Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 102 Status
Tian Xiwei walked a few steps to Lin Li, raised her little face and stared at him with her big eyes: "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

He looked at Xiaotian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and was in a good mood. He said cheerfully: "Of course I want to give you a surprise. How about I come to visit you on set? Are you happy?"

Tian Xiwei nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Of course I'm happy!"

Director Jinsha stood by with a smile on his face and did not interrupt, but in his heart he was thinking that it was a good thing that he had obeyed this young lady before and did not offend her.

Judging from the current situation, she is most likely in that kind of relationship with this guy.

Zhu Xudan and others were also paying close attention to the movements here, wondering who the tall boy wearing a mask was.

Zhu Xudan looked at Lin Li who was wearing a mask not far away and wondered why he looked familiar.
Only Deng Lun recognized who the person was at the first moment. Because he had been warned by Gong Yuhan, he could instantly associate who the person in front of him was.

Comparing the figure and the attitude of Director Jinsha, he had basically determined the identity of the visitor.

He also didn't expect that this person would come here so suddenly.

At the same time, I felt a little scared. Fortunately, I managed to control my assistant today and didn't let her cause any more trouble.

Main supporting characters such as Zhang Haowei and Wang Ruizhi also heard the news and came. Some of them were smart and had already guessed the identity of the visitor. They began to tidy up their appearance, trying to leave a good impression on him.

At this time, Tian Xiwei also led Lin Li over. Director Jinsha followed them closely with a smile on his face, not at all like his usual serious appearance in the crew.

Tian Xiwei walked up to the main actors of One Thousand and One Nights and stood in front of them. With a slightly proud smile, she raised her hand and introduced Lin Li next to her to them.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Lin Li, the director of my last play, and Nan Xun, the writer you are all familiar with."

At this time, Lin Li also cooperated by taking off his mask, looking around at the leading actors who looked reserved but excited, with a calm smile on his face.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Li."

Sure enough it was him!

The leading actors confirmed their guess and were all a little excited. After all, this was Nan Xun!
A top writer with a large number of works, his first TV series as director has secured the Penguin Annual Award and has a particularly high reputation rating.

At the same time, he just announced the completion of his first movie two days ago. Judging from the reactions of netizens, it is expected to be another box office hit.

Not to mention that his original work You Are My Glory is currently being filmed in Shanghai, with the script written by him himself and directed by the well-known TV drama director Lin Yufen. With popular actors like Dilraba Dilmurat joining in, it is basically a hit drama waiting to be broadcast.

In their eyes, Lin Li in front of them was not only a tall and handsome young man, but also a gold and silver mountain filled with countless resources!
"Hello, Director Lin!"

“Hello, NCU!”

……

All the actors bent over and greeted each other, but the addresses were just as messy as usual.

Lin Li raised his hand with a kind face: "Everyone, please don't be polite. I'm sorry to bother you. I just came to see Xiaotian. I hope I didn't disturb you. I asked someone to prepare some food and drinks. I know you will have filming later, so let's just make do with it tonight, how about it?"

"No way, thank you so much!"

“Nanjing University is so considerate.”

"Being able to have dinner with Nan Da is enough for me to brag about it in my circle of friends for a few months and make my friends envious."

……

They were all people in the same circle, and their mouths were full of honey. Lin Li was used to it, so he calmly invited them to the lounge for dinner.

Tian Xiwei on the side was also filled with joy at this time. The light in her big eyes was like the melting spring water, clear and charming.

Since she joined the group, she has heard a lot of criticism about her, both overtly and covertly, but with Lin Li's arrival today, she believes that these voices will completely disappear from now on.

She knew clearly that Lin Li came to support her.

There are some things she won't take the initiative to mention, but Lin Li always thinks of them for her. This is probably an important reason why she is infatuated with him.

He is her support.

After all, who doesn’t want to have someone to rely on in the complex circle of domestic entertainment?

A group of people surrounded Lin Li and went to the public lounge for the leading actors. After entering, Deng Lun gave his female assistant a look and asked him to leave. Then he moved his usual chair to the side of the long table in the lounge.

"Director Lin, please sit here. I specially customized this. It's quite comfortable to sit on."

"Thank you."

"Oh, you're so polite. It's my honor. I really like your works. I've read Sturm und Drang and Blossoms. They're so well written."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Lin Li sat down readily and responded politely to Deng Lun's words.

To be honest, he had a good impression of this person. At present, his emotional intelligence seems to be good. However, he did not handle the tax issue well later on, so he deserved to be finished.

Others also sat down, Xiaotian sat on his left, Jinsha and Deng Lun sat on his right, and together with the other leading actors and main supporting actors, more than ten people sat at the long table. There were also some other crew members who heard the news and came, and the lounge of about 30 square meters suddenly seemed crowded.

