Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 769 Jiang Jiang suddenly realized and attracted
"Teacher Nanxun, you are joking. I came here specially to thank you."

Inside the private room, Jiang Zhenyu looked at Lin Li's smiling face and tried her best to put on a sweet smile.

She received a call at the last minute. It was her boss who called her personally and asked her to accompany Mr. Gong from Kiwi to a dinner party tonight. He also said that it was Mr. Gong who specifically asked her to go.

In desperation, she had to go and meet up with Gong Yu first. After meeting and chatting with Gong Yu, she finally understood that it was Lin Li who did this on purpose.

She took it for granted, it turns out that Lin Li would really hold it against her!
And it was through Gong Yu that she had no way to refuse!
"Oh~ I understand."

"Boss Gong, look at you. I just thought Jiang Jiang's performance was very good, so I specially praised her a few words. Why did you ask her to make a special trip? There's no need to do this."

Lin Li looked at Gong Yu standing aside with a reproachful look on his face.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, this is not my fault. It was Jiang Jiang who strongly requested to come with me to express her gratitude to you in person. I couldn't persuade her, so I had to bring her here."

"Really, Jiang Jiang?"

Facing Gong Yu's eyes that emitted a faint cold light, Jiang Zhenyu's heart trembled and he nodded obediently.

"It's like this, Teacher Nanxun, I have always admired you very much. This time, thanks to participating in your variety show, I gained attention, so I wanted to thank you in person."

She turned to look at Lin Li, her tone soft and her eyes full of gratitude.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

What’s more, Gong Yu didn’t know that if she hadn’t found Lin Li earlier, they wouldn’t even have the chance to play.

But she didn't dare tell Gong Yu about this. Judging from their communication, if she told Gong Yu about this, Gong Yu might not let her go easily and would definitely use her to please Lin Li in every way.

"Thanks, I received it. Now that we are here, let's sit down together."

Lin Li looked at her delicately made-up face, a sly smile flashing in his eyes.

Everyone knows it, and everyone pretends to know nothing.

"Yeah, stop standing here, everyone take a seat."

"Well, Jiang Jiang, just sit next to Mr. Lin. It's a rare opportunity to get close to your idol!"

While Gong Yu was asking everyone to sit down, he also asked Jiang Zhenyu to sit next to Lin Li.

There was nothing Jiang Zhenyu could do but nodded obediently, then she smoothed the hem of her cheongsam down along her waistline and sat down lightly to Lin Li's right.

After asking everyone to take their seats, Gong Yu sat down to the left of Lin Li.

Everyone took their seats in an orderly manner. The table was already filled with a wide variety of delicacies. The rising steam, carrying the aroma, filled the entire room.

Gong Yu smiled widely, picked up the wine glass enthusiastically, stood up and started to warm up the audience.

"Boss Lin, we have to open up and have a good time today! Just to say that our Kiwifruit team was able to win the script for Kuang Biao, I was so proud of it with the board of directors after I returned to the company!"

"Everyone in the industry knows that if we can get your script and cooperate with Nanxun Culture, then this project is already confirmed to be a success. We don't have to worry about advertising and investment. The company's stock price can also soar with good results."

"Boss Lin, I have to toast you a few more times today."

Lin Li smiled slightly, slowly stood up, raised his glass as well, and politely responded: "Mr. Gong, you are too kind. The strength of the Kiwifruit platform is extraordinary, which is obvious to all in the industry. It is also a rare fate for Kuang Biao to be associated with your platform."

After that, the two of them clinked their glasses gently, their movements skillful and tacit, and then tilted their heads back and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Zhenyu sat aside and watched their actions, his eyes flickering.

She had only met Gong Yu once before, and her boss was so servile in front of Gong Yu, so after meeting Gong Yu today, she hardly dared to show any thoughts of resistance.

But the scene before her made her experience it firsthand. Even someone with a status like Gong Yu had to act in a flattering manner in front of Lin Li, and speak with great respect.

So, for a man like this, what on earth made me crazy to dare to mess with his woman?

Jiang Zhenyu felt like he was really possessed by a demon!

And right now, I don’t know how Lin Li will treat her...

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhenyu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After three rounds of drinks, Gong Yu gently put down his glass, his eyes inadvertently revealing a hint of eagerness.

