Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 340 Gong Yu's Beauty Trap
At 2pm on February 28th, Huaxia Meeting.

It is only a stone's throw away from Xidan, but it retains a rare quietness that is rarely seen in the bustling city. While trying its best to preserve the old appearance of the buildings, the blue bricks, black tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and heavy red doors separate outsiders from its interior, making the courtyard appear deeper, creating a quiet place in the hustle and bustle, adding a bit of mystery to it.

At night, the place is brightly lit, and people in and out are dressed in extraordinary clothes. The sound of orchestral music can be heard from time to time, just like the line in a Song Dynasty poem: "The moon dances low in the heart of the willow-shaped building, and the wind blows under the peach blossom fan."

This is where the famous Hua Xia Club in Beijing is located.

The capital city is a place full of stories. The buildings here last longer than people, and the scenery is the only thing that remains unchanged.

For those who can really afford to visit, the name is not important. What is important is the social interaction at this moment. "Everything in the Huaxia Club is antique, only the people are new," said the members here.

There are many gossips about the Hua Xia Club in Beijing, such as the location of the seats inside, how many halls there are, which halls are for members to rest and which are for members to taste cigars, and even which room Zhang Guorong once lived in, and which big stars came to dine and drink with him. All of them are told vividly.

As one of the most famous clubs in Beijing, Huaxia Club is not in the same league as the "nightclub" imagined by the public. It is more like a place for people at the top of the pyramid to relax and gather. It is not for entertainment, but simply reflects a strict hierarchy.

The Hua Xia Club has a total area of ​​10,000 square meters. It is an ancient quadrangle-style building with four large and multiple small courtyards. It is a group of magnificent wing rooms that are interconnected, a typical example of the Qing Dynasty.

At the entrance is a three-story building built in recent years.

At this moment, in a courtyard of nearly 300 square meters, Bai Lu and Cheng Xiao were sitting opposite each other at a stone table, looking at each other awkwardly but politely.

Around them, guests gathered in groups of three or four, chatting animatedly. The men were all in neat suits, while the ladies were in a variety of dazzling evening gowns, discussing all sorts of topics.

But the occasional number or two they blurted out would make the two girls sitting at the table secretly smack their lips.

Most of the people in the courtyard are Kiwi executives, and some are their partners and some senior executives of film and television companies in the circle.

Some of the industry leaders that are familiar to Bai Lu and his partner include Wang Zhonglei from Huayi, Wang Changtian from Guangguang, and Yu Dong from Bona Film Group.

"With so many big guys here, why did they call two of us over here?"

Cheng Xiao pursed his lips nervously and spoke hesitantly.

Today, Cheng Xiao wore a nude one-shoulder dress with a long hem that dragged on the ground. The fabric was extremely smooth silk, which showed off her charming curves. Her long golden hair was draped over her head, which was also shining and extremely eye-catching.

"Were you called back from Korea? I was almost there too. My drama was about to wrap up, but the company suddenly notified me to come back to attend this party. I don't know what's going on."

Bai Lu looked at Cheng Xiao and said with some concern.

The two have been in contact since the last cocktail party, and they got together several times during Cheng Xiao's time in Korea when she was recording Idol Producer.

Today, Bai Lu wore a black square-necked halter dress, revealing her fair and delicate collarbone. The hem of her skirt was embellished with tiny diamond ornaments and her makeup was delicate, which gave her a sense of elegance.

"I heard that this club is very famous. Many celebrities have had drinks here before. We won't be here today..."

Cheng Xiao frowned and guessed with a worried look on his face.

Her boss only told her to come to the party and didn't explain anything else. But as soon as she stepped in here today, she realized something was wrong. She checked on her phone and suddenly she felt a blackout.

How could a little star like her be qualified to attend a party held in such a place? Apart from being a drinking companion, she couldn't think of any other possibility.

However, the drinking party she imagined has not happened so far, which makes her feel relieved. However, she still feels a little strange.

"Why do I feel like this scene is familiar?"

Bai Lu sensed something was wrong, and then glanced around the scene, seeing that there were no other female stars except the two of them, and suddenly she had a guess in her mind.

Thinking of the possibility of this guess, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Ms. Bai, and Ms. Cheng, long time no see."

Before Cheng Xiao could answer her, Gong Yu, dressed in a black suit, came up to them and greeted them with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Gong."

Bai Lu and the other man quickly stood up and greeted them.

"You're welcome, both of you. I specially invited you this time because I want to ask for your help."

Gong Yu waved his hand in a casual manner.

"How can we help Mr. Gong?"

Seeing that Gong Yu's attitude didn't seem like he was going to force them to do anything, Cheng Xiao asked curiously.

Seeing Cheng Xiao asking the question, Bai Lu secretly grabbed the hem of her skirt, waiting for Gong Yu's answer.

"Oh... it's nothing. I specially invited Mr. Lin from Nanxun Culture to the party today. I thought that you two know Mr. Lin, so I wanted to ask you two to accompany him more after he arrives and fulfill my hospitality as a host."

Gong Yu chuckled, looked at the two young actresses in front of him and told them the purpose of his visit.

