Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 327: Dudu's warning, new year, new atmosphere

"dong dong"

A gentle knock on the door woke Tian Xiwei up. She calmed herself down and shouted "Come in" to the door.

Then the door opened and a waitress came in with a tray. She looked at Tian Xiwei curiously, then glanced at Chen Duling who was sitting upright in her seat.

"Hi, your coffee is ready."

The waiter said respectfully, glancing between the two of them from time to time.

She didn't expect that these two actresses would appear here in the same frame. Apart from having both been the leading ladies in Nanjing University, she had never heard of any connection between the two.

"OK, thanks."

Tian Xiwei forced a smile and responded politely.

"It's my pleasure. Please enjoy it."

After placing the coffee in front of Chen Duling and receiving her smile and nod, the waitress happily left the private room and closed the door gently.

"What a great temperament, I'm a fan!"

After closing the door, the waitress turned around and talked to herself with a smile on her face.

Chen Duling probably never thought that she could easily gain a fan with just a smile.

Inside the room.

Chen Duling picked up the coffee and took a sip, then looked out the window at the blue sea and sky in the distance, and her mood relaxed a lot.

When Tian Xiwei asked her out yesterday, she was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she could probably guess some of her intentions.

She was actually a little annoyed. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Li was still filming, she really wanted to go over and lose her temper with him.

It's good enough that I can turn a blind eye to your romantic affairs outside. Now you need me to clean up your emotional problems that you haven't dealt with yet. It really makes her feel itchy!

And she also saw the hot searches in the morning. If nothing unexpected happens, at least one of these two girls is related to him.

It's really not quiet at all!
"Heh... that's right. Coming here to see you is just a lie to myself."

"After all, I just want to find a way out for myself."

"Tell yourself, if you can accept that he has other women, why can't I? In fact, you have already accepted this."

After a moment's silence, Tian Xiwei suddenly laughed at herself, with a hint of loneliness in her voice.

"There's no need to feel sorry for yourself here. Let's not talk about why you came to me today to say these things, but since you're here, I might as well say a few more words."

Chen Duling withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Tian Xiwei opposite her. Her voice was calm but contained a hint of oppression.

"You say it and I listen."

Tian Xiwei didn't like Chen Duling's gaze very much. She had a vague feeling that she couldn't bear to look him in the face.

"I don't know what you talked to him about after the cocktail party. Maybe you were emotional, but you shouldn't have argued with him in that situation. You have to understand that the reason you were there was because he treated you as a lovely heroine."

"You know his character well. He can tolerate you most of the time. Otherwise, based on your behavior, if it were someone else with the same status as him, do you think you would still have a chance to stay in this circle?"

"He can be generous, but you shouldn't take advantage of his favor and become arrogant."

"If you are really ready to leave him, it's fine to stick to your principles, but I saw that you took on the endorsement of JD.com some time ago, so I guess you are ready to accept his emotional problems."

"I wish you wouldn't be so naive."

"Not everyone is as lucky as you. You met him in school, starred in a work that went viral, and became famous overnight."

"You know even if I don't tell you something. In this circle, under normal circumstances, it takes a lot of money to get to where you are."

"He really has nothing to do with the word loyal, but at least he won't play with anyone's feelings. Everyone who has a relationship with him has gained some tangible benefits. He is romantic but not vulgar. You won't deny that, right?"

"Let me roughly guess your mentality. You originally thought you could have him all to yourself, but later you found out that he had other women besides you. You were very angry, so what happened at the cocktail party."

"But later on, when you calm down and think about it, after being with him, it seems that all the boys you know are so mediocre compared to him."

"The more dazzling he is, the more you will compare him with the people around him."

"Everyone knows what people in this circle are like. Any male star with a little fame, any director with some ability, or any investor, all of them have a rich love history or a decadent private life."

"In comparison, he is a breath of fresh air in the circle."

"I believe you have feelings for him, perhaps very deep ones, but if he didn't have such a high status and such a dazzling halo, you wouldn't have gone against your principles and been willing to accept that he had another woman."

"Since there are realistic factors and we have enjoyed the benefits it has brought, we cannot have more than one thing."

Chen Duling's voice was clear and echoed in the private room at a steady pace.

After finishing a long string of words in one breath, Chen Duling felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Tian Xiwei's expression kept changing as Chen Duling's words unfolded. When Chen Duling finished her last sentence, her face had turned ashen.

Chen Duling put down the cup in his hand, glanced at her, smiled faintly and said nothing, then his gaze turned to the sea view outside the window again.

"You're right, my feelings aren't that pure either."

"Been taught a lesson."

After another long silence, Tian Xiwei's expression slowly calmed down and she spoke in a deep voice.

