Chapter 1 Unexpected Encounters (Flashback)

Two years ago -

"Audition for the lead role in "Flower Shadow"? I'm not a screenwriter, why should I participate? ”

The afternoon sun shines warmly through the gauze curtains on the table by the window, a crystal vase on the black and white checkered tablecloth has a bright red rose, and the two lattes on the table have beautiful heart-shaped latte art, the brimbles are steaming, and the soft and slow music echoes in every corner of the café.

A rare laid-back good time.

Chen Ling looked at Lin Han, who was sitting opposite, with a white face full of doubts, and sighed very emotionally, this girl seems to have eaten preservatives for so many years, and she is as clean and refreshing as when she was a student, and she has not been poisoned by society and materials.

Thinking of that person's eyes as deep as a secluded pool, Chen Ling inevitably felt a trace of guilt and uneasiness in her heart, she was really a little sorry for Lin Han!

"My aunt, this is your own novel, don't you go and take a look, aren't you afraid that I will ruin your Beiming Qingyue and Weiyang Flower Shadow?" Chen Ling suppressed his heart and said with a strange hatred.

"You won't." Chen Ling, a top-level "face control", basically chooses the male and female protagonists who are not too bad.

Chen Ling held her cheek with her left hand, and the coffee in the coffee cup on her right hand was steaming, there was a sentence she had put in her heart for a long time, and she felt that she would definitely be uncomfortable if she didn't ask, "Now many online authors will choose to be screenwriters in addition to selling the copyright of their novels, Xiaohan, you haven't thought about it......"

After all, she is a best friend who has played since she was a child, and if she can participate in the adaptation of "Flower Shadow", it will definitely become a hit, which will be beneficial and harmless to CL.

"No need to talk! When did I say I wanted to be a screenwriter? ”

This year, the screenwriter's bowl of rice is not delicious, and it is even more thankless than the online writer, she is still good at writing honestly!

Besides, if it weren't for Chen Ling being the CEO of CL Media, she wouldn't have sold copyrights!

After all, it is a very mysterious thing for the characters of the two-dimensional novel to be reflected in reality, it is difficult for the perfect integration of the drama version and the book version, as far as the current internal entertainment is concerned, the traffic is swiped, the capital is in charge, and they all want to make quick money, and there are few people who are willing to sink down and carefully figure out the acting skills, so it is actually very challenging for the film and television company to adapt the IP, catering to the capital and choosing the untimely role, the audience does not buy it, respect the audience's aesthetics and enable actors without traffic, the audience is beautiful, but the traffic capital behind it cannot afford to offend.

Therefore, most film and television companies do not dare to take this risk.

Fortunately, CL Media has enough confidence, and it is already one of the few film and television companies that concentrate on making dramas, which is why Lin Han is not worried that her novels will be turned into bad dramas to the point that she doesn't dare to admit it, Chen Ling's team She is very relieved.

Chen Ling took a sip of latte, "You are stubborn!" Who in this society will not bow to capital? You are not RMB, where can you guarantee that everyone likes you, and besides, the fan base of your novel is so good, it's a pity not to be a screenwriter, how do you know that you can't be a good screenwriter? ”

"Isn't Tian Tian your company's top screenwriter? "Flower Shadow" was handed over to her for adaptation, and I was very relieved. ”

Chen Ling thought about it, yes, she still has Tian Tian's magic weapon! is the top gold medal screenwriter in China, and her real money is not in vain.

Lin Han stirred the latte in the cup and looked at the shadows of the trees outside the window in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a bustle, and a young man wearing sunglasses suddenly broke into her sight, and from a short distance, Lin Han's heart slammed hard.

Tall and thin, wearing a light blue shirt and white trousers, the man was full of an elegant temperament, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged into Lin Han's heart.

The man was protected by a burly assistant, and he couldn't stop the reporters with cameras on his back, as well as the agent with a mobile phone, who looked so lively.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Ling saw Lin Han looking out of the window in a daze, leaning over to take a look.

"Your company's artist?" Lin Han asked.

Opposite this café is CL Media's corporate headquarters, as well as the largest five-star hotel in S City, Xinghai Tianchen.

Chen Ling looked at the familiar figure, and then looked at Lin Han's obviously unrecognizable appearance, and laughed meaningfully, "No." ”

"Oh." Lin Han retracted her gaze and took a sip of the latte with milk, obviously it was mellow, but Lin Han actually drank the bitter taste that she didn't like unsweetened black coffee.

"Not curious?" Chen Ling asked tentatively, looking at the expression on her face inquiringly.