"We are not particularly familiar with Teacher Nanxun, this..."

"It's okay. We have dealt with each other before. I believe you two should be fine."

A hint of coldness flashed in Gong Yu's eyes, and he interrupted Cheng Xiao directly.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Gong, we can do it, don't worry."

Bai Lu took a step forward and said with a smile.

At the same time, he gave Cheng Xiao a wink, and Cheng Xiao reacted instantly and quickly said that it was no problem.

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, if you mention the devil, here he comes. Look, both of you."

Gong Yu nodded with satisfaction at first, then he caught sight of an eye-catching figure from the corner of his eye, and raised his chin to signal Bai Lu and the other man.

Bai Lu and the other person looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a waiter leading a straight figure slowly into the courtyard entrance.

The man in their eyes had a distinct facial contour, and he was wearing a slim-fitting white shirt with black trousers and a dark brown coat, which made him look elegant. He had short, black and shiny hair that barely covered his eyebrows, and beneath it were a pair of deep eyes. There was a faint smile at the corners of his lips, and he seemed to have the gentle elegance of spring in March.

"It's Teacher Nanxun!"

"It's Mr. Lin from Nanxun Culture."

"Today I finally get to see the real person. He looks so young!"

"I've read his books, but I didn't expect the real person to be so young."

Lin Li's appearance was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, causing huge splashes.

All eyes in the audience were focused on him, but he seemed unaware of it and strolled leisurely towards Gong Yu who was walking towards him quickly.

"Boss Lin, long time no see!"

Before I even got close, Gong Yu started to greet me warmly.

"It's not bad, it's been less than two months, and Mr. Gong looks pretty good. Is there any good news?"

Lin Li grasped the hand that Gong Yu extended to him and said with a smile.

“Of course, this is not because I think our Nanxun’s wind dog will be online in our Kiwi, so I am naturally happy!”

“Long awaited!”

Gong Yu shook Lin Li's hand vigorously, with an expression of joy that was hard to conceal.

"The film of Wind Dog will be available in the middle of this month. When that happens, Mr. Gong is welcome to visit our Nanxun Culture to watch it."

Lin Li separated his tightly clasped hands from Gong Yu's and extended an invitation.

"No problem, I'll wait and see."

"I have also instructed my subordinates that when Fengquan goes online, we will use the best promotional space on the entire website and the greatest publicity efforts, and do our best to make Fengquan popular."

Gong Yu told Lin Li about his arrangements in a serious manner.

"Thank you Mr. Gong for your support. I believe that Fengquan's quality will not disappoint Mr. Gong."

Lin Li kept smiling and spoke confidently.

"I never doubted that, haha!"

Gong Yu's look of "I absolutely trust you" made Lin Li feel comfortable. Although he knew it was just polite talk, Gong Yu did put on a show.

"Boss Lin, long time no see. I've been waiting for the release of Youth so I can eat meat and drink soup with you!"

Wang Changtian walked up with a smile and extended his right hand to Lin Li.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. This young man will never let you down."

Lin Li smiled and shook Wang Changtian's hand familiarly.

"Don't forget to let me take a look at the finished film as soon as it comes out. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely notify you first."

"Okay, okay, let's wait and see."

"By the way, I originally wanted to bring Ruonan with me, but Ruonan is now working as a laborer for your Nanxun Culture. I thought that Mr. Lin should have more contact with her, so I didn't say anything."

"We have to thank President Wang for discovering such an excellent actress like Ruonan. Otherwise, where would we find such a suitable heroine for our intimate moments?"

"Haha, it's Ruonan's honor to meet Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Wang praised it."

"No exaggeration."

"Ha ha"

After a round of greetings that both parties understood, the two smiled at each other and separated their clenched hands.

"By the way, this is Mr. Yu from Bona..."

After the two men finished their greetings, Gong Yu smiled and stepped forward to introduce Yu Dong and other big names in the film and television industry to Lin Li. Both sides were very enthusiastic, and naturally the atmosphere of the conversation was very good. For a while, the courtyard was filled with hearty laughter.

Seeing that the people in the courtyard formed an irregular circle with Lin Li as the center and wrapped him up in it, Cheng Xiao and Bai Lu looked at each other awkwardly, and both felt what the other wanted to express.

So dazzling!

Although he had seen Lin Li being the center of attention on various occasions more than once, it was a completely different experience to be able to see this kind of scene in the most high-end Hua Xia Club in the capital.

Look at who are the people surrounding Lin Li?

Wang Changtian of Guangguang, Yu Dong of Bona, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, Cao Huayi of Xinli, Gong Yu of Kiwi…

Which one of them is not a figure in the entertainment industry who can make the circle tremble with just a stomp of his feet!

But now, they were like stars surrounding the moon, all surrounding Lin Li, who looked a little too young. Each one was more proactive than the other in coming forward to chat enthusiastically, while Lin Li, on the other hand, looked calm and at ease.

Cheng Xiao and Bai Lu both stared at Lin Li, who was the center of attention, their hearts pounding.

It's really hard to look away!
