Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 574 Preparation, face to face with Master Zhou
At seven o'clock the next day, Lin Li's alarm clock rang on time.

"Sister Yitong, I'm going to class. Let's have dinner together in the evening. You should have a good rest during the day."

After washing up, Lin Li walked to the bedside and whispered to Li Yitong, who was lying on the bed with her limbs spread out without caring about her image at all.

"Um……"

Li Yitong hummed without opening her eyes.

"Heh~"

Lin Li smiled, chuckled, bent down and kissed her cheek before turning around and walking out of the bedroom and closing the door.

"You little bastard, you're killing me."

After hearing Lin Li's door closing, Li Yitong opened his eyes slightly to look at the door, then immediately closed them.

He turned over and fell into deep sleep again.

The two of them kept doing it until nearly five o'clock, and Lin Li only let her go after her limbs became limp and her mouth became numb.

She didn't want to do anything now, she just wanted to get some sleep.

About an hour later, Lin Li arrived at the school and started today's classes.

Unlike Li Yitong, Lin Li now feels refreshed and is in very good condition.

After finishing the morning classes, Lin Li and Chen Chao went to the cafeteria and started their lunch time under the watchful eyes of many people.

"I told you I don't want to eat with you. I feel uncomfortable every time."

Chen Chao glanced around and said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Eating with me, using my card, and still showing it off to you?"

"And now I feel much better. I am no longer afraid to even eat in the cafeteria."

Lin Li chewed the food in his mouth and said unhappily.

Compared to when school started, after more than half a month of adaptation and the school's repeated warnings, he is no longer surrounded by people, but the attention he is receiving now is unavoidable.

"The main reason is that I've been with you all the time, and I can't really show how special I am. I want to get to know a few more female students."

Chen Chao said with a sad look on his face.

"Come on, be careful. Wasn't that junior sister from the Media Department very nice last time?"

Lin Li took a bite of rice and thought of the freshman girl that Chen Chao brought with him when he had dinner with him last week, and said casually.

"Not really suitable, we broke up. I met a new actor recently, he's pretty good."

Chen Chao spoke with rice in his mouth.

"Divided again? Are you going to challenge the record of one a week? Wasn't it one a month before?"

Lin Li raised his head and looked at him, his expression speechless.

"No way, it's not appropriate."

"I want to find true love, but they only care about my money and resources. Although they can satisfy me physically, they can't fill the void in my heart."

Chen Chao covered his chest with his hands, looking heartbroken.

"Do you believe me and I'll smear this dish on your face?"

Lin Li glanced at him with disdain.

I don’t know when it started, but it’s like this guy has opened the seal and has been changing girlfriends one after another. Whenever I ask him, he says he feels something is not right. Whenever I ask again, he says he doesn’t love me enough.

It's outrageous that he thinks a scumbag is a scumbag.

"How do you think you are better than me?"

"I am what you call a new-age scumbag. I walk through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on me."

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said with a proud expression.

"Heh... whatever you want. Just be careful and take precautions. I'm afraid you'll get sick."

Lin Li sneered and warned.

"You don't have to worry about that. I'm in good health!"

"Besides, I'm not stupid. I won't touch anything that has problems."

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows in a mean manner.

"It's up to you, just don't die young."

"Let's talk business. How many people are there in the screenwriting department now? The last few times I gave them the scripts, they did a good job polishing them, but this time I plan to just give them the outline and leave everything else to them. Do you think they can handle it?"

After the argument, Lin Li and Chen Chao said seriously.

"There are currently 37 people, mostly new screenwriters, and some senior screenwriters I poached. I think there will be no problem."

“So you’re planning on starting a new project?”

Speaking of business, Chen Chao's expression became serious and he asked curiously.

"Well, it's an anti-criminal crime drama. I think if it's done well, it will be a phenomenal hit."

Lin Liyan said succinctly.

"Your work?"

"Why don't I remember you having a work on this subject?"

Chen Chao asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Li then told him all his plans, and Chen Chao nodded repeatedly.

"I think they should have no problem with it. When I get to the company, I'll have a meeting with President Xu and their screenwriting department to discuss it. Anyway, you'll have to make the final decision on the script."

Chen Chao pondered for a moment, then gave his reply.

"Okay, then I'll write the outline of the script as soon as possible and give it to them to perfect."

"I value this work very much. We also cannot let outsiders think that Nanxun Culture can only produce dramas that young people like to watch. We need to expand the audience group."

"I agree with this. It is indeed important to cover audiences of more age groups."

"Okay, let's do this. Sister Wen has been at the company almost all the time recently, and she has enough personal ability. You can bring her with you to any meetings there."

"Are you ready to train her?"

"Well, more than a year is enough time to get to know her."

"Okay, then I understand."

After discussing the important matters, the two finished their meal, picked up their plates and took them to the summary area together, then left the cafeteria under the gaze of many people.

After finishing the afternoon class, Lin Li continued to spend the night with Li Yitong, and returned to school after sending her to the airport early the next morning.

But Lin Li still couldn't relax.

At lunch time, Lin Li walked out of the school gate fully armed, walked about one kilometer, and came to a cafe near Renmin University.

After pushing open the door and taking a look, I saw that there were not many people on the first floor and many seats were empty.

Pulling down the brim of his hat, Lin Li ran straight to the second floor. After confirming the room number in front of a private room, Lin Li raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door three times.

"Please come in."

After hearing the sound coming from inside the door, Lin Li pushed the door open and walked in.

"Here you are. Pretty quick."

