Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 80 Reputation Bonus
Half an hour later, Lin Xingzhuo and Wu Yusen looked at the initial draft of the contract prepared by the production team's legal department and confirmed the general framework of the contract.

"Reign of Assassins Film Crew and Xsens Dynamic Tracking Technology Service Cooperation Agreement"

The specific contract terms and details will be finalized this week by the production team's legal department and Xu Zhixia, legal counsel for Tiger Shadow Star.

…………

After Lin Xingzhuo left the director's office, Wu Yusen also asked Niu Chunlong to give him a box of Padron Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro cigars as a gift.

This cigar is a limited edition released to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Padron.

The tobacco leaves are grown in Nicaragua, and the wrappers, binders, and fillers are all handmade locally. The tobacco leaves are aged for at least 10 years, and some raw materials are even aged for 15 years.

Upon its release, it became the number one cigar in the annual cigar collection list of Cigar Aficionado magazine.

It is only distributed through special channels such as high-end dinners, charity events, and commemorative events, and is not available for retail. Each box contains 10 pieces and is signed by the brand, and the complete packaging box is extremely rare.

This box was a gift from MGM boss Kirk when he visited the set of "Windtalkers" during the filming of John Woo's movie.

…………

After Lin Xingzhuo left the office, the external production manager brought over an envelope labeled "printed matter" via EMS express mail.

"Director Wu, Sister Long, this is an express package that just arrived."

"Thank you, Xiao Gao, I'm so grateful for your help..."

Niu Chunlong took the package, opened it with scissors, and inside was the latest issue of "Xuanji" sent from Hong Kong. She said:

"In Mak Ling Ling's column 'Secret Methods for Changing Luck in the Twelve Zodiac Signs,' the content of the last issue was really accurate. Placing a green crystal on the desk immediately resolved the problem with that troublesome gang leader of the Heavenly Alliance."

Wu Yusen said helplessly, "I told you long ago, stop with this feudal superstition! Mak Ling Ling is just a charlatan who scams people out of money!"

"Among the feng shui masters in Hong Kong, only the White Dragon King has real skills!!"

"This time when I went to Taibei to meet that investor from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, I was to wear two pieces of black jade, just as the White Dragon King had predicted."

"One piece represents expansion and wealth, while the other represents preservation and protection against evil. Only by combining offense and defense and dispelling negative energy can negotiations proceed smoothly!"

External Production Manager: "..."

Niu Chunlong muttered a couple of words, flipping through the "Mystery" magazine. Upon seeing the content on page A1, he froze for a few seconds, then shouted:
"Old Wu, look! This Lin Xingzhuo is no ordinary person!!"

As Wu Yusen took the magazine, he complained:
"Of course I know Lin Xingzhuo is no simple man. The coal-based capital behind him is doing business with the big boss of Huanya Group. How could he be simple?"

"Let me see what strange and outlandish theories Mak Ling Ling has come up with this time?"

Wu Yusen saw the contents of page A1 of the magazine "Xuanji".

It's a low-resolution, blurry photo from a nightclub, and the face vaguely resembles Lin Xingzhuo.

Then look at the exaggerated headline that takes up half the page...

"Singer? God of Slaughter? The White Dragon King's Heavenly Secrets Revealed: Martial Melody in the Palace of Destiny, Seven Kills Unrivaled, Thunder and Fire of the Nine Heavens, Shaking Hong Kong with Might!!"

Wu Yusen was silent for a moment, then said, "Ah Long, bring me my original Cohiba Century series set..."

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

In the evening, Lin Xingzhuo was a little bewildered when she saw the whole box of cigar tools that the location liaison, Xiao Gao, had brought over.

Cohiba... or the original Century series...

Wu Yusen has really gone all out.

Is my acting really that good?
He became a top director in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, a man who longed for but could not have?

Lin Xingzhuo was starting to waver.

Or perhaps for the sake of the Padron Family No. 45 Maduro cigar and the Cohiba Century series tool set...

To film a supporting role?
…………

When Lin Xingzhu was reviewing the movie "Claw Machine" in his previous life, he learned about the Cohiba brand. Later, Bilibili introduced the documentary "Cigar: The Soul of Cuba".

During the review process, Lin Xingzhuo consulted materials and learned about this famous Cohiba Century Series original tool set. It was a replica of the cigar accessories used by captains during the Age of Exploration, themed around the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage.

Such as antler-handled cigar cutters, mahogany cigar mouthpieces, and sterling silver enamel-finished cigar boxes...

The initial offering price was $17,000.

With an average annual increase of about 15%, it is regarded as "an investment product among cigar tools".

…………

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Lin Xingzhuo gave Xiao Gao, the external liaison producer, a pack of Hualiqun cigarettes and inquired about the situation.

Well, I was overthinking it.

It turns out that the fame and prestige that his sister-in-law brought him in Hong Kong...

Wu Yusen gifted himself this Cohiba Century Series original tool set, clearly hoping to benefit from Lin Xingzhuo's good fortune as the reincarnation of Wuqu.

…………

Luoma Lake in Suxian County and Xiaguan Station in Nanzhong.

There are three types of people in the world who believe in metaphysics, and one of them is people working in the entertainment industry.

And within the Chinese entertainment industry, the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles are among the best...

Because those wealthy people who became rich in Hong Kong in the last century, these financial backers in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, truly believed in fate.

They've seen too many people who have absolutely no skills, yet seize an opportunity and soar to great heights.

They themselves are well aware of their own intelligence and ability level, and that the amount of money they earn has absolutely nothing to do with their own abilities.

It's simply because it's in the right place at the right time...

For example, if you saw countless Ding Zhens soaring to great heights, would you also believe in feng shui?

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

The next day, after having breakfast, Lin Xingzhuo prepared to go to Yiwu Railway Station to take the K102 express train in a soft sleeper to the capital.

Zhang Youqian helped carry the heavy suitcase and put the items in the trunk of the Audi A6L arranged by the film crew.

Bruce Lee-signed nunchucks, Padron Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro cigars, Cohiba Century Series original tool set, and Xsens' first order in mainland China...

Lin Xingzhuo's visit to the set of "Reign of Assassins" was definitely worthwhile.

…………

When they parted, Lin Xilei wore a classic black and white outfit that was sure to win over any man. The V-neck design of the white shirt was simple yet subtly stylish, showcasing her fair collarbone and hourglass figure.

Lin Xilei reached out and straightened Lin Xingzhuo's collar, then took out a thin gift box wrapped in polyester webbing and tied with a swallowtail knot.

"Last time we ate in the RV, you kept staring at it, so here you go..."

"No, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't see that..."

Lin Xilei held up a finger to stop Lin Xingzhuo from speaking, saying, "Alright! Don't be shy! Why are you being so polite with me..."

"If you want to, remember to come to Hong Kong!"

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the thin gift box in her hand, her mind wandering and her thoughts racing.

This is……

Original flavor?

Holy crap! This Hong Kong tycoon killer is incredibly audacious!

…………

Lin Xingzhuo hadn't recovered from the shock of Lin Xilei's gift when Da Aisi walked over again...
