Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 205 The Changing Landscape of "Four Dan and Two Bing"
Yongkang City, Fangyan Scenic Area, the film crew of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame".

Lin Xingzhuo and Li Bingbing returned to the film crew and began their intense filming work again.

Lin Xingzhuo's action scenes are basically finished. Next is the reshoot of the dialogue scenes, which, as always, resulted in a lot of retakes.

On Thursday afternoon, the scene where Shangguan Jing'er was reprimanded by Wu Zetian for not killing Di Renjie as ordered was filmed.

In this scene, Liu Jialing, who plays Wu Zetian, left behind the famous quote, "Those who wish to achieve great things can even kill their closest relatives," which immediately established the character's image.

…………

That evening, Li Bingbing invited Lin Xingzhuo to Hongyuan Restaurant on Gaozhen Road in Yongkang City.

Li Bingbing chose a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window.

The two ordered braised pork rice, steamed shrimp, beef from Puzai, and poached goose liver, among other dishes. Li Bingbing also brought several bottles of "Jiangnan Little Moutai" Tongshan liquor.

There weren't many customers in the restaurant, but Lin Xingzhuo felt something was off, and glanced out the window...

Holy shit! !
A reporter with a camera and a badge smiled at Lin Xingzhuo from outside the window.

Damn it! That was terrifying!
Seeing that Li Bingbing's expression was normal, Lin Xingzhuo said, "This is the reporter who helped us hype up our CP? Weren't they filming in Shanghai? How did they follow us all the way to Yongkang City?"

Li Bingbing's face flushed slightly. He opened a bottle of baijiu and said, "The company... um... they said they lost track of him..."

Lin Xingzhuo was stunned and said, "We searched for him all day at Happy Valley, and we still lost him?"

The waiter brought out the steamed shrimp. Li Bingbing picked up a piece and said while eating, "It seems he went to Jinjiang Amusement Park in MH District."

"Mmm! Delicious, so fresh and bouncy! I heard this dish is made by steaming live shrimp in a high-temperature stone pot to retain their sweetness to the maximum extent. Xingzhuo, you should try it!"

Click! Click!

Lin Xingzhuo picked up a piece of steamed shrimp, but couldn't help glancing at the reporters pressed against the window, holding long lenses and cameras, snapping photos. He even seemed to be looking at them sideways. He then said:
"How could you get this wrong?"

"And the way he films... he doesn't seem very smart..."

Li Bingbing picked up a piece of Yongkang grey goose liver, chewed it, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! He's a top reporter for Entertainment Weekly!"

"Back then, Wenzhang took his pregnant wife, Ma Yili, to the Yonghe Temple to burn incense and protect the pregnancy."

"The photo of Wenzhang kneeling and praying devoutly was taken and exclusively revealed by him! It instantly established Wenzhang's image as a good husband!"

Lin Xingzhuo paused, then glanced at the reporter, picked up a piece of sliced ​​foie gras, and muttered to herself:
"A top reporter? Is this a top pilot requesting to go into battle?"

…………

This scene reminded Lin Xingzhuo of a deputy director in the TV drama review department of the State Administration of Radio and Television in his previous life.

A military veteran who graduated from an aviation academy.

She also has strabismus, but it's much more severe than this reporter's...

It's the kind of job where one eye is on guard duty and the other can also keep watch.

As for work style...

It's that kind of work style where they'd protect you!

I quit after two years; I heard I went to support the western regions...

When Lin Xingzhu first heard the news, he felt a little embarrassed because he had privately complained about the unreasonable workload during the previous showdown.

I found out later...

What?! The American West?!
…………

Li Bingbing seemed a little anxious today.

After the reporter took the photos, said goodbye, and left, she drank a lot of alcohol and quickly fell into a dazed state.

Lin Xingzhuo controlled his drinking pace; he was afraid of drinking too much.

That's the scene where the male rabbit's feet twitch, and the two rabbits run side by side...

…………

When Li Bingbing went to pay the bill.

Lin Xingzhuo also took a look at the bottle to confirm the alcohol content.

Zhou Yun, the property manager of Hong Kong Link Property Management at No. 1 Fudi Capital Apartment.

