Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 16 Small Shura Field

"Xiaotian, what's wrong with you? Why can't you get into the state?"

Lin Li sat in front of the monitor, watching the playback, and spoke helplessly to Tian Xiwei who was lowering her head beside him.

After flying back to Jiangcheng in the morning, Lin Li rushed to the crew without stopping. After a short rest and a simple meal, he took over from Wen Mu and started filming.

What I didn't expect was that Xiaotian had a lot of problems today and even failed several takes in a row, so I called her over to find out what happened.

"Maybe I didn't get enough rest yesterday. I'll adjust myself."

Tian Xiwei pursed her lips, looking sincerely admitting her mistake.

Lin Li looked at Xiaotian and had a rough idea in his mind, so he asked her to go back and rest and adjust herself while he filmed other people's scenes first.

After all, there were so many people in the crew watching, so he couldn't say much here, and there were some things that he should just pretend not to know.

Tian Xiwei returned to the hotel with a depressed look on her face, then threw herself on the bed and buried her head in the pillow.

She was indeed in a bad state. She had been feeling depressed ever since she saw the hot news in the morning.

Even though Lin Li explained the situation to her yesterday and she knew that he and Chen Duling had nothing to do with each other, she was still very unhappy when she saw the picture of the two of them together on the trending search.

Especially in the comments, she saw some people commenting on why Chen Duling found an amateur boyfriend and saying that he was not worthy of her, and she suddenly felt pressured.

She knew Lin Li's identity, and understood that if Lin Li revealed his identity, the comments would definitely be reversed.

But she thought about herself. She was just a nobody in the entertainment industry. If Lin Li hadn't given her this opportunity, she didn't know when she would be able to play the leading role.

Not to mention comparing with the popular writer Lin Li, even Chen Duling's status in the entertainment industry is much higher than hers. After all, the other person has a successful representative film.

Moreover, the status of movie actors is much higher than that of TV actors.

Her experience as the leading actress in a box office successful movie is enough for her to surpass 90% of the actresses in the entertainment industry.

"No, I need to cheer up. This drama will be a success and I will become famous. I am no worse than anyone else!"

After lying down for a while, Tian Xiwei suddenly jumped up from the bed, waved her arms vigorously, and cheered herself up.

She has never been a person who would accept her fate. Otherwise, she would not have chosen the path of an actress.

Even before she met Lin Li, she still had the confidence that she could become famous. What's more, now that she has boarded Lin Li's big ship, there is no reason for her to fail!
She believed that she would become famous, and one day, she would be qualified to stand beside Lin Li!

After relieving herself, Tian Xiwei regained her confidence, changed into beautiful new clothes, put on beautiful makeup, and after fiddling with herself in front of the mirror, she hurried out to the crew.

Now that she has figured it out, of course she has to go find her brother Ali in a better attitude!

After that day, the crew was surprised to find that the heroine's condition was getting better and better.

His performance became more dynamic and he was very active in the crew, as if he had undergone some kind of transformation.

Lin Li didn't expect that Xiaotian could adjust her mentality so quickly, although he knew that Xiaotian was a girl with a strong sense of career.

In her previous life, she was never shy about expressing her ambitions openly in public.

But at this time, Oda was still very young, but she was able to adjust her state quickly. It was not without reason that she became popular later.

In such an orderly shooting, time came to February 10th, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.

And today, the crew also welcomed the only guest actor, Chen Duling, who plays Tang Wenqi, the captain of the basketball school team cheerleading squad in the play.

The crew is going to shoot a scene on the basketball court today. In the center of the court, the male actor and extras are moving into position, and other actors are also on standby at their respective positions on the periphery.

"Director, Chen Duling is here."

As Lin Li's good friend, Chen Chao naturally knew his situation.

As soon as he saw Chen Duling arriving, he came over to remind Lin Li with a wink, and there was a hint of excitement in his words.

Lin Li glared at Chen Chao speechlessly, then looked in the direction he indicated.

From afar, a slender figure wearing a white short down jacket and blue jeans came into view.

With her hair draped over her shoulders, matching Chen Duling’s unique temperament, the cool and elegant female version of Dudu appears!

Lin Li stood up from in front of the monitor and greeted him with a smile: "Here you are, Dudu."

"Yes, come here and listen to Director Lin's instructions."

Chen Duling wrinkled her nose at him and made a playful joke, seeming to be in a good mood.

"Then I can look forward to Mr. Chen's performance. Let me introduce you to the actors in the crew. They are all young people and easy to get along with."

