Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 279 Visiting the set and taking action personally?
"I, I just heard some rumors and asked out of curiosity."

Wang Churan was frightened by Lin Li’s reaction and explained awkwardly.

"Churan, go get ready and wash up. I'll be waiting for you outside."

Lin Li did not answer her, but his expression relaxed and he instructed her gently.

"OK, all right."

Wang Churan responded obediently.

"Yeah, I'm just outside."

Lin Li raised his chin to her and smiled, motioned towards the door, then turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing Lin Li walk out of the room, Wang Churan's obedient expression disappeared and she just sat on the bed in a daze.

He really treated her differently.

At this time, Meng Ziyi also took her head out of the quilt. She first looked at Wang Churan, then looked in the direction of the door, and sighed softly.

Thinking about my hostility towards her yesterday, I suddenly felt that it was meaningless.

In fact, their positions are somewhat similar.

"Oh, you don't have to think too much. Xiaotian must think differently about him than you and I do."

"After all, they met a long time ago, so their relationship must be deeper."

The carefree Meng Ziyi forgot about the previous confrontation with Wang Churan and spoke out to comfort her.

"Ok, I know."

"But I will definitely do better than Oda."

"At least, I will never argue with him. I will listen to him no matter what he wants to do. I will do my best to help him accomplish whatever he wants to do!"

Wang Churan's face suddenly glowed with an unprecedented radiance, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm for Lin Li.

Her believer-like words made Meng Ziyi stunned on the spot. She looked at Wang Churan with horror, then looked outside the door, somewhat frightened by her condition.

She thought that her mouth was faster than her brain, but why did Wang Churan look like an extreme brainless fan?

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm so normal?

terrible!
-

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the crew was intimate.

Today's filming is mainly concentrated in the k&k team base, so at this point all the leading actors in the crew gathered in the base in twos and threes.

K&K is the result of Han Shangyan's 10 years of hard work, so the overall temperament of K&K is very "Han Shangyan". From the color of the team uniforms to the interior design and decoration of K&K, his "personal preferences" are revealed everywhere. Moreover, all the residents are boys, so they have "boyish" characteristics.

The costumes and props were something that Lin Li, Wei Shujun, Xu Fei and others had emphasized in many meetings before filming began. If an urban idol drama wants to achieve good results, the costumes and props must be carefully considered.

It can be said that all the money saved on film remuneration was invested in costumes and props.

Take the K&K training base for example. The main color is black, dotted with bright yellow. It has both the tough temperament of industrial style and the brightness of a big boy. The lofter space layout adds a sense of layering. There are slides, poles, aerial walkways, and various small toys and game consoles, all of which reflect the strong "childlikeness and playfulness".

This is where a group of big boys live and train. The club is like a real amusement park with a training ground in the middle. The circular design not only rationally plans the space but also ensures a wide field of vision. There are no barriers between the seats, and everyone can be seen at a glance. This makes it convenient for Han Shangyan to fully grasp everyone's training situation whether he is upstairs or downstairs, and it also facilitates barrier-free communication between team members.

There are big numbers on the room doors. Door No. 1 is Han Shangyan's room, and the other rooms are dormitories for 2-4 people.

The crew was very attentive and rigorous in setting up and designing the scenes, with details everywhere, which can show the characters' personalities in the most concrete way possible.

At this moment on the set, a scene was being filmed where Han Shangyan was giving a speech to the KK team members.

Lin Gengxin's tall figure is still very conspicuous standing in front of a group of male actors wearing KK team uniforms.

"Ziyi, why do I feel like you're even less energetic after a day's rest?"

Li Yitong looked at Meng Ziyi, who was yawning, with a curious look on her face and asked questions.

"Ah? Oh, I'm fine. I just stayed up too late playing with my phone yesterday and didn't get enough rest."

Meng Ziyi laughed awkwardly and made up a fairly reasonable excuse.

"Well, you still need to rest. You can even see the dark circles under your eyes."

Li Yitong did not doubt it much and said with concern with her crescent eyes.

"Okay, got it."

Meng Ziyi hugged Li Yitong's waist and acted coquettishly in her sweet voice.

"Oh, that's enough. We're on the set."

Li Yitong was amused by her reaction and patted her hands with a smile.

Not far away, Zhang Ruonan sat upright in a chair holding a script. He looked up at the two people playing around, smiled slightly and shook his head.

As for Meng Ziyi, I have a good personal impression of her. She is a girl who is very easy to get along with. You don't have to think about too many twists and turns when getting along with her. It's very simple.

Today, Zhang Ruonan wore a gray round-neck sweater with black trousers, and her long hair was scattered on both sides, giving people a very gentle feeling.

Of course, it is also gentle.

At this moment, Zhang Ruonan was holding the script and following the plot to be filmed in the afternoon. She was muttering to herself and reciting the lines over and over again.

Behind her, the stylist was combing her hair to ensure that she could perform in the most perfect image in the subsequent photoshoots.

She was watching so intently that she didn't even notice Lin Li walking up to her and standing there for a long time.

When he saw others preparing to greet him, Lin Li made a silencing gesture to everyone, and at the same time gave Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi a look, before lowering his head and looking at Zhang Ruonan in front of him.

