Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 7 Xiaotian
The next morning, Lin Li landed at Shanghai Pudong Airport.

The first feeling when I stepped out of the cabin was that the south was indeed under magical attack. Although the temperature seemed much higher than that in the capital, the degree of coldness was not much better.

After seeing off Chen Duling and others yesterday, Lin Li also left in the afternoon. He returned to the school dormitory, packed his clothes, and set off overnight to the hotel near the airport to rest, and then took the earliest flight to Shanghai.

Before going to the Mushroom House, he had already made a shooting plan and the script was ready.

Once you have a plan, all you have to do is execute it.

Seven years of preparation, if you don't take action, then nothing will happen, but if you do, you will make a big splash.

The purpose of coming to Shanghai this time is to finalize the candidate for the female lead. As the soul of the show, the female lead is of paramount importance.

He asked Teacher Huang to contact a friend of his at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. After confirming that the person he was looking for was at the school, he headed straight to the Magic City.

After taking a taxi to the vicinity of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Lin Li found a hotel nearby. After putting down his luggage, he simply washed up and went to sleep.

Having lived in Shanghai for ten years in his previous life, he was too familiar with this place and had no interest in strolling around.

I slept until noon, then woke up and ordered some takeout for a simple meal.

Then wash your hair, do a simple hairstyle, and change clothes all in one go.

A white base sweater paired with black trousers, white canvas shoes, and a camel coat, and you're done.

When you meet someone for the first time, you still have to make a good impression.

"Tsk... I'm a talent-oriented person!"

Lin Li sighed at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, then turned around and walked out.

Next to the Huashan Road campus of Shanghai Theatre Academy is the Shanghai Theatre Academy Art Bookstore.

The bookstore is located on the first floor of No. 620 Huashan Road. Of course, it is only one floor, but it is still quite spacious.

The middle and back wall areas are filled with books. There are several cultural and creative areas on the left side with a lot of stationery. Probably students from the same school can come here to buy.

On the far left is a coffee shop. After ordering drinks and snacks, you can go to the tea break area on the right hand side of the entrance.

When you come in, you must look at books first. There are many books on acting in film and television dramas, which look very professional.

The walnut bookshelf in the distance displays more other categories, including literature, art, psychology, and history. Lin Li thinks that his classmates from the Shanghai Theatre Academy will probably visit this place often.

It is said that there are books that can be borrowed for free, especially many imported foreign books.

It seems that you can apply for a membership card and directly borrow books from the "Shanghai Theatre Academy Library".

Lin Li was just flipping through it casually when he had free time, and accidentally saw a collection of Mu Xin's lecture quotations compiled by Teacher Chen Danqing. It happened to be something he had wanted to learn about recently, and he was very happy to have found a treasure.

After buying the book, I also bought a cup of hazelnut latte and found a comfortable sofa to sit down and rest.

The green velvet sofa in the store is very retro in design, and I felt it, and it is very comfortable no matter how you sit on it.

The seats were spacious, no one was talking, and it was very quiet.

Moreover, there are not many cars on Huashan Road and it is not noisy, which is very suitable for reading or meeting.

Black and white checkered floor tiles, red velvet curtains, and movie posters hanging on the wooden walls.

It is said that the bookstore holds lecture activities from time to time, and there should be many professionals participating, after all, it is an "academic" bookstore.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a beautiful figure walked into the bookstore. Lin Li recognized her at a glance as the person he was waiting for, so he folded the page of the book and closed it, waiting for the girl to come over.

After entering the room, the girl looked around, then quickly locked her eyes on him and walked straight towards him.

As the girl approached, Lin Li's first feeling was that she was quite tall.

Then, the eyes are really big!
The girl was wearing a beige faux lambskin jacket, a Korean-style bear sweater, blue jeans, and classic Converse flat shoes. She looked tall and slender.

A short round face with full collagen, cat-like round eyes with bangs, a pair of big eyes with bright eyes, and a strong sense of comics.

"Hello, is this Teacher Nanxun?"

The girl walked up to Lin Li, stopped, and asked cautiously.

"Hello, classmate Tian Xiwei, my name is Lin Li, and my pen name is Nanxun."

Lin Li stood up and responded.

At the same time, I felt in my heart that she is indeed a sweet girl. This soft voice is really unfair, and when I looked closer, her eyes were even bigger.

"Ahh! It's really Nanxun! I like you so much, I've read all your books! You look so young, I almost didn't recognize you! You are so handsome, Nanxun, I really didn't expect you to be so young, it's incredible!"

After getting Lin Li's affirmation, Tian Xiwei seemed to have been unsealed. She grabbed Lin Li's arm and began to shake it excitedly, looking like a crazy fan.

"Stop, stop, stop. This is a bookstore. Let's control our emotions and sit down to talk!"

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled Tian Xiwei to sit down.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the bookstore at this time, and the few people who were choosing books just glanced over here and didn't pay much attention.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm so excited, but I'm really your fan. I've been watching your works since junior high school."

After Tian Xiwei sat down, she realized that the noise she made just now was a bit too loud. She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and explained in a low voice.

"I can see that. Thank you for your love and support. Let's have a drink and chat slowly. We have plenty of time."

Lin Li smiled and comforted Tian Xiwei, then asked.

"I'll just go American, thank you."

Tian Xiwei's mood gradually calmed down at this time. She tidied her bangs and said obediently.

"OK, wait."

Looking at Lin Li who stood up to buy her coffee, Tian Xiwei felt particularly magical.

Yesterday, during her acting class, she was suddenly called over by Professor Xiao from their acting department. At first, she thought she was being criticized for her poor performance.

