Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 118: Storms Gather in the South

Early the next morning, Lin Li left the hotel in a car under Guo Fan's reluctant gaze.

Although Lin Li knew that he was reluctant to part with himself, no, it should be said that he was reluctant to part with himself as a tool.

But I still couldn't help but get goose bumps, mainly because the light in Guo Fan's eyes was so damn hot.

Guo Fan wanted him to make a cameo appearance, but he flatly refused.

Just kidding, if you didn’t know that Wu Jing went from being a guest star to a leading actor.

It's okay that the deceived person stayed on the crew for 31 days before he realized what was going on.

Now that you know everything, what are you waiting for?
Run away quickly!
In the capital, he had to attend school classes on one hand and Feng Quan's audition on the other, so he had to go back quickly.

It was fast to get from the island city to the capital. In less than two hours, Lin Li and his party landed in the capital.

"I am indeed more adapted to the dry climate of the capital."

After leaving the cabin, Lin Li immediately began to sigh.

"Yes, the scenery over there in the island city is very beautiful, facing the sea, with flowers blooming in the spring. But it is indeed too humid, and I always feel sticky."

Xu Fei also echoed, agreeing with Lin Li's words.

Lin Li nodded repeatedly. That was it.

He parted ways with Xu Fei at the airport. He had to go back to the company to deal with the cooperation with the crew of The Wandering Earth, such as the contract payment. Guo Fan was already waiting impatiently, so he asked them to transfer the money quickly.

Lin Li took the duo back to school. If he went back at this time, he could still attend two classes in the afternoon.

"Hey, I'm really motivated! I don't forget to go back to class even though I'm so busy!"

Lin Li, who was leaning in the back seat, couldn't help but sigh.

Gao Wen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, secretly rolled her eyes when she heard the voice. Her boss was good in every way except that he was sometimes so thick-skinned that he was really as thick-skinned as a wall.

In the following days, Lin Li attended classes at school honestly, occasionally went to the company, and then found time to write the script for Feng Quan. His life was quite fulfilling.

As time passed, September 7th soon arrived, and tomorrow was the day of Fengquan's audition.

In the past two days, netizens have discovered that a large number of artists in the circle have begun to frequently appear at the airport in Beijing, and then stayed in hotels near Nanxun Culture.

Liu Haoran, Zhang Zifeng, Yi Yang Qianxi and other most popular young actors at the moment are on the list.

For a time, reporters from various media outlets came to the scene, all hoping to get first-hand news materials.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, in the office of the president of Nanxun Culture.

Lin Li's phone was also particularly busy today. In addition to the familiar Han Zijie and Wang Changtian, people from Kiwi and Pants also contacted him.

The purpose is very similar, which is to recommend artists under their respective systems or companies.

Basically, the companies that can call him are all top companies in the industry, otherwise it would be a big deal if they could contact Gao Wen or Xu Fei.

Of course, he couldn't just refuse directly, after all, they were all just people who cared about the occasion.

They happily agreed to pay special attention and let the artists they recommended audition one by one. As for whether they can pass the audition in the end, it depends on their personal ability.

In addition, Han Zijie emphasized to him that Penguin will have a variety show in the second half of the year, and hoped that he would be able to participate in two episodes.

Lin Li asked what the show was about, and Han Zijie told him that it was a brand new acting competition show with a very strong cast.

This made Lin Li instantly think of which program it was. Wasn’t this the birth of the “black curtain”?

Lin Li did not refuse. After all, Penguin had invited him to participate in "The Next Boy" before and he had already refused. It would not be appropriate to refuse again. After all, he was just going to be a mascot and show his face, so it was not a big problem.

The most important thing is that he also wants to eat melons!

There was the cold and strict Zhang Ziyi, the experienced Song Dandan, the humorous Liu Ye, and even the friendship between Zhang Ziyi and Liu Ye could be brought up as a topic. He went to watch it because of Ouyang's gushing roar and Wang Junkai's confrontation with Zhang Ziyi.

There is also the snake-skin movement of the Yellow Saint Cloth and Shuangzi's laughter, which is really joyful.

The dark side of this program was later exposed by Yuan Li, which shocked the entire entertainment industry. At that time, he was very happy to eat melons every day.

But having said that, Lin Li personally feels that this program was not made with much care.

First of all, every script that appears in the show is completely shoddy, or is rigidly cut from film and television dramas and lacks completeness.

Either the actors would make up the script on the spot, or some would just sing a song on the stage and call it a day.

I don’t know whether I am fooling the audience or fooling myself.

Secondly, regarding the choice of the opposing actor, Lin Li really has no words to complain about.

Don’t the production crew know that acting is an interactive game?
Whether or not you can find an equally capable opponent directly affects the quality of the final performance.

