Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 48 Magnolia

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li smiled lightly, not taking the favor he had just done seriously.

First of all, Mr. He’s character and connections are worthy of his investment.

Secondly, Hou Minghao is not very familiar with the two actors introduced by Teacher He, but he personally likes Peng Yuchang very much, which is very interesting.

Both of them have good images. Peng Peng hadn't gained weight during this period, so there was no problem for him to act in youth films.

In the next few days, Lin Li's daily life was to go to school, and then accompany Chen Duling to eat, go shopping, and laugh. It was only on the sixth day that Chen Duling returned to Ludao because of repeated calls from home urging her.

I forgot to mention that Chen Duling did not sign with any company, but her family set up a company to serve her specifically.

It can be considered a small family workshop, but because of its poor public relations performance, it was cyber-bullied by its rivals several times in the past life.

It was only after Chen Duling left that Lin Li finally freed up some time. His life thereafter became one of attending classes during the day and writing the "tragic" script in his free time. It was busy and fulfilling.

It is mid-June and the weather has started to get hot.

On June 16th, Lin Li, Gao Wen and Wang Bao arrived in the Magic City.

Gao Wen had previously agreed to be the award presenter for the Magnolia Awards, so she arranged her schedule early on.

He changed into the clothes prepared by Gao Wen in the hotel. The black suit, which was custom-made at Dingtai in Beijing, made his already tall figure look even straighter.

He has a good figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he is a natural clothes hanger. This well-tailored suit perfectly outlines his body lines.

Gao Wen, who was standing nearby, also nodded frequently and praised her own vision.

The hairstyle is just a simple wash and blow-dry of the short and messy hair. A really handsome guy doesn’t need to pay special attention to this.

After everything was ready, the three of them got into the business car that Gao Wen had rented in advance and drove to the venue of the Magnolia Awards, the Shanghai Art Center.

The Magnolia Awards ceremony was live-broadcasted by Shanghai Art Channel, Penguin, Kiwi, Pants and other platforms, so before it even started, online drama fans and fans of various celebrity artists were already waiting in front of the screen for it to begin.

Currently the most discussed topic online is whether the Best TV Drama Award should be "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", "In the Name of the People" or "Ode to Joy"?
There are quite a lot to watch when these two hit dramas compete on the same stage.

The most controversial category is Best Supporting Actress, among which Yang Zi, Wang Ziwen, Jiang Xin, Guan Xiaotong and others are all popular candidates.

Because there was a signing and photo session, even though it was indoors, the outdoor area was already surrounded by fans in three layers.

When Lin Li and his friends arrived, they felt helpless when they saw the huge crowds of people outside. Fortunately, they came to participate in the event today and did not leak any news in advance.

The organizers laid a spacious red carpet at the arrival point for the guests' vehicles, and then security personnel kept the crowds on both sides of the red carpet outside the cordon to prevent any accidents.

At this time, arriving in front of Lin Li and the others was the crew of Legend of Yun Xi who came to promote the new drama.

The participants of the Magnolia Awards include award-winning crews, award presenters like Lin Li, and crews like the Legend of Yun Xi who are promoting new dramas.

At this time, the three leading actors of the crew were constantly greeting the fans around them. Although most of the cheers were from fans of the female lead Ju Jingyi, it did not prevent the other two male leads from waving and interacting with other fans.

Online, the live broadcast rooms on various platforms were filled with fans of several people who kept posting comments praising them.

"Xiaoju is so beautiful!"

"Honey, I'm coming!"

"Zhang Zhehan, I'm here to see you"

“Mire come on”

Zhang Zhehan looked at the enthusiastic reactions from the crowd. As a newcomer in the entertainment industry, he felt an excited sense of satisfaction. He had even begun to imagine the scene where his drama would be sought after by thousands of people after its success.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Nanxun, great master!"

……

Zhang Zhehan, who was immersed in his fantasy, was suddenly awakened by a cheer that was dozens of times louder than the cheers around them.

Following the sound, he saw that the crowd that had originally surrounded them were all rushing to the back. Following the center of the crowd, he saw the person the crowd was shouting at.

It was a figure that could not be ignored, tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, wearing a black suit, with perfect proportions.

His face, with its outstanding three-dimensional features, looked relaxed, and he nodded to the cheering crowd from time to time.

