Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 44 Choice
"Boss Lin, Boss Lin, wake up, we're here."

While half asleep, Lin Li heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes with some difficulty and found himself leaning on Zhang Ruonan's shoulder. No wonder he slept so comfortably.

He looked around and saw that he was in an underground garage. He then asked, "Are we at the hotel?"

"Yes"

Zhang Ruonan's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of nervousness.

Gao Wen glanced sideways and said, "Then Mr. Lin, Brother Bao and I will not see you off. Miss Zhang will take you upstairs. We will go back first. Feel free to contact us tomorrow when you have rested well."

"OK, all right."

Lin Li pinched his brows to show that he understood.

Then he staggered out of the car. Seeing this, Zhang Ruonan quickly put on a mask and followed him, putting his right hand on her shoulder and supporting him.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lin. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Zhang."

"It's not hard. Goodbye, Assistant Gao."

Lin Li said nothing as he listened to them saying goodbye. His mind was already spinning, so he just waved his hand to say goodbye.

"Boss Lin, a mask."

Handing out a mask, Zhang Ruonan reminded carefully.

Although his mind was a little unclear, Lin Li knew that there was a high chance that he would be recognized, so he cooperated and put on a mask.

A faint scent of jasmine wafted through the mask, slightly jolting his spirits.

I was helped to the door, swaying from side to side. I watched Zhang Ruonan take out the room card and swipe it against the sensor area. With a "beep", the door opened.

Lin Li let go of Zhang Ruonan, walked in first, rushed straight to the bed, and then threw himself on the bed.

Well, I feel comfortable.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruonan quickly closed the door and followed.

Looking at Lin Li who was breathing evenly on the bed, she didn't know what to do for a moment. She stood by the bed with her mind racing, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.

"Have you thought about it?"

Lin Li, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke, startling Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan looked at Lin Li in panic. At this moment, he was squinting his eyes and looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

"me"

Zhang Ruonan stuttered for a while, not knowing how to start.

Lin Li leaned on the bed with his right hand and looked at the girl in front of him with interest: "What is your choice? Tell me."

Zhang Ruonan stood in front of the bed in great embarrassment, feeling Lin Li's gaze. She didn't dare to look him in the face. She suddenly felt ashamed and just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

She really wanted to be famous, and even convinced herself in the club that it would be okay if the target was Lin Li.

But when the moment really came, feeling Lin Li's gaze as if he was treating her as an object, she still didn't want to hand herself over like that.

She wants to be famous, but she wants to be famous with dignity.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and stared at Lin Li with firm eyes: "I have made up my mind. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Lin, I will leave now. As for the role, if you are not satisfied with me, give it to someone else."

After saying that, he bowed to Lin Li, turned around and was about to walk out the door.

"Wait!"

Lin Li called out to Zhang Ruonan who was about to walk out, and stood up.

Zhang Ruonan turned around upon hearing the voice and looked at him with confusion on her face.

Lin Li stretched his neck, and a half-smile appeared in his deep eyes: "Congratulations, you finally kept your bottom line. We are of the same age, but I am luckier than you. If you really sell yourself out for a role today, I won't refuse, after all, I am a normal man. But we won't have the opportunity to work together again."

Zhang Ruonan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at the other party in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Lin Li raised his eyebrows casually, with a bit of ease in his eyes: "Now, we are friends. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lin Li. The role of Gu Senxiang is still yours. I will send you the script after I finish writing it."

"Ah, thank you, thank you. I, I will definitely try my best."

Zhang Ruonan bowed to Lin Li in ecstasy, and kept making promises.

Looking at the girl who finally relaxed in front of him, Lin Li rubbed his brows and said, "So, my friend, can you help me wet the towel with hot water? I want to wipe my face."

"Ah, okay, okay."

Zhang Ruonan hurriedly walked to the bathroom nearby, and soon took out a wet towel. Lin Li took the towel and wiped his face while looking at the girl standing obediently beside him.

"Thank you, I don't have anything to do here, you can go now."

"Ah, oh, okay."

"Why? Can't bear to leave?"

"No, it's not. I just wanted to say thank you for being so nice."

"???"

"Don't give me the nice guy card! I just think that although we are all in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, we still have to believe that we can achieve our goals with our own abilities even if we don't take shortcuts. Every circle has its own rules. We may not be able to break it, but we can work hard to make ourselves outstanding and not be bound by it."

“Even if you are at the bottom of the abyss, you must look up to the moonlight.”

“Even if you are at the bottom of the abyss, you must look up to the moonlight…Even if you are at the bottom of the abyss, you must look up to the moonlight…”

Zhang Ruonan repeated Lin Li's words over and over again, and she understood a little more.

After bowing to Lin Li again, she raised her head and said solemnly: "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Li waved his hand tiredly: "Okay, leave now if you're fine. Wear your mask and don't cause gossip before you become famous."

"Ok."

Zhang Ruonan responded obediently, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside, then slowed down her pace, gently closed the door and left.

After feeling Zhang Ruonan leaving, Lin Li opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.

God knows how much willpower he used to resist indulging himself.

In fact, he is not a saint. Just like he said to Zhang Ruonan, if she really wants, he doesn't mind being corrupt today.

But she held on to the bottom line, and Lin Li was still happy.

Having lived two lives and aged over fifty in total, he still felt a little bit sorry to see a girl in her twenties almost losing herself in the world of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry.

So he gave her a chance to make her own choice, and fortunately, she chose to take a step back.

He couldn't control what would happen to Zhang Ruonan in the future, but at least at this moment, he was very happy.

No wonder people say that men’s hobby is to force decent women into prostitution and persuade prostitutes to become good women. The ancients were right!

"Okay, I can sleep peacefully now. I feel dizzy and sleepy!"

He complained uncomfortably and reached out to turn off the control panel beside the bed, and the room fell into complete darkness.

the other side.

Sitting in the taxi on the way back, Zhang Ruonan stared blankly at the scenery receding outside the window, with a myriad of emotions in her mind.

She didn't expect that the gift she packed and delivered to the door would be returned by Lin Li.

I also didn't expect that in the entertainment industry, which is a big melting pot, there really are people like Lin Li who have upright values.

The saying that all crows are black did not seem to apply to him. He was like a beam of light, shining in her heart.

Zhang Ruonan now feels somewhat ashamed of her performance today, but at the same time she is somewhat fortunate that she finally held on to her bottom line and did not let Lin Li look down on her.

She decided that after she returned home today, starting from tomorrow, she would watch all of Lin Li’s works. From today on, Lin Li would be her idol!

Also, she needs to hone her acting skills with the company's acting teacher. Since Lin Li has given her the opportunity to perform this time, she must perform well and not let him down.

As Zhang Ruonan recalled what happened today, his face gradually turned red.

Lin Li's tall and straight figure, his sculpted facial features, and his confident and uninhibited smile kept flashing in her mind, making her feel a little dazed.

She had never thought that she would meet such a person in the entertainment industry. During the time she joined Guang Guang, including when she was a model, she had seen a lot of dirt under the spotlight.

During her time at Guang Guang, the company also taught her how to disguise herself, how to establish her own persona, and how to deal with seniors, big-name artists, and her fans.

She went from being curious to being confused, and then to being somewhat disgusted. This was quite different from the star-studded entertainment industry she had imagined.

"Even if you are at the bottom of the abyss, you still need to look up to the moonlight? Then you are my light."

Zhang Ruonan looked in the direction of the Linli Hotel and muttered to himself.

I guess many people think that the protagonist will be pushed directly?