It would be okay to pair a drama actor with a crosstalk actor, but the two people are completely on different channels. One keeps making jokes while the other is too busy to respond, which makes him very embarrassed to watch.

Those instructors and professional judges actually said there were sparks of collision... In the end, they used edited conflicts to attract people's attention, and kept inviting popular young actresses and handsome young actors to perform, but were unwilling to spend enough time and energy to guide them and help them improve themselves. What kind of actor birth is this?

The birth of an actor requires a good teacher to guide, an excellent opponent to compete with, and time and energy to invest and feel.

He just wanted to ask, what did this program achieve?

The only thing they did was to make the show a hot topic and increase its popularity during the broadcast period.

This time, the penguin set its sights on me, naturally because of my current popularity.

But he didn't care. He would only go for two sessions just to join in the fun.

With his status, Penguin cannot let him act in any drama or variety show, so he can just watch the show silently. Besides, there are some good actors on the show, such as Ling Xiaosu, who was deeply impressed by the show he worked with Lan Yingying on.

But then again, what kind of expressions would these companies have if they knew that he had already decided on the male and female protagonists of "Wind Dog"?
Well, forget it. Let’s just take it easy.

Some things are better seen than spoken.

There is actually another outstanding character in the play. If played well, he may be even more outstanding than the male and female protagonists. That is the role of Liu Wenqin.

The first two episodes of Feng Quan contain nonsensical comedy and the beautiful friendship among the four members of Daxing Village.

Until An Ran found Liu Wenqin, until Liu Wenqin said: "When did life ever give me the age of 18?"

The knife of reality is not sharp, but it hurts. It is the kind of pain that occurs in tiny bits and pieces every moment.

Once upon a time, Liu Wenqin was a sunny and carefree boy on the basketball court. He rescued Li Anran who was being harassed by gangsters.

However, the sweet love was poured with a bucket of cold water by the cruel reality.

There is an unbridgeable class gap between Liu Wenqin and An Ran.

The distance between them is farther than the Yangtze River.

Before meeting Li Anran, Liu Wenqin had never been interested in money. Although his life was simple, he enjoyed it and never felt that he was inferior to others.

He could have been admitted to college by playing ball and changed his life.

But perhaps... the end of his life-long struggle is far from the beginning of peace...

"It should be noted that when I was young, my ambition was high and I was promised to be the best in the world."

When he was watching the drama, he saw Zhou You, who played Liu Wenqin, shout out this sentence, and he felt a lot.

If Zhou You also came to the audition this time, it would mean that he and this drama are destined to be together, so he would still use Zhou You.

If they didn't come, then he would respect Zhao Qian and the others' choice to audition.

He had a hand in choosing the male and female protagonists, and he didn't want to ask too much about other things.

He also wanted to see who the final cast members were, led by Zhao Qian and Xu Fei.

Just as Lin Li was about to pack up and go back to school, his cell phone vibrated. He glanced and saw that it was a message from Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi: Ali, is it convenient to chat now?

Lin Li found her cautious inquiry very interesting and picked up his phone to reply to her.

"Yes, what's the matter, Jingyi?"

"I'm just, a little nervous."

"It's normal. You'll definitely be nervous when you go through this kind of audition for the first time. But I believe in you. You can do it."

"Really? But I feel like there are a lot of talented people at the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy, not to mention the Beijing Film Academy."

"You have to believe me, and you also know in your heart that I have already said hello and have chosen you as the heroine. What you have to do is to keep a normal mind and give full play to your strength. Otherwise, if you really perform too poorly, it will easily attract criticism. You know what I mean."

"I understand. But I still want to ask one more question."

"Want to ask why I chose you?"

"Yes."

"Didn't I tell you the reason last time?"

"I know, but I don't think that statement is enough for you to choose me as the heroine."

"Is that so? How about I give you another reason?"

"Sure. I'm listening."

"Because it looks good."

"???"

"Because your appearance is good-looking in my opinion."

"Ali, stop teasing me!"

"I'm not kidding you. I'm telling you the truth. Why, you don't believe me?"

"........."

Looking at the bunch of ellipsis marks in the dialog box, Lin Li suddenly laughed. This little girl was too nervous. If he didn't give her some relief, she might not be able to perform normally tomorrow.

On the other side, Zhang Jingyi watched the conversation between the two, her eyes gradually lost focus and she became dazed.

Does he think I'm pretty?
Doesn’t he like cute girls like Senior Zhou Ye?
He must be teasing me, right?

Zhang Jingyi thought of many possibilities, but as she thought about it, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, revealing a touching smile.

He said, she is pretty.

I recommend the drama Feng Quan. The ending is not so good, but it is watchable overall.
