Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 243 The Seventh Young Master from the Bai Family Mansion!

Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, No. 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai District, Hong Kong.

Lin Xingzhuo followed behind Ding Ye and, with the introduction of Wang Xiuqiong, general manager of Jiahe Cinemas, exchanged a few pleasantries with Liang Feng, one of the co-founders of Jiahe.

Chen Long, Hong Jingbao, Xu Guanwen, and other core creators from the Golden Age also extended their greetings.

Chen Long was busy with "Little Big Soldier" and had to leave first, while Sammo Hung also had to catch a flight to continue the promotional tour for "Kung Fu Chef" in mainland China.

Xu Guanwen, who once pioneered the genre of urban comedy, has faded from the limelight and now spends his time chatting with Wang Xiuqiong, Liang Feng, and others.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo returned to the hotel's tea and snack area.

The coffee table is set with desserts such as egg tarts from Tai Cheong Bakery, smooth Malay cakes from Tim Ho Wan Bakery, white sugar cakes from Kun Kee Bakery, and red bean cakes from Kee Cheong Bakery.

Linlinzi took a piece of Malay cake and ate it while looking at Instagram posts on her phone.

This is an international collector introduced by Lin Xilei. Lin Xingzhuo plans to buy a rare signed Michael Jordan jersey from the collector.

Lin Xingzhuo bought this because his sister-in-law, Shen Mojun, told him about it last week.

She developed a deep friendship with a vocal student from the music academy who was sent abroad by the Korea Eunha Orchestra.

Next month, this student is going back to Korea to get married and wants to bring some gifts for her fiancé.

…………

Based on fragments of information gleaned from films and television dramas such as "Brothers and Sisters in the North," "Command 027," and "The Spy."

Lin Xingzhuo also has a habit of consulting academic materials when writing review reports.

A huge fan of Michael Jordan, who enjoys playing computer games and watching action movies, and listens to Backstreet Boys music.

The image of someone who is passionate about collecting unusual styles of glasses, such as leopard-print glasses, and fur coats...

The image easily formed in Lin Xingzhuo's mind and leaped onto the paper!

…………

All Lin Xingzhuo had to do next was follow suit, go on a shopping spree, and even go on dates and shopping trips with Asa.

I went to places like Mong Kok Sneaker Street, Causeway Bay Lee Gardens shopping district, Tsim Sha Tsui Canton Road, and large record stores like HMV to buy gifts for the Crown Prince.

The production team of "Love in a Puff" squandered the few million yuan they earned in consulting fees and theme song licensing fees in the blink of an eye.

…………

…………

Faced with Lin Xingzhuo's extravagant spending, his agent Zhang Youqian tried to dissuade him several times, but to no avail.

She finally saw it through.

They make money without restraint! They spend it all!

This young master looks like the seventh son of the Bai family mansion.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo was chatting with that big collector on Instagram.

The other party has a deluxe collector's edition of "Black & Blue" complete with a lyric book, interior photos, autographed cards, and special packaging, and is interested in shipping it.

Lin Xingzhuo planned to buy them together and have the member of the Korean Eunha Orchestra who had returned to Korea give them to her fiancé.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo's profile shows Xiao Ma and Zhang Youqian.

Little Horse was eating an egg tart and was too tired to sit still.

Yesterday, he had dinner and drank heavily with Master Zhou, and he was still feeling dizzy and disoriented. Zhang Youqian looked at the latest follower counts on Lin Xingzhuo's Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as the data from his newly registered Instagram account.

"Both accounts have surpassed 100,000 followers! I never imagined Twins had such a huge influence in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia!"

"His Instagram followers have also exceeded 10,000!"

"Huh? Brother Zhuo! The local section of Twitter's comprehensive trending topics page is all about the gossip from the 'Love in a Puff' movie crew!"

Zhang Youqian handed her phone to Lin Xingzhuo, who was chatting with a collector and preparing to make an offer.

Lin Xingzhuo looked at the Twitter page that Zhang Youqian had brought over and said:
"Gold Typhoon withdrawing its investment?"

"Lead actor Yu Wenle has withdrawn, and second male lead Huang Debin is also leaving the show? Is the 'Love in a Puff' production team paralyzed?"
Zhang Youqian said, "That's not all! Look, it also says below that the second female lead, Lu Shiyun, and the third female lead, Gu Zulin, have also left the production!"

"The female lead, Yang Qianhua, has not yet responded, but she may also withdraw from the production..."

Lin Xingzhu, while eating white sugar cake, said, "So, the entire film crew just exploded on the spot?"

Zhang Youqian nodded and said, "It seems we can't continue filming. We can officially enter the venue now."

"We held several seminars on film and television creation and concluded that this kind of low-budget art film trial is a necessary attempt for us to enter the film market."

Lin Xingzhuo didn't say much, but replied to an Instagram message and bought the Backstreet Boys' "Black & Blue" cassette.

………………

Compared to the big-budget production, big stars, and long production cycle of "Women Who Flirt Are the Luckiest".

"Love in a Puff" is a typical Hong Kong production style, and it is also the short, fast-paced style that director Pang Ho-cheung is best at.

In its previous life, this production team set a benchmark for Hong Kong sketch films with an investment of HK$800 million and an incredibly efficient 15-day shooting schedule!
This is an excellent opportunity that will not put too much financial pressure on Tiger Film Star, while allowing the company to accumulate experience in film production!

…………

Under the supervision of Lin Xingzhuo, senior policy advisor of Jinyuan Huwei Coal Industry Company and policy director of Huxiao Qilin Cinema Circuit.

The Legal and Contracts Department has completed the contract processing for Tiger Roaring Kirin Cinemas.

It just so happened that the cooperation agreement between the producers of "Love in a Puff" and Zhengzai Film Production Co., Ltd. and Huying Xinghui Culture Media Co., Ltd. was completed.

"Love in a Puff" was originally a local production with a strong Hong Kong flavor, but it became a co-production between the two companies.

This is Tiger Shadow Star Entertainment's third co-production after "Dwelling Narrowness" and "Beauty's Rival in Palace"! And their first feature film!

…………

The injection of new funds allowed the "Love in a Puff" production team to start all over again.

Lin Xingzhuo once again demonstrated his decades of experience in film censorship, stating at the script discussion that Peng Haoxiang and Liang Qiyuan's collaboration was irrefutable.

In its previous life, the story of this film originated from director Peng Haoxiang's imagination after seeing a girl smoking outdoors in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The script was only completed a few weeks before filming began.

This creative approach makes the film's style stand out, but the plot is somewhat loose and the main storyline lacks strong momentum.

Lin Xingzhuo then proposed targeted remedial measures, such as strengthening the core conflict, optimizing the narrative rhythm, enriching the script with the characters' backstory and inner world, and increasing the characters' emotional depth.

In truth, Lin Xingzhuo wasn't very confident about these suggestions for revising the script and content.
It wasn't until "Love in a Puff" was released that Lin Xingzhuo saw that the Douban rating reached 8.1.

It's a full 0.2 points higher than the 7.9 points in my previous life!

That's when I realized I'd made the right decision to change course!
………………

The new creative team behind "Love in a Puff" is extremely busy starting from scratch.

Lin Xingzhuo left the film crew in a Lexus driven by Xiao Ma...