"It's my personal opinion, I'll listen to it if I can."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave. Today is New Year's Eve, and I have to go back home to help."

"By the way, Happy New Year."

Chen Duling curved her beautiful eyes, smiled at her, and stood up to leave. "Are you asking for trouble? Why are you helping him to comfort me?"

Tian Xiwei looked straight at Chen Duling and pursed her lips tightly.

"It's not an exhortation, it's just that you found me today and I just wanted to say a few more words."

"Besides, I am more afraid that his mood will be affected because of you."

"We have always received his help in our careers, but we are unable to help him. The only thing we can do is to distract him less and not cause him trouble on weekdays."

Chen Duling stood up, with a faint and distant smile on her lips, and just stood there looking at her.

"I understand."

"I now understand a little bit why he treats you differently from others."

"Thank you."

Tian Xiwei looked at the calm and composed Chen Duling in front of her, feeling a little bitter in her heart, realizing that she was indeed inferior to her in many ways.

"It's okay. Bye, Oda."

Chen Duling nodded at her, then turned and walked away. As the door closed gently, Tian Xiwei was the only one left in the private room.

After watching Chen Duling leave, Tian Xiwei sat in front of the window in a daze for a long time, then she took a deep breath and shrugged her shoulders.

She knew she had lost, and lost completely.

mountain city.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Li arranged for the entire crew to finish work and return to the hotel together. He had asked Shang Wei to book the hotel banquet hall in advance. Tonight, he would have a New Year's Eve dinner with the entire crew, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and spend the 2018 New Year's Eve together.

"Happy New Year, Director Lin!"

"Happy New Year Director Lin!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, when Lin Li arrived at the hotel banquet hall, almost all the members of the crew had arrived. When they saw Lin Li, they all stood up and greeted him.

"Everyone please take a seat. Don't be shy on a day like today. I am very happy to be able to spend this New Year with you all. I am very happy to have so many people here to have fun together. Without further ado, let's eat and drink to our heart's content!"

"Happy New Year!"

"I'll give everyone red envelopes later!"

Lin Li bowed and looked around with a hearty smile on his face.

Today he specially changed into a red down jacket, which was given to him by Ye Zi, saying it was a new look for the new year.

Although he was not very used to such bright colors, since it was the New Year, he didn't care too much.

"Director Lin is awesome!"

"Director Lin is so handsome!"

"Just wait for the huge red envelopes!"

When they heard that there were red envelopes, everyone's eyes lit up and they cheered happily.

Zhou Ye was sitting at a table with Zhang Zifeng, and at the moment he was staring at Lin Li in the audience, his clear eyes filled with smiles.

This year is the first time she spends the New Year away from her parents, and also the first time she spends the New Year with Lin Li.

It was a new experience for her, and she felt like she was "married far away".

However, after seeing the eye-catching red down jacket Lin Li was wearing, her heart was filled with happiness.

She felt that it would be perfect if she could spend every New Year with Lin Li.

After finishing his speech, Lin Li walked towards the seat that Shang Wei had reserved for him in advance. Along the way, he would nod and smile in response to every greeting.

When his eyes met Zhou Ye, Lin Li's eyes lit up with a smile and he winked at her.

Zhou Ye was startled for a moment, then a big smile blossomed on her fair little face. Two dimples, one deep and one shallow, were clearly visible, and the arc of the corners of her mouth seemed to reach the sky.

Today she wore a new Chinese style red cotton coat, a red long skirt and her long hair draped over her shoulders. She looked like a cheerful porcelain doll, so cute.

Lin Li couldn't help but be infected by her smile and grinned, his brows relaxed, and his steps seemed to be much lighter.

After arriving at his seat and exchanging pleasantries with the core members of the crew at the table, Lin Li poured himself a glass of white wine.

The two-liang cup was filled to the brim.

He just stood up from his seat, and when everyone in the banquet hall saw him stand up, they stopped talking and looked at him.

Lin Li looked around with a smile, then held up a glass of wine and began his opening remarks.

"It has been nearly a month since we started filming. I have seen everyone's performance and we are progressing very fast. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to wrap up in about a week."

"Thank you all for your efforts. I don't want to say too many nice things. Today is New Year's Eve. I wish everyone a happy new year. Also, I wish our Young You a big hit at the box office!"

After finishing his brief speech, Lin Li raised his head and drank the liquor in his hand in one gulp.

"Happy New Year! Box office hit!"

Everyone in the audience raised their glasses at the same time and cheered loudly.

The New Year's Eve of 2018 began with such cheers, and everyone was looking forward to a new beginning in the new year.

Looking forward to their efforts bearing fruit.
