Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 706: The target of public criticism

Red carpet waiting area.

A group of celebrity artists and guests who paid some attention to the entertainment industry looked at the two people who had just entered with interest.

The media, however, were different. They looked excited and kept taking pictures of the two men and women who had just entered the entrance.

These two are very popular!
The people who came were Chen Kun and Zhang Jingyi.

Zhou Xun did not attend the Weibo Night, so Chen Kun and Zhang Jingyi came together.

What is more interesting is that Chen Kun suffered a career setback this year because of The Rise of Phoenixes, and he has been engaged in a constant verbal battle with Shonan TV, which has not stopped until now.

As a well-known figure in the entertainment industry and a once popular actor, Chen Kun's commercial value has been greatly reduced and his reputation has declined significantly after this incident.

However, as a contracted artist of Dongshen, Zhang Jingyi's situation is exactly the opposite of his.

As of now, almost none of the female stars present at the scene can compare to her now.

Of the thousands of fans now gathered outside the Cadillac Center and those who have already entered the inner venue, nearly half are fans of Lin Li and her, as well as fans of the CP of Mingyun Xunhuan.

In the past December, it is no exaggeration to say that she is the most popular actress in the entire domestic entertainment industry.

The phenomenal performance of "Ignite" made Zhang Jingyi, an actress who was already famous for Fengquan, directly become a top female star. Her popularity is approaching that of Reba, Zhang Ruonan and Yang Zi, the three top young actresses born in the 90s.

Her overall performance is a little worse than Reba's, but in terms of recent popularity, she is definitely the number one.

Everyone at the scene knew that Lin Li would also be present at the Weibo Night ceremony today, and whether from their previously exposed relationship or the popularity of the drama that had just aired, the two would definitely be the center of discussion tonight.

They were all very curious about what kind of attitude Lin Li would have when he faced Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Ruonan and others who were present at the same time.

Thinking of this, the media became even more excited.

This is their key goal tonight, and this month’s KPI depends on them!
Zhang Jingyi followed Chen Kun obediently from the moment she entered the venue, watching him greet a group of friends in the circle and introduce himself to them, and then listening to their compliments and humbly greeting them.

After going through the whole process, Zhang Jingyi felt that such social occasions were much more tiring than when she was filming, and she was physically and mentally exhausted.

After finally saying hello, Zhang Jingyi and Chen Kun sat down next to Liu Ye, and the first thing she did after sitting down was to let out a long sigh of relief.

"Jingyi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Chen Kun, holding a thermos cup in his hand, turned around and said with concern.

Zhang Jingyi is now an actress that Dongshen is promoting, so there can't be any mistakes.

Everyone in their company thought highly of her, and coupled with her well-behaved personality, every time Zhou Xun saw her he would hug her and not let go.

They also knew the relationship between her and Lin Li.

As her popularity grew, it could be said that Zhang Jingyi was the most profitable artist in their entire company, including him, so of course she had to be treated like a treasure.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Zhang Jingyi shook her head slightly and smiled at him.

"I still don't participate often enough, mainly because you are still in school and don't have that much time. Otherwise, with your current popularity, there would be plenty of opportunities like this."

Chen Kun said in a gentle manner.

"Well, I'll just adapt to it."

Zhang Jingyi nodded and said softly.

Chen Kun felt relieved when he saw this. He smiled and nodded, then started chatting with Liu Ye and Lin Zhiling beside him.

Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly upon seeing this, and sat in her seat obediently. She wanted to take out her cell phone to ask Lin Li when he would arrive, but she felt that it was not appropriate.

Because it seems like there are a lot of people paying attention to her.

As soon as she sat down, the air around her seemed to fluctuate subtly.

Those curious or scrutinizing gazes shot from all directions like a dense rain of arrows, especially from many female stars, whose eyes were mixed with jealousy and inquiry, and whispers buzzed around.

Zhang Jingyi sighed secretly, straightened her back, folded her hands casually on her knees, with a faint smile on her face, that smile seemed engraved on the mask, motionless.

Her eyes were calm, like a deep lake, and she was oblivious to the noisy glances and whispers.

However, only she herself knew that beneath the calm appearance, her heart was beating like a wildly beating drum, with each beat carrying a tense tremor.

The palms of my hands were slightly sweaty, and the fine beads of sweat spread out to form tiny, imperceptible wet marks in the warm down jacket pockets.

She kept taking deep breaths in her heart, trying to calm herself down, telling herself over and over again that it was nothing and it was okay, but the feeling of being on edge wouldn't go away.

Could you please stop staring at me!

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but scream in her heart.

But how could the celebrities present at the scene, especially the female celebrities, not stare at her?
Lin Li is a top star in the circle whose popularity is extremely high. Who wouldn't want to cooperate with him?
Before Zhang Jingyi, they didn't even dare to think about it.

