Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 4 Heart-to-heart talk
Seeing this, Teacher He and Teacher Huang looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

"Brother Zijian, please sit down first and don't get excited. We have plenty of time today and we can talk slowly."

Lin Li pulled Dong Zijian, and the guy reacted a little too strongly.

"Well, I am really surprised! A great writer is right in front of me, and he is still so young. It's a bit incredible to think about it!"

Dong Zijian sat down angrily, touching his nose and muttering.

"Yes, yes. I just checked on my phone and found that you have published dozens of works. How did you manage to be so productive? It's amazing!"

Xie Yilin also interrupted at this time to express her shock.

Of course, the body movements are as exaggerated as ever.

"Yes, I'm curious too."

Chen Duling held the water cup in front of her, with a little admiration in her eyes, and nodded in agreement.

At first glance, this situation was basically within my expectations.

Lin Li organized his words and prepared to start the performance.

At this time, the directors and staff who heard the news also gathered from all directions. It must be said that the works released by Lin Li in recent years have a wide coverage.

It covers almost every age group and the vast majority of audiences.

Not surprisingly, many here have seen his works.

"It's not complicated, actually. I was born in a rural area. My family conditions were very ordinary when I was young. Like many families, my parents worked away from home all year round to make a living."

"When I was in the second year of junior high school, my parents were working in other places, and I lived in the school dormitory."

Lin Li spoke calmly and briefly explained his family situation.

"When I have free time occasionally, I want to find something to kill time."

"At that time, my parents were worried about me because they were away from home, so they bought me a Nokia smartphone with internet access. I would read some novels online in my free time."

"After reading so much, I came up with the idea of ​​trying to write something myself."

"At that time, there was no computer at home, so I would use the living expenses I saved to go to the Internet cafe for about three hours every weekend to write down the stories in my mind."

“I just wrote some short stories at first, and then tried to submit them.”

"To be honest, I didn't expect that a publishing house would contact me and want to help me publish my first work not long after I submitted it."

"By the way, my first published work is Tragedy and Rebellion."

Having said this, Lin Li paused and glanced at Chen Duling.

Chen Duling had been staring at Lin Li intently. When she saw Lin Li stop and glance at her, she subconsciously lowered her head again.

This little girl is really not easy to tease.

At this time, everyone was listening to Lin Li attentively and no one noticed this scene. Only Dahua found something wrong and looked between the two of them suspiciously.

Because his Chinese was not very good, it was difficult for him to understand long strings of words and he was a little distracted, so he happened to notice this detail.

"That's basically it. I've written quite a few since then, but I didn't expect so many people would like it. I'm a little terrified, but also deeply honored."

After the simple and clear explanation, Lin Li sighed half-truthfully.

"So, under the pressure of the high school entrance exam and the college entrance exam, you still found time to write so many popular works?!"

Dong Zijian took a sip of wine and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Geniuses are really different from ordinary people like us. I dare not be distracted when I am studying."

"One more thing to add, Ali also found time to get admitted to Renmin University!"

Chen Duling no longer cared about being shy at this time. She raised her eyes and stared at Lin Li, with admiration in her words.

"Please stop praising me, Dudu. I always think that everyone has their own shining points. As long as you find your own position, you will always shine."

"Just like your acting skills are great, brother Zijian, and sister Yilin is very good at livening up the atmosphere. Many works need such roles."

"Brother Dahua is very talented in music, and Dudu is also a top student at the China Southern Airlines. If he doesn't enter the entertainment industry, he will have to build airplanes. His first movie will have good box office results."

Lin Li expounded his own views and pointed out the advantages of several people one by one.

Chen Duling looked at Lin Li with a serious expression and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

After this exchange, she slowly began to reconcile Lin Li's face with the image of the writer Nan Xun in her mind.

He is sunny and cheerful, talented, and his appearance stands out in the entertainment industry where there are so many handsome men. He is also very humble.

Well... I just like to amuse myself occasionally.

But, it’s not annoying.

"Ali is right. We are all talented and should be useful. There is no need to underestimate ourselves. We are all great. I hope everyone here can shine in their respective fields in the future."

Teacher He began to summarize and encouraged everyone.

"Yes, yes, I've said so much and my mouth is dry, let's have a clink."

Lin Li resumed his casual demeanor and began to raise his glass in greeting.

"Come on, do it!"

"Dry"

Everyone raised their glasses in response, and even Chen Duling secretly raised the glass in his hand to gesture.

Lin Li couldn't help but be touched by Chen Duling's cute behavior when he saw her out of the corner of his eye. After getting to know her, he found that she was a very interesting girl.

A cool and beautiful girl with a queen-like voice?
No, she's the kind of girl who blushes when teased.

Different from the cool feeling she creates on the screen, she is smart, cute and polite in real life. Her voice is a bit mature and she is particularly shy.

Remembering this episode in the previous life, Teacher Huang had been encouraging Dahua to interact with her and create a CP atmosphere in order to increase the appeal of the show.

You can see that she was very embarrassed at the time, but she responded politely throughout and was very decent.

But I remember that it was after this show that the two of them participated in a virtual couple program, which was probably because of the good response after the broadcast of "Longing for Life".

But this time, Dahua, I am here, so you don’t have the chance to create a couple!

Thinking of this, Lin Li adjusted his state and prepared to take action.

In this life, he has no idea of ​​falling in love and getting married too early.

After all, his goal is to make money first and then experience the temptations of the entertainment industry.

