Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 156 Liu Jialing, who is extremely clear-headed and self-aware!

8Days, Singapore's best-selling English gossip magazine, once photographed Liu Jialing's assistant, Lisa, with Leung Chiu-wai in a waterbed room at the Indigo Hotel in Katong.

At that time, Liu Jialing was filming "Self-Combing" in Shunde City, eastern Guangdong Province, mainland China. When interviewed by reporters, she showed no negative emotions, but instead explained with a smile:

"I asked Ah Lisa to go to Singapore to deliver a set of seasonal clothes to Tony Leung."

Later, reporters also spotted Leung Chiu-wai and Liu Ka-ling's assistant, Lisa, at private hot spring guesthouses in Hakone, Japan, pool villas in Phuket, and the SONO CALM Hotel in Jeju Island...

Faced with these reports and photos, Liu Jialing always tried to smooth things over.

It completely lacked the biting satire and verbal rebuttals that Leung Chiu-wai displayed when he appeared alongside celebrities like Tsang Wah-ching, Lai Mei-han, Chow Ka-ling, and Maggie Cheung…

…………

Those in the industry have also come to their senses that the entertainment industry is the most solid feudal fortress in the Chinese-speaking world.

Liu Jialing and her assistant Lisa are a typical example of a master-servant alliance.

They used the tactic of using a maid to secure favor and inherit imperial favor...

This actor with captivating eyes possesses an artistic temperament and a high level of status that makes him very popular in the entertainment industry; ordinary people simply don't even register on his radar...

This assistant, Lisa, can share the facilities with female celebrities such as Maggie Cheung and Margie Tsang.

Besides the exotic charm of her mixed heritage, it's said that her dynamic talent is in no way inferior to that of Liu Jialing in her youth...

…………

Liu Jialing has long since become indifferent to the sex and other frivolous matters in the entertainment industry...

When asked by Wong Jim and Chua Lam on the show "Tonight No Taboos", Lau Ka Ling once replied, "When filming the 'New Police Story' series, we filmed at Kowloon True Light Secondary School."

"On set, I met a lot of female students. I saw them in groups of three or five, wearing uniforms and smiling as they came to be extras."

"At that time, I stood there, looking rather drab, watching my youth say goodbye to me..."

"Actually, some artists who feel very young will realize the gap between themselves and young people if they go to the gates of universities."

Lin Xingzhuo was analyzing films back then when he saw this content in the film archive of the bureau, just as "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" premiered.

One can't help but sigh, compared to Zhou Xun, who is known for her youthful charm among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in China), she is quite different.

Liu Jialing is extremely clear-headed and self-aware.

Assistant Lisa was trained by her own hands based on this self-awareness...

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

Presidential Executive Suite, Sanqin Jinzuo Hotel, Tangdu City.

In the living room is a Yusheng mahjong table made of black walnut, which Liu Jialing specially transported from Shanghai.

Blah blah blah...

Liang Jiahui discarded the winning card, and Liu Jialing won again. Everyone then pushed and shuffled the cards.

Li Bingbing's hands are very well-maintained, very moisturized...

Lin Xingzhuo's card playing technique utilizes the character observation skills found in "Zhu Yilong's Life Observation Notes Manuscript".

By observing the opponent's emotions, you can determine when they have reached the point of being able to win, and then you can retreat and defend.

…………

"Ah chirp!!"

Zhu Yilong, who was filming an advertisement for Ai Zhi Wei Ice Grass Jelly, sneezed.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo didn't use any of the acting and physical techniques she learned while filming, but she used them with great skill and ease in real life!

Even against top fighters like Liu Jialing and Li Bingbing, he managed to hold his own, only losing by a small margin...

…………

Of the four, Liu Jialing is the real expert!
During the golden age of Hong Kong entertainment, any lull in the schedule would inevitably lead to a "Queen of the Night" event.

Zhang Guorong, Liu Jialing, Wang Wen, and Lin Qingxia, four old people, played mahjong together.

Jacky Cheung once complained, "Most of my salary for filming 'The Eagle Shooting Heroes' went to Lau Kar-ling..."

…………

Li Bingbing takes everything she does very seriously; even when she's playing cards, she exudes the same dedication as a student from a small town taking exams!

She even searched for a set of incantations on Sina iAsk and chanted them while typing, as if she were asking a shaman to possess her.

Watch the player before you, keep an eye on the player opposite you, touch the player after you, and shuffle the cards for all three players.

Instead of letting the cards pass by, why not draw one?

First, attack the north; no regrets.

Three against four, seven against eight, bet three or five thousand, don't bet four or seven lightly.

…………

Four people were playing mahjong, and three of them were cheating.

Thus, Liang Jiahui became the sole victim...

Although he portrayed gambling masters in movies like "God of Gamblers," "The God of Gamblers," and "From Vegas to Macau," he also wrote tens of thousands of words of biographical sketches to study the casino ecosystem.

