Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 149: One after another

"I know that after watching the movie, everyone has some opinions about the character Tang Xiaomi."

“But have you ever thought that it is precisely because of this that Ruth’s performance was so successful?”

Lin Li took in all the reactions from the audience and began to express his own views without being affected at all. As he made his analysis, the audience gradually quieted down.

"The character of Tang Xiaomi is actually a tragic one, because she is unbalanced, because Yi Yao saw her being bullied but didn't help her. Because she couldn't understand why she was bullied even though she was innocent. Because no one cared about her, because she was bullied in a crowded place but no one stood up to help her, which was different from the education she received. Because the pride in her heart did not allow her to bow her head and ask for help, because the fear and powerlessness in her heart could not be vented, it was sublimated in the end and she became the perpetrator."

"Often times, this kind of character is more difficult to grasp and interpret."

"And Ruth herself has a sweet look. I also said at the press conference that I chose her because I saw that her sweet looks would bring a strong enough contrast to a dark role like Tang Xiaomi."

"And judging by your performance now, her performance was a success, wasn't it?"

As the last sentence fell, Lin Li put down the microphone and put it behind his back, facing the audience with an elegant smile, as if waiting for your approval with a calm attitude.

"clap clap"

As Chen Chao took the lead in applauding, the audience immediately responded with applause.

Zhao Lusi also bowed to the audience with red eyes, and the applause became more enthusiastic.

"Nanda, that's a great point. Although you avoided the core question I wanted to ask, I accept it."

After the applause died down, the girl in the red skirt raised the microphone to express her approval of Lin Li's previous statement, then handed over the microphone and sat back obediently.

Lin Li also nodded to her with a kind smile.

"Then let me pick the next audience member to ask questions. We can't let Director Lin pick all the questions by himself, right?"

At this time, Chen Chao began to take over the conversation and liven up the atmosphere, thereby distracting the audience's attention which had been focused on Lin Li.

Otherwise, if you keep asking questions like this, it will turn into a question-and-answer session full of love gossip.

"Then let's go to this friend. You look familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?"

At this time, Chen Chao noticed a familiar figure in the crowd in the front row and pointed at him with the microphone.

Dong Zijian, who was named by Chen Chao, took off his mask and stood up with a smile: "Mr. Chen, what you said is not right. This is the first time we meet today."

"Ah! It's Dong Zijian!"

"Then the person next to him must be Sun Yi. I didn't notice him even though he was sitting next to me for such a long time."

"Dong Zijian and Nanda must have known each other through Xiangwang. I didn't expect him to come and show his support."

Dong Zijian's appearance caused exclamations at the scene. After all, many people were still quite curious about being able to get so close to the actors.

At this time, Sun Yi also stood up with Dong Zijian and took off the baseball cap on his head and the mask on his face.

Chen Chao laughed and greeted them warmly.

"Come on, come on, Teacher Dong Zijian and Teacher Sun Yi, please come forward and have a chat."

"Speaking of which, although we haven't met before, Mr. Dong Zijian, I have seen your work Great Rivers and Flowing Rivers. Otherwise, how could I recognize you, right?"

At this time, Dong Zijian also took the microphone handed over by the staff, and responded with a smile while pulling Sun Yi forward.

"Then I have to thank Mr. Chen for the ratings he contributed. If you have any good projects in the future, don't forget me. I'm very cheap."

Chen Chao smiled and nodded to indicate that it was no problem, then walked forward and shook hands with Dong Zijian and the other man.

Lin Li also stepped forward and hugged Dong Zijian, then turned to Sun Yi standing beside him and nodded.

"Ali's new movie is really good. It made me cry."

"Are you crying for real or fake?"

"Really? My eyes are red when I look at you."

"Haha, I see, I see."

Lin Li and Dong Zijian made a few jokes to lighten the atmosphere.

He really didn't know that Dong Zijian would come to show his support, but no matter what, his presence was a form of support, and he must give a certain response.

After the joke, Dong Zijian and the other man simply greeted each other with the crew members before facing the audience together.

Chen Chao began to control the rhythm again, raised the microphone and looked at Dong Zijian: "Then Mr. Dong, please tell us what you felt after watching our movie. If you have any questions, you can talk to our audience."

Dong Zijian glanced at the crew members, then put the microphone to his lips and faced the audience.

"I was just sitting in the audience and saw many people around me had red eyes and some even had tears streaming down their cheeks. So there's no need to say whether the movie is good or not, right?"

"I just want to ask our director Lin, why did you choose Peng Peng instead of me? I think I have a strong youthful vibe."

Following Dong Zijian's questioning, there was another burst of laughter at the scene. Lin Li also cooperated by making a gesture of covering his face, and the scene suddenly became more joyful.

