Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 209 Golden Horse Award-winning actress! Exercising her privileges!

Lin Xingzhuo replied, "A friend gave me a horse, and I came here to complete the formalities. How did you know?"

Feng Shaofeng: "My father wanted to help a friend get a Hong Kong Jockey Club membership, so he asked his business partner in Hong Kong to inquire about it."

Feng Shaofeng: "They say it's difficult to get full memberships this year, and the membership fee has increased by HK$10, but demand still can't meet supply!!"

Feng Shaofeng: "The other party mentioned that a newcomer recently arrived, a mainland star who starred in the recently popular drama 'Dwelling Narrowness,' and cut in line, taking up one of the already scarce spots this year."

Feng Shaofeng: "I immediately thought it must be you, Zhuo Ge."

Lin Xingzhuo remembered that Young Master Feng's father was a textile industry tycoon in Shanghai. During his university years, he rode a top-of-the-line Yamaha motorcycle and raced around to woo Song Jia, a junior from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

After graduation, I became a "Beijing drifter," bought a large apartment, and spent some time as an extra in the entertainment industry in the capital.

Cao Dun also chimed in the group: "Brother Zhuo, did you register for Facebook and join the Hong Kong Island All-Star Jockey Club closed group?"

Cao Dun's remarks once again prove that there are truly no secrets in the entertainment industry.

Lin Xingzhuo had just registered a Facebook account when the crew of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" in mainland China received the news.

Lin Xingzhuo asked in the group chat, "You just registered last night. How did you know?"

Cao Dun: "I heard it from Andy Lau. He is a registered horse owner and charity ambassador of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and he is also in that group."

Cao Dun: "However, he said you might have been murdered. There are several offspring of that horse that have been reported to have genetic diseases."

Lin Xingzhuo replied, "This is just a matter of probability, don't worry, I've always been lucky."

Faced with such a confident Lin Xingzhuo, Cao Dun could only reply with a Yao Ming face emoji from Rage Comics.

Feng Shaofeng: "Brother Zhuo, I'm going to the Venetian Macao to see a concert, Linkin Park's world tour in Macau. I have some free tickets from the organizers. Do you want to come with me?"

Lin Xingzhu hesitated for a long time, but finally resisted the temptation and typed a reply: "Forget it, the crew's dialogue scenes are far behind schedule, I'd better go back, otherwise Xu Laoguai will probably explode!"

Cao Dun: "Indeed! Director Xu has been in a bad mood lately, Brother Zhuo, you should be careful when you come back."

Feng Shaofeng: "What a pity, I had my agent look for several places to practice Buddhism."

Chen Guang, who had been lying in wait, suddenly emerged and said, "Let me explain the cultivation site in detail..."

Cao Dun: +1
Lin Xingzhuo: +1
…………

Haojiang boasts a large number of independent cultivators and sects, and its semi-public nature, along with the number of international independent cultivators, undoubtedly ranks first among all cities in the country.

Undoubtedly the premier Taoist temple in China!
During his university years, Feng Shaofeng went on a field research trip with his teacher, Tian Rui, at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. He experienced this firsthand and still finds it unforgettable.

…………

The temple is magnificent! The disciples come from all corners of the world!

Aside from the Central Plains, the East and West Oceans, the Southern Barbarians and Northern Barbarians, the land is vast and diverse, with ever-changing landscapes that can easily overwhelm the senses.

He still remembers that he chose a blonde, blue-eyed Rakshasa female disciple to cultivate with, and practiced in the illusion of a master and his female slave. After completing the cultivation, he felt relaxed and had the feeling of becoming an immortal.

Of course, if a naive young man goes there, he will often be unable to see the whole picture and will always be lingering outside the mountain gate, unable to enter the place of cultivation.

That's because the cultivation method is incorrect! The path to immortality needs a guide!

………………

Over the next two days, Lisa completed the necessary paperwork, including the horse purchase and sale contract, full membership card, horse passport, Hong Kong Jockey Club registration certificate, and stable storage contract.

