Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 90 Lin Xingzhuo's First On-Screen Kiss
"It's the second reason... because I've fallen for someone... and that person's name is Zhou Yafu!!!"

Through the viewfinder, Xue Yuan, dressed in a sky-blue cross-collar ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), suddenly grabbed the collar of Zhou Yafu's silver-white metal armor. Her eyelashes were still wet with tears as she stood on tiptoe.

Xueyuan's warm lips, however, struck the other's cool lips with a desperate force, her trembling fingers gripping the other's leather belt tightly.

Zhou Yafu's pupils dilated in astonishment, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed the words he wanted to say...

I am!

Sticking out its tongue?!

When you're on set, you can't always control your own body!

Tiger Star's top star, the future fifth Heavenly King, has lost his first on-screen kiss.

Um... considering that the other character is one of the three god-tier characters in the face-swapping zone!

It's not a complete loss...

…………

Having reviewed many films in my past life, I didn't find Yang Mi particularly attractive.

However, whenever I work overtime all night and want to relieve some stress, I open a website and watch face-swapping videos.

This incredibly sexy face has consistently ranked in the top 3 on various websites for years; its existence is truly amazing!

After all, performance matters when making videos...

The real test of straight men's aesthetic sense is the face-swapping section!!!

In short, let's trust the second son's judgment!

…………

Yunze City Film and Television Base, Water Margin City, and Racecourse.

The crew of "Beauty's Rival in Palace" filmed the scene where Zhou Yafu and Xue Yuan parted ways at the border of the Dai Kingdom. They spent a whole day filming, and this one shot is the best one ever!
Yang Mi, at the peak of her acting career, is truly daring and fearless! She's willing to throw things around! Her acting is superb!

In the future, her acting in other roles, even her most popular role as Bai Qian, was somewhat lacking.

…………

Producer and screenwriter Yu Zhen and director Wu Jingyuan exchanged glances.

Whether it's Yang Mi's suicidal acting outburst or Lin Xingzhuo's unexpected and genuine reaction, even if they were to film it again, they probably couldn't capture a better scene.

What can we do in the face of such a divine move?
Let's rewrite the script!

Xueyuan was forced to stay as a wife by the Xiongnu leader, and before parting, she took the initiative to confess her love to Zhou Yafu.

Despite her calm and reserved nature, Xue Yuan now finds herself in a perilous situation where life and death are uncertain, and facing her lover whom she is about to part with forever, she chooses to break free from her usual restraint...

The emotional outburst of characters in dire straits expresses their feelings in the most direct way...

This can be considered a way to make the storyline work out.

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

The filming of "Beauty's Rival in Palace" was divided into three groups: A, B, and C.

Directors Wu Jingyuan, Liang Xinquan, and Chen Guohua split into three groups and filmed simultaneously at the Water Margin City Horse Racing Track, the Wu King's Palace in the Three Kingdoms City, and the Chenxiang Pavilion in the Tang City at the Yunze Film and Television Base…

That evening, everyone returned to the Yunze Garden Hotel. Lin Xingzhuo bought a large, creamy Bright Dairy ice cream bar and a bottle of chilled Sprite at the general store across from the hotel.

When I returned to the hotel lobby, the group that filmed Lin Xinru at Wu Wang Palace had just returned.

…………

Inside the hall, Qi Wei, who had just returned from the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," was busy contacting people to organize dinner parties.

Film crews work under high pressure and in a intensive schedule. Meeting up for a meal can relieve the tension and also provide an opportunity to exchange resources and expand one's network.

Moreover, while filming "Beauty's Rival in Palace", Qi Wei also took on the role of Nie Yinniang, the fourth lead in the movie "The Return of the Condor Heroes", which was invested by Wenzhou coal boss Huang Xuanrong.

Agent Ji Ye specially arranged a Buick Excelle for Qi Wei so she could be in a hurry...

The back-and-forth filming schedule made Qi Wei somewhat disliked by the directors and producers on both sets, so she needed to cultivate good relationships within the production teams.

Seeing Lin Xinru return, Qi Wei took the initiative to strike up a conversation, saying, "Xinru, shall we go to Xixin Restaurant together tonight?"

Lin Xinru said, "Xixin Hotel?"

Qi Wei introduced: "This is one of the 50 favorite restaurants of the year in Yunze Cuisine, jointly organized by Fashion BOSS magazine and Yunze New Weekly. It specializes in home-style dishes and lake delicacies, especially the soup snails and Taihu Lake hot pot, which are very popular."

