Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 563: Uneasy and Ready to Make a Move

The Starry Night crew.

"Hello, Teacher Nanxun!"

"Hello, Director Lin!"

"Teacher Nanxun..."

……

As Zhao Lusi and the other two turned around to greet them, the crew members who had been silenced by Lin Li also spoke up to greet them.

When the main actors such as Bai Jingting and Cheng Yi learned that Lin Li had arrived at the crew, they quickly rushed over to say hello.

"Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work."

"I asked someone to prepare a dining cart. There are also milk tea and coffee. Let's take a break for another fifteen minutes, eat and drink well, and then continue working."

Lin Li looked around and said with a smile,
"Thank you, Teacher Nanxun!"

"Long live Teacher Nanxun!"

……

Now there was a sudden cheer, and then the venue staff pushed the food cart and drinks over and started distributing them.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for coming to visit the set and bringing so many things, haha."

Lin Yufen said with a bright smile.

"Director Lin, what are you talking about? Director Lin and everyone else have worked so hard on our Nanxun Culture drama. These are nothing compared to what they actually are."

"We are all family, so we don't say those things."

Lin Lichong chuckled at Lin Yufen.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin is right. We are all family members. Haha."

Lin Yufen continued to laugh.

Her personality always seems to be like this, very manly and straightforward.

"After we finish shooting this afternoon, I've booked a place for the evening, and we can all get together."

"Logically, I should have come here earlier, but I just couldn't get away. This is my problem, please don't blame me."

Lin Li looked around at the leading actors and apologized.

"Oh, Mr. Lin, you are too polite."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, everyone knows that you are busy with your studies and filming a new drama. We understand very well."

"We are very happy that Mr. Lin can come."

……

A number of actors responded one after another, and the scene was very lively.

While Lin Li was talking, Zhao Lusi just looked at him silently. Apart from the greeting just now, Lin Li glanced at her and didn't say another word to her. He just greeted everyone.

Zhao Lusi secretly looked at Lin Li whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He was dressed simply and comfortably today, a loose T-shirt with jeans and sneakers.

With the buzz cut, his eyebrows and eyes seem to become sharper.

Even so, as long as he smiled gently, he couldn't conceal his gentle and jade-like temperament.

No matter when, Lin Li always makes her heart beat fast.

Until the end of the greetings, Lin Li did not speak to her alone, which made Zhao Lusi feel very disappointed.

She felt that Lin Li still couldn't forgive her, and she felt uneasy and uneasy.

Wang Zhixuan had been paying attention to the two of them. After seeing this situation, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As the break ended, seeing Lin Li sitting next to Lin Yufen, Zhao Lusi quickly perked up and collected her thoughts.

No matter what, she couldn't embarrass herself in front of Lin Li again and had to perform well during the filming.

The other leading actors are the same as Zhao Rusi. With Lin Li, the great director and original author, around, who dares to relax?
The same is true for the crew members. More than half of the Xinghan crew are Lin Yufen’s own team, and another part is Nanxun Culture’s own team.

Now Lin Li sat in front of the monitor, and everyone wanted to perform well.

"Okay, clear the area and get ready."

"The lighting and the stage manager are in place."

"The 1821st scene of Starry Sky, one shot at a time!"

"action!"

"Snapped!"

As the sound of the clappers began, the actors on the stage quickly got into the mood.

This section is a group scene, with all the main actors including Guo Tao, Zeng Li, Zhao Lusi, Bai Jingting and others present. Maybe because they were standing next to each other, everyone performed very well and the filming was very smooth.

This one passes quickly and the next one continues.

In the next three hours, the crew was very efficient and almost all the shots were completed in one take, which made Lin Li nod his head repeatedly.

No matter what the reason is, at least the result seems to be good. As for some minor problems, they are not serious.

During the break in filming, Wang Zhixuan and Xuan Lu got together again.

"Have you noticed that Teacher Nanxun has hardly spoken to Ruth since he came to the crew, so are they?"

Xuan Lu raised an eyebrow at Wang Zhixuan with a gossipy look on his face.

"It should be what we guessed."

"Tsk... No wonder Ruth worked so hard on the crew after she came back. It seems she realized that she will have no one to rely on in the future."

Wang Zhixuan looked at Zhao Lusi who was filming not far away, her eyes full of sarcasm.

"But even so, she still has two works to her credit, The Tragic Female No. 3 and The Female Lead in Star Han."

"Based on the past performance of Nanxun Culture's works, our Xinghan will most likely be a big hit. Moreover, Xinghan is Nanxun Culture's first costume drama. We can all feel the dedication of the crew in every aspect. I estimate that she will rise to fame after this drama."

Xuan Lu looked at Zhao Lusi and expressed his emotion.

"That's right. No matter what, she got all the benefits. What a lucky girl!"

Wang Zhixuan narrowed her eyes and agreed.

Xuan Lu's words reminded her that even though Zhao Lusi was abandoned by Lin Li now, she still got benefits from Lin Li, so she made a profit no matter how you look at it.

So, as long as she can climb onto Lin Li’s bed…

Wang Zhixuan stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips, her eyes filled with eagerness to try.

Tonight’s dinner party might be an opportunity!
Wang Zhixuan thought to herself. Just after six o'clock, with Lin Yufen's "click", everyone felt relieved, thinking that the filming had finally ended under Lin Li's eyes.

Then, under the organization of Lin Yufen, the leading actors and core members of the crew went to the dinner location in batches after changing their clothes.

Lin Li went there with Lin Yufen. He had some small issues that he found during the filming process and wanted to discuss them with Lin Yufen.