Fortunately, this temporary lounge is equipped with air conditioning, otherwise so many people would have died of heat in this hot weather.

Lin Li also took the time to look at the other actors. At first glance, apart from the two familiar faces Zhu Xudan and Zhang Haowei, there seemed to be no other actors who had developed well later on.

When the other actors at the table saw Lin Li looking at them, they all sat up straight, fearing that they would leave a bad impression on him.

At this time, Zhu Xudan smiled and said in a clear voice: "Director Lin, I mentioned you when I was chatting with Reba yesterday. I didn't expect to meet you here today."

Tian Xiwei, who was beside Lin Li, narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and a series of alarms sounded in her mind.

Lin Li then remembered that this person had a good relationship with Reba. He looked curious and asked, "What did you and Reba talk about me?"

Zhu Xudan smiled with her hands covering her mouth as if embarrassed: "Reba said you agreed to treat her to a meal when you were free in Shanghai, but your movie was finished and you never contacted her again."

Lin Li just remembered what happened when he heard it, and immediately touched his nose in embarrassment.

It’s not that he didn’t want to go find Reba, but he left the crew once at the launch conference and then left again at the premiere of Eternal Love, which really wasted a lot of time.

So considering the shooting progress, in order to spare some time to accompany Dudu and see Xiaotian, he never left the crew again.

He thought that since the filming period of "Glory" was quite long, there would be plenty of opportunities to go there later. He didn't expect to meet Zhu Xudan here and be pointed out.

Thinking that Xiaotian was still beside him, he said with a look of sudden realization: "That's right. She treated me to a meal at the last press conference, and I said I would treat her back. But I was too busy with the filming afterwards and forgot about it."

Tian Xiwei relaxed her guard a little after hearing this. At least she could tell that Lin Li didn't take the agreement with Reba too seriously.

Zhu Xudan nodded in agreement: "Director Lin is so busy, I understand."

At this time, a staff member informed that the takeaway ordered by Lin Li had been delivered, so Jinsha ordered them to bring it all in.

Several staff members brought in large and small packages of exquisitely packaged takeout and arranged them in order on the long table.

Fresh fruit drinks were also served, not only to the leading actors, but also to all the crew members.

"It's a rumor. Director Lin is really generous!"

Deng Lun took a look at the takeaway packaging and recognized at a glance that this was a dish from a famous private restaurant in Hengdian.

He and his friends have been to this restaurant twice, and it was always packed each time. They had to make reservations in advance to eat there, and the daily delivery was limited.

Others also expressed their amazement and started to brag again.

Director Jinsha smiled and bowed to Lin Li: "Thank you Director Lin for coming here today, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to taste this famous private restaurant."

Lin Li smiled calmly: "Director Jin, you are too polite. I heard from Xiaotian that you usually take care of her in the crew and many of your suggestions have been adopted. As her friend, I am also very grateful to Director Jin. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Jinsha knew exactly what Lin Li was referring to, and said with a smile: "That's as it should be. For an actor as good and dedicated as Xiaotian, I will naturally listen to his opinions."

Lin Li smiled and nodded: "Thank you Director Jin for recognizing Xiaotian."

"It should, it should."

……

The actors from One Thousand and One Nights crew looked at the director, who was usually very dignified on the set. He seemed like a different person at this moment, talking to Lin Li as if he was reporting to his leader.

At this moment, as actors, they truly felt Lin Li’s status in the circle.

It turned out that the director who was already a very powerful person in their eyes was just like a minion in front of Lin Li.

How come Tian Xiwei ran into a big shot of this level?
How envious!
Zhu Xudan recalled the resentment that Reba had revealed from time to time during their recent conversations about Lin Li, and knew that she must have had some impure thoughts about Lin Li.

But now, looking at Lin Li, who was full of aura and seemed to be listening to their director's work report, some other thoughts popped up in her mind.

What if this person can support me like he supported Oda?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, staring at Lin Li with eyes full of passion and desire, and a hint of red appeared on her cheeks.

Her current position in Jiaxing is also very awkward. With Yang Mi and Reba suppressing her, she has no chance to stand out at all and can only play the second or third female role in some dramas.

She really needs someone like Lin Li to support her.

Tian Xiwei, who was standing next to Lin Li, suddenly felt something was wrong and turned her head to catch Zhu Xudan's expression.

Ok?
Sister Zhuzhu, you also have some thoughts about my brother Ali!

She couldn't help but narrow her big, Caroline eyes and looked alert.

I drank until the early hours yesterday, and when I woke up I found that I couldn’t find my glasses…