Lin Xingzhuo hurriedly took a red-eye flight back to the set of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame".

In fact, it wasn't just Cao Dun, the second assistant director of the production team, who was giving the hints.

Zhang Youqian has made several phone calls, saying that news of Lin Xingzhuo taking leave to chase girls and go horseback riding has spread throughout the crew and has already angered everyone.

Xiao Ma, driving a Chevrolet Captiva, was already waiting at Lin'an Xiaoshan International Airport.

Lin Xingzhuo returned to the film crew, pondering how to use his wealth and dump trucks to resolve the trouble.

However, she found that everyone in the crew greeted Lin Xingzhuo with sincere and gentle smiles and took the initiative to greet her warmly.

Compared to the terrible atmosphere before Lin Xingzhuo went to Hong Kong, this gave Lin Xingzhuo a feeling of being in another world.

Lin Xingzhu lit a 555 cigarette he brought back from Hong Kong and asked his agent, Zhang Youqian:
"What's going on? Did you issue a 'Sunshine Award' to quell public anger?"

Zhang Youqian handed over a copy of the Yangcheng Evening News and said, "You didn't know? Li Bingbing won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress!"

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the newspaper reports and photos of the awards ceremony. The headline read, "Li Bingbing sheds tears as she accepts the Best Actress award at the Golden Horse Awards; Zhang Jiahui and Huang Bocheng win the 'Double Best Actor' award."

Lin Xingzhuo said, "What does that have to do with me?"

Zhang Youqian replied, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'?"

Lin Xingzhuo put down the newspaper, took a drag of his cigarette, and said, "So am I a chicken or a dog?"

Zhang Youqian rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Ducks are the same!!"

Lin Xingzhuo: "..."

Lin Xingzhuo noticed that this once innocent, short-haired sweet girl was slowly starting to take a sweet and spicy turn...

Zhang Youqian flicked a bun of hair behind her ear and said, "Just kidding, it seems like our previous CP hype with Li Bingbing really paid off!!!"

"As the newly crowned Golden Horse Best Actress, Li Bingbing's every move has been closely followed by the media recently. I estimate that she will be trending again after the Entertainment Weekly publishes the article."

"And also, the actress's man! We might be invited to high-end brand events, film festival red carpets, and other top-tier fashion resources..."

"By leveraging Li Bingbing's high-end image and status as a film queen, Zhuo Ge, your commercial value will be reassessed!!"

Zhang Youqian was planning to leverage this opportunity to elevate Lin Xingzhuo's fashion status, while Lin Xingzhuo took a moment to check the substantial profits he had made from betting on Li Bingbing.

They've made a killing this time!!
…………

After the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Li Bingbing returned to the set of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame".

Li Bingbing's status has changed dramatically. Her living conditions, makeup, and vehicles on the set have all been upgraded, even surpassing those of Liu Jialing.

Li Xue, who was originally held hostage by the company in Beijing for training, also ended his rotation ahead of schedule and returned to the crew of "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame".

…………

The next day, during the script reading session, Li Bingbing began to exercise her privilege of revising the script as a Best Actress winner!
They want more screen time!

Lin Xingzhuo was not surprised when he heard the news.

With her Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, Li Bingbing has not only secured her position among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in China), but has also signaled the complete end of the competition between the Huayi Brothers for the title of "Number One Actress"...

In this situation of winning big and winning terribly!

If Li Bingbing doesn't make any more demands...

Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng, and other key members of the production team were all secretly worried, fearing that the other side was holding back a big surprise...

…………

Xu Ke said, "Artistic creation is inherently a process of continuous exploration and revision. Bingbing, which specific scenes do you want to add scenes to?"

Li Bingbing's agent, Li Xue, glanced at Lin Xingzhuo, who was eating canned Lin'an walnuts in the corner of the conference room, handed Xu Ke a few pages of script content, and said:
"Director Xu, these are a few scenes we've added..."

Xu Ke paused for a moment after reading the added content, and then looked at Lin Xingzhuo, who was eating creamy pecans like a hamster at the edge of the conference room.
