Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 207 Star of the Sea City
Room 806, Deluxe King Room, Fangyan Jinglan Qingtang Hotel, Yongkang City.

Lin Xingzhuo recovered at the hotel and finished a whole McDonald's Ham and Egg McFlurry meal.

Following the notes of Jin Shijie in "Body Awakening and Limb Liberation: Methodology of Experimental Drama at Lanju Workshop", I began to practice breathing and muscle relaxation techniques.

First, by closing your eyes and sitting quietly, using abdominal breathing to regulate your body, you can lower cortisol levels and relieve nervous tension. Then, you can complete several sets of progressive muscle relaxation exercises, focusing on releasing muscle fatigue.

…………

The matter of Li Bingbing.

Lin Xingzhuo gradually came to her senses.

This must be the legendary "film crew couple"!!
In a closed environment, spending two or three months, or even four or five months together, men and women in the prime of their lives, are very likely to have something happen...

Moreover, this is especially true in the film and television industry, which requires emotional investment and seeks artistic stimulation.

During an interview with outstanding alumni of Yunzhou University, Nie Yuan frankly stated:
"From a certain perspective, there is no essential difference between couples on film sets and couples on construction sites; it is a common phenomenon in the industry."

"In the entertainment industry, many times it's about abandoning personal ethics and indulging in a life of immorality..."

…………

Of course, with a sufficiently large base of cases, there are also instances where temporary relationships eventually become official and lead to a happy ending.

For example: Gao Yuanyuan, Zhao Youting, Sun Li, Deng Chao, Tang Yan, Luo Jing, Xu Guangtou, Tao Hong, Liu Shishi, Wu Qilong, Yang Mi, Liu Moumou...

These are married couples.

There are countless secret relationships that have ended in breakups...

…………

In fact, Lin Xingzhuo had this expectation when she decided to enter the entertainment industry after her rebirth.

While filming "Beauty's Rival in Palace", Lin Xingzhuo considered the possibility of having a relationship with Yang Mi because of their interactions at the gym yoga studio and the on-screen couple Xue Yuan and Zhou Yafu.

However, Lin Xingzhuo never expected that the "film crew couple" spot, which she had been given to twice in her life, would actually go to Li Bingbing, one of the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses!
Of course, you can't say it was a loss; you can only say it was a relatively niche market!
…………

On Tuesday, Li Bingbing took leave to attend the 46th Taibei Golden Horse Awards.

"Can't Live Without You", "Cow", "The Message", "Like a Dream" and "Mei Lanfang" are all highly anticipated to win awards.

The films competing in this year's Golden Horse Awards are of good quality!

No wonder Li Bingbing is under so much pressure...

…………

The day after Li Bingbing left, Lin Xingzhuo also took leave.

When director Tsui Hark approved the leave request, his expression was extremely bad.

If it weren't for producer Nansheng Shi and second assistant director Cao Dun encouraging him, Xu Ke might have lost his temper on the spot.

Afterwards, Cao Dun sent a QQ message to Lin Xingzhuo, saying that he was taking leave every few days and had been blacklisted by Xu Ke.

Furthermore, when Lin Xingzhuo left, she sensed that the crew members were not as friendly as before.

The main issue is that after filming the action scenes, Lin Xingzhuo entered a disadvantageous mode when filming dramatic scenes.

This led to the crew members being subjected to Tsui Hark's strict food withholding policy, and any small favors they had received before joining the crew were completely wasted during this long series of NGs.

The only reason people gossip about it behind people's backs instead of mocking it to their faces.

It's all about Lin Xingzhuo's background and his influence in the coal industry!
…………

Of course, most of the crew guessed wrong.

Lin Xingzhuo's leave of absence was not due to rumors circulating within the production crew that she went to Taibei with Li Bingbing.

Instead, Liu Jialing had her assistant Lisa find Lin Xingzhuo and fulfill the promise Lisa made while playing mahjong: "give away for free, let him ride..."
………………

That noon, Lisa drove Lin Xingzhuo to Lin'an Xiaoshan International Airport, and the two boarded an Airbus A320 and landed at Chek Lap Kok Airport.

