Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 191 Xiaotian and Zhang Jingyi's meeting
On the other side, the mountain city.

After hanging up the phone, Tian Xiwei looked up at the big words "Old Friend. Jiuzao Sangang Hotpot" on the door, then glanced at the path next to her to make sure she was not in the wrong place.

She lifted up her mask to breathe, then put it back on and continued walking down.

It’s so hot in the mountain city that I start sweating just by standing for a while.

After walking a few steps, I met two men leaning against the side wall of the downhill slope, talking and laughing.

"Oh, sorry, there's a film crew filming ahead, so it's inconvenient to pass through."

When the two men saw someone approaching, they immediately stood up and blocked Tian Xiwei's way.

"Hello, I'm here to visit you."

Tian Xiwei took off her mask to reveal a small face the size of a palm with a smile on her face.

"It's Teacher Tian. Please wait a moment. I'll notify the director right away."

"OK, thanks."

Tian Xiwei smiled kindly and was very polite.

The male staff member got through on the phone and explained the situation to the other end, which took only about ten seconds. Then he decisively hung up the phone and politely said that he could take her over.

Tian Xiwei expressed her gratitude again, and then told another staff member that the coffee and fruit she ordered would be delivered soon, and asked him to pay attention to receive them. The staff member repeatedly assured her that there was no problem.

Daxing Village is an old community with several decades of history. The buildings in the community basically maintain the appearance of decades ago. The houses appear a bit old, the streets are relatively narrow, and the local people from the mountain city who live here are also relatively old.

It is a sunny day today. The bright sunlight pouring through the big trees adds a different touch of color to this old community.

On set.

The footage of the four-member group from Daxing Village was being filmed. Peng Yuchang took the lead with Zhang Yaqin and a few others to play around in front of the camera, occasionally uttering a few words in the not-so-authentic mountain city dialect.

Zhao Qian sat in front of the monitor and watched the performance of several people with a frown on his face. It was not that there was anything wrong with their performances, but that the dialect was really hard to pronounce. Under this circumstance, he could only rely on post-production dubbing.

Off camera, Zhang Jingyi today wore a white shirt with a blue pleated skirt, looking pure at first glance.

Many girls have an image of a boy wearing a white shirt in their minds, but when a girl wears a white shirt, she looks both pure and cute.

Zhang Jingyi added black bow decorations to her seemingly old-fashioned clothes, making her look youthful and lively.

There is no scene for her now, she is holding the script in her hand and reciting the lines over and over again.

She has always worked very hard, harder than anyone else, because she doesn't want to let Lin Li down.

Of course, she didn't want to give senior Zhou Ye the opportunity to show off in front of her.

She thought of the hot searches in the morning and knew that Zhou Ye would start filming Lin Li’s new movie soon. The competition between the two of them officially began.

Thinking of this, she clenched the script in her hand, put aside all distractions, and immersed herself in it more attentively.

"Ok?"

A noisy commotion outside the set attracted Zhang Jingyi's attention. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and slender figure through the crowd of onlookers.

Who is this?
Zhang Jingyi was a little curious. She thought it was probably another friend of one of the leading actors in the crew who came to visit the set. They knew many more people in the circle than she did.

Of course, I know the most powerful one.

Lin Li's handsome face appeared in her mind, and Zhang Jingyi was infatuated with him for a moment.

"Hello, Zhang Jingyi."

A sweet voice woke up Zhang Jingyi who was daydreaming.

She raised her eyes and looked in front of her, and a round face that looked very childish came into view.

Such big eyes!

This was Zhang Jingyi’s first reaction.

Looks so cute.

This was Tian Xiwei’s first impression.

"Hello, Teacher Tian Xiwei, I'm Zhang Jingyi."

Recognizing the sweet girl in front of her who she had seen many times in hot search comments not long ago, Zhang Jingyi greeted her politely.

"Oh, you're welcome. We're about the same age. Just call me Xiaotian."

"I'm here to visit Sijie, oh yes, that is, Zhang Yaqin. I saw you here so I came over to say hello and get to know you."

Tian Xiwei has two dimples on her cheeks and looks enthusiastic.

"Okay, Xiaotian, you can also call me Jingyi. Everyone calls me that."

"I know. Yaqin told me that you two were roommates."

Zhang Jingyi smiled lightly, her eyes clear and tight.

"Jingyi, you are very beautiful. No wonder you can become the heroine."

Tian Xiwei looked Zhang Jingyi up and down and praised her sincerely.

Originally, after seeing many people comparing her with Zhang Jingyi on the Internet, she had been thinking about finding an opportunity to meet this person.

Unexpectedly, when they met today, Zhang Jingyi gave her a very good feeling, a very obedient sister, who looked much more comfortable than that Zhao Lusi.

"No way, Xiaotian, you are so beautiful!"

Zhang Jingyi stared at Xiaotian in front of her, especially when her gaze swept over a certain place, there was deep envy in her eyes.

Today, Oda wore a light yellow suspender top with a denim skirt and a loose plaid shirt on the outside, which was both casual and fashionable.

The most important thing is that Zhang Jingyi looked at the bulging curves in front of her and suddenly wanted to ask her if she had any secret recipe.

“Okay, okay, let’s stop bragging about each other, come on, let’s sit down and talk.

Tian Xiwei walked up to Zhang Jingyi and held her hand affectionately, then pulled her to sit on a wooden bench under the shade of a tree.

Zhang Jingyi naturally followed suit. She sat down obediently and began to face the questions thrown by Tian Xiwei one after another.

From zodiac sign to height, from why I wanted to apply to Beijing Film Academy to be an actor to how I got the interview for Feng Quan, there seemed to be a hundred thousand questions.

