Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 144: Was it me... who killed me?

Lin Xingzhuo sat on the edge of the waterbed in the room, lit a Green Pavilion cigarette, and made a phone call: "I've arrived at the hotel."

On the phone, Li Nian apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I have to go back to Shanghai."

“Xingzhuo, you mentioned the inspiration from the Chichu Art Museum on Naoshima Island, Japan.”

"The idea of ​​using blue and purple flowers to match water lily elements, borrowing the imagery from Monet's famous painting 'Water Lilies,' is absolutely fantastic."

"This Monet Garden flower box was retweeted 6000 times on Weibo, and 500 boxes were sold in three days!!"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Business is good! What's the price of this flower box?"

Li Nian said, "The main positioning is luxury goods. The basic model is 1680 yuan, and the classic model is 2180 yuan."

Lin Xingzhu clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this.

As I recall, the average price of a regular boxed lunch in Shanghai in 2009 was 8 yuan.

This level of spending power is truly worthy of Shanghai...

Li Nian continued on the other end of the phone, "By the way, Xiang Haiqi contacted the host of 'Sunshine Express' through his connections from his previous job at Dragon TV."

"According to what you said, that host's other program, 'Love Knocks on the Door,' does indeed have a dance teacher who is actually a sophomore at the Beijing Dance Academy, working part-time as an extra during the summer vacation!"

"I interviewed her, but her outfit was too unfashionable. Later, I restyled and re-dressed her, and she went from ugly duckling to swan, barely qualifying to be a model for our brand."

Lin Xingzhuo exhaled a puff of smoke. He hadn't expected that his casual remark would actually lead Li Nian to recruit Li Yitong as a model.

Li Nian said, "Xingzhuo, Xiang Haiqi proposed signing a three-year model contract with Li Yitong. You are our company's consultant, could you please give us your opinion?"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Three years?"

Li Nian: "Is it too long?"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "It's too short. This girl is known for her high quality and low price. Don't miss out. Quickly sign a long-term exclusive model contract."

The sound of Li Nian taking notes with pen and paper came from the phone: "Okay! I got it! I'll tell Xiang Haiqi about it right away."

Looking at the red gauze curtains, warm spotlights, and fragrant aromatherapy in the waterbed room, Lin Xingzhuo felt a little thirsty and said, "Do we really have to go back to Shanghai in the next couple of days?"

Li Nian's voice on the phone carried a hint of flirtation as he said, "Missing me?"

Lin Xingzhuo felt that this innocent little white rabbit with a marriage-oriented style had begun to advance in her cultivation.

Lin Xingzhuo was silent for a moment, then Li Nian's coquettish voice came from the phone again: "Isn't it because everything you like is so expensive?!"

"Take a look at the file folder in the drawer! I'm hanging up now, I need to discuss online collaboration with Vancl later."

Lin Xingzhuo felt a little upset that he couldn't get any, so he put out his cigarette and said, "Okay."

…………

Li Yitong is from Shandong Province, and Da Bin is from Quancheng, Shandong Province. Their fathers were friends.

The host of the show "Love Knocks on the Door" is Da Bin.

In this program, Li Yitong, a "classic dance teacher," and Fu Longfei went on a blind date and held hands. The two sweetly kissed each other, and Fu Longfei even took her to visit his hometown and cooked for her himself.

Lin Xingzhuo only learned that these characters with completely different styles actually had connections when he saw Li Yitong's actor profile while reviewing the 17 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

…………

In his past life, Lin Xingzhuo had such a deep impression of Li Yitong.

It was because when reviewing the 2017 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I saw a detailed breakdown of the main actors' salaries in the "Production Cost Ratio Allocation Report".

Lin Xingzhuo initially thought the production team had filled it out incorrectly, so she pulled out the "Remuneration Commitment Letter" signed and stamped by the producer to check it again.

In 2017, this guy filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and only charged 1500 yuan per episode!

The idea of ​​linking "low profit, high volume" with the entertainment industry seems rather abstract...

Li Yitong has a cold constitution, yet she never lacks projects, which might be due to this reason. Anyway, Lin Xingzhuo had Li Nian sign a long-term exclusive contract with Li Yitong as a model for Wild Beast, precisely because she was cheap.

It's definitely not for becoming a lawless outlaw in the future... Wild Speed... and it's certainly not for actual combat with Meng Yu... such a strange idea...

…………

Wow! !
Lin Xingzhuo opened the drawer and saw a kraft paper document bag. Inside was...

I am!

COFCO Ocean View One?
The apartment is a high-end river-view unit with one unit per floor. Inside, there is a property certificate, keys, and a property gift agreement that Li Nian has already signed...

Does this house belong to me now?

Um... there's also Li Nian's rental agreement...

Lin Xingzhuo felt a little dizzy.

…………

Did Li Nian buy a large apartment in COFCO Ocean View One to support her? Or did she use a large river-view apartment in Shanghai to support Li Nian?
Who's keeping whom?!
Or did I... become my own sugar daddy?
Who killed me, and whom did I kill?!
Did I... kill me?

…………

This situation evokes the image of a free canary that bought its own cage and moved into Lin Xingzhuo's house...

Lin Xingzhuo felt a complex mix of emotions.

He recalled Uncle Da's classic line: "Oh no, you've fallen in love!!"

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

We left the luxurious waterbed room at the Capoli Lovers' Inn.

Lin Xingzhuo called Lin Roujia, a fitness coach he knew in Yunze City who graduated from the Nutrition Management major at Jinling Institute of Physical Education and was skilled in wrestling and jiu-jitsu.

I'm preparing to formally hire her as my personal trainer!

There are two in Beijing, one in Shanghai now, a childhood sweetheart in South Korea, and a girl addicted to the internet who plays KartRider with me whenever she has free time...

Physical exercise really needs to be prioritized, and it needs to be more intense!!

Lin Xingzhuo didn't want to go from being able to pee three feet against the wind to being able to pee his shoes wet with the wind just a few years after his rebirth...

…………

Lin Xingzhuo returned to the hotel and ordered a pot of Longjing tea at the Lin'an Restaurant on the first floor. Then he asked his executive agent, Xiao Ma, to go to KFC to buy a set meal of spicy Sichuan beef and sweet corn sticks.

No sooner had Xiao Ma left than his agent, Zhang Youqian, approached him with a stack of documents and said:
"Brother Zhuo, you submitted your resume to the production team yourself?"

Lin Xingzhuo put down her teacup and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Zhang Youqian said, "The team of Hong Kong director Tsui Hark contacted me and said that you have passed the test and that we should hurry up and go to Tangdu City to join the crew!"

Lin Xingzhuo was completely bewildered; he had absolutely no connection with Tsui Hark...

…………

At that moment, my phone received a text message from Lin Xilei.

Hi! Did you receive an interview invitation?

Lin Xingzhuo replied to the text message: "You recommended me? You helped me submit my resume?"

A few seconds later, Lin Xilei replied: "I gave your information to Sister Jialing. She happens to have a good relationship with your boss, President Shen, so she strongly recommended you to Xu Ke."

Lin Xingzhuo replied, "No, the release date of this film seems to conflict with the release date of 'Reign of Assassins'? Are they using me as a poison pill to trick Tsui Hark?"
