Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 466 Ye Zi's hatred will never be let go
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little stagnant for a moment. Hou Minghao and his companions looked at each other and noticed something unusual.

You know, when they were on the set before, every time Zhou Ye saw Lin Like, he would smile from ear to ear. They would often joke, "Every time I see Director Lin, Ye Zi would run to greet him."

If you need to run to see someone, then that person must be someone you like very much.

Everyone on the crew actually knew it tacitly. Who could not see Zhou Ye's girlish feelings for Lin Li?

Besides, Zhou Ye has never concealed his thoughts.

But looking at the current situation, could it be that Ye Zi’s confession to Director Lin was rejected?
But Director Lin’s attitude doesn’t seem like that, which is strange.

"Well, not only is she prettier, she's also much quieter."

Lin Li didn't care about Zhou Ye's cold attitude. It was the expected reaction. He smiled and nodded, then walked straight to the main seat in front of the long table and sat down.

As Lin Li spoke, the atmosphere at the scene eased, and Hou Minghao and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lin Li's peaceful appearance, Zhou Ye pursed his lips and his expression became even colder.

"Let's talk about the past later, let's talk about business first."

"Has Director Shang discussed the follow-up arrangements with them?"

Lin Li raised his hand and knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention, then looked at Shang Wei and asked.

"Not yet Director Lin, I was just about to talk when you came over."

Shang Wei nodded in response.

"Okay, let me tell you. I believe what everyone wants to know most is the official release date. Since everyone is here, I will tell you that our release date is set for the 24th."

"And this time we will also hold the premiere of the youth film on the 20th. The theme of this premiere is... the coming-of-age ceremony."

When he finished speaking, Lin Li's eyes swept around and stayed on Zhou Ye's little face for a short while before moving away. However, Zhou Ye could clearly feel that his eyelashes blinked rapidly several times and he tried his best to control his breathing.

Coming of age ceremony?
What do you mean?
Zhou Ye's little head turned quickly, thinking about the meaning behind this topic.

But... it's so annoying, I can't imagine it!
She curled her lips in annoyance.

"The 24th! Doesn't that mean it will take another days? We still have to wait!"

"I can't wait."

"But Director Lin, what does the coming-of-age ceremony mean?"

"This is Director Lin's first time hosting a movie premiere. It should be very lively."

As Lin Li finished speaking, Hou Minghao and others spoke up one after another. Zhou Ye habitually wanted to open his mouth to say a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he forced himself to hold them back and just watched others speak.

"I did have some considerations. I went to the premiere of Medicine God a few days ago and you all should have seen it. What I said at the scene was not commercial hype, but my real feelings."

"We need to stay out of the spotlight for this film. If we release it at the same time as his, both their and our box office will be affected. There's no need to do that."

"Besides, a film as excellent and profound as Medicine God deserves to be seen by more people, so it doesn't hurt for us to wait a little longer."

Lin Li smiled at the reactions of the few people, then explained in a serious manner.

While he was speaking, his slender index finger habitually rested on the table and kept tapping up and down, causing Zhou Ye to unconsciously glance over frequently.

She remembered that she had discovered this habit of Lin Li when they were on the set. Every time she saw him, she would tease him that he was a child with ADHD. But now...

Memories flooded into Zhou Ye's mind, and he felt that his heart, which had calmed down, began to ache again.

Very stuffy and uncomfortable.

"Dying to Survive is indeed a very good movie. I went to see it and it made me cry."

"Me too, it's a really great movie."

"We will listen to whatever Director Lin says, and we will follow Director Lin's instructions unconditionally."

"Hou Minghao, you're a flatterer!"

"Hahaha!"

As they were talking, several people started to make noise again. Only Zhou Ye seemed absent-minded. He just sat there in a daze, and his face did not look very good.

Lin Li glanced at Zhou Ye and sighed imperceptibly.

He could naturally see that although Ye Zi pretended to be indifferent and disguised herself with a layer of indifference, her condition was not good.

"Okay, stop making trouble for now."

"Let's get down to business. Starting tomorrow, the company will arrange for you to participate in some variety shows to promote the movie. The ones that have been confirmed are Base Camp, Chinese Restaurant, and The Voice of China."

"After the variety show recording, everyone will take a short break and then prepare to attend our movie premiere. After the premiere, Director Shang will lead you to continue the roadshow."

"As for me, it depends on the situation. If your roadshow takes place in a city close to my crew, I will try my best to be there to accompany you."

Lin Li told them about the upcoming promotional arrangements, and Hou Minghao and the others sat up straight and listened carefully. After all, this movie was the biggest thing for them at the moment.

"Understood, Director Lin, rest assured, we will do our best to promote it."

"The only pity is that Director Lin can't accompany us."

"By the way, I really want to see what Director Lin's plays are like, hehe."

After hearing the arrangements, several people started to become active again and spoke one after another. Only Zhou Ye shuddered and his expression became even uglier after hearing what Zhang Yifan said.

At this moment, Hou Minghao caught a glimpse of Zhou Ye's expression, and combined with what he had just said, he instantly understood what was going on between her and Lin Li.

But if it was just because of this reason, it shouldn't be in this state, could it be...

