Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 679: Outliers in the Top Circle, Warning
After breakfast, Lin Li was taken out for a walk by Sister Meng, while Zhou Ye went back upstairs to change clothes and put on makeup.

She is a female star after all, it is impossible for her to go out in such a sloppy manner.

As for Zhang Han...

No one cares about him.

As a result, Lin Li and Meng Ziyi ran into Su Mang, Shu Qi and Zhou Jie as soon as they went out and stopped them.

"Teacher Nanxun, it's a pleasure to meet you. We are planning to hold an indoor fashion show this afternoon, and we, the residents of Wu, will participate. I would like to invite you to join us. Are you interested?"

Su Mang took a step forward and asked very politely.

Shu Qi and Zhou Jie were also looking at him expectantly, showing that the three of them had reached a consensus.

Lin Li was not surprised by this. After all, these three people often got together in the show in the previous life. They were of similar age and had the same hobbies. They all liked to visit exhibitions, or in other words, they all liked things related to "art".

"I can do whatever I want. I have nothing to do anyway."

Lin Li glanced at Meng Ziyi and saw that she looked eager to try, so he nodded in response.

"That's great. I will invite local villagers to be the audience and they will rate our fashion show."

"I believe that Teacher Yinanxun's appearance will definitely bring us surprises and gain support from many villagers."

Su Mang was overjoyed when he saw Lin Li agreed.

"I have never had much sense of fashion, but the important thing is to participate, and it's nice for us to have fun together."

Lin Li smiled calmly and said it was nothing.

"Yes, what Teacher Nanxun said makes sense. The main thing is that we get together to do something interesting. This is also in line with the purpose of our program to explore the relationship between people."

Su Mang agreed with a smile.

Ever since she was ousted from the editor-in-chief position of Harper's Bazaar by people in Lin Li's circle, she no longer dared to show the slightest disrespect to people like them.

The ups and downs during this period made her realize that the identity and glory she was proud of before were just things that some people disdained.

It’s okay if they don’t find you annoying on weekdays, but once they find you annoying, they can make you nothing in the midst of conversation.

For example, the teacher Nan Xun in front of her, although not in the top circle, often deals with this circle. She has known Lin Li for a long time.

In her understanding, Lin Li has always been an outlier in the top circle.

He is too young.

He is so young that many people joke that if they want to meet him, they have to go to the National People's Congress.

After all, he is a serious college student.

His identity as a writer allows him to remain confident no matter what level of people he faces.

For example, even the now successful teacher Ma has to call him Teacher Nanxun in front of Lin Li.

This is the social status of top writers.

This is especially true in China, a land with thousands of years of traditional thinking.

In many celebrity cocktail parties she attended, many bigwigs had mentioned in conversation that they wanted to meet Teacher Nan Xun. A few second-generation people wanted to please their families and planned to go to the National People's Congress to "invite" Teacher Nan Xun. However, when their families found out, they were locked up and beaten severely, and were also locked up and confined for a period of time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the National People’s Congress is behind this teacher Nan Xun.

Lin Li’s wealth has always been a mystery. Nanxun Culture is not listed, so people can only roughly calculate his wealth based on their company’s projects.

This does not include his royalties, physical book sales, and related copyright fees over the years.

But some people have roughly estimated that his personal wealth is a figure enough to make it into the Forbes rich list, and Nanxun Culture has no debt.

Some companies have calculated that based on Nanxun Culture’s current development trend, once it goes public, its market value will exceed 200 billion yuan in a short period of time, or even higher!

So far, no domestic film and television company has reached this level.

So some people started to take advantage of Lin Li's situation and wanted to get involved before Nanxun Culture went public.

Almost all of these people have received warnings from all sides, including those in the political and business circles, before they have taken any action.

Even, there is the above meaning.

The cultural industry is very special.

It's so special that even if you keep spending money, you may not necessarily get anything out of it.

For example, the current three major video platforms, and Wanda Pictures.

Behind them are several top domestic Internet companies including Penguin, Ali, Baidu, and the real estate company Wanda.

Don’t they have any money?
They have plenty of money.

But after spending so much money, the company has been suffering losses for years and has not made any progress.

On the other hand, Mr. Nan Xun, contrary to everyone's expectations, crossed over to become a director and opened a film and television company, which puzzled many people. Most of them thought that he was just doing it for fun.

However, his performance was beyond everyone's expectations. In two years, none of Nanxun Culture's works failed, and the related income from TV series and movies was nearly 10 billion, which stunned everyone.

Quietly, Nanxun Culture has gradually become a representative company in the domestic cultural and entertainment industry.

Coincidentally, the higher-ups also need a strong and established company to serve as the face of the domestic entertainment industry and export Chinese culture to the world.

