The straight man in the entertainment circle

When Lin Li finished singing the song "Really Love You", the scene was filled with excitement.

On the other side of the Internet, the emotional resonance caused by this song is even greater among netizens!

It's simple, because many people have typed out the lyrics on the Internet barrage, and even those who don't understand the lyrics know what Lin Li is singing!

This year's Mother's Day, as in the past, the trending search was on for several hours. Major celebrities retweeted some words of confession to their mothers, and some singers also sent songs dedicated to their mothers.

But all this did not cause much discussion, because it seems that this has been the case over the years.

However, Lin Li's song "Really Love You" perfectly vents all young people's gratitude and guilt for their mothers, allowing those words that cannot be spoken to be sung so affectionately.

In just half an hour, Lin Li's "Really Love You" entry became a hot search topic!

When there is only one hour left on Mother's Day, everyone seems to have remembered that today is Mother's Day.

"I have the opportunity to take my mother to Lin Li's concert!"

"This song can be regarded as the best song for Mother's Day."

"I miss my mom, call her now and tell her I love her!"

"There's still an hour left. I have to practice this song. I'll call my mom later and sing this song. I hope she can understand."

"Wow, I would be so happy to have a son like Lin Li!"

"I cried!"

…………

This night, countless parents were awakened by the sound of phone calls in their sleep.

Countless middle-aged people, for the first time in their lives, heard their children singing Lin Li’s songs in non-standard Cantonese!

For the first time, they learned about a singer named Lin Li in China!

………………

The show "The Big Show" is over.

The program team held a celebration banquet at the hotel, and most people attended.

Whether it was because he really had something to leave, or because he felt unhappy when he saw Lin Li taking Zhang Dashong's lead male lead, neither Guo Xiaoshan nor Gao Yu showed up at the celebration banquet.

The hotel is brightly lit, and the atmosphere is lively with people drinking and drinking.

Chen Qingqing and Lin Li stood together, obviously becoming the most noticed point at the party.

Everyone stepped forward to congratulate these two people, even Yang Mo politely stepped forward to congratulate them.

Yang Mo is a shrewd man. Lin Li and Chen Qingqing have won Zhang Dashong's male and female lead. They will have to deal with each other in the industry in the future, and they still have to be decent in terms of face.

Liu Chun changed into a private suit and walked up to Lin Li and Chen Qingqing.

"Congratulations to both of you! Let me toast you two." Liu Chun raised the red wine in his hand.

Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "I don't know how to drink. Sister Liu Chun, you don't mind if I drink orange juice instead, right?"

"I don't mind. It's better not to drink. I didn't drink before, but then..."

Liu Chun did not say any more, smiled bitterly, and looked at Chen Qingqing with an envious look in his eyes.

Liu Chun has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years without a backer, and her appearance has lost her advantage with age. For her, Chen Qingqing, a young and beautiful actor who is appreciated by a big director, is really I can't envy you.

Lin Li had a slight change in his view of Liu Chun tonight.

Liu Chun worked hard and uncomplainingly, and relieved Yi Zhuo's burden a lot tonight. Moreover, she was also good at adapting to situations and was very good at talking. It stands to reason that a person with a sexy label like her, as long as she is willing to cling to some rich people, at least not As it is now, there are almost no resources.

Seeing that Liu Chun dressed quite conservatively in private, Lin Li speculated that Liu Chun was not tainted by the social circle, but at least he was still a person with a bottom line.

"Lin Li, congratulations to you too." Liu Chung raised his glass to Lin Li and smiled.

"Thanks."

Lin Li and Liu Chun clinked glasses and took a sip of red wine.

"Your song tonight is really nice. Can I listen to it on the Internet tomorrow?" Liu Chunxiao asked.

Lin Li said: "Okay, I will upload it when I get back."

"That's good. I'll wait tonight. I won't sleep until I wait! I'm still waiting to learn it and sing it to my mother tomorrow."

Chen Qingqing said: "Sister Liu Chun, do you speak Cantonese?"

Liu Chun smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I lived in Xiangjiang for two years, and I understand Lin Li's lyrics. They were so well written that I almost cried."

In the early days, Xiangjiang film and television dramas had a great influence. Many stars in the mainland have developed, but only a few have developed well.

Lin Li suddenly said to Liu Chun: "Sister Liu Chun, if you have time next time, I have a role as a policewoman in my movie. You can try it."

Liu Chun was stunned, reacted for a while, and said with a little excitement: "Lin Li, are you inviting me to act in your movie?"

