Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 513 The inevitable tit-for-tat

Zhou Ye’s outfit today is very eye-catching.

She wore a pink new Chinese style halter neck top. The halter neck design gave her overall look a touch of retro charm while also highlighting her neck line.

The bottom is matched with a pair of wide-leg overalls, which well modify her leg lines. At the same time, the pocket design of the overalls also adds a sense of toughness to the overall look.

This combination has both the charm of oriental aesthetics and the atmosphere of urban modernity.

She wore a half-tied low ponytail hanging behind her head, and the braided pigtails on both sides added a bit of agility to her and brought out her sweetness to the extreme.

On the small face as big as a palm, the iconic facial features are matched with exquisite makeup, and above the pair of almond-shaped eyes that seem to be filled with water is a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows.

She also has a tall and delicate nose, small and exquisite lips, and a delicate chin, which make up her perfect face.

She was extremely beautiful, but her complexion was not very good at the moment.

"I see, Jingyi, you kiss very well. I'm curious, do you have a lot of experience before?"

"It doesn't look like the first time."

"Jingyi is so pretty, there should be a lot of people chasing after her, right?"

Zhou Ye showed curiosity on his face and asked Zhang Jingyi with a forced smile.

"Senior, you're joking. I'm not very smart. When I was in school, I focused on studying. I didn't have the energy to think about anything else."

"It sounds like you are quite experienced. Yes, you are so pretty and must have been a big shot in school."

"I can't compare with my senior sister, so I'd like to trouble Director Lin to take me to experience it in advance."

"Fortunately, Director Lin taught well."

Zhang Jingyi looked at Lin Li standing beside her with gratitude.

Lin Li, who was named, shuddered at Zhou Ye's cold gaze and nodded stiffly.

"Jingyi doesn't have much experience, and I was afraid she would be nervous during the shoot, so I took her to get a feel for it in advance."

Lin Li's voice was no longer as calm as before, and he explained stiffly.

Don’t these two girls know what’s going on with him?
Why are you still so confrontational?!

"I see. So it was outside the set?"

Zhou Ye glanced at Lin Li with a razor-like gaze.

"That kind of thing definitely wouldn't happen on a set."

At this point, Lin Li was no longer afraid of boiling water and told the truth.

"Tsk... Director Lin is really dedicated to his duties, not only on the set, but also outside the set. He is really dedicated enough!"

Zhou Ye smacked his lips and sighed.

Especially on the word "carefully", I emphasized it with extra force.

"Heh...it's okay, it's okay."

"Well, what's that? Let me introduce you to the other leading actors in the crew. And you haven't seen Director Shang for a long time, so go say hello."

Seeing that many people had noticed Zhou Ye's arrival, Lin Li quickly took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Okay, Director Lin, I'll go right away."

Zhou Ye smiled, with a pleasing look.

But the moment she turned and walked towards Shang Wei, Lin Li clearly saw the cold light in her eyes!

I feel like I'm having a bad day today!

Lin Li muttered to himself, and when he turned around, he was met with a pair of clear eyes full of deep meaning.

"Princess, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Li's heart tightened, but he spoke with a normal expression.

"Nothing, I just saw that Director Lin seemed to be sweating a little, so I wanted to ask if you wanted to wipe it off."

Zhang Jingyi smiled faintly and raised her eyes.

"Ah? Is there any?"

Lin Li subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his forehead, thinking that he wouldn't be so scared that he would sweat.

He touched it and found nothing. Lin Li looked at Zhang Jingyi in confusion.

"Oh, I accidentally misread it, sorry."

Zhang Jingyi has two dimples on her lips, making her look cunning and playful.

Then, without waiting for Lin Li's answer, his smile suddenly disappeared and he turned around and walked away.

Lin Li stared at Zhang Jingyi's back in a daze for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh when he came to his senses.

These two girls have worse tempers than each other.

He glanced around and saw Ye Zi greeting Shang Wei, several other assistant directors of the crew, and the heads of each group one by one, with a sweet smile on his face. He was completely different from when he faced him.

Looking at the princess again, I don't know what she was chatting about with Mao Xiaohui and the others. She turned her head from time to time to look in the direction of Ye Zi.

It’s a bit big!
Lin Li sighed imperceptibly.

Then, as if returning to her mother's home, Zhou Ye greeted all the crew members and then smiled towards Mao Xiaohui and others. The two sides had a seemingly very friendly exchange.

In fact, they are also very curious about Zhou Ye. You know, "Youth" is currently in theaters, and judging from the current momentum, it is likely to surpass the box office of "The Lost Lovers".

In this case, Zhou Ye is equivalent to the second female lead in a movie with a box office of over 2.6 billion!
This is so valuable!

And judging from the current public opinion situation, although Wei Lai, played by Zhou Ye, has been severely criticized, the attention she receives is also very high.

With attention, a considerable number of people will always be converted into fans.

From the current perspective, the biggest beneficiary of this movie is not the male and female protagonists, but Zhou Ye in front of us.

After meeting Zhou Ye today, they discovered a problem. This Zhou Ye actually looks somewhat similar to Jingyi!

Although I have seen related arguments on the Internet before, I only had a direct feeling when I actually saw the real person.

It does.

But it's a little different.

Zhou Ye's appearance is the kind of beauty that is very impactful at first sight, with delicate facial features and no flaws to be found.

Zhang Jingyi’s beauty is the kind that may not be stunning at first glance, but becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at her.

Zhou Ye’s beauty is sharper and straightforward, and very aggressive when she doesn’t smile.

In comparison, Zhang Jingyi gives people a softer feeling, and when she smiles, she has a cute and innocent feeling that is easy to get along with.

