Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 556: The four words floating in the air, the girl blocking the road

At the freshman ceremony, noisy discussions were heard.

Everyone looked at each other, all confused as to why Lin Li suddenly started talking about butts in such an occasion?

Li Landi blushed, not understanding what Lin Li meant by suddenly mentioning this part of the body?
It's so embarrassing...

However, many people in the first two rows seemed to be thinking about something.

Lin Li took in the reactions of the audience, smiled calmly, and continued:
"I noticed that quite a few students seemed to have misunderstood."

"Why did you mention butt?"

"Because if you want to persist in writing, you must first establish a connection between your butt and the chair. Only when you can sit still and calm down, can you enter the creative state."

“This is the prerequisite for persisting in writing.”

Having said this, Lin Li deliberately paused and glanced around the audience.

After hearing Lin Li's answer, many people showed a look of realization, and even more people felt embarrassed, as if they had misunderstood something.

Li Landi's eyes lit up after hearing Lin Li's answer. He was first secretly ashamed of his suspicion of Lin Li, and then he looked forward to Lin Li's next answer even more.

Seeing the reactions of the crowd below the stage, Lin Li curled his lips and continued:
“The first step is to sit down and start writing. If you don’t write, you won’t know how bad your writing is, and you won’t know how to improve it.”

“Writing is like an experience in life. Without experience, you cannot have a life. If you don’t write, you won’t have your works. You need to establish a friendship between your buttocks and the chair. You need to sit down and be able to sit there for a long time.”

“Sometimes writing is like a faucet. The way to touch the switch is actually very simple. Just finish writing this paragraph and then write another one. Then you will definitely touch the switch.”

"Student Li Landi, this should be very simple and straightforward, right?"

After finishing the story, Lin Li asked Li Landi with a smile.

"Very straightforward. I benefited a lot from your words. Thank you very much, Teacher Nanxun!"

Li Landi bowed to Lin Li, then stood up and stared at him with sparkling eyes before answering.

"Okay, then please invite the next person. I will step down if I am not on the stage."

Lin Li pushed the process forward on his own, which surprised Li Landi in the audience for a moment. Then, after he realized what was happening, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

The same was true for the other freshmen. At this moment, Lin Li's performance was very "youthful", making the freshmen feel as if they were closer to Teacher Nan Xun.

"It seems a little different from what I imagined, but it's still very charming."

Li Landi thought to himself as he looked at Lin Li who was performing very humorously on the stage.

"Are there any students who want to ask questions? If not, then I will start counting down. 3, 2, 1, no..."

"I have a question!"

Lin Li's quick countdown still failed. He looked at Yi Yang Qianxi, who took the microphone from Li Landi, with a helpless expression on his face.

Seeing this, many people in the audience smiled knowingly and understood his inner thoughts.

Failed to get off work!

"Okay, then tell me what your problem is, Mr. Qianxi."

Lin Li looked at Yi Yang Qianxi and spoke.

"Teacher Nanxun, earlier you talked about what qualities a good actor needs to have. You said it very well, and I agree with you."

"But I still want to ask you in more depth, what kind of actor do you think is a truly good actor?"

"I mean the kind that would catch your eye, the kind that would be a leading man."

Yi Yang Qianxi looked directly at Lin Li on the stage with a focused expression.

Lin Li looked at Yi Yang Qianxi's calm expression in the audience and curled his lips slightly.

He didn't expect that these four characters were still stubborn and were still thinking about what happened at the opening.

Many people in the audience were moved, and they all sensed a hint of unusual aura.

In the front row, Xu Xiang and Hao Rong looked at each other, both of them had unhappy expressions.

It seems that their star student is a little confused.

Some things are okay if you do them once, but if you do them twice it can make you seem persistent and cause dislike.

"It seems that Qianxi is very persistent in the matter of acting. In that case, let me answer your question."

Lin Li smiled, revealing his neat and white teeth, and responded calmly.

Without waiting for Yi Yang Qianxi to answer, Lin Li organized his words a little, looked at him and said:
“It’s actually very simple, just be able to enter and exit the role with ease.

"It's that simple."

Yi Yang Qianxi was startled when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Li raised his hand to signal him to stay silent, so he had to keep quiet.

"Don't worry, just listen to me."

Lin Li anticipated his reaction and interrupted him directly.

Then, Lin Li glanced at the audience and continued leisurely:
"We first know that during the filming process, film and television dramas are not shot in the order of the plot, but are compiled into segments based on different scenes, time and characters."

"Generally, the scenes of the same scene will be concentrated in one place for filming first. Of course, there will be various other factors that affect the arrangement of the scenes, but this is the crew's overall planning."

"That is to say, the actor must directly put himself into a fragmentary situation and have the emotions of the character in the play, as if that is what is happening to him."

"But it's definitely not something that can be done just once. Every director has different requirements, including the actors' own conditions, changes in the environment and time, inadequate lighting and photography, etc. It's even possible that an extra in the group goes to the wrong position in the shot, so the scene has to be started all over again."

"There are more than ten NGs over and over again. The actors have to keep getting into the mood and back to reality with their makeup on. They may shoot from morning till night just for one scene. In fact, it is a huge torture for the actors both physically and mentally."

