Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 26 Preparation
Lin Li, who was already very busy, had just finished editing the trailer when, because of a meeting with Wu Wenfei, he began to be chased by Sun Lang to discuss book signing matters.

Helplessly, after many communications, it was finally decided that Lin Li’s first personal signing event would be held at the Beijing Book Building at 3 pm on Saturday, March 25th.

Penguin Creative quickly produced a promotional poster and attached a registration link.

Taking into account the large number of Linli's book fans, a lottery was adopted, and eventually one thousand lucky fans were drawn to enter the signing event.

Taking into account the problem of scalpers, a real-name entry system is adopted, and the qualification cannot be transferred after being drawn.

We had just confirmed it with Sun Lang in the morning, and in the afternoon Penguin Cultural and Creative couldn’t wait to announce the news through all major platforms and channels.

The official Weibo account of Penguin Culture and Creative was also quickly pushed to the top of the hot searches.

"Finally, it's been seven years. Do you know how I've been living like this for these seven years?"

"This belated book signing event is finally here!"

"God bless you, pick me! Pick me!"

"Let's go to the capital, my husband, here I come!"

"The person above is too superficial, we fans of the book are all attracted by the talent of Nan Da, sha~"

"The one upstairs, why don't you wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth before you say this?"

At the same time, in the courtyard of a villa in Beijing.

A figure wrapped in a very rustic liver-colored down jacket was squatting on the ground, holding a mobile phone and looking at the content just released by Penguin Creative Culture.

Around her, more than ten cats of different breeds were circling around her and acting coquettishly.

But even if she wears very rustic clothes, it is difficult to hide the expression on the girl's face that is hard to ignore.

She has a standard oval face with a smooth face shape and a round chin.

A pair of peach blossom eyes. The eyes are not very big, but the black pupils account for a large proportion, as if they have the effect of built-in beauty contact lenses.

Although her nose is very straight, it has a certain hump. However, the root of her nose is of appropriate height, the tip of her nose is delicate and small, and the overall nose is in harmony with her face shape.

The lips are full and round, with obvious bead and rosy color. They are more like pouty lips but also have some sharpness. When she smiles occasionally, she looks dignified and elegant.

In fact, the girl's facial features are not outstanding when viewed individually, but when combined together, they are beautiful and elegant, with the beauty of traditional Chinese classical beauty.

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin, and this is fully reflected in her.

"Dongdong, don't bully Diudiu, or I'll be angry!"

The girl noticed that there was a black cat next to her bullying a Garfield who was much smaller than it, and she quickly shouted to stop it.

But the sound was soft and melodious, and had no deterrent effect.

After finally giving the black cat named Dongdong a lesson, the girl picked up her phone again and clicked on the link on the page.

With the slender fingertips, he filled in the required information and clicked to confirm and submit.

After putting the phone in her pocket, the girl turned her gaze to the cats playing in the yard and muttered to herself.

"I've read so many of your books, so I'll go and see what kind of person you are this time."

In the following time, Lin Li once again lived a life of going back and forth between two points.

If there are important classes, I will attend them. If not, I will stay in Wen Muye’s studio to catch up on post-production.

After the last blockade incident, the Renmin University authorities issued a strict order prohibiting students from blockading Lin Li on campus again, asking the majority of students to have more reserve as students of a top university, which attracted complaints from many students of Renmin University.

What, do you think we can chase anyone? Why don't you try to catch an ordinary star? I won't even look at him.

But can Nanxun be the same? He is a genius writer, and the most important thing is that he is one of our own people!

Students from Renmin University have been so proud recently that they don’t even take Kyoto University and Mizuki University seriously!

Many college students have been commenting online recently: "What? Whose university doesn't have a student who is handsome, a phenomenal writer, and can be a director? No way, no way, your school doesn't have one, right?"

These remarks have drawn condemnation from major universities across the country, especially several major universities in Beijing, which are so angry that they want to poach people from Renmin University.

Lin Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard these remarks. Did I become a tool for you to mock other universities?
Recently, Xiaotian also complained during a phone call with him that ever since the preview on Weibo, the Shanghai Theatre Academy knew that he would become the leading actress of Lin Li, and recently all the people have been rushing to get close to her, which makes her very annoyed.

Lin Li could only comfort her. Now Xiaotian contacted him almost every day and tried to inquire about their current relationship several times, but he evaded the question every time.

Just kidding, it's okay to understand, but it's different to say it out loud. How can you give up a forest for a tree?
Dudu has also been contacting him frequently recently, although she hasn't been particularly proactive in expressing her feelings.