The first person to come forward was Zhang Jingyi, whom I hadn't seen for a few days.

"Well, Jingyi asked me to do it, so of course I have to run."

Lin Li joked as he took off his hat.

"Just lie to me without blushing or panting." Zhang Jingyi pouted and said in a low voice.

"Why is Jingyi dressed so cute today? Is she acting like a spoiled brat?"

Lin Li looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes and eyebrows filled with smiles.

The distressed blue overalls, paired with a gentle light yellow T-shirt, washed jeans, and carefully woven double braids, make the whole look playful and cute.

"I'm not acting like a spoiled child. You're the one who always loves to tease me."

"Okay, come here and let me introduce you. This is Teacher Zhou Xun."

Zhang Jingyi blushed, then she remembered something important and quickly moved aside to make way for Zhou Xun behind her.

"It's okay. Seeing you young people chatting makes me feel good. Let's just reminisce about our youth."

Zhou Xun smiled and said with emotion.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou Xun. Jingyi and I are used to making a few jokes. Please don't be offended, Teacher Zhou Xun."

Lin Li put on a proper smile and greeted her.

"How could that be? Teacher Nanxun is really embarrassed to hear me say this."

"Nice to meet you. I'm actor Zhou Xun."

Zhou Xun was secretly surprised at the change in Lin Li's temperament, and took the initiative to extend his hand and chuckled.

"Teacher Zhou Xun, you're too polite. I'm Lin Li."

Lin Li grasped her outstretched hand, and they separated at the first touch.

"Teacher Nanxun, let's take a seat first. It's not appropriate to stand here all the time."

Zhou Xun smiled and gestured to the dining table behind him.

"Ok."

Lin Li nodded, then he and Zhang Jingyi looked at each other and walked to the table and sat down together.

Zhou Xun sat alone on one side, while Lin Li sat on the other side with Zhang Jingyi.

"What would you like to drink, Teacher Nanxun?"

"I'll just have a latte."

"Hot nickel?"

"Yes."

"It's just like what Jingyi said."

"Well, yes, she knows me well."

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, showing understanding, then scanned the code and started ordering.

Lin Li looked at Zhang Jingyi beside him with a playful smile.

"Jingyi knows me very well."

"We've been filming together for so long, if I say I don't understand, you might be sad."

"That's for sure, to the point of crying bitterly."

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

"I think you'll believe it."

"Well, just believe it. I'm mainly worried that you'll be sad."

"Well, thank you Jingyi for your trust."

"Hey~"

Zhang Jingyi turned her head away, fearing that if she continued chatting with Lin Li like this, Zhou Xun would laugh at her.

Lin Li said a few words casually, and she already felt her ears getting hot.

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that Teacher Nanxun had such a side to him."

Zhou Xun supported his chin with one hand and glanced at Lin Li and the other man with an auntie smile, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Before coming here today, she did a lot of homework.

Whether it was the conflict at the kiwi fruit wine party, the follow-up to Yang Yang's audition, or the recent colorful Yu Zheng incident in the circle, they all indicate one thing.

Teacher Nan Xun, who became famous at a young age, is not as kind as he usually appears.

On the contrary, he was quite strong and even had no scruples.

But she also knew that Lin Li had the capital.

Not to mention the status of the two words "Nanxun" in the cultural field, the National People's Congress behind him alone is enough for him to maneuver freely in the entertainment industry.

What's more, he has built the prototype of Nanxun Culture, a new cultural and entertainment empire, in just two years.

But this person gave her a very different feeling from the moment they met until now.

When facing himself, Lin Li was gentle, humble and polite, just as he behaved in many public occasions.

But when facing Zhang Jingyi, he seemed like a completely different person, with the vitality and youthfulness that should be expected of a person of his age immediately overflowing.

This discovery made Zhou Xun somewhat happy, but more so, he was worried.

As for what they were going to talk about next, she hoped for success, but she was also worried about what attitude she should take towards Jingyi if she succeeded.

"Teacher Zhou Xun, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

Lin Li responded casually.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Xun answered the door and a waiter walked into the room carrying a tray.

Coffee, desserts, fruits and some light meals.

After setting the table, the waitress glanced at the faces of several people several times, especially staying on Lin Li for a long time before reluctantly turning around and leaving the box, gently closing the door.

"Teacher Nanxun, Jingyi said you have classes in the afternoon, so let's just have a simple meal at noon. How about I host a gathering when Teacher Nanxun is free?"

Zhou Xun smiled at Lin Li.

The iconic voice made Lin Li grimace secretly.

Fortunately, Brother Xun has good acting skills, otherwise it would be really difficult to hold together such a hoarse voice.

"No problem, they are all in Beijing, there are plenty of opportunities."

Lin Li raised his glass and gestured to her, responding politely.

"Yes, I believe we will have many opportunities to interact with each other in the future."

Zhou Xun glanced at Zhang Jingyi, who had been smiling since she sat down beside Lin Li, and said something suggestive.

"Well, Teacher Zhou Xun is right."

Lin Li smiled without commenting.

"I believe Jingyi has also told Teacher Nanxun the reason why we met today. She trusts Teacher Nanxun very much."

"I wonder what Teacher Nanxun thinks of her joining our Dongshen?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Zhou Xun got straight to the point.

"First of all, I want to know what Teacher Zhou Xun's Dongshen can give Jingyi?"

"As far as I know, both Teacher Chen Kun and Teacher Zhou Xun have not been doing well recently."

Lin Li slowly picked up the coffee and drove straight to the road.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Xun's face froze unnaturally.
