Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 259 I’m here to take you in!

Ding Ye, on the other end of the phone, remained calm as he said, "Damn it! The way people here handle things is completely different from how we do it back home. We can't communicate with them at all..."

Lin Xingzhu lit a 555 cigarette and said, "I've also heard a little about Taibei's situation."

“The local community is deeply influenced by Japanese culture, and it’s impossible to be friends with people like that on an equal footing.”

“You treat him like a human being, but he doesn’t see himself as one! He either sees himself as a god or a dog.”

"He thinks he's a god when he can beat someone! He thinks he's a dog when he can't beat someone!"

Ding Ye, on the other end of the phone, understood Lin Xingzhuo's meaning and asked, "Are you going to take drastic measures? We don't have any political resources here..."

Lin Xingzhuo said, "I'll send you a few lists of candidates for legislator and some dirt on them..."

Ding Ye said, "Isn't this too simplistic and crude? Doesn't it cross a political line?"

Lin Xingzhuo said disdainfully, "Taibei's political bottom line is that he has no bottom line!"

"The political ecology of a colony is such that a good beating will solve everything."

"Now is the best time to delve into the political and economic landscape of Taibei!!"

…………

Lin Hsing-chou had a good grasp of the scandals surrounding legislators during this period.

The main reason is that I watched "Black Gold" in my previous life and also reviewed the application submitted by Guangzhou TV for the rebroadcast of ATV's political satire drama "Treasure Island Dream".

When the TV series "Treasure Island Dream" was introduced to Guangdong Province, it achieved a legendary viewership rating of nearly 90%!

It is a bold political satire rarely seen in the history of Chinese-language television. Due to its sensitive subject matter and the controversy surrounding the lead actors, subsequent resources are scarce, with no ratings on Douban and no official source available.

Hong Kong and Taiwan film critics hailed it as "the pinnacle of Chinese-language political satire," but because it involves real people, it became "an irreplaceable product of its time."

Lin Xingzhuo consulted a large amount of material and cited papers from Japanese academic circles and European and American think tanks on the political ecology of black gold in Taibei!
This includes a lot of dirt on the millennium legislators!
This counts as Imperial Army certification!

Ultimately, despite Lin Xingzhuo writing a high-quality review report, the rebroadcast of the drama was still not approved.

........................

While Lin Xingzhuo was on the phone with Ding Ye, discussing Tai Bei's situation.

Director Peng Haoxiang also found a solution to the current predicament through a phone call.

He called a senior figure, a godfather-like figure in the Hong Kong entertainment circle who was most skilled at training and reshaping actors.

A big shot who discovered and trained top filmmakers such as Chen Long, Andy Lau, Tsui Hark, and Chow Sing during the golden age of Hong Kong films!

He was also the first benefactor Peng Haoxiang encountered when he entered the industry!
Wu Siyuan!!

…………

When Peng Haoxiang called, Wu Siyuan was at Huaxing Cinema, the first IMAX cinema in Beijing, helping the film crew with the movie's promotion. He was serving as the producer for the romance film "Night Rose," starring Zhong Hanliang and Ruby Lin, adapted from the novel of the same name by Pi Zi Cai.

Faced with the thorny issue that Peng Haoxiang was asking for advice on, Wu Siyuan offered a drastic solution! He suggested that Peng Haoxiang guide Lin Xingzhuo to use an experiential learning approach to filming, which might be effective!
…………

Expressionism is a style of art where artists create highly realistic depictions of heartbreak and tears based on their observations of real-life details.

The Method Artist style involves artists who, in order to create a painting depicting heartbreak and tears, actually experience a doomed relationship and are in a state of genuine heartbreak while creating the artwork.

The Methodist approach involves artists, in order to create a picture of someone heartbroken and crying, recalling the death of a loved one and using that state of heartbreak to complete their artwork.

…………

For a novice actor with poor acting skills, the huge and direct benefit of the method acting approach is that it provides a clear and easy-to-understand entry path.

"This is all true" is more specific, easier to understand, and easier to implement than "design a sad expression and look to the right".

Newcomers don't need to get bogged down in complicated techniques; they just need to focus on "If I were him, what would I do?"

This command is simple, straightforward, and easy to use...

…………

Of course, Peng Haoxiang then faced another problem: how to help Lin Xingzhuo quickly build a sense of conviction.

Only when you truly believe in the situation the character is in will your fear, joy, and sadness flow naturally from within.

At the same time, it naturally incorporates many life details not written in the script, making up for the lack of technical skill and making the performance more infectious and profound.

…………

After hanging up the phone.

Peng Haoxiang glanced at Lin Xingzhuo, who was on the phone in the rest area, pondered for a moment, and then asked the assistant director to call Yang Qianhua and Ajiao over.

"Director, you wanted to see me?"

Yang Qianhua, sporting a Hong Kong-style outfit—a loose long shirt paired with skinny jeans, and short, purplish-red hair with a brightly colored top—is the first to arrive.

"Director, what's up?"

Then, Ah Jiao also came over. She was wearing a loose white shirt paired with black stretch leggings, and her overall look was fresh and natural. Although it was a bit understated, her fair and smooth skin made up for it.

The two standing together, the ex-girlfriend and the current girlfriend, are like the red rose and the white rose, instantly immersing the viewer in the movie!

Peng Haoxiang nodded in satisfaction and glanced at Lin Xingzhuo, who was still on the phone.

Still want to chat? You idiot! I'm here to take you in!!!
