Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 779: Confused Thoughts, Mountains
As the morning light climbed onto the enameled porcelain stewing pot, Lin Lizheng skimmed the foam off the bird's nest with a spoon.

The rosewood tray was filled with six boxes of medicinal food: walnut and black rice porridge was steaming, and golden thread jujube cakes were pinched into petal shapes...

There was a rustling sound coming from the living and dining room. Chen Duling came in slowly in slippers, staring in a daze at the medicine bags on the coffee table that were packed according to the time of day.

Each brown paper package was covered with gold-sprinkled paper: The anti-abortion drink should be served with two pine nuts, and the Si-time Guyuan paste should be served with longan honey...

"Teacher Nanxun changed his career to become an imperial physician?"

She stroked the neatly written characters in thin gold script on the medicine packet with her fingertips and couldn't help laughing.

It's really hard for this god, he had to wake up the doctor overnight to prepare?

Lin Li turned around with the tray in his hand and looked at her seriously.

"The doctor said the first three months are the most important."

He glanced at her still flat belly, and his eyes immediately softened.

"Why don't you not go to the audition today? You must be exhausted after a whole day of hard work."

Today was the audition day for "Chasing the Sun", which was another reason why he was in a hurry to get back.

Chen Duling was originally a member of the audition team, but the situation is different now and he is a little worried.

"It's been less than a month. I'm not that delicate. I should exercise more now."

Chen Duling frowned helplessly, moved lightly to Lin Li's front, put her arms around his waist and said with a reproachful expression.

She was afraid that Lin Li would be unhappy and would let her stay at home to take care of the baby from now on. The thought of it was a little scary.

"Can……"

"Jingle Bell……"

Before Lin Li could answer, his cell phone, which was placed on the kitchen counter, suddenly rang, causing him to pause.

Chen Duling smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly, motioning him to answer the phone.

"I'll tell you later."

There was no other choice, so Lin Li had to go to the kitchen to get the phone.

When I turned on the screen, twelve missed calls exploded on it.

Chen Duling looked at him with a puzzled expression, and Lin Li shrugged his shoulders, looking nonchalant.

"I was helping you make bird's nest in front. I was too lazy to pay attention to him. You can figure out what he was talking about if you think about it."

"Hurry up and pick it up."

"okay."

Amid Chen Duling's coquettish expression, Lin Li casually pressed the answer button.

Chen Chao said with a noisy voice: "Cars from various film and television companies have blocked the underground parking lot of our building! If you don't come over and show up, I'm afraid our company will be complained by other companies!"

Lin Li held the phone further away and smiled at Chen Duling in front of him.

Looks like there's no time to waste here.

-

Ten o'clock in the morning, Nanxun Culture.

At this time, the corridor outside the audition room had already turned into a boiling sea of ​​stars.

Both sides of the corridor were filled with well-known celebrities, and the smell of various perfumes mixed with the smell of burnt coffee was swirling in the air.

At a quick glance, almost all the 85 flowers except Tang Yan were present, including Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Ni Ni.

What was different from usual was that they didn't dress up to be fancy today. They all wore light makeup and found their own seats in the corridor, concentrating on studying the character introductions given by Nanxun Culture.

In addition, familiar faces often seen on the big screen, such as Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Hanyu, and Wu Jing, were also sitting properly at the scene, each with a serious look and appearing to be particularly focused.

Many more young actors were squatting or standing at the outermost edge of the corridor, clutching their character introductions and resumes, appearing modest and reserved.

Their expressions were different, but the only thing in common was that no one brought an assistant with them. All the agents and assistants of the auditioning actors were either waiting in the parking lot or in the reception room of Nanxun Culture, without exception.

In the entire domestic entertainment industry, such a scene can only be seen in Nanxun Culture.

"Looking at the situation today, it seems that the competition is quite fierce."

"Zhu Ri is a group portrait, and there aren't many so-called leading female roles. The same is true for several other female characters. I didn't expect her to be featured as well."

Yang Mi narrowed her fox eyes slightly, glanced at where Liu Yifei was, and whispered to herself.

As if sensing her gaze, Liu Yifei raised her eyes and looked at her.

Yang Mi's expression immediately changed, and he smiled and waved gently at her.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei also smiled and nodded in response, appearing very graceful and elegant.

Then, they both looked away at the same time and secretly spat in their hearts.

