Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 74: Core Team! Basic Base! Royal Guards!!
Lin Xingzhuo lit an old red lion cigarette.

If it weren't for the work experience in the previous life, combined with the gossip obtained from smoking and chatting with the head chef of the catering department, action director Sun Wusong and others.

Lin Xingzhuo might have been fooled just like Zhu Yilong...

…………

Where there are people, there will be the underworld, and where there is the underworld, there will be factions.

The film and television dramas in the entertainment industry are all centered, whether they are director-centered, producer-centered, star-centered, or supervisor-centered.

These bigwigs who control the direction of the entire movie or TV series have a core team that can implement their creative will, serving as their base and royal guards in the crew.

…………

For action film crews, the core of Chen Long's crew is the Chen family; the core of Hong Jingbao's crew is the Hong family.
Xu Ke's royal guard in the Hong Kong circle is Shi Nansheng's production team, who coordinate the director's creativity and budget control. They are known as the "Iron Lady Army of Hong Kong Films."

The core members of the national team of Northwest Circle are photography director Zhao Xiaoding, art director Huo Tingxiao and Lin Mu, who have been working together for more than 20 years.

Even when there is no work, the national master still spends a lot of money to support this team, and through long-term cooperation, the unique "national master aesthetics" of Huayu Film has been formed.

When Director Chen was in the Northwest Circle, his core team was the "strongest golden group in the history of the Northwest Circle" composed of photographer Gu Changwei, screenwriter Lu Wei, and producer Xu Feng.

This super group has produced works such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Feng Yue", and "The King of Children".

Among them, the film and television status of "Farewell My Concubine" is praised as "the artistic pinnacle of Chinese-language films" and "the oriental treasure of the world film scene."

…………

After achieving success, Director Chen was full of energy and returned to the Beijing circle with a luxurious life.

At the suggestion of his wife Chen Hong, he established the 21st Century Shengkai Film and Television Culture Exchange Co., Ltd.

For a period of time, Chen Hong, who served as the company's executive director, posted on his blog many times.

There are statements such as "strengthening the company's assessment system", "eliminating the parasites that suck blood from the husband's reputation", and "Twenty-first Century Shengkai will not support idlers".

In just one or two years, the core team left one after another, and Director Chen officially switched to the "husband-and-wife shop" model that is most common in the film and television industry.

Later films include "The Promise", "The Orphan of Zhao", and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

If the entertainment industry is the epitome of the last feudal society in China in the 21st century.

Director Chen's bold move is comparable to that of Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang during his reign.

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

Su Zhaolin is a new director, but not a complete newcomer.

Before he became the director of "Sword Rain", he was the screenwriter of "The Love of the Operator", "Three Watches: Going Home", "Double Vision", and also filmed the movie "The Weird Silk".

Such a director never showed his main force in "Sword Rain".

Especially the action director Dong Wei, who took over the action team, wire team, action coordinator, and action photographer.

Producer Wu Yusen, through photographer Takimoto Kan'ya and art director Tian Huimeihe, began to control the photography team, lighting team, equipment team, art team, and makeup team.

This seems quite strange...

…………

It wasn't until he got in touch with the head chef of the catering department because of the special meals and the incident of Dong Wei's broken palm that he got to know Sun Wusong.

Director Su's team slowly surfaced...

The basic team of this new director in Taibei circle is the finance department, procurement team, production team and suppliers.

The purchasing manager, stage coordinator, and logistics supervisor of the "Sword Rain" crew are all from the Taibei circle.

The key figure, the production director, is a Canadian female student who has a spade tattoo on her ankle and a double heart tattoo on her lower back.

She is still charming in her thirties and likes to wear a white sports vest in the Korean comic style, paired with thick black yoga pants.
Fatty Hong, the retired squad leader of the kitchen team who works as the head chef of the catering department, was squatting at the back door of the kitchen with Lin Xingzhuo, smoking Liqun Sunshine.

Fatty Hong said that action director Dong Wei specifically requested a special meal of beef stew.

The blood and fishy smell of beef offal need to be cleaned in advance, so he started cleaning the beef heart, beef tripe and other internal organs at two or three o'clock in the morning, and pressed them until soft in a pressure cooker.

After finishing work, it’s time to go back and catch up on some sleep.

I just happened to see the female production manager, looking haggard, leaving Director Su's room.

…………

Things happening in the entertainment industry may seem like an epic battle between good and evil, but in reality it is often a clown farce where the black pig laughs at the crow.

Where does so much idealism come from?

