Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 161: A series of heavy outputs
The scene of Renmin University’s anniversary event.

Jin Nuo's speech continued, and as she finished her last official statement, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

Jin Nuo looked around at the audience on the stage and joked: "I have been speaking on the stage for so long, I guess everyone is tired of it."

"I'm also online, and I know that everyone and the friends who are watching the live broadcast now are eagerly waiting for someone to go on stage, right?"

Now there was a sudden burst of good-natured laughter.

Jin Nuo smiled slightly: "If that's the case, I won't be that annoying person. Now, please invite our Renmin University student representative, Lin Li, who is also a famous writer and director, to come to the stage to give a speech and chat with everyone about some light topics, okay?"

"it is good!"

There was a response from the audience. Jin Nuo smiled and then slowly walked off the stage from the side.

As she walked down the stage, a figure that everyone had been waiting for finally walked out from the backstage with steady steps and entered the sight of everyone online and offline.

There was warm cheering at the scene, and the whole atmosphere seemed to become lively for a moment.

Lin Li walked straight to the microphone in the center of the stage, took the microphone and raised it, looking up at everyone present.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on the center and gave a generous and decent smile.

"Good morning, dear Secretary Jin Nuo, President Liu Wei, dear teachers, dear students, and all the alumni who have come here specially today."

"I am today's student representative, Lin Li."

As Lin Li finished his opening remarks, there was another round of warm cheers and applause, mixed with voices such as "Senior brother is so handsome" and "Nanjing University is the best".

Zhang Lei, who was in the audience, was laughing and clapping, while he turned to Liu Qiangdong beside him and whispered jokingly: "Our junior brother is really popular!"

Liu Qiangdong clapped his hands while staring at the stage and responded: "If you were as handsome as our junior, you would definitely be popular."

Zhang Lei shook his head with a smile and turned his gaze back to the stage.

Today, Lin Li is still dressed simply as always, with a pure white short-sleeved shirt, black cropped pants, and a pair of white flat shoes, which is simple and neat.

He had his hair cut short on purpose and his facial features look even more distinct today. The slightly raised corners of his lips matched with his outfit today, and he exudes a confident, sunny and handsome feeling.

Live barrage.

“Ahhh! Today’s sunny version of Nanda!”

"So handsome, my sunny and handsome senior!"

“Nanda Nanda!”

"I finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up!"

“I like the simple style of NTU more and more.”

……

Lin Li raised his hand to suppress the noise, and the noise at the scene gradually subsided.

Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Lin Li raised the microphone in his hand and spoke calmly with a smile on his face.

“I am very honored to participate in such a memorable event as the 80th anniversary of Renmin University and give a speech as a student representative.”

“I am deeply honored to see so many young faces in the audience and so many outstanding alumni returning from all over the world.”

"The first topic I want to talk to you about today is choosing to be friends with time."

After Lin Li finished speaking, he paused. A noisy discussion broke out at the scene. Many people were talking about the topic that Lin Li had just mentioned, and were curious about its content.

Lin Li waited for a while with a smile on his face. When the discussions died down, he paced on the stage and spoke slowly.

“I hope everyone will choose to be friends with time. As a member of the School of Economics, my own feeling is that if you look at problems and make choices with a long-term perspective, time will naturally become your friend.”

“The only thing that doesn’t change in this world is change itself.”

"There is a saying that goes 'it is better to look at the long term', which means we should look at the long term and the big picture, look at the future and the overall situation."

“We should learn from Zhu Yuanzhang’s strategy of ‘storing up food supplies, building high walls, and slowly becoming king’. This strategy is effective in starting a business, and it also applies to your life.”

“To be friends with time requires strong self-discipline and a sense of responsibility from the heart.”

"In a world where most people are obsessed with "instant gratification", those who understand the principle of "delayed gratification" have already won. I call this choosing to delay the enjoyment of success."

"I hope everyone can stick to their own inner choices and not be arrogant or impatient. Good stories all come from challenging lives."

“Persevere and time will eventually become your friend. I would like to share this with all my classmates and alumni.”

There was another round of thunderous applause at the scene.

Jin Nuo and others in the front row looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Li's narration continued. After getting into the state, he felt very relaxed.

"The second point is that we must not only master the ability of scientific thinking, but also keep the spark of humanistic spirit in our hearts."

"In today's era, with the development of genetic technology, robotics and artificial intelligence technology, the explosion of science and technology and the approach of the singularity, mankind will enter a new era and our lives will also face huge challenges."

"Studying and living in Renmin University has given us a broad vision and humanistic feelings, which will help us remain calm in the face of chaos and complexity in the world, and constantly question the essence of problems."

“As someone who loves writing, I have three words that I particularly like.”

"Adhere to the right and use the unusual", "Three thousand rivers of water, but only take one scoop", "Peach and plum trees are silent, yet people come to them of their own accord". These three sentences come from Tao Te Ching, The Analects of Confucius and Records of the Grand Historian respectively.

“Although most of the tools and methods of modern financial investment originated in the West, I still prefer our excellent Chinese philosophical thoughts and traditional national culture when it comes to how to use these tools well.”

"We must have full cultural confidence, cherish the cultural soil that the National People's Congress has provided us, and absorb nutrition from it."