Liu Shishi, who was sitting opposite the two men, took in their reactions and curled the corners of her lip in amusement.

According to her understanding, both of them had been involved in scandals with teacher Nan Xun, and it seemed that apart from the movie roles, they both had other ideas.

When Liu Shishi thought of Teacher Nan Xun, there was some indescribable emotion in her eyes.

It’s no wonder that they would have ill intentions. Even she herself felt very special about this person.

Especially when she thought about the video she accidentally saw last time, the eye-catching muscle lines and the eight-pack abs that seemed to be drawn with the golden section line were really impressive!
What people fear most is comparison.

Compared with the one in her own family, Liu Shishi suddenly felt that her eyesight was not very good when she was young. No wonder netizens complained that her eyes were dull and jokingly called her "Blind Sister".

Now it seems very appropriate.

I don’t know what it feels like to have such a strong body…

As she thought about it, Liu Shishi bit her lower lip unconsciously, and her eyes were covered with tears in the blink of an eye.

Her chin, which was pressed against her fingers, turned slightly pink, and the collar of her black cotton T-shirt was pulled into loose folds due to her leaning forward, revealing half of her collarbone line.

The force of biting the lips makes the lip gloss spread between the teeth, and the cherry color spreads from the lip beads to the lip corners, like cinnabar ink dripping on raw rice paper and gradually spreading.

A few loose strands of hair from her ponytail were entangled with the thin layer of sweat at the back of her neck, creating ripples in the hollow of her neck as she swallowed.

The waist and hip curves wrapped in jeans pressed out a full arc on the wooden chair. The toes of the canvas shoes tapped the ground unconsciously, and the shoelaces also left afterimages with the heartbeat frequency.

When her fingertips brushed the rim of the cup for the third time, the coffee stains drew ambiguous concentric circles on the rim of the cup. In the steam rising, she suddenly used her little finger to hook away the hair stuck to the side of her neck. The arc of her wrist bone instantly awakened the dormant wife's charm.

"call……"

Liu Shishi felt her cheeks getting a little hot, so she took out her cell phone and turned on the camera to take a selfie. She soon saw her red ears. Her eyes suddenly tightened, but she quickly let her pupils become misty again.

When she turned off the screen, her fingertips slid across the photo of the wedding ring on the phone's screensaver, stroking it gently.

The trajectory she drew unconsciously was like a fantasy that should have been sealed within the moral red line, quietly growing along the worn-out lines of her jeans.

The crowd in the corridor suddenly became agitated.

A bright light shone through the wooden door of the audition room, and they caught a glimpse of Zhang Yi performing an impromptu mecha-operating scene.

Without any special effects, he relied solely on his limbs to fight non-existent enemies in the void. When he leaned back, his arm accidentally knocked over a mineral water bottle.

"Continue." Xu Fei, who was conducting the audition, raised his hand to signal the staff not to move, "I want to see the details on the spot."

The battle-hardened Zhang Yi adjusted his position with the fallen water bottle, and suddenly picked up a prop wooden stick as a weapon. The majestic lines actually created a strange tension in his mouth.

Warm applause immediately broke out from where the audition team was, and the scene stopped abruptly.

The staff found the wooden door that was not closed properly and closed it tightly again.

"call……"

"Wow! Is this the strength of a movie emperor?"

"I'm a little scared to go on stage..."

A buzz of discussion like a swarm of bees suddenly filled the corridor, and a sense of urgency arose in everyone's hearts.

With this kind of strength, how many people can afford to commit fraud?
And with this kind of benchmark in place, those who come after them will only be held to higher standards.

The most crucial thing is that Lin Li has not arrived yet. As a famous director, they believe that if he were present, the standards might be even higher than they are now.

Thinking of this, many people at the scene couldn't help but back off.

At this time, many people suddenly thought, why hasn't Lin Li arrived at the scene yet?

"He won't come today, will he?"

Liu Yifei started to wonder in her heart.

When Nanxun Culture’s “Trilogy” plan was officially announced, she took the initiative to contact Lin Li immediately.

But although Lin Li spoke very politely, he never gave her any special treatment. He just said that she was very welcome to participate in the audition, which made her very angry.

After all, he had taken advantage of my sister before, but now he has no regard for me at all. He is really ungrateful!