"It's just a star, what's the big deal."

"Maybe it's an acquaintance!"

Lin Han didn't answer, and drank the coffee in the cup slowly.

…………

There are cars and people in front of Tianhai Xingchen Hotel, the stars are shining, and the fans of each family are waiting outside the hotel for their idols to appear. Security personnel are dutifully responsible for maintaining order.

The big IP and big production mode of "Flower Shadow" naturally attracted a lot of popular traffic and actors to audition, which caused a lot of excitement outside the hotel.

"Flower Shadow" has laid its unusual position in the online literature industry since the day of its birth, and unlike the old-fashioned sadomasochism of "three lives and three lives" and "ten lives and ten lives" in the traditional sense, "Flower Shadow" is an extremely rare rebirth type of Xianxia drama.

It tells the story of the heroine Weiyang Huaying has a dual godhead, the main godhead is lively and smart, simple and kind, the deputy godhead is quiet and gentle, deep and paranoid, in the previous life with the male protagonist Beiming Qingyue, the male two hundred miles Shaoqing have had emotional entanglements, and finally the deputy godhead defeated the main godhead and Baili Shaoqing to achieve a positive result, the main godhead refused to dissipate because of obsession, the Buddha promised her and the North Mingqingyue in the afterlife in order to eliminate the resentment of the main godhead, and finally triggered a series of stories between the male protagonist Beiming Qingyue, Baili Shaoqing and the second female Murong Pujia.

When Lin Han was dragged to the door of the hotel by Chen Ling, he wanted to retreat when he saw such a posture.

"Otherwise, let's go back! So many people ......"

Chen Ling saw her cowardice, and dragged her more and more and refused to let go, "Bao, can this girl still let you in here?" ”

Let's figure it out, is this audition organized by her? What if there are more people? Can you still get in?

Chen Ling pulled Lin Han to the door, straightened up and took off his sunglasses, Yang Rui, the vice president of the CL planning department who maintained order at the door, saw that the boss was busy stepping forward, and nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Chen, you are here, you are waiting inside!" You please, please! ”

Chen Ling nodded with satisfaction, Yang Rui is a good person, she can succeed, she is very relieved.

Lin Han still wanted to break free from Chen Ling and run away, but he was dragged by this girl and didn't let go, Chen Ling said that she would get Lin Han in today, after all, that person was still there! She's been waiting for this day for a long time!

Lin Han looked at the people on the left and right, all of them were cameras, and there were fans and mobile phones holding selfie sticks, so he could only endure being dragged into the hotel door by this girl for the sake of face.

When I entered the door, there were no cameras and reporters and fans like the crowd, after all, it was an audition, so it was naturally a lot quieter.

Lin Han was carried by Chen Ling through the hotel lobby, got on the elevator on the left and went straight to the conference hall on the 28th floor, and met many popular celebrities who have been active in film and television dramas and movies over the years, and inevitably stopped to say hello.

Lin Han, as an online author, is usually quite low-key, and he has little sense of presence standing next to Chen Ling, but he is still seen by the celebrity agents who are the best at observing words and emotions on weekdays, even if he can't guess Lin Han's identity for a while, he doesn't dare to slack off and be respectful.

After a pleasantry, Chen Ling's face did not change, but Lin Han felt a little unbearable, she is an online writer, usually except for writing the circle, she has always been relatively simple, and she really can't do it as easily as Chen Ling.

Chen Ling greeted people all the way and led Lin Han into the hall.

This is the largest conference hall of Tianhai Xingchen, but at this time, lights and cameras have been added because of the needs of auditions, leaving enough space for actors to audition.

"Tian Tian!" Chen Ling saw Tian Tian, one of the casting directors and screenwriters of "Flower Shadow" standing next to the stage at a glance.

"Hey, Mr. Chen!" Tian Tian was originally looking at the script of today's actor audition, and when she heard Chen Ling calling her, she subconsciously raised her head, and naturally saw Lin Han next to Chen Ling.

Lin Han was a little embarrassed to call her when he saw Tian Tian, "Sister Tian Tian." ”

"Xiao Han is here too!" Tian Tian is very happy, she likes Lin Han too much, she is talented and very low-key. If it weren't for this girl's insistence on refusing to be a screenwriter, she really wanted to take her!

Tian Tian is 32 years old this year, 6 years older than Chen Ling and Lin Han, and is a very famous casting director and "gold medal screenwriter" in the circle.

"Are Lin Ru and Gong Yi here?" These two are screenwriters in charge of the side supporting character story line, and they belong to Light and Shadow Entertainment.

