Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 528: Mango's intention, Ruth's slap

A little after ten o'clock the next morning, Lin Li woke up slowly.

Feeling his breathing was a little difficult, Lin Li looked up and saw Zhao Lusi sleeping soundly on top of him. Her breathing was even and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned.

"Heh~"

With a soft chuckle, Lin Li wrapped his arms around her body and placed her next to him.

This girl was really tortured by him yesterday, but he let her go because he saw that she was really overwhelmed.

Although Ruth's face is a little chubby, her figure is very good, with curves in all the right places. Compared to Ye Zi...

Ok?
Why did you think of Ye Zi again?

Lin Li discovered the problem and immediately stopped thinking about it.

The belt is not without any advantages. At least it does not cause any burden when hanging on the body.

As Lin Li thought about it, he walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and then walked out refreshed, wrapped in a bath towel.

After taking a look at the clothes in the room that were completely unwearable, Lin Li found his cell phone and called Gao Wen to ask her to send him some clothes.

After finishing the call and seeing that Zhao Lusi was still sleeping, Lin Li checked the messages on his phone.

Zhang Yang said that the fine cutting of the burning machine was halfway completed, and asked him to go to the company to take a look when he had time.

Chen Chao said that the location for the new headquarters has been selected and the construction company has been confirmed, and construction is expected to begin next week.

Xu Fei told Zhou Shengru that the filming had already started in Hengdian. He actually knew this news a long time ago because Bai Lu had sent him a message.

Another piece of news is that Cai Huaijun of Mango wants to meet him. He is already in Beijing and went to the company to meet Xu Fei to have a brief chat.

According to Xu Fei, Mango TV is interested in cooperating with them on a new drama. As long as it is an adaptation of his work, they are willing to provide funding and Nanxun Culture will be responsible for the filming and production.

From the sound of it, you're planning to come to him for customization?
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Li figured out the problem.

Mangoes have experienced great ups and downs recently.

The intimacy in July made Shonan TV and Modou TV the center of attention, with their phenomenal ratings standing out among all other TV stations.

Although Mango TV did not obtain the online copyright, they are essentially one with Shonan TV. They are naturally happy that the ratings of their show are high.

But their happiness did not last long. In mid-August, the annual drama "The Rise of Phoenixes", which they had high hopes for, flopped!
And it was a huge fall, so big that it was outrageous!

The drama "The Rise of Phoenixes" ranked first on Huace Film & TV's revenue list in 18, which means that the rumor that Shonan TV spent 6 million to purchase this drama is basically confirmed.

It was first revealed that the two main actors in the drama, Ni Ni and Chen Kun, received pay of 9800 million and 6900 million respectively. Both of them are movie stars who switched from the big screen to the small screen, so although the actors' pay is high, no one feels that it is not worth it.

On the contrary, Shonan TV took the initiative and purchased the broadcasting rights of the drama at a sky-high price of 6 million yuan and put it in its most proud Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater, which attracted attention.

However, the embarrassing thing is that the ratings of "The Rise of Phoenixes" have repeatedly hit new lows since its premiere on August 8, making Shonan TV a laughing stock in the industry.

The premiere started off dismally with only 0.559%. Not only did the ratings get bad, but the online broadcast volume of "The Rise of Phoenixes" was also far less than that of other costume dramas in the same period. In the end, Xiangnan Satellite TV cut more than a dozen episodes and forcibly moved the finale forward by more than ten days.

Of course, there are even worse ones. The Wudong Qiankun of the same period was so obscure that it was not even worthy of having its name on the homepage of Weibo.

Although Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is still a hot topic, the complaints are also fierce. Currently, the most talked-about thing is Xun Ge'er's face and makeup.

With poor ratings, it will naturally be difficult to attract advertising from sponsors. As a result, Tiansheng Changge will not be able to recoup the 6 million yuan it spent on purchasing the drama, and Shonan TV's losses will be difficult to offset.

Netizens are joking that this drama is a shame for Mango TV. The official Weibo accounts of Xiangnan TV and Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater have both unfollowed and blocked the production team of The Rise of Phoenixes.

