Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 452: Runaways, Ye Zi's New Understanding

"Stop surrounding me. Here comes the real boss."

When Chen Chao saw Lin Li and his group appear, he quickly raised his chin to signal.

Swish! ! !
Instantly, all eyes in the corridor turned to the group of people slowly approaching from the corner.

This group of people is mainly men, all of them dressed neatly in suits. The three women, including Gao Wen, are also dressed in neat professional suits, looking very capable.

Lin Li, who was in the lead, was dressed in pure white, except for a narrow black ribbon tied on the collar of his shirt, which contrasted with his pale skin tone.

As he walked, he occasionally exchanged a few words with Zhao Qian and others beside him, as if they were discussing something with great interest.

Chen Chao could clearly feel that Tian Xiwei and others beside him suddenly straightened their backs, like soldiers waiting for inspection, staring straight at Lin Li.

Tsk! The show is about to begin!

Chen Chao grinned, showing an expression of enjoying himself, and waited quietly for the arrival of Lin Li and his group.

Zhou Ye looked at Lin Li who was coming towards him and shouted in his heart, "Talk to me first, talk to me first..."

It was the first time that Zhang Jingyi saw Lin Li in this state. She stared at him with a curious look in her eyes, her sparkling eyes.

You're finally here. I wondered how long you were going to hide.

Chen Duling was angry in her heart, and she sighed imperceptibly as she looked at Lin Li who was slowly approaching her. There was a hint of helplessness on her cold little face.

She could naturally guess that Chen Chao's appearance here must have been Lin Li's idea.

You've gotten yourself into trouble with love affairs, and now you're scared?

A group of people had different thoughts and looked in the direction where Lin Li was coming from.

They were all a little curious, would Lin Li greet them first?
"Hello, Director Lin."

There was a rare unanimous greeting in the corridor. After all, at the audition, the main focus must be on the identity of the director.

"Everyone is here, adjust your state, it will start soon."

Lin Li stopped in front of Chen Duling and others, looked around at the auditioning actors in the corridor, nodded and smiled in response.

Then he glanced at the girls in front of him and gave them instructions.

His eyes did not linger on anyone, quite naturally.

"Okay Director Lin."

There was a chorus of responses.

Chen Duling and the others tried to hold back their laughter, while Tian Xiwei and the others pouted their lips in disappointment.

I believe that most men would like this kind of siege. All you see are pretty faces and different scents filling the air.

However, for Lin Li at this moment, this scene was a torture, and the gazes of several people were too burning.

"Well, come on."

Lin Li responded calmly, then walked past Reba and the others as they smiled at him and headed towards the audition room.

What? Why are you being so polite?

Zhou Ye pursed his lips unhappily, his eyes fixed on Lin Li's back.

Zhang Jingyi glanced around thoughtfully, taking in the expressions of Chen Duling and others. The more she looked, the more confused she became.

She found that Sister Duling and Reba, including Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi, did not look like they were here for an audition. They did not look nervous at all, and more like... they were there to watch the fun?

On the contrary, it was Xiaotian beside her who looked full of fighting spirit. Although Sister Ruonan didn't talk much, she looked very focused. As for Senior Sister Chacha...

The eyes seem to be glowing.

"Director Lin, I'm your fan. Whether or not I can pass the audition today, can you please sign an autograph for me?"

When they reached the door of the audition room, Song Zuer suddenly stepped forward and blocked Lin Li's way, with an expectant look in her eyes, like a little fangirl.

"No problem, good luck with your audition too."

Lin Li looked at the girl in front of him with a playful look and spoke in a gentle manner.

It's a pity for this girl. She had a good hand but played it badly.

But he is worthy of being a young actor, his acting skills are really good, and this fan look is very vivid.

And it's no wonder that she became famous just because she called out to me.

I really want to improve and I am full of drive.

"Thank you, Director Lin. I will definitely do my best."

After getting the response, Song Zuer smiled brightly and spoke to Lin Li in a coquettish voice.

"Ah."

Lin Li smiled at Song Zuer, then turned and walked into the audition room. Xu Fei and others followed him in, and the corridor soon became quiet.

Ju Jingyi and others behind Song Zuer glanced at her unkindly, as they did not expect her to be so bold in such an occasion.

Song Zuer ignored the many gazes and sat back in his seat with a normal expression.

Chen Duling and Reba smiled at each other, not taking what had just happened to heart at all, and continued biting their ears.

Li Yitong also pulled Meng Ziyi aside to talk about the latest fashion trends and was very engaged.

Zhang Ruonan just glanced and then looked away, joining in the lively conversation between Li Yitong and the others.

Tian Xiwei narrowed her eyes, took a deep look at Song Zuer, then moved her hands, with a series of crisp "cracking" sounds coming from between her knuckles.

Zhang Ruonan glanced at her palm, recalling the last time she pressed him to the ground, and gritted his teeth secretly.

This girl's grip is really strong!

Zhang Jingyi was also observing Tian Xiwei's movements. Today's Xiao Tian refreshed her perception. She had always thought that Xiao Tian was a soft and sweet girl, but now it seems...

She is worthy of being a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing!
Zhou Ye glanced at Song Zuer in annoyance, then glanced at the door of the audition room, feeling very unhappy.

She originally thought that Lin Li would at least talk to her alone after seeing her, but she didn't expect him to just say hello to them in a general way and then walk away.

He didn't seem anxious at all when talking to Song Zuer!

