Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 139: Lead actors gather together, publicity arrangements

"I will definitely prepare well and play this role well, don't worry!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Ye did not say any more words of thanks. Instead, he looked at Lin Li deeply and made a promise to him very seriously.

She feels that some things are better left in mind, but action is more important.

"Well, take some time to read the original novel. Before we officially start filming, give me the character biography you summarized. If I'm not satisfied, your role will be in jeopardy."

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye in front of him and pretended to be serious to scare her.

Zhou Ye knew that Lin Li was just joking with her, but she replied seriously: "No problem."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment and looked at her a few times. When he saw the determination in her eyes, he understood her thoughts, smiled slightly, and nodded to her.

"Um"

Zhou Ye then relaxed his expression, and a sweet smile appeared on his little mouth.

This little girl is a cool and beautiful girl when she's not smiling, but she looks like a fool when she smiles.

After the formal topic, the two began to chat.

Zhou Ye was very curious about the problems he encountered when filming Cute and Tragic, so Lin Li told her many interesting stories from the filming.

For example, Li Mingde was worried that his baby face didn't make expressions serious enough, Zhang Ruonan had difficulty with the scene of falling from a building and crying, and Chen Duling kept to herself and didn't interact much with everyone on the crew in order to maintain her form.

Zhou Ye exclaimed repeatedly after hearing this, his expression changed from happy to nervous, and then to solemn.

This attracted the attention of people at the nearby tables, who looked at Zhou Ye with a bit of disgust.

The girl is very pretty, why is she so noisy?

At noon, Lin Li followed Zhou Ye to eat some small cakes, iced bread and the like.

You know what, this kind of food that he would never eat normally tastes pretty good occasionally.

After the event, Lin Li arranged for Wang Bao to send her back to Beijing Film Academy, while he himself returned to school.

He is now under time pressure and has a heavy workload. Not only does he have to catch up with the script for Wind Dog, but he also has to prepare the content of the speech for the 80th anniversary celebration, which is quite taxing.

In the next few days, he had almost no free time except for taking time out to accompany Dudu for one night and staying at Zhang Ruonan's place for one night.

Either writing a script or writing a speech.

The editing and post-production of Bei Ni have been completed and it is now going through the review process.

Time continued until the 18th, when Zhao Qian called to inform that the dragon mark and broadcast license had been obtained, and Xu Fei was currently discussing the promotion of the film with Light Media Penguin.

Zhao Qian also said that he has notified all the leading actors of the crew to gather at the company tomorrow, and they will then carry out a series of publicity work, such as variety shows, interviews, magazines, etc.

In addition, the Fengquan crew members will also go to the company tomorrow to take makeup photos. They have to take advantage of the fact that Peng Peng is still in Beijing, otherwise they don’t know when they will be free if they get busy later.

Lin Li hung up the phone after he knew it, and then he felt something was wrong.

This means that all the girls from both crews will be here tomorrow?
Thinking of Ruth who is determined to make progress, and Ruonan who has already succeeded, if Dudu and Jingyi were also there...

Lin Li had a bad feeling.

Don't panic, he can keep calm!
What needs to be faced must be faced eventually.

The next day, after Lin Li finished a professional class, he was picked up by Gao Wen and others and taken to the company.

Before entering the company, Lin Li glanced at the time on his phone. It was half past ten.

I guess, nothing's wrong, right?
"Boss Lin, the main actors of Feng Quan are taking makeup photos in the Film and Television Department, and the main actors of Bei Ni are in the conference room to confirm the next promotional process and route."

Gao Wen noticed Lin Li's hesitation and silently reminded him.

After a brief thought, Lin Li decided to go to the conference room first. After all, movie promotion was the top priority right now.

The two walked to the front of the meeting room. Gao Wen pushed the door open first, and Lin Li walked in first.

In the conference room.

Chen Chao was speaking. When he saw Lin Li coming in, he nodded and greeted him: "Mr. Lin."

During this period, Chen Chao hardly stayed in school. He devoted himself to the company's work and cooperated with the marketing planning department to attract investment for Fengquan. At the same time, he discussed with Xu Fei the formulation of a publicity plan for the "Bi Ni" crew.

Lin Li could also clearly feel the recent changes in Chen Chao. His temperament became more and more stable.

At this time, Xu Fei and the other actors in Bei Ni also noticed Lin Li's arrival and stood up to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Lin"

"Hello, Director Lin"

Lin Li walked to the middle seat with a smile and sat down. He glanced around and found that almost everyone was there except Peng Peng. He thought Peng Peng should have gone to Feng Quan to take the final photos.

"Everyone, please sit down. Don't be polite. We are all so familiar with each other."

"Minghao has become more handsome recently."

"Why does Ruth's chin seem to be rounder after a few days back? She needs to pay attention to her diet!"

"Ruonan is dressed very fresh today."

"Dudu is still so beautiful!"

Lin Li first asked everyone to sit down, and then greeted everyone one by one. If someone who didn't know him saw this, they might really think that he was a leader with whom he had a very good relationship.

Little did he know that he had a frank relationship with two of them.

"Director Lin, you're joking. Who dares to call himself handsome in front of you?" Hou Minghao smiled shyly and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Director Lin, how could I be fat? I weighed myself before coming to Beijing, and I lost two kilograms."