But given her personality, the fact that she took the initiative to contact him says a lot.

As a fan of the book, Dudu originally wanted to attend his first book signing event, but her filming was almost coming to an end and she couldn't leave.

Lin Li had no choice but to coax her and let her sign all the documents at once when they met next time, only then her tone on the phone became cheerful again.

During this period, celebration parties for the drama version of Three Lives, Three Worlds were in full swing, with a number of leading actors posting short essays on Weibo expressing their thoughts on the characters they played in the drama.

Thinking of his last interaction with Yang Mi on Weibo, Lin Li also reposted her character understanding essay, with the caption "Welcome to the most beautiful woman in the world, the goddess Bai Qian!"

Yang Mi also quickly replied: "Thank you Nanda for writing such an outstanding role. I wish Nanda's first book signing event will be a perfect one. By the way, I wanted to go, but unfortunately I am filming abroad and cannot come back. It's a pity."

Lin Li didn't expect Yang Mi to reply so much at once. After thinking for a while, he typed a response: "Thank you, Teacher Yang Mi. There will be a chance next time."

Yang Mi, who was far away in Korea, looked at the numerous replies on her phone and smiled. She said to herself in a baby voice: "See you next time? I'm really looking forward to it."

At this moment, she looked like a cunning little fox, with a sly and clever look in her eyes.

-

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the 25th and the signing event is about to begin.

Lin Li was pulled out of bed by Chen Chao early in the morning before he woke up, looking confused.

Chen Chao couldn't wait to throw all the clothes at Lin Li: "Don't you know what day it is today? As the general manager of Nanxun Culture, I have the obligation to keep an eye on you and make sure today's book signing is done well."

Lin Li yawned, his eyes half-closed. “No, the book signing event is in the afternoon. Why did you wake me up so early? I was busy with Wen Muye until about ten o’clock yesterday. I’m so sleepy now.”

Chen Chao shook Lin Li vigorously: "If you're not the big brother, you have to get dressed and change into decent clothes. You represent the face of our company. Do you want to go there wrapped in a down jacket?"

Lin Li frowned and stared at Chen Chao for a while: "Tell me quickly, are you possessed by some evil spirit? You are not the Chen Chao I know!"

Chen Chao also nodded seriously in agreement: "That's right, a thing called the Struggle Ghost has attached itself to me, and now I am extremely motivated!"

Lin Li pointed at Chen Chao and said, "Hey! I can tell at a glance that you are not human. Monster, show yourself quickly! Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

Chen Chao rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Lin Li, shouting: "I will show you my true form, die now!"

The two of them immediately started fighting, and the fight lasted for quite a while until Lin Li pressed him against the wall and called him daddy, and then they calmed down.

After packing up simply, the two left the dormitory and walked to the school gate.

Chen Chao took him straight to a white Toyota Alpha business car.

Next to the car door, a pretty girl, probably in her early twenties, wearing a black business suit was waiting for the two men with a smile on her face.

"Here, I bought this car in the name of the company a few days ago. We can't always take taxis when we travel in the future. This is the secretary I just hired. You can just call her Qiqi."

Chen Chao glanced at Lin Li and introduced him calmly.

At this time, Qiqi also stepped forward and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Lin, Hello, Mr. Chen."

Lin Li looked at the car, then at the girl named Qiqi, nodded, and did not expose the ulterior motives of Chen Chao in front of others.

I gave Chen Chao a look that said "wait for me" and got in the car and sat down. You know what, the back seat is quite spacious and comfortable, it's really nice.

The driver drove the three of them to a styling studio, which was said to be specialized in serving big-name celebrities in the entertainment industry.

The whole store is about 500 to 600 square meters and is decorated very luxuriously.

It was the first time for Lin Li to experience being surrounded by a group of people and posing for others. It was a bit novel at first, but after getting tired of it, he lost interest and just let them do whatever they wanted.

It took more than an hour just to do one styling, and Lin Li firmly refused to put on makeup, otherwise it would probably take even longer.

Then it took more than an hour to match the clothes and shoes, before the somewhat effeminate chief stylist beside him finally nodded and announced that it was done.

Lin Li, who was a little tired, was a little surprised when he looked at himself in the mirror. You know what, after all the trouble they had done, his overall image had indeed changed a lot.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. The ancients do not deceive me.

Rubbing his chin and staring at the somewhat unfamiliar self in the mirror, Lin Li suddenly thought a little cocky.

"I'm so damn handsome, who am I going to charm when I go out?"

In 13 days, I have exceeded 1,000 collections. I can't compare with the old authors, but as a newbie, I feel it's okay.
