Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 647 The Princess's Routine, a Simple Way
Lucheng, starry night.

It was already around ten o'clock and many people had fallen into a sweet dream.

The night is as dark as ink, gently covering this beautiful coastal area.

Under the moonlight, the sand on the beach glowed with a faint silver glow, like tiny pearls scattered on the ground.

The sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it the salty fragrance of the sea water and the coolness of the night, making people feel a different kind of comfort and pleasure.

The sky is dotted with stars, as if they were countless gems inlaid in the black sky.

The twinkling stars contrast with the lights on the beach, forming a beautiful night sky picture.

The street lights on the beach, the lights from the buildings, and the bright lights of the islands in the distance all seemed particularly bright in this quiet night.

The waves gently hit the shore, making pleasant sounds.

This sound is particularly clear and pleasant in the quiet night, and every beat seems to tell the story of the sea.

Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, there were still many people strolling, chatting or taking pictures on the beach.

Most of them wear light clothes, and many girls put on soft shawls, enjoying the coolness and comfort of the night.

Some people left deep footprints on the beach, while others sat quietly by the sea, listening to the sound of the waves.

Lin Li and Zhang Jingyi walked hand in hand on the beach. Looking at these scenes, their mood became extremely peaceful.

Their bodies were gently covered by a layer of soft moonlight, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze.

The sea breeze gently brushed their faces and ruffled their hair.

Zhang Jingyi's long hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a very atmospheric beauty. After Lin Li noticed it, he gently helped her tidy up her hair and gently brushed away the few strands of hair that were sticking to her face.

Neither of them spoke, but they occasionally looked at each other, and then their eyebrows were involuntarily curved.

They don't need to say much, a look can convey a thousand words.

"Ali, how did you feel when you went to Korea last time?"

"When I was little, I quite liked watching Korean dramas, and my favorite was Stairway to Heaven. I shed so many tears at that time."

"Later, I watched The Heirs and Descendants of the Sun, and I really liked Song Hye Kyo at that time."

"I want to be an actor, and I am also influenced by these dramas."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Jingyi thought of Lin Li going to Korea, raised her little face and asked Lin Li curiously.

"Korea?"

“Not really.”

Lin Li thought about it in his mind and answered casually.

"Huh? How come?"

"From what I've seen in Korean dramas, I feel like Korea should be very developed."

Zhang Jingyi looked puzzled.

"Heh... that's because what you see is what South Korea wants you to see, and it's also the best side that it can show you."

Lin Li chuckled, his expression slightly disdainful.

"Uh, what do you mean?"

Zhang Jingyi's watery eyes were full of curiosity, and her long eyelashes trembled continuously, making her look like a curious kitten.

Lin Li was touched by her adorable look. He raised his hand and pinched her cheek. Then he slowly began to explain in the context of her sweet smile.

"Since 00's "Autumn in My Heart", Korean idol dramas have influenced almost the entire East Asian cultural circle because of their unique tone."

"Most Korean idol dramas tell stories about the second generation of wealthy people who are high up on the social ladder, such as the heirs you just mentioned."

"Korean dramas have become the best filter for Korea. Domestic audiences see a developed and romantic Korea through them."

"But the Korea in entertainment culture and the Korea in reality are actually two different Koreas."

"Idols in Korean dramas live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, and go to aristocratic schools, but in reality, most Koreans live in slums and face great pressure to survive."

"There are many high-rise buildings in Seoul, but there are even more old and dilapidated ones, which are rarely seen in Korean dramas."

"House prices in Seoul are high, and rents are not cheap either. Many people have no choice but to share a house. In these cheap shared houses, not only is the space small, but you also need to pay a deposit and maintenance fees."

“The monthly rent for the cheapest house is about 1500 yuan when converted into domestic currency, but it is definitely the cheapest place in Seoul.”

"In a room like this, you can only put a bed, a table and a closet. The bathroom and kitchen are shared."

"Perhaps for this reason, they like to shoot themes about the second generation of chaebols."

"And the idol culture that South Korea is so proud of is even more of a joke. It looks glamorous on the surface, but in reality, it has a low social status. Even the top idol artists are just like this, and their careers are too short."

"The songs I sang were written by others, the dances I danced were choreographed by others, the persona I used during the interviews was set by the company, and my face was tweaked and reshaped by the company before my debut."

"Perhaps after a long time, they themselves will forget what their true selves are like."

"Idols are produced on an assembly line. When one collapses, there is another one. The next one is not much different from the previous one."