Peng Peng stood up at this time, holding the microphone and pointing at his face while looking at Dong Zijian with a proud look on his face: "Brother Zijian, you know, there is a difference between a real teenager and a fake teenager. Look at my face full of collagen." Dong Zijian pretended to kick him, Peng Peng turned around and dodged backwards. Lin Li pretended to separate the two, and the others also cooperated. The atmosphere on the scene was extremely lively and the audience was laughing so hard.

After a fight, as Chen Chao began to take control of the situation, everyone stopped making noise and straightened their manners to face the crowd.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Chao picked up the microphone and began to control the situation.

"We've already discussed that, so let's try a different approach this time. Do you have any questions that you think are difficult? They're not gossip questions, so make that clear. They're questions related to our movie. Raise them and we'll have a good discussion."

The request Chen Chao put forward this time made the people in the audience a little worried. They began to discuss in a low voice with each other, and the scene was filled with a buzz of conversation.

"I have a question for you."

At this moment, a very familiar nasal sound was heard from the crowd, and everyone's spirits were lifted.

The crew looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fully armed woman standing up and waving her hand.

At first sight, almost everyone present recognized her.

"Why is she here?"

Chen Duling and the other three female leads were all on high alert and started to complain in their hearts.

"Oh my god, Yang Mi!"

"Ahhh, Da Mi Mi!"

"Yang Mi is here, Nanjing University is so proud of her"

"Take a photo quickly. This is the first time I'm so close to Yang Mi."

……

As Yang Mi's signature nasal sound rang out, coupled with her outfit that was always at the forefront of fashion, the people at the scene immediately recognized Yang Mi, the undisputed top female star in the domestic entertainment industry, and there were screams from the audience.

Several staff members came forward to escort Yang Mi out of the crowd. Yang Mi also walked up to Lin Li, took off her mask and hat, revealing her charming face.

When Dong Zijian and others saw her, they hurried forward to greet her. Although Zhao Lusi and other female leading actors were unhappy, they still went forward to greet her obediently. After all, Yang Mi's status in the circle is well known.

After they finished their greetings, Lin Li raised the microphone and greeted her with a smile: "Welcome to our roadshow, Sister Mi. This is a bit of a surprise."

Yang Mi also stared at Lin Li putting the microphone to his lips, with a mischievous look on his face: "I hope you don't get scared. After all, I'm here to ask questions."

Lin Li said calmly: "Miss Mi, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Yang Mi blinked at him, then swept her eyes over the crew members, finally stopping on Zhang Ruonan.

After looking her up and down, Yang Mi put the microphone to her lips: "I would like to ask Ruonan, regarding the scene where you fell from the building, was the tear at the end real or a special effect? ​​If it was real, how was it filmed?"

Yang Mi's expression was very serious, and it was obvious that she was indeed concerned about this issue.

Zhang Ruonan didn't expect Yang Mi to ask her, but she quickly organized her thoughts, then held the microphone in both hands, nodded to Yang Mi, turned to the audience and answered obediently.

"First of all, the tear-shedding scene was a real shot, not a special effect, that's for sure."

After hearing Zhang Ruonan's answer, there was a burst of discussion at the scene. After all, everyone thought that kind of close-up shot was made of special effects, but they didn't expect it to be a real shot.

Seeing this, Lin Li put his finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence to the audience, and the audience gradually quieted down.

He turned around and gave Zhang Ruonan a reassuring look. Zhang Ruonan felt sweet in her heart and nodded to Lin Li, ready to continue.

This scene was also seen by several girls who were watching at the scene, and they narrowed their eyes at the same time.

There's something wrong with these two people!
"We started shooting this scene in the morning. I shot it many times but Director Lin was still not satisfied. His face looked very bad. The whole crew was so scared that they didn't dare to say much."

"I spent the whole morning working on the scene where I ran away and fell off the building, but I couldn't get through it. I was so depressed at the time that I even doubted myself."

"Director Lin ignored me and left me alone until my emotions reached a critical point. I was able to complete the escape and falling scenes in just one take in the afternoon."

"When I was falling, Mr. Lin asked the photographer who had been prepared to jump in after me and kept reminding me to cry. That's when I shed the tear you see now."

"At first I was a little resentful towards Director Lin, but after the filming I realized that Director Lin had been prepared in advance and had spent so much time in the lead up to the scene just to allow me to perform the scene that everyone saw under extreme pressure, so I am very grateful to Director Lin and all the crew members who helped me."

After finishing his story, Zhang Ruonan bowed to the audience and then returned to the crew.

"clap clap"

What followed was warm cheers.

Everyone looked at the girl who was making her first big screen appearance and applauded sincerely.

Everyone already liked the character Gu Senxiang she played in the movie, and now seeing her speak so sincerely, they have developed a great liking for her.

Lin Li looked at the audience's reactions and thought that after today, Xiao Zhang would probably gain a lot of fans.
