Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 318: Troubled Oda and Ruth's Attack

February 2th, Shanghai, My True Friend crew.

The filming of the crew has entered the final stage, and it is near the end of the year, so the crew plans to speed up the progress and wrap up before the 12th. After all the filming is finished, everyone can go home and have a good New Year.

The shooting went on till the afternoon and everything went very smoothly.

The crew members discovered that Tian Xiwei was in surprisingly good shape recently. She could get almost every shot through in one take with great efficiency. She was like a completely different person compared to before.

The most obvious feeling was the smile that was always on her lips, as if she had never put it down in recent days. She kept her big, Caroline eyes open and blinking all day long, which made Zhang Wanyi's originally silent heart stir.

"Cut! This one is passed, actors, take a break."

As the director's voice came through the intercom, Tian Xiwei, Deng Lun and Jing Boran expressed their gratitude to the surrounding staff, then left the camera together and went to the next room to rest, which was also a temporary lounge.

Today’s filming location is Tongxinyuan on Shaanxi North Road, which is the house of Grandpa Zhong, a supporting character in the play.

Shaanxi North Road is a very easy-to-walk street in Shanghai. It passes by the Nanjing West Road business district and has many old houses and former residences of celebrities.

"Well, it's finally almost over. I can go home for the New Year."

Curling herself into the recliner, Tian Xiwei stretched her limbs comfortably and sighed.

"Xiaotian, what are your plans after the filming is finished? Are you going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year?"

Deng Lun walked to the chair opposite Tian Xiwei and sat down, then asked with a smile.

His gaze paused briefly on the bulging curve in front of Tian Xiwei, then quickly moved away.

Today, Tian Xiwei combined a simple orange shirt with blue jeans. The outfit is very recognizable and eye-catching. With the blessing of the two, matched with a simple ponytail hairstyle, it is neat and clean, and very beautiful.

Deng Lun liked Tian Xiwei's appearance and figure very much, but he didn't dare to think too much about it.

He is not as stupid as Zhang Wanyi. He knows very well that some people should not be provoked, so he just looks at them with appreciation.

"Yes, Oda. After this is over, we still don't know when the next collaboration will be. Has the next work been decided?"

Jing Boran also leaned against the door and looked at Tian Xiwei and asked tentatively.

They all knew that Tian Xiwei seemed to have had some dispute with Lin Li after the Starlight Awards, but they also witnessed Lin Li visiting the crew to warn Zhang Wanyi, so they naturally knew that the two had a close relationship.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Tian Xiwei took the time out a few days ago to shoot a set of advertisements for JD VIP spokesperson in a temporary studio built by the JD team next to the set. This contains a lot of information.

Needless to say, the value of JD.com's VIP spokespersons is very high. Generally speaking, unless you are a top celebrity or have a lot of traffic, ordinary celebrity artists have no chance at all.

Although Tian Xiwei is quite popular, she is obviously still a little short of being the spokesperson for JD VIP.

But not only did she get the endorsement, JD.com was also very considerate and sent someone to build a studio directly next to the set to accommodate her schedule to complete the filming of the advertisement.

What kind of treatment is this? I'm afraid all the spokespeople before have never enjoyed it.
I heard that the guy from JD.com was also present at the cocktail party after the Starlight Awards, and he showed up with Lin Li. Considering their alumni relationship and the previous reports on Renmin University’s anniversary, it is not difficult to guess how Tian Xiwei got this endorsement.

How enviable!

Jing Boran sighed inwardly.

"Nothing, just go home for the New Year and then go back to school to study hard."

"I haven't decided on my next play yet, and I haven't seen any suitable scripts. I plan to go back to school after the New Year to study and then look around."

Tian Xiwei fiddled with her bangs in front of her eyes and answered nonchalantly.

She naturally knew what the two wanted to ask, but she herself had not yet resolved her grudge with Lin Li, so how could she know about their company's next work?

She was a little distressed. Although she had figured things out, she couldn't make up her mind to swallow her pride and go back to find Lin Li.

She was also thinking, how can she let Lin Li know naturally that she has forgiven him?

"Ahem... Xiaotian, didn't Mr. Nanxun tell you what new projects his company will have next?"

Deng Lun coughed lightly, and seeing that there was no one else in the room, he asked directly.

After all, they are colleagues in the same company and have collaborated on two dramas, so they are quite familiar with each other.

"I don't know about that either. I'm not an actor in Teacher Nanxun's company. You and I are in the same company."

Tian Xiwei straightened up and looked at Deng Lun, blinking her bright eyes, as if to say, "I don't understand what you are saying at all."

"Well... that's true, but Glory is really popular recently!"

Deng Lun twitched his mouth speechlessly upon seeing this, then sighed meaningfully.

"Yes, the popularity of Glory has directly promoted Zhu Yilong, an actor who is not even a third-tier actor, to a first-tier position."

"Not to mention Reba, she was already a top star, and she became even more popular after the broadcast of Glory. I heard that many high-end luxury brands are actively contacting her recently, which is incredible!"

Jing Boran also sighed. As an actor, he was very envious of Zhu Yilong's rapid rise to fame.

"Everyone has known for a long time that Glory will be popular. What is there to be envious of? After all, it is an adaptation of Nanxun's work and produced by Nanxun Culture itself."

Tian Xiwei looked as if it was a matter of course. Although she was a little envious of the current Reba in her heart, she was more proud of it.

After all, it is Lin Li’s work and a project of Nanxun Culture.

"That's right. No one ever doubted that Glory would be popular. They just didn't expect it to be this popular."

"And it has the endorsement of the aerospace industry, which is really impressive!"