He walked slowly with his hands in his pockets. It didn't look like he was walking on the red carpet, but rather like he was taking a stroll in the park, with a calm and relaxed demeanor.

"Who is riding this horse?"

Zhang Zhehan felt unhappy and his expression turned visibly colder.

He thought the man looked familiar from a distance, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment and thought he was some young handsome guy who had just emerged.

But at this moment the online live broadcast was in an uproar!
"I am not seeing things, this is Nanyang University!"

"Ahhh, my husband is so handsome!" "He wears a suit from Nanjing University, I love him!"

"How come there is no news about NTU participating in the Magnolia Awards? I envy the sisters who are there and can get so close to NTU!"

"With NanDa's figure, it would be a shame if she didn't become a model! Lick the screen!"

"I can't even imagine how awesome it would be to have a boyfriend like Nan Da!"

……

Not to mention the excitement online, the situation offline is already out of control.

The moment Lin Li got off the car, the surroundings were quiet at first, and then everyone started screaming and rushed into the cordon. Several security guards were pushed down by the surging crowd.

Seeing this, Lin Li did not dare to stay for long and began to quicken his pace as he walked through the area.

He did not stop when passing by the crew of Legend of Yun Xi. He just nodded and continued on his way, leaving behind a few leading actors who were still a little dazed.

"It turns out to be him!"

Zhang Zhehan gritted his teeth when he saw Lin Li's back.

He was too jealous. The contrast between the enthusiastic popularity Lin Li received and his own situation hurt him deeply. He was envious and jealous and wanted to replace him!
Especially when he saw their heroine Ju Jingyi staring at Lin Li's back like a fangirl, his jealousy reached its peak.

Why! Isn't it just that he can write a few crappy novels and got lucky enough to star in a TV series?
At this time, the crew members waiting in the indoor media signing area were also a little puzzled. They could hear the sudden cheers coming from outside. How many people would have to shout so loudly to make such a big noise?

Unable to figure out what was going on, everyone in the crew was in a complete bewilderment.

Ode to Joy crew.

Yang Zi asked curiously: "What's going on? Aren't the two most popular crews here today? Which other crew can make such a big fuss?"

Jiang Xin at the side continued: "Even if these two crews showed up at the same time, there wouldn't be such a big commotion, right?"

Wang Ziwen also nodded in agreement: "I remember that it should be the crew of Legend of Yun Xi outside, but it's unlikely that they are here."

There were many people who had similar ideas as them, and none of them could figure out what was going on.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the waiting area, and several crew members nearby bowed and greeted a tall and straight figure.

"what's the situation?"

The attention of everyone present was drawn to it, and they didn't know what was going on.

Wherever this figure passed, it was like a group of ministers paying homage. Except for a few well-known directors who nodded to each other, everyone else bent over and bowed their heads to greet them respectfully.

Yang Zi was so curious that he could hardly hold back his curiosity: "Which company's boss is coming?"

It was not until the figure passed through the crew and came close to them that she finally saw the person's face clearly.

Her first reaction was that it looked familiar.

The second reaction was to look around with eyes wide open. Several actors were equally surprised and stammered: "Nanjing University, it's Nanjing University! No wonder, no wonder!"

"Hello, Director Lin!"

When Lin Li came closer and stood still, the crew members of Ode to Joy all bowed and greeted him like they did with other crews.

Only Director Kong Sheng smiled and nodded: "Hello Director Lin, I have heard of you for a long time, and I finally meet you today."

After Lin Li stood still, he smiled and nodded to the crew members of Ode to Joy, then turned to Kong Sheng:
"I have admired Director Kong for a long time. I didn't expect to meet him here today. It's worth the trip."

"Director Lin, you are so kind. When I was filming The Disguiser, I wanted to meet you, the original author, and hoped you could give me some guidance. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet you."

"I was busy preparing for the college entrance exam at the time and couldn't spare the time. I hope Director Kong will forgive me."

"Haha, I almost forgot how old Director Lin is. It's really amazing, young geniuses are just like this."

……

At this time, the crew of Legend of Yun Xi also entered the waiting area, and then they saw a magical scene, all the crews gathered in the same direction.

There, the famous director Kong Sheng of Noon Sunshine was chatting enthusiastically with a young man in a black suit, while the others were waiting on the side with smiles on their faces, not daring to disturb them in the slightest.

"It's him again!"

Looking at this scene, Zhang Zhehan's expression became gloomy again.