The nanny of Liu Jialing's villa on the hillside arrived at the airport to pick her up in a Rolls-Royce Phantom. This Rolls-Royce was a custom-made "Jialing Red" paint with seven layers of hand-polished finish, a starry sky headliner inlaid with 258 fiber optic stars, and a champagne cooler in the back.

The nanny gave the car keys to Lisa and then took the minibus back to the villa.

…………

Lisa drove Lin Xingzhuo to the Ah Yat Harbour View Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Founded by Chan Chi-ho, a disciple of world-renowned chef Yeung Koon-Yee, the restaurant combines Victoria Harbour views with top-quality abalone dishes. It received a Michelin star upon opening, and Lau Ka-Ling even attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Lisa said, "Mr. Lin, time is a bit tight. We have to go to the site this afternoon, so I'll just order two or three simple dishes, all of which are Jialing's favorites!"

Lin Xingzhuo flipped through the Hong Kong magazines on the shelf and said, "Great!"

Thud!
Lisa snapped her fingers at the waiter and then said:

"Polish goose feet with crown-shaped abalone, braised bamboo fungus, shredded chicken and sea cucumber soup, red wine braised oxtail, and signature casserole fried rice."

Lin Xingzhuo, holding the Hong Kong Jockey Club's Oriental Heart Sutra edition, was speechless when he heard Lisa order food so "simply".

Lin Xingzhuo was flipping through the magazine when Lisa handed him a few photos: "Mr. Lin, this is Sister Jialing's horse, a cousin of Mr. Zheng Yutong's King of Horses, Diamond Treasure."

"These two horses are of the bloodline of Luk Yee, the three-time winner of the Hong Kong Horse Award."

"This batch also includes the latest thoroughbreds auctioned off from Sha Tin Racecourse."

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the auction horses, and there was one that was imported from New Zealand and named "Call of Love".

According to news I read in my previous life, these are the horses that Aaron Kwok bought.

This horse performed quite well and is beginner-friendly.

He has participated in 18 competitions, winning 2 championships, 3 runner-up finishes, and 5 third-place finishes, accumulating approximately HK$200 million in prize money.

Lisa noticed Lin Xingzhuo's gaze and said, "You like this 'Call of Love'?"

"I've heard that many people are optimistic about it, and the competition is fierce!"

"However, Sister Jialing personally promised to give you a horse, and she will definitely win it for you even if it's auctioned in Sha Tin."

Lin Xingzhuo, of course, believed Liu Jialing's promise.

After all, this woman has been quite successful in her investments in real estate, catering, and entertainment in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, making her a Hong Kong female star with considerable financial strength!

Among Hong Kong actresses of that generation, she is one of the most successful examples of transitioning into a business-oriented career!

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Then let's leave it at that."

Lisa nodded: "I'll contact the agent to coordinate!"

Lin Xingzhuo took a bite of the braised bamboo fungus and shredded chicken and sea cucumber soup that had just been served. The sea cucumber was soft and smooth, and the bamboo fungus had absorbed the umami flavor of the chicken soup, making the soup thick and smooth.

good to eat!

No wonder it's a must-order for Sister Jialing!
Lin Xingzhuo was drinking chicken and sea cucumber soup when he casually browsed the international auction news section of the horse racing newspaper and saw the name of a horse...

Haidu Star! ! !

…………

In their previous lives, Guangdong East TV and Pengcheng TV had a period of popularity where they purchased high-quality old TVB dramas to broadcast.

Lin Xingzhuo had reviewed the 93 TVB anniversary drama "The Horse Racing Tycoon", which was introduced by Guangdong East TV.

When reviewing the report, I used a VPN to access a lot of information related to horse racing.

The name "Sea City Star" has been mentioned repeatedly in the materials...

…………

So Lin Xingzhuo stopped Lisa, who was about to make a phone call, and asked, "Where's this one?"

Lisa said, "Huh? This is a retired horse..."
