Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 754: Flag, Wang Churan's obsession

Two days later, Lin Li left South Korea by flight.

At the same time, some media revealed that Lin Li, a famous Chinese writer and director, will continue to cooperate with Hwang Dong Hyuk on his own script to create a TV series with Korean cultural characteristics.

It was also revealed that the name of the script is "Dark Glory".

Due to the success of "Squid Game", the entire Korean entertainment industry and many Southeast Asian countries including China have paid special attention to it.

Even some film and television fans in Europe and the United States are very interested in this news and are closely following subsequent developments.

Many people want to know the specific content of this script, and want to know what story "Dark Glory" tells, and whether it is possible to replicate the success of "Squidward Fever".

The media who had been waiting at the Beijing airport to get first-hand information were unable to wait for him and all came back empty-handed.

Just as netizens were discussing and speculating where Lin Li had gone instead of returning to Beijing, he had quietly landed in Shanghai at two o'clock in the afternoon.

After meeting up with the airport reception staff, Lin Li took Gao Wen and headed straight to the Fanhua crew.

After about an hour, they arrived at the outskirts of the crew.

This was Lin Li's second time here, so he was quite familiar with the place.

The person in charge of receiving Lin Li this time was Cheng Liang, the co-director of "Fanhua" from Shanghai Film Group.

Lin Li and the other two had just arrived at the outskirts of the crew under the guidance of the staff when Cheng Liang came up to greet them with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Nanxun. First of all, congratulations to Squid Games for its great success around the world. And then, welcome to come and inspect our crew's work."

After seeing Lin Li, Cheng Liang's eyes lit up, and he took a few quick steps forward, spewing nice words one after another.

"Thank you Director Cheng. It's been a while since we last met. Judging from Director Cheng's condition, the crew should be making good progress, right?"

Lin Li raised his hand and gently shook the hand that Cheng Liang extended, smiling and joking.

"Ah this..."

Cheng Liang looked embarrassed and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the back of his head.

"Hahaha……"

"It's okay, Director Cheng, don't be nervous. I know Director Wang's speed. I was just joking."

Lin Li patted his shoulder and smiled.

"Teacher Nanxun, I'm glad you understand. I'm glad you understand. Please come in."

"Before you came, Miss Wang's last scene had already been filmed. Chu Ran should be removing her makeup and packing her things in the lounge. I'll take you there right now."

Cheng Liang's expression relaxed, then he smiled and raised his hand to gesture forward.

"This is just the first wrap-up. Who knows, we may have to wrap up several times. I have to talk to Chu Ran and tell her not to rush to clean up everything."

Lin Li said lightly as he walked inside.

Hearing him say this, Cheng Liang's face became embarrassed again.

At the same time, he secretly complained in his heart that Teacher Nanxun really knows our Director Wang well.

But then he thought, who doesn’t know Wang Jiawei’s style?
It's normal for a drama to be completed three or four times. It's well-known for a long time!

Not to mention Wang Churan, even contestants of the same level as Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Maggie Cheung are the same.

Thinking of this, Cheng Liang calmed his mind, laughed and followed Lin Li's steps.

In the busy and noisy film set, Lin Li, under the guidance of Cheng Liang, took Gao Wen and shuttled around.

The Fanhua Studio is like a huge beehive, with busy figures in every corner.

The lighting technicians carried lamps as heavy as mountains and kept adjusting the angle and intensity of the light under the loud command of the on-site assistant director.

Their foreheads were covered with sweat like raindrops, but they had no time to wipe them off. They were fully committed to creating better light and shadow effects.

The photographers were either squatting or standing, their eyes seemed to be glued to the camera's viewfinder with super glue, and their fingers were as nimble as snakes operating the cameras, striving to capture every wonderful moment.

Lin Li took a quick glance and saw that the scene being filmed was a group scene on Huanghe Road, and it was not directed by Wang Jiawei.

A group of props crew members pushed carts loaded with various props and hurriedly moved back and forth between the shooting location and the warehouse.

The script supervisor held a clapperboard and shouted out the scenes and shots at the top of his lungs, his voice particularly prominent in this noisy environment.

The makeup artists held makeup brushes and powder boxes and carefully applied makeup on the faces of the actors waiting outside with a focused look on their faces.