As a student of Renmin University, Lin Li has won great recognition from above through projects such as Glory, Tragedy, and Youth.

Driven by the power of the National People's Congress, Nanxun Culture has long been given a significance different from that of ordinary film and television companies.

If we don't support a company that is able to continuously launch popular products on its own and has positive energy, should we support those that lose money?
Su Mang estimated that if she attended those gatherings of celebrities in Beijing, she would definitely be chased after by those second- and third-generation socialites.

Their families would also be happy to see this happen. But what is unexpected is that this teacher Nan Xun is actually having hot relationships with many female stars in the entertainment industry, and it seems that he is quite serious about it, not just a casual relationship.

Originally, for someone of Lin Li's status, it didn't matter. It was normal for him to play with female celebrities, and it was also a good thing for a talented man to be romantic.

But if you are serious about it, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, the photos and videos that were exposed about Lin Li last time were obviously his own doing. Is he actively tarnishing his own reputation?

Many people suspected that Teacher Nan Xun also intended to use this opportunity to politely reject some families' offers to recruit him as a son-in-law.

Now Lin Li has not graduated yet, and many people are waiting, but once he graduates, olive branches from various top families will surely come to him.

His own revelation did indeed make many families that were originally interested hesitate.

After all, some things are one thing to know, but it’s a different story once you reveal them.

So after going through all these things, Su Mang dared not be the slightest bit disrespectful to the teacher Nan Xun who seemed so easy to talk to.

This is also a man of considerable means.

"That's it, what's the specific time?"

Lin Li had no idea what was going on in Su Mang's mind, so he asked casually.

"We are going to start the activity at three o'clock in the afternoon. Teacher Nanxun is welcome to come then."

Su Mang introduced with a smile.

"Okay, see you later then. I'll go get ready too."

"No restrictions required, right?"

Lin Li thought about it and asked another question.

“There are no restrictions, no limit on the subject, anything that you think is novel or interesting is fine.”

Su Mang waved his hand and explained with a smile.

"Okay, those guys go ahead and do their thing. We'll go back and get ready."

After confirming that everything was correct, Lin Li, Su Mang and the other two said goodbye.

Then, with the responses from the three people, Lin Li took Meng Ziyi back to the living room on the first floor and began to discuss the fashion show in the afternoon.

He had no experience in this kind of thing, so he discussed it with Sister Meng with great interest, as she was experienced after all, and with a playful attitude.

Not long after, Zhang Han came over after hearing the news. Zhou Ye, who had changed his clothes and put on makeup, also joined in excitedly. However, Lai Guanlin was nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, in the meeting room of Taohuawu program group.

Lai Guanlin sat upright in his chair, and opposite him were director Chi Yuan, Xie Dikui, chief screenwriter Zhou Chunan, and six other core members of the program team.

Originally, Chi Yuan wanted to let Xie Dikui talk to Lai Guanlin, but after thinking about it, he was still worried, so he came out together.

"Does the production team have the right to intervene in my personal emotional issues?"

Lai Guanlin looked at Chi Yuan and others in front of him with a grim expression.

He had originally backed out because of Lin Li's appearance, and Zhou Ye's attitude also made him realize that he was being too sentimental. However, being warned so seriously by the production team again made him feel very humiliated, and he even developed a rebellious mentality.

"Originally, the production team has no control over your personal behavior, but your behavior may make Teacher Nan Xun unhappy. If he is unhappy, it will be a problem whether our program can be launched online."

"So it's very simple. If you don't listen to our advice, we will find a reason to get you off the bus early."

Xie Dikui looked at him expressionlessly and said bluntly.

"We have signed a contract. If you ask me to leave early, I will definitely sue your production team!"

Lai Guanlin's expression changed, and then he leaned forward and shouted angrily at several people.

"Ah……"

Xie Dikui couldn't help but laugh out loud, and he, Chi Yuan and Zhou Chunan looked at each other, feeling as if they had heard some huge joke.

"What are you laughing at?"

"what's so funny!"

Lai Guanlin felt that he was being despised and raised his voice again.

"I suggest you figure this out. If you behave yourself, we won't prosecute you."

"Everyone is doing well."

"But if you overestimate your own abilities and want to sue us, can you bear the consequences?"

"Perhaps, you should have heard of Nanshan Pizza Hut?"

After saying the last sentence, Xie Dikui couldn't help but laugh, and Chi Yuan and Zhou Chunan also laughed.

This really sounds a little too funny.

Lai Guanlin's expression tightened, and then changed rapidly.

After more than ten seconds, he sat back dejectedly, looking distraught.

"I understand. I will obey."

Lai Guanlin's weak voice was heard in the conference room.