She seems to be very interested in me, Zhang Jingyi thought silently.

"Oda, you're here."

The two chatted for a while, and just when Zhang Jingyi was exhausted, Zhang Yaqin finally showed up to save her. "Yes, I came to visit you. Long time no see, Yaqin."

When Tian Xiwei saw Zhang Yaqin, she stood up happily, held her hands, and looked at her with a smile.

"Why did you cut your hair so short?"

"It's what the role requires! You think that in a drama like yours, you can just make it as beautiful as you want."

"It's a huge sacrifice. How was the shoot? Did it go smoothly?"

"I tell you……"

As soon as the two good roommates met, they started talking instantly and couldn't stop.

Zhang Jingyi just watched and smiled at the side, without disturbing the two people who were chatting enthusiastically.

At this time, Eddie Peng and several other leading actors also came over. Because they had met and had dinner together last time when Tian Xiwei visited the crew of "The Tragedy of the Rebels", they greeted them enthusiastically.

Peng Yuchang took the time to secretly glance at Zhang Jingyi beside him, fearing that she would say something inappropriate.

After all, others may not know, but he knows that the Tian Xiwei in front of him and Lin Li are not just friends.

As for Zhou You, Zhang Youhao and others, they kept looking at Tian Xiwei. They were very curious about this new and popular star who had outstanding fame, figure and appearance.

Seeing this, Peng Yuchang decided to take some time to remind his brothers later to not ruin their future by accident.

"Teacher Tian is here, and he brought so many things with him. Thank you so much."

After a few people exchanged greetings for a while, Zhao Qian walked over with a smile and greeted Tian Xiwei.

"Hey, Director Zhao, you're too polite. Just call me Xiaotian."

Tian Xiwei maintained a humble attitude and greeted Zhao Qian generously and appropriately.

"Oh, I dare not address you as such. It is too polite."

"Then let's do this, everyone. At noon, we'll find an authentic Sichuan and Chongqing hotpot restaurant nearby to welcome Xiaotian, okay?"

Zhao Qian waved his hands repeatedly and started to arrange the lunch.

The actors naturally responded enthusiastically. Even the dumbest person could see that their director thought highly of Tian Xiwei.

They were also a little surprised. Logically speaking, even if Tian Xiwei was very popular now, Zhao Qian would not be so polite to her.

After all, he has an impressive resume as an assistant director of a movie with a box office of 25 billion yuan. Now he is directing Feng Quan as the chief director, and his word is law on the set.

"Thank you Director Zhao for your hospitality."

Tian Xiwei curved her beautiful eyes and smiled faintly.

After saying that, Zhao Qian began to arrange people to find a place, while Tian Xiwei continued to chat with Zhang Yaqin and Zhang Jingyi, and the atmosphere was quite good for a while.

Zhou You touched Zhang Youhao's arm, signaled to Tian Xiwei with his eyes, and whispered: "Not bad, beautiful and with a good figure."

Zhang Youhao nodded in agreement and stared closely at Tian Xiwei who was immersed in the heated conversation.

The other two, Liang Jingkang, also nodded continuously, their eyes fixed on Tian Xiwei and couldn't move away.

"You guys should be careful, there are some people you can't have your say on."

With a forced smile, Eddie Peng stepped between the two of them, looked at the three girls who were chatting enthusiastically, and warned them in a voice that only they could hear.

"What's going on here? Are you interested? If you are interested, just tell me. Brothers, let's compete fairly."

Zhou You put his arm around Peng Yuchang's shoulder, looking very generous.

"Think about how she got so popular, you idiot."

Peng Yuchang glanced at him unhappily, giving him a precise reminder.

Zhou You and the others were stunned at first, and then they began to recall Tian Xiwei's experience of becoming famous.

Suddenly, several people's eyes widened and they looked at each other, all of them seeing through each other's thoughts.

Then they belatedly recalled Zhao Qian's attitude towards Tian Xiwei, and "hiss", the young men suddenly felt a chill in their bodies in the hot weather.

"Swish"

After realizing what was happening, they quickly retracted their gazes, not daring to look even once more.

The atmosphere at the lunch gathering was very strange. The usually lively and cheerful male leading actors seemed to have lost their energy. Except for Eddie Peng who was still livening up the atmosphere, the others were like shy little boys and did not dare to say much.

In addition, there was still filming in the afternoon, so the lunch was over in just over an hour.

Zhang Jingyi vaguely guessed something from Zhao Qian's performance and the reactions of several male protagonists, and suddenly felt a blockage in her heart.

Outside a hotpot restaurant.

The main actors of the crew and Tian Xiwei began to greet each other and say goodbye. Because they still had filming to do, Tian Xiwei took her leave consciously after the meal.

"Jingyi, now we have the contact information, let's have dinner together when we have the chance."

Tian Xiwei made an agreement with Zhang Jingyi with a smile on her face.

"Okay, sure."

Zhang Jingyi kept smiling and responded calmly.

"Goodbye, Jingyi."

"Goodbye, Oda."

Only after watching Tian Xiwei get into the car and leave did Zhang Jingyi put away her smile. With an expressionless face, she followed Zhang Yaqin and others into the car to return to the crew.

"Yaqin, is Xiaotian with Director Lin?"

In the back seat of the car, after thinking it over, Zhang Jingyi finally couldn't help but ask Zhang Yaqin to confirm her guess.

"Huh? How do you know?"

Zhang Yaqin looked surprised.

really!

Zhang Jingyi seemed to have all her strength drained away in an instant. She leaned softly in the back seat of the car, her eyes gradually losing focus.