She compared herself with Chen Duling, who got the role of the goddess directly, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

Has my charm really declined?
She didn't feel better until she saw Yang Mi and others on the scene. It seemed that everyone was the same, and except for Chen Duling, they needed to audition.

"Huh? Why is she here?"

"Given her relationship with Teacher Nanxun, is it necessary to go through this formality?"

"It seems like there will be one less female lead role, alas~"

……

A burst of slightly resentful discussions suddenly arose at the scene, awakening Liu Yifei from her fantasies and she looked in the direction where everyone was looking.

The moment she raised her eyes, she noticed that Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others were moving in almost the same way as she was.

The moment she saw the person coming, her eyes paused slightly and her expression quickly became somewhat unnatural.

Yes, why are you coming here to go through this formality?
Backlight shone in from the diamond-shaped lattice window at the end of the corridor. The person walked over, stepping on the dancing light spots on the floor. The draft raised wrinkles on her cotton white T-shirt, which then lay flat around her waist as she turned her wrist to lift her hair.

Her hair sparkled as it brushed against the glass of a fire hydrant, and the sunlight hardened her dark pupils into patterns like canary wings. When she blinked, it seemed as if stardust was falling from between her eyelashes.

The bright smile on her lips reminded many people of the winter she dominated them last year!

All the works produced in the same period as hers failed without exception. That winter, she was the only one who was called a princess!
She is Zhang Jingyi.

She is also the female star with the most CP fans so far. To this day, there are more than 300,000 people checking in on the Weibo super topic of "Mingyunxunhuan" every day.

The moment they saw her clearly, the expressions of many actresses at the scene turned ugly.

They knew that another female role had been booked.

Facing many gazes, Zhang Jingyi glanced at the situation in the corridor without changing her expression. Seeing that there was really no vacant seat, she politely nodded to the many seniors on both sides of the corridor. Then she turned lightly, stood against the corner of the wall at the entrance, and began to close her eyes to rest.

Seeing this, everyone in the corridor withdrew their gazes.

What can I do if I still refuse to accept it?
It's a skill for others to be able to catch up with Lin Li. Who can you blame if you can't?

"Except for her infectious smile and bright eyes, there's nothing special about her. So this is the type that little brother likes?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Yang Mi muttered in dissatisfaction, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

In her opinion, Lin Li has never experienced the benefits of being an older sister. How can a skinny figure like Zhang Jingyi's be as good as hers?

Liu Shishi's eyes moved back and forth on Zhang Jingyi who was not far away, and she had a good impression of her.

She could tell at a glance that this girl was the kind of girl who was particularly well protected.

Because there is light in her eyes, without any of the frivolity and materialism that many people in the circle have.

This shows that she has never been wronged, has always been growing under Lin Li's wings, and has maintained her love and original intention for acting.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

As for Liu Yifei, some memories emerged in her mind at this moment.

She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen Zhang Jingyi at a book signing event.

But compared to her youthful self back then, she is now like a flower in full bloom, at its most colorful stage. The youthful aura that almost overflows from her body cannot be perfectly portrayed no matter how hard she tries.

She was thinking, if she hadn't thought too highly of herself at that time, and had let go of her pride and actively pursued Lin Li, would the situation be different now?
Perhaps, I am the most dazzling person in the entire audition scene today.

Instead of being like it is now, people only look at it a few times when it first arrives, and then no one pays attention to it.

Who made all his movies...

"Hmm? Princess, you're here for the audition too?"

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand? What kind of surprise attack was this?"

A familiar clear voice suddenly sounded in this space, and Liu Yifei looked up instantly.

Sure enough, she saw that figure.

At this moment, everyone in the corridor, like her, turned their eyes towards the person at the entrance of the corridor.

Lin Li is here!

"Hello, Teacher Nanxun!"

"Hello, Director Lin!"

……

Everyone stood up and bowed in the direction of Lin Li to greet him.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Nanxun Culture audition. I hope to see your wonderful performance later."

"Now, everyone get ready."

Taking his eyes away from Zhang Jingyi's face, Lin Li turned to look at the many familiar faces in the corridor and nodded with a smile.

Beside him were Chen Duling and Gao Wen, both dressed in black business suits.

Liu Yifei stared at the scene in front of her in a daze. At this moment, being in Nanxun Culture, she clearly realized that the young face not far away was already a giant in the domestic entertainment industry.

A huge mountain stands before everyone, a mountain that they need to look up to.
