Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 173 Tit for tat
"Hello everyone, I'm Bai Lu, an artist from Huanyu Entertainment. I just watched your movie a few days ago, so I wanted to take this opportunity to come over and say hello and get to know you all."

Although he felt a few unfriendly glances, Bai Lu still greeted them generously and appropriately.

"Hello, I'm Eddie Peng. Miss Bai Lu is so beautiful."

"Boss Lin, I've finished drinking. It's time to give me the red envelope."

Before anyone could speak, the conspicuous Peng Yuchang rushed up again, quickly greeted Bai Lu, and started asking Lin Li for a red envelope.

"Here, it's yours."

Lin Li was also at a loss for words about this guy. He slapped the red envelope he had prepared in advance into Peng Yuchang's hand and quickly waved his hand to send him away.

"Hey, thank you Director Lin."

Eddie Peng pocketed the red envelope contentedly and quickly returned to his seat, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Ruth."

At this time, Zhao Lusi walked up and greeted Bai Lu with a sweet smile.

Lin Li also looked at Zhao Lusi's outfit today. Well, she was in the right direction. This fresh outfit was quite cute.

"Hello Ruth, your Tang Xiaomi is really good, really amazing."

Unexpectedly, Bai Lu was a social phobic. She grabbed Zhao Lusi's hands and praised her enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Sister Bai Lu. It seems that Sister Bai Lu and our Director Lin have known each other before. It seems that you two are very familiar with each other."

Zhao Lusi was stunned by Bai Lu's enthusiasm at first, but after she came to her senses, she held Bai Lu's hands and began to explore the relationship between her and Lin Li.

"Boss Lin helped me once before, so we got to know each other."

Bai Lu glanced at Lin Li beside him and gave Zhao Lusi a brief explanation.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Zhao Lusi glanced between the two of them and didn't ask any more questions.

"Here, Ruth, your red envelope."

Seeing that Zhao Lusi's eyes were rolling around, Lin Li was afraid that she would do something weird again, so he quickly handed over the red envelope and interrupted her.

"Thank you, Brother Ali. Um, no, thank you, Director Lin."

Zhao Lusi took the red envelope, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled sweetly at Lin Li, as if she had accidentally said the wrong address and then quickly corrected it.

Bai Lu, who was standing by, fixed his gaze on them, glanced back and forth between the two of them, with a smile on his face.

"Okay, go back and sit down."

How could Lin Li not see through her little tricks? He did not expose them, but signaled her with his eyes to restrain herself.

"okay."

Zhao Lusi smiled complacently, turned around and sat back down obediently.

"Dudu, you look beautiful today. This is yours."

Lin Li walked up to Chen Duling and handed her the red envelope while admiring her figure.

As expected, Hong Kong style is Dudu’s dominant area.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Chen Duling smiled gently, accepted Lin Li's compliments calmly, and took the red envelope casually.

A woman dresses up to please herself, and receiving praise from the one she loves makes all her preparations today worthwhile.

After taking it, she turned to Bai Lu who was standing beside her and greeted her.

As Lin Li’s girlfriend, she has always been very sensible in such occasions and would not ignore the “guests”.

At this time, Lin Li turned to Zhang Ruonan, who had been standing aside with his hands behind his back and staring at him silently, and smiled gently.

This girl is always well-behaved and the least worrying person.

Today she wore a sky blue snowflake velvet dress, paired with long silver pendant earrings. Although it was a deep V long dress, it was just right, without revealing any of her sexy features, but instead making her look elegant and generous.

"Ruonan, today's style suits you very well."

Lin Li looked at the girl in front of him and praised her sincerely.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

"So, there's only praise but no red envelopes?"

Zhang Ruonan smiled playfully, clasped her hands together and raised them in front of her, pouting her little cherry lips as if asking for a red envelope in a cute way.

"I give it to you, I give it to you. How can I leave out yours?"

Lin Li resisted the urge to hug her and kiss her, smiled and put the red envelope into her hand, and gave her a look that said "wait for me".

"Thank you Director Lin for the big red envelope."

Zhang Ruonan smiled sweetly and winked at Lin Li provocatively.

Lin Li smiled broadly. This girl is really becoming more and more lively.

Seeing that Zhang Ruonan was also very conscientious in greeting Bai Lu, Lin Li shook his head and continued to give red envelopes to Zhao Qian, Hou Minghao and others.

Today, two veteran actors, Junmei Wu and Huimin Tao, were also invited. Lin Li politely stepped forward to greet them, gave them red envelopes, and then started chatting with the two veteran actors.

He still has respect for veteran actors who have real skills.

Zhao Lusi took this opportunity to walk up to Bai Lu and pretended to be curious and pulled Bai Lu: "Sister Bai Lu, what's the matter with you saying that Director Lin helped you before?"

Bai Lu stared at Zhao Lusi and naturally understood what she was thinking, but she didn't take it seriously. Since Zhao Lusi wanted to know so much, she would let her know clearly.

Even a clay man can get angry. It would be fine if she really had something going on with Lin Li, but the key point was that Zhao Lusi was questioning her about everything before anything had happened, so she was naturally unhappy.

What's your stance?
At most, you are just in love with me like me!

"It's nothing, actually. Last time I attended a cocktail party at Kiwi, I encountered a drunk man harassing me, and it was Mr. Lin who helped me."

