Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 586: Creating a Top Stream, Hu Lianxin Misunderstood

In the waiting hall, Chen Chao stopped in front of a young man.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see."

Li Minde grinned and bowed to Chen Chao to greet him.

"You kid, didn't you always call me Brother Chao before?"

"What? Now that you're famous, you don't recognize me as your brother anymore?"

Chen Chao raised his hand and hit Li Minde on the chest, cursing with a smile.

"Brother Chao, I was thinking that there would be a lot of people here, so I called out in a more formal way. Now that you said so, I won't be polite."

Li Minde rubbed his chest and said happily.

"Okay, there are too many people here, let's have dinner together when there's a free time later."

Chen Chao looked around and saw that many people were paying attention to them, so he made an agreement with him.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news, Brother Chao."

Li Minde's smile widened and he spoke enthusiastically.

"Ah."

Chen Chao nodded at him, then ignored the attention of many people and walked straight into the corridor of the audition room.

After seeing Chen Chao leave, many people at the scene looked at Li Minde with some caution.

As early as when they discovered Li Minde, the male actors on the scene felt a little uneasy.

After all, everyone knows that he is the male lead in Lin Li’s first work, and there is a reason for that.

What was even more unexpected was that Chen Chao also came to the scene today, and expressed his closeness to Li Minde without any hesitation, which made all the male actors on the scene feel a little uncomfortable.

There are quite a few young male actors present today, including Bai Yu, Wang Junkai, Hu Xianxu, Xing Zhaolin and others. Even Deng Lun, who just became popular with "Ashes of Love", also came to the audition site, which caused a small commotion.

And some people noticed that not long after Chen Chao left, Lin Yi and He Yu, who had just worked with Lin Li on Ignite, also arrived at the audition site.

Judging from the level of familiarity that Chen Chao and Li Minde just displayed, it was impossible for the male actors present to say that they were not worried.

Everyone is selfish, and there is nothing wrong with favoring people they are familiar with.

Sitting on a seat near the edge, Chen Xiaoyun was dressed in a simple black baseball uniform and a black baseball cap. She was very low-key, and even many actors she knew at the scene didn't notice her arrival.

Chen Xiaoyun saw the scene just now and the reactions of the male actors present.

While eating the melon, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In just less than two years, let alone Lin Li, even the appearance of their company's senior executives could trigger the situation just now, which also invisibly revealed the influence and status of Nanxun Culture in the circle.

Didn’t you see that Deng Lun, the hottest rising star, came to audition obediently?
And Wang Junkai also sat obediently in the corner. Who would dare to think that he is special in this situation?

If this is the case for these two, let alone the others, they should just audition honestly.

"Sister, how come top male artists like Deng Lun and Wang Junkai are waiting here for auditions?"

"Isn't this a bit too embarrassing?"

"Logically, shouldn't they let the team contact Nanxun Culture and then just make the final decision once the intention is reached, like Tian Xiwei did?"

Chen Xiaoyun's assistant came closer to her and spoke in a low voice with a puzzled expression.

"Nanxun culture has not always been like this. What's so strange about that?"

"Even before, even Yang Yang, Wu Yifan, and Li Yifeng, all of them had auditioned at Nanxun Culture."

"It's true that they are top stars. For ordinary actors like us, they are already at the pinnacle of artistry."

"But for Nanxun Culture, although these people are top stars, they are a company that can mass-produce top stars."

"Do you think Nanxun Culture needs to care about what these people think?"

Chen Xiaoyun leaned sideways and explained to the assistant beside him.

"Wow, sis, you really mean it."

"Except for Nanxun Culture, there shouldn't be any other company in our industry that can achieve this level, right?"

The assistant exclaimed in amazement.

"It's not Nanxun Culture that's truly amazing."

Chen Xiaoyun glanced at the familiar faces at the scene and said with emotion.

"what?"

The young assistant was stunned and looked at her in confusion.

"It's okay. I want to read the original book quietly. Please don't talk to me."

Chen Xiaoyun gave her a faint smile, then ignored her and picked up the original novel of Qingqing's Daily Life beside her and started reading.

On the other side, Chen Chao had already entered the theater and walked straight to where Zhang Shangwei and Cai Huaijun were.

"Mr. Chen, welcome to Star City."

Seeing Chen Chao approaching, Cai Huaijun stood up early and extended his hand as soon as Chen Chao stood still.

"Boss Cai, we are in your territory this time. We need to arrange some Star City delicacies, right?"

Chen Chao grabbed Cai Huaijun's hand and laughed out loud.

"Of course. I have already arranged places for lunch and dinner. I will definitely make Mr. Chen's trip worthwhile."

Cai Huaijun grinned and spoke in a generous voice.

"Okay, let's get down to business first."

Chen Chao withdrew his hand and said with anticipation.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. Let's sit down first?"

"Please, Mr. Cai."

"Please come too, Mr. Chen."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two of them took their seats, sitting on the left and right sides of Shang Wei respectively.

"Mr. Chen, please take a look at this."

Seeing Chen Chao sitting down, Shang Wei, who had just stood up with Cai Huaijun and sat down with them with a smile, turned sideways and handed him a piece of information in his hand.

"Ah."

Chen Chao responded softly, then took the information from Shang Wei. After a quick glance, Chen Chao looked up at him silently.

"This is what President Cai just specially asked for. It is said to be related to President Lin."

Shang Wei glanced at Cai Huaijun who was chatting with someone else and explained.

"Is it related to Mr. Lin?"

Chen Chao looked puzzled and picked up the information again to read it himself.

Hu Lianxin?
Level 18 of Central Academy of Drama?
She did look memorable, but he had never heard Ali mention her.