Zhou Ye didn't care what Lin Li said to Song Zuer. In her opinion, he just talked to Song Zuer alone, but didn't talk to her alone.

She has a temper!

hum!

"Xiao Ye, are you confident about the audition later?" Meng Ziyi saw Zhou Ye's whining face and knew that she was still angry about what happened just now, so he pulled her aside and asked.

"Of course! I will definitely be the heroine!"

Zhou Ye had a slightly proud look on his face, with his delicate chin slightly raised and a very confident look on his face.

"You're awesome, little one. Come on, I'll go explore the way for you first."

Meng Ziyi patted her shoulder and laughed.

"Um, I almost forgot that you also have to audition, Sister Meng. Sorry, sorry."

Zhou Ye then realized that the sisters beside him seemed to be auditioning for the female lead, and felt a little embarrassed about what he had just said.

"What's the big deal? I came to the audition just to play the leading role. I'm just telling the truth."

Meng Ziyi waved his hands, not caring at all about what she said.

"Sister Meng and Sister Tongtong, can I ask you a question?"

Zhou Ye raised his hand and stretched out a slender finger like a green onion, and asked with a smile.

"Tell me about it, eh."

Li Yitong thought she was very cute, especially the dimples on her cheeks, one deep and one shallow. She reached out and stroked the back of her head and spoke softly.

"Hehe~ It's like this, I noticed that Sister Tongtong and Sister Meng didn't seem to be very serious about the audition, aren't you worried?"

Feeling Li Yitong's intimate actions, Zhou Ye shrank his head and asked the question in his heart in a naive manner.

"Heh... Ye Zi, let me ask you a question first. How many of the people who auditioned today do you think are sure to get the role of Zhu Yun?"

Li Yitong did not directly answer Zhou Ye's question, but asked back with a smile.

"Well, I guess there's no absolute confidence."

Zhou Ye thought about it and responded hesitantly.

Even though she sounded cheerful, she actually felt a little uncertain about the people who came for the audition today.

Her greatest confidence comes from Lin Li. She feels that Lin Li will definitely be partial to her.

"Yes, in fact, no one is sure that they can get this heroine, but guess why there are so many people here?"

Li Yitong curved her crescent eyes and spoke to Zhou Ye in a gentle and persuasive manner.

"I...I can't guess, why, Sister Tongtong?"

Zhou Ye racked his brains but still could not come up with an idea, so he grabbed Li Yitong's hand and acted coquettishly.

Li Yitong smiled and held Zhou Ye's slender and soft hand.

"Yeah, the competition in the entertainment industry is very fierce. When selecting actors for some good projects, even though the actors have been confirmed, they still have to hold so-called actor auditions."

"We want news, and it also gives these actors who are destined to be eliminated a chance to gain attention from the outside world."

"There are a lot of little tricks involved."

"Even if it's just an audition, for an opportunity like this, many actors in the industry might try to undermine each other and compete for this audition opportunity."

“Actors from the same company may also compete with each other for a project like Ignite to be the actor who auditions on behalf of their company.”

“Except for those top actors, some first-line stars often have to do this and go to audition for some high-profile projects to put on a show.

"Yeah, this is the reality of the entertainment industry."

"You are very lucky to have met Director Lin, otherwise, when you were young, the role of the second female lead would have been fought over by other actresses in the industry."

Li Yitong's voice was not loud, but every word she spoke opened Zhou Ye's eyes to a new reality and cruelty of the entertainment industry.

Zhou Ye is not a naive person. She probably knows some of the things in the circle that are not pleasant to hear. After all, even if you haven’t eaten pork, you have seen pigs run.

But when it comes to specific things, she has indeed not experienced any injustice.

It should be said that since she met Lin Li, everything seemed to be going very smoothly.

After getting the role of Wei Lai, Lin Li posted a video on Weibo to promote it, which attracted a lot of attention. Everyone on the crew was also very friendly to her, and she felt as if everything was so harmonious.

Li Yitong's words just now made her realize the core of everything.

It’s Lin Li!
It’s all because of him that I am who I am today. It turns out that I have always been protected under his wings.

"So Sister Yitong, you and Sister Meng..."

After coming to his senses, Zhou Ye looked at Li Yitong timidly and tested him.

"Yes, it's just what you think. We are here to take advantage of the popularity."

"We still have some self-awareness. If we act with Director Lin at this age, we might get scolded."

Li Yitong smiled and followed Zhou Ye's thoughts.

After all, she couldn't say that she and Meng Meng were just here to watch the fun, right?

"Ah this... this... Sister Yitong, don't be sad. In fact, you are all quite young, and you are all very beautiful."

Zhou Ye tried hard to organize his words, and looked at Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi seriously as he comforted them.

"It's okay, thank you."

"Yes, thank you, Xiaoye."

Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi looked at each other and responded while trying hard to suppress the smile that was about to appear.

Meng Ziyi even hugged Zhou Ye into his arms, raised his hand to stroke her head, and said, "Oh, our little Ye is so good and cute..."

Zhou Ye's fair and tender face was also full of smiles. She allowed Meng Ziyi to show his closeness to her, with her eyes curved and smiling happily.

Their conversation also made Zhang Jingyi, who was standing beside them, absent-minded for a moment, with a slightly dazed expression.

Yes, without Lin Li, how could she become the heroine of Feng Quan...

"Teachers, please get ready. The audition will begin in five minutes."

At this time, a staff member walked out of the audition room and shouted loudly into the corridor.

Everyone was shocked.

It’s finally starting!
