Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 88 Appearance
The next day.

Lin Li, who arrived at the crew, clearly felt a different atmosphere, especially Zhao Lusi and Zhang Ruonan, who were obviously much more enthusiastic than usual, although they had been very proactive before.

It seemed that yesterday's hot search must have stimulated them to some extent, but he still restrained himself and kept a proper distance from the two of them.

After all, he is still in the crew, and he just made a promise to Dudu yesterday. He can't be slapped in the face so soon.

After finishing filming a few difficult scenes, the daily shoot has been going very smoothly. Lin Li has a feeling that the show can be finished ahead of schedule.

Time slowly came to August 8st.

On this day, Lin Li, who had just finished a day of filming, returned to the hotel and was about to take a shower when he received a call.

When he saw the note was "Sister Xixi", he roughly guessed why she came.

"Hello, Sister Sissi."

"Hello, Director Lin."

"Sister Xixi, please stop teasing me. Are you calling about the premiere?"

"Oh, it's rare that a big director would remember me despite his busy schedule. This makes me feel like I'm wasting my time."

"Sister Xixi, you're joking. Of course I remember. So what's the exact time?"

"It will be screened at 3pm on the rd, at the same time as the premiere. But if you're coming, you should enter early. You can come earlier. I'll send you the specific address later."

"Okay, no problem. I'll arrange my time and try to get there early."

"Then we'll wait for our original author Nan Xun to come."

"see you then."

"Well, let's talk when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li started to contact Gao Wen to ask her to arrange air tickets and accommodation. At the same time, he contacted Chen Chao and Zhao Qian to explain the filming plan while he was away.

On the other side, after seeing Liu Yifei hang up the phone, producer Sa Zhilei and Alibaba Pictures director Zhang Jiale quickly came forward and waited for her reply.

Liu Yifei smiled at the two of them and said, "I just confirmed that he will come over."

Zhang Jiale and the other man looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "It's still Yifei who has to come forward. This is Nanxun's first time attending the premiere of his own movie. We have to quickly publicize this event. It should also be of great help to our box office."

Sa Zhilei also echoed: "That's right, I'll arrange it right away."

The few of them chatted for a while, and Liu Yifei smiled and agreed throughout, but did not say anything on her own initiative.

She had no intention of using Lin Li to do anything. She had invited him simply because she wanted him to come over as a friend and show her support.

But ever since their producer found out that she had invited Lin Li, he became extremely excited and repeatedly asked her to confirm so that he could use Lin Li's fame to gain more attention.

The same goes for Ali Pictures. As the investor of the leading actor, they are also worried about losses if the box office is not good.

After all, she has indeed not performed well at the movie box office, and Yang Yang has always focused on TV dramas and has not achieved much in movies.

The most important thing is that Wu Jing’s new movie Wolf Warrior 27, which was released on the 2th, is so awesome!
战狼2原定于7月28日周五上映，之后又于7月27日周四20:00-24:00进行全国点映，最终《战狼2》以1.02亿的票房打破国产电影点映票房纪录。

As soon as it was released, Wolf Warrior 2 demonstrated its momentum to sweep away thousands of enemies.

战狼2周六和周日的单日票房都破了3亿，成为第一部接连两日票房破3亿的华语电影，进口电影也只有速度与激情8做到接连三日破3亿的票房成绩。

Since the release of Wolf Warrior 2, it has not only reaped huge box office success, but has also received great word of mouth. The film received a high audience rating of 9.7 on Maoyan, China's No. online ticketing platform, making it the highest-rated domestic film.

截止7月30日晚九点，战狼2累计票房达9.5亿，即将成为今年最快突破10亿票房的电影，内地影史第二快突破10亿票房的电影，最快突破10亿票房的电影纪录是2016年春节上映的美人鱼。

The total box office in the first week was 9.83 million, which completely set off this summer.

Judging from the movies released at the same time, only the movie version of "Eternal Love", which has been in production for many years and is known as a fantasy blockbuster, has a chance to stop it.

That's why the investors and the crew were so anxious to find Liu Yifei, hoping to confirm that Nan Xun could come and support their new movie.

"I just hope nothing unexpected will happen by then."

Liu Yifei thought silently.

On August 8, the official Weibo account of the film Eternal Love updated the news: "The famous author of the original novel of Eternal Love, Mr. Nan Xun, will personally attend the press conference. Please stay tuned."

As soon as the news came out, it quickly topped the hot search list and caused heated discussion.

"This is the first time that NanDa has attended the premiere of a movie adapted from one of their works. It seems that TianXian is really honored!"

"With Yang Mi's outstanding performance, I wonder how Liu Yifei will perform this time."

"Isn't Liu a famous box office poison? I'm afraid that if Nan Da goes to the platform to support the film, what will I say if it's a bad film and I'm interviewed? Haha."

"I don't care what movie it is, as long as I can see our Nanyang University, I'm ready to lick the screen!"

"The sister upstairs gave the right answer!"

"After Yang Mi, there will be no Bai Qian. How many more times do I have to tell you?"

"Yang Mi fans, get lost! When we were so popular, your master was playing in the mud!"