"Flower Shadow" is a co-production of CL and light and shadow, and there will also be actors over there at that time, such as Lu Yao, Ming Che and Gu Qingqing. There are Luo Yuanze, Lin Qing, Song Jie, and Shu Ran on the CL side.

Co-production dramas, there are pros and cons, I hope nothing will go wrong then.

At the beginning, Light and Shadow proposed to co-produce and buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Flower Shadow", with light and shadow as the mainstay, supplemented by CL, and Light and Shadow was responsible for all the overall planning and most of the capital investment.

Chen Ling actually didn't agree at first, if someone didn't use favors to pressure her, how could she nod and agree?

"It's already at the door."

At this moment, a man walking outside the door attracted Lin Han's attention.

Wearing a light blue shirt and white trousers, the warm and handsome man walked into the hall, and the clean white leather shoes stepped on the soft red carpet, and the perfect facial features that were hidden by sunglasses at a glance were presented unreservedly in front of Lin Han's eyes at this moment.

Black and thick black hair, under the bangs is a pair of eyes as deep as a deep pool, because of the double eyelids, the eyes appear particularly large, the lying silkworm under the eyes is the icing on the cake of this perfect face, the perfect face shape, the straight nose bridge like a mountain, the thin and suitable lips, plus the superior body shape.

More than ten years of classical dance foundation has made his temperament suitable for the past and the present, and it can be imagined how good such a face and temperament will look in ancient costumes.

Lin Han looked at it, and was stunned unconsciously, as if he was in a different world, as if, in his memory, the boy who was still wearing a school uniform and still had no less noble spirit slowly walked towards her in the torrent of time.

"Lu Yao, long time no see!" Chen Ling was generous and held his hand tightly while the other party stretched out his hand.

"Long time no see!" Lu Yao shook Chen Ling's hand back, looked at Lin Han, who was wearing a white floral dress without powder, and endured the inexplicable surging thoughts in his heart, his face was warm and warm with a light wind, "Don't you introduce me?" ”

Introduce? Lin Han looked at him in a trance, laughing at himself, he really didn't remember her, yes, didn't he remember that she shouldn't be? Lin Han, Lin Han, what are you asking for!

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Yao who was radiant in front of him like a monster, what is this guy doing! Not him......

The expression of the man in front of him is impeccable, and there is a detached politeness in his gentleness, which is no different from when he was in high school.

"Lin Han, the original author of "Flower Shadow". Chen Ling smirked, and said every word very hard, "This is Lu Yao, an artist from Light and Shadow Media." ”

Lu Yao smiled slightly after hearing this, and his eyes seemed to be quenched with stars.

Lin Han also laughed, since he didn't know her, then she could also pretend to be a stranger, now that she thinks about it, there is no intersection between them, and her loss naturally seems ridiculous.

Simply generously took the initiative to stretch out his hand to greet, "Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm Lin Han!" ”

"Miss Lin!" Lu Yao smiled and shook her hand, the grip was a little tight, and he didn't let go when Lin Han wanted to pull out.

"Mr. Lu?" Lin Han glanced at him tentatively, wanting to remind him to let go.

"We ...... Ever seen? ”

Ever seen? Lin Han was stunned.

Suppressing the strange look in his heart, Lin Han's expression was calm, "No! ”

No? Lu Yao gritted his teeth, a ruthless woman!

"Haruka, why don't you wait for me?" Suddenly, a delicate female voice, a woman in a fiery red off-the-shoulder dress came from the crowd, her beautiful long curly hair was soft and shiny, and her delicate makeup was like a delicate and dazzling rose, Gu Qingqing had a flamboyant beauty.

Gu Qingqing saw the scene of the confrontation between two women and one man, suppressed the unwillingness in her heart, and called Lu Yao again in a soft voice, "Yao." Holding the man's hand with possessiveness, "Mr. Chen, you are here!" ”

Gu Qingqing is arrogant and arrogant, the mother of the gold owner still knows, no one in this circle will not know Chen Ling, and no one dares to ignore Chen Ling's existence, Gu Qingqing is arrogant enough and knows each other enough, she Gu Qingqing has never been a simple vase after so many years in the entertainment industry.

"Who is this?" The long-ago memory was awakened, Gu Qingqing looked at Lin Han, who didn't seem to have changed for so many years, his thoughts were very subtle, envious and jealous, and naturally he wanted to give the person in front of him a big and small dismount.

