Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 508 First Official Date

"Congratulations, Director Lin."

"Director Lin's box office hit!"

"Director Lin, we've bought our movie tickets and will go support you after the show!"

"Director Lin is amazing! The box office has already exceeded 1.2 million today."

"Director Lin..."

When Lin Li arrived at the set, he was greeted with congratulations from the crew members along the way.

Lin Li, who worked hard until three in the morning and was refreshed, nodded and smiled all the way in response, with joy in his eyes.

Nazha is really smooth!
She has a good figure, is hydrated, and is very adaptable, making her a perfect bed partner.

And when I saw the boy’s real-time box office on the way here, I felt even better.

I am naturally happy when my work performs well.

Even if everything was expected.

According to the real-time box office display of Maoyan Professional Edition, the box office of Better Days has exceeded 1.2 million yuan today, taking 8 hours and 44 minutes.

This achievement is due to the film's high screening rate and pre-sale box office. The screening rate exceeded 40% and the pre-sale box office exceeded 2.1 million, far ahead of other films of the same period.

Although the release date of Better Days was relatively hasty compared to other movies, leaving very limited time for promotion and marketing, due to its extremely high popularity and the special nature of the subject matter, Better Days has maintained extremely high popularity since it was first scheduled.

On major ticketing platforms, the number of people who want to watch this film far exceeds that of other films released during the same period, demonstrating its strong appeal in the market.

According to the current schedule, it is almost certain that today's first-day box office will exceed 200 million.

"Congratulations, Director Lin. The box office is a big hit."

Zhang Jingyi, who was reading a script, saw Lin Li coming over and immediately stood up from her chair and grinned at Lin Li, staring at him with her dark eyes without blinking.

"Thank you princess."

"But Princess, your hairstyle today is really cute."

Lin Li felt better as he looked at the graceful girl in front of him. He raised his hand and touched the small locks of hair on her head with great interest.

"Don't pretend. I heard from the stylist that you were the one who described this hairstyle to her."

"I didn't expect that our Director Lin is so knowledgeable about girls' hairstyles. He is really well-informed."

Zhang Jingyi raised her eyes and stared at Lin Li with a half-smile, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"As a director, you must be aware of every detail. Otherwise, how can you coordinate the cooperation between the various teams?"

Lin Li was not panicked at all and spoke seriously.

"Director Lin is right. I didn't think it through."

"But Director Lin, you shouldn't have forgotten what you promised me, right?"

Zhang Jingyi didn't dwell on it too much. After all, no matter how much she said now, it wouldn't change the established facts.

"Of course, I've already bought the tickets. After the show, we can just have a quick bite to eat and go straight over."

Lin Li made an OK gesture to her, looking as if he had the upper hand.

"As long as you haven't forgotten."

"Get ready for the show, Li Xun."

After getting Lin Li's affirmative reply, Zhang Jingyi smiled, ripples appeared in her heart, and she turned and walked away after saying a few words softly.

Her hair swayed gently in the wind, just like her mood at the moment.

The two had agreed before that they would go to the cinema together after Juvenile was released.

In a sense, this was their first date.

So, she was looking forward to it.

"Okay, Princess."

Lin Li raised his eyebrows and spoke loudly towards Zhang Jingyi's back.

He saw clearly that the shyness and timidity that inadvertently appeared on the girl's face when she turned around was really touching.

"Get ready, shooting will start in five minutes!"

After retracting his gaze, Lin Li checked the time and shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

There was a chorus of responses from the studio.

Mao Xiaohui, who had been watching the two of them eating melons for a long time, looked pretty. The main purpose was to create a contrast and get into work mode in one second?
No wonder the acting is so good!
terrible!
-

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Li finished the shooting on time.

He knew that besides himself and Jingyi, many people had already bought tickets to go to the cinema today.

The crew he is using now is the same old crew that filmed his youth, and now that the results of his work are out, he naturally wants to see them.

As for the other leading actors in the crew, whether they were really interested or wanted to please him, they all expressed their intention to go to the theater to show their support.

Taking these circumstances into consideration, he ended the filming at five o'clock.

So, amid shouts of "Long live the director", the staff packed up their equipment, and the actors formed groups of three or four to discuss where to eat and then go to the movies.

"Jingyi, let's go and eat first."

After Lin Li checked the last footage in front of the monitor, he stood up and said to Zhang Jingyi who was waiting beside him.

"Okay, but I want to go back to the hotel and change clothes first."

Zhang Jingyi didn't look at Lin Li, she lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh, that's fine. I need to change my clothes too. It's too hot today. I'm sweating."

Lin Li thought for a moment and responded with understanding.

"Well, let's go."

Zhang Jingyi then looked up at him, then turned around and walked away.

"Heh~"

Lin Li smiled, then followed closely.

Our princess is still so shy!
After the two returned to the hotel, Lin Li changed into a comfortable white loose short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, put on a pair of basketball shoes, a mask and a baseball cap, and walked out of the room to wait in the hotel lobby.

This wait lasted half an hour.

Of course, this was also within Lin Li's expectations.

It's not too much time for girls to dress up carefully.

Of course, the effect is also good.

When Lin Li saw Zhang Jingyi appearing in the hall, his eyes immediately lit up.

She wore a dark blue floral dress, paired with black leather boots, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. From a distance, you could feel the vitality of a girl.

"Sorry it took a while."

Stopping in front of Lin Li, Zhang Jingyi's eyes behind the white mask revealed an embarrassed look as she whispered.

"It's okay, this one looks great and is worth the wait."

Lin Li lowered his eyes to look at the half of her face with plain makeup, and praised her with a smile.