"Yes, but it's just a supporting role. She is a colleague of the second male lead. She doesn't have many scenes. But regarding the incident involving the protagonist, she and the second male lead have a fierce argument scene. If you are interested, I can give you the script first. Have a look."

Hearing Lin Li speak so sincerely, Liu Chun said without even thinking, "Don't look any further, I'm so happy to join your crew!"

Lin Lidao: "I'll gather a group of actors. You can join in. I'll let your agent contact our company later and sign the contract."

Liu Chun was overjoyed and said: "Okay, okay, I really didn't expect to be the host of this show and also got a role, haha, I made a profit!"

Lin Li took out his mobile phone and found that many people had sent congratulatory messages. Lin Li didn't have time to read it, so he started a group chat and added Liu Chun to it.

Then Lin Li brought in the already confirmed actors, Chen Qingqing, Zhang Chaolun and Ge Erdan.

Liu Chun started to say hello and chat with Ge Erdan and Zhang Chaolun in the group.

After a while, Leng Ying came over. She nodded to Chen Qingqing, said "Hi", and then walked to Lin Li.

"Hey Lin Li, you have such a good song and you don't give it to me. It's really not fun!"

Leng Ying scolded her irritably, and Lin Li smiled and said, "You don't know Cantonese, so you can use it yourself."

"I can learn if I don't know how!"

"Then what do you mean, do you want me to write a Cantonese song for you?" Lin Lida said.

Leng Ying curled her lips and said, "Can I sing better than you did tonight?"

"Then I can't guarantee it." Lin Li shrugged.

"Forget it." Leng Ying said.

"What type of song do you want?" Lin Li asked.

Leng Ying suddenly smiled weirdly and said, "This album of mine is all about love songs, but the shortcoming is, I just remembered that there is no love song duet. Can you write me a love song between a man and a woman?"

Lin Li thought for a while and asked, "Sweeter or crueler?"

Leng Ying thought about it seriously and said, "The emotions in the album are all sad. Songs that are all sad are not good. Why don't you write something sweeter."

"Okay, I'll give it to you within three days." Lin Li said.

Leng Ying glanced at Lin Li enviously and said, "Three days? Don't fool me!"

"Don't worry, if I fool you, I can give it to you now."

"Well, talented people speak boldly!" Leng Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I'll wait for your news!"

After Leng Ying finished speaking and was about to leave, she suddenly turned to Lin Li and said, "Congratulations, Director Zhang's leading male lead!"

Lin Li smiled, Leng Ying waved her hand and walked away.

Chen Qingqing came over and whispered: "Brother Lin, I also want to sing, why don't you write a song for me too!"

"You? Can you sing?" Lin Li frowned in doubt.

"Yes! May I tell you a few words?" Chen Qingqing was confident and cleared her throat, "Milk, milk, delicious. One cup a day, good songs, good songs..."

What Chen Qingqing sang was a children's song from this world. If you listen to it as a children's song, what Chen Qingqing sang was quite cute. But from a professional perspective, Lin Li could tell that ordinary people couldn't reach Chen Qingqing's level. If I sing a pop song, I'm afraid I'll go off-key and end up in outer space.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Li quickly stopped Chen Qingqing.

"How about it, is it okay?" Chen Qingqing smiled.

Lin Li said: "Your voice is not worthy of my singing."

Chen Qingqing: "..."

While the two were talking, Li Tong suddenly came over, and the two suddenly restrained themselves.

Li Tong walked towards the two of them, looked them over, and said, "I won't say congratulations. I came here because I wanted to add your contact information."

In the entertainment industry, there is an unwritten rule that minor celebrities will not easily ask big celebrities for their contact information, because this is considered impolite. Big celebrities are most afraid of being asked to contact them everywhere. way, that would bore them.

Only when big celebrities take the initiative to ask small celebrities for their contact information is it a sign of appreciation and recognition, and is the correct way to socialize.

Of course, if two people are of similar status, it depends on their relationship.

That's why Li Tong took the initiative to ask for the contact information of Lin Li and Chen Qingqing.

Both Chen Qingqing and Lin Li were a little surprised. Naturally, they would not refuse. From a personal and professional perspective, Lin Li and Chen Qingqing both admired actors like Li Tong.

After adding her contact information, Li Tong put away her phone. She stared at Lin Li for a while and said with a smile: "Lin Li, there is no doubt that Chen Qingqing is my favorite in this show, but to be honest, you surprised me the most. "

Lin Li smiled and said, "Why did I surprise you?"