A fine light flashed in front of Chen Ling's eyes, the entertainment industry has not been in vain for so many years, Gu Qingqing has brought the so-called palace fight in the play into reality, he really deserves to be a "good actor".

"It seems that Miss Gu, your eyes are really bad, it's time to see an ophthalmologist." With this look, you still want to fight for the role of the heroine of "Flower Shadow"? I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, isn't he afraid that Lu Yao will play with other women? If you have the ability, persuade Lu Yao not to be an actor, otherwise his acting career will be ruined sooner or later, Gu Qingqing, this woman is really unpleasant in all aspects.

Chen Ling's chin lifted and she was quite sneering, she is the capital, there is no need to nod to Gu Qingqing, she just doesn't like this woman, she hasn't liked it since she was in high school, not just because of Lin Han.

Lin Han looked at the atmosphere and froze obviously, and pulled Chen Ling's sleeve to make her stop, although Gu Qingqing was nothing, but the light and shadow media behind her could not afford to offend.

"This is the one who doesn't have long eyes that makes us Mr. Chen unhappy?" The low and magnetic male voice has more of a superior majesty than Lu Yao's warmth.

Chen Ling frowned impatiently, the ghost of the guy, but she still has to deal with him for the sake of face and favor.

"No, no, absolutely not, I'm joking with Miss Gu!" The iconic Chen Ling-style smirk, this living Hades, if she didn't owe favors, she would have hid far away, "Mr. Ming, don't wronged Miss Gu!" ”

"Oh, really?" The man opposite Chen Ling had a playful expression on his face, and his falcon-like eyes hated to see through the woman in front of him. Dressed in an extremely casual white shirt, the top two buttons are open to reveal a looming delicate collarbone, wheat-colored luster, black trousers, Chen Ling knows this guy too well, it seems casual but it is actually extravagant, A

ma

i's latest style of shirt and trousers, such a casual and sassy guy who can wear it can't find a second one except for Mingche looking at the entire S City, "After all, it's my artist who is disrespectful to Mr. Chen." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingqing, who was originally arrogant, turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything, and then looked at his boss's seemingly casual but meaningful expression, yes, admit it, anyone can offend, but the owner cannot.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen......" After apologizing, he looked at Lu Yao's unfazed face beside him, and he was full of grievances for a while, tears rolled in his eyes, and sure enough, even if she was wronged, she should not be able to make waves in someone's heart, except for ......

Others can't see it, how can Gu Qingqing not see it, Lu Yao's mind is ridiculous, and the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, and some people don't know it.

"Gu Qingqing ......"

"Enough is enough!" Gentle but unmistakable sound.

Ming Che shrugged his shoulders, with an unruly and unruly expression, "Yo, our Lu Yao is distressed." ”

Gu Qingqing's tears in her eyes almost held back.

"Aren't you going to audition?" Lu Yao was as gentle as ever, and his shallow tone was as simple as ever, and Ming Che and Gu Qingqing, who were familiar with him, had already heard impatience.

"I said Lu Yao, you can figure it out, who is your boss?" This guy is TM's clear nemesis, nemesis, he can't do anything with this guy, he loses friends and dies friends, what can he do, for it!

"Don't worry! Do you want to introduce old friends to each other? Ming Che looked at Lin Han beside Chen Ling with a playful expression.

"Chen Xiaoling, can you go?" Lin Han felt embarrassed, and gently pulled Chen Ling's hand, it was better to walk away than to be embarrassed here.

Chen Ling also felt embarrassed, "Everyone, Lin Han and I will go first, see you later!" ”

Chen Ling pulled Lin Han to the conference hall where the audition was held, looked at the backs of the two of them drifting apart thoughtfully, and said to Lu Yao beside him, "Haven't you put it down yet?" ”

Lu Yao smiled, didn't answer, his heart was faintly filled with bitterness and pain, let it go? He didn't know, didn't he see her look like she was not familiar with him just now? What else could he say?

"...... Yao" Gu Qingqing saw the opportunity and wanted to hold his arm again.

Lu Yao strode forward, not intending to give someone a chance to speak.

Mingche shrugged his shoulders and knew it, forget it, do you still have the heart to tease others? Isn't he a chicken feather himself!

Chen Ling's woman......

The sweet and bitter thoughts in Mingche's heart can only be ...... Think about it......

The two men left, Gu Qingqing gritted her teeth, unwilling and angry, a shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and the white floral dress swaying in the wind was not beautiful but unforgettable.

What's on your mind right now?

Thinking of hopeless luxury?

Only she, Gu Qingqing, knew the secrets that belonged to those two people, and why did she want to tell them?