"Boss Lin, you don't know that last time, we had a bloody fight over this script. The scene was very intense! Now that Kiwi has finally won it, I have been thinking about it in my heart. I wonder how the script is progressing?"

Lin Li leaned back slightly in his chair, waved at him lightly, and smiled easily.

"Mr. Gong, don't worry. The script has been completed. Now it just needs some detailed polishing, and there will be no problem."

"I have put a lot of effort into this script, and I believe I will not let you down, Mr. Gong."

"Moreover, Mr. Xu is already leading the preparations for the production, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner."

"Don't worry, Mr. Gong."

A gleam of surprise flashed in Gong Yu's eyes and he nodded hurriedly.

"That's good, that's good! Now that Mr. Lin says so, I can rest assured."

"Boss Lin, don't blame me for being anxious. The market competition is so fierce right now. The benefits of a good drama to the platform cannot be underestimated."

"We must prepare carefully, cooperate with each other, and go all out to make Kuangbiao the best-selling product of the year."

Gong Yu looked extremely serious, and it was obvious that he took the matter very seriously.

Lin Li narrowed his eyes slightly, fell into a brief thought, and then slowly said:

"Indeed, the subject of "Storm" is quite sensitive. We have to strike a good balance in character creation and plot advancement. If we are not careful, problems may arise."

"And the choice of actors is also crucial. We must choose actors who can accurately interpret the roles, so that the characters in the play can come alive."

When it comes to business, Lin Li's attitude immediately changes and he becomes extremely focused.

"Boss Lin is absolutely right. As for the actors, our platform will definitely fully cooperate. If Boss Lin thinks there is a suitable candidate, just speak up."

Gong Yu quickly nodded in agreement.

"However, this subject may still be a bit sensitive, especially the several prototypes in the work. You may need to pay more attention to this aspect, Mr. Lin."

After a pause, Gong Yu said something meaningful.

The theme of "Kuang Biao" is somewhat similar to that of "In the Name of People". Although the classes involved are not so high, it is not easy to broadcast it smoothly. You have to know that the successful launch of "In the Name of People" was the result of many rounds of mediation and it almost died in the womb.

However, Gong Yu knew that this was not a difficult task for Lin Li, who had a background in the National People's Congress.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gong. I will take care of it. I have always remembered what happened with Story of Yanxi Palace last time. I will definitely make it go online smoothly with this Kuang Biao collaboration."

Lin Li picked up the wine glass beside him, smiled and raised his glass to Gong Yu. "With what Mr. Lin said, I am naturally 100% assured!"

"Please come in, Mr. Lin!"

Gong Yu picked up the wine glass and clinked it lightly with Lin Li's, then said with a smile.

When Lin Li put down his glass, Gong Yu immediately signaled with her eyes to Jiang Zhenyu beside him. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly and obediently filled Lin Li's glass.

Lin Li glanced at her, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and then ignored her.

In the following time, Lin Li and Gong Yu had a lively conversation about the preparations for "Kuang Biao", from the plot to the shooting location, from the cast to publicity and promotion.

Lin Li spoke eloquently and with a focused expression. Each of his points hit the nail on the head and was incisive, causing the Kiwi executives present to nod their heads frequently and secretly admire him.

Jiang Zhenyu was originally just dealing with the dinner absent-mindedly. She really had no interest in the business entertainments in front of her. Being forced to sit here made her even more annoyed.

What's more, it's still unknown how Lin Li is going to deal with her.

Gong Yu’s request to her is to make Lin Li happy!
As for how a woman can make a man happy, the answer is self-evident.

But she had no right to resist. She had finally gained some attention through "My Stage", and she didn't want to be banned by the company at this time!

But at this moment, looking at Lin Li who was fully devoted to his work, she couldn't help but be absent-minded.

When Lin Li talked about serious matters, he was completely different from the calm and relaxed appearance he had just had during the small talk.

When he spoke, his eyes were focused and deep, as if he could see through every detail in the script and project preparation.

His slightly furrowed brows and pursed lips when thinking make him exude a unique temperament, a charm that is a combination of professionalism and wisdom.

Jiang Zhenyu was surprised to find that he was attracted to Lin Li without realizing it.

This is not the kind of love between men and women, but a sincere appreciation for the strong.