He is still young, and he doesn't want to give up the whole forest for a tree.

But, among the trees in this forest, it wouldn't be too much if I cut down a few more?
As long as I don’t publicly admit that I have a girlfriend, I will always be single!
For example, our top star surnamed Yang has a new girlfriend for every movie he stars in. But as long as he is stubborn, he will not admit it even if he is photographed many times. His fans are also strong-willed and can convince themselves every time.

"By the way, winter vacation should be coming soon. Do you have any plans for the vacation?" Teacher Huang, who had been observing for a while, took over the topic and asked about Lin Li's vacation plans.

"I actually have an idea. I published a short story a while ago. The story takes place in 07 and tells the story of five children in a staff compound. They played together, grew up together, and experienced the best years of their lives together."

Lin Li stood up and gave Teacher Huang a brief description.

"Youth campus type?"

“I guess so.”

"Tell me what you think."

Huang Lei had a premonition that the highlight of the night was about to begin.

Chen Duling, who was standing by, suddenly had an idea and roughly knew which novel Lin Li was talking about. She became more and more curious, even though she already had the answer in her heart.

The others were also staring at Lin Li, waiting for his answer.

"I plan to film this work during the winter vacation."

Lin Li did not keep anyone in suspense and calmly told everyone his plan.

“You want to be a director?”

"Oh my god, this is a cross-border thing!"

"Big news, big news!"

In addition to the few people present, the surrounding "Longing" production crew members also became agitated and let out suppressed exclamations.

"Yes, I have had this idea for quite a long time, and this work is very simple to shoot. If we are fast, it can be basically finished in more than a month."

"It can be considered a new attempt. After all, a writer who can't be a director is not a good student."

At the end, Lin Li even made a joke to make fun of himself.

"Young people are full of energy, if you need any help from me, just let me know."

Teacher Huang raised his hand and nodded at Lin Li, expressing his support.

"Yes, Ali, if you need any help, just let me know."

"Of course I believe that filming a web series is not a difficult task for you. I am actually looking forward to your finished product."

Teacher He also gave a verbal promise and showed great confidence in Lin Li's actions.

In his opinion, judging from Lin Li’s past performance, filming a low-budget web drama is indeed a piece of cake.

"Haha, thank you both teachers for your support. You're welcome, absolutely not polite, I will definitely trouble you two when the time comes."

"After all, I'm still a novice in the field of film and television, so I have to learn from you two teachers."

"Especially Mr. Huang, the relationship with the Beijing Film Academy teacher is really worthwhile if we don't use it!"

Lin Li accepted the kindness of the two without hesitation. After all, relationships are maintained by mutual interactions.

Huang Lei and He Jiong laughed happily upon seeing this. They naturally wanted to maintain their relationship with Lin Li.

Based on their experience, it is not difficult to see that Lin Li’s achievements will definitely not be low after he officially enters the entertainment industry. This is a network of contacts that is worth maintaining.

"So, Director Lin, are you short of actors? Do you think I'm suitable?"

At this time, Xie Yilin's voice suddenly became hoarse and she cast a coquettish glance at Lin Li.

"Yes, Director Lin, what do you think of me? I'm cheap and easy to use."

Dong Zijian also came up with a flattering expression, as if he wanted to choose me.

"Yes, yes, yes, I, Director Lin, I can do it too!"

Seeing this, Dahai was not willing to be outdone and started to join in the fun.

"Well, I can do that, too."

Chen Duling gently raised her little hand, stared at Lin Li with her clear and sparkling eyes, and whispered in agreement with the main group.

The atmosphere was extremely heated for a while.

After all, this is the first time that the popular writer Nan Xun has directed his own work!

No one present is a fool. They all know how much attention it will attract if they can star in Nanxun’s first film and television work that he wrote and directed himself.

No matter how the show is ultimately broadcast, it will create a good relationship with Lin Li.

What's more, with the current public attention on Nanxun, there is also the 185cm tall handsome man they are seeing now, a top student at Renmin University.

Perhaps the day Lin Li's identity was exposed, the effect would be more than just 1+1=2.

There's no reason to fail, right?

"Well, the protagonists of my play are a group of teenagers aged 16 or 17."

Lin Li explained, trying to suppress their enthusiasm.

"I think I'm still very malleable with makeup on!"

Xie Yilin did not give up and continued to speak.

"Well, I think I have a strong sense of youth."

Dong Zijian also joined in the fun, but he knew in his mind that if he wasn't the protagonist, there would be no need for him to act, but he still joined in the fun.

Dahua also shouted in rhythm with the other two, but Lin Li didn't take him seriously and automatically ignored him.

"I would be very grateful if you two could come over and make a cameo appearance. It would be a waste of resources if you just played supporting roles."

"But Dudu, if possible, can you come over and play a cameo role for me?"

Lin Li responded to Xie Yilin and Dong Zijian very politely, and at the same time looked at Chen Duling who looked eager to try, and asked.

"Me? Of course."

Chen Duling was startled when his name was suddenly called, then answered without hesitation and very actively.

She was so happy to be able to act in the work of her favorite writer.

Moreover, after getting in touch with him, Chen Duling found that his thoughts seemed not so simple.

If he only liked Nan Xun's works before, he had a fan filter.

Now, she seemed to be interested in Lin Li.

Who doesn’t like a talented and high-spirited young man who is already very successful in a field but is still willing to step out of his comfort zone and keep trying new things, and who also has an outstanding appearance?

She seemed to want to know more about him.
