Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 56 Finalizing the Director
In the box.

Zhang Jingyi was a little absent-minded as she thought about the scene of meeting Lin Li just now, with a look of regret on her face.

I was so excited to see my idol just now that I forgot to ask Nanda for his contact information.

In that case, it will be a long time before we meet again!
Holding her little face in her hands, Zhang Jingyi's face was full of despair.

"Hey, Jingyi, why are you unhappy after coming back from going out for a while?"

A friend sitting next to her saw that she looked not well and asked curiously.

She shook her head and forced a smile: "Nothing, I just have been traveling back and forth between Star City, Beijing City and Magic City recently to take exams, and I am a little tired."

The friend looked at her suspiciously, a little unconvinced: "You were so excited earlier?"

Zhang Jingyi waved her hand: "Oh, it's really nothing, let's eat, cheers!"

Seeing this, the other people in the box also raised their glasses and responded together.

"cheers!"

After eating and drinking, the group of people, who were a little tipsy, ended the dinner at around ten o'clock in the evening.

Because they were celebrating for Zhang Jingyi, there were seven of them in the group, and the other six agreed to split the bill together.

When they walked to the bar outside, one of them went to the front desk to pay the bill, reported the box number, and asked about the amount of consumption.

"Hello, the total consumption is 4700 yuan."

The man didn't think much about it and prepared to pay.

The cashier at the bar stopped him and explained to her puzzled look: "It's like this, a gentleman paid the bill for your box at around eight o'clock."

"?"

She and the people behind her were all confused and looked at Zhang Jingyi in confusion.

Zhang Jingyi had some guesses in her mind at this time, and looked at the bartender with sparkling eyes: "Did he leave any message?"

The bartender nodded: "This gentleman has said that if anyone asks you, you should say that he is Miss Zhang Jingyi's friend, and he is here to celebrate her admission to her favorite school."

"!!!"

Zhang Jingyi only felt a "boom" in her head, and her whole body seemed to be electrified, and she stood there in a daze.

She seemed to be deaf to all the questions from her friends around her.

Lin Li would never have thought that his unintentional action would have such a great impact on an 18-year-old girl who was just beginning to fall in love.

People are most afraid of meeting someone of extraordinary talent in their best years.

Because now that I have met you, there will be no room for anyone else in my eyes.

And this person also gave her a casual surprise.

-

June 6th, summer vacation is approaching.

Today, Lin Li got up early in the morning, washed up, and rushed to the company with Chen Chao.

Well, another day of skipping school!
At nine o'clock, when I arrived at the office, Xu Fei was already waiting there.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin, good morning, Mr. Chen."

"Morning, Mr. Xu. You look good today."

"Haha, the director has finally decided on the role. Of course I'm happy."

Xu Fei looked relaxed. Although he and Chen Chao had not been very successful in discovering new directors during this period, the director of the company's next drama had been decided, and he, as the head of the film and television department, was able to relax a lot.

Yes, the reason why Lin Li and the others gathered here today was because Yang Mi called him yesterday to tell him that she had persuaded director Lin Yufen and she agreed to come and help Nanxun Culture direct their next web drama.

This is also a rare good news for Lin Li in recent times.

Many people may not know the director Lin Yufen.

She was originally an assistant director under Li Guoli of Tangren. She is from Hong Kong and has directed popular TV series such as The Legend of Sword and Fairy III and Wu Xin: The Monster Killer.

Her characteristics are that the characters she chooses are basically harmonious, the satisfaction of book fans is generally high, the plot is smooth and logical without major flaws, the adaptation is acceptable, and the special effects and publicity are well done.

In short, he is very good at understanding the needs of the audience, taking their feelings and tastes into consideration and catering to the market. He can make money as long as the audience is satisfied, and he is a successful commercial director.

Her most recent completed drama is Yang Mi's Three Lives Three Worlds, and she has a very good personal relationship with Yang Mi, so when they met last time, he asked Yang Mi to persuade Lin Yufen to help him direct You Are My Glory and let Reba play the leading female role.

To be honest, if it was just to get Lin Yufen to help Nanxun Culture direct a play, there was no need to use this as a condition for the exchange. He could just find a director of decent level to direct it. After all, he would be the one to write the script, and the role of the director was important, but not that important.

But what Lin Li values ​​is Lin Yufen as a person. He doesn't just want this drama. What he wants is to use this opportunity of cooperation to keep Lin Yufen and make her the exclusive TV drama director of their Nanxun Culture.