In short, beauty is not the same.

When Zhou Ye greeted Lin Yi, Lin Li's mind suddenly flashed with a scene from a play in which Zhou Ye and Lin Yi had worked together in his previous life, and his face suddenly turned dark.

"Lin Yi, why are you grinning so hard? Your acting was so stiff in those scenes this morning, and your lines were so weak. You still have time to be happy here, so hurry up and practice your pronunciation of the lines."

Lin Li suddenly shouted at Lin Yi.

"Ah! Okay Director Lin, I'll go right away!"

Lin Yi responded with a confused look on his face, then quickly left the room with the script. Mao Xiaohui and the others beside him looked at Lin Li in confusion, thinking it was a bit strange that he suddenly criticized Lin Yi.

You know, during daily filming, Lin Li had a very high opinion of Lin Yi and He Yu. What was happening today?
Only Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi sensed Lin Li's thoughts and couldn't help but look at him with amusement.

Is this person jealous?

I've never seen him be so stingy before! ?

"Okay, don't gather together. If you have nothing to do, just rest aside. We will have dinner together tonight."

"I'll be in charge of the camera this afternoon. Director Shang is usually too soft on you. Today I'll help you correct your mistakes."

When acting, you have to act it out fully. Under the stunned gazes of the leading actors, Lin Li walked to the monitor, replaced Shang Wei, who had a confused expression, and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"All crew members, get ready. Filming will begin in three minutes."

"We'll start shooting from scene 920."

Lin Li glanced at the shooting plan, and his voice echoed throughout the set through the intercom.

"Yes!"

There was a uniform response from the audience.

Zhou Ye was both amused and delighted. He glanced at Lin Li behind the monitor with a reproachful look, then obediently walked behind him and found a small stool to sit down on.

On the set, of course, everything revolves around him.

After a while, the filming continued.

A successful director must first be able to communicate. He must clearly communicate his vision and character status to the actors and other crew members to achieve the best picture effect.

Whether it is tyrannical communication or motherly communication, as a director you have to convey the ideas in your mind completely.

Otherwise, no matter how many details in life the director can grasp and how many ideas he has, if he cannot communicate with others and convey the ideas in his mind, those ideas will only remain in his head.

Therefore, as a director, communication skills, action ability, execution ability, and imaginative ideas are all indispensable.

Lin Li possesses all of these.

When he enters the shooting state, everyone on the set, from the actors to the staff, will follow his instructions unconditionally.

Zhou Ye really likes watching Lin Li at work, just like when they were filming Boy, even if she didn’t have a part that day, she would stay on the set and watch Lin Li filming.

She liked to see Lin Li's calm and measured command.

Just like now, even though she was very angry about what she had seen before, it did not stop her from being infatuated with Lin Li's figure.

Because... it's really charming!
The efficiency of the Ignite crew was already very high, and under Lin Li's leadership, today's efficiency was much higher than usual.

It was almost six o'clock. As Lin Li shouted through the intercom, "Cut, this one's passed, we're done," applause immediately broke out on the set.

After Lin Yi and Mao Xiaohui in front of the camera bowed to Lin Li and the surrounding staff to express their gratitude, today's filming was announced to be over.

"Hey, how about Cantonese food tonight?"

After checking the last shot, Lin Li turned to Zhou Ye behind him and asked for his opinion.

"I'm fine with it. I'll listen to Director Lin."

Zhou Ye responded crisply, his eyes curved.

Then she realized that she was still angry, and immediately put away her smile, returning to a stern look.

"Ah……"

"Okay, let's have Cantonese food then."

Lin Li couldn't help but smile at her cute reaction, and after a chuckle, he confirmed the arrangements for the evening.

"Humph!"

Zhou Ye snorted unhappily, stood up and walked out.

This bad guy will bully her!

"Director Lin, we have packed up."

At this time, Zhang Jingyi, Wan Peng and others also came forward to meet Lin Li.

"Okay, let's go. Meet at the parking lot. The location will be sent to our group later."

"Ok."

Following a chorus of responses, Lin Li stood up and walked towards the parking lot with them.

When he arrived at the parking lot, Lin Li spotted Zhou Ye's tall figure next to his car.

Sure enough, it came anyway!

Lin Li glanced at Zhang Jingyi beside him and sighed inwardly.

"Get in the car, yeah."

When they reached the car door, Lin Li whispered to Zhou Ye who was standing beside him with his hands behind his back.

"Ah."

When Zhou Ye saw Lin Li open the car door, he glanced at Zhang Jingyi beside him with a proud look and got in first.

"Jingyi, you can get in the car too."

Lin Li looked at Zhang Jingyi who was standing beside him.

"You go first, I'll sit next to you."

Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly and gestured to Lin Li with a playful look.

really!

Lin Li touched his nose and got into the car under her gaze.

Seeing Lin Li get into the car, Zhang Jingyi followed him in.

As the car door closed, the three of them entered a relatively closed space.

Zhou Ye sat on Lin Li's left, and Zhang Jingyi sat on Lin Li's right.

"Brother Leopard, let's go."

"Yes."

Lin Li remained calm and spoke to Wang Bao. After receiving his response, the vehicle started slowly.

At this moment, two different faint scents lingered in his nostrils, but he had no distracting thoughts at all.

He just wanted to get to the hotel safely.

However, things were bound to go against one's wishes.

"No~"

Zhou Ye yawned, then naturally took Lin Li's arm and leaned his head on his shoulder.

Lin Li's body suddenly tensed up!
Zhang Jingyi turned her head to look at Zhou Ye, then moved her gaze upwards, with a slight curve at the corner of her lips.

Lin Li’s right eyelid started twitching wildly!