Lin Xinru said, "Wow, that sounds amazing! It looks delicious!"

Just as Qi Wei was about to say that she had asked her agent to book the seats...

Lin Xinru changed the subject, saying, "It's a pity I'm on a diet right now and I also have to do yoga. Later, please take me to try this place, I really want to eat it!"

Qi Wei said, "Okay."

Lin Xingzhuo took a transparent whiskey glass from the front desk and put the Bright Ice Cream brick directly into Sprite. After the ice cream brick melted, it formed a dense milk foam.

While sipping his refreshing Sprite, a drink that blended the lemony aroma of Sprite with the creamy flavor of ice cream, Lin Xingzhuo watched the brief clash between the pioneer of the "black and red" route in mainland China and the Taiwanese hot pot restaurant in the lobby...

After being rejected by Ruby Lin, Qi Wei approached Wang Likun, but was also rejected.

"Sorry, Seventh Brother, I have an appointment with Zhenyu for dinner."

Wang Likun and Qiao Zhenyu's relationship began in 2005 when they co-starred in the TV series "Seven Swordsmen". The two fell in love on set and their relationship lasted for many years.

During 2009, their relationship remained a focus of public attention. The two had a dog named "Fantuan" together and interacted frequently, leading fans to regard them as a "golden couple."

…………

The repeated rejections made Qi Wei a little embarrassed, and she noticed Lin Xingzhuo watching the scene unfold from the sidelines.

Lin Xingzhuo's Zhou Yafu was the fourth male lead in the cast, while Qi Wei was ranked after Luo Jin's Emperor Hui of Han Liu Ying and Dai Chunrong's Empress Lü Zhi, belonging to the middle and later supporting roles, and her ranking was far lower.

However, Lin Xingzhuo offended Yu Zhen during the interview, and the co-producer of Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance never showed up on set. The image of an exile who lost the internal power struggle among coal capitalists is already vividly portrayed...

This made Qi Wei feel that inviting Lin Xingzhuo was a sure thing.

…………

Qi Wei took the initiative to go to the front desk and asked, "Xing Zhuo, would you like to go out for dinner together tonight?"

Lin Xingzhu finished a whole glass of Bright Dairy iced beverage, took out the book "Body Awakening and Limb Liberation: Methodology of Experimental Drama at Lanju Studio" and waved it, saying, "Excuse me, I have to go to the gym for my morning class."

Lin Xingzhuo turned and headed towards the gym on the fifth floor of the Garden Hotel. Yang Mi, who had somehow finished removing her makeup, appeared and called out before Qi Wei could even speak:
"Xingzhuo, wait for me, I'm going to the gym too!"

…………

This is the price of taking the "black-and-red" route; other artists have to be extremely careful when interacting with Qi Wei.

After all, Qi Wei got the meat but got beaten up, so she still came out ahead.

If other celebrities are affected by Qi Wei's controversial negative publicity, it would be a huge loss for them to get away with something they didn't enjoy.

…………

Qi Wei's face was gloomy as she watched Lin Xingzhuo and Yang Mi leave.

Ji Ye, a short-haired female agent wearing a black suit and a red tie, came to Qi Wei's side with two matcha Frappuccinos and handed her one.

Qi Wei took the Starbucks and asked, "Lin Xingzhuo's executive agent, Xiao Ma, chartered several cars to go to Dayang Department Store to buy it, and also brought back genuine Yunze braised pork ribs recommended by Lao Lu."

"Each member of the crew received a matcha Frappuccino and a serving of Yunze braised pork ribs."

Qi Wei wondered if she had misheard: "What? Braised pork ribs?"

Ji Ye sipped his Frappuccino and confirmed, "It really is braised pork ribs."

"By the way, Lin Xingzhuo is actually quite popular recently. During a gathering of the cast and crew of 'Dwelling Narrowness,' he improvised a freestyle at the MUSE nightclub in Shanghai."

"And that famous scene where actress Hai Qing knelt down to him and was hailed as a goddess, it was trending on Sina Weibo for several weeks!"

Qi Wei took a sip of her matcha Frappuccino and said, "Hai Qing, the one who acted in 'Double-Sided Adhesive'?"

Ji Ye nodded and said, "Yes. I really didn't realize that Lin Xingzhuo had such great charm that she could bewitch the famously crazy actor from Beijing Film Academy to this extent."

"By the way, should we really contact the media to expose the dinner party thing from 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'?"