In the entertainment industry, which is a mixed bag, I have seen too many greasy and sophisticated businessmen and hypocritical and pretentious artists.

In her opinion, no matter whether it is the boss of an entertainment company, a so-called top artist, or some famous director, their success is more or less due to luck.

Lin Li's professionalism and seriousness in his work made her feel both novel and a little shocked.

She has always known that Lin Li is very capable. Other people's success may be due to luck, but Lin Li's is definitely not.

Perhaps it was because of this that she subconsciously provoked Cheng Xiao, hoping to satisfy her sense of accomplishment by winning over the woman next to Lin Li.

After all, that was Lin Li’s woman!
As the dinner went on, Jiang Zhenyu's eyes would always involuntarily fall on Lin Li.

She noticed that when Lin Li talked about work, he would habitually gesture with his hands. His movements were simple and powerful, as if he was outlining a grand blueprint of "Storm" in the air.

Whenever Gong Yu raised a question, Lin Li could always quickly give a clear and concise answer with rigorous logic and clear organization, which made people convinced.

Lin Li seemed to have noticed Jiang Zhenyu's vague gaze, and occasionally turned his head to look at her. Jiang Zhenyu would then look away in panic like a frightened deer, with her cheeks slightly flushed.

She was secretly upset in her heart, wondering how could she be easily attracted to a man?
She is very clear about her orientation and has never had much affection for men.

But the concentration and talent displayed by Lin Li seemed to have an invisible magic that made it difficult for her to resist.

Halfway through the dinner, the topic unconsciously shifted from "Rapid Growth" to industry trends.

A senior executive of Kiwifruit couldn't help but sigh: "The current film and television market is changing too fast, and the audience's tastes are becoming more and more sophisticated. It is really not easy to make a good drama that is both critically acclaimed and commercially popular."

Another executive echoed the sentiment, saying, "Yes, and now the competition is getting more and more intense. All major platforms are desperately trying to grab high-quality content. We at Kiwifruit are able to win "Biao", so we must seize this opportunity."

“Indeed, market changes are challenges, but from another perspective, they are also opportunities.

"As long as we can stick to quality and produce works that are truly meaningful and profound, we will have no problem finding audiences to buy them."

"Storm is a great opportunity. We must seize this opportunity and create a phenomenal work with a wide influence."

Lin Li took over the conversation, smiled confidently.

Jiang Zhenyu listened to their conversation and looked at Lin Li's handsome profile. Her long eyelashes couldn't help but tremble.

Time passed quietly as we toasted each other, and before we knew it, the dinner was coming to an end.

Gong Yu raised his glass again and said with a smile on his face: "Boss Lin, I really benefited a lot from having a deep chat with you today. I look forward to our cooperation on the Kuangbiao project going smoothly and being a great success!"

“With Mr. Gong’s good words, I believe that with our efforts, we will be able to create a masterpiece.”

"We at Nanxun Culture will never let Mr. Gong down."

Lin Li also raised his glass and responded confidently.

After saying that, they both raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.

Then, everyone stood up and prepared to leave.

Lin Li turned around and his eyes inadvertently met Jiang Zhenyu's. Looking at her watery eyes, he seemed to catch something different from Jiang Zhenyu's eyes.

At this time, Jiang Zhenyu lowered his head in panic and quickly stood up to give up his seat.

Seeing this, Lin Li curled his lower lip and looked at her with aggressive eyes.

Gong Yu, who was standing by, took in the entire scene. He turned his eyes away and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Boss Lin, we've all drunk so much today, and it's getting late. It's probably too late to go back to school. I'll arrange a room for you and let Jiang Jiang take you there to rest."

Gong Yu looked concerned and spoke caringly.

Jiang Zhenyu's body suddenly tensed up, and she looked up at him in surprise. After meeting his gaze, she immediately lowered her head again.

"That's fine. I can't go back to the dormitory so late. I'll have to trouble Mr. Gong."

Lin Li did not pretend to refuse and agreed directly.

"Jiang Jiang, you have to get Mr. Lin to his room safely."

Gong Yu looked at Jiang Zhenyu and warned him meaningfully.

"must."

Jiang Zhenyu pursed his lips, lowered his eyebrows and said in a pleasing manner.

The moment she raised her eyes, she saw Lin Li's meaningful look.
