Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 354 Tell the story well, different thoughts

“I think everyone has heard many versions of the answer to this question.”

"Including myself, actually."

"I guess you guys might want to hear something special from me, but to be honest, my thoughts are actually very simple."

"In my opinion, the most important thing about a good movie is to tell a good story. Only when the story is told well will people be willing to watch it, care about it, and try to figure out the deeper meaning that the movie wants to express."

Lin Li stood upright on the podium, looking seriously at the boy who was asking the question in front of him. His steady voice was accurately transmitted to the ears of everyone present through the microphone.

"Teacher Nanxun, your answer surprised me a little. To be honest, I thought you were going to talk about values, the artistry and heritage of movies, or something like that."

"I didn't expect you to be... well, so down to earth."

The boy hesitated for a moment and spoke tactfully.

"Haha... I know what you mean."

"But my idea is that movies are for the public."

"So the content to be expressed must be something that the public can understand. Movies are artistic, but the scope of this artistry can be broad or narrow. First of all, people must be able to watch it."

"In my opinion, the highest level of art should be appreciated by both the elite and the masses."

Lin Lilang laughed, and then expressed his thoughts in a clear voice, causing the Beijing Film Academy students present to nod repeatedly.

They felt that Lin Li's remarks were really down-to-earth, unlike many current film directors who were so pretentious and empty.

If the things you shoot don't perform well, you have to blame the audience for not appreciating them enough.

No matter from which perspective, Lin Li's statement is more in line with what they think.

"Teacher Nanxun, I have learned a lot from you. I am very happy to hear your answer. I have benefited a lot from it. Thank you."

The boy bowed solemnly to Lin Li, then stood up.

There was also a warm applause at the scene, and both men and women took pictures very enthusiastically.

Today, Lin Li brought them all useful information, and now they are completely convinced by Lin Li.

"Please take a seat, classmate."

"Does anyone have any more questions?"

Lin Li motioned for the boys to sit down, then looked around the already packed classroom and corridor and asked loudly.

"Okay, since no one has any questions, let's stop here today. I also want to say goodbye to everyone. I have some things to take care of."

"Goodbye everyone."

Seeing that no one asked any more questions, Lin Li announced the end of this temporary course.

"Thank you, Teacher Nanxun!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Nanxun!"

"Goodbye Teacher Nanxun"

Voices of thanks and farewells were heard inside and outside the classroom.

Lin Li waved to everyone, turned around and greeted Xu Haofeng, then quickly walked down the stage without giving him a chance to stay.

Before Xu Haofeng could raise a new question, he saw Lin Li running away, so he could only chuckle and shake his head.

Anyway, with the interaction just now, he has brought huge attention to the school and his goal has been perfectly achieved.

Lin Li did not return to his seat. The current situation was not appropriate. Since he happened to see Jingyi there, he went to talk to her about the recording of Xiangwang.

After giving Zhou Ye a look that said "wait for the meeting", Lin Li smiled and nodded at everyone in response to their enthusiastic applause and cheers, while walking out of the classroom.

The students in the corridor spontaneously made way for Lin Li to pass through, and he walked forward slowly along the space left by everyone with a gentle smile on his face.

Zhang Jingyi clapped her hands lightly, staring at Lin Li who was walking towards her, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

But gradually, she realized something was wrong!
She found that Lin Li was walking straight towards her, his eyes meeting hers without any hesitation, and he was getting closer and closer.

It seemed like Lin Li was really coming for him!

Not only her, but also Zhou Ye and others in the classroom, as well as people in the corridor, noticed that after Lin Li walked out of the classroom, he went straight to a girl. That girl was... Zhang Jingyi?
Zhou Ye's slender eyebrows were knitted together, and his hands were clenched tightly under the seat.

Zhang Jingyi!!!
The students from Beijing Film Academy present all know that Zhang Jingyi played the role of Fengquan in Nanxun Culture. Currently in Beijing Film Academy, she is also considered a celebrity in the 17 acting department.

After all, everyone understands that the heroine of Nanxun Culture's TV series is of great quality, and we are just waiting for Fengquan to appear. Perhaps this person is the most popular female student at their Beijing Film Academy.

Her national popularity may be lower than Guan Xiaotong, but her popularity is likely to be higher than hers.

After all, there is Tian Xiwei from the Shanghai Theatre Academy who can be used as a reference, so it is no exaggeration to say that this drama is a success.

But what puzzled them was that Feng Quan was not directed by Teacher Nanxun himself. Were the two of them familiar with each other?

"Jingyi, I have something to talk to you about. Can we go for a walk together?"

Lin Li walked through the crowd and stopped in front of Zhang Jingyi, looking down at her with a casual and intimate tone.

Zhang Jingyi has frozen at the windowsill!
The afterglow of the four o'clock sun shone tenderly on Lin Li, casting a layer of illusory light and shadow on him. Zhang Jingyi looked at his ink-like eyebrows and eyes, and was completely stunned.

"Jingyi?"

"Ok!"

Lin Li's repeated words brought Zhang Jingyi back to her senses quickly. Her expression was extremely calm, but if you listened carefully to what she said, you would find that rather than being calm, she was answering mechanically, and her voice was trembling slightly.

