Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 411: Justified and Lin Li’s Warnings

In this small piece of land in the capital, there is no secret that can be hidden.

In addition, since they did not deliberately conceal their presence, photos of Lin Li and Chen Duling appearing at JD.com’s headquarters were quickly taken and uploaded to the Internet, attracting a large number of netizens to watch.

"What is this, a meeting between alumni and their families? Is this considered an open secret?"

"Don't say it, don't say it! They are both alumni of Renmin University. Milk tea and Dudu also graduated from prestigious universities and look so similar. Wow!"

"So Milk Tea and Dudu are the favorites of Renmin University alumni?"

"Well, Renmin University students, please reply. It's really not that exaggerated. I'm currently studying for a master's degree. I've been in school for five years. There's really no one as good-looking as the one from Nanjing University. My classmates are also looking for partners that are far from the level of Milk Tea and Dudu. Well... I can only say that successful Renmin University alumni may have the same hobbies. That's it!"

"Pfft! Hahaha! Thanks to the friend from Renmin University above for sharing his own experience."

"To be honest, I think this move by NTU is no different from an official announcement. After all, they brought Dudu to visit JD.com, and Dongzi and Milk Tea accompanied them throughout the visit. If they were just friends, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable?"

"So the Zhang Jingyi and Nanda I just supported for a few days are down again?"

"You guys are such a jerk. They were just friends visiting an alumni company openly and there was nothing overly intimate about it. Why do you have to over-interpret it?"

"Friend above, you can fool yourself, but do you still want to fool others?"

"Dudu and Nanda! I can!"

"I can't! Nan Da is the one who truly loves Zhang Jingyi!"

"Heh...Nanda and Reba, those who understand will understand!"

"You are all just daydreaming. Xiaotian hasn't said anything yet!"

"Wife! ... Sorry, I went to the wrong comment section."

……

I am just going off topic on a daily basis. Many people in many places, when seeing the photos of Lin Li taking Chen Duling and Liu Qiangdong and his wife to visit JD.com's headquarters, felt unwilling.

After all, everyone wants to be aboveboard and have a legitimate reason!
-

JD’s internal club.

"Junior brother seems to have something to say to me. Now that it's just the two of us, we can talk freely."

After Liu Qiangdong poured out the tea leaves on the tea table that had been brewed seven or eight times and whose taste was beginning to fade, he took the cake of Pu'er tea, which was not bad, and started brewing tea again.

After lunch, Zhang Zetian took Chen Duling somewhere else to chat about some private matters between women, and Liu Qiangdong, who had long noticed that Lin Li seemed to have something to say to him, took him to the tea room. However, he did not expect that the two of them would talk about everything from market economy to the international situation, and Lin Li still did not talk about business even when the tea had lost its flavor, so he had to take the initiative to ask questions.

"I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news in the entertainment industry recently. My image as a junior brother has been ruined recently. Many netizens say that I'm a complete scumbag."

Lin Li did not answer him directly, but took a sip of tea and suddenly changed his topic.

"Hey, you are so shameless. I haven't paid much attention to your gossip, but from what I know, you are not wronged."

"The first one I saw was the one called Dilireba, right? Tsk... She was exotic and beautiful."

"And the advertising endorsement you asked me for was given to that Tian...Tian what's that?"

"It doesn't matter anyway, my last name is Tian."

"The two I met in China last time were unfamiliar to me. They were pretty pretty."

"This time you brought Miss Chen here again, and you brought her to me, which means she is different to you."

"Junior brother, calling you a scumbag is not unfair to you at all."

The water for washing the first batch of tea was poured out, and Liu Qiangdong kept scolding Lin Lidao as he waited for the tea cake inside to be washed by the hot water and the tea leaves began to wake up.

"Brother is right. I am still young and cannot grasp the situation. There are too many temptations in the entertainment industry. It is so tempting to be seduced!"

"Fortunately, I am different from my senior brother. I am a writer and I mainly work behind the scenes. It doesn't matter even if everyone knows that I am not a good person."

"Well... of course, I'll try my best to maintain my image as a good person before graduation."

As Lin Li was talking, he suddenly realized that he couldn't be too absolute. After all, he still had to consider the school's reputation and Liu Wei's attitude.

So, he changed the subject and restrained his indifferent attitude.

"Haha, I thought you were fearless."

"Yes, to be honest, I envy my junior brother in some ways. Even if he is a playboy, he still has a good reputation."

"Tsk, cultured people are different."

After saying that, he opened the lid of the tea bowl, lifted the lid and sniffed the rich tea fragrance, then began to pour water and make tea.

He was still smacking his lips and sighing.

But it's not surprising at all.

All over the world, people are tolerant and even indulgent towards talented people.

The moral standards of Chinese people are relatively high. If a writer were placed in an island country, his status would be extremely high. The social status of writers in a certain cosmic power is also at the top.

In some European and American countries, many wealthy ladies would be willing to spend a night with a talented writer and would be proud of it.

When it comes to personal feelings, writers are inherently invincible.

Don't ask, I'm asking for inspiration.

Since ancient times, among literati and poets, being loyal has been a beautiful thing, and being amorous has been an elegant thing.

Moreover, the nature of this type of group is destined to attract a lot of attention, and many people's moral standards will be lowered when facing them.

The only thing ordinary people can show off is loyalty, but apart from loyalty, other things about this type of celebrity are attractive.

Talking about loyalty with this kind of people is not impossible, it's just that you are asking too much.

Moreover, although Liu Qiangdong is in the business circle, he also has some understanding of the entertainment industry, even though he doesn't think highly of any of the people except a few.

