Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 364 Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Let's go! Go ask the production team for money!"

They worked until just after five o'clock and finally finished planting the field. Lin Li couldn't wait to pick up his shoes and strode barefoot towards the mushroom house with great momentum.

Peng Yuchang and Zhang Jingyi followed behind him, holding their shoes. Peng Yuchang looked arrogant, while Zhang Jingyi pursed her lips to hold back her smile, and followed them obediently, holding her shoes.

"Teacher He, this Director Lin doesn't look like the one he used to speak at events. He looks very much like a real person!"

Wang Yanqiu, holding his shoes, and hanging with He Jiong behind Lin Li and the others, sighed tactfully.

"Hahaha, that's right, but isn't that what he should be like at his age?"

He Jiong smiled and appreciated Lin Li's actions.

"That's right. It's mainly because of Director Lin's achievements that people tend to ignore his age."

"When The Revenge was released, I went out of the crew to watch it. It was so well shot! It's hard to imagine that such a film was made by a new director. The camera language is so delicate and realistic."

"I also watched Director Lin's explanation of the use of audio-visual language in the film about a young man at Beijing Film Academy in early January. It was very impressive."

"To be honest with you, Mr. He, Director Xu and I talked about Director Lin's video on the way. Director Xu also highly praised Director Lin. I guess he will inevitably discuss it with Director Lin after dinner tonight."

Wang Yanqiu, who had always been taciturn, spoke a long speech, which was full of admiration for Lin Li.

"Yes, but a genius should behave in a way that is different from ordinary people."

"We should just appreciate his work and go to the theater to see what it is like when it is released."

Teacher He looked at Lin Li's back and Wang Yanqiu and said with a smile.

"That makes sense, haha."

Wang Yanqiu nodded in agreement and laughed out loud.

On the other side, Lin Li and the other two had already entered the courtyard and rushed straight to the studio of the program crew.

"Director, I want to protest and come out to talk."

Lin Li, with his legs covered in mud, stood straight in front of the production crew, imitating Huang Lei's imposing manner as he pointed his shoes at them.

"Yes, come out and talk!"

Peng Yuchang put one hand on his waist, holding his shoe and pointing at the program team like Lin Li, and he seemed even more imposing than Lin Li.

"Correct."

Zhang Jingyi tried hard to suppress her laughter, holding a shoe in one hand, raised her palm-sized face and whispered in agreement.

"Hey~ You have some of my style."

Huang Lei was cooking while watching the fun happily.

"I'll go see what's going on."

Xu Zheng looked like he was enjoying a good show; since he had finished his fight and had nothing else to do, he decided to get closer to take a look.

"Teacher Nanxun, do you have any questions?"

The director walked out with a warm grin amidst the watching eyes of a group of staff members.

"No, Dao'er, you didn't treat us like this before!"

Before Lin Li could say anything, Eddie Peng started to make accusations.

"Can you be the same as Teacher Nanxun?"

The director looked very confident.

"I...you...make sense!"

"Director Lin, come here!"

Peng Yuchang almost couldn't catch his breath, but after thinking about it, he realized that it did make sense, and silently took a step back.

"Geese, goose, goose... geese, goose, goose..."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but raise her little face and let out a series of goose sounds.

"Okay, let me talk to you guys. We planted such a large area and only gave 100 yuan. Isn't that too much!"

Lin Li glanced at Zhang Jingyi who was laughing uncontrollably, and complained to the director with a serious expression.

"Then what do you mean, Teacher Nanxun?"

The director smiled and looked like he was ready to listen to whatever you said.

"I……"

When Peng Yuchang saw the director's attitude, his eyes widened immediately. He pointed at the director with his shoes in anger again and again, but finally he swallowed the words in his throat.

After all, Lin Li is leaving tomorrow, and he has to continue recording. He dare not offend the director, so it is better to be safe!

"Here's what I'm thinking. We have such a large field. According to the current wages, one person should earn at least 300 yuan a day, right?"

"I also know that they had already completed a lot before we arrived, so let's just do it. Jingyi and I will make up for it and each of us will get 150 yuan. Isn't that reasonable?"

"Give me three hundred dollars!"

Lin Lixiao appealed to the director's emotions and reason, then threw away the shoes in his hand and confidently opened his palms to the director.

The director looked very easy to talk to, but the moment he opened his mouth, his smile disappeared: "No, thirty dollars is our limit."

The smile on Lin Li's face froze. After he came to his senses, he immediately lowered his head and looked around for the shoes on the ground. He picked them up and pretended to throw them away.

Seeing this, Peng Yuchang quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Li's waist very cooperatively, shouting: "No, no, Director Lin, calm down, calm down."

"Geese, goose, goose... geese, goose, goose..."

The smile that Zhang Jingyi had just recovered from surged up in her heart again, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back.

She had never seen such a forest before. It was so interesting and full of contrast.

At this time, He Jiong and the other man who had already walked back to the yard also surrounded them. Seeing this, He Jiong's eyes turned and he instantly came up with an idea.

"Director, look at this. If someone as popular as Ali can come to our show, it will definitely have a huge impact on our ratings. And we've done so much work today, right? 30 is really a bit unreasonable."

