Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 40 The Law of Heaven in the Entertainment Industry
At nine o'clock in the evening, lifestyle producer Chen Guang drove a Volkswagen Multivan and parked downstairs of the Hyatt Hotel in Wujiaochang.

Lin Xingzhuo took half an hour to come out of Li Xun's room.

She saw the fidget spinners, spinning throws and catches, and relay games in the pod group, and insisted on asking Lin Xingzhuo to practice with them.

…………

When Lin Xingzhuo got into the car, Cao Dun was already waiting there.

"Xingzhuo, the drama club and the classical music club of the Shencheng Conservatory of Music are having a get-together."

"I'm the special academic advisor for the drama club at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, so they invited me to join them."

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the Life Producer Chen Guang who was driving, and the Executive Director Cao Dun who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Just the three of us?"

Cao Dun explained: "Wen Zhang accompanied Ma Yili to the audition for the Red Mansions drama."

"The conflict between director Hu Mei and investor Ding Shumiao has intensified. They are saying they want to overturn the results of the casting process for the characters in Dream of the Red Chamber and start all over again."

"Now, big-name actresses in Shanghai, Beijing, and Northwest China are all trying their luck..."

After hearing this, Lin Xingzhuo sighed that Wen Zhang was really daring.

Yao Di, who works at Yuezhou Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe and debuted through a talent show in Dream of the Red Chamber, should be in the crew.

Normally, kings do not meet each other.

However, he did the opposite and held a meeting between the two kings, where the dark was hidden under the lamp.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo said, "I'm afraid they'll all return empty-handed this time. After all, the entire Red Mansion crew is Boss Ding's harem for the Ministry of Railways."

"Ma Yili's looks and temperament probably aren't what that person likes..."

Cao Dun was stunned when he heard this and was unable to respond for a while.

However, considering Lin Xingzhuo's wealth and background, it is not surprising that he knows the secrets of this red-top businessman and iron boss.

Lin Xingzhuo asked, "Where's Teacher Zhang?"

Life Producer Chen Guang said, "Teacher Zhang Jiayi has to meet with his lawyer tonight to prepare materials, so he won't be here this time."

"Anyway, there are delicious dishes. I'll leave my contact information so I can deliver the food to the hotel later."

Lin Xingzhuo asked curiously, "Lawyer? What happened to Teacher Zhang?"

Cao Dun said: "People are bombarding me with criticism on Weibo about my divorce from my ex-wife."

"Lao Zhang and his ex-wife worked together on the TV series 'Doctor Pamir'. They got married after dating for half a year. His father-in-law is a famous screenwriter and gave him great support."

Chen Guang said: "The drama 'Doctor Pamir' really kicked off Lao Zhang's career. His resources took off, and the following year he was cast in CCTV's 'National Mission'."

Lin Xingzhuo asked, "Then why are they getting divorced?"

Chen Guang, driving the car, replied, "Lao Zhang fell in love with actress Wang Haiyan on the set of 'National Mission'."

Lin Xingzhuo was stunned when he heard this. No wonder Lao Zhang's acting style has always been that of a middle-aged uncle, a divorced ex-wife, and a young wife in love.

Art comes from life.

Cao Dun took out his phone and fiddled with it, then opened the UC browser. He handed it to Lin Xingzhuo and said, "The entertainment industry is still about crotch matters."

"Look, the news said this is a classic case of a failed marriage between a Phoenix man and a wealthy woman."

Lin Xingzhuo glanced at the news: "Shocking! Rich girl marries Phoenix man and gets slapped in the face?! Zhang Jiayi's marriage is in tatters! Ex-wife makes a tragic accusation!" and returned the phone to Cao Dun.

Cao Dun took the phone and sighed, "This damn thing is causing all this trouble now. In the early days when there were no cell phones and everyone used pagers, there wouldn't be so many people gossiping."

Chen Guang agreed: "This kind of thing is just temporary, and it will pass when it's over."

"Back then, regarding Teacher Tang's incident, his ex-wife committed suicide on New Year's Eve. It caused such a big uproar, but who still remembers it?"

"The following year, he married the crew's fourth wife, who was twelve years his junior, and they had two children."