That unlucky guy was when he was dating his wife.

One day, while eating hot pot at a girl's rented apartment, the girl drank a bottle of pineapple beer and then became so drunk that she was staggering around.

When Zhou Yun was cleaning the house the next day, he took a closer look. Zero alcohol content???
…………

After dinner, back at the Yongkang Fangyan Jinglan Qingtang Hotel, Li Bingbing insisted on taking Lin Xingzhuo back to her room.

With Li Xue not around, her agent Zhang Ye went to clean up Du Chun's mess. It's said that during the filming of the TV series "Beauty Like a Painting," she and Zhang Jiani became a couple on set.

The other woman's boyfriend was cheated on, and she made a scene on her blog...

In this situation, Li Bingbing only had one assistant by his side.

This guy has only been with the company for a few months, how could he possibly control someone as big as Li Bingbing?
…………

"Sis, this is for sobering up..."

"Alright, it's getting late! Go back to your room and get some rest!"

The assistant brought over two bottles of Turmeric Power, and Li Bingbing took them and slammed the door shut.

Bang! !

Assistant: "..."

No, sis, this is Lin Xingzhuo's room...

…………

Li Bingbing closed the door, took two bottles of drinks, walked straight to the bedside, her skirt brushed against Lin Xingzhuo's calves, bringing a slight breeze, and then gently sat on the edge of the bed.

The mattress sank slightly, and Lin Xingzhuo could clearly feel the heat from Li Bingbing's body through the thin fabric.

Lin Xingzhuo's Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly.

Li Bingbing turned to the side, a strand of hair falling unintentionally, brushing against the back of Lin Xingzhuo's hand resting on the bed sheet.

The touch was like a feather brushing against the tip of the heart, stirring up a subtle tingling sensation.

Li Bingbing handed over a bottle of Turmeric Power and said, "My flight is on Saturday noon; I'm going to Taibei for the Golden Horse Awards..."

Lin Xingzhuo unscrewed the cap and took a sip. The turmeric had a strong natural bitter taste and should be chilled to suppress the turmeric's odor.

Lin Xingzhu capped the drink bottle, sensing Li Bingbing's tension, and reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll definitely have something to show for it this time!"

………………

Li Bingbing's career has so far revolved around television dramas.

Although the film won the Huabiao Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for "The Knot", it still received limited recognition from mainstream awards and was left without any Chinese-language awards.

The Golden Horse Awards, as one of the highest honors in Chinese-language cinema, is a core stepping stone for him to transform into a "top-tier Chinese-language film actor".

In addition, there is "The Message," which is also nominated for awards this time. Zhou Xun's portrayal of Gu Xiaomeng is outgoing and eye-catching, while Li Bingbing's Li Ningyu requires restrained acting skills to support the depth of the character.

Zhou Xun had previously swept numerous awards for his films including "Suzhou River", "Hollywood Hong Kong", "Perhaps Love" and "The Equation of Love and Death".

He's now a top-tier figure in domestic art-house films, giving him a natural advantage in the judging panel!
Furthermore, the company is currently going public, and with both actresses competing for the Golden Horse Award for the same film, the media has sensationalized this competition as a "battle for Huayi Brothers' top female star"!

…………

Li Bingbing mentioned this matter in the behind-the-scenes footage of Hunan TV's "Back to Field".

On the eve of the 2009 Golden Horse Awards, her sister Li Xue, who was her agent, had a long talk with her about this matter.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she has accumulated a fan base comparable to the others based on just a few TV dramas.

However, the truth is that celebrities don't care about their fans!

Big stars and small stars are all the same; fans are both important and unimportant.

As long as you're not banned by the authorities, as long as you have works, awards, and fashion resources.

There will always be people willing to brainwash themselves!
…………

Despite the company investing significant resources in previous attempts to win film awards, the ventures were unsuccessful.

If they fail again this time, they may be typecast by the market as television actresses or supporting actresses in commercial films, which would change the landscape of the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses...

………………

Compared to Li Bingbing, who was gripped by extreme anxiety, Lin Xingzhuo remained quite calm.

The reason is also very simple...