There is a hierarchy in every circle, there is no doubt about that.

Liu Qiangdong sees this hierarchy as more of a market regulation.

The real hierarchy is very complex.

To put it simply, the cultural circle is larger than the literary and artistic circle, which is larger than the entertainment circle, which is larger than the entertainment journalist circle. The entertainment journalist circle is also the media circle.

Among them, the media circle may overlap with the first-tier cultural circle. Liu Qiangdong has not made any special efforts to understand the cultural circle, but it is said that many well-known actors have been curious about this circle for a long time.

This circle belongs to the upper link of the food chain. There are not many people, but they are all elite groups. Some of his subordinates have dealt with this group of people. After coming back, they said that they could not understand what those people were talking about at all, and felt that all the time they had studied was in vain.

In short, the information revealed by this cultural circle is very little, which is not available to ordinary people, and the topics discussed are also relatively profound and obscure.

Among them, a group of cultural figures represented by Wang Shuo are also in this circle, including actor Li Jian, host Wang Han, etc.

Some people who have achieved great success in the media industry, such as Yang Lan, can also enter this circle.

Of course, ordinary entertainment reporters cannot enter this door, they can only make guesses based on vague circumstances.

Next is the literary and artistic circle. There are many types of people in this circle, such as screenwriters, directors, veteran actors, reporters, musicians and so on.

Although these people are one level lower than the cultural circle, they are still at the top of the food chain and have relatively greater decision-making power.

Perhaps one of their decisions can affect the lives of many people. Without the support of these people, it would be difficult to make any progress in the entire circle.

As many people say, the Beijing circle has a greater influence in this circle.

On the contrary, the lower you go, the smaller the influence of the Beijing circle becomes.

Moreover, the Beijing circle is actually a pseudo-concept. It is not as powerful as some people say. That is an exaggeration of the facts.

The Beijing circle is not everywhere, because the domestic environment does not allow such a behemoth to emerge.

Of course, we should be thankful that the Beijing circle is only a small circle with limited influence, otherwise a devastating blow would have come.

Then comes the entertainment industry, which is basically composed of celebrities familiar to the public.

It looks well packaged and is glittering and shiny.

In fact, all that glitters is not the beauty.

This circle is the most decadent, disorderly, fake and inhumane place.

There are really no other rules in this circle, being famous is the only rule.

Most cultural celebrities are reluctant to stay in the entertainment industry because it is too dirty and messy.

But sometimes, for the sake of money or for personal needs, we have no choice but to be consumed by others.

Without a strong backing in this circle, you will just be a fish on the chopping board. In fact, Liu Qiangdong looks down on Lin Li's relationship with these female stars.

He's just a star, just for fun, but he looked at Lin Li very seriously.

But when he thought of Lin Li's age and the ages of the female stars related to him, he felt relieved.

After all, Lin Li has the ability to protect them.

Finally, there is the entertainment reporter circle, which is the paparazzi, and is on the fringe of the entertainment industry.

There are many things we don’t know, so we have to rely on precise measurement.

There are indeed some very capable people in the upper echelons of this circle, some of whom can even enter the cultural circle.

But it’s of no use, this circle is still at the bottom.

Only Lin Li is an exception.

Let's say he is in the cultural circle. His achievements far exceed those people living in this circle, but he doesn't even deal with them.

This led to people in this circle wanting to get in touch with him, but they were too embarrassed to do so because he was really young.

Many old-timers in the circle are still waiting for Lin Li to contact them, but as far as Liu Qiangdong is concerned, they probably won't be able to wait any longer.

If we say Lin Li is in the entertainment industry, then of course he is one of them.

But in Liu Qiangdong's view, those are actually not important. It is enough that Lin Li is from Renmin University.

"Brother, you don't have to envy me. After all, you know my situation. Even if all my relationships are exposed, it won't hurt me personally. I just don't want those who are related to me to be implicated."

"But you are different, Senior Brother. You are the pride of our university. You still need to pay more attention to it on weekdays!"

"It's not so bad in China. I believe few people have the courage to do this. But it's different when you go abroad. Those barbarians who can't even turn a few pages in history books don't follow the rules."

"Brother, please don't be blinded, otherwise I will have to take over your place and become the pride of Renmin University."

Lin Li teased Liu Qiangdong with a smile, hinting at something.

Liu Qiangdong paused while pouring tea and looked up at Lin Li.

Lin Li drank his tea leisurely and nodded at him with a smile.

Liu Qiangdong looked at Lin Li deeply, without asking any more questions, and continued to ask Lin Li about his new movie.

Continue chatting.

It was already evening when Lin Li and Chen Duling left JD.com's headquarters. Liu Qiangdong looked in the direction they left for a long time without moving, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong, Lao Liu?"

Zhang Zetian looked at Liu Qiangdong who was lying motionless beside him and asked curiously.

"What do you think of my junior fellow apprentice?"

Liu Qiangdong looked at Zhang Zetian beside him and smiled gently.

"It was a short time so I can't tell much, but he looks mature beyond his years, not at all like someone of his age."

"But there is one thing, one thing is that I am a passionate person."

After Zhang Zetian made his comment, he thought about it and added a sentence.

"Hahaha, that's right, he's definitely not as loyal as me."

Liu Qiangdong laughed and started to brag about himself under Zhang Zetian's amused gaze.

His peripheral vision was still paying attention to the direction Lin Li left, with confusion in his eyes.

What he didn't understand was why this junior fellow suddenly called him out today?
