Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 468 Hello Li Xun, I am Zhu Yun

The morning meeting ended with applause, and all the actors breathed a sigh of relief.

Nanxun Culture arranged for food delivery at noon, so the leading actors stayed in the lounge of Nanxun Culture to take a rest.

They also have to take makeup photos in the afternoon, so they will basically stay here the whole day.

At this moment, they are discussing the morning meeting enthusiastically.

"When I first met Director Lin in the morning, I was thinking that Director Lin must be a very easy person to talk to, but the next second Director Lin seemed like a completely different person. It was scary!"

Wan Peng, who was the same age as Lin Li, spoke first, patting her calm chest and sighing.

"I seconded the motion. Director Lin is too serious when he's working. It's a bit scary! But... he's so handsome!"

Mao Xiaohui raised her hand to cover half of her face and said with a silly look on her face.

"Hey~ So you are this kind of Xiaohui, but I am the same, hehe!"

Huang Cancan first looked at Mao Xiaohui with disgust, then covered her mouth and giggled.

"I knew it."

Mao Xiaohui had an expression that said, "I understand you."

"You girls are better off. I feel like we boys are in a worse situation. At least Director Lin should be more restrained towards girls."

He Yu walked forward and said with a worried look on his face.

"Before I came here, I specifically asked Mr. Hu Ge from our company about this. He said that Director Lin has a good personality, but today it seems that this is not the case."

"I thought about it again. It seems that he has never filmed with Director Lin before, so he probably doesn't know what Director Lin is like when he works. So I figured it out."

Lin Yi also walked forward and said with a bitter face.

"Well, you don't have to worry. Director Lin is usually very easy to talk to."

Zhang Jingyi felt that they had misunderstood Lin Li and couldn't help but speak up to defend him.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Everyone's eyes turned to her, with strange expressions in their eyes.

"What, what's wrong?"

Zhang Jingyi was stunned by their looks and asked in confusion.

"Jingyi! You are talking about Director Lin treating you."

"Don't you know that it's said in the industry that Director Lin is not sociable and very cold?"

"Although he always seems to be very easy to talk to when he attends some events, in fact, apart from those big shots, he basically doesn't have much contact with people in the circle and doesn't show up very often."

"So there are rumors in the industry that he is actually very proud and disdains to deal with actors and artists like us."

Mao Xiaohui looked at the door of the lounge, then leaned close to Zhang Jingyi and spoke stealthily.

"How could that be? Director Lin is a very kind person. It's just that he has fewer opportunities to participate in activities in the industry because he has to study and work on weekdays."

"He himself is willing to be an actor and film, how can he look down on actors?"

Zhang Jingyi didn't want anyone to slander Lin Li, so she raised her little face and defended herself very seriously.

"Hey, Jingyi, don't be so serious. These are just some rumors in the circle."

"That's all I said, and that's all you need to do."

Seeing this, Mao Xiaohui quickly explained.

"I have heard this before, but whether it is true or not, it is not surprising."

"After all, given Director Lin's status, it's not surprising that he looks down on entertainers like us in the entertainment industry."

"Don't forget that he is still a great writer. His status is there."

At this time Wan Peng also echoed.

“Is the gap between us actors and Director Lin really that big?”

Zhang Jingyi looked at Wan Peng with a somewhat empty feeling in her heart.

"Of course, there is a world of difference."

Wan Peng nodded in affirmation.

"Alright, alright, you all think too much. Aren't there enough rumors in the industry? You'll know after you've been together in the same crew for a long time. Don't think too much."

At this time, He Yu interrupted the girls' random thoughts and spoke straightforwardly.

Boys’ thinking is simpler, and they are not as sentimental and overthinking as girls.

"That's right, and we're still in Nanxun Culture. It's not appropriate for everyone to discuss this issue. Let's change the topic."

Huang Cancan clapped her hands and gestured to a few people.

So, the group of people changed the topic and started discussing the recently very popular God of Medicine.

Only Zhang Jingyi was still thinking about the topic they had just discussed, thinking about what Mao Xiaohui had just said.

Is there a huge difference between me and Lin Li?

Could it be that Oda and the others are flocking to him for this reason?
There was a hint of confusion on Zhang Jingyi's face, but based on her understanding of Lin Li, she felt that Lin Li was not that kind of person.

Just because Lin Li had helped her time and again and never used this as an excuse to ask anything of her, she believed in Lin Li's character.

She had indeed seen and guessed another side of Lin Li recently, but she still believed that Lin Li was a very good person.

Maybe Lin Li is not perfect in his personal emotions, but he is definitely not the kind of person who says one thing in public and another behind the scenes.

She firmly believes this.

Soon, lunch was served and the group of people had their lunch casually. After that, they did not discuss any more topics related to Lin Li.

They have realized that Zhang Jingyi cares a lot about their director Lin.

From this point of view, perhaps the previous yearning was not just a show effect.

Realizing this, who would dare to talk about Lin Li’s faults in front of Zhang Jingyi?

Besides, they also cherished the opportunity to film with Lin Li. What they said in the morning was nothing more than a sigh and gossip, not any prejudice against Lin Li.

Of course, they hoped that Lin Li was an easy-going person. If he was just strict at work, that would be even better. After lunch, the group moved to the temporary studio set up by the Film and Television Department. Each of them was taken over by the costume designer and stylist to prepare for the next makeup photo shoot.

When Zhang Jingyi came out after changing her clothes and putting on makeup, she looked up and saw Lin Li chatting with a man in his thirties with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Lin Li’s attire also made her eyes light up suddenly, and she felt like she had discovered a new world.

