Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 727: Amazing, you just caught me alone?
"Hey, Mr. Hua Shao, I have a suggestion!"

At the Weibo Night, seeing Hua Shao's eyes constantly wandering in the direction of the intimate crew, Lin Li quickly raised his hand to signal.

As soon as Lin Li raised his hand, the whole audience's attention was instantly focused on him, and the audience burst into cheers.

"Oh, Teacher Nanxun, please tell me what you have to suggest."

Hua Shao's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked down to the stage, bent over and handed the microphone to Lin Li.

He originally wanted to find a few actresses in the intimate crew, and then let Zhou Xingchi and Lin Li comment on their performances. Wouldn't that create a hot topic soon?
Since Lin Li took the initiative to speak, that would be even better.

Lin Li took the microphone and nodded to Hua Shao in thanks.

"It's like this, Mr. Hua Shao. I think it's a bit embarrassing to let so many beautifully dressed actresses here today perform childbirth. Wouldn't it be more interesting to let the male actors here perform it?"

"What do you think, Mr. Xing?"

Lin Li first made suggestions to Hua Shao, and then looked at Zhou Xingchi on the stage.

"Since Teacher Nanxun has spoken, then of course it's fine~"

"Does Teacher Nanxun have any candidates to recommend?"

Zhou Xingchi responded in his non-standard Hong Kong Mandarin.

He was smiling and seemed to be very interested in Lin Li's proposal.

"Then let me take a look first."

Lin Li nodded slightly to Zhou Xingchi, then stood up and turned around to scan the crowd.

As soon as he stood up, he caused enthusiastic cheers from the audience. The entire auditorium was lit up almost instantly. Fans waved light boards and glow sticks, turning the auditorium into a sea of ​​stars.

Of course the director knew what the fans wanted to see, and he immediately and sensibly cut the camera to Lin Li.

On the big screen, he stood tall, wearing a finely tailored suit and a dark coat. The fabric was of high-quality texture, reflecting a low-key and luxurious luster under the light.

Every line fits his body shape, perfectly showing his tall and straight figure.

On his handsome facial features, his eyes are deep and bright, and his thin lips are slightly raised with a faint smile.

The audience seats instantly boiled over, and cheers surged like a tide, one wave higher than the other.

Fans excitedly waved their glow sticks and shouted his name loudly, their voices echoing throughout the event.

“Nanda is so handsome!”

"Li Xun, I love you!"

"Nanda, kill me!"

"Wow! That's so cool!"

"I want to be NTU's dog!"

"Nanda, look at me, ahhhh! I'm dead!"

……

The female stars in the guest seats couldn't help but glance sideways, looking at Lin Li's figure with flickering eyes.

Compared to the audience seats, the guest seats are much quieter.

All the male actors focused their attention on Lin Li, with anticipation and nervousness in their eyes.

On the one hand, being able to show up in front of Lin Li and Zhou Xingchi is definitely a great opportunity.

On the other hand, they have never played the role of a pregnant woman.

But what if one of Zhou Xingchi or Lin Li takes a fancy to me?

Some of them leaned forward slightly, trying to make themselves more conspicuous, while others calmly adjusted their collars, preparing for possible opportunities.

There were also many audience members in the audience who were waving their glow sticks excitedly and shouting the names of the actors they supported, hoping to influence Lin Li's choice.

Lin Li looked around the guest seats, and wherever his eyes went, he could clearly feel many passionate gazes.

When their eyes met Zhou Ye and others, they all blinked at him at the same time.

Especially Zhang Ruonan and others from the intimate crew, they naturally felt that Hua Shao had just locked his eyes on them.

Not to mention whether I could act well or not, just thinking about playing a pregnant woman in front of so many people was embarrassing.

Now that Lin Li had rescued them, they were naturally overjoyed.

Lin Li was not in a position to respond to them in front of the camera, so he kept his expression unchanged and continued to scan.

Finally, his eyes fell on Eddie Peng.

"Pumbaa, let me see if your acting has improved recently."

Lin Li raised his hand and gestured to him familiarly.

"Okay, Director Lin, I'll build up my emotions!"

When Peng Yuchang was named, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face and said happily.

"Well, I look forward to your performance."

Lin Li smiled and nodded.

Seeing that Lin Li chose Peng Yuchang, many people at the scene showed disappointment in their eyes, but they did not dare to show it too obviously and could only grit their teeth secretly.

Almost everyone in the industry present knew that Eddie Peng had a close relationship with Lin Li. When they saw that Lin Li chose him again this time, they suddenly felt even more jealous.

One is Eddie Peng and the other is Hou Minghao, these male actors are very envious of them.