Many extras were standing by anxiously awaiting instructions to go on stage. They were whispering to each other, discussing the plot and their roles in low voices, with excited expressions on their faces.

Several actors who were obviously the main supporting roles in this scene were reviewing their lines seriously, muttering to themselves, and it seemed that they were carefully building up their emotions in preparation for the upcoming filming.

Lin Li nodded secretly. A glimpse of the whole picture revealed the whole picture. Although Wang Mojing had many shortcomings, as a director, his crew was indeed well managed.

At this time, someone finally noticed Lin Li's arrival. After the first staff member who spotted Lin Li bowed and saluted, all the surrounding performers and staff stopped what they were doing and bowed to greet him respectfully.

Those busy lighting technicians, even though the lamps in their hands were extremely heavy, hurriedly turned around and bowed slightly.

Several photographers also turned their eyes away from the viewfinder and nodded hurriedly. The props team staff immediately stopped their hurried steps, their faces instantly filled with ingratiating smiles. The extras were even more awed, bending their bodies very low, almost touching the ground.

Lin Li didn't say much, just put on a friendly smile and nodded slightly to the left and right.

After Lin Li walked past, the cast and crew stood up and raised their eyes hurriedly. Their eyes were like those of little animals tremblingly poking their heads out of a cave, furtively sizing up the teacher Nan Xun who had become a legend in the domestic entertainment industry.

The expressions on their faces were rich and varied. Some of them had the corners of their mouths slightly raised, but that curve could not completely conceal the burning fire of curiosity in their hearts.

Some people opened their eyes wide, their gazes filled with respect and admiration, as if they were looking up at a towering mountain that was soaring into the clouds and breathtaking.

Lin Li has always been someone they admire and respect, especially in recent times. Lin Li, who had kept a low profile for nearly two months since the start of the new semester, has once again become a hot topic around the world due to the global popularity of "Squid Game", which makes them feel that Lin Li seems to be covered with a layer of mysterious aura.

In fact, it's not just them, it's the same on the Internet.

As more and more news about "Squid Game" spread into China, many netizens felt excited and at the same time felt a sense of honor.

did you see?
You know the "Squid Game"?

It is because of the unique vision of our teacher Nan Xun that such a work was created!
Some foreign netizens refuted that if Lin Li is so talented, why didn’t he write the script of “Squid Game”? Why didn’t he shoot it himself?
Yes, this is what Korean netizens said.

He had already figured it out himself!

That’s right, now almost no one in China doubts that Lin Li will not be able to make a work like “Squid Game”. This is the image that Lin Li has established in everyone’s mind through his repeated successes.

Anything produced by Nanxun must be of the highest quality!
Teacher Nanxun has never lost!

Nowadays, few people care about Lin Li’s emotional problems.

Teacher Nanxun doesn't have any other habits, he just enriches his emotional life for the sake of creative inspiration.

what happened?
Any questions?

no problem!

Isn't it reasonable for a writer to be more romantic?
Since ancient times, scholars have been romantic. How could they express such profound emotions without experience?
Reasonable?
Quite reasonable!

In short, under the huge influence of "Squid Game", Lin Li has become a banner of China in the global film and television industry. Lin Li and his companions walked along the way amid various greetings, and after a long time, they finally arrived in front of the actor's lounge.

Before I got close, I could already hear the lively voices.

Lin Li raised his hand to signal the people at the entrance who were about to greet him to keep quiet, and then he approached cautiously with light steps.

Seeing this, Cheng Liang and the others held their breath and followed Lin Li silently.

Who in the entire circle doesn't know about the relationship between Lin Li and Wang Churan?

At a time like this, of course, one has to cooperate wholeheartedly with other people's surprise visit to the set. Moreover, Wang Churan's performance in the crew has always been very good, and she has not asked for any special treatment because of Lin Li, so everyone has a good impression of her.

Lin Li entered the lounge and took a quick glance, then he saw a familiar figure sitting in front of the dressing mirror.

He raised the corners of his lips and nodded to the leading actors and staff who had noticed his arrival in the room. They immediately understood what he meant, and then looked at the figure in front of the dressing mirror with envy.

I am so lucky to be able to meet this person!

At this moment, Wang Churan's face was bright and radiant under the indoor lights, and it looked as white as if it was glowing.

The curved eyebrows are like a rising crescent moon, natural, beautiful and charming.

