Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 46 God's Hand

Shanghai, North Suzhou Road, Riverside Building.

This historic apartment building showcases the blend of old and new in Shanghai, and is a popular filming location for the TV series "Dwelling Narrowness".
In the actor's lounge, "Super Cool King" Lin Xingzhuo is preparing for the filming of the final scene.

…………

This scene is about Su Chun who was prosecuted by his unit for "leaking state secrets" for taking private work, causing a loss of 2600 million yuan to the company, and faced imprisonment.

Song Siming used his power to intervene in the matter. As the secretary general of the municipal party committee, his identity and power led the outside world to mistakenly believe that he represented the mayor's position.

Although he did not directly acknowledge the relationship between Su Chun and the mayor, he used covert operations to make the unit mistakenly believe that Su Chun was a relative of the mayor.

This led to Su Chun, who had worked diligently, day and night, and had not been promoted for seven years, being promoted to section chief.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo is reading the episode scripts written by screenwriter Qiqi.

He has been trying to experience the pie approach recently, but it has always been difficult to get into this role.

It wasn't until I saw the episode script for this episode that I finally succeeded.

Section Chief!!
The deputy director position that he had been pursuing in his previous life but could not obtain.

Now he's directly the section chief! And it's his full-time job!
Although it was a filming.

But it still made Lin Xingzhuo have a strong desire to play the role...

…………

Screenwriter Qiqi, this script is well written.

Su Chun, a criminal who leaked state secrets and caused 2800 million in economic losses, was suddenly promoted to become the head of the State-owned Assets Section of the Finance Department of this large state-owned enterprise!
The State-owned Assets Section is responsible for state-owned assets management, project approval, fixed asset purchases, major equipment procurement, and progress payment of special funds.

…………

Okay, okay, great!
Lin Xingzhuo took a ballpoint pen and wrote a brief biography of the character in the notebook.

By writing about the character's frustrated work experience, psychological motivations within the system, and behavioral logic, combined with past life experiences similar to Su Chun's, a true emotional connection is established...

Lin Xingzhuo is slowly transforming the psychology of Su Chun's character into his own feelings.

…………

Li Xian took two cups of milk tea from 50 Lan Milk Tea Shop and walked along the staff passage to Lin Xingzhuo's actor's lounge.

"Xingzhuo, this is the boba milk tea I brought for you."

Li Xian put the milk tea on the coffee table. She looked curiously at the mathematical formula that Lin Xingzhuo was writing on the paper.

Q=[S+C]÷Z
Li Xian asked, "Xingzhuo, what is this? Are you preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam?"

Lin Xingzhuo said excitedly: "I am studying the power of Su Chun's position as section chief."

Li Xian found it a little funny: "Isn't your role just a section chief?"

Lin Xingzhuo explained: "Have you seen 'My Lord's Rise and Fall'? Section chief and section chief are not the same thing. There is an issue of the power and authority of the position."

Li Xian looked at Lin Xingzhuo with great interest. He had never expected that his fan was actually a fan of an official. He asked, "What kind of power does the position carry?"

Lin Xingzhuo nodded and said with great insight, "Any job level has a certain weight, which is calculated according to the job level weight formula."

"Look, the weighted formula is this: Q = [S + C] ÷ Z."

"Q's direct power is equal to S's actual power, plus C's financial power, divided by Z's rank."

"For example, the head of the State-owned Assets Section of the Finance Department of the large state-owned shipbuilding enterprise where Su Chun works."

"We have a staff of over a dozen, and every year we approve projects for fixed asset purchases, spend hundreds of millions on major equipment purchases, and every quarter we allocate tens of millions in special fund progress payments, plus the necessary coefficients..."

"This power even exceeds that of the heads of some county and city-level departments."

Lin Xingzhuo recalled his past life of working on the edge of an office, working like a slave and feeling frustrated, and sighed:

"Within the system, you have to study power. You can't do without it. Before taking on any new position, you must first understand the power inherent in the new position..."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't even know you were being cheated, and you'd still be shouting 'Long live the Lord!' and 'Thank you for the Lord's grace!"

Li Xian looked at the official tone in the man's words...

The tone and expression are exactly like a younger version of Song Siming.

I kind of like it...

No, no... I can't eat vermicelli... No...

Don’t let your imagination run wild!

But, that’s great, my crazy fan has finally got the hang of it.

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

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the third scene, second shot, first take, officially began shooting.

The plot is that Haiping and Su Chun entertain Song Siming at home to thank him for helping Su Chun escape from prison.

On the table were wine-sweetened vanilla bean curd, pickled duck, braised pork, dry-fried pomfret, fried river shrimp and pickled pork with preserved vegetables.