"Thank you. Let's go." Zhang Jingyi curved her eyes to meet Lin Li's gaze and responded crisply.

A woman dresses up to please herself, so it is worth her special preparation.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

"Ah."

After the agreement, the two walked side by side to the hotel parking lot. Lin Li drove the car and Zhang Jingyi naturally sat in the passenger seat.

After Zhang Jingyi fastened her seat belt, Lin Li reached out and pulled her seat belt twice, and only started the car after confirming that it was correct.

Zhang Jingyi looked down at Lin Li's big hand, and her heart moved again.

She has watched many idol dramas, in which the male protagonists always want to lie on the female protagonist to fasten the seat belt, creating a particularly blushing and heart-pounding atmosphere.

But for someone like her who is slightly socially anxious, if they are not in a confirmed relationship, she would think this behavior is particularly presumptuous and does not feel it is a good thing.

On the contrary, Lin Li's approach makes people feel more secure.

"let's go."

Lin Li smiled at her, then turned around, looked forward and started walking.

"Ah."

Zhang Jingyi stared at Lin Li's angular profile and nodded slightly in response.

An inexplicable sense of security.

The two of them didn't eat much for dinner. They simply found a Hunan restaurant and ordered a few side dishes. The battle was over in less than half an hour.

Lin Li booked a ticket for 7:30, as any later time would be a bit tight.

When we arrived at the cinema, the lights were already on.

The cinema they went to was owned by Shanghai Film Group, on the fourth floor of a shopping mall. It was quite a large space, but when they arrived they were startled by the crowded crowd inside and looked at each other tacitly.

Today is a weekday, Tuesday. I didn’t expect there would be so many people in the cinema. And after a quick look, I saw that they are almost all young people.

Zhang Jingyi suddenly raised her hand and gave Lin Li a thumbs up. Lin Li couldn't help but smile and raised his eyebrows at her.

With so many people crowding into the cinema at this hour, it goes without saying that most of them are here for the teenagers.

"I'll go get the tickets, then what do you want to eat? Popcorn? Coffee? Or milk tea?"

Lin Li pressed down the brim of his baseball cap and asked her.

"If possible, I would like an ice cream."

Zhang Jingyi raised a slender finger and spoke in a soft voice.

"Of course no problem, find a seat and wait for me, I'll be there in a minute."

Lin Li's heart trembled when he heard her soft voice. He tried to remain calm and gave her some instructions, then turned around and went to queue up at the ticket machine.

After seeing Lin Li walk away, Zhang Jingyi glanced around. Seeing that there was no seat available, she walked to a corner near the ticket gate, stopped, and then looked in the direction of Lin Li.

Even in the crowd, Lin Li's tall figure was particularly conspicuous.

Zhang Jingyi also saw that even though they were wearing baseball caps and masks, several girls in the queue for tickets kept looking at Lin Li.

It really attracts a lot of attention!

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but pout under her mask.

She watched Lin Li get the ticket and then go to the bar to queue up again, and the scene just now was repeated. At the three queues, at least a dozen girls turned their heads to look at him from time to time, and were talking to their companions and pointing at Lin Li.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but feel a little worried. She was covered up like this, would she still be recognized?
Fortunately, Lin Li bought the things safely. After taking a quick look around, he locked onto Zhang Jingyi's location and walked straight over.

"Our Director Lin is so eye-catching even in disguise."

Zhang Jingyi suddenly said after taking the ice cream from Lin Li.

"It's all my fault for standing out too much."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled shamelessly.

"Well, the cheeks are prominent enough."

Zhang Jingyi nodded in agreement.

"Princess, I'm curious about how you're going to eat it."

Lin Li didn't care about her teasing and looked at her mask with curiosity.

"Keep an eye on it."

Zhang Jingyi smiled at him, then raised her left hand and gently lifted the mask under Lin Li's surprised gaze, then quickly brought the ice cream to her mouth, took a big bite, and quickly put the mask down.

"Mmm, so cold!"

Zhang Jingyi suddenly covered her mouth and screamed, then stomped her feet hard several times.

"Hahaha, I see, it's really amazing!"

Lin Li gave her a thumbs up with amusement.

"It was just an accident. I didn't expect it to be so cold."

After swallowing the ice cream in her mouth, Zhang Jingyi explained shyly.

"I see."

Lin Li nodded repeatedly with his eyebrows bent.

"You... hum!"

Zhang Jingyi knew that no matter how much she explained, it would be futile, so she could only snort helplessly.

"Our princess is a little silly~"

Lin Li leaned over and whispered teasingly into her ear.

The low voice and the hot breath made Zhang Jingyi tremble slightly, and her body felt numb as if she had been electrocuted.

"Okay, we can get in line, let's go."

Lin Li did not notice Zhang Jingyi's reaction. He stood up and saw the crowd that had already started queuing up to enter and spoke to her.

"Oh, okay, let's go."

Zhang Jingyi responded hurriedly, then quickly walked to the back of the queue.

"Come here quickly."

After standing still, Zhang Jingyi came to her senses and quickly waved to Lin Li.

Lin Li smiled slightly, raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat, and walked over slowly.

Several boys who had noticed Zhang Jingyi because of her outstanding temperament turned their eyes away when they saw Lin Li coming over.

Just looking at the height, they lose confidence.

"The princess is indeed very attractive."

Lin Li watched what just happened and leaned over again to whisper in Zhang Jingyi's ear.

Scored twice!

Zhang Jingyi shuddered and turned to look at him in embarrassment.

She felt that Lin Li definitely did it on purpose!