Cao Dun lit a cigarette. "She seems to be called Sun Tao, and she's also an actress. So silly."

"She studied acting at the Beijing Film Academy and works in the art department of China Film Group Corporation. She made her acting debut in "Chinese Divorce." With such a high starting point, she's definitely a top actress..."

"It's a pity that falling in love has ruined my brain."

"I quit my job as a department manager at China Film Group and went to work as a logistics officer on the sets of 'Little Flower' and 'The Garland under the Mountain', taking care of my husband's daily life." "Oh, what a pity..."

Chen Liang stopped the car and waited for the traffic light to turn red. He said, "In our circle, men and women are all the same."

"The one far away, Liu Xiaoqing, who just got out of prison two years ago."

"Didn't Yi Lingjing, the good wife, good mother, and golden girl image from that island recently, cause a hand-holding scandal last year and send her thousands of miles to the imperial capital?"

Cao Dun smoked a cigarette and said, "Xiao Chen, even though these two have a bad reputation now, things in the entertainment industry are constantly changing. No one should make final decisions..."

"Teacher Tang's incident led to his dismissal from the Bayi Film Studio. Then, he was exposed for endorsing low-quality hair dye and autumn underwear. He was called a national scum, a money-making madman, and a heartless man."

"At that time, the entire entertainment industry was saying that the handsome young man Tang Guowei was ruined this time..."

"now what?"

"Not only has his career rebounded, but a few years ago he even won the Golden Eagle Award for Outstanding Artist and Virtue."

Chen Guang said, "In the entertainment industry, as long as you are thick-skinned enough and never leave the poker table, there will always be a chance for you to be the banker, and then everything will be cleared..."

Cao Dun didn't respond. He threw the cigarette butt out the window and warned Lin Xingzhuo, "Xingzhuo, with your conditions, there are many girls who are attracted to you. You better keep your eyes open."

Lin Xingzhuo, the gourmet Doraemon, nodded in agreement and opened a bottle of "rat shit" Huahuadan to share with the two of them.

…………

Cao Dun and Chen Guang.

Although these two people are a bit outrageous, it is not excessive in the ecological environment of the domestic entertainment circle.

And no matter "the first thing to do when you get ashore is to kill the person you love" or "just don't leave the poker table".

It is definitely unacceptable according to the moral threshold of normal people.

But it is true that there are countless examples in the entertainment industry, countless blood and tears, and the laws of nature that have been proven through deduction...

Such heartfelt words show that they really want to take advantage of Lin Xingzhuo and Huying Xinghui Culture.

........................

The three of them chatted about gossip in the entertainment industry as they drove to the Bund Wanli KTV in Yu Garden.

This is a millennial-established high-end business KTV famous for its magnificent decoration and carefully selected service staff.

Cao Dun, familiar with the route, led Lin Xingzhuo and Chen Guang to the River View Box. The table was already covered with beer, foreign liquor, cocktails, fruit plates, and dry ice...

The minimum consumption starts from 5898 yuan, and a tip of 1800 yuan is required.

However, Life Producer Chen Guang had already prepared the accounts and included the invoices into the government entertainment expenses of the crew.

Besides the drinks, there was also the vice president of the Shencheng Drama Club...

…………

Lin Xingzhuo and Ai Shangzhen mentioned this matter when they were playing CF live.

The vice president of the drama club of Shanghai Conservatory of Music was a popular contestant in the Shanghai division of the 2009 Miss Chinese Universe pageant.

The main character is a person with severe social anxiety, who has never been in a relationship and has never held hands with a boy.

Lin Xingzhuo was secretly amazed. This character setting was one level ahead of other domestic entertainment brands.

…………

The vice president of the drama club was wearing a black suit jacket half-pulled down to his arm, revealing his lace suspenders. His straight long legs in black stockings were crossed and slumped in the sofa.

It was obvious that she and Cao Dun were old acquaintances.

Seeing the three people enter the box, she held a glass of mojito in one hand and a microphone in the other, and sat directly on Cao Dun's lap.

Sure enough, there was no holding hands.

…………

After a few drinks, the vice president of the drama club called to urge him to do something.

After more than ten minutes, today's main course was served.