"You bully us normally, so that's fine, but it's inappropriate for you to be so picky when our teacher Nanxun comes."

He Jiong walked up and discussed things with the director in a logical and reasonable manner.

"That's it."

Lin Li stood aside and echoed.

"That's right. Doesn't our Director Lin have any dignity at all?"

Eddie Peng also stood up for the injustice with a look of indignation on his face.

"I want to say this. We old guys don't have much popularity, so it's fine if your production team doesn't care about us. But Teacher Nan Xun is very popular among young people. It's inappropriate for you to be so stingy, director!"

Xu Zheng was also adding fuel to the fire, his shiny bald head standing out particularly well.

"Correct!"

Zhang Jingyi, who had recovered from the shock, also tightened her face and said very seriously, "Well...it's not impossible."

"We can also add another twenty, but there is a condition."

The director looked embarrassed, and finally agreed to add another 20 after a fierce ideological struggle, and he did not forget to make another request.

"I added 20 yuan and you're still asking for more?!"

"I……"

Lin Li pretended to throw it, but this time Peng Yuchang failed to react. Lin Li looked back at him speechlessly.

"Oh, it's coming."

Eddie Peng reacted quickly and stepped forward to hug his waist.

"Geese, goose, goose... geese, goose, goose..."

This time, Zhang Jingyi squatted directly on the ground, buried her whole face between her legs, and her body shook constantly.

"Jingyi, am I that funny?"

Lin Li looked at Zhang Jingyi and asked in a gloomy voice.

"No, I... goose, goose, goose..."

Zhang Jingyi raised her little face, but before she could finish her sentence she started making goose sounds again. Lin Li's face shuddered, and he glanced helplessly at this girl with a very low sense of laughter, then turned to look at the director.

"What's your request? Tell me."

The director smiled brilliantly: "We have invited Mr. Zhu Yilong and Ms. Dilireba before, but they declined because they were busy with work. Mr. Nanxun, please take a look..."

The director's smile grew wider as he spoke, until the corners of his mouth almost reached the sky.

After all, the Rong Yao couple has been really popular in recent times!
They are so greedy!
"No, Director, you have such a beautiful idea!"

"How dare you open your mouth and ask me to betray my two best friends for 20 bucks?"

"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I will never compromise for 20 bucks!"

"Who do you think I am, Lin Li?"

"Am I someone who would bow down for 20 yuan?"

"You have to pay more!"

Lin Li looked indignant and spoke in an excited tone, but his last sentence took a 360-degree turn, breaking the waists of many onlookers.

"Hahaha!"

"Oh my god! I am so funny!"

"I can't take it anymore, Director Lin! You are amazing!"

"Geese, goose, goose... geese, goose, goose..."

He Jiong and others who were watching thought it was normal at first and nodded in agreement. However, after hearing Lin Li's last sentence, they couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

Not to mention He Jiong and the others, even the director and the program staff behind him couldn't hold it in. They were all stunned by Lin Li's sudden words and laughed so hard that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.

"Director, stop laughing and name a price."

Lin Li crossed his arms in front of him with a serious expression and continued to ask for money with a determined purpose.

"In that case, our production team will be generous and give you a hundred dollars!"

"Of course, the prerequisite is that we have to let Mr. Zhu Yilong and Ms. Reba come to our Mushroom House as guests once."

"How about it, Teacher Nanxun? Do you think it's okay?"

The director stared at Lin Li expectantly, his expression visibly tense.

"No problem, deal!"

“Give me the money now!”

Lin Li agreed without hesitation.

He Jiong and others on the side clapped their hands happily, and the atmosphere at the scene was full of joy.

"Teacher Nanxun, your money, hehe~ you can see what you promised~"

The director handed over a red banknote, and did not leave after Lin Li took it. Instead, he rubbed his hands in front of him with a flattering smile.

"Don't worry, I'll call you in a bit. At least let me take a shower and change my clothes."

"Just play after dinner, don't rush."

Lin Li looked down at the mud on his body and said to the director in silence.

"Oh, yes, yes, you go wash first."

"Don't worry, don't worry. It won't be too late to play after dinner, hehe."

The director became happier as he spoke, and in the end he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, that's it, let's go wash up."

Lin Li responded, then turned around happily with the banknotes in his hand, only to see Zhang Jingyi and the others standing before him with their arms folded across their chests, shaking their heads together.

"What? Teacher He, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Li asked pretending to be confused.

"Tsk, tsk, no way!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, impossible!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, absolutely impossible!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I will never compromise for 20 yuan!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you have to pay more!"

He Jiong and others smacked their lips, talked one after another, and shook their heads slightly, which made the staff carrying cameras on the side laugh so hard that the camera lens shook with laughter.

"I'm asking you, take this money and have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Fish Head with Chopped Peppers for lunch tomorrow! Do you want it?"

Lin Li raised the red banknotes in his hand high above his head with a proud look on his face.

"top!"

He Jiong and the others smiled at each other, then all looked at Lin Li and shouted in unison!

Dinner is about to begin in a cheerful atmosphere.
