Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 104 The War of Sweet Girls! Tiger Shadow doesn't accept saintly figures!!

Lin Xingzhuo took out a bag of cream-flavored Taihu biscuits and handed it to Mao Xiaotong, just like feeding a kitten.

Mao Xiaotong took a few bites of her biscuit and whispered, "I heard Qi Wei's manager, Ji Ye, is back, covered in bruises. She explained that she was under too much pressure and went out to relax..."

Lin Xingzhu lit a soft Jinsha Su cigarette and listened to Mao Xiaotong's story.

After Jinyuan Huwei Coal Industry, the victor in the Jinyang coal reform, stepped forward.

The president of the Ouyue Chamber of Commerce personally made the decision, demonstrating his utmost sincerity, and on the same day, Ji Ye, who was inspecting the abandoned coal mine in Maita, Shilou County, was allowed to return to Yunze City, Jiangnan Province.

Mao Xiaotong continued, "Um... Qi Wei contacted me yesterday..."

"They say she borrowed a lot of money from P2P lending platforms, did crowdfunding for her fans, and mortgaged two houses... to buy a collectible worth millions of dollars as a gift to curry favor..."

Lin Xingzhu interrupted, saying, "Xiaotong, you have many strengths, but these strengths are not suitable for the entertainment industry."

"Considering the cultural and moral levels of the Chinese entertainment industry, it is conservatively estimated that more than 90% of them are people with low cognitive abilities."

"To people with low cognitive abilities, all your strengths seem like you're easy to bully!!"

"A virtuous person fears virtue, not power; a petty person fears power, not virtue!"

This was the first time Mao Xiaotong had heard Lin Xingzhuo speak in this tone. Holding the biscuit, she lowered her head, her eyes reddening.

Lin Xingzhuo exhaled a puff of smoke, turned and left, slowly adding, "Think it over before you talk to me!"

In the peripheral fields of basketball, jersey collecting has always yielded profits of hundreds or thousands of times.

For example: Kobe's NBA debut at age 18 in the 1996 season, including jerseys from his preseason, regular season debut, and six games;

Wilt Chamberlain's jersey from the 1972 regular season when he won 69 consecutive games, leading the Lakers dynasty to victory in the Finals and winning the Finals MVP award;
LeBron James' jersey from the 2013 NBA Finals, witnessing the Heat's back-to-back championships;
All of these jerseys have a starting bid of over $300 million USD!

Major sporting events have a decisive impact on the collectible value of jerseys.

Michael Jordan's "Last Dance" jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals once set a record for the most expensive basketball collectible at $1009.1 million!
…………

"The McGrady Moment" is one of the most famous and legendary moments in NBA history!
Extremely valuable historical value!
Includes matching competition photos, official certification, and usage records; scarcity will significantly drive up the price.

At a Puff Daddy charity gala in 2015, this jersey was auctioned off to an Asian collector for $410 million, which, at the exchange rate at the time, was equivalent to 2553.64 million RMB!

Holy crap! This price!

If Mao Xiaotong comes to me again and spouts nonsense, then I'm sorry!
Tiger Shadow doesn't accept saintly figures!!
........................

Wednesday, Yunze Film and Television Base, Three Kingdoms City, Wu King's Palace.

Mao Xiaotong never mentioned the matter again, thus avoiding a tragedy like the execution of Ma Su with tears in his eyes...

Lin Xingzhuo also began the difficult filming of dialogue scenes.

That's roughly the plot.

Dou Yifang's maternal aunt, Shen Bijun, entered the palace as a female physician. During the pregnancy of Zhou Ziran, the former queen of the Dai Kingdom, Shen Bijun's improper delivery resulted in her death in childbirth.

Zhou Yafu wanted to kill Shen Bijun to avenge himself.

……

"Scene Two! First Shot, Twenty-Third Take! Action!!"

Zhou Yafu angrily retorted, "Why is Your Majesty protecting this person? Did you orchestrate everything before?!"

Dou Yifang coldly said, "Think what you want. Xueyuan will escort Madam Shen back to Jiaofang Palace! Anyone who dares to touch her will be charged with disobedience!"

Zhou Yafu looked at Dou Yifang and said sternly, "Does Your Majesty think this is how you can protect her?"