Listen to how Peng Yuchang addressed Lin Li. They could only respectfully call him Teacher Nan Xun, but he always called Lin Li Director Lin, which made the address seem much more intimate.

Soon, the scene became quiet and Peng Yuchang's performance began.

In front of the camera, he first took a few deep breaths, and soon his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, each of which was crystal clear and rolled down his cheeks.

His brows were tightly knitted together, forming deep grooves, and his facial muscles were trembling slightly with extreme pain.

Lin Li's eyes narrowed and he concentrated instantly.

On stage, Zhou Xingchi looked at Peng Yuchang's extremely clear facial expression on the big screen and showed a hint of surprise.

He originally thought that Lin Li just wanted to let an actor he was familiar with show his face, but he didn't expect that there was something real.

Eddie Peng's performance continues.

His hands were tightly gripping the handles of the seat beside him, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.

His body twisted constantly, his waist arched and dropped, as if he was trying to find a position that would relieve the pain, but it all seemed in vain.

He was gasping for air, his breathing rapid and heavy, each breath accompanied by a painful groan.

The sound coming from his throat was hoarse and shrill, as if he was enduring the most extreme pain in the world.

His eyes were sometimes closed and sometimes wide open, filled with fear, helplessness and anticipation for the arrival of new life. The complex emotions intertwined together made everyone deeply feel the tension and torment.

Many people in the guest seats showed surprised expressions, and many people who were not professional actors could see that Peng Yuchang's performance was extremely wonderful.

After more than ten seconds, Eddie Peng slowly returned to normal, then bowed to Lin Li and Zhou Xingchi on the stage respectively.

"Director Lin, Master Xing, my performance is over."

After standing up straight, Eddie Peng looked at Lin Li expectantly, waiting for his evaluation.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Li, waiting for him to speak.

Under the gaze of the whole audience, Lin Li remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and gave Peng Yuchang a thumbs up.

"Pumbaa, the performance was great. I was amazed."

Lin Li praised sincerely.

He also didn't expect that Peng Peng's acting skills had improved so much.

After receiving Lin Li's affirmation, Peng Yuchang breathed a sigh of relief, grinned to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, and had a brilliant smile.

At the same time, warm applause broke out from the audience.

Peng Yuchang's performance just now really amazed them. This is something real and there is no way to criticize it.

"It's indeed a good performance, Eddie Peng, right?"

"I remember you."

Zhou Xingchi then began to comment.

Eddie Peng happily bowed to him repeatedly and then sat down.

Hua Shao originally wanted to ask Lin Li to order a few more people, but Lin Li waved his hands and declined.

His goal had been achieved, and there was no need to continue.

Seeing this, Hua Shao didn't want to force it, so he worked with the host Zhang Dada to select a few popular new actors and idol singers to give it a try.

The result was naturally horrible, not to mention with the excellent performance of Eddie Peng, these people's performances seemed even worse and it was simply unbearable to watch.

Of course, we have to say that Hua Shao knows how to find people. He found Cai Xukun and several people from his group. Regardless of how they performed, they definitely became a hot topic.

Hua Shao finally asked Zhou Xingchi how they performed, and Lin Li noticed that his expression was obviously stiff.

Lin Li laughed to himself, thinking that if it weren't for the new movie, he would have quit long ago.

"I think having a child can bring up a lot of complicated emotions, and they acted them all out, everything. It's just speechless."

Zhou Xingchi answered while trying his best to keep smiling.

Lin Li felt that his last sentence, "I have nothing to say," was the real highlight.

Then, Zhou Xingchi raised the second question under Hua Shao's guidance, and this session ended after another interaction.

Lin Li clapped his hands gently and thought with a gloating look, I guess our Stephen Chow didn't expect that money in the mainland is sometimes so difficult to make.

Will I have to wash my eyes several times when I go back?
The ceremony continued.

"The domestic film market in 2018 has exceeded the 600 billion mark."

"Among them, Weibo has played a huge role in promoting film marketing, making word-of-mouth communication an indispensable accelerator for the film market."

"Which movies were the most popular with audiences and discussed the most by netizens in 2018? Let's take a look at the winners of Weibo's annual movie awards. Please look at the big screen."

Along with Hua Shao's passionate voice, clips from three movies, "Better Days", "Dying to Survive" and "Operation Red Sea", flashed on the big screen on the stage behind him.

After the clip, Hua Shao continued: "Let's welcome the honorees with warm applause, the director of "Dying to Survive" Wen Muye, the chairman of Bona Film Group, the producer and general producer of the film "Operation Red Sea" Yu Dong, and the leading actors of "Better Days" Hou Minghao, Zhou Ye and Yin Fang to the stage."

"At the same time, please invite the famous director Mr. Feng Xiaogang to come on stage to present the honors to them!"

