The straight man in the entertainment circle

After the director named Zhou left, the Poetry Association finally became quiet.

Zhao Liren was afraid that Lin Li would be angry, so he smiled and said, "Director Zhou is like this, President Lin, don't be angry."

"Who is this person?" Lin Li was not angry, but curious.

"His name is Zhou Sheng, from the Calligraphy Association." Ye Shengqiang said.

"From what he said, he seems to look down on our Poetry Association, right?"

After Lin Li finished speaking, several other people smiled awkwardly. They thought that it wasn't you who caused such a big fuss last year. The Poetry Association has such a bad reputation. No one in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles thinks highly of the Poetry Association. Many people are even ashamed to associate with it. .

Lin Li saw their expressions and guessed. Originally, Lin Li planned to just eat and go back, but now Lin Li planned to stay and take a look.

A corgi appeared in the hotel at some point. It was standing at Lin Li's feet with its head held high and its tongue sticking out, as if it was begging for food.

Lin Li saw it and fed it some food. The dog was very happy and kept jumping around at Lin Li's feet.

"Hey, why is there a dog here?"

Ayu also noticed the dog and squatted down to tease it.

The dog was teased by Lin Li and Ayu and started running around.

After a while, the corgi jumped under the wine table next door. People at that table were drinking. Suddenly, they felt something under their feet. When they took a look, they saw a dog.

"What's the situation, why is there a dog!" one person complained.

"This small restaurant is really informal. I guess it was raised by the boss."

Ayu stood up to hug her, but a middle-aged man at the table raised his foot and kicked the corgi hard, sending the puppy flying out from under the wine table.

The puppy was kicked and rolled all over the floor, but Ayu didn't even hug it.

"You damn beast, get out of here!" The man chewed and cursed.

Ayu felt a little distressed when she saw the puppy whining in pain, and glared at the person who kicked the dog.

The man was about fifty years old, with a goatee and a Chinese tunic suit. When he saw Ayu glare at him, he stopped eating and asked, "Is this dog yours?"

"no."

"Then why are you staring at me!?" The man accused Ayu.

"Then why are you kicking the dog?" Ayu countered.

The man looked at Ayu and said, "I don't like it. What's wrong?"

Zhao Liren and others hurriedly came forward to smooth things over and said, "Master Shao Yan, I'm sorry, this is the Ivory anchor. President Xu asked me to invite him."

After Zhao Liren finished speaking, he said to Ayu: "Anchor Ayu, this is Shao Yan, the master of traditional Chinese painting."

The man named Shao Yan glanced at Ayu and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, why is there such a yellow-haired girl? She turns out to be an anchor. Is this girl famous? Lao Xu invited her here?"

"She is very famous. She is the number one anchor in Ivory."

Shao Yan said "Oh" and said, "Oh, no wonder you are so rude."

After Shao Yan finished speaking, he pointedly said to the people at the same table: "Let me tell you, I have seen a piece of news before, saying that the online live broadcast industry is very chaotic now, with all kinds of private skin and flesh transactions, and there is no serious content. Just posting nonsense on the Internet and calling out handsome bosses, just like that kind of street girl. Oh, it’s really a tragedy of the times. Anyway, I won’t let my grandson watch these messy anchors.”

Shao Yan has a very high self-esteem and is old-fashioned. He looks down on network anchors and thinks they are just showboaters, and he has no good impression of Ayu.

In fact, the very conservative older generation does have some prejudices against the live broadcast industry, but not many are as extreme as Shao Yan.

Ayu was very angry after hearing what Shao Yan said. However, quarreling with others was not her strong point, so she could only feel ashamed and angry.

At this time Lin Li came with the dog in his arms.

"Who is this guy?" Lin Li asked, tapping Shao Yan with his chin.

Lin Li was even more rude when he spoke directly about this guy. He didn't take Shao Yan seriously at all.

Shao Yan glanced at Lin Li and sneered: "You are Lin Li, right?"

Shao Yan didn't care much about entertainment stars, but the news about Lin Li and the Poetry Association at the end of last year made many people in the cultural circle who had never cared about entertainment stars get to know him.

Lin Li ignored him and looked at Ye Shengqiang.

"He is a master of traditional Chinese painting, Shao Yan, who is very famous in the circle."

Ye Shengqiang specifically said that he was famous and hoped that Lin Li would be merciful.

"Oh, no wonder you have such a bad mouth!"

Lin Li imitated Shao Yan's tone and spoke with disdain.

Not to mention that Ayu was his friend, he still invited him here today. Even though he and Ayu didn't know each other, Shao Yan's behavior just now made Lin Li angry.

No matter who you are, master, in Lin Li's eyes, what Shao Yan did and said was just a bastard who relies on his old age and betrays his old age!

