Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 214 Silent Understanding

As the waiters brought the dishes, everyone's attention was drawn to them. Chen Duling and the others stopped talking and turned their attention to the sumptuous dishes.

The conversation just now had caused some ripples in the hearts of Zhang Ruonan and the others.

Zhang Ruonan knew that Chen Duling was already very suspicious of her.

Although Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi were not deliberately targeted by Chen Duling, they also heard a warning from Chen Duling's words just now.

The silent warning meant that she had also sensed the potential threat from the two of them, or had seen some clues.

"This sister is quite amazing."

While picking up her chopsticks, Li Yitong secretly glanced at the seemingly gentle Chen Duling and made an evaluation in her heart.

Especially when seeing Lin Li's attitude towards Chen Duling, he understood even more the position of Chen Duling in his heart.

One step faster, every step faster!

Li Yitong felt a little regretful that she had not met Lin Li earlier.

Although she was very open-minded and never thought about asking for any status.

But seeing the closeness and respect that Lin Li showed to Chen Duling still made her very envious.

Especially the inexplicable feeling of guilt I had when facing Chen Duling just now was really annoying.

Meng Ziyi was no longer careless at this time, she naturally knew the relationship between Chen Duling and Lin Li.

After all, the last time she visited the set, Chen Duling openly admitted that she was with Lin Li.

At that time, Zhang Ruonan had not yet succeeded.

She didn't even have the confidence to face Zhang Ruonan, let alone Chen Duling.

And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Chen Duling’s aura now is much stronger than the last time they met.

Just listening to the conversation between her and Zhang Ruonan just now made her feel oppressed.

After much thought, she could only attribute it to the success of Chen Duling's movie, which made her more confident.

Lin Li naturally saw the conversation between the few people just now clearly, and he was also surprised at the change in Dudu.

It seems that success in career does enhance a person's overall temperament, especially since Dudu has recently shot so many high-end luxury advertising campaigns, including the one she's wearing today, all of which are haute couture.

There is a saying in the entertainment industry that fame brings prosperity, and Lin Li feels that this is embodied in Dudu.

Most importantly, Lin Li knew that Dudu was certain that he would support her.

Miss Chen Duling is so amazing now!
Lin Li looked at Chen Duling with some emotion, remembering that when he first met her, she was still a girl who would blush when she talked too much.

There have been quite a lot of changes this year.

However, he was very relieved.

Of course, Xiao Zhang has made great progress as he was able to remain calm in the face of such a Dudu.

Xiao Zhang's popularity has grown explosively since his success, especially he has a rare group of male fans who chase after him all day long, calling him his wife, but they are often teased by him.

Now he can calmly deal with the powerful Dudu, and he has grown a lot compared to when he was in the Tragic Rebellion crew.

At that time, she was only slightly better than Ruth.

Chen Duling felt Lin Li's gaze and looked up at him in confusion.

When she saw Lin Li's eyes, she was stunned, then came to her senses and gave Lin Li a gentle smile in return.

Lin Li understands her, and she also knows Lin Li. He is the biggest confidence for everything she does.

Therefore, she never quarreled with Lin Li. This was their silent understanding.

Lin Li also smiled, knowing that Dudu's probing for today would end here.

The meal was quite lively, especially since Lin Gengxin kept bringing up topics and Lin Li cooperated with him in the discussions. Others also joined in the discussion from time to time, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

But after all, they didn't drink any alcohol, and after a little over an hour, they had almost finished eating. Lin Li suggested going back to the company, and everyone agreed.

After returning to Nanxun Culture, the crew went back to the film and television department, while Lin Li took Chen Duling back to his office.

After entering the office, Lin Li locked the door casually, put his arms around Chen Duling and pushed her against the door, all in one smooth move.

"What's wrong Dudu?"

Lin Li wanted to kiss Chen Duling, but she blocked her lips with her palm. Lin Li pretended to be confused.

"Don't pretend with me. Tell me what's going on between you and Zhang Ruonan."

Chen Duling had an expression that said "I see through you" on her face, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Li.

"No problem, Ruonan does have the right image."

"Her popularity skyrocketed after the success of Bei Ni. Mr. Wang from Guangguang also planned to promote her and called me many times."

"I thought that with our good relationship with Guangguang, Ruonan is also a familiar person, and now she is also very popular, so all things considered, she is indeed a suitable candidate. Director Wei and the others also think Ruonan is good, so we decided on her."

Lin Li blurted out the speech he had prepared long ago, and Chen Duling nodded repeatedly.

"What you said makes sense and I almost believed it."

Chen Duling nodded repeatedly and looked at Lin Li with a half-smile.

"Really, you have to believe me."

Lin Li's eyes were sincere, and he used the best acting skills of his life.

"Although what you said is impeccable and I have no evidence, you have to trust a woman's sixth sense."

"Ali, just because I don't tell you something doesn't mean I don't know it."

"I don't know how far you and her have come."

"I don't know how close you and Oda are."

"I hope that if you don't plan to separate from me, you will continue to hide it from me."

"Okay?"

Chen Duling put down the hands that were blocking her mouth, and instead stretched out her hands to hug Lin Li's neck, then raised her face and stared at Lin Li.

The voice was as cool as water, and it seemed as if he had made some decision.

Lin Li stared at Chen Duling for a moment without saying a word. He tightened his hands on her waist, lowered his head to find her two thin lips, and bit them gently.

"No~"

Chen Duling let out a low moan and pressed Lin Li's neck down with both hands. Lin Li cooperated very well and kissed him harder and deeper.