Li Tong thought for a while and said, "I can't describe the feeling. Anyway... I feel like you don't look like someone who would appear in our circle."

"Uh... I think this is a word of praise!" Lin Li laughed.

Li Tong said: "Your program tonight was improvised by you, right?"

Lin Li was stunned, and Chen Qingqing was also stunned and looked at Lin Li.

"Senior Li Tong really has a sharp eye." Lin Li said with a smile, "He really showed his ability on the spot."

Chen Qingqing suddenly reacted and whispered: "Ah, no wonder it wasn't like this when I saw the rehearsal before. I thought it was your group that changed it later. It turned out to be their manipulation on the stage!"

Lin Li smiled and did not continue on this topic.

Li Tong looked at Lin Li with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"You guys work hard, I hope to see you at foreign film festivals in the near future."

Li Tong gave Chen Qingqing and Lin Li high expectations. After speaking, Li Tong was about to leave, but Lin Li stopped her.

"Senior Li Tong."

"Um?"

Lin Li hesitated for a while, then said: "I have something very presumptuous, but I still want to ask you."

Li Tong was suddenly curious and said, "Tell me."

"Would you like to join my crew? I have a role that I think is suitable for you." Lin Li asked.

Li Tong glanced at Chen Qingqing and said lightly: "Don't you have a female lead?"

"Uh... the role you play... is not the first female lead."

Lin Li was afraid to look into Li Tong's eyes for a while, fearing that she would fall out.

Li Tong showed a very strange expression and said: "You know, I have been the leading female lead since my debut, and I have never played the second female lead!"

Lin Li corrected: "Also...not the second female lead, but the heroine's mother. Her role is probably ranked third or fourth among female characters..."

Li Tong laughed and said, "In other words, if you include male characters, the role you gave me might not even be in the top five in your movie?"

Lin Li didn't want to hide it and nodded.

Chen Qingqing thought Lin Li was crazy and wanted to interrupt, but didn't know what to say.

Li Tong was really a little angry when she heard Lin Li admit it. She said, "Lin Li, do you think I'm outdated? Let me tell you, in recent years, major directors in American Hollywood have asked me to play the second female lead and the third female lead. I haven’t even agreed, so why do you think I’m willing to play a female supporting role in your movie?”

Lin Li saw that Li Tongzhen was a little offended, but he was not so worried. He straightened up and said, "I don't think you did it because you didn't really want to play the second or third female lead. I think if their script is enough Okay, I am impressed enough that you are still willing to consider it.”

Lin Li hit the nail on the head. The reason why Li Tong didn't take on those second-girl and third-girl roles in American Hollywood was not because she couldn't play other than heroines, but because the images of Yazhou women portrayed in those scripts made Li Tong Very uncomfortable.

They are all stereotypes of people from the Lighthouse Country, and Li Tongcai is not willing to act.

If, as Lin Li said, there was a good script with enough touching stories and characters for her to cast, Li Tong would be willing and even eager to act.

"Even if what you said makes sense, I can play a supporting female role, but with all due respect, only Zhang Dasong and two other directors in China are qualified to ask me to play a supporting female role for them. It is also a friendly appearance. Do you think you can Do you want to compare with Director Zhang Dasong and the others?"

Lin Lidao: "Of course we can't compare now, but we can't say for sure in the future."

Li Tong stared at Lin Li for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "I like your confidence!"

Chen Qingqing quickly helped, saying, "Senior Li Tong, I believe he can do it."

Li Tong's eyes glanced back and forth at the faces of Lin Li and Chen Qingqing. She suddenly seemed to admit defeat and said, "I have to read the script first!"

After saying that, Li Tong slowly left.

Li Tong's tone was a little disappointed, but also a little hopeful.

What's disappointing is that she seems to feel that she is old. Although she seems to be at the top of the entertainment industry, the influence of Chinese movie stars is too small on a global scale.

The expectation is that she feels that the unfinished business of her generation may be completed by the next generation!

This world will eventually be handed over from their hands to the hands of the younger generation like Lin Li, Chen Qingqing!

In this case, why not choose the people you like and help them?

Hearing that Li Tong finally showed signs of relenting, Chen Qingqing suddenly grabbed Lin Li's hand and said excitedly: "Brother Lin, Senior Li Tong is... agreeing?"

Lin Li said: "Stop calling me senior. If she agrees, you will have to change your name to mother!"

Chen Qingqing: "..."