Zhao Lusi had a look of reproach on her face, and her smile, which had originally been happy because of seeing Lin Li, suddenly turned into resentment.

Today, Zhao Lusi wore a tight knitted vest on the upper body and loose jeans on the lower body. She had two pigtails and her round forehead was revealed under her light makeup. Her whole outfit was very youthful and avant-garde.

Zhang Ruonan just smiled reservedly without saying anything. She looked really fresh and lovely in her white corseted long dress and loose hair.

Only Chen Duling openly teased: "She's so pretty but Director Lin hasn't come over earlier. It seems Director Lin probably thinks she's not pretty enough."

She was wearing a green silk shirt today. The deep V-neck design revealed her neck and collarbone while modifying her face shape. The lapel had a unique curve, which was generous and decent.

The bottoms are ivory white skirt pants, which are wide enough to fit both legs in one leg.

This gentle and mature outfit was quite eye-catching, and Lin Li couldn't help but subconsciously take a few more glances at it.

Lin Li first looked at Zhao Lusi: "Oh, my eyesight has been a little blurry since I was writing the script recently. I read it wrongly, I read it wrongly."

Then he turned to look at Chen Duling: "How can that be possible? I have classes in the morning. I am an ambitious young man."

Chen Duling and Zhao Lusi both rolled their eyes at him and said nothing more.

Both of them knew what was going on; after all, it was a formal occasion.

After warming up, Lin Li looked at Chen Chao and said, "President Chen, let's continue what you were talking about."

Chen Chao nodded to show that he understood, then continued to look around at everyone and said, "We have just finished talking about interviews and magazine shoots. Next, let me talk about variety shows."

"I have already contacted Mango TV to record an episode of Happy Camp. Teacher He even asked Mr. Lin if you would go. I haven't responded yet."

"Then Shanghai contacted us to arrange an episode of Go Fighting for promotion. They also asked Mr. Lin if you would go, but they haven't given us a final reply yet."

"At present, these are the two variety shows. The Base Camp will be aired before the 30th after recording, and Go Fighting will be aired during the National Day holiday. This is the current situation."

After listening to Chen Chao's report, Lin Li did not hesitate and responded immediately: "Please help me to decline both parties. Tell them that I will attend the 80th anniversary celebration of Renmin University and give a speech as a student representative. I am currently preparing the content of my speech. Forget about it this time, but I will definitely go next time if I have the chance."

"At the same time, we have to greet both sides and ensure the safety of our actors when we record and play games."

Chen Chao naturally knew that Lin Li needed to participate in the 80th anniversary celebration of the National People's Congress, so it was not surprising.

It was because he knew this that he did not agree to the two program teams. Now after getting Lin Li's confirmed reply, he immediately said that he understood.

When Hou Minghao and others heard that Lin Li was going to participate in the 80th anniversary celebration of the National People's Congress and would make a speech on stage, they just thought that Director Lin was indeed Director Lin and was still so amazing, and did not think much about it.

However, Xu Fei and Chen Duling on the side raised their voices at the same time, looking slightly excited.

"Director Lin will give a speech at the 80th anniversary celebration of the National People's Congress!"

"Um"

Lin Li nodded in affirmation.

Chen Duling and Xu Fei looked at each other and could both feel the surprise in each other's eyes.

Others may not understand, but these two people who graduated from the same university know very well the significance of being able to speak as student representatives at the 80th anniversary celebration of a school like Renmin University.

"What's wrong, Sister Dudu? Why are you two reacting so strongly, Mr. Xu?"

Zhao Lusi looked at the two people's reactions and asked questions in confusion. The others were also waiting for Chen Duling's answer with the same curiosity.

"The National People's Congress has a nickname, the Second Central Party School!"

“It means a lot to be able to speak on stage as a student representative at such an important anniversary celebration.”

Chen Duling glanced at Lin Li, then gave a brief explanation to the others with a proud tone.

Only then did they vaguely understand what Chen Duling meant. They knew that she was very powerful, but they couldn't put into words exactly what made her powerful.

Anyway, it looks very awesome!

Zhang Ruonan looked at Lin Li with an increasingly gentle gaze. She was glad that such an outstanding person was her boyfriend.

Zhao Lusi's eyes became more and more passionate, and she became more and more eager to conquer Lin Li.

Lin Li waved his hand, pulling everyone back to their thoughts: "I won't go to the variety show with you. I will ask the company to arrange someone to accompany you. If you encounter any problems during the recording, feel free to contact me. Just don't get bullied."

Lin Li had memories from his previous life, so he naturally knew that these programs sometimes disregarded the safety of the guests for the sake of program effects.

The indoor variety show "Base Camp" is okay, but you still need to be careful about outdoor variety shows like "Go Fighting".

In order to promote their Nanxun Culture’s movie, I think the two program teams will not do anything stupid, but it is better to be safe than sorry, so we still have to take precautions.

"clear"

Everyone agreed.

"Then you guys continue chatting, I'll go check out Feng Quan."

Lin Li thought about it and realized there was nothing wrong, so he prepared to retreat.

"Wait a minute, Director Lin, I want to go take a look too. There's nothing to do here, let's go together."

At this time, Chen Duling suddenly called out to Lin Li and said with a smile.

Lin Li's heart suddenly tightened.

What did you notice?
