Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 235 is more than two versions ahead of the Chinese server!!

Peng Haoxiang brought up the "Women Who Flirt Are the Luckiest" project again, which he had been preparing since 05 and had failed to secure investment several times.

Lin Xingzhuo had some impression of this urban romantic comedy starring Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming.

The script for this drama was polished for four years and revised more than 50 times. The casting and filming locations were also changed repeatedly.

The lengthy preparation period led investors to have doubts about the project's execution capabilities, and then the financial crisis occurred.

Many investors withdrew due to uncertainties in the production cycle and difficulties in funding their main business.

Ultimately, the project was repeatedly delayed until 2013 before it finally started.

…………

Peng Haoxiang and Liang Qiyuan's intention to attract investment is quite obvious.

However, Tiger Shadow Star Brilliance Culture Media Co., Ltd. was stretched to its limits in terms of human and financial resources that year.

The co-produced series "Beauty's Rival in Palace" is currently in post-production, and there are also two other web series, "The Swindler" and "Men's Diary".

And hundreds of episodes of animations such as "Boonie Bears" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are all made using Maya 3D modeling technology.

The animation division employs 400 animation staff and operates eight production lines simultaneously, resulting in huge investment costs.

The animated film "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf," slated for the Spring Festival release, is also in production...

Meanwhile, the international department's expansion into the South Korean and Japanese markets is also in the resource investment phase. The entire company is so busy that it's like a windmill, constantly turning, and we simply can't keep up!
Tiger Film Star is simply no longer capable of handling a film project that has been dragging on and delayed for years!
…………

Zhu Yilong's handwritten notes on life observations!

Lin Xingzhuo used the dialogue and action analysis techniques from her Beijing Film Academy observation notes to discover that Peng Haoxiang was persistent about this project.

On the surface, it was because at Taibei Airport in the year 2000, he observed that female passengers generally carried the best-selling book "Women Who Know How to Flirt Are the Luckiest" by Taiwanese author Luo Manfu.

The underlying principle is that Peng Haoxiang keenly captured the social phenomenon of the emotional dilemmas faced by urban youth in the new millennium.

He wanted to create a work similar to Notting Hill.

Unfortunately, Peng Haoxiang cherished this opportunity for insight too much, polished the script too meticulously, and made the production cycle too long, thus missing this opportunity.

It started preparations in 2005 but wasn't released until 2014, nearly a decade later. During that time, the emotional relationships between urban men and women had already undergone several iterations…

What version of social phenomenon does "Women Who Know How to Flirt Are the Luckiest" want to reflect?
Outdated from the moment it's produced! Outdated by the moment it's released!!

…………

Although Lin Xingzhuo did not intend to invest, she was still willing to help Peng Haoxiang avoid some pitfalls, so she took the initiative to steer the conversation toward the topic of urban men and women's relationships.

When this topic came up, the old literary youth Peng Haoxiang immediately adopted a literary style and sighed, "Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns."

"A few glasses of whiskey among urban young men and women can often spark some romantic love stories."

Liang Qiyuan lit a Hong Kong version of Double Happiness cigarette and said, "Nowadays, many people say they are old even though they are over twenty or thirty."

"At its core, it's all about youth. Only youthful souls can spark a romance over two cigarettes at the alleyway and blossom into love in the heart of the city's skyscrapers!"

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the two people's remarks.

I remember when I was writing a paper for a core social science journal in my previous life, I looked through a list of Japanese variety shows and watched the episode of "Chat 007" that featured Yuya Tegoshi.

This "Japanese version of Luo Zhixiang," who once set a record of dating 100 people in a single year in the Japanese entertainment industry, talks about his dazzling love history and summarizes a set of love theories from his experience.

In this regard, the classic Japanese server is 0.5 versions ahead of the Korean server! It's one version ahead of the Hong Kong and Taiwan servers! And it's more than two versions ahead of the Chinese server!!

…………

Lin Xingzhuo then said, "It has nothing to do with age, but with life experience. Men generally go through certain stages in love, and after that, they no longer have love."

Peng Haoxiang handed Lin Xingzhuo another green Hao Cai cigarette and said, "No love?"

Liang Qiyuan asked curiously, "It has nothing to do with age? It's about going through certain stages?"

Lin Xingzhuo, with a cigarette between his fingers, said, "As the saying goes, 'No gentleman is found under a crumbling wall, and no youth is found in love!'"

"This is some experience from Japan; they iterate their versions faster."

Liang Qiyuan and Peng Haoxiang listened attentively.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo took a drag of his cigarette and said, "First, it's pure idealism."

"I believe love is one-on-one. There are two people in the world who are like a screw and a nut, perfectly matched, born to meet each other."

"Then, when you meet someone you like, you feel inexplicably inferior and afraid, and you have a lot of inner monologues."

"I'm always worried that the other person doesn't like me, but sometimes I feel like I'm ready and have a chance, which makes me very anxious."

Recalling her early days in the film "The Frog Prince" and how she had once pursued Rosamund Kwan, Leung Kai-yuen nodded in agreement, saying:

"Yes! This kind of anxious and insecure feeling is what it means to fall in love!"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Nonsense! This kind of mentality usually makes you a clown!!!"

"Extremely distressed, unable to obtain the love, the person was plunged into even more intense emotions."

"Watching romantic movies and TV dramas and listening to sad love songs makes me feel very empathetic, as if these authors are my soulmates."

Liang Qiyuan then recalled how Guan Zhilin had publicly rejected him with the crew's walkie-talkie, and the series of things he had done after his death. His face flushed red, and he fell silent.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo continued, "After many clown experiences, I persevered and finally succeeded once, licking the goddess!"

"I feel like I can quit the game of choosing a partner for the rest of my life. As long as I have her, that's enough. I won't have to suffer in relationships anymore. I'm willing to give everything to be good to her!"

Peng Haoxiang, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, had long heard that this mainland actor was good at film theory, and now this kid had finally revealed his secrets.

He started taking notes with a pen and paper, then pressed, "And then?"

Lin Xingzhuo exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Soon, reason will realize that I've become a clown again, but the hormones in my body will keep deceiving me."

"Even when the other party occasionally gives me a nice look, I feel like I might be overthinking things, and I feel a kind of pain of not being respected."

"Finally, it's confirmed: he was just using you as a fish to keep, a promiscuous man while looking for something better! He never posts photos of you two together, and still claims to be single to outsiders!!"

"Outraged and humiliated! Love turned to hate!"

"After going through an extremely agonizing emotional journey, I realized that there are things in the world of love that are more painful than unrequited love!"

"I thought that even if we reached an agreement, it would be better than not reaching one at all, but now I realize how naive I was!"

"The damage from successfully negotiating will far outweigh the damage from failing to negotiate! The emotional energy, time, and money lost are incalculable!!"

Peng Haoxiang was taking notes at his desk, while Liang Qiyuan was deep in thought.

Lin Xingzhuo, this top-tier voice-type succubus, possesses a relaxed and natural voice, a steady breath, and conveys complex emotions through subtle rhythmic variations, continuing her output...
