Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 497: Cocktail Party, Chaos
"I can tell that our Director Lin really cares for the actors he has worked with."

"But Director Lin is right. The actors performed well, but we as the audience should not take it too seriously, otherwise it would be unfair to the actors. We must distinguish clearly between movies and reality."

He Jiong naturally understood what Lin Li wanted to express and appealed to the audience.

"it is good!"

“We listen to NTU!”

The audience in the back row were also very considerate and responded loudly.

Meng Ziyi and others in the audience had smiles on their faces, secretly criticizing how thoughtful and considerate Lin Li was towards Zhou Ye.

People like Bai Lu who are not familiar with Zhou Ye are somewhat envious of the treatment Zhou Ye has received. They can all feel that Lin Li really cares for Zhou Ye to the core, from the Weibo video to the verbal reminders now.

Even the leading actress Zhang Zifeng didn't seem to have much presence on the stage.

Which one is more important can be known at a glance.

After that, He Jiong asked Hou Minghao, Zhang Zifeng and other leading actors several questions before ending the interaction. It was almost 5:30 in the afternoon.

"At the end of the premiere, I have good news to share with you all. So far, the online pre-sale box office of Better Days has reached 9300 million, and there are still four days until the movie is officially released!"

Near the end, He Jiong raised his voice toward the audience and announced the news with excitement.

Upon hearing this, cheers immediately broke out in the entire theater.

Zhou Ye and others on the stage were pleasantly surprised, and the celebrities below the stage were all amazed at the boy's pre-sale box office performance.

It’s not that they haven’t been paying attention, but it seems to have increased a lot today. Perhaps it’s because today’s premiere caused such a big fuss?
From this perspective, the pre-sale box office of "Dying to Survive" is 1.6 million yuan. There are still 4 days before the official release of "Youth", so it doesn't seem difficult to catch up with the pre-sale box office of "Dying to Survive".

The gap seems quite big, but inexplicably, everyone thinks it is very reasonable for the young man to surpass the God of Medicine, and they are very confident.

After all, this is a film work by Lin Li.

After all, it is so high level and so stunning.

The premiere ended with the thanks from the entire creative crew of Better Days, but it does not mean that the day is over.

Afterwards, all guests will move to the dinner that Nanxun Culture has arranged in advance.

Xu Fei arranged for the dinner to be held in a high-end private club not far from Xidan.

It was nearly seven o'clock in the evening.

The dinner restaurant is luxuriously decorated, with gorgeous chandeliers casting soft light. The dining table is laid with exquisite tableware and wine glasses. A host of celebrities wearing gorgeous evening gowns are either tasting high-end wines and exquisite food, or gathering in groups of three or five to chat.

When Lin Li, Sun Zhonghuai, Gong Yu and others arrived at the scene, everyone was already there.

When they saw the arrival of these few people, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and then enthusiastic greetings rang out one after another.

The arrival of Lin Li and his companions was like a signal, indicating that the dinner party hosted by Nanxun Culture was about to officially begin.

Chen Duling and others were sitting in different seats. Seeing Lin Li arrive, several of them were ready to move.

But they all knew that as the host, Lin Li must first greet the guests, especially Sun Zhonghuai and Gong Yu, the bigwigs of the video platform.

Therefore, they can only endure the longing in their hearts and wait for the opportunity.

At this dinner, directors such as Wen Muye, as well as film and television company managers such as Wang Changtian and Yu Dong were all the targets of various parties' visits.

Of course, in this huge world of fame and fortune, Lin Li received far more attention than one could imagine.

This is true for both men and women, and Chen Duling and others also understand this truth.

What was somewhat unexpected today was that after Lin Li entered the venue, no one dared to approach him and talk to him directly.

After all, the status of people around him such as Sun Zhonghuai and Gong Yu was too high, and ordinary actors and directors did not dare to approach him easily.

However, there were a lot of people gathered around Chen Duling. Many people had understood the importance of Chen Duling to Lin Li through various signs today.

So they began to try the roundabout strategy of pillow talk, hoping to achieve different results.

After all, in comparison, Chen Duling seems to be easier to talk to.

In front of a dessert table, Tian Xiwei was happily eating a piece of cream cake in her hand.

She didn't dare eat much during the day in order to walk the red carpet. In order to show her perfect body curves, she had been hungry for a long time.

Of course, most actresses today are almost similar to her.

"You are really generous. Seeing her surrounded by so many people, you can still eat so happily. So now you are completely convinced, right?"

Zhao Lusi approached Tian Xiwei holding a glass of red wine. She placed her slender right arm on her left arm and shook the glass gently, provoking her in an elegant manner.

Tian Xiwei raised her eyelids and glanced at her, but ignored her and continued to eat the food in her hand.

"That's right. Although you have known Brother Ali for a long time, after what happened last time, you are no longer worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with her."

Seeing that Tian Xiwei remained silent, Zhao Lusi's expression became more smug. She took a sip of red wine, raised the corners of her lips and walked away slowly.

"Treasure~"

Tian Xiwei glanced at Zhao Lusi's back and said with disdain.

She was too lazy to say anything more to this kind of fool.

In the corner, Reba, who had just separated from Yang Mi, ran into Nazha who was holding a glass of champagne.

"It looks like our top female star is ready to humble herself."