As Hua Shao's voice fell, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

However, more people turned their attention to Lin Li who was smiling and applauding in the front row. They did not expect that the director Lin Li did not go on stage, but arranged for several leading actors to represent him to receive the award.

It was obvious that Weibo had consulted Lin Li's opinion, but he chose to have several leading actors show their faces on the show.

Amidst warm applause, Zhou Ye hugged Meng Ziyi and others beside him, then walked towards the stage together with Hou Minghao and Yin Fang.

This time, Lin Li stood up and waited for them to come forward.

Moreover, Lin Li gave Hou Minghao and Yin Fang a gentle hug respectively.

Zhang Jingyi in the guest seat couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw this.

She knew some of Lin Li's habits, and he was doing this now just to be able to hug Zhou Ye in the end.

Zhang Jingyi’s guess was absolutely correct.

When Lin Li opened his arms to Zhou Ye, she immediately and happily threw herself into Lin Li's arms.

It was a real hug, which was completely different from the quick separation between Lin Li and Hou Minghao and Yin Fang just now.

"Our daughter looks very beautiful today."

"Go up on stage and receive your award."

In Zhou Ye's ear, Lin Li whispered to her in a gentle tone.

"Ok!"

Zhou Ye left his arms and hummed obediently.

She naturally knew that now was not the time to talk.

Then, Zhou Ye went onto the stage with Hou Minghao and the others under the gaze of Lin Li.

After receiving the trophy, Wen Mu and Yu Dong naturally spoke first. After them, Hou Minghao, as the male protagonist of the teenagers, took the brunt of the speech. It was originally Zhou Ye's turn to speak second, but he became the last speaker because of Hua Shao's words "Let our only lady be the finale".

So, Yin Fang followed Hou Minghao and expressed his feelings about winning the award.

After him, it was finally Zhou Ye's turn to speak.

When Zhou Ye took the microphone and walked forward, there was an immediate commotion from the audience.

The director pointed the camera directly at her face, allowing her extremely resistant face to give the audience a small beauty shock.

Under the camera, her delicate cheeks were flawless and as smooth as the finest silk.

The high nose bridge seems to add a touch of three-dimensional artistic line to her face, dividing the face into harmonious proportions and making the facial features more profound and charming.

The tip of her nose is slightly upturned, with a hint of playfulness, her eyes are like the brightest stars in the night sky, and her long eyelashes are like a row of black feather fans, casting subtle shadows under her eyelids. Every blink is like a butterfly fluttering its wings, extremely agile.

Her eyebrows are slender and stylish, like two graceful crescents hanging under her forehead, and her small lips are as delicate and beautiful as rose petals.

In the close-up shot, Zhou Ye's face was so prominent that many female stars at the scene couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Lin Li was sitting in the audience with his legs crossed, looking at Zhou Ye on the stage with admiration on his face.

In his opinion, in terms of the refinement of facial features, almost no one present could compare to Ye Zi.

On the stage, Zhou Ye took in the audience's reactions and let out a barely perceptible breath. Then, he raised his lips with an elegant arc and began to speak:
"Hello everyone, I am actor Zhou Ye."

"First of all, I would like to thank Weibo for recognizing our work 'Better Days'."

“Better Days is a special movie that shows the beauty and cruelty of youth through the growth and transformation of the characters.”

“If the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are wealthy, the country will be wealthy; if the youth are strong, the country will be strong.”

"Through the movie 'Better Days', we hope to convey a kind of power, so that more people will pay attention to the growth of teenagers and school violence, so that every teenager can grow up healthily and happily in the sunshine."

"Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to the director and screenwriter, our teacher Nan Xun."

"He used delicate brushstrokes and a unique perspective to present a true and moving story to the audience."

"I was lucky enough to play the role of Wei Lai, who seemed sinister but was actually pitiful and pathetic. I gained a lot of insights and growth from the role."

"Finally, I would like to thank all the crew members, staff and audiences who support us again."

After finishing his speech, Zhou Ye covered his chest and bowed politely to the audience.

Below the stage, Lin Li smiled with a look of satisfaction on his face and clapped his hands gently.

What this girl said is really good, her words are meaningful and progressive.

Seeing Lin Li clapping, the guests in the audience naturally responded, and the fans in the audience also followed suit and applauded enthusiastically.

For a time, the whole audience burst into applause.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou Ye, please wait a moment. I have some small questions."

Just as Zhou Ye was about to retreat to the side of Hou Minghao and the other man, Hua Shao reached out to stop her.

Zhou Ye was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Below the stage, Lin Li's face trembled, and he looked at Hua Shao on the stage speechlessly.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Wang Gaofei, who was not far away from him, and just stared at him steadily.

The meaning is obvious...

You guys just want to pick on me?
