Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 206

Lin Xingzhuo, through his past life's experience, clearly understood the format of the Golden Horse Awards.

It can't last...

The fundamental reason is that Taibei bans the screening of mainland Chinese films.

Nominally, 10 mainland Chinese films are randomly selected each year to be screened in Taiwan.

In reality, even if you are selected, there is a high chance that your application will be rejected if it involves positive promotion of mainland China.

In other words, Taibei has censorship thresholds, and mainland films that are not on the lucky list are not allowed to be screened in Taibei.

How can someone in a place that even bans mainland Chinese films from being shown have the right to decide the quality of mainland Chinese films?!
This is similar to how the South Korea International Film Festival is regarded as the gold standard in the United States, with Americans debating whether the Oscars or the South Korea International Film Festival is more authoritative.

…………

There is censorship in mainland China...

However, according to the "Current Measures for Strengthening the Management of Cross-Strait Film Cooperation".

Films produced by Taibei Production Company are not subject to annual import quotas when imported, and the approval process is simplified. Import standards emphasize ideological and artistic merit, and encourage diverse themes.

In other words, the censorship of Tai Bei's films in mainland China is practically non-existent and completely open. As long as a theater chain imports the film and the content isn't too outrageous, it can be shown in mainland China.

The most typical example is that even a green-haired film like "Seediq Bale" could pass censorship successfully, which shows how lax the censorship of Tai Bei's films is in mainland China...

Tai Bei not only censors mainland films, but also uses inhumane practices like lotteries.

…………

A film award created by 2350 million people can determine film investment, actor salaries, and celebrity endorsements in a Chinese market worth 15 billion.

That's completely unreasonable!
The mainland cannot voluntarily abolish it!

…………

This made the Golden Horse Awards the most authoritative award in the Chinese-language film industry for a long time, and a cornerstone of the film and television industry in northern Taiwan.

Whether it's the Beijing film industry, the Shanghai film industry, the Hong Kong film industry, or film and television capital and internet capital, in order to curry favor with the Golden Horse Awards, everyone in the film and television industry across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong has to give face to Taibei's filmmakers!
By manipulating the discourse power of the top Chinese-language film and television award, a group of artists and directors from Taibei rose to fame, leading the artistic trend of Chinese-language film and television and acquiring an excessive amount of resources in the Chinese entertainment industry.

…………

This abnormal situation, where the South Korean International Film Festival controlled the discourse of Hollywood, persisted for a long time, leading the Golden Horse Awards to genuinely believe that they were a big deal!
Actually, if it weren't for my fondness for Sun Moon Lake, would it even have been my turn?!

………………

The two sat awkwardly, chatting about this and that, from the three major Chinese film awards to the Japan Academy Film Prize, the South Korean Grand Bell Awards, and then to the three major European art film festivals.

There's still no progress bar...

I thought tonight would just be wasted.

…………

To gain something, you must first understand how to accept loss.

I once wandered along the snowy road
Why shed tears for good things?

Who can claim Mount Fuji as their private property based solely on love?

…………

Li Bingbing's phone rang with the song "Under Mount Fuji".

She answered a phone call, and a dozen minutes later, she excitedly returned to her room.

Li Bingbing said, "My sister received news that Zhou Xun went to Paris as a special guest to attend the Chanel Fall/Winter Haute Couture fashion show."

Lin Xingzhuo wasn't too surprised, as Zhou Xun had missed the 2009 Golden Horse Awards ceremony in his previous life.

Seeing that Lin Xingzhuo seemed to have known all along, Li Bingbing suddenly leaned closer and abruptly said:
"You took action?"

Lin Xingzhuo was stunned: "What? What did you mean by 'making a move'?"

Gudong! !
In the dim light, Li Bingbing sat leaning against the edge of the bed, and as if losing her balance, she leaned against Lin Xingzhuo beside her.

That move was reckless!
The ball first touched his arm unintentionally, then bounced back timidly, paused for a moment, and finally came to a bold stop.

This seemingly insignificant touch suddenly felt like an electric current, and Lin Xingzhuo's body instantly straightened up!

It was stiff, yet clearly trembling slightly!
Fueled by alcohol, Li Bingbing took another step closer, his face slowly approaching Lin Xingzhuo's.

Their breaths mingled, warm from each other's exhalations, their foreheads and the tip of their noses almost touching...

Li Bingbing pressed closer and asked, "You don't have confidence that I'll win the award?"

Lin Xingzhuo felt her heart pounding wildly. She swallowed hard and said:

"How is that possible? I bought the maximum amount of chips on the online websites of all six licensed casinos in Macau."