"The status of actors is slightly higher only in comparison with the entertainment industry because of the fierce competition. Therefore, the overall level of acting is good, especially for the younger generation. Compared with the domestic industry, the professional level is still acceptable."

"But there is one thing that the Korean entertainment industry does not lie to people. Many of the things shown in their movies and TV dramas are in line with the actual situation."

Lin Li walked aimlessly holding Zhang Jingyi's hand, describing to her the true face of the Korean entertainment industry, with a hint of emotion in his words.

At this moment, Kim Ji-won's face suddenly flashed through his mind.

Last time, she seemed to have gotten his contact information when she was drunk, but he left in a hurry and didn't give her time to use it.

She starred in both of the two Korean dramas that the princess just mentioned.

And he remembered clearly that she later had a very popular drama called Queen of Tears. It gained quite a lot of popularity when the Korean wave was not very popular in China at that time. During that period, you could often see relevant clips by watching short videos. Those professional outfits and that disdainful expression were really good...

"After hearing this, I still think that China is better."

"Although I've heard some rumors about the Korean entertainment industry before, I didn't expect it to be so different from us."

Zhang Jingyi nodded suddenly and said with emotion.

"Of course, our domestic male and female celebrities have a much higher status than those Korean artists, and the key is that their income is also much higher. Otherwise, why do Korean artists like to come to our mainland to make money?"

Lin Li held her hand tightly and chuckled.

"Then Mr. Nanxun should have received advances from many female artists when he went to Korea last time, right?"

"It's okay, just..."

Lin Li paused and turned his head to look at Zhang Jingyi who had a sly smile on her face.

"Princess, after all this time, you're still waiting for me here?"

Lin Li raised his hand and pinched her smooth little face, saying unhappily.

"No, it just suddenly occurred to me, so I asked."

"After all, our teacher Nan Xun is the one who can paralyze Seoul Incheon Airport. How could those female artists resist exuding their charm to you?"

"And I saw that our teacher Nan Xun took a photo with that South Korean beauty."

"How is she, isn't she beautiful in real life?"

Zhang Jingyi pouted slightly, and as she spoke, it seemed as if jealousy burst out, and her tone was full of sourness.

"I only stayed for two days, and in between I had a dinner with SBS executives, and I also took time to meet with the screenwriter of Squidward Games. I didn't have time to think about these things."

Lin Li stopped and faced Zhang Jingyi, put his hands on her slender waist, and explained helplessly.

At the same time, the beautiful face of Bae Joo-hyun appeared in his mind, and he wondered when to go to Korea to apply a facial mask on her.

Such a beautiful face needs to be well maintained.

"It sounds reasonable, but I don't believe you on this point."

"According to their TV shows, shouldn't there be a group of young and beautiful female idols standing in a row waiting for you to choose?"

"I'm just curious. I've long accepted your issues with men and women. You know that. Tell me about it."

Zhang Jingyi tilted her little face up and looked at him with a generous smile.

If it weren't for the occasional cold light flashing in her eyes, Lin Li would have really believed her lies.

"You're overthinking it. I'm not a chaebol. How could I be so depraved?"

"And no matter how dark the Korean entertainment industry is, it won't be so blatant. What are you thinking about?"

Lin Li tapped her head with his finger and said with amusement.

"Really?"

"There are so many beautiful and sexy female idols with great bodies, but you're not tempted at all?"

Zhang Jingyi looked at Lin Li with suspicion, as if she didn't believe him.

"Those female idols are good to watch, but in comparison, I certainly prefer our princesses. Pretty skins are all the same, but interesting souls are worth exploring."

Lin Li put his arms around her waist, pulled her into his arms, and said with a loving look on his face.

But I can't let her keep asking me this question. If I accidentally let it slip, she'll be really jealous.

"Oh I see."

"It means I'm not pretty."

Zhang Jingyi folded her hands over her chest, looking very angry.

Lin Li was stunned and looked at her blankly.

No, is that how it is understood?
Then he caught the mischievous smile in her eyes.

This girl is really naughty.

In that case, he won't be polite.

"Princess."

"Ok?"

"look into my eyes."

"what?"

"No~"

Zhang Jingyi looked at the face that was suddenly so close to her and was a little dazed for a moment.

It was not until she felt a tingling sensation on her lips that she realized Lin Li had kissed her.

This person, why doesn't he say hello again?

Then, she was slowly swallowed up by Lin Li's breath. Her eyes gradually became unfocused and her body became limp, relying entirely on Lin Li's hands for support.

Lin Li looked at the girl who had instantly become obedient in front of him, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Sure enough, this method is the simplest.