"For a truly good actor, regardless of the sense of mission, the most important thing is to work hard."

"So, don't think it's that simple to get into a role and then get out of it. It involves the actors repeatedly reading the script, figuring out how to perform, being able to endure hardships and cooperate on the set, and being able to control the emotions in the play and not bring them into their daily lives afterwards."

"So someone who can enter and exit a role with ease, and can control himself freely, is a good actor in my mind."

"Well... the kind that can be the male lead." Lin Li smiled faintly and looked at Yi Yang Qianxi in the audience with a hint of meaning.

Yi Yang Qianxi's originally somewhat irritated mood had gradually calmed down, and after hearing Lin Li's last sentence, he immediately realized that his performance today seemed to make Lin Li somewhat dissatisfied, so he planned to open his mouth to respond.

But Lin Li didn't give him a chance.

"Okay, they say things never happen more than three times. I've answered three questions, so let's stop here today."

"Thank you for your kindness, and see you again if we are lucky."

After answering, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Lin Li handed the microphone to the host with a smile, then walked off the stage and returned to his seat.

The movements were done in one go, without any pause.

It was not until Lin Li sat down that the freshmen in the audience reacted and started clapping.

Many people turned their eyes to Yi Yang Qianxi. Lin Li's reaction just now did not give any face to this popular traffic star.

Yi Yang Qianxi stood there and looked at Lin Li's back somewhat awkwardly. When he saw that Lin Li had no intention of paying any attention to him, he sat back in his seat silently.

He realized that his eagerness today had caused Lin Li to feel disgusted, and he was now anxious about how to change his image in front of Lin Li.

Seeing this, many people at the scene secretly gloated.

"Okay, thank you Teacher Nanxun for answering so many questions from us freshmen. What you said is very worth pondering and pondering."

"As expected of you, Teacher Nanxun. Thank you again."

"Then please let us enjoy the stage play performed by the freshmen..."

On the stage, the female host saw that something was not right and quickly spoke up to stabilize the situation.

Afterwards, several freshmen quickly came on stage and began to perform a drama, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became relaxed.

"Teacher Nanxun, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. Qianxi is still too young and didn't know how to handle things properly."

Offstage, Xu Xiang turned sideways and explained to Lin Li in a low voice.

He was also somewhat disappointed with Yi Yang Qianxi’s performance just now. He was too unstable, and his huge popularity seemed to have made him forget himself.

"It's okay, Dean Xu. I didn't really take it to heart. I just gave him a warning."

"If I was really angry, I would have interacted with him in a friendly manner before leaving the stage."

Lin Li smiled indifferently and said in a light voice.

"I understand. I believe he will learn his lesson after this."

Xu Xiang nodded to show that he understood, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Yi Yang Qianxi had offended Lin Li. If Lin Li took this matter to heart, he had no doubt that Lin Li had the ability to make it difficult for Yi Yang Qianxi to survive in the entertainment industry.

"Well, I hope so."

Lin Li nodded in response.

Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking and focused on watching the drama performance on the stage.

Chen Baoguo and Deng Chao, who were standing by, looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, as if nothing had happened.

But their hearts were also filled with turmoil and there were huge waves.

There are only a few people in the entire entertainment industry who can perform such actions in the Central Academy of Drama and still remain calm.

At least they are not qualified.

And Xu Xiang's subsequent reaction made them even more amazed.

This reminded them of a saying: as long as you are strong enough, everyone will become gentle and polite in front of you.

In the subtle atmosphere, the drama performance on the stage continues.

Until the performance was over, applause broke out and the ceremony returned to its normal rhythm.

After the performance, Hao Rong took the stage again to express his welcome and expectations for the new students, and talked about the responsibilities of the people of the Central Academy of Drama.

The process progressed slowly, and after less than half an hour, the ceremony finally came to an end with the two hosts' passionate speeches.

Lin Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. This kind of ceremony was too boring for him.

But he still couldn't relax, as he didn't know how many people in the conference hall were staring at him.

Sure enough, as the ceremony ended, Deng Chao and others came forward one after another. Lin Li had to cheer himself up to deal with them and exchanged contact information with them.

When exchanging contact information with Hu Jing, Lin Li looked at her a few more times. When he was a child watching Dragon Ball, Hu Jing's appearance in the movie amazed him for a long time. Even now, she can be called a beauty with charm.

Moreover, her performance as Gao Xiaoqin in In the Name of People is also very eye-catching.

After finally finishing the pleasantries, Xu Xiang invited Lin Li to take a walk around the campus of the Central Academy of Drama. Lin Li couldn't refuse, so he readily agreed.

On the way, Li Landi and Hu Xianxu also came forward to say hello and introduced themselves in detail.

Although the other freshmen were interested, they knew they could not compete with star students like Li Landi, so they could only suppress their excitement and follow along.

Everyone moved slowly towards the exit with Lin Li as the center.

At this moment, a girl suddenly came forward and introduced herself like Li Landi and Hu Xianxu.

"Hello, Mr. Nanxun. I am Hu Lianxin, a freshman in the acting department of the 18 grade."

"I misunderstood you before on the court. I am really sorry."

Lin Li paused, looked up at the girl in front of him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Girl, you really want to make progress.