Lin Li was wearing a black windbreaker with a grey hooded sweater underneath and a pair of flat shoes. His hairstyle was unusually not as casual as usual and was meticulously groomed.

It seems to have been colored, showing a flax color under the light. The simple slightly parted and choppy hairstyle makes every strand of hair seem so fluffy and natural under the hands of the stylist.

Walking closer, Zhang Jingyi saw that Lin Li seemed to be managing his facial expression under the guidance of the man in front of him. His eyes were slightly narrowed, his chin was raised firmly, and the lines of his originally angular and handsome face appeared even sharper. There seemed to be broken ice in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were curved in a very shallow arc, revealing a hint of arrogance and playfulness.

A smell of cool and handsomeness came towards her, and Zhang Jingyi felt as if her heart suddenly slowed down and her steps stopped unconsciously.

"Jingyi is done packing, right? This outfit looks great, very beautiful."

At this time, Lin Li also noticed Zhang Jingyi's arrival. He turned around, looked her up and down, and praised her in a warm voice.

It was almost the same look as he remembered, and his repeated instructions to the stylist were worth it.

Her medium-length black hair was softly draped over her shoulders, and a pair of clear and bright eyes seemed to be twinkling on her fair face. Her lips, painted with lip gloss, looked delicate and tempting under the light, with a unique kind of attraction.

Especially that little face, which always seems to have a hint of stubbornness.

She wore a light green knitted long skirt underneath, which was completely covered by the loose khaki work windbreaker she was wearing, and only a corner of it could be seen occasionally when she moved.

Two white calves are revealed at the hem of the windbreaker, and further down are black boots. The neat outfit makes the whole figure look tall and slender.

A girly face and a calm heart can belong to the same girl.

This is the feeling that Zhang Jingyi in front of him brings to Lin Li. She is like an ignorant girl walking out of the campus, and even more like the white moonlight in the painful literature of youth.

"Thank you."

Zhang Jingyi responded softly to Lin Li's gaze, then lowered her head, and her ears quickly turned a light pink.

"Jingyi, this is Mr. Liu Zongyuan. He will be taking our makeup photos today."

Lin Li looked at the shy Zhang Jingyi and smiled silently. He stopped teasing her and raised his hand to introduce the man next to her.

"I don't dare ask Director Lin to call me teacher. Director Lin can just call me Zong Yuan, or Lao Liu is also fine."

Liu Zongyuan put his hands together and bowed to Lin Li with a very humble attitude.

"Hello, Mr. Liu. I have long heard of your name. I am sorry to trouble you this afternoon."

Zhang Jingyi was startled and raised her head to greet Liu Zongyuan politely.

This is no ordinary photographer.

Even though she had never seen him, she had heard of his name.

Yanagi Sohara is a well-known fashion photographer. He dropped out of college to pursue photography. In his early days, he took makeup photos with a "heavy-toned" style. Later, he took photos of "pure power" which attracted a lot of attention.

He has been working with domestic first-line artists for a long time and is good at showing the latest side of the artists in different ways.

She is good at shooting fashion blockbusters with unique light and creative perspectives. She has been shooting covers for magazines such as BAZAAR, COSMO, L'OFFICIEL, FIGARO, Marie Claire, SELF, Bazaar Jewelry, Red Show, and Rayli Fashion for a long time.

Zhang Jingyi didn't expect that Lin Li would ask this person to come over for their makeup photos.

Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste of talent?
"You're welcome, Miss Zhang. It's my pleasure."

Liu Zongyuan smiled slightly and responded politely.

At the same time, he began to look up and down Zhang Jingyi's figure and appearance, and began to think about the makeup photos that would be taken later.

"Then I'll trouble Teacher Liu."

Zhang Jingyi knew that he was looking at her, and also knew that she was just an "object" in the eyes of this kind of photographer, so she ignored him and secretly glanced at Lin Li who was standing next to her.

This kind of Korean drama male protagonist outfit seemed to be brought to the extreme on Lin Li, especially with his height of 185 cm, I had to look up to see him clearly.

Well, a little tired.

"What's wrong, princess? If you want to see it, why don't you just look openly?"

Lin Li looked at her stealthy movements with amusement, and suddenly spoke.

"You...what did you call me?"

Zhang Jingyi raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes, stammering.

"Princess, we will definitely have some interactive scenes when we take the final photos later, so get the feel for it in advance."

Lin Li raised the corner of his lips and stared at her panicked little face wantonly, saying it as a matter of course.

"Oh, too."

Zhang Jingyi nodded with a look of realization, then suddenly became quiet and lowered her head slightly.

Ok?
Are you so unfunny?

Lin Li didn't expect that he was just teasing this girl and she couldn't stand it.

"Li Xun."

After a moment of silence, a sudden voice sounded, and Lin Li looked up at Zhang Jingyi in front of him in surprise.

She put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, tilted her head and grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, as if she was smiling with two parentheses, as bright as the sunshine in April.

Lin Li stared blankly at the pretty smiling face in front of him, his heart pounding, as if he was hit instantly.

He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, someone commented that the girl in front of him was the most beautiful actress when she smiled with her mouth open. Now he felt...

Um! That's right!

"Let me introduce myself to you again. I am Li Xun."

After calming himself down, Lin Li extended his hand to Zhang Jingyi.

"Hello Li Xun, I'm Zhu Yun."

Zhang Jingyi met Lin Li's gaze and looked into his eyes, then put her little hand into his palm.

The corners of their lips were raised synchronously at this moment.
