Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 274 Christmas Visit
"You accepted my flowers and still complained about me. It's really hard for me."

Lin Li looked helpless, with a look of grievance in his eyes above the mask.

"Tsk, stop pretending, the big director is showing off his acting skills."

Chen Duling didn't take his reaction seriously at all, and walked forward briskly with the flowers in her arms.

"Hey, Dudu, wait for me."

Lin Li quickly followed, hugged Chen Duling in his arms and continued walking forward.

"Hate it, there are so many people."

"What's the big deal? Isn't that what everyone does?"

"That's true, but you're strangling me too tightly."

"Oh, sorry."

"Fool, I punish you by making you carry me on your back."

"Well...how about we just forget it?"

"What do you mean? Do you dislike my weight?"

"How is that possible? We are as light as wild geese."

"Why don't you hurry up then?"

"okay."

Lin Li walked up to Chen Duling and bent down with his back to her.

Chen Duling smiled triumphantly, put one arm around Lin Li's neck and held the flowers in the other.

"Let's go."

Lin Li pulled Chen Duling upwards with his hands and stood up.

"So this is the air up there? It feels really good."

Chen Duling swayed her body gently, her voice full of joy.

"Right? After all, it's Lin's exclusive product. It's a VIP-level experience. Are you satisfied with it, beautiful Dudu?"

Lin Li walked steadily, speaking in a leisurely tone.

"Well, very good. I am very satisfied."

Chen Duling also started to follow suit.

"Then I wonder if there are any rewards?"

"What reward do you want."

"Well... like the pose I failed to try last time."

"You are going to die! On the street!"

Chen Duling quickly covered Lin Li's mouth with her hands and looked around in panic.

"Hmm... gibberish..."

Lin Li shook his head and motioned for her to let go.

"Don't worry, no one can hear it. How about Dudu, can I get the reward I want?"

After Chen Duling let go, Lin Li continued to ask for it.

"I, let me think about it."

Chen Duling's cheeks began to feel hot under the mask, and a banned scene suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Okay, let's speed up! I think it's quite lively ahead, let's go over and take a look."

Lin Li knew that this had already been agreed to, so he accelerated excitedly and rushed forward quickly.

"Ouch, slow down!"

Chen Duling screamed and immediately hugged Lin Li's neck tightly.

Just thinking about what she had promised Lin Li, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

Although he was quite familiar with that kind of thing, Lin Li could always come up with some new tricks to torment her.

For example, she refused to be lifted up by him last time because she was shy...

Bah! Bad guy!

December 12th, Christmas.

During this joyous festival that Chinese people attach more importance to than foreigners, the entertainment industry was also busy. Nazha Studio released a statement on Weibo at 14:30 in the afternoon, confirming that Nazha and Zhang Han had broken up peacefully.

December 2014, 12 was the day when the two officially confirmed their relationship, and today happens to be their third anniversary.

The official reason given for the breakup was that the two were under "too much pressure from the outside world" and "spent more time together than together". The breakup took place in mid-October this year.

As the news of the breakup came out, it quickly topped the Weibo hot search list.

In addition to the crowds of onlookers, gossip geese all over the Internet also surfaced and transformed themselves into "Detective Conan", sorting out all clues on the timeline of the entire incident from all angles.

First of all, the “grave digging post” will definitely jump out and slap you in the face first.

As early as the beginning of October, some netizens discovered that the intimacy between Nazha and Zhang Han had decreased a lot.

As per past practice, Nazha would send her blessings to Zhang Han on his birthday and @ him.

As a result, on October 10 this year, Nazha did not make any statement, and her updates remained on the Weibo post on the 6th promoting her new film Sewing Machine Band.

In addition, during the promotion period of Zhang Han's movie Wolf Warrior 2 this summer, Nazha did not respond at all.

Logically speaking, both of them have new works, and as lovers they should encourage each other and promote them hard, but in the end, there was no splash.

So some netizens boldly speculated that the two had broken up and offered 100 spicy strips as a bet.

Afterwards, the timeline came to the incident of "Zhang Han angrily criticized Nazha fans".

The incident started when a fan of Nazha @Zhang Han on Weibo, saying that he was trying to take advantage of his idol's popularity.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Han suddenly got angry and had a fierce argument with the fan under his Weibo post.

Zhang Han's attitude of helping his girlfriend "train fans" was quite hostile, and many fans took it as "solid evidence" to fight back against the breakup rumors.

If this matter is still ambiguous, then the video of the two "driving home" in November can at least be regarded as evidence that they are still together.

In the video, the two got out of the car talking and laughing, Nazha led the way, and Zhang Han followed behind with a box of things, and they entered the hotel building together.

After careful analysis, it was found that the timeline of the two people conflicted with the breakup time in the official statement.

Therefore, the comment section was extremely lively, with everyone jumping around like crazy and analyzing the truth of the incident. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

"Good boy, it seems that Naza has returned to her ex!"

Putting down his phone, Lin Li sighed. At this moment, he was on his way to the crew of My True Friend. After seeing the hot search, he couldn't help but click in to eat some melons.

After all, there was someone among them who had fought together.

This time he only brought Wang Bao with him. Gao Wen was recently working with Xu Fei on the launch of the drama You Are My Glory, and they were so busy that they didn't ask her to come along.

"Boss Lin, we are almost there."

Wang Bao’s reminder came from the front row.