However, he's really bad at cards, and was even exposed by Next Magazine for losing over a million dollars in one night gambling in Macau.

Liu Jialing and several other members of the Hong Kong entertainment circle have a real passion for mahjong. As Zhang Guorong said, "I'd rather play mahjong even if it's the end of the world!!"

For four or five days in a row, everyone did nothing but film, sleep, and play mahjong. They even squeezed in time to go to the toilet.

Sometimes during lunch breaks, they would take time to play mahjong. Lisa would arrange for the food to be packed and served at the mahjong table so they could eat and play at the same time.

The filming of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" was very demanding, so Liu Jialing asked her assistant Lisa to buy a Philips Respironics oxygen concentrator specifically for providing oxygen in the room to keep her alert.

…………

It is said that there are no fathers and sons in casinos, and no rulers and subjects in drinking parties.

However, things in the entertainment industry still involve interpersonal relationships and social skills.

On the third day at noon, Li Bingbing lost several rounds in a row, and Liu Jialing even threw some "bombs" to cheer her up.

That evening, Liu Jialing had a run of bad luck, losing four hands in a row, and finally managed to get to court.

Everyone gave the host face.

Dang! !

Li Bingbing suddenly pushed him down, revealing her hand and saying, "Self-draw!! Pay up!"

Liu Jialing: "..."

…………

Late into the night, Lisa bought fried chicken neck bones and Xie's spicy mixed salad from the night market at the south gate of Jian Da University.

Xie's Spicy Mixed Noodles?

Lin Xingzhuo had heard girls who had undergone rotational training mention this in his previous life.

She drove her G-Wagon specifically from the capital to the ruins of Daming Palace, Linde Hall, and Taiye Pond in Tang Dynasty capital.

This woman has always been like this; she prefers to drive around scenic spots rather than walk.

Years later, she still maintained the same style, taking her sisters to visit the Hall of Supreme Harmony, only unfortunately encountering the mobile internet era.

According to her department head, this woman was furious and posted a complaint on her WeChat Moments:
"Damn! I didn't expect a bunch of poor bastards to be so troublesome!!"

…………

A large family photo packaged by Liu Jialing's assistant, Lisa.

Potatoes, lotus root, spinach, bean curd sheets, fish balls, crab sticks, beef rolls, luncheon meat, plus wide rice noodles.

The ingredients are coated in a bright red sauce, which is very appealing. It is paired with bright green cilantro, golden crushed peanuts, and white pickled garlic...

Lin Xingzhuo, who had eaten instant noodles every day in his previous life, swallowed hard as he listened.

Since I can eat it in this lifetime, of course I won't be polite!

…………

Just as Liu Jialing was about to pick up some food, Lin Xingzhuo, engrossed in his meal, grabbed the whole box!
Liu Jialing: "..."

Liang Jiahui, gnawing on a crispy chicken neck bone, remarked, "You two are quite a good match."

Liu Jialing also said, "Yes, they are quite a good match. I saw it on QQ Space..."

Li Bingbing glanced furtively at Lin Xingzhuo, who was blindfolded and showing off wildly, and blushed.

She probably didn't hear the last sentence Liu Jialing said at all.

Liu Jialing then said, "I saw on QQ Space that Wang Fei's husband, Li Yapeng, had forwarded a joke."

"When the leader goes to court, you touch the table; when the leader picks up food, you turn the table; when the leader speaks, you chat; when the leader walks, you ride in the car; when the leader drinks water, you brake; when the leader sings karaoke, you change the song."

This is a request for Li Bingbing and Lin Xingzhuo.

Unfortunately, the two of them seemed not to have listened at all...

…………

In fact, after the 1998 financial crisis, the Hong Kong film industry suffered a break in its funding chain, and at the same time, superstars such as Chan Lung, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-fat turned to Hollywood.

Directors such as John Woo and Tsui Hark also left the country, and the annual output of Hong Kong films plummeted from a peak of 300 to around 20, with the themes limited to repetitive genres such as police and gangster films.

The era of the Four Heavenly Kings has ended, and the new generation of singers has failed to take its place...

The bigwigs of the Beijing, Shanghai, and Northwest factions in mainland China have begun to realize that the Hong Kong entertainment circle has entered a period of great decline...

However, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. In terms of international business expansion and access to European and American fashion resources, many of the major factions in mainland China still relied on cooperation with the Hong Kong entertainment circle in 2009.

This is why Li Bingbing's agent, Li Xue, insisted that she come and play mahjong with Liu Jialing.

…………

However, I just achieved financial freedom a few days ago.

Lin Xingzhuo, who also has landlord businesses in Beijing and Shanghai, serves as a policy advisor for Jinyuan Huwei Coal Industry and Huying Xinghui, and is the co-founder of Tongshijie Group.

That's clearly not the logic.

He played mahjong with Liu Jialing, and his reason was quite simple...
