I was on edge the whole time."

"However, I'm really happy to receive such a warm welcome from so many local fans!"

Jiang Bai walked slowly to her side and sat down. He gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead and lightly kissed her red lips. "You've worked hard."

Tian Xiwei leaned slightly forward and rested gently on Jiang Bai's shoulder. She felt her fatigue instantly dissipate, and her heart was filled with peace and security.

The two nestled quietly on the sofa, not trying to find topics to chat about. Their silence was not awkward at all, but rather created a warm feeling.

"You're a real superstar now, an international celebrity."

After a while, Tian Xiwei murmured softly, her tone full of genuine pride and joy.

"So many foreign fans came to the airport for you, which made it to the top of Twitter's trending list, and made you a god in the domestic fan circle."

"I'm really happy to see you get to where you are today."

Jiang Bai looked down at the little girl nestled obediently against his shoulder, his eyes full of smiles, and replied softly, "It's not just my achievement, it's the result of the drama 'A Love So Beautiful,' and it's also the result of our joint efforts."

A simple sentence, yet it bound the two of them tightly together, which made Tian Xiwei's heart melt.

She raised her head, her bright eyes staring straight at him, and leaned in slightly to hug Jiang Bai around the waist, giving him a sweet kiss.

The girl's embrace was soft and warm, carrying a sweet scent that was intoxicating and irresistible.

Jiang Bai raised his hand and firmly wrapped it around her waist, gently returning the embrace and deepening the kiss.

He kissed her from her lips to her cheeks, then to her neck, and continued kissing her all the way down.

"etc..."

"No...don't make any vows, we have a fan meeting tomorrow!"

Jiang Bai stopped planting hickeys, looked up at Tian Xiwei, couldn't help but kiss her cheek again, and then buried his head in her neck.

He took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh.

He held Xiaotian tightly, her body still not very thin, and breathed on her sweet fragrance.

Satisfied!

The two embraced quietly for a long time, slowly relaxing and chatting softly about things happening on set and interesting stories from the fandom, their voices gentle and the atmosphere relaxed.

"Will there be a ton of people at the drug convention tomorrow?" Tian Xiwei asked, a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.

"There will be many fans who genuinely like us and love 'A Love So Beautiful'," Jiang Bai gently reassured them. "Don't be nervous, just perform normally."

Tian Xiwei nodded obediently, snuggling closer to him, savoring the peace and tenderness that belonged only to her.

Of course, such a warm atmosphere between two young and vigorous people cannot last long.

Before long, Jiang Bai's Lan started to get restless.

Until, his orchid touched Xiaotian's chest and was tightly grasped by her.

Jiang Bai gave an awkward smile and fought with all his might.

Tian Xiwei immediately groaned and broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Bai winked and said, "Shall we start a game?"

"Fine, I'll open it!" Tian Xiwei snorted and took the initiative, flipping over and straddling Jiang Bai's waist.

Today's Oda is Knight Oda!

The battle has begun!