Of course, not all dramas are bad. In August, Yang Zi achieved her ascension through "Ashes of Love" and became the most popular female artist in the whole month.

Netizens jokingly said, July is Zhang Ruonan, August is Yang Zi, and September is Ni Ni, of course this Ni Ni has to be put in double quotation marks.

The Rise of Phoenixes ended on September 9, which was the day before he attended the freshman ceremony at the Central Academy of Drama.

Just talking about Mango Video, the first half of the year was quite precarious.

Sweet Combat ended silently, the new Meteor Garden attracted countless ridicules, and the ratings of The Rise of Phoenixes hit rock bottom.

Mango Video’s most popular brainless youth romance dramas and high-profile costume dramas failed at the same time.

Even with the inclusion of Shonan TV, only Qinling helped them to recover in the first half of the year. When Cai Huaijun came to them at this time, the result was self-evident.

But it’s better this way, it makes it easier for him to make an offer.

"Um~ Brother Ali, are you up already?"

At this time, Zhao Lusi woke up on the bed, rubbed her eyes, stood up and spoke.

"Well, you're awake. Get up and pack up. We'll have lunch together at noon, and then you go to the crew. I have to rush back to Beijing. I have some things to deal with there."

Lin Li walked to the bed, raised his hand, pinched her chubby face and chuckled.

"Is that so? Well then, you turn around first, and I'll get up and take a shower."

Zhao Lusi tightened the quilt around her body and said shyly.

"Hmm? Is this necessary?"

Lin Li smiled.

It seems that all these girls are like this, even though they have done the most intimate things, they act very shy afterwards.

"Hey, turn around."

Zhao Lusi pouted and acted coquettishly.

"Alright alright."

Lin Li didn't want to waste time, so he turned around and said.

Seeing this, the naked Zhao Lusi quickly lifted the quilt, quickly selected clothes from her closet and slipped into the bathroom.

After hearing the noise, Lin Li turned around and thought about it and still found it funny.

After waiting for a while, Gao Wen brought the clothes. After Lin Li changed his clothes, Zhao Lusi also took a shower and changed her clothes. Then they went out together and found a local specialty restaurant nearby to have lunch.

When we finished and arrived at the parking lot, Zhao Lusi's nanny car had already arrived.

"Ruth, I'm leaving now. You have to listen to Director Lin and perform well in the crew."

Lin Li and Zhao Lusi hugged each other gently, separated immediately, then he looked down at her and gave her instructions.

Now they were not disguising themselves, so it was fine if they just hugged each other goodbye, but if they did more, it would be inappropriate if they were photographed.

"Well, I will definitely do it."

"I will still think of you often."

Zhao Lusi stared at Lin Lidao reluctantly.

"You can send me a message or call me if you want."

Lin Li smiled at her with curved eyebrows.

"May I?"

Zhao Lusi, who hadn't sent a message to Lin Li for a long time, confirmed with him again.

Even after this night, she still felt a little uneasy.

"of course."

Lin Li said in a firm tone.

"okay!"

Zhao Ruth nodded heavily, and a sweet smile bloomed on her collagen-filled face. "Well, our Ruth still smiles sweetly, so smile more."

"Then I'll get in the car first, it's almost time."

Lin Li was infected by her smile and praised her with curved eyebrows.

Then, when he saw Gao Wen raising her hand to remind him, he said goodbye to her.

"Well, goodbye, Brother Ali."

"Goodbye."

After they smiled at each other, Lin Li got into the back seat, while Zhao Lusi stood there and kept waving at him.

Seeing this, Lin Li also waved to her, and only put down his hand when the car started to move away.

Through the rearview mirror, he could see Zhao Lusi still standing there facing this side.

The girl is a good girl, but she is easily impulsive. I hope she can improve after this time.

Lin Li withdrew his gaze and leaned back in the back seat, thinking silently.

"Sister, we should set off."