To put it bluntly, it’s just your internal fighting!!!
…………

Moreover, when Su Zhaolin was in charge of logistics, the PUA incident involving Zhu Yilong being demoted and replaced in a new room occurred. If he were truly a pure idealist, he would never adopt an appeasement strategy and sacrifice new actors in exchange for temporary stability.

In fact, even Su Zhaolin’s core team was in a mess and didn’t dare to fall out.

What about the procurement team's multiple-handed water dispensers and the stage management team's false reporting of location shooting expenses...

The lunch boxes for extras provided by the supplier include stir-fried cabbage with bean sprouts on the 1st, 3rd and 5th days and stewed cabbage on the 2nd, 4th and 6th days. The standard purchased lunch boxes are 10 yuan each, but the actual cost is only 3.2 yuan.

They say every penny is spent wisely, but in reality, they don’t skimp on anything!!
…………

In his previous life, Lin Xingzhuo was seconded to the "Protecting Young Trees Special Action Team" of the News and Publications Department and the Film and Television Department for half a year.

At that time, he reviewed the "Exclusive Report" of Taibei Magazine which was introduced through illegal channels.

This magazine was very successful in its early days. Its founder, Shen Ye, had close ties to the Bamboo Union. Its first issue featured the prison confession of Dong Guisen, the killer in the "Jiangnan Case," and successfully opened up the market...

The 117th issue of "Exclusive Report" revealed the scandal of Su Zhaolin and his team making huge profits in "West of Yumen".

Combined with his various behaviors on the set...

He is a typical man who looks fierce but is timid, greedy and money-seeking, and is not worth consulting with!
........................

On the evening of the third day, the crew of the "Sword Rain" project held a coordination briefing meeting.

Zhu Yilong was not asked to attend the meeting.

So, Lin Xingzhuo took Zhu Yilong and Zhang Youqian to the VIP building for a meal, and then took a taxi to Feiyue Internet Cafe on Jiangnan Road in Hengdian.

Lonely boys play dota, lonely girls wear stockings!

Lin Xingzhuo has been fond of playing DOTA recently, and always forces Zhu Yilong and Zhang Youqian to play along.

At this time, Dota was at its best, the era of VS and Hao Fang...

Familiar names like Niu Wa, A Chuan, Xiao Man, Qing Shu, 09, Xiao Guai, Man Man, Leng Leng, etc. are all active at the forefront of e-sports...

Lin Xingzhuo just chose Shadow Fiend.

One of the opponents chose Bicycle Warrior and started to taunt: "Brother, you still picked Shadow Fiend? Shadow Fiend is no longer suitable for this version!"

Lin Xingzhuo was too lazy to talk nonsense. He observed the health of the soldiers. When the enemy hero approached the low-health soldiers, he blindly released the X-cannon to cover the last-hit lane and continuously reduced the opponent's health.

Finally, he seized the opportunity and used a classic three-hit combo to take down the opponent...

Bicycle Warrior: ???
…………

The game reached a critical moment and was about to start a team fight. Lin Xingzhuo asked about the preparations for using Tidehunter's ultimate move.

Lin Xingzhuo: "Yilong, is it big?"

Zhu Yilong: "Brother Zhuo, yes! If you don't believe me, just look!"

Bang!
When the tide is released, it slams into the ground, and its tentacles spread out in all directions, causing a large-scale control.

Lin Xingzhuo: "No, I just asked if you have it!"

Zhu Yilong: "It's okay, I'm still refreshing, if you don't believe me, just look."

Bang! !

Lin Xingzhuo: “…”

Bang!
Tide's another big move...

…………

Lin Xingzhuo and Zhu Yilong lost six consecutive games in Haofang...

Zhu Yilong couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Brother Zhuo, I have a play tomorrow morning. I really can't stay up late. I want to go back to sleep."

Lin Xingzhuo opened a can of Red Bull to prolong his life and said, "I'll go to sleep if I win!"

Zhu Yillong had a sad face. Based on his and Lin Xingzhuo's recent experience of playing DOTA, when he said this, he could ask Zhang Youqian to buy some midnight snacks.

At this time, assistant Zhang Youqian said, "Boss Lin, let Yilong go back. I'll play duo with you."

Lin Xingzhuo took a sip of Red Bull and asked, "You? What hero do you use?"

Zhang Youqian said, "Geomancy Master!"

Damn! You dare use a geomancer?!
This sweet lawyer is actually a super expert!

Lin Xingzhuo drank a whole can of Red Bull and regrouped.

This time I am stable...