“The past is not gone, the future is here.”

“I hope that our students at Renmin University, no matter what industry they enter or what job they do in the future, can remain optimistic and passionate, use humanistic feelings to polish themselves and beautify the people around them.”

"Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance."

"I sincerely wish you all to bravely embrace change with the courage to do what no one else can do."

“Use the first principles to continuously explore the value origin of the world, use the humanistic spirit to light up the lighthouse in your heart, think big, think long!”

As Lin Li finished his last sentence, cheers broke out from the audience. Everyone was impressed by his words and started to applaud spontaneously.

Liu Wei also clapped his hands in satisfaction from the audience. After listening to Lin Li's speech today, he felt that his long-term support and optimism were worth it.

"Our junior brother is truly a great writer. His ability to speak eloquently and quote from classics is beyond my reach." Zhang Lei sighed as he clapped his hands while watching Lin Li on the stage talking effortlessly.

Liu Qiangdong standing by also nodded in agreement.

"What a talent! He is such a successful writer. From his speech just now, I can tell that he has his own unique insights on economics and investment, but we didn't discuss it in depth. After listening to him, I want to recruit him to the company."

Zhang Lei shook his head and laughed: "Don't even think about it, but this junior brother is worth making friends with."

Liu Qiangdong glanced at Lin Li on the stage and nodded slightly: "Of course."

On the barrage.

“Although I didn’t understand it, I was shocked!”

“I feel like NTU is glowing!”

"I felt like I was listening to a foreign language, but judging by the reactions on the scene, it seemed like it was quite impressive."

“Smart people are already taking notes, like me!”

"Ahhh! Nanda is so handsome!"

……

Lin Li smiled and waited for the audience to quiet down. When it was finally noisy, he spoke lightly.

"Just before he went on stage, Secretary Jin Nuo said that our alumni donations for this anniversary celebration have reached 1 billion yuan."

“I think this number is good, but it’s not quite there.”

“Perfection is good, but perfection is even better.”

"So I decided that after the anniversary celebrations, I will sign a donation agreement with the school and donate 1 million yuan in my personal name to contribute to the construction of our Renmin University."

"This is also to support the exploration and development of innovative interdisciplinary disciplines in the long term, and it is also a token of my appreciation for the 80th anniversary of Renmin University."

As soon as the words fell, the scene suddenly exploded!

Everyone looked at Lin Li on the stage in surprise. They didn't expect that he could handle such a big thing so calmly!
"Are we living like dogs?"

Liu Qiangdong glanced at Zhang Lei beside him and couldn't help but complain.

Zhang Lei laughed in silence, then agreed: "When I was his age, I couldn't even take out 10,000 yuan."

"Who isn't!"

Liu Qiangdong responded speechlessly.

However, the two of them did not stop their movements at all, and their eyes were full of admiration for Lin Li on the stage.

On the barrage.

"Did I hear it wrong? How much does NTU want to donate?"

"One hundred million! Holy shit, one hundred million!"

"Is Nanda so rich? He asked for 100 million right away!"

"I suddenly realized that my husband has become more handsome!"

"How many zeros are there in one hundred million?"

……

Korea.

Cheng Xiao, who was watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone in the nanny car, opened his mouth into a big "O" and couldn't close it for a long time.

Wu Xuanyi, who was half asleep, turned around and was stunned when she saw Cheng Xiao, then she turned her eyes to her mobile phone.

"So you like Nanda too, Xiaoxiao. I wanted to watch this live broadcast, but I was too sleepy and my schedule was too tight these days."

Wu Xuanyi's voice startled Cheng Xiao. She turned her head to look at Wu Xuanyi and spoke in a daze.

"Teacher Nanxun just donated 100 million."

"what?"

Wu Xuanyi was stunned and didn't react.

"I said that Teacher Nanxun just donated 100 million to Renmin University!"

"what!"

Wu Xuanyi exclaimed, then took Cheng Xiao's phone to look at the barrage, and was also stunned.

She looked up at Cheng Xiao, and the two of them stared at each other like two dazed owls.

-

Lin Li was on the stage watching the reactions from the audience and thought the effect was pretty good, basically within his expectations.

Seeing that it was almost time, he planned to say a few closing remarks and prepare to leave the stage.

At this time, Liu Wei in the audience suddenly stood up and raised the microphone: "Lin Li, first of all, thank you for your support for the school. On behalf of the school, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

"The student union just received a lot of feedback. Many of our students at Renmin University have questions for you. They have selected two representatives to ask you questions. Do you have any questions?"

Lin Li maintained a calm smile and raised the microphone: "Of course there is no problem."

"Okay, then let them ask their questions."

Liu Wei nodded to Lin Li and sat back in his seat.

As a boy in a plaid shirt in the seat below stood up and raised the microphone, the question-and-answer session officially began.

After these few chapters, I will no longer explain the identity and status of the male protagonist. The main reason is that some book friends in the previous comments were confused and asked about it.

Another point is that, in fact, by the time point of 17, if there were no special events and means to support it, even if the original work was improved, it would not have a very high box office.

To put it bluntly, it is another form of hype, similar to "Hi, Mom". It makes sense that some special points attract audiences to go to the cinema because of certain people and things.

It took me a long time to write this chapter, and I revised it many times.