Li Bingbing said, "That's not what I meant! Then why did you make Zhou Xun withdraw?"

Lin Xingzhuo was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain...

In his previous life, Zhou Xun did not attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in 2009, and the reasons for this are widely debated.

Rumors of no future children, pregnancy speculation, the coordination of award distribution by Wayi, scheduling conflicts with fashion events, and hype by the Golden Horse Awards organizers, etc.

Lin Xingzhuo's silence was taken as tacit agreement by Li Bingbing.

She leaned closer again, the warmth of her body pressing down on Lin Xingzhuo, and she could clearly feel his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly.

Li Bingbing breathed warmly on her and leaned in to ask, "Am I pretty?"

Lin Xingzhuo's throat was dry and tight, and her breathing was a little unsteady: "Of course it looks good! Okay...okay...stop fooling around..."

Li Bingbing then realized with a start that their positions had already changed!

Without her noticing, she had straddled his taut thighs, trapping him firmly between the edge of the bed and herself.

Her legs wrapped around his lean waist, and through the thin fabric, Li Bingbing could clearly feel the instantaneous hardening of his leg muscles.

The intimate weight and curves pressed against Lin Xingzhuo's taut lower abdomen, arousing the most primal restlessness, surging like an electric current.

Lin Xingzhuo suddenly held his breath! Li Bingbing also seemed to be hanging on a trembling string!

They were so close that they could see their own blurry reflections deep in each other's pupils, and they could clearly hear each of their rapid heartbeats.

Everything teetered on the brink of collapse amidst a silent, burning ambiguity...

…………

In fact, the crew had noticed something about the interaction between Li Bingbing and Lin Xingzhuo a long time ago.

Liu Jialing even joked about it after finishing filming the day before yesterday.
Lin Xingzhuo's analysis of the White Dragon King's destiny is quite famous in Hong Kong!
She can sing, she can act, and her movements are so cool!!
Many new employees from companies in the Hong Kong entertainment circle are in the lobby.

Liu Jialing also said she planned to introduce some Hong Kong girls to Lin Xingzhuo.

This really provoked Li Bingbing!

……

Originally, Li Bingbing was a career-oriented and very ambitious person; even when faced with Liu Jialing's provocation, she would never have considered these things...

But Lin Xingzhuo's investment of resources, and the little things they did together every day... especially the fact that she helped him clear away the biggest obstacle to winning the award this time...

Never mind!!

How many times in life can one truly fight for something?!

We must seize every opportunity!
Li Bingbing's ears felt like they were about to be burned, and she bit her lip as she said:

"You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!!"

Lin Xingzhuo was confused: "Wait, what's wrong? I didn't do anything!"

Li Bingbing was too lazy to waste words with Lin Xingzhuo, so she leaned down and bit Lin Xingzhuo's shoulder.

Ouch!!
It bites again! Do career-oriented female celebrities like this?
Last time, Lishui only got beaten up and didn't get to eat any meat.

Damn it! Even if it's the end of the world or a volcanic eruption, we can't stop!
…………

That evening, Lin Xingzhuo experienced Li Bingbing's extreme contrast once again.

In the second half, Bingbing, who was in a very emotional state, even added a black stockings bonus!

Long legs and black stockings, who can resist that?
In the last moment of his daze, Li Bingbing thought of something.

Am I already dead?
………………

The next day, the whole room was a complete mess.

It's been a long time since I played a full game.

Last night I played a game that lasted almost 48 minutes.

I'm not exaggerating at all!

At the post-match press conference, the player was trembling with fear at the loss! He was completely convinced of his defeat!
The two embraced tightly!

…………

Lin Xingzhuo lay limp on the messy bed, her limbs dangling precariously over the edge of the bed, her ankles dangling over the side, her toes unconsciously rubbing against the wrinkled sheets.

Li Bingbing, looking radiant, after showering and applying exquisite makeup, said:

"I had my assistant buy McDonald's for breakfast. Would you like some ham and egg McFlurry?"

"Wait a moment, I'll bring you one."

Lin Xingzhuo said weakly, "Eat."

Li Bingbing looked at Lin Xingzhuo, organized his thoughts, and said:
"Xingzhuo, I understand how much you've sacrificed for me..."

"However, now that I'm really focusing on my career, I'm actually a staunch advocate of not getting married!"

"My family of origin taught me one thing."

"A marriage certificate can be very heavy, so heavy that both parties are exhausted before they can separate. It can also be very light, so light that it can't even be sold at a recycling center for a bottle of water."

"In short, romantic entanglements are hindering my ability to navigate the world..."

Lin Xingzhuo: ???