Shao Yan frowned, glanced at Lin Li, then at Ayu, and said, "He is your girlfriend, you stand up for her?"

Lin Li shook his head and said, "No, I just look at you like a dog, and I just look at you for your displeasure!"

As soon as Lin Li finished speaking, everyone nearby fell silent, and even Zhao Liren did not dare to smooth things over.

This group of people had seen Lin Li's anger before, and no one dared to provoke him again. Moreover, this time Lin Li attacked Shao Yan, the distinguished guest invited by Xu Taiyue, and everyone was afraid of getting burned!

Shao Yan threw his chopsticks and glared at Lin Li: "What did you say?!"

"What, do you think your words are unpleasant? Why don't you think about whether what you just said was unpleasant or not?"

Lin Li stared at Shao Yan. Shao Yan and Lin Li looked at each other for a while, but were forced back by Lin Li's strong aura and extremely sharp eyes.

"Okay, I won't argue with you juniors, and don't be an eyesore in front of us."

Zhao Liren and others hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them to make peace, and Ayu also took Lin Li back, so the conflict did not break out.

After everyone finished eating, Xu Taiyue picked up the phone and asked, "Has everyone finished eating?"

"It's done!" Everyone put down their chopsticks and said.

"Okay, now that we've finished eating, let's go up to the second floor."

Xu Taiyue gave the order, and everyone went to the second floor. Someone from Lin Li's side came over immediately and said, "The person doing the live broadcast...is you?"

Ayu nodded: "It's me."

"Oh, President Xu asked me to inform you that the live broadcast can begin."

Seeing that the time was about the same, Ayu set up the equipment and started the live broadcast.

Ayu introduced the live broadcast for a while, then the camera moved to Lin Li and asked Lin Li to say hello to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

【I'm coming! Come and see Lin Li. 】

[Lin Li is so handsome, I can do it! 】

【Ayu is also very cute today! 】

[Ayu has become a lot more feminine around Lin Li, haha. 】

[Where is this place? I want to meet Lin Li and Ayu. 】

[Why is Lin Li holding a dog, so cute! 】

…………

After Lin Li said hello, he hugged the dog and Ayu and went upstairs.

Upstairs is an empty banquet hall, with all the tables and chairs put away, and a small stage.

There is a large desk on the stage. There are some pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the desk, and some calligraphy and paintings hanging behind it.

Xu Taiyue stood on the stage and waited for everyone to enter before saying: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. We made a lot of achievements last year, and there were also some things that were not very satisfactory, but these have all passed." Well, our main purpose today is to get to know each other and communicate with each other. Today we also invited three masters from the Calligraphy Association, the Art Association, and the Writers Association to communicate with us. Everyone is welcome!"

The exchange party officially begins!

To Lin Li's surprise, two of the three people who walked onto the stage to the applause were Zhou Sheng and Shao Yan who had just forced him to drink.

"I think everyone should know these three people on the stage, but I still want to make a grand introduction. This is President Yang of the Writers Association. President Yang's "The Wind and Waves" created this year won the Everyone Literature Award last year. , and President Yang himself has also won the title of Outstanding Chinese Literary and Art Worker. We congratulate President Yang..."

There was applause from below.

"Next, this is Director Zhou Sheng of the Calligraphy Association. The "Ling Fei Sutra" that Director Zhou copied last year won the gold medal of the Moxiang Cup. This calligraphy was auctioned online for more than one million, and Director Zhou reportedly Recently, I have created a book about shouting. Don’t worry about what it looks like in detail. We will see it later..."

After Xu Taiyue finished his long introduction, there was another round of applause.

"The last one is even more powerful, Master Shao Yan. Last year, Master Shao's "Spring Sky" shocked the world. He himself became an honorary member of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and was called the Light of China by overseas media. …”

Xu Taiyue introduced the three people on the stage one by one. Sure enough, they all had various titles and honors, and it was difficult for Xu Taiyue to remember them all.

There was also applause from below.

President Yang and Shao Yan looked condescending. Only Zhou Sheng was different, because Zhou Sheng drank too much and couldn't stand very steadily, so he couldn't show off any condescension.

"Let's first ask President Yang of the Writers' Association to give us a speech!" Xu Taiyue said.

Everyone applauded. Lin Li had also met President Yang of the Writers Association when the Poetry Association had dinner together.

President Yang picked up the manuscript and began to read it.

President Yang read a lot of words with great literary talent, but he didn't know what he was talking about. He was worthy of being a member of the Writers' Association. This is what the saying "the body and mind are scattered" probably means this.

Netizens had already become impatient after hearing so much during Ayu’s live broadcast.

[This party is so boring, I might as well play a game. 】

[I don’t understand what that person was saying just now. 】

[Maybe it’s because I’m awesome and I don’t blame you if you don’t understand me. 】

[Ayu, let’s take a look at Lin Li. It’s really boring to see these bad old men. 】

[Even looking at the dog just now was much more interesting than this. 】

…………

on the stage.

