Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 42 Vanity Fair

Day two.

The sun is shining brightly during the day and the temperature is very suitable at night.

Around six o'clock in the evening, Lin Li met up with Gao Wen and her duo at the school gate, and they drove together to the place they had agreed to meet with Wang Changtian.

The place we agreed to meet was a private club, which was not too remote and not far from the school, approximately an hour’s drive away.

"Sister Wen, what do you think of Wang Changtian?"

Since there was nothing to do in the car, Lin Li pulled Gao Wen aside to chat.

Gao Wen glanced at Lin Li through the rearview mirror: "He is a man with great vision and courage."

Lin Li immediately became interested and leaned forward: "Tell me in detail."

Gao Wen thought for a while and spoke again: "Wang Changtian led Light Media to follow the Hollywood STUDIO model. Under the logic of "self-generation", many businesses have formed a close interaction. It not only improves efficiency, but also enhances the company's ability to resist risks. Through modern corporate management systems and a reasonable equity structure, Light Media is more conducive to the stable growth of the company. Compared with Huayi's model of star shareholding, Light Media's executives hold a high proportion of shares and have a lock-up period, which avoids the company's business shocks caused by breaking up with stars. In the long run, he can lead Light Media to become a big mountain in the circle, which is expected."

"Well said."

Lin Li nodded in agreement and once again looked at Gao Wen with admiration. Being able to understand so much information in a short period of time and give an accurate evaluation was an amazing ability and efficiency.

While we were chatting, the car stopped and it seemed that we had arrived at our destination.

After getting off the car and looking around, I found that this was a quiet place in a bustling city, because the bustling Sanlitun Street was not far away, about one or two kilometers away. However, this group of buildings with gray exteriors was unusually quiet.

Before they had time to look around, they saw several figures coming out of the tall gate and heading straight towards them. Lin Li withdrew his gaze and greeted them with a decent smile.

When he got closer, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking energetic came forward and extended his hand to greet him warmly: "Mr. Lin, I have heard of your fame for a long time. Today I finally see you in person. You are indeed a young talent."

Lin Li raised the corners of his lips and shook the other person's hand with a humble look: "I have heard of Mr. Wang for a long time. As a newcomer to the industry, I still have a lot to learn from him."

Wang Changtian released his hand and put his arm around Lin Li's shoulders, facing the crowd: "Look, Mr. Lin's first drama has already secured a spot in the top three of the Penguin Awards, and he is so humble. We should all learn from him."

The onlookers echoed the praise one after another, and among them, Lin Li also found a familiar figure.

She was wearing a beige dress, white high heels, her hair draped over her shoulders, and a healing smile on her face, but with a hint of uneasiness and curiosity, she was hiding in the crowd, secretly looking at herself.

It's really like someone sends you a pillow just when you are sleepy. Lin Li felt a little emotional. He really didn't expect that she was an artist of Guangguang.

However, there was no time to think about it. Lin Li looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Mr. Wang, you are too kind. You are all my predecessors. I have just entered the field of film and television. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

Wang Changtian led him forward and said, "Of course, that's why I asked Mr. Lin to come over. I hope to have a chance to cooperate with him. Let's not block the door. Let's all go in and talk."

Seeing this, the others introduced themselves to each other and followed the two into the gate.

Lin Li also introduced Gao Wen to everyone and told them that if they couldn't contact him in the future, they could contact Gao Wen directly. Everyone understood what he meant and exchanged contact information with Gao Wen.

Entering the hall, you will see a lot of wood tones and white walls as the main tones, confirming that the main design is in the new Chinese style.

The simple Chinese-style sofa and the plum blossom elements on the wall are harmoniously matched, and the soft lighting makes the entire hall look luxurious but not oppressive.

The lobby uses more circular shapes to express the Chinese doctrine of the mean and create a more natural commercial space design style.

After exchanging pleasantries along the way, we walked through the lobby and entered the corridor of the club.

The corridor extracts high-end atrium garden elements and combines them with a new modern theme. At the end are Chinese-style murals and sculptures of mythical beasts representing Chinese civilization, which exude the humanistic style of China for thousands of years.

On one side of the corridor there is a gray wall decorated with gardens, and on the other side there is a wooden wall with a sense of design, which brings out the feeling of luxury without oppression, comfort without simplicity that customers need.

While looking at this design full of cultural atmosphere, Lin Li sighed that rich people are really corrupt, but he felt something was wrong.

Oh, I think I am one of them, that's okay.

As you enter the restaurant, you will see modern and simple soft furnishings, giving you a luxurious and comfortable visual experience.