Hou Minghao suddenly thought of the hot searches he saw when he ignited the audition. It seemed that Dudu and Ruonan both participated in the audition.

Others don’t know, but he had been in the crew of Tragedy for two months, so he naturally knew the relationship between Dudu and Director Lin, and also knew what Ruonan and Ruth felt about Director Lin.

And judging from Ruonan and Ruth's subsequent resources, it can be estimated that both of them have achieved what they wanted.

Looking at Ye Zi’s current condition, could it be that Director Lin has overturned and been discovered?

Tsk! How miserable!

Hou Minghao smacked his lips secretly.

"Okay, that's the general situation. Anyway, you guys should work harder on the subsequent variety shows. The company will communicate with the production team in advance, so you just need to cooperate."

"That's basically the situation. Director Shang will go over the detailed time and general content of the program with you later. I still have some things on hand. Let's have lunch together at noon and we can chat then." After Lin Li finished explaining, he stood up and left the meeting room with the consent of several people.

Looking at Lin Li's leaving back, Zhou Ye's eyes flickered with a complicated expression.

She could sense that Lin Li left probably because he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable.

But, I haven't seen him for half a month...

After talking with Zhang Ruonan, she actually thought a lot, but no matter what, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that Lin Li had so many women besides her.

Even though she gradually understood that in this complicated circle, perhaps Lin Li's status and position were already considered a breath of fresh air, she just couldn't let it go. In her eyes, love should be a matter between two people.

She knew that she was able to get to where she is today only because of Lin Li's protection. She was not a fool. After experiencing the initial discomfort, she had gradually figured out many key points.

But she felt even more uncomfortable when she thought that Lin Li was about to film with Zhang Jingyi, and there would be many intimate scenes. Perhaps Zhang Jingyi would accept Lin Li's situation like everyone else during the filming.

She could not care about other people, but Zhang Jingyi...

No!

She doesn't want to lose to Zhang Jingyi!
She couldn't imagine the scene where Zhang Jingyi was lying in Lin Li's arms and looking at her one day. She felt that she would go crazy!
But if I compete, it means that I have accepted the fact that he has other women, which is not okay!

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Feeling depressed, Zhou Ye couldn't listen to what they said, so he found an excuse to go out for some fresh air.

After leaving the meeting room, Zhou Ye walked aimlessly.

When she reached a staircase, a faint sound coming from the corridor made Zhou Ye pause. After a slight hesitation, she lightened her footsteps and walked over slowly.

As the source of the sound got closer, clear voices entered her ears.

"The host of the premiere will definitely be you, Teacher He. You must make time for me then."

"Don't worry about that. Even if the base camp doesn't record, I will still host the premiere for you. Leave it to me."

"I feel relieved after hearing what Teacher He said. Also, please pay more attention to what I just asked you to do."

"Don't worry, Ali. I will take your instructions to heart."

"But this girl named Zhou Ye, too?"

"Not yet. She just found out about my situation, and it's um... not good."

"Hmm? Ali, you seem to have something special for this girl named Zhou Ye."

"She is a very cute girl. Teacher He will know it when she sees her."

"I'm looking forward to what you said, but you don't have to worry. After all, she's still young, and you've protected her very well. She's never seen the corruption in this circle, and she'll slowly understand it in the future."

"Heh... I hope so. Anyway, please ask Teacher He to take good care of her for me. If there are any games that might be embarrassing or dangerous, try to avoid them."

"Don't worry, but by the way, when can you come to my show to play? You haven't been here once until now."

"Don't worry, Mr. He, there will be a chance."

"Okay, that's it for now. I wish your new movie a big hit in advance."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li shook his head silently, turned around and prepared to return to the office.

But when he turned around and saw that expressionless face, he stopped in his tracks.

Tsk! The cold-faced Ye Zi is really oppressive.

"Yezi, why did you come out? Have you finished your discussion?"

Lin Li was stunned at first, then his eyes curved and he asked with a smile.

"Do you think I'll be touched by this?"

"Do you consider yourself to be very affectionate?"

"Do you think I will compromise?"

"Did you treat them the same way before? Let me tell you, I won't accept it!"

Zhou Ye's fair little face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"Yeah, I don't have to do that."

"Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything you don't like."

"Love is a very strange thing. Some people love to death when they love, and some people discard it like a worn-out shoe when they don't love anymore."

"I blamed myself for not explaining it clearly before and for giving you too many beautiful imaginations. I won't do that again in the future."

Lin Li stared into her eyes and said seriously.

Zhou Ye didn't say anything. He just stared at Lin Li with cold eyes for a moment, then turned and walked away without saying a word.

The moment she turned around, two crystal tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

How could she not be moved? She just didn't say it more harshly because she was afraid that she would rush into Lin Li's arms in the next second and tell him how much she liked him.

She felt some hatred.

I hate myself for not living up to my expectations, and I hate Lin Li for being so fickle.

What I hate even more is that even in this situation, I still can't help but want to see him and pay attention to him.

She felt as if she were possessed!

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye's slim back and frowned slightly.

Ye Zi's reaction was more intense than he expected. Perhaps he underestimated the purity of Ye Zi's emotions.

But there was no way he could let her go!
If he had to do it all over again, he would never let go of anyone he cared about.

Not forcing does not mean not using other methods.