Deng Lun first praised her with a few words, then changed the subject and looked at Tian Xiwei.

"Teacher Nanxun said that if the number of views of Glory reaches 100 billion, he will personally star in one of his own works. As for the female lead..."

Deng Lun drew out the last syllable of his words, with a probing look in his eyes.

Jing Boran also became curious and stared at Tian Xiwei in front of him.

"Look at what I'm doing. I don't know anything."

Tian Xiwei placed her hands on the recliner, tightly grasping the edge of the chair, and tried to keep her voice calm.

She naturally cared about this matter very much, but judging from her and his current situation, if Lin Li really directed and acted in the film himself, she would most likely not be the female lead.

Maybe it’s Chen Duling, or maybe it’s Zhang Ruonan?

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. She glanced at Deng Lun and Jing Boran and wanted to get up and go out for some fresh air. Deng Lun was a little embarrassed by Tian Xiwei's answer. He looked at Jing Boran and prepared to leave.

"Sister, someone is coming to visit us outside."

At this time, Tian Xiwei's female assistant suddenly walked to the door and notified.

"Who?"

Tian Xiwei was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up and she asked anxiously.

Deng Lun and Jing Boran exchanged glances. It couldn't be such a coincidence. Speak of the devil and he will appear?
The assistant's expression was a little strange. She glanced at Deng Lun and the other man, then looked at Tian Xiwei.

"It's Teacher Zhao Ruth."

Tian Xiwei's big watery eyes narrowed immediately, and the corners of her grinning mouth quickly pursed.

What is she doing here to visit me?
Deng Lun and the other man took in Tian Xiwei's expression, and suddenly felt like there was something to be gained.

This Zhao Lusi was also promoted by Teacher Nan Xun, right? Then why did she come to find Xiaotian?

Wow, there’s something interesting to watch!
Deng Lun and Jing Boran's eyes were burning with gossip and they looked excited.

"Let's go and have a look."

Tian Xiwei glanced at the expressions of Deng Lun and the other man, stood up and led the way out. Seeing this, Deng Lun and the other man hurriedly followed.

Tian Xiwei walked a few steps to the spacious living room, looked up, and saw Zhao Lusi chatting with their director with a smile on her face. Not far away, the coffee she must have brought was being distributed by the staff.

"Hey, Xiaotian, long time no see."

Zhao Lusi glanced at Tian Xiwei who appeared in the living room, and enthusiastically raised her hand and waved it gently to greet her. Her sweet face was filled with a bright smile that was very contagious.

She greeted him in a very familiar manner, and many people who didn't know him at the scene thought that they were very close.

Seeing this, Tian Xiwei twitched the corners of her lips and also raised a sweet smile to greet him.

She wanted to see what Zhao Lusi was up to!

"Ruth, why did you suddenly come here today without telling me in advance? It's such a surprise!"

Tian Xiwei walked forward and hugged Zhao Lusi, asking in an intimate manner.

"I thought you were still working so hard on the shoot even though it's almost New Year, so I flew all the way from Star City to come and see you."

Zhao Lusi stared at Tian Xiwei in front of her, her eyes full of smiles and the corners of her lips curved like a crescent moon.

She had never been so confident in front of Tian Xiwei before. The psychological advantage made her extremely confident now!
"You are so thoughtful. I will treat you well tonight."

Tian Xiwei smiled sweetly, her big eyes twinkling, and she looked in a happy mood.

But she was wondering in her heart, she said she came from Xingcheng, and Lin Li was also in Xingcheng yesterday, could it be...

"Xiaotian, won't you introduce yourself to us?"

At this time, Deng Lun on the side interrupted and stared at Zhao Lusi in front of him with interest.

Today, Zhao Lusi wore a white sweater, paired with gray knitted trousers. She tied her long hair together behind her head with a fishtail clip and wore a pair of black-framed glasses. Her eyes were almost narrowed into slits due to smiling when she spoke, and she looked soft and cute.

For the first time, Deng Lun discovered that this girl named Zhao Lusi was so beautiful and had a very sweet smile.

Another sweet girl!

He didn't dare to touch Tian Xiwei, but this Zhao Lusi seemed pretty good too!

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Deng Lun, the leading actor of our show."

"I believe you also know this guy, Mr. Jing Boran, who is also the second male lead in our drama."

Tian Xiwei glanced at Deng Lun and raised her hand to introduce him to Zhao Lusi.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Ruth, also an actress, nice to meet you."

Zhao Lusi smiled at the two of them and greeted them warmly.

"Hello Ruth."

"Hello."

The two boys were infected by her smile and responded with a grin.

"Well, I want to talk to Xiaotian about some private things between girls. Is it convenient for you?"

Zhao Lusi's eyes had curved into crescent shapes as she asked playfully.

"Of course, of course."

The two of them responded yes.

"Then let's go, Oda."

Zhao Lusi turned her gaze to Tian Xiwei and tilted her head to look at her.

"Come over here."

Tian Xiwei had no objection, she also wanted to see what Zhao Lusi was up to.

So, under the gaze of Deng Lun and others, the two of them walked into the lounge where they had just been, one after the other.

"Hey, Lunzi, this Zhao Ruth is so cute!"

Looking at Zhao Lusi's curvy back, Jing Boran leaned close to Deng Lun's ear and whispered.

"Of course, Brother Xiaojing, but since you already have Sister Nini, don't think too much about it. I am a little interested in this Zhao Ruth."

Deng Lun stroked his chin and stared at Zhao Lusi's back.

"Then I wish you success."

Jing Boran smiled and didn't take it seriously.

After all, Nini is really good!
