Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 21 Clouds move in all directions
The next morning, Lin Li went to the classroom as usual, but this time he was alone.

Because I was thinking about something, I didn't really listen to anything the whole time.

It was not until the class ended and everyone started to get up and leave that Lin Li reacted and prepared to leave with the crowd.

"Lin Li, come here. I have something to talk to you about."

Unexpectedly, when they reached the classroom door, they were stopped by their counselor Shen Shuping. Shen Shuping was from Shandong Province. He was tall and strong. Standing in front of Lin Li, who was over 1.8 meters tall, he felt quite oppressive.

Lin Li followed Shen Shuping and was a little curious: "Old Shen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After being together for almost two years, they have become very familiar with each other. In addition, Old Shen also knows his identity, so he has no reservations when speaking.

Shen Shuping turned back as he walked away: "It's not me who's looking for you, it's the principal who's looking for you. I think it's related to what happened yesterday. You can ask him yourself when you meet him."

After listening to what Old Shen said, Lin Li had an idea in his mind, and then he chatted with him casually and went to the principal's office.

"Principal, the people are here. You guys chat. I'll be busy now."

After knocking on the door and entering the principal's office, Shen Shuping greeted the principal who was sitting at the desk, then tactfully left.

"Ali, sit here. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

The principal greeted Lin Li kindly, then directed him to sit at the tea table nearby, then he sat down himself and began to boil water to make tea.

"Okay, Principal."

Lin Li responded and walked to the tea table and sat down.

Liu Wei, formerly a well-known professor at Renmin University, has served as the president of Renmin University since November 2015.

His research areas mainly include political economics, institutional economics and development economics, and he is a person with quite high academic attainments.

As for the others, being able to serve as the president of Renmin University says a lot in itself.

"What kind of tea would you like? How about Longjing?"

"I'm fine with that, Principal."

After the tea was brewed, Liu Wei filled their cups and looked at Lin Li: "I heard you were on the show."

Lin Li nodded: "Yes, Mango's dream life."

Liu Wei nodded: "So you are planning to reveal your identity, right?"

Lin Li took a sip of tea: "Yes, I wonder if the principal has any instructions?"

Liu Wei smiled and admired Lin Li's tact: "Since you are planning to reveal your identity now, the National People's Congress will also do some publicity around you. You just need to cooperate with the school's publicity department at that time."

Lin Li also grinned: "This is natural, and I am grateful to the school for cultivating me."

Liu Wei didn't take Lin Li's polite words seriously: "Don't be so modest. You were already famous before you were admitted to Renmin University. If you hadn't refused, the school would have promoted you as a talented writer. But I believe that Renmin University will be able to give you a lot of support in the future. We will complement each other, don't you think?"

Lin Li nodded in affirmation: "Of course, I have always been proud of being a student of Renmin University."

Liu Wei nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. This was not the first time he had dealt with Lin Li, so he had never treated Lin Li as a normal 21-year-old student. After all, geniuses are always different.

After chatting with the principal for about two hours, Lin Li stood up and said goodbye.

In fact, the school’s intention is very simple, to use Lin Li as a banner of this session of the National People’s Congress and to enhance the visibility of the National People’s Congress.

Of course, even if Renmin University does not need to be surrounded by universities, it is still one of the top universities.

However, whether it is Mizuki or Kyoto University, they all need well-known figures like Lin Li to demonstrate their own strength, and Renmin University is no exception.

Just like in Lin Li’s previous life, Lei Jun from Zhongguancun donated 1.3 billion yuan to Wuhan University at one time, shocking the people of the country and the entire university circle.

Yi Zhongtian, who was attending the Wuhan University anniversary celebration at the time, joked that he admired Lei Jun very much, as he himself could not even come up with thirteen dollars.

But in fact, both Lei Jun and him are outstanding representative figures of Wuhan University, representing the foundation of Wuhan University.

At the same time, at the Kiwifruit headquarters in Beijing.

In the solemnly decorated conference room, Kiwi founder Gong Yu was also venting his anger at a group of senior executives.

"I don't care what method you use, just contact Nan Xun for me. Even if you have to tailor a program for him, you have to invite him over. Do you understand?"

"As one of the three major platforms in China, Mango TV got the upper hand without any prior warning. Are you guys just sitting there doing nothing?"

"The company is going to go public next year, and what we lack now is topicality. No matter if it's good or bad, as long as the market pays attention, there will be investors willing to pay for it. Do I need to teach you this?"

Among all the major video platforms, no one has the energy to pay attention to the transition between the old and new leaders of Pants.

Almost all online video platforms are paying attention to the impact of Mango TV’s move.

The production teams of popular shows such as Running Man and Go Fighting have also held many meetings to discuss how to invite Nan Xun to take advantage of the popularity of this great writer.

Star City, Mango TV headquarters. The production team of "Yearning" is in a meeting, and director Wang Zhengyu is making arrangements in high spirits.

He previously worked at Zhejiang Satellite TV as publicity director.

During his tenure, he served as the publicity director of "China Dream Show", the publicity coordinator of "Dad is Back", the publicity director of "12 Tastes of Chef Nic", the publicity coordinator of "Running Man", and the chief planner of the movie "Running Man".

After leaving Zhejiang Satellite TV, he founded Hexin Media and then cooperated with Mango TV to carefully create the variety show "A Longing for Life".