Nazha glanced at Chen Duling, who was being treated like a star not far away, and said with a sarcastic expression.

"Even if you have to be humble, you are still a subordinate. Many people would fight for the right to be his subordinate, right?"

"Besides...it's better than the wild chickens on the roadside."

Reba opened her red lips slightly, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she looked at Nazha with a smile.

"you……"

"So what? He was slept with anyway."

"Your man has a nice body, I am very satisfied with it."

Naza's face darkened, then she took a deep breath to adjust her breathing, crossed her arms and said to Reba with a proud look on her face. "Yes, he is really good at this."

"So you know, if we don't let him go out to eat, most people can't stand him."

"You are experienced, he should be quite satisfied."

"Next time he finds you, please try your best. If you can't do it, I can pay you."

Reba discussed with Nazha seriously.

"You are sick!"

Nazha's expression became more and more ugly as Reba spoke, until she couldn't help it anymore, she cursed and walked away from her.

"Heh~"

Reba looked at Nazha's back with a smile on her lips, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Then, thinking of the key point, her smile faded and the corners of her lips curled up.

She would have to find time to talk to Lin Li about Nazha's matter. You bastard, you always talk about the so-called "most beautiful red pomegranate flowers in northern Xinjiang". It turns out that you picked more than one, right?
On the other side, Bai Lu and Cheng Xiao sat at a dining table, looking at the celebrities at the venue who were as reserved as before.

Between the two of them, Bai Lu has only aired one low-budget web drama, and the officially announced new project has not yet been filmed, so she is still just a little actor without any representative works, and is not worthy of being seen at today's dinner party.

Although Cheng Xiao has gained a certain degree of fame in China through Idol Producer, idol singers are not popular in China. In today's banquet where famous actors are everywhere and directors are as numerous as dogs, she has no appearance at all.

"Xiao Xiao, you and him..."

Not daring to socialize with others, Bai Lu looked at Cheng Xiao beside him, and stretched out the last syllable of his smile playfully.

"Ah."

Cheng Xiao blushed and nodded slightly in response.

"So...you were also with him...?"

The egret girl acted like a hooligan and made faces at Cheng Xiao.

"Ah! This... um..."

Cheng Xiao didn't expect Bai Lu to ask such a revealing question. He glanced around nervously, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he shyly said "hmm".

"Tsk... can you stand him?"

Bai Lu smacked her lips and gently touched Cheng Xiao's smooth shoulder, which was also exposed to the air, with her exposed shoulder, and said with a raised eyebrow and a gossipy look.

"This... um, doesn't work~"

Cheng Xiao was surprised at Bai Lu's boldness, her cheeks blushing as she spoke hesitantly.

"You can't do it either?"

"I thought you would be in better physical condition as someone who dances so often, but I didn't expect you couldn't handle him either."

"So it's not my problem at all. He just became... ahem, gifted."

Bai Lu quickly withdrew the words from his mouth and expressed it euphemistically.

"Puch"

Cheng Xiao naturally understood what Bai Lu wanted to say, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then he immediately realized something was wrong, and covered his mouth with both hands. His chubby little face turned red.

"Anyway, you know what I mean. It took me two days to recover from that incident. I even had to walk very carefully."

The egret winked at her, telling of the atrocities committed by Lin Li.

"Then I'm fine. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I dance so often."

Cheng Xiao thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

"I'm telling you, he's just too much..."

It was a rare occasion for Bai Lu to meet someone with whom she could discuss Lin Li at will. She couldn't stop wanting to talk, so she grabbed Cheng Xiao, whose face was flushed, and started to accuse Lin Li.

Although Cheng Xiao's face was red, his ears were erected high, and he listened to Bai Lu's words with a shy and excited look, and responded quietly from time to time. The more he talked, the more excited he became...

In front of the bar counter, Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong were called aside by Wei Shujun to gather with Zhang Ruonan and others from the intimacy crew to discuss some subsequent matters related to the promotion of the plot.

Thus, Wang Churan was left alone at the bar counter near the corner. She took out her cell phone out of boredom and started swiping it, but her eyes were all fixed on Lin Li, who was chatting and laughing with Sun Zhonghuai and others in the center of the venue.

From her perspective, Lin Li seemed to be emitting a faint glow, which made it impossible for her to look away...

"Hello, give me a Margarita."

Zhao Lusi, who thought she had just gained the upper hand, walked to the bar counter with satisfaction and smiled at the bartender at the bar.

I am in a particularly good mood today and am in high spirits.

"OK, wait."

The bartender responded and began to show off his skills.

Zhao Lusi also watched him show off his dazzling skills with great interest, a sweet smile on her face.

God knows how happy she was!
That Tian Xiwei showed off in front of her time and time again.

But now?

She also became Lin Li's woman and starred in Nanxun Culture's first costume drama, which is also Nanxun Culture's largest investment project at present.

Just now, she finally gained the upper hand in front of Tian Xiwei for the first time. How could she not be happy?

She finally vented her anger!
While waiting, Zhao Lusi glanced around.

When she saw Lin Li, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and the expression on her face became brighter.

Just as Zhao Lusi was about to look away, her eyes caught sight of Wang Churan, who was holding his phone at the bar with his head down, and she paused slightly.

This Wang Churan seems to be related to Brother Ali?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lusi changed her mind and took a step towards her.
