Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 87 Lin Xingzhuo, Exiled

Director Wu Jingyuan whispered to Yu Zhen:
"Teacher Yu, I've also heard about this script for 'Dwelling Narrowness.' It was already difficult to get it approved, but now I hear from a friend that it not only passed the review but also broke the record for the fastest approval of a realistic drama."

Yu Zhen nodded and said, "The producer in charge of review and coordination, Zhu Jinghong, is the director of Jundun Shengye Film and Television Culture Company. She has some connections in the review department."

Director Wu Jingyuan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."

While the two were talking quietly, art director Li Xianchang asked, "Xiao Lin, what are your special skills?"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "As for special skills... CF, DOTA, singing... I'm pretty good at professional-level collecting, investment and speculation, film and television review... I've also been learning post-production knowledge recently, and I'm also working on my core muscles..."

Yu Zhen got really into it by the end, and he stopped chatting with Wu Jingyuan.

What? Core muscle groups?
Gay Radar launched!

Scanning Lin Xingzhuo's abdomen, I was a little disappointed to find that there were no signs of exercise.

Just blow it.

Young people these days really dare to talk nonsense.

Yu Zhen realized that Lin Xingzhuo knew a lot of things, but she didn't touch anything related to acting.

And then there's post-production, film and television censorship... that's pure nonsense...

Yu Zhen recalled the cutting-edge Hollywood special effects technology mentioned in the magazine "Film World," and deliberately asked, "You understand post-production? Then compare the latest motion capture and motion tracking technologies..."

Lin Xingzhuo laughed upon hearing this and began to answer at length.

Yu Zhen, Wu Jingyuan, and Li Xianchang: "..."

"In 1915, animator Max Fleischer invented the image tracing technique, which became the prototype of motion capture technology. 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' used this technique to achieve natural and smooth character movements..."

"Forty-four years later, Lee Harrison III proposed the idea of ​​viewing the human body as a series of joints and developed the first system for real-time recording of human motion, becoming a pioneer in motion capture technology."

"Layered technical architecture...unmarked virtual motion points and optical fusion solutions achieve sub-millimeter accuracy in complex scenes, reducing hardware dependence..."

"With the iteration of the three major technological routes—mechanical, optical, and inertial sensors—I believe that a technological tipping point and industrial transformation are imminent..."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, watching Lin Xingzhuo's endless boasting and arrogance, Yu Zhen could no longer bear it and asked:

"Stop! Kobayashi, have you ever worked in post-production special effects?"

Lin Xingzhuo truthfully replied, "I have my own special effects production team."

It's perfectly reasonable to pay more attention to your own businesses.

Director Wu Jingyuan, art director Li Xianchang, and costume designer Zhong Jiani were all astonished upon hearing this.

I've heard of some bringing their own makeup teams, others bringing their own costume and prop teams, and some of the bigger stars even bringing their own chef teams.

But this is the first time I've heard of something with built-in special effects...

Where on earth did this super-rich second-generation come from?!

…………

Yu Zhen was initially taken aback by Lin Xingzhuo, but he quickly recovered and remembered the level of special effects in China.

Damn! It's just a scam to get subsidies! They're making it sound so real!
Damn it! This coal-related artist was showing off the whole time during the audition, I just couldn't stand it!!

Yu Zhen continued, "You just said you're good at film and television review? Did you take the civil service exam?"

Lin Xingzhu shook his head and said, "No, but I understand..."

Producer and screenwriter Yu Zhen and director Wu Jingyuan exchanged a smile.

Okay! I didn't take the civil service exam!

You even understand TDM?!
Just you wait, kid!
…………

Anyone who has worked with the censorship department in the film and television industry knows this.

The State Administration's review system is redundant, complex, profound, and intricate.

The key to victory lies in a single system, a disruptive force that delivers a devastating blow!
Vertically, there are nine core departments at the national level, including the Television Drama Department, Film Department, and Media Convergence Development Division, which coordinate the national review process. At the provincial level, there are thirty-one provincial radio and television bureaus responsible for the initial review and filing of content within their respective jurisdictions.

There are 293 municipal-level radio and television departments responsible for specific review tasks.
In addition, seven other industry associations, including the China Radio and Television Association and the China Film and Television Society, participated in the standard setting and supervision.

The scope of horizontal collaboration is an intricate and comprehensive network, with six ministries involved in cross-departmental joint supervision.

Unless you've been working within this system for decades, you simply can't figure out how intricate and complex things are.

…………

Yu Zhen said with a sneer, "I recently met a close friend who works in the same industry."

"Kobayashi, since you know all that, I'd like to ask you a question that's unrelated to the role interview..."

Lin Xingzhuo said, "It's okay, if you want to learn, I can teach you..."

Yu Zhen laughed in exasperation: "You want to teach me? Fine, fine!"

Yu Zhen suddenly unleashed her full power, pouring out all her knowledge of the review process and the inside information she had learned from her best friend, determined to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!

Lin Xingzhuo was initially on high alert, but upon hearing the question raised by the other party...

There's a feeling of punching the Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking the Beihai Kindergarten.

That's so amateurish and weak.

It's a bit boring.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo's normal interview time was several times longer than that of other roles.

Yu Zhen racked his brains and asked director Wu Jingyuan for help, asking more than a dozen review questions in a row.

Lin Xingzhuo answered fluently and without any flaws.

Each question and answer was like a slap in the face to Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen almost fainted, so he simply stopped asking and ignored Lin Xingzhuo.

An awkward silence fell over the interview.

…………

Soon, this brat noticed the empty seat for the co-producer on the side and immediately understood!
He discovered Lin Xingzhuo's biggest weakness!

The co-producer from Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance Culture Media Co., Ltd. has not come to the film set!
If a representative from the coal industry were to come, it would likely be seen as a sign of strong support and attention.

Now that the people with connections have arrived, the co-producers from the investors haven't shown up. What's going on here...?

It's obvious!
Lin Xingzhuo's influence within this coal-based film and television company was negligible; he was likely a discarded pawn who lost in the internal power struggle and was given a role as compensation to get rid of him.

…………

Such factional struggles within film and television companies and talent agencies, resulting in their artists suffering as a result, are very common in the entertainment industry.

After all, wherever there are people, there is a social dynamic, especially in the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune.

In Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers and TVB are well-known examples; in Beijing, there's the power struggle between Song Ge, chairman of Beijing Capital Culture, and Lou Xiaoxi of Century Partners, a company under his company; and in the battle between the "widow faction" and the "professional manager faction" at Pegasus Media.

Even among small and medium-sized independent film and television companies, there are situations like Zhouyi Film and Television where the action choreographers and screenwriters are at odds...

…………

The principles of doing things after the earthquake.

Just because you've been caught in the rain doesn't mean you have to tear other people's umbrellas to shreds and kick them into the ditch!

After Yu Zhen discovered the true nature of Lin Xingzhuo's "exile,"...

They immediately started making a fuss...