Since its launch, although "Longing" has received excellent reviews, its ratings have been mediocre, so much so that the first six episodes of the show did not even have a sponsor.

But since yesterday's preview, the popularity online has remained high. He has a hunch that the ratings for the next show will definitely reach another peak and it will definitely be a hit!

Recalling when Huang Lei came to him and told him that he wanted to invite Lin Li to participate in the show, he didn't take it seriously and just thought that it was some personal relationship that Huang Lei wanted to expose on the show.

Later, Huang Lei told him that Lin Li was Nan Xun, and Wang Zhengyu suddenly felt like he was hit by a pie in the sky.

Is it finally my turn to be so rich?

But even though he had greatly raised his expectations, the reactions of everyone on yesterday's hot searches still caught him off guard.

Especially when half of the entertainment industry went to Nanxun’s Weibo to comment on the team-building event, he was surprised to realize Nanxun’s influence on the domestic entertainment industry.

So Wang Zhengyu quickly called together the program crew and held an emergency meeting.

"All previously edited content has been re-released, and the program duration has been extended by half an hour compared to before, with the main focus on Lin Li. At the same time, a VIP version will be released, with all the content focusing on Lin Li, and the focus will be on his interaction with Chen Duling."

"Also compose the music, and check everything in post-production. Make sure to make some of the details of the emojis and sound effects interesting. Do you understand?"

"Finally, if the ratings of this show can exceed 2, the bonuses of all the staff on the production team will be doubled!"

Wang Zhengyu issued instructions one after another, and all departments of the program group felt like they were complaining bitterly. But when Wang Zhengyu finished his last sentence, the people present suddenly burst into warm cheers.

Then, after Wang Zhengyu said "dismiss, get to work", everyone threw themselves into their work with high morale. If nothing unexpected happened, the entire program crew would have to work all night in the next few days.

In the next few days, Lin Li basically went back and forth between school and Wen Muye's studio, where he learned and practiced editing.

I have to say that Wen Mu is also a very good teacher. He taught him almost without reservation, which allowed him to gain a lot.

Then he took some time to go to the studio with Chen Chao. The decoration has basically been completed. This was also the first time Lin Li came here.

It must be said that Chen Chao was a good choice of location. He rented the entire 21st floor of Hanwei International Plaza, a top office building in Beijing, covering an area of ​​more than square meters.

As soon as you get out of the elevator, you can see the huge font of "Nanxun Culture". The entire font is composed of low-key black and gold, revealing a hint of luxury in its restraint.

The entire office is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. It is wonderful to stand in front of the window and look at the scenery outside during your free time at work.

In fact, strictly speaking, film and television companies can be divided into two types: one is investment company + production company + other businesses.

Another type is investment company + other businesses.

As film and television companies, both must first have the internal structure and functional departments of a general company.

The secretarial department, audit department, human resources and administrative department, finance department, and legal department are departments that most companies have.

Film and television companies are no exception, and specific departments will be developed based on the company's business.

For example, the TV drama department, film department, and artist department are the main departments of a film and television company.

The Entertainment Marketing Division, Cinema Division, and New Business Division are departments derived from the three departments and support these three businesses.

Currently, under the operation of Chen Chao, all departments of the company have been basically established except the film department and the artist department.

And Chen Chao, that bastard, definitely did it on purpose.

The girls in the secretariat and at the front desk are all pretty, this is an abuse of power.

But it’s better this way. If Xiaotian and Dudu ask him about it in the future, he can put all the blame on Chen Chao. Perfect!
The days passed one by one, and Lin Li's life for the next few days was to attend classes and think about the next work to be filmed.

Then I occasionally chatted with Dudu during the day. I guess she was still a little unhappy after the last time in Jiangcheng, so her replies were rather cold.

But he didn't take it seriously. After all, if she was really angry, she wouldn't reply to him. The little girl was just being upset.

In the evening, he would video chat with Xiaotian. Xiaotian would call him almost every day without fail. In particular, when he knew that "Longing for Love" was about to be broadcast, he was even more excited than him.

He was a little nervous, after all, he and Dudu had a lot of interactions on the show.

But this is all we can do now. If anything happens, we can coax her when the time comes.

As time went by, March 3th finally arrived, the day we had longed for to be broadcast.

When I started writing, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to sign a contract, because I saw many writers who wrote a lot but didn’t sign a contract in the writer assistant circle. Later, I updated two chapters at noon, and at 85 pm, the editor called me on the station to send a short message. I was excited and signed the contract. After signing, I was worried that no one would read it if it was not good, and I was worried that if someone read it, the performance would be bad and affect my motivation. I will read everyone’s comments. Many people say not to write 85 flowers or something like that. But I said before that I don’t hate 85 flowers. To be honest, I still like the Tang Dynasty Poet Immortals very much, but I am really tired of seeing them too much. But sometimes we brag in the author group, and we have to admit that the collection and subscription of 90 flowers is high. I will definitely write mainly for young flowers born in the 95s and 85s, but there will definitely be 85 flowers. I hope everyone understands that after all, I can’t just do it for love. If the performance is too bad in the later stage, it will really affect my writing mentality. Why are there so many people writing about flowers? Because they are really popular and old authors are familiar with them, so it is easy to write. Like me, I have to spend a lot of time every day checking the works, companies, and relationships of these young flowers in the circle. I hope you understand.
