Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 94: Power Outage for Life! Actors Withdraw!
The meeting room of the "Beauty's Rival in Palace" film crew at Yunze Garden Hotel.

Amid the actors' whispers, Yu Zhen said, "President Lin is quite low-key and hasn't told everyone yet."

"I hereby formally announce that Mr. Lin Xingzhuo, representing Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance Culture Media Co., Ltd., will serve as the co-producer of 'Beauty's Rival in Palace'."

As soon as Yu Zhen said this, everyone's eyes turned to Xue Yuan, who had taken the initiative to passionately kiss Zhou Yafu. That scene of forced kissing was not in the script...

Furthermore, it's very clear in the viewfinder that someone seems to be sticking out their tongue!

They must have known about it beforehand!!

Yang Mi's face flushed red, and she buried her head on the table, murmuring softly, "I really don't know... I didn't..."

Yu Zhen then changed the subject, saying, "President Lin mentioned to me that we need to strengthen overall control over the budget and spend the money on production to carefully refine the works."

"Recently, some celebrities have been renting luxury double rooms for their pet dogs. As a result, actors who are injured during action scenes have no rooms and have to commute three hours a day by bus to the props crew."

…………

When the actress playing Li Miaoren Deng Sha heard Yu Zhen's words, she felt a little nervous.

But she thought of the endorsement contract that her agency had just secured with the Born Free Foundation in the UK.

My heart calmed down a bit more...

This is a top-tier animal welfare association in the UK, with significant influence in Western public opinion.

Top European luxury brands, fashion magazines, and fashion shows are considering sponsorship deals and event invitations.

With the endorsement of this organization's spokesperson, one's fashion status can be elevated several notches, making them extremely competitive...

Moreover, these days, getting endorsements for animal protection, environmental protection, and rainbow-related public welfare can not only boost your status, but also give you an edge when it comes to immigration and green cards.

……

So Deng Sha retorted decisively, "Teacher Yu, who doesn't get injured while filming action scenes? At Yunze Film and Television Base, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged extras are everywhere..."

"Qianqian is different. It has been with me for so many years. I can see it everywhere in my life. It has become an indispensable part of my life."

"Some people may not like this idea. I can only say that everyone is born different. They are different at birth, and the influence of the environment during their growth is even more different. You are willing to be your saint, and that has nothing to do with others."

"Just between us, those who stand on the moral high ground, is your moral education truly up to par? Aside from your absolute emphasis on human rights from a purely human perspective, do you really lack the joys, sorrows, and other basic human emotions that normal people experience?"

Upon hearing the reply, Yu Zhen quickly reassured her. He had known all along that she was a firecracker, easily set off, but he hadn't expected that after being influenced by the British animal protection organization, her fighting ability would increase dramatically!

…………

Yu Zhen doesn't have a good solution for Deng Sha right now.

Two-thirds of her scenes in the B-unit series have already been filmed, but now that the actress has been replaced, the entire series needs to be reshot. The sunk costs are too high, and there's not enough time.

However, if Yu Zhen were to back down and concede to this behavior that clearly undermines the crew's satisfaction, it would severely damage his authority.

At this point, one person needs to play the good cop and the other the bad cop.

Someone needs to step forward and stir up trouble!
…………

While comforting Deng Sha, Yu Zhen gave Lin Xingzhuo a look and said:
“Shasha, we all know you're very kind-hearted, and you're also the mainland ambassador for the Born Free Foundation. However, the production crew has its rules and regulations…”

Deng Sha used the prepared script her agent had prepared, saying, "Of course I know the crew's rules. But don't you know about 'Power Outage for Life'?"

"In the United States, a sparrow once got tangled in a 50-kilovolt high-voltage power line, and its pitiful cries attracted the attention of passersby..."

"They called the police, who reported it to the White House. Within half an hour, the president made a decision to send a special plane to crash into the national main power line in Washington, D.C., causing a nationwide blackout. Rescue workers spent half an hour rescuing the little sparrow!"

"A great nation can stop for any humble little life!"

"The environment in China is still not very pet-friendly. As the mainland ambassador for the Born Free Foundation, I want to emphasize this again!"

"If the filming of a movie is based on the abuse of animals, I'd rather quit!!!"

…………

Lin Xingzhuo never expected that after being reborn, he would hear "Power Outage for Life," one of the four classic novels from the famous 2000s magazine *Yilin*. In the millennium, the North collapsed, and the United States became the sole superpower, at the peak of its national power.

In addition, some domestic media outlets deliberately misled the public...

Many people who read this article for the first time actually believed it without a doubt, and were even moved to tears...

When the article "Power Outage for Life" was published in Yilin magazine, it received rave reviews and was reprinted by major magazines and newspapers, including many official media outlets.

This article was also voted the best article of the year by readers!!

…………

Deng Sha brought out this level of powerful weapon, coupled with the support of the British animal rights organization, and considerations for the filming schedule.

This was a bug that Deng Sha had exploited. Even the usually ruthless Yu Zhen was hesitant to act rashly, so he followed the agreed plan, turned to Lin Xingzhuo, and said:
"The production team has authorized co-producer Lin Xingzhuo to handle this matter."

"President Lin, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Lin Xingzhuo stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and said, "Then I'll announce the production team's decision: as you wish..."

Upon hearing Lin Xingzhuo's words, Deng Sha couldn't help but smile. "It's really good to have a foreign charity organization as a backer!"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Let's quit..."

"I've found a replacement actor. He'll officially start filming tomorrow, and the relevant scenes for Group B will be reshot!"

Deng Sha was stunned, and the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Yu Zhen also looked at Lin Xingzhuo in shock.

Holy crap?!
You're playing me! That's not what we said on the phone! Didn't we agree on a minor punishment as a warning?!

Why was the person replaced?

Lin Xingzhuo glanced at Yu Zhen, his meaning clear: They were evenly matched. Trying to use him as a pawn? And want to play the victim? Go to hell!

Deng Sha was completely bewildered.

I was just replaced like that??
Is this a dream?

Isn't this guy worried about the progress? Aren't he afraid of being cyberbullied?

…………

Animal protection, environmental protection, rainbow.

These are the three major traps set by the West in the battle of public opinion.

Countless heroes and warriors fell here, their swords broken and their bodies turned to dust...

Lin Xingzhuo specifically asked Ding Ye about how to handle this matter.

The answer was simple.

Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly!
No need for formalities! Fire them instantly!

…………

As for the possible public retaliation from the other party's brokerage company.

Ding Ye had already adopted the quarterly report submitted by Lin Xingzhuo as the Director of Public Policy Research.

The navy was established in Jinyang last month!

The goal is to win the 21st-century media war in the Chinese entertainment industry!

In addition, Lin Xingzhuo also compiled a secret manual as the strategic guiding principle for the newly established Jinyang Information Security Protection Center...