What she didn't expect was that Professor Xiao told her that Teacher Nan Xun wanted to meet her and had a role for her to try out. She suddenly felt like she had found a piece of cake. Who is Nan Xun? !

Ever since several 85 flowers became famous by starring in film and television dramas adapted from his works, Nan Xun has become the most popular writer in the circle.

It can be said that, to some extent, Nan Xun’s status in the hearts of many actors in the circle is higher than that of some well-known directors!

After all, even great directors can make mistakes sometimes, but Nan Xun has never made a mistake so far!

And from a personal perspective, she started reading Nanxun's books in junior high school, and until now, she is a member of Nanxun's official fan club.

She had high expectations for this meeting.

She has always been a very ambitious person. Although she has a sweet face, she has never been a weak person.

As a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing, she actually has a very hot temper!

After seeing Lin Li, Tian Xiwei was even more surprised.

There have been many speculations in the circle about Nanxun's true appearance. Before coming here, Tian Xiwei had imagined that Nanxun might be a pot-bellied uncle, a greasy middle-aged man, or a shy otaku.
But when she saw Lin Li for the first time, she knew that he was Nan Xun.

With his calm and elegant temperament, three-dimensional facial features, tall and straight figure, and a mouth that always had a faint smile, Tian Xiwei suddenly felt like the hero in a novel finally had a face.

"I must get the role of Nanxun!"

Tian Xiwei silently cheered herself up in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of the power of her idol or something else.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Li brought the coffee back and placed it in front of Tian Xiwei. Looking at her dazed look, he asked curiously.

"Huh? Nothing, nothing!"

"Thank you, Nanxun, for the coffee. I was just wondering if I was dreaming. I really met Nanxun. It felt unreal."

Tian Xiwei also came to her senses at this time, hurriedly thanked him and began to explain.

"Then let's talk business. Does Mr. Tian have any experience in filming?"

Lin Li didn't explore further and started talking about business.

"Not yet, but I have been studying acting hard in school. Professor Xiao can attest to this. My performance in school is still good."

When talking about serious matters, Tian Xiwei's expression became serious and she actively gave herself extra points.

"It's okay, I believe you."

"But since you are a fan of my books, I have a work called "So Cute We Are". I wonder if you have read it?"

Lin Li didn't really care about Tian Xiwei's acting skills. After all, he had the memories of his past life, and he knew the potential of this girl in front of him, and he also knew how suitable she was for the role in this work. He was just chatting with her as a routine. Otherwise, it would be too abrupt to suddenly come over and choose her as the female lead.

"I have seen it, I have seen it. I particularly like Huang Chengzi. Are you going to film this work? Great, this was my favorite work when I was in high school!"

Tian Xiwei became excited again after hearing Lin Li's words, and her little mouth started to speak like a machine gun again.

"Yes, don't get excited."

"I'm one year older than you, so I'll call you Xiaotian."

"Xiaotian, since you have read this book, can you tell me about your understanding of the character Huang Chengzi?"

Lin Li looked at Tian Xiwei, who was moving like a rabbit, somewhat helplessly. He soothed her with a gentle voice and asked her what she thought of Huang Chengzi.

He could also tell that Tian Xiwei must have read the original novel.

"Oh, hey, I'm a little excited."

Tian Xiwei shrank her neck and said a little embarrassedly.

"Huang Chengzi is the little princess of the compound. She is spoiled by the elders and protected by her friends. She seems happy and carefree, but in fact, although Huang Chengzi appears to be carefree, she is actually very thoughtful."

"Tan Song lost his mother when he was young, and Huang Chengzi has been avoiding him, fearing that Tan Song would be sad."

"Tan Song insisted on being Liu Gaoxu's bodyguard when he was taking extra classes with him. She explained that he also wanted to take extra classes with her, and she pinched Tan Song to say thank you together."

"On the bus to Jiangxia for the essay competition, Liu Gaoxu sat with them under the pretext of discussing the competition. When Tan Song pretended to be sick, Huang Chengzi ran over and asked him why his face was so red and whether it was serious. He even arrogantly asked him to lean on his shoulder to rest."

"So Huang Chengzi is actually a rough but thoughtful person with a warm personality. He also has a boyish side. He is loyal and willing to stand up for his friends."

Tian Xiwei first pondered quietly for a moment, and then analyzed the character of Huang Chengzi in great detail, which was better than Lin Li expected.

"That's very well said, Xiaotian. I can tell that you really like the character Huang Chengzi. Do you think you can play this character well if you were asked to play her?"

Lin Li first affirmed Tian Xiwei's answer, then asked her back with a smile.

"Ah, me? As for me, I will definitely try my best to play her well. You have to believe me, Nanxun, I can definitely do it."

When Tian Xiwei heard Lin Li's words, her eyes widened instantly and she began to make her promise haltingly.

Although she had some expectations in her heart, when the pie really fell on her head, Tian Xiwei still couldn't control her excitement.

On the one hand, it is because I can play my favorite role, and on the other hand, this is a work that Nan Xun will direct himself!
As an ambitious person who aspires to become a big star, she certainly knows what a great opportunity this is!
With the gimmick that Nan Xun is directing the show himself for the first time, the show is already half successful!
"Haha, don't get excited. Xiaotian, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance."

"The role of Huang Chengzi is yours."

Lin Li raised the coffee in his hand and gestured to Tian Xiwei, then smiled.

Looking at the excited big-eyed cute girl in front of him, Lin Li felt a bit like a nurturing girl.

A scene from a penguin party in his previous life suddenly emerged in his mind: Oda's angelic face, devilish outfit, and the way she walked with the wind, with surging waves in front of her!
"Ah~ What a sin!"

I am still a student who has just reached adulthood!