……

The online argument suddenly veered off topic and turned into a fight between Liu Yifei's fans and Yang Mi's fans. However, their two fan groups often quarrel with each other, and netizens are used to it.

August 3rd is just around the corner. Outside the premiere, a large number of Yang Yang fans and Liu Yifei fans gathered, surrounding the venue in a crowded manner.

In addition to the fans of these two people, there were also a large number of fans who gathered, and the momentum was actually slightly louder than the fans of the two people combined.

There was no red carpet for this premiere. Instead, it was held directly in the backstage. Apart from a few lucky audience members, most of the attendees were representatives of the production company, major investors, and main members of the crew.

At the same time, all major video platforms will broadcast the entire premiere conference live simultaneously, so at this time, platforms like Huya and others are already filled with barrages.

At half past one, everyone in the venue had basically arrived, and the two male and female hosts of Guangguang had already started to warm up on stage and introduce the guests.

At this time, everyone in the live broadcast room was scrolling through the comments because they discovered that one of today's protagonists, Lin Li, had not yet arrived.

offstage.

Zhang Jiale was anxiously asking Liu Yifei who was sitting next to him: "What's the situation with Teacher Nanxun? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing when she recalled the conversation she had with Lin Li just now: "They are already outside, but because there are too many fans watching, it's hard for their car to get close. They should be here soon."

Zhang Jiale then put it down a little and nodded: "It's good that we can get there, it's good that we can get there."

However, Yang Yang, who was sitting on the other side of Liu Yifei, looked a little unnatural. He could not forget the embarrassing experience of being rejected when he went to interview for the role of Yu Tu not long ago. In addition to the subsequent discussions on the Internet, all of these made him feel deeply resentful towards Nan Xun, a stranger he had never met before.

But he also knew that with Lin Li's current status and position, he could not offend him easily. He knew this from Zhang Jiale's performance.

Therefore, even if he was unhappy, he didn't dare to show it in front of others.

The female host from Guangguang on the stage was introducing that the pre-sale box office of the movie had exceeded 100 million yuan, and everyone present applauded.

Then she began to introduce the representatives of the investors and issuers below.

From Zhang Jiale of Ali Pictures, to Wang Changtian of Guangxian, representatives from several major film and television companies in the circle such as Ruyi Pictures, and introductions to the crew, producers, directors, leading actors and others.

When introducing the two leading actors Liu Yifei and Yang Yang, the female host asked curiously: "I heard that Feifei also invited our original author Nan Xun today. I wonder why Nan Xun hasn't arrived yet?"

"I'm sorry, I'm late. The fans of our movie are really too enthusiastic."

Liu Yifei was about to answer when she was suddenly interrupted by a panting voice.

Lin Li, wearing black thin trousers, a pure white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of white flat shoes, walked briskly from the backstage to the front row.

When he got close to Liu Yifei, Lin Li, who was already sweating a little, took a few breaths and said with an embarrassed look: "Sorry, Sister Xixi, I didn't expect there would be such a traffic jam around here. It was really hard to get in, so I got out of the car and ran over."

He really didn't expect that there would be so many people outside. Based on the principle of honesty and trustworthiness, he got out of the car and ran more than a kilometer to squeeze in from the backstage.

Liu Yifei didn't expect Lin Li to come running over. She was a little touched and quickly said, "Hurry up and sit down and take a rest. It's okay. It hasn't officially started yet."

"Ok."

Lin Li responded, and then followed her to the seat. At this time, Zhang Jiale from Ali Pictures took the initiative to stand up and give up his seat, and then greeted her.

"Teacher Nanxun, please sit over here. I'm Zhang Jiale from Ali. We can chat in detail when we're free."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang. We'll talk in detail later."

Lin Li didn't bother to be too polite with him and just sat down.

At this time, the host also reacted and introduced in a slightly excited tone: "We see that our original author, Mr. Nan Xun, has arrived at the scene. Let's welcome him with applause."

Now there was a thunderous applause. Lin Li stood up again and nodded left and right before sitting down again.

In the live broadcast barrage of major platforms at this time.

“Ahhh, we finally made it to Nanda!”

"So you're late because you were stuck outside?"

"Good boy, the fans are so enthusiastic that they block the real owner out."

"Nanda looks so simple and chic today. It's true that handsome guys look good in anything."

"I can actually see his faintly muscular chest muscles through his Nanda T-shirt! Haha!"

"Same upstairs, I saw it too!"

……

At the scene, after exchanging pleasantries with representatives of major investors, Lin Li began to greet several leading actors in the crew.

In addition to Li Yu who was staring at her with shining eyes, unexpectedly, Zhang Liangying was also present and participated in the premiere as the singer of the theme song.

When Liu Yifei introduced Yang Yang who was beside her, he also showed an interested expression.

Yang Yang smiled humbly and extended his hand: "Hello, Teacher Nanxun."

Lin Li shook hands with him briefly and quickly separated, saying calmly: "Hello."

Yang Yang withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly and sat up straight.

But in his heart he gritted his teeth and tensed his body, afraid of revealing any bad expression.

Although he is arrogant, he is not stupid.