The round-shaped chandelier echoes the wall architecture and the hall, unifying the design style of the space.

The natural wood-colored floor-length curtains not only match the overall new Chinese style, but also increase the sense of privacy, making people feel that they can relax in a casual and comfortable space.

After entering the restaurant, Wang Changtian first pushed Lin Li to the main seat, and then asked everyone else to take their seats. Lin Li wanted to stand up and say that it was inappropriate for him to sit in the main seat, but Wang Changtian pushed him down. At the same time, he called out to the girl who had been following everyone: "Ruonan, come, sit next to Mr. Lin. You are of the same age, so it's easy for you to communicate."

Zhang Ruonan, who was called, nodded obediently, adjusted the hem of her skirt behind her, and sat next to him.

A fresh fragrance also entered his nostrils.

Lin Li looked at Zhang Ruonan in front of him and recalled some jokes from his previous life.

"Zhang Ruonan, I know without even looking that she will cry as soon as she shows up."

"When Zhang Ruonan cries, the whole world is wrong."

The heroine of the youth pain literature who is full of brokenness!
Wang Changtian extended his hand to Zhang Ruonan and then to Lin Li to introduce her: "Zhang Ruonan is our newly signed artist. She is also a loyal reader of Mr. Lin and is of the same age as Mr. Lin. When I thought about what a coincidence, I called her to come along."

Lin Li pretended to be surprised and looked at Zhang Ruonan beside him: "Miss Zhang was also born in 96?"

Zhang Ruonan nodded somewhat reservedly and answered softly, "Yes."

It seemed like this was his first time attending such an occasion, and he gave off a tense vibe.

She probably didn't expect that the first thing she would do after becoming an artist would be to accompany people at the bar.

Complaining in his heart, Lin Li smiled at Wang Changtian and said, "Boss Wang, this is really thoughtful. Please take a seat."

After everyone was seated, Wang Changtian turned to Lin Li and asked, "Mr. Lin, shall we serve the food?"

Lin Li naturally said that it was no problem, and at the same time pretended to be very humble and asked Wang Changtian for his experience along the way.

For a while, they had a very pleasant conversation.

Zhang Ruonan, who was standing aside, looked at Lin Li, who was the center of the topic, and faced the social event with a calm face, and her eyes were full of admiration.

She was born in a small rural village in Zhejiang Province, and her family was of average conditions.

As the eldest child in the family, she began to help her parents carry the burden of the family early on.

After college, she participated in a beauty contest held on campus and unexpectedly made it into the top 30! This made her noticed by many businesses and she became a model for Taobao.

After that, she gradually gained some fame, and was contacted by Guangguang not long ago. After some communication, she joined Guangguang as she wished and became a reserve force of stars in the entertainment industry.

She was a little complacent at first and thought that her future would be a star-studded road, but she didn't expect that her agent would inform her yesterday that she would have to accompany the chairman to a dinner party tomorrow.

This made her feel very uncomfortable, but when she learned that the person she had to accompany was Lin Li, who was very successful recently, she was not so resistant anymore.

She actually hadn't read Lin Li's book, not because she didn't like it, but because she simply didn't have the time before.

I have to go to school and be a model at the same time. I recently signed a contract with a company and I also have to hone my acting skills.

But it does not prevent her from knowing through daily news and social platforms that the new star in the entertainment industry with the largest traffic is undoubtedly Lin Li.

A talented writer, a top student from a prestigious university, and with idol-like looks, his first TV series as a director was a huge success!
He is simply the perfect template for the male lead in idol dramas!

So after finding out it was him, Zhang Ruonan quickly made all the necessary preparations. Yesterday, she learned all about Lin Li's personal experience, and then she made up for the drama "Lovely".

It has to be said that the more she gets to know him, the more attractive Lin Li becomes to her!

She felt that if she could successfully star in Lin Li's movie, she would have a high chance of becoming popular, because Lin Li had never failed in his career!
Especially after meeting Lin Li in person today, his calm demeanor and the confidence with which he could talk freely even with industry giants like their President Wang had caused her quite a shock.

We are all 21 years old, why are you so outstanding?

However, this also made her more confident that as long as she could be in his movie, she would have a chance to become a hit!

Secretly paying attention to Lin Li who was having a great conversation with Wang Changtian, Zhang Ruonan's clear and lively eyes moved slightly, secretly cheering herself up.

I first got to know Zhang Ruonan through Douyin, which was followed by videos about sadness and swimming pools. Her smile is indeed very healing, and her appearance is something that people can remember.

Also, thank you to all the handsome guys who have given me rewards recently. Your support is my greatest motivation.