Lin Li also made a joke, and then took her to meet the leading actors of the crew.

At this time, several leading actors gathered together. Seeing Lin Li bringing Chen Duling over, Li Mingde and other male actors were all excitedly tidying up their appearances, looking like they had never seen the world. The two female leading actors narrowed their eyes and looked at Chen Duling who was walking slowly.

Tian Xiwei was also very alert at this time. She straightened her body instinctively, like a cat ready to pounce at any time, with a strong desire to fight burning in her big eyes!

"Let me introduce you all. This is Chen Duling. She's here to guest star in our show. Let's get to know each other."

The two of them stopped, Lin Li looked around at the leading actors and introduced Chen Duling.

"Yes, I know her. Who doesn't know Little Ear? Hello, I'm Li Mingde, and I play Tan Song in the drama."

Li Mingde excitedly introduced himself, looking like a fanboy.

Indeed, Chen Duling's trick is still very lethal to boys of Li Mingde's age.

"Hello, everyone. I am Chen Duling. Please give me your guidance."

Facing strangers, Chen Duling's face regained her reserved smile and she greeted everyone appropriately.

Several others responded and introduced themselves.

"Hello, Sister Duling, I'm Tian Xiwei, and I play Huang Chengzi in the play. Sister Duling, you are so beautiful, I can't tell that you have graduated for several years, you look no different from a high school student."

Tian Xiwei praised Chen Duling with an innocent look on her face, her two dimples slightly rippling.

"You are also very beautiful, with big eyes, very cute, no wonder you were chosen by Ali to be the heroine."

Chen Duling also responded to her with a decent smile, and at the same time looked at Tian Xiwei with some caution.

Girls' instinct made her feel that the other person was talking with a hidden agenda. Was he pointing out that she was too old?
"I'm just lucky. My appearance fits the image of the heroine in Director Lin's mind, so he made a special trip to Shanghai to find me and let me play this role, hehe."

"It's a skill to have a good fit with the role. It's hard to find actors who are particularly suitable for many roles. But you should also pay attention to separating yourself from the role after filming. Otherwise, if you get too deeply involved in a role, it will affect your future work and life."

"Sister Duling is right. Director Lin also said something similar to me. I have always kept Director Lin's words in mind."

"That's good. After all, we still have to distinguish between work and reality."

The two of them were talking to each other, and the people around them couldn't get a word in.

However, several leading actors were wondering in their hearts, why did this situation feel a little wrong?

Lin Li appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was racing. Why the hell did this feel like a Shura field?

Is the sixth sense between girls so strong? Do girls become hostile to each other the first time they meet?

Seeing that the situation was not right, he quickly winked at Chen Chao, who was watching the fun nearby, and signaled him to take action.

Unexpectedly, this guy stretched out five fingers with a smirk on his face and started to negotiate terms.

In a hurry, Lin Li was too lazy to bargain with him and quickly made an OK gesture to Chen Chao.

Chen Chao, who succeeded in extorting money, smiled as if he had succeeded in his evil plan and interrupted the conversation between the two girls: "Teacher Chen, let's go change into the clothes we will use for the photo shoot. The costume teacher is waiting over there."

Only then did the two women stop. Chen Duling responded, then glanced at Lin Li meaningfully, and followed Chen Chao to change clothes.

"Xiaotian, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Seeing Chen Duling walking away, Lin Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaotian who seemed to be nonchalant.

"Yeah, isn't this because I saw a big star? I'm quite excited."

Tian Xiwei responded with a grin, looking nonchalant, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Okay, let's get ready, the shooting will start soon."

Lin Li didn't point it out to her. He said hello to everyone and walked towards the surveillance camera.

Tian Xiwei looked at Lin Li's back and raised the corners of her mouth proudly.

After some probing just now, she could basically confirm that Chen Duling definitely had feelings for Lin Li.

So even though Lin Li told her that he and Chen Duling were just friends, she couldn't let her guard down.

After all, Lin Li treats her as a friend, but if Chen Duling takes the initiative, wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?
Feeling a sense of crisis, Tian Xiwei felt that she had to step up her offensive.

Now it is just Chen Duling. As Lin Li reveals his identity, he will definitely come into contact with more and more female artists. She feels that if she doesn’t hurry up and win him over, she will be in danger!

"I want to come on!"

Silently cheering herself up in her heart, Tian Xiwei clenched her fists, her two big watery eyes showing high morale.