A pair of bright eyes are like a deep and quiet lake, crystal clear and touching; the long eyelashes are slightly curled up, just like the gently fluttering wings of a butterfly, light and charming.

Under the straight nose bridge, the cherry-like mouth is slightly upturned with a faint smile, like a flower in the spring breeze, shy and charming.

At this moment, she is still dressed as Miss Wang, with fake curly hair gently falling on both sides of her pretty face, adding a touch of retro charm to her.

The curly hair is as soft as silk, and the gentle swaying seems to be whispering about the past times.

Lin Li looked at her and slowly approached her.

It was not until he quietly walked behind Wang Churan and the stylist moved away with a signal that Wang Churan, who was originally closing her eyes and enjoying the makeup removal process, noticed something strange.

"Sister Yili, why are you all suddenly silent?"

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the dressing mirror in front of her. When she saw clearly that it was Lin Li standing behind her, a look of surprise instantly filled her entire face like a flood.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils flashed with disbelief and extreme joy.

The surprise in her heart was like a clear mountain spring, instantly dispelling the remaining fatigue on her face.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her excitement blocked her words.

A blush instantly appeared on her cheeks, like the colorful sunset in the sky, or the beautiful peach blossoms blooming in spring, extremely charming and attractive.

The blush spread from her cheeks to her ears, and even her slender neck was stained with a light pink, just like an exquisite pastel painting.

"Why did you come suddenly?"

"I...I'm not mentally prepared at all."

Wang Churan stared at Lin Li's face, her voice was a little coquettish, but also full of joy. Her voice was like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, crisp, pleasant and full of affection.

Lin Li smiled slightly and looked down at her in the mirror.

"I heard that our Miss Wang finished filming today, so I naturally had to come over to take a look."

Wang Churan's cheeks turned even redder. She lowered her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. It seemed as if countless colorful butterflies were dancing happily in her heart.

At this time, Chen Long stood up, smiling, and said respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Nanxun, you guys chat first, I have to go to the show."

"Yes, Mr. Nanxun. I also happen to be performing here. We can talk later when we have time."

Ma Yili also stood up from her seat and bowed to Lin Li with a smile.

Others also stood up and saluted, their eyes full of respect.

"Please do as you please."

Lin Li turned sideways, nodded slightly at them, and chuckled.

As Ma Yili and the others took the lead and walked away, the people around them also tactfully left the lounge and considerately closed the door, leaving them a quiet space just for the two of them.

"Wouldn't this be good?"

Wang Churan looked up at him, but she couldn't stop smiling. She still had two conspicuous dimples, but it didn't seem like she felt anything was inappropriate.

Not only that, her smile was very proud.

"Chu Ran, I only saw joy and arrogance on your face."

Lin Li smiled, leaned over and put his face against hers, then joked while looking at her in the mirror.

"Because although I feel a little embarrassed, I am really happy!"

"It really makes me very happy that you can appear here today and in front of me in this way!"

"I feel so light now, as if I could fly."

"So, let me show off for a bit, okay?"

"Just a little."

Wang Churan looked at Lin Li in the mirror, his eyes seemed to be glued to him and he couldn't move them away.

Her eyes were full of obsession and intoxication, and her pupils were slightly dilated, as if she wanted to remember every detail of his face.

Those eyes were like a bottomless lake, with only his reflection in them, flashing with fanatical light, as if he was the center of the world and the whole meaning of her existence.

"Silly girl, of course you can."

Lin Li curved his lips and looked at her lovingly.

"You are the best~"

Wang Churan's eyes did not blink, and his eyes were so gentle that water seemed to be able to drip out of them, filled with endless attachment and reluctance, as if he would disappear if he didn't look at him for a moment.

There was an almost crazy persistence in her eyes, as if she had found the only source of light in the darkness and was following it closely, not willing to let go even a little bit.

His eyes were infatuated, and admiration was written all over his eyes and eyebrows.

Lin Li naturally understood the look in her eyes, which was filled with helplessness and pity.

"Chu Ran."

"Ok?"

"No~"

The next moment, Wang Churan felt herself instantly enveloped by Lin Li's breath and felt the warmth on his lips. After the initial surprise, she slowly closed her eyes and devoted herself to this gentle kiss.

that's nice!

Wang Churan just felt that he was extremely happy at this moment.
