Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 141 is a hundred times, a thousand times more captivating.

Before the meeting started, director Tao Yan went outside to answer a phone call.

Hua Shao took the initiative to start the conversation: "I think that Master Sui went too far this time."

"French cuisine has a history spanning thousands of years, and he, an outsider, is pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks. It has a terrible influence."

“Mr. Paul Bocuse holds a very high position in France, and it would be terrible if this incident caused a diplomatic dispute.”

"And if the French see the program, they'll definitely be furious. We have so many students from our country studying art in Paris, France!"

Li Nian ate a piece of the layered oil cake on the table and said, "It can't be that bad. I have many foreigners buying flowers at my flower shop in Shanghai. They also really like Chinese food!"

Hua Shao said anxiously, "How can that be the same? This is a television program! We must respect the facts!"

Zhang Jiayi couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Stop nitpicking!"

"Even the French culinary king himself acknowledged that Chef Sui's suggestions were indeed good, yet you say they are bad and demand that we respect the facts. What kind of logic is that?"

Hai Qing also chimed in, "Yeah, and besides, does your Zhejiang TV even have an international channel? How did the French manage to see it?"

Lin Xingzhuo put down the NDS game "Dragon Quest IX: Guardians of the Starry Sky" that he had just bought, and added:

"There's no need to discuss this at all. The blind vote from the general public was 77 to 23. Are we going to have to reshoot again?"

Hua Shao said, "Xiao Lin, you don't understand. There's no need to reshoot; this can be edited..."

At that moment, the conference room door opened.

When Tao Yan returned after making the call, she looked at Lin Xingzhuo with a burning and obsequious gaze and said, "I think Teacher Lin is right!! There's absolutely no need to discuss this matter!!"

"Hua Shao, your point of view is a bit too much of a worrying overreaction! We're just a variety show, and Zhejiang TV doesn't have that much international influence!"

"We still come from the masses and go back to the masses. The blind votes of passersby have already said it all."

Director Tao Yan's words set the tone for the meeting.

…………

Hua Shao never expected Tao Yan to betray him.

No, you're talking about essay writing all the time, are you planning to take the civil service exam?
Hua Shao also noticed that Tao Yan's way of addressing Lin Xingzhuo had changed.

According to the ranking of celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Lin Xingzhuo was just the fourth lead in a low-budget TV series, and a high-risk realistic TV series that was in jeopardy and could be taken off the air at any time!

If you're being polite, they'll call me Xingzhuo, damn it! If you're not, they'll just call me Xiaolin.

How did it become Teacher Lin now?
........................

The meeting started strong but ended weakly and in a haphazard manner.

Lin Xingzhuo did not return to her room, but instead planned to go to Soho Bar in the 1912 block to meet up with her executive agent, Xiao Ma.

…………

Since Xiao Ma wasn't needed for the recent variety show recording, we gave him a three- or four-day break.

Xiao Ma went to Tai'an City in central Shandong Province, experienced the allure of Buddhist nunneries, and donated a considerable amount of money to a nearby nunnery.

The messages Xiao Ma sent back on QQ, along with the forwarded reviews of Happy Coastline, were quite an eye-opener for Lin Xingzhuo.

…………

He married a nun first, then went on his pilgrimage to the West; he would neither betray the Buddha nor his beloved.

I'm not afraid of nuns without hair, I'm afraid of nuns wearing stockings.

It turns out our ancestors never took Buddha seriously... The "Chong Er" stone carving near Doumu Palace, with its boundless beauty, speaks of more than just the scenery of Mount Tai!
Lin Xingzhuo and Xiao Ma planned to try out the three knives, drink some Wuqiongjiang baijiu, and chat about their experiences with the nuns of Mount Tai.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo was in the hotel corridor when Li Nian, who was playing with a pure silver fidget spinner with an iris pattern, blocked her way.

Lin Xingzhuo said, "I have something important to do."

Li Nian pointed to the spinning top and said, "I also have important business to attend to. I plan to formally invest in Beast School."

"I've reviewed the latest business plan, but I'm unsure about policy support for starting a luxury brand business, as well as industry promotion strategies for luxury goods..."

Lin Xingzhu lit a Xuanhemen cigarette and said, "Stop!! I only know about policies related to film and television; I really don't know about policies for other industries!"

Li Nian said, "Okay, I was originally thinking of asking you to be a policy advisor for the Beast Party, with the salary of a vice president-level advisor, and stock options and bonuses..."

what?
Stock options and bonuses... Vice President compensation...

Lin Xingzhuo stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave, turned around, and said, "Um... actually, I also know a little about the luxury goods industry..."

…………

In her previous life, Lin Xingzhuo had a period of innocent and foolish early days in the workforce.

During that time, I really enjoyed going to work.

The feeling of being inferior, being bullied, and not being able to earn money is really fascinating.

After being reborn, Lin Xingzhuo discovered that this way of making money without working, simply by talking, was a hundred times, a thousand times more captivating than the feeling he had in his previous life...

Of course, labor is the most glorious thing.

But... this feeling of getting something for nothing is just too amazing!!!
Let's put beauty aside for now.

…………

The luxury goods industry is all about advertising and marketing!
Lin Xingzhuo, having reviewed film lists in his previous life, was naturally very familiar with classic films and television dramas on the advertising industry, such as "Mad Men," "The Cooking in the Men's Dormitory of an Advertising Company," and "The Newsroom."

In addition, I've overheard the newly hired heiresses in the office chatting, and they've probably heard a little about the brand's style and image.

"The Wild Beast's ads always have a cinematic feel to them, and the spokespeople are so high-class!!"

"I dare not let my mother see the price of the flowers, otherwise they will become flowers offered to my grave."

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

Huaiyang City, Yingbin Hotel, single standard room.

Feeling depressed and restless, Hua Shao picked up his Samsung GT-B2100 and called his wife to complain:
"Honey, what's wrong with Tao Yan today? She actually sided with Lin Xingzhuo's group from 'Dwelling Narrowness'..."

Qin Lige, on the other end of the phone, did not comfort Hua Shao. Instead, she coldly retorted, "Are you out of your mind? You haven't even bothered to find out the other person's background before you've offended them!"

Hua Shao was taken aback by his girlfriend's response and said, looking bewildered, "Isn't he just an artist from a small coal mining company?"

Qin Lige said irritably on the phone, "Do you know that the 'Dwelling Narrowness' production team originally invited Hunan TV to appear on 'Happy Camp'?"

Hua Shao asked, puzzled, "I heard Zhu Jinghong, the producer of 'Dwelling Narrowness,' mention it, but so what? Wasn't it replaced by the Korean drama 'Itazura na Kiss'?"

"How can their low-budget, third-rate domestic dramas be compared to the Korean version of 'Itazura na Kiss'?"

Qin Lige angrily said, "The Korean drama 'It Started With a Kiss' failed the review process on 'Happy Camp'!"

Hua Shao was stunned: "What? Variety shows can fail to pass censorship? Aren't variety shows supposed to be registered?"