Although everyone was cheering happily before, it was just talk.

Lin Li is such a great writer, and now he is also a famous director with brilliant achievements. It doesn't look like he would act in a movie, let alone an idol drama?
But he really starred in the film, and the heroine was Zhang Jingyi, a lucky girl who was previously unknown.

Envy?
of course!

Jealousy?
Of course I’m jealous!

I can’t wait to replace it!
We are all human beings, and I don't see how special she is. How come she was chosen?!
"Jingyi, this way."

"Jingyi!"

At this time, Zhang Jingyi heard someone calling her name. She looked up in the direction of the voice and saw several familiar figures not far away.

"Xiaohui! Pengpeng!"

A surprised smile appeared on Zhang Jingyi's pretty face, and she waved over there.

Then, she turned around and informed Chen Kun, then stood up and walked towards them quickly. The people who called Zhang Jingyi were naturally Mao Xiaohui and Wan Peng from the Ignition crew, and Lin Yi and He Yu also followed.

When they met again, several girls were particularly excited. They couldn't help cheering from time to time during the conversation, attracting the attention of people around them.

Looking at the people who ignited the crew, many people around them showed envious expressions.

After the drama became a hit, all of them were promoted to higher-profile roles and received tangible benefits. These are the benefits brought by a phenomenal hit drama.

"Jingyi, long time no see, you are really amazing now."

At this time, Eddie Peng also came forward and greeted Zhang Jingyi, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Pom Peng, long time no see!"

Zhang Jingyi looked at Peng Yuchang in surprise and gently tapped him on the shoulder.

"Jingyi, you are amazing now. I was worried before I came here just now, afraid that you would pretend not to know me, hahaha!"

Eddie Peng said with a grin on his face.

"That's true. May I ask who you are?"

"It looks somewhat familiar."

Zhang Jingyi raised the corners of her lips and joked along with his words.

"Yo~ Junior sister is really famous now. I can't even remember all the male leads I've worked with."

"That won't do, Junior Sister."

Peng Yuchang was about to answer when he was interrupted by a voice suddenly coming from behind him.

When they turned their heads, a standard beautiful face instantly came into their sight.

Beside her, there were several pretty faces with different styles. They came together, looking quite menacing.

"Senior sister, you are joking. Peng Peng and I are very good friends. I was just joking just now."

Zhang Jingyi's eyes fixed, she glanced at Zhou Ye and the others who came with ill intentions, and said with a forced smile.

"Is that so? It seems I misunderstood. I thought you, Junior Sister, wouldn't be such a complacent person."

"Junior sister, don't you think so?"

Zhou Ye looked at Zhang Jingyi in front of him. The fake smile on his face was like a mask that anyone could see through.

"Well, Jingyi and I were just joking."

Eddie Peng glanced at the people present and explained weakly.

I can't afford it!

None of these ladies are someone he can afford to offend!
Zhou Ye glanced at him and said nothing.

Everyone could tell it was a joke, she was just taking advantage of the situation.

"Of course, Senior Sister, you know me."

"After all, when we were joking around in the past, you were the first one to tease me. Do you remember that, Senior Sister?"

Zhang Jingyi curled up the corners of her lips slightly and said with an innocent expression.

Mao Xiaohui and a few others on the side looked at her in surprise. It was the first time they saw Zhang Jingyi being so aggressive, and they secretly gave her a thumbs up in their hearts.

"Really? I can't quite remember."

Zhou Ye raised the corner of his eye, but the smile on his face did not diminish.

"It's okay. After all, Senior Sister always gives in to me. She even raised her hand during the audition. Otherwise, how would I have the chance to play Zhu Yun?"

A mocking smile appeared on Zhang Jingyi's face, and she spoke in a light voice.

Zhou Ye's smile faded, and his face was instantly covered with a layer of ice.

"Junior sister is different now that she's famous. Several of us auditioned at the time. Who are you trying to bully?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Meng Ziyi walked forward and questioned in her unique tone.

"Meng Meng, don't talk nonsense. How could Jingyi be like what you said?"

Li Yitong patted Meng Ziyi's shoulder and said with a reproachful expression.

"Tongtong is right. Jingyi definitely doesn't mean that."

Zhang Ruonan had just the right smile on her face and spoke in a leisurely tone.

Wang Churan watched this scene from the side with a twinkle in his eyes and a barely perceptible curve at the corner of his lips.

The smile on Zhang Jingyi's face gradually froze, and she was speechless for a moment when faced with the suggestive words of several people.

Mao Xiaohui and the others were anxious when they saw this, but when they thought about their relationship with Lin Li, they did not dare to speak casually.

"Why, are you guys playing a double act?"

"So what if that's what you mean?"

"It's just facts."

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded behind Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy and she turned around to look behind her.

Then, a face with a sweet smile came into her sight.