There were many people on the set just now, and he couldn't just come over and raise questions. This would be tantamount to slapping Lin Yufen in the face and would also affect her authority in the crew.

Although he had avoided many of the flaws in his memory when writing the script, Lin Li still discovered some small details when he was watching in the afternoon, so he thought about chatting with Lin Yufen.

Therefore, Lin Li did not stop at all along the way and continued to discuss with Lin Yufen. Another assistant director of the crew was also there, and the three of them exchanged ideas with each other.

On the other side, after changing clothes in the crew's fitting room, Zhao Lusi asked the stylist to carefully put on makeup for her.

"Ruth, it's already beautiful, do you need any adjustments?"

The stylist crossed her arms and said helplessly as she looked at Zhao Lusi who was carefully examining her own eyebrows in the makeup mirror.

"Sister Li, can you please make my eyebrows a little lighter so they don't look too heavy?"

Zhao Lusi looked up at the stylist and asked.

"Eh, okay."

"Don't worry, Ruth. I promise that all the unhappiness will disappear after Teacher Nanxun sees you today."

The stylist, whom Zhao Lusi called Sister Li, was drawing Zhao Lusi's eyebrows while comforting her.

As a member of Zhao Lusi's team, she naturally knew the relationship between Zhao Lusi and Lin Li, and also knew what happened at the banquet.

"Do you think he'll forgive me?"

Zhao Lusi glanced at her and confirmed with her somewhat lacking confidence.

"Of course I will. The fact that Teacher Nanxun can come here at this time means a lot."

"Besides, everyone has seen your performance since returning to the crew. I believe he will be able to see your efforts."

Sister Li comforted her with the tone of someone who had experienced it.

"Well, he will, he will!"

Zhao Lusi stared at herself in the mirror and said with certainty.

Duyun is a tourist city with beautiful scenery and also a food capital.

Lin Li specially checked online before coming, and then asked Gao Wen to book a farm stay that was very famous locally.

Because the place is not very big, Gao Wen specially booked the entire store after 6pm in advance.

Members of the crew arrived one after another. What’s interesting is that all the core members of the crew have arrived at the scene, and the male actors are basically all there as well.

However, none of the female lead actors except Zhang Yifan were there. The group of people who had already arrived exchanged glances with each other and immediately understood what these actresses were thinking.

It’s not that they all want to do something, but as actresses, they all want to leave a good impression in front of Lin Li, who is both the investor and the director.

Soon, Lin Li and Lin Yufen also arrived at the farm house.

After getting off the car, he saw a group of people waiting at the door and invited them to go in together. Lin Li opened his mouth and everyone naturally agreed happily.

"Yifan, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing recently?"

When Lin Li saw Zhang Yifan, his eyebrows curved and he asked softly.

"Yes, Director Lin. The last time was at our movie premiere."

"I'm fine. Everyone on the crew takes good care of me."

Zhang Yifan followed Lin Li closely, smiling and answering obediently.

"Ah That's good."

Lin Li nodded in satisfaction, then stopped talking to her and started chatting with Bai Jingting and other male actors.

After entering the room, Lin Li took a quick look and then found a table to sit down at.

There are no private rooms here, just four tables in a relatively large room.

Not sure if all specialty restaurants are like this, but Lin Li has discovered that many restaurants with delicious food are not very big.

Seeing Lin Li sitting down, others also sat down.

Lin Yufen sat on Lin Li’s right hand side. Bai Jingting hesitated for a moment and sat next to Lin Yufen.

Lin Li glanced at him and smiled imperceptibly.

There were four tables, each of which could seat about twelve people. After they were seated, the actresses from the crew began to arrive one after another.

Zeng Li, Cao Xiwen, Sun Qian, Wang Ziwei and others entered the room one after another. Each of them was dressed fashionably and had exquisite makeup, and it was obvious that they had put a lot of effort into their looks.

Soon, Wang Zhixuan and Xuan Lu arrived together.

When he saw the two of them, Lin Li felt as if his eyes had brightened.

Wang Zhixuan wore a white puff-sleeved navel-baring top with mint green plaid trousers, which showed off her slim waist and long legs. This little sexiness also had a kind of cute charm, which was quite eye-catching.

Xuan Lu next to her had her thick, slightly curly hair tied into a high ponytail, looking cool and neat.

She wore an off-white crew-neck sweater to match her hairstyle and show off her swan neck and delicate face.

The beige sweater is refreshing in color, making her skin look lighter and brighter.

The loose sweater is casual and fashionable, but Xuan Lu pulled up the hem, revealing her slender white waist, which makes people unconsciously glance at her.

The two of them stood together, forming a beautiful landscape.

After seeing the situation clearly, the two walked towards the table where Lin Li was. After bowing and greeting him, Xuan Lu found an empty seat and sat down. Wang Zhixuan glanced at the empty seat to the left of Lin Li and her heart moved slightly.

She noticed that Zhao Lusi had not arrived yet. Perhaps everyone else thought that this seat should belong to Zhao Lusi, so they deliberately avoided her.

But through today's observation, she thinks that Zhao Lusi is not qualified to sit there now.

She wants to try it!

then……

Under the gazes of many people, Wang Zhixuan walked up to Lin Li and smiled at him:
"Director Lin, can I sit here?"

Lin Li raised his eyes to look at her bright smiling face, his eyebrows slightly curved.

Seeing Lin Li smiling, Wang Zhixuan was delighted and the corners of her mouth raised even higher.

"This position is occupied, Zhixuan, please go somewhere else."

Wang Zhixuan's smile suddenly froze on her face.

How could this be?
This was not what she expected!