As far as he knew, as Tangren declined, she and Liang Shengquan left Tangren one after another and were poached by companies such as Huanrui and Huanyu, but he could not remember the exact time.

Originally he still had some doubts about whether this matter could be accomplished, but yesterday Yang Mi called him and told him that she had persuaded Lin Yufen.

He knew that this matter was a sure thing.

Otherwise, Lin Yufen would not have agreed to take on their drama. Everyone in the industry knows about Tangren’s situation, which restricts their own company’s artists and production team from taking on outside dramas.

The fact that Lin Yufen agreed to take over You Are My Glory shows that Tangren no longer has much control over the company's personnel.

At ten o'clock, after Gao Wen came to notify the arrival of someone, Lin Li and his group got up and went to the reception room, ready to meet this Hong Kong director with a brilliant resume.

In the reception room, Yang Mi, who came with them, was looking at the environment of the reception room curiously.

Today she is wearing a black tight skirt, which shows off her curvy figure to the fullest. She is paired with black high heels and has long hair, showing the charm of a mature woman.

On the way into the reception room, I don't know how many male employees of Nanxun Culture paid attention to me.

Yang Mi was actually secretly surprised in her heart. It was her first time here, and she didn't expect that Nanxun Culture had rented an entire floor in such a high-end business building.

Moreover, the interior decoration is also very high-end. Along the way, from the front desk to the office area, and then to the reception room, people are rushing back and forth, creating an extremely busy scene full of a thriving atmosphere.

She secretly compared it with her own company and found that Jiaxing seemed inferior to Nanxun Culture in all aspects, a company that had only been established for a few months.

If we really have to be picky, we can only say that Nanxun Culture is not involved in artist economics and does not have its own artists, so it is indeed not as good as them.

But in this regard, with the resources Lin Li has, creating stars is actually the easiest thing. Didn’t you see that she came here just to help Di Lieba get a role as the heroine?

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the door to the reception room was pushed open and Lin Li and his group walked in one after another.

Lin Li glanced at the scene indoors, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he passed by Yang Mi, and then his gaze stopped on a middle-aged lady with neat short hair.

The corners of his mouth lifted, he put on a decent and kind smile, walked forward and extended his hand: "Hello, Director Lin, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Lin Yufen also smiled heartily and shook the hand that Lin Li extended: "Director Lin, we are still from the same family. There is no need to be so polite."

"That's true. No wonder we are destined to work together."

"Yes, yes."

"Director Lin, this is our company's general manager Chen Chao and the head of the film and television department Xu Fei."

"Hello, hello, Mr. Chen, hello, Mr. Xu."

After introducing the few people to each other, Lin Li turned his gaze to Yang Mi, who was watching with a smile on his face, and tilted his head slightly with a look of admiration.

"Sister Mi is so radiant today. She is attracting all the gay men in our company."

Yang Mi's eyes turned, and her tone was a little surprised: "Really? Does it also include our Director Lin?"

He said sincerely: "Of course, who wouldn't be fascinated by our sister Mi's grace?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him, half in anger and half in joy: "They say men's words are deceiving, I think this saying is quite appropriate for you."

He looked innocent: "I am wronged, Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu, do you think I am right?"

Lin Li turned around and looked at the two of them, pursing his lips to indicate.

Chen Chao and Xu Fei were naturally a perfect match. They said nice things one after another, making Yang Mi giggle.

After a round of greetings, Xu Fei took out the contract and signed the director contract with Lin Yufen.

Since he wanted to keep Lin Yufen in Nanxun Culture, Lin Li was naturally generous in his move.

Lin Yufen's current director's salary is between three million and five million, and after discussing with Xu Fei, he decided to give her eight million. When Lin Yufen signed the contract, she couldn't help but look at Xu Fei and him several times.

Yang Mi's eyelids were twitching as she watched from the side. Although her salary was very high now, it was still rare for a TV drama director to get such a high salary.

She couldn't help but secretly be surprised at Lin Li's generosity.

Looking at Lin Li who was chatting enthusiastically with Lin Yufen, he had changed in her eyes.

Yes, in the past she only noticed his appearance and talent, and almost forgot that he was also very rich!

Thinking of this, her already charming fox eyes became even more moist and alluring.

I really don’t have time to write during the Chinese New Year, and my saved manuscripts are running out, so I’m very panicked.