Bai Lu's calm and gentle explanation attracted the attention of not only Zhao Lusi, but also Chen Duling and the other person standing nearby.

So, this is a hero saving a beauty?

The same thought came to the minds of the three people at the same time.

"Then your acquaintance was like the beginning of an idol drama."

Zhao Lusi was in a bad mood and replied with a fake smile. "Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Lin to take action directly. But Mr. Lin is really charming when he takes action. It's completely different from his usual performance. He's so manly."

Bai Lu looked at Zhao Lusi's reaction and gave it her all. You want to listen, right? I'll let you listen carefully!
Swish!
Zhao Lusi and the other two all stared at Bai Lu, and their expressions became strange.

Lin Li took action?
For the egret in front of you?

This is no small matter, and I didn’t even know about it!
"Director Lin has taken action?"

Zhao Lusi looked incredulous.

"Yes, it was done cleanly and efficiently. He also pressed the man into the pool, over and over again, until he begged for mercy and gave in."

The egret that was released told everything without any hesitation.

Is this Lin Li?

Chen Duling and the others felt that the person described by Bai Lu was completely different from Lin Li, who always presented himself as calm, composed and gentle, and they all had an unimaginable feeling in their hearts.

"What a coincidence!"

Zhao Lusi gritted her teeth and stared at her with a half-smile.

"Yes, I am also very grateful to Mr. Lin. If it weren't for him, I really don't know what would have happened."

Bai Lu looked very grateful, but the smile on his face somewhat destroyed his sincerity.

"If a hero saves a beautiful girl, he must give himself to her!"

Zhao Lusi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and instead spoke in a compliment to Bai Lu's performance.

"I do want to, but it depends on whether Mr. Lin will give me a chance."

Bai Lu did not retreat at all and attacked directly in the face.

"you……"

"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

Zhao Lusi, who almost couldn't hold back her curse, was interrupted by Lin Li who came over. She quickly took back the curse "Do you have any shame?" and replaced it with a sweet and lovely smile.

Be calm!
"Just now, Ruth was curious about how we met, so I told them about General Lin's heroic deeds in saving the beautiful girl."

Bai Lu was not panicked when she saw Lin Li coming over, and explained the situation frankly.

Lin Li nodded suddenly, taking in the expressions of the people. He knew it must be Ruth who couldn't help but ask more questions.

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Lin Li waved his hands, as if it was just a trivial matter and was ready to let it go.

"So Director Lin really did it?"

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Chen Duling and Zhang Ruonan asked questions one after another, then looked at each other at the same time. After a brief touch, they turned their heads and retracted their gazes to Lin Li.

"Of course I'm fine, don't worry, don't underestimate me."

Lin Li pretended to be calm and raised his arms in a show of strength.

"I'll go over there and say hello to Mr. Gong and the others. If you have nothing to do, come over and have a drink. I'll introduce you to each other."

Lin Li felt that they couldn't stay like this any longer, so he changed the topic and made new arrangements.

Chen Duling and the others knew what was going on, so they naturally would not hold on to it, so they echoed it and followed Lin Li to the main table to greet Gong Yu and the others, raising their glasses to greet each other.

After this episode, Lin Li talked with Han Zijie and Wang Changtian about the Fanhua project.

Han Zijie directly stated that Penguin will fully support the project, invest in publicity and promotion with the highest positioning, and give it the greatest appearance.

Wang Changtian said that he had a good relationship with King of Sunglasses and would persuade him to make time to devote himself to photographing the flowers.

Lin Li also specifically talked to him about the shooting time. After all, the efficiency of the King of Sunglasses was well known. Even if a real scene had to be built, Lin Li didn't want him to drag it out for three to five years.

“From filming to production, three years is my bottom line.”

After a brief thought, Wang Changtian said he understood and would go and communicate.

After finishing the business, everyone started toasting each other again.

As time went by, the celebration banquet slowly came to an end. At about half past ten, everyone raised their glasses and drank the last glass of wine, officially ending the banquet.

Lin Li pretended to be drunk and first asked Gao Wen to send Chen Duling and the other girls back to their respective places.

Then he sent Han Zijie, Wang Changtian and others away one after another, and finally greeted Gong Yu at the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Boss Lin, I see you drank a lot today. Why don't you let Miss Bai Lu take you home?"

Gong Yu held Lin Li's hand and signaled Bai Lu beside him with his eyes.

Bai Lu stepped forward quickly: "Yes, Mr. Lin, I'll take you there."

"No need, no need. Someone will take me back."

Lin Li waved his hands repeatedly.

Just kidding, Dudu is still waiting for him in the villa halfway up the mountain. If it weren’t for his soothing eyes, Dudu probably wouldn’t have felt at ease to leave first.

Seeing Lin Li's reluctance, Gong Yu did not force him and took Bai Lu away.

Bai Lu followed Gong Yu closely, and looked back at Lin Li who had already turned around, feeling a little reluctant to leave.

"Don't be discouraged. It can be seen that those heroines have some connection with Mr. Lin. Naturally, they won't do anything to you today."

At this time, Gong Yu in front suddenly said without turning his head.

"I……"

Bai Lu opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know how to start.

"No need to say more, you just need to know that I invested in you because of this connection between you and Mr. Lin."

"You don't have to expect much from a person like him. Just being around him is enough for you to benefit a lot."

Gong Yu continued.

"oh, I understand now."

The egret was silent for a while, then responded faintly.