Chen Chao was looking at the information in his hand while thinking silently in his mind.

After going over it in his mind, Chen Chao had a rough idea in his mind.

I think it's Lin Li's peach blossom debt again, and since Cai Huaijun did this, it should be seen that he also has feelings for this girl, at least he doesn't oppose it. In this case...

Chen Chao handed the information back to Shang Wei and nodded to him.

Shang Wei understood what was meant, and then casually put a check mark next to Hu Lianxin's information.

Chen Chao then took the information of other actresses and looked through them one by one.

While reading, he first pulled out Chen Xiaoyun's information, and then continued to flip through the pages.

After finishing looking through all the information, Chen Chao was about to put it down, but then he paused, took the information back and looked through it for a while, finally took out Chen Yao's information and made a check mark next to it again.

If he remembered correctly, this girl should have something fishy going on with Lin Li. When they were getting intimate, it was Lin Li who personally decided to let Wei Shujun choose her.

Tsk... The crew also includes Xiaotian, Chen Xiaoyun, Chen Yao, and he just found out today that Hu Lianxin is also there.

They probably don't know each other's existence yet, but they are in the same crew, so there is no guarantee that there won't be clues revealed later.

Given Oda's personality, it would be a big deal if he knew about this, hehe!
When Chen Chao thought of that scene, the corners of his mouth began to rise wildly.

Ali, Ali, you can't stand the frequency with which I change girlfriends. I want to see how you would deal with this situation if a conflict breaks out between them.

How exciting!
Compared to other actors out there, Chen Chao’s mentality is actually very relaxed.

The same goes for Shang Wei. Lin Li's original work and the added version, as well as Tian Xiwei, are the core of this story. He is holding a trump card and is not panicking at all.

And it’s not them who are auditioning, they are the examiners and the people outside are the candidates.

At nine o'clock, the morning audition officially began.

After the audition started, Chen Chao began to yawn.

He had not originally planned to come to the audition, but he happened to be playing in Star City. Fortunately, he was so reckless that he posted a video to show off to Lin Li, and was directly drafted into the army.

They showed up at the scene to express Nanxun Culture's importance of the cooperation with Mango, and also helped Lin Li with some chores.

After persisting for more than an hour, Chen Chao could no longer hold on and yawned continuously.

So he said hello to Cai Huaijun and Shang Wei, and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash his face and wake up.

He found a little model to entertain himself yesterday, and he didn't sleep well, so he is in a daze now.

After walking all the way to the bathroom and simply taking care of his physiological problems, Chen Chao went to the sink outside, scooped up some water and rubbed his face vigorously before he finally woke up.

After simply tidying up his hair, Chen Chao prepared to turn around and leave.

"Mr. Chen?"

Chen Chao was called by a voice, stopped and looked back.

The first reaction was...

Is it such a coincidence?
Then, he turned around with great interest.

"Student Hu Lianxin, right?"

"Mr. Chen knows me?"

Hu Lianxin looked at Chen Chao with surprise. She didn't expect that she just tried to say hello to Chen Chao, but he actually knew her.

"Of course I know you. Ali mentioned you to me."

Chen Chao had no idea what the relationship between the girl in front of him and Lin Li was, so he made up something.

"Teacher Nanxun has ever mentioned me to you?"

Hu Lianxin's expression brightened and she stared at Chen Chao with burning eyes.

"Yes, it told me last time when it came back from the Central Academy of Drama that it met a very interesting girl, so I know you."

Chen Chao continued to talk nonsense without blushing or getting nervous.

"Is this what Teacher Nanxun said about me? I thought..."

Hu Lianxin was surprised and wanted to say that she thought Lin Li might think she was too narcissistic and self-indulgent when they first met, but she thought it was inappropriate to say this to Chen Chao, so she quickly shut up.

"Why?"

Chen Chao's eyes lit up and he asked.

It was rare to come across so much gossip, so he was very curious.

"I thought Mr. Nanxun had a general impression of me when we first met. He acted very calmly at the time. I didn't expect him to say this to Mr. Chen. It was just a surprise."

Hu Lianxin smiled slightly and explained softly.

"No, no, he has a very good impression of you. Do you know why I came here this time?"

"He was the one who specifically asked me to come here and make sure you get the role you wanted to audition for."

Chen Chao said with a serious look on his face.

"Yes...it was Teacher Nanxun who asked you to come here?"

"because I?"

Hu Lianxin pointed at herself with her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

"Yeah, there's no need for me to lie to you, right?"

"Anyway, the final result speaks for itself."

Chen Chao spread his hands and chuckled.

"Then he had...oh, I see."

Hu Lianxin suddenly thought of a possibility and shut up again.

"What? Understand what?"

The gossipy look in Chen Chao's eyes grew stronger as he asked.

“It’s nothing, Mr. Chen, I just didn’t expect that Teacher Nanxun turned out to be such an introverted person.”

Hu Lianxin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Yeah, yes, he is a bit more concerned."

Looking at Hu Lianxin's reaction, Chen Chao realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, and the girl in front of him seemed to have misunderstood him.

But the words had already been said, and he was too lazy to explain further.

Anyway, it was Lin Li who solved it in the end, so what does it have to do with him?

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Chen Chao waved goodbye to Hu Lianxin, saying that he still had to audition.

However, as she watched Chen Chao leaving, Hu Lianxin's eyes were filled with excitement.

It turns out that you like me. It turns out that the reason you rejected me last time was just because you had a girlfriend.

but……

So what?

Now that I know your feelings, I won’t be reserved next time we meet.

hey-hey……