"Ah."

Hearing the voice, Lin Li restrained his expression and looked out the window.

Oda, here I come.

The Seaside Building is a historical protected building near the Bund and is very famous in Shanghai.

In the previous movie, He Yichen’s home was also filmed downstairs here.

There is a less popular but very worthwhile Shanghai Postal Museum nearby, which many Shanghai locals may not know about.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei was acting with Jing Boran downstairs here, surrounded by onlookers and actors waiting in line.

Because she plays the role of a real estate salesperson, Tian Xiwei today is wearing a grey suit and trousers, which looks quite thin in the cold December wind.

As for Jing Boran, it was really a coincidence that he could star in this drama.

His character Jing Ran was actually played by Zhu Yilong in his previous life. Now, because Zhu Yilong starred in Glory, the crew found him to play this role.

Because the actor who plays Jing Ran needs to have a gentle and elegant temperament, director Zhang Siling is more receptive to him.

"Lunzi, what do you say about me confessing my feelings to Xiaotian today? It happens to be Christmas, so I plan to book a western restaurant and get her today!"

On the periphery, Zhang Wanyi stared at Tian Xiwei on the set with burning eyes, and discussed with Deng Lun beside him.

"No, didn't I tell you not to hit on her? Why didn't you listen? She's not someone you can mess with. Give up on this idea."

Deng Lun looked at Zhang Wanyi beside him helplessly and warned him again.

"I know what you're worried about, but didn't Xiaotian break up with that girl at the last Starlight Awards party? Regardless of whether they were friends or lovers before, I can pursue her now, right?"

Zhang Wanyi stared at Tian Xiwei in the field without blinking, and argued with Deng Lun without even turning his head.

"Let's not talk about how they actually are. Do you think that after she has seen someone like Teacher Nanxun, she will still be interested in little actors like you and me?"

Deng Lun was making his final effort, and he could sense that Zhang Wanyi was a little too excited.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Zhang Wanyi finally turned around, his eyes filled with determination.

"Well, it's up to you. You'd better be mentally prepared."

Deng Lun patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked away without saying anything more.

He had had some thoughts when he first met Tian Xiwei, but after being warned by Gong Yuhan, he gave up the idea.

Later, Lin Li went to visit the crew, and the director's attitude and Lin Li's own image and temperament made him completely lose all idea.

What's more, he had just experienced the unprecedented honor Penguin gave to Lin Li at the Starlight Awards, as well as the intimate attitude of Sun Zhonghuai and other Penguin executives towards Lin Li. Only a fool would mess with a woman related to him.

Let’s not talk about whether Tian Xiwei and Lin Li really broke up. Even if there is a problem between the two of them, aren’t you afraid that he will remember you if you go to provoke him at this time?
Run away quickly, to avoid getting into trouble.

Seeing Deng Lun walking away, Zhang Wanyi once again turned his gaze to Tian Xiwei in the field.

Seeing her sweet face and tall figure, he felt jealous.

From the first day he met Tian Xiwei, he fell in love with her. Even though he knew that her relationship with teacher Nan Xun was unclear, he never thought of giving up.

After all, who in the entertainment industry hasn’t had a few love affairs, right?

"Card!"

"This segment is great. Let's take a break. We'll continue in ten minutes."

Following the order from director Zhang Siling on the intercom, Tian Xiwei's expression relaxed. After greeting Jing Boran in front of her, she began to walk towards the temporary lounge at the side of the set.

"Come on, Xiaotian, put on your down jacket, don't catch a cold."

Hou Mingqi walked over quickly, took the down jacket from the assistant's hand and put it on Tian Xiwei.

"Well, thank you."

Tian Xiwei responded and continued walking towards the lounge with her neck twisted.

"Xiaotian, it's too cold. I just bought some hot coffee to warm you up."

Zhang Wanyi walked forward and blocked Tian Xiwei's way, holding up the coffee bag in his hand and motioning to her.

"Thank you, but my stomach has been feeling unwell these past two days, so I won't need coffee."

Tian Xiwei glanced at him, expressed her gratitude in a flat tone, and continued walking forward.

"Hey, Oda, I want to tell you something."

Zhang Wanyi flashed in front of Tian Xiwei again and blocked her way.

"Go ahead."

Tian Xiwei suppressed her anger and maintained a calm voice.

"Well, today is Christmas, so I want to treat you to dinner tonight, what do you think..."

"Teacher Nanxun is here to visit the class!"

"Go and see, Teacher Nanxun is here."

"Is this true? I'll go check it out too."

Zhang Wanyi's words were stuck in his throat and drowned out by the noisy shouting.

Tian Xiwei didn't even look at him. After hearing the shouts, she immediately turned her head to look in the direction of the crowd, her eyes bright.

The crowd gradually parted, and a tall, straight figure wearing a black short down jacket and black trousers came over, talking and laughing, accompanied by director Zhang Siling, Deng Lun and other leading actors. He did not stop until he was two or three meters away from her.

He stood there like a shining star, attracting everyone's attention.

The director, who had always been critical of her, was chatting with him enthusiastically, and the actors in the crew were also staring at him respectfully and eagerly.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze towards her, a familiar smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and his voice was as gentle as ever.

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

Tian Xiwei clenched her hands in her pockets, trying her best to control her emotions and remain calm.

At this moment, Zhang Wanyi was frozen to the side, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned pale.