Dou Yifang looked directly into Zhou Yafu's eyes and said, "General Zhou, please go and tell the Emperor and the Empress Dowager... that not only will I be buried alive with them, but everyone in Jiaofang Palace will be buried with them."

Xueyuan happened to be a maid in the Jiaofang Palace.

Zhou Yafu was immediately intimidated by General Dou Yifang and could only utter harsh words:
"You'd better keep an eye on her for the rest of your life! Don't let her out of your sight!"

"Otherwise, I'll make sure she dies a horrible death!!"

...Producer Yu Zhen and director Wu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Lin Xinru and Lin Xingzhuo's scene together through the viewfinder.

Outrageous!

Lin Xingzhuo was completely overwhelmed by Ruby Lin's explosive acting skills!

We had to do 23 takes in total!!

It's finally over...

Actors Chen Jianfeng, Luo Jin, Feng Shaofeng, Yang Mi, Hu Xin'er, Su Qin, and others who were watching from the waiting area managed to calm themselves down a bit.

Lin Xingzhuo's path of physical weakness and mechanical ascension through evil cultivation has a very clear ceiling; its upper limit is already locked!
Unless dialogue can be digitally synthesized in post-production in the future, and actors only need to recite numbers...

Otherwise, Lin Xingzhuo's terrible acting skills, even with good physical attributes, would only place him at the level of a strong second-tier artist.

…………

After finishing filming, Lin Xingzhuo set up a Swiss classic three-fold recliner in the rest area.

Mao Xiaotong, the sidekick, and Zhang Youqian, the temporary assistant, are probably both from the "sweet girl" category, and the two have been secretly competing with each other!
Zhang Youqian handed over a cup of milk tea and said, "President Lin, this is the newly opened Yipin Milk Tea shop in Huangting Square, Chong'an Temple Street."

"This shop's classic bubble tea is very famous; there's always a queue of one or two hours every day!"

Lin Xingzhuo took a sip, and it did taste quite good.

I ordered takeout from this restaurant once during a research trip to the Yangtze River Delta region in a past life, and I still miss it...

Next, Zhang Youqian took out an aluminum alloy storage box with a built-in moisturizing pad, poured out high-quality Yunnan flue-cured tobacco shreds, and then tied the tobacco shreds tightly with cigarette paper.

Click!

Faced with inconsistent tightness in hand-rolled cigarettes, Zhang Youqian uses smoldering control, first lighting the outer ring of tobacco to trim and even out the burning.

"Mr. Lin, this is some flue-cured tobacco that my friend sent from Nanzhong Province. Please try some..."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Lin Xingzhuo put down the half-finished milk tea in his hand, took the hand-rolled cigarette, and found it to be mellow and with a long aftertaste.

Phew... It's been so long since I've smoked a hand-rolled cigarette...

Lin Xingzhuo thought Zhang Youqian's smooth combo was over, but unexpectedly, she took out an NDS cartridge box.

Zhang Youqian said, "President Lin, you mentioned last time that you wanted to try this game."

Lin Xingzhuo, with a hand-rolled cigarette dangling from his lips, stared at the NDS cartridge box that Zhang Youqian had taken out.

"The Lovely Landlady and the Pretty Tenant"!

A classic work in the genre of harem anime.

I watched a classmate play it during the summer after my junior year of high school, but I never got to the end...

As Lin Xingzhuo put the cassette tape away, Zhang Youqian opened her phone, looked through her notes, and then said:

"President Lin, I heard from Senior Sister Xu that the negotiations went very smoothly."

"Through the Chamber of Commerce's organization, all the excavation equipment belonging to the Ouyue coal mine owners in Jinyang were collectively negotiated and bundled together by the Chamber of Commerce!"

"I heard the price is even more than the secondhand market price."

Lin Xingzhuo nodded: "Right now, the entire used coal mining equipment market is one of high prices but no buyers; it's definitely a buyer's market!"

…………

This is a battle between sweet girls from the North and South!!

Zhang Youqian's smooth combos allowed her to climb the ranks like crazy, making Mao Xiaotong completely invisible.

Facing strong competitors in the same sweet girl category!
Mao Xiaotong bit her lip.

Make a decision!!!