“It’s really different!”

Even though he knew it clearly, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but mutter something.

Yes, it’s different!
Li Yitong felt emotional as she watched this scene.

Lin Li's behavior during the last Screaming Night had made her completely understand that nothing else mattered. As long as Lin Li was truly kind to her, there was no need to care so much and only add to her troubles.

Zhang Ruonan, who was reading a script, suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was it so quiet around her and the noise was much quieter?
She straightened up and looked around, and found that everyone was looking behind her, with some excited and some reserved. She thought of a possibility, and her eyes and eyebrows were immediately filled with smiles, and she turned her head to look behind her with great joy.

Sure enough, what caught my eye was a broad chest, and when I looked up, who else could it be but the smiling Lin Li!

Lin Li looked at her tenderly, with a gentle smile on his lips, and his tall figure stood behind her like a loyal bodyguard.

It’s just that this bodyguard’s appearance and temperament are somewhat exceptional.

"You work very hard, Ruonan."

There were so many people that no one called out nicknames, but Lin Li's intimate tone still moved many people.

"I'm afraid that I won't perform well and Director Lin won't hire me for a good project next time. What should I do?"

Zhang Ruonan put the script aside, stood up and said with a smile.

"That makes sense. You better keep performing well and don't let me see you slacking off."

"Okay, Director Lin."

The two looked at each other, unable to hide the smiles on their faces.

"Hello, Teacher Nanxun!"

"Hello, Director Lin!"

When the crew members and actors around saw the two finished chatting, they all came forward to say hello.

"Hello everyone, I'm here to see you on behalf of the company. Thank you for your hard work."

"I'll arrange for all the crew members to have a meal together tonight to liven things up."

Lin Li looked around and made arrangements for the evening with a wave of his hand.

Since they are members of the company's own team, it is natural for him to show his appreciation when he comes here.

"Director Lin is awesome!"

"Long live Teacher Nanxun!"

……

Everyone was naturally happy to eat, clapping and cheering, and offering flattering words one after another.

"Sister Yitong looks so cool and handsome in this outfit."

Lin Li looked at Li Yitong who was walking forward, looked her up and down and then made his evaluation.

Apple Dog, played by Li Yitong, has always been dressed more formally in the drama, just like today, she wore a white suit jacket with white trousers, looking very capable.

"Thank you, Director Lin, for the compliment."

Li Yitong smiled and was very pleased with Lin Li's praise.

"Ziyi, why do you look like you didn't get enough rest? You have such dark circles under your eyes."

Lin Li turned to Meng Ziyi beside her with a playful look.

"Heh...I didn't get enough rest yesterday."

Meng Ziyi's face shuddered, and he resisted the urge to curse and responded reluctantly.

You bastard! If it weren't for you, how could I have these dark circles under my eyes?

Lin Li found it very interesting to see Meng Ziyi's angry but unable to speak out. It seems that our Sister Meng also knows her limits.

"Boss Lin is coming. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

At this time, Wei Shujun also noticed Lin Li's arrival, and came over with Lin Gengxin to say hello.

"Hello, Teacher Nanxun. Nice to see you again. I didn't have the chance to chat with you at the last Starlight Awards."

Lin Gengxin grinned and greeted everyone warmly in his dialect.

"Come and take a look. After all, I'm still a temporary screenwriter, right?"

"Geng Xin, let's have a good drink tonight. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to compete with me in drinking capacity? Let's let go and give it a try today."

Lin Li first replied to Wei Shujun, then looked at Lin Gengxin and responded to his last invitation.

"That's great. Today I'm going to do my best to accompany Teacher Nanxun to drink a few sips. I've heard about your alcohol tolerance a long time ago."

Lin Gengxin looked excited and had no idea of ​​the seriousness of the matter.

"Okay, I'll satisfy you."

Lin Li's lips curled up unconsciously, his eyes full of excitement at the prospect of beating the weak one.

Come to think of it, he hasn't had a drink to his heart's content for a long time.

"Boss Lin, it's still early this afternoon, would you like to watch it with me in front of the monitor?"

Wei Shujun glanced at the time on his watch and asked Lin Li about his future plans.

"Let's take a look. It's a good opportunity to see how everyone is doing."

Lin Li glanced at the leading actors present, his eyes inquiring.

The faces of the group of leading actors brightened up. With Lin Li watching them, they would definitely put in their best efforts to perform. If they caught Lin Li's eye, who knows, they might get a role in his next movie!

After all, he is a new and rising director who ranks fourth in box office history!
All of the leading actors' states changed at once, and they all looked excited and ready to go.

"Director Lin, why don't you take the shot yourself? I saw you filming last time when I visited the set. This time I just happened to have the chance and I also want to feel what it feels like to be filmed by our great director, hehe~"

Meng Ziyi suddenly called out to stop Lin Li who was about to walk towards the monitor. The scene suddenly became quiet, and then a group of actors reacted and looked eagerly at Lin Li in front of them.

Yeah, why didn’t they think of it!

If Lin Li does this personally, then we can be considered to have worked with a great director, right?