Some things don't need words, it's enough for both of you to understand.

After kissing for a while, Lin Li's hands on Chen Duling's waist gradually began to become a little dishonest. He slowly moved down, then gently lifted it up, and then his hands went in and stroked the smooth skin.

"No, we're at the company." Chen Duling's little face had turned pink at this moment. She took advantage of the gap to take a breath to control Lin Li's hands, preventing him from going any further.

"Why, after so long, you don't miss me?"

Lin Li rubbed the skin on Chen Duling's waist back and forth, his forehead pressed tightly against hers, with a hint of desire in his tone.

"Of course I did, but not here. I don't want to become the topic of conversation in your company."

Chen Duling had a look of anger on her face, trying her best to resist the strange feeling brought by Lin Li's hands.

"Actually, the soundproofing in my office is pretty good."

Lin Li kissed Chen Duling's mouth corners, forehead, and cheeks lightly or heavily, with a seductive tone in his words.

"No, no."

"Please hold on for a while and come back when you're done."

There was already a layer of mist in Chen Duling's eyes, and she begged weakly.

"Okay, I'll let you go for now."

"How about you take a rest on the sofa for a while, and I'll take a look at the script to see if there's anything that needs to be revised, okay?"

Lin Li withdrew his hands, stroked Chen Duling's slightly hot face, and spoke softly.

"Well, go ahead and do your work. I can do it myself."

Chen Duling looked up at him, her voice gentle.

"Well, come here."

Lin Li responded, pulled her to sit on the sofa, poured her a cup of hot water, then gently tapped her forehead and returned to sit behind his desk.

Chen Duling watched Lin Li sit back down, a faint smile on her face, holding the water cup in her hand.

In this way, Lin Li was busy at his desk, while Chen Duling was leaning on the sofa to rest and fiddling with his mobile phone.

From time to time, the two looked up and met each other's eyes, smiled at each other, and enjoyed the rare time together.

At around three o'clock, Lin Li saw that it was almost time, so he said hello to Chen Duling and got up to go to the Film and Television Department.

As the original author and screenwriter, he still has to show up eventually.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, everyone looked over.

"Hello, Teacher Nanxun."

"Hi everyone, how are things going, is everything going well for everyone?"

While greeting everyone, Lin Li sat down next to Wei Shujun and pressed his palm to signal everyone to sit down.

"What did Director Wei say?"

Seeing all the leading actors shaking their heads to indicate that it was okay, Lin Li looked at Wei Shujun.

"Basically there's no problem with the performance, the only thing is... well, Geng Xin's accent, it looks like I can only rely on dubbing."

Wei Shujun looked at Lin Gengxin, who was silently covering his face, and shook his head helplessly.

"Puch"

Meng Ziyi, who was sitting next to Lin Gengxin, couldn't help but laughed out loud with his hands covering his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Meng Ziyi quickly apologized.

Sister Meng, you are worthy of being me!
"Brother Xin, I thought our sister Meng was also from the north, so why doesn't she have an accent?"

Lin Li was puzzled and raised questions.

"What Sister Meng? What are you talking about, Director Lin?"

Before Lin Gengxin could say anything, Meng Ziyi was already furious.

She is a young, beautiful girl, how can you call her like this in front of so many people, like an older sister!
"Oh, sorry, I shouted out my real thoughts."

"But Ziyi, don't you think that your actions can't keep up with your brain, and that makes you look like a nagging elder sister?"

"Don't you think so, Sister Meng?"

Lin Li didn't care at all about Meng Ziyi's furious expression and continued to complain.

Everyone at the scene laughed when they heard this, and they looked at Meng Ziyi with interesting and kind smiles in their eyes.

Li Yitong's eyes flashed and she instantly understood Lin Li's intention.

This is to give the crew members a heads-up in advance, so that everyone knows Meng Ziyi's character, so that if she makes any verbal mistakes in the crew in the future, after what happened today, no one will take it too seriously.

Little brother, you are very thoughtful.

Li Yitong glanced at Lin Li and felt more and more that he was a very skilled scumbag.

After coaxing Chen Duling, he came to give warmth to Meng Ziyi.

It really doesn't delay either end, bah!

"you you……"

Meng Ziyi's face turned red, but he didn't know how to refute. He kept talking to you for a long time but you didn't come out.

"Ha ha"

"Oh my god, I am dying of laughter"

All the actors were laughing so hard that they were shaking. They felt that Lin Li's evaluation of Meng Ziyi was so fair. They also felt that Meng Ziyi's performance was really funny and a little different from what they had heard before.

"Okay, just kidding, don't be angry, Ziyi."

"As for Geng Xin, we'll do the dubbing later."

"We can discuss any other questions later. You guys continue. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Lin Li gave Meng Ziyi a way out and smiled at her angry expression.

Once she calms down, she will slowly react. After all, our Sister Meng is not really stupid, it’s just that her brain and limbs are not coordinated enough.

Amid the farewells, Lin Li and Li Yitong winked at each other subtly, earning a nice eye roll from her.

No one present noticed this scene, only Lu Yangyang, who was next to Li Yitong, saw the subtle interaction between the two because of the close distance, and suddenly a flash of enlightenment came to his mind.

It is said that Li Yitong had auditioned for the female lead before, but ended up playing Ai Qing. It seems that the efforts of teacher Nan Xun were indispensable in this process.

But judging from the situation at noon, shouldn’t this man’s girlfriend be Chen Duling?
Lu Yangyang was a little confused.