"Well, let's walk around the campus." "Everyone, please make way, thank you."

Lin Li chatted with Zhang Jingyi very naturally, then turned around and said to the people in front of them with a smile.

"Yes!"

The crowd in front immediately made room for two people to pass through. Lin Li nodded to express his gratitude to them, then took the lead and walked forward.

Lin Li walked away a little, and then the sound of whispers began to be heard around. Zhang Jingyi vaguely heard her name and Lin Li's name being mentioned repeatedly, and gradually, there were also flickering eyes that glanced back and forth at them from time to time.

After a while, the sound became louder, like a buzzing sound, and more and more people were looking at them, and their gazes were becoming more and more blatant.

"Xiaotong, I'll go over first."

"Well... I'll tell you in detail when we get back to the dormitory later."

Zhang Jingyi wanted to follow him directly, but after seeing Su Xiaotong's stunned expression beside her, she thought about it and patted her on the shoulder to remind her.

"Oh well!"

Su Xiaotong looked at the numerous Beijing Film Academy buildings, then looked at Zhang Jingyi in front of her, and answered in a daze.

"See you."

Zhang Jingyi nodded to her, then trotted after Lin Li's back.

Jingyi actually knows Teacher Nanxun, but she never told me!
Su Xiaotong looked at the two people gradually going away, and suddenly felt cheated.

Thinking back to the time from Feng Quan's audition to today, she had talked about Lin Li countless times in front of Zhang Jingyi, and she always smiled without saying a word. Now she finally understood what was going on!

It turns out they knew each other for a long time!

Su Xiaotong didn't know how to describe her feelings right now. She probably understood Zhang Jingyi's thoughts and didn't want too many people to know about her relationship with Lin Li.

But I still have an indescribable feeling. She originally debuted as a child star and was a star student of Beijing Film Academy, but now...

In the classroom, Zhou Ye saw Lin Li walk up to Zhang Jingyi. The two of them said something to each other. Then Lin Li walked away first, and Zhang Jingyi quickly caught up with him!

What are you doing!

Lin Li was clearly here to find her!
Two flames danced in Zhou Ye's bright eyes, his teeth were clenched, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping his legs turned slightly white from using too much force.

Time and time again, this Zhang Jingyi is so annoying!

Wang Zhixuan looked at the backs of Lin Li and the other man as they left, the jealousy in her eyes almost solidified. She didn't understand why Lin Li rejected her again and again. What was wrong with her?
You are beautiful too, okay!

Although it was true that she was the one who took the initiative to seduce Lin Li the first time, but in the entertainment industry, isn't this normal?
Everyone is waiting for a good price, and she believes in Lin Li's potential in the entertainment industry so she wants to give herself to him. She won't be so proactive with everyone!

When Lin Li, a top writer, crossed over into the entertainment industry, his identity was not disclosed. No one knew whether Keai could succeed or to what extent.

I have already prepared myself mentally, and it would be even better if being cute succeeds.

Even if she fails, she will not lose out by hooking up with Lin Li, a great writer with both good looks and fame.

But I didn't expect that I would be rejected by him!

Moreover, when they met again, she hinted to him but was rejected again. After that, she was treated as his tool and was completely defeated in front of Meng Ziyi!
She is so unwilling!
After she met Lin Li, there was no room for anyone else in her eyes. If she had to rely on her body to get to the top, that person must be Lin Li!
And she was so envious of the brilliant star in that rumored movie!

"Alright, alright, everyone please concentrate. I will analyze what Teacher Nanxun just said sentence by sentence for everyone to understand more easily."

At this time, Xu Haofeng on the podium clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention after seeing Lin Li leave, and then began to give a detailed explanation.

However, many people in the classroom had become absent-minded, and many of them shared what Lin Li talked about today through photos and videos on the Internet.

The impact of this news is also slowly brewing on the Internet.

-

"Jingyi, you haven't been back to class for a long time. Are you getting used to it?"

Lin Li glanced at Zhang Jingyi who was one step behind him and said in a gentle voice.

"I've adapted, but it's true that this filming of Wind Dog has taught me a lot and made me realize many of my shortcomings. While I'm still in school, I'm going to work hard to solve some of the problems I didn't notice before."

Zhang Jingyi followed Lin Li closely with her hands clasped in front of her, looking up at him from time to time.

After hearing Lin Li's question, she told him everything she felt, her voice soft and gentle.

"That's right. It's always a good idea to learn more while you're still in school."

"Otherwise, after the show is aired and becomes popular, you won't have so much time to sit down and study quietly."

Lin Li lowered his eyes to look at her and said as a matter of course.

"Ali, can I ask you a question?"

After much hesitation, Zhang Jingyi finally decided to ask the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"Hmm? Tell me what's wrong."

Lin Li glanced at her serious expression and said casually.

"Is that me, the lighter heroine in your mind?"

Lin Li paused and turned to look at her nervous little face.

Zhang Jingyi also stopped and looked at him, meeting his gaze without flinching.

For a moment, the air around seemed to stagnate.