Zhao Lusi's assistant walked over to Zhao Lusi, who was still looking around, and reminded her in a low voice.

"Before I arrived yesterday, did Wang Zhixuan want to sit in my seat?"

Zhao Lusi didn't move at all, but suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Huh? Oh, yes."

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that she usually gets along with you like a good sister on the crew, but she did such a thing when you were not around!"

The assistant said indignantly after he realized what was happening.

"Heh... let's go to the crew."

Zhao Lusi sneered and walked towards the nanny car.

Seeing this, the young assistant hurriedly followed.

-

The Starry Night crew.

In the lounge, Wang Zhixuan was chatting with Xuan Lu, describing the tragic situation of yesterday.

Yesterday, not only the male actors, but they also toasted Lin Li with a lot of wine. Wang Zhixuan was already resentful, so naturally she worked even harder.

But no one expected that Lin Li’s alcohol tolerance was extremely high and he knocked down most of the people.

This was much higher than the alcohol tolerance she remembered Lin Li to have, which was really strange.

Can your drinking capacity increase so quickly?

Xuan Lu's alcohol tolerance was average to begin with. He passed out after two glasses of wine yesterday and couldn't remember what happened afterwards, so he was basically just listening to Wang Zhixuan talking.

"Hey, Zhixuan, speaking of which, have Teacher Nanxun and Ruth reconciled?"

Xuan Lu couldn't help but gossip to Wang Zhixuan.

"Maybe."

When Wang Zhixuan mentioned this, she immediately thought of the embarrassing scene of yesterday and said with an unnatural expression.

"Speaking of this, Zhixuan, you were too impulsive yesterday."

Xuan Lu frowned as he looked at Wang Zhixuan in front of him.

"I just……"

"You're just what? You're just too eager to get to the top, right?"

Before Wang Zhixuan could finish her answer, she was interrupted by Zhao Lusi who broke into the lounge.

"Ruth, you're here. This...may be some misunderstanding."

When he saw Zhao Lusi, Xuan Lu immediately realized that the situation was not good and prepared to act as a peacemaker.

"Sister Xuan Lu, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first. I want to talk to her alone."

Zhao Lusi looked at her and ordered her to leave.

"Well... okay, then you guys chat."

It was the first time that Xuan Lu saw Zhao Lusi so strong. Thinking of Lin Li's attitude towards her yesterday, she compromised decisively.

She glanced at Wang Zhixuan, who had an unpleasant look on her face, turned around, walked past Zhao Lusi, and walked out, closing the door behind her.

"What do you want to say?"

At this point, Wang Zhixuan was too lazy to pretend anymore and asked directly.

"According to my previous temper, I would have slapped you a few times to wake you up."

"But now I listen to Brother Ali and behave myself on the set, so I warn you first, keep your little thoughts to yourself, if I find out that you have any bad intentions again, I will slap you in the face."

Zhao Lusi folded her arms across her chest and looked at Wang Zhixuan in front of her with a disdainful look.

"Heh...what are you so proud of? You were almost abandoned. What's the point of showing off in front of me? If you have the guts, go find Xiaotian and show off!"

Wang Zhixuan sneered with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Snapped!!!"

A loud slap was heard, causing Xuan Lu, who was standing outside the door, to shrink his neck and shudder.

"Are you crazy?!"

"How dare you?"

Wang Zhixuan covered her right cheek and turned back, staring at Zhao Lusi in disbelief.

"Brother Ali also said something, telling me not to change and just be myself."

"This slap will teach you a lesson. Even if I am not as good as Xiaotian, I am still his woman and Xinghan's heroine."

Zhao Lusi raised her eyelids slightly and said with a look of disdain.

"you……!"

Wang Zhixuan wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she suppressed her anger and turned away angrily.

"Heh~"

Zhao Lusi sneered, then turned and walked out of the lounge.

"what!!!"

After she walked out, a very restrained growl was heard from the lounge.

Zhao Lusi paused, then raised the corners of her lips and continued walking.

She just wanted the entire crew to know the consequences of having any thoughts.