Lin Xingzhuo paid for the food to be packed and re-plated by having lifestyle producer Chen Guang go to Lanxin Restaurant, one of the four golden flowers of Shanghai cuisine on Jinxian Road.

Faced with the delicious local dishes, Lin Xingzhuo, Zhang Jiayi, Haiqing, and Li Zhen in this scene really ate the whole time, and the effect seen through the viewfinder was excellent...

Song Siming put down his chopsticks and said, "Su Chun, help me get a piece of paper."

Su Chun was fiddling with the fish bones in the belly of the pomfret in the bowl. When he heard Song Siming's words, he quickly put down his chopsticks, took out a napkin, and handed it to Song Siming with both hands.

Seeing that Song Siming had only eaten half a bowl of rice, Haiping quickly asked softly, "Is it not to your taste?"

Song Siming said: "It's pretty good, really, very good."

Haizao looked at Song Siming with a loving gaze and said, "It's okay, he always eats less."

Song Siming asked, "Su Chun, how is things going at work lately?"

Su Chun said, "It's okay, but the work in the new department is quite busy."

…………

Lin Xingzhuo used his past life's habit of rubbing his hands and hunching his shoulders while sitting in the office, as well as his behavior of lowering his head, pursing his lips, looking away, and panicking when facing his boss...

The image of Su Chun's character in this family dinner was immediately established.

If we only talk about this scene, Lin Xingzhuo's acting skills in his true self even surpassed the performance of Hao Ping, who originally played Su Chun in "Home Sweet Home".

…………

It's just one scene, and the sudden explosion and superb performance of a single supporting actor can easily make the entire plot unbalanced, appearing too thin and abrupt.

It is difficult to support the famous scenes in movies and TV shows.

In this situation, you need a matching opponent to play with and complement each other...

Zhang Jiayi is a steady and cautious person who follows his own pace, and he is not the type of person who would show off his acting skills.

Li Xian faced Lin Xingzhuo's sudden outburst, struggling to hold on, showing a little timidity, and lacking dramatic tension.

…………

At this time, Hai Qing stood up...

Hai Qing's performance is delicate, passionate, and he is very good at using the power of emotions. His infectiousness is incredible!

In other industries, this trait can easily lead to career risks due to unstable state, but for actors, it is actually an advantage.

…………

The most important thing is that Haiqing is an actor who is easily affected by emotions.

When Lin Xingzhuo became more active, Haiqing was not intimidated like Li Zhen, nor did he follow the routine like Zhang Jiayi.

On the contrary, he becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent and explodes in battle.

This sister has a crazy persistence.

To put it nicely, this kind of persistence is the actor's sense of belief, but to put it bluntly, it is a stubbornness that will not give up until the goal is achieved.

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

While serving Haizao with pickled pork and preserved vegetables, Haiping said unhappily:
"I was promoted to section chief, but every night I was either forced to wash my feet or drink. I was almost becoming a typical corrupt official."

Song Siming smiled, looked at Su Chun who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and asked, "Su Chun, do you have something to say? It's okay, just say it out loud."

Su Chun said, "Secretary Song, thank you for your kindness, but I want to quit my job and open an online bookstore first."

Haizao immediately lost her temper and started delivering her killer line!!
Even when emotions explode, the dramatic effect of clear pronunciation and no broken voice can be maintained!
"What the hell is wrong with you?! What's wrong with you?!"

"What are you eating?! You still have the nerve to eat! What kind of messed up online store are you running? Are you trying to piss me off to death?!"

"Why don't you do your job properly? What do you want to do?!"

Haizao whispered, "Sister, finish your meal first..."

Haiping continued to control the rhythm of the lines: "Let's talk about it after dinner? Will there be any food to eat later?!"

"You're so self-willed. Su Chun, you didn't tell me anything at all. Did you plan this all along? Tell me!!!"

As Hai Qing and Lin Xingzhuo competed with each other, the unbalanced camera language was instantly increased in intensity and balanced again.

…………

This thing is a work of God.

It is not necessarily played by the top chess players.

As the saying goes, writing is a natural creation, and it is the result of a master's hand.

Lin Xingzhuo, whose acting skills are terrible, suddenly had a big outburst, and Hai Qing was in excellent condition, which brought the scene to a plot level that did not belong to this episode's script.

…………

The cameraman worked hard to control the Panasonic DVCPRO HD broadcast-grade tape recorder, and controlled his breathing to keep his hands steady and not shake when moving the camera.

The lighting staff, executive director, screenwriter and other staff members all held their breath.

The entire crew was witnessing the birth of a miracle...