After President Yang finished reading, the audience applauded.

Xu Taiyue continued: "President Yang is really talented and admirable. The following person is Director Zhou. Haha, our Director Zhou is happy today. He probably drank too much. I wonder if he can show us his recent research. Where is the book?"

Before Xu Taiyue finished speaking, Zhou Sheng came up and said, "I'm not drunk. I'm really not drunk. That... give me the microphone... Since Chairman Xu asked me to show off my skills, I can't hide them." Now, this is a book... Uh... I won’t say anything anymore, bring me a pen and paper, and I’ll write it for everyone to read.”

Zhou Sheng's drunken appearance made many people laugh, and the scene suddenly became a little joyful.

Even the atmosphere in Ayu's live broadcast room became joyful.

[This guy is drunk, which is funny. 】

[Don’t you know this? Calligraphy requires everyone to be drunk when writing calligraphy in order to perform at their best. 】

[Where did you hear these fallacies? 】

[Hooshu, what the hell is this? 】

[I guess I chose this name because I made a roaring sound after seeing it. 】

[Hahaha, this explanation is very strong! 】

[I think I’ve heard a little bit about it, everyone, watch it, there’s something good to watch. 】

…………

On the stage, two female guests spread out the paper and began to grind the ink again.

After some preparations, Zhou Sheng was seen squatting in a good posture, holding a brush soaked in ink, and first made several gestures on the white paper with the brush as if reciting a spell.

"ah!"

Suddenly Zhou Sheng shouted and slammed the brush down hard.

This cry was so sudden that many people were startled.

Everyone around them opened their eyes wide. Since the art of calligraphy, everyone has seen many calligraphers' quirks, but this is the first time they have seen someone directly punch down the brush, and it was accompanied by a weird cry. It doesn’t feel like writing, more like...an enhanced version of Zha Xiaoren?

However, what surprised everyone was still behind.

"Ah!"

"Ahhhh!!"

"ah!"

Zhou Sheng didn't know whether he was drunk or did it on purpose. When he swung the brush, he was always accompanied by very fierce shouts, and his body kept twisting, as if someone was beating a primary school student doing homework with a whip.

With roars and body shaking coquettishly, Zhou Sheng finally finished writing.

When everyone saw it, they were all dumbfounded...

Because no one recognized what Zhou Sheng wrote.

All you can see on the paper is ink marks dragged by the brush, without paying any attention to the layout or organization. The dripping ink is ignored. Even the most imaginative person in the world cannot imagine what this is. word or words.

The whole audience was silent, Zhou Sheng was really drunk!

[It’s so funny, bro! 】

[Haha, what’s this guy’s name? I remember him! 】

[Awesome, I don’t know how it will be when singing with this voice. It’s not a big problem to shout out the microphone! 】

[Seeing the "words" he wrote, I suspected that I had not read the book! 】

[Why doesn’t this brother act in a comedy? I think it’s very interesting. 】

[I understand why it’s called Roaring Books, but it’s a bit draining! 】

[I suggest you give this brother some Golden Throat lozenges to express our respect. 】

[I, Lin, would like to call you the strongest calligrapher! 】

…………

Xu Taiyue on the stage was also a little embarrassed, and it took him a while to come up with the words.

"Um...Director Zhou, is this your new book of roaring?"

Zhou Sheng looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Taiyue asked curiously: "Can you tell me what you wrote?"

Zhou Sheng said with a profound look: "What is written is not words, but a spirit, an innovative spirit. I am here today to bring this spirit to everyone. We literary and artistic creators cannot stick to form. We must Be brave and innovate.”

After Zhou Sheng finished speaking, many people suddenly clapped their hands.

This is what is called entertaining, right?

High, really high!

Anyway, after finally finding a way down the stairs, Xu Taiyue said hurriedly: "Director Zhou is indeed a pioneer in innovation. Let's give Director Zhou some applause!"

Now everyone also applauded Mianzi.

When the applause stopped, Xu Taiyue focused on the last Shao Yan.

"Today I heard that Master Shao also painted on site, right?"

Shao Yan said: "Director Zhou has already shown off his unique skills. I have to show off my skills no matter what. When it comes to innovation, I am not willing to lag behind others. My painting today is really very innovative. As you know, I lived there for three years last year. After months in the hospital, I was facing the syringe every day. Hey, after leaving the hospital, I still missed it a little, so I thought about using it in my creations. Today I also used the syringe to paint for the first time on site. , everyone, please stop laughing.”

Now when everyone heard this, they applauded one after another. The shouting book had opened their eyes. They had never heard of syringe painting, so they naturally wanted to see what kind of paintings Shao Yan could make.
