Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 44 Super Cool King

He was playing "Mario Kart DS" on NDS with his head down, operating Bowser's power-type racing car and rushing around.

Lin Xingzhuo has been obsessed with playing this game lately, and coupled with his glorious deeds of intimidating the executive director, suppressing the female lead, bullying the director, and forcing the male supporting actor to kneel...

Among the crew members, this super villain was vaguely nicknamed "Super Cool King".

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

After the filming was completed, executive director Cao Dun had a few words with producer Xu Xiaoou and director Teng Huatao.

Producer Xu Xiaoou said: "150,000...this price..."

Director Teng Huatao: "Let Xing Zhuo give it a try. If it's suitable, buying it for 150,000 is not a bad idea. It's much better than being ripped off for 300,000. Let's try it here and let everyone listen together."

In fact, Teng Huatao was also frightened by Lin Xingzhuo, the super cool overlord who ran rampant. Now he simply gave up the arbitrary power of the director-general and took the mass line to avoid being humiliated again.

…………

A toast to tomorrow and a toast to the past
The body that supports me has thickened my shoulders
Although I never believe in the so-called mountains are high and rivers are long,

Life is short, why dwell on it?
One to freedom and one to death
Forgive my ordinaryness and dispel the confusion

A toast to my hometown, a toast to the distant place
Sober people are the most ridiculous
…………

In the past life, after this song was first sung in the seventh episode of "The Coming One", the number of views exceeded 10 million within 24 hours, and exceeded 100 million within a week. The number of views on all platforms has exceeded 87 billion.

The song not only dominated the charts on music platforms, but also penetrated into film and television, variety shows, social networks and other scenes, becoming one of the most played representative works in the 15th anniversary review of QQ Music variety shows.

…………

Now Lin Xingzhuo released it in 2009, and the effect was equally explosive.

Unlike the previous vocal granularity which was particularly obvious, there is no unique "warm healing feeling", but the mid-range has become full and round, with the air of bookishness.

Lin Xingzhuo's voice is deep and soothing, with a sense of desolation, which deposits emotions into the song. The bass wraps the wanderer's nostalgia and confusion in a restrained voice.

In line with the depressing yet gritty plot of “Dwelling Narrowness,” the voices of the “drifters” are accurately portrayed in the melody…

…………

The entire crew fell silent.

In this song "Xiaochou", Lin Xingzhuo sings about the sorrow of widows, the confusion of households receiving the five guarantees, the loneliness of bachelors, and the regret of leftover women...

The grievance and despair of a married woman, the reluctance of a retired cadre to let go of his secretary, and Kasumi Ishikawa's infatuation with Ma Long...

The song brought sadness to Chongba, joy to Judy, and even pain that couldn't be relieved even with ibuprofen...

…………

The crew members, main actors and supporting actors were all shocked by Lin Xingzhuo's performance.

This guy could obviously make it in the music industry with his talent, but he chose to mess up the entertainment industry!

Director Teng Huatao said: "This song expresses helplessness in the face of reality, but also implies a persistence in ideals. This is highly consistent with the main theme of the protagonist in "Dwelling Narrowness" struggling to survive and upholding dignity under the pressure of housing prices."

Even editor Qiqi, who always disliked Lin Xingzhuo, couldn't help but say, "The lyrics are amazing. Eight Glasses of Wine depicts the confusion, loneliness, and perseverance experienced by urban youth during their wanderings..."

"The characters' cramped living conditions and the realities of workplace frustration resonate strongly with the metropolitan drifting narrative of 'Xiaochou'."

Producer Xu Xiaoou said: "Compared to the warm tone of Ding Wei's "I Want This Kind of Happiness."

"The bitterness and clarity of 'Xiaochou' better reflects the powerlessness and contradictions of the characters under the pressure of reality, and focuses on the complex state of mind of individuals in the urban torrent. It is more suitable as the theme song to convey the profound feeling of the entire play."

…………

After Lin Xingzhuo finished singing, he saw this situation...

A little boring.

You fell down before I even exerted any strength.

As expected, being an actor is still interesting...

150,000 yuan in copyright royalties, pocketed!!

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

Two weeks later, in Lin Xingzhuo's room at the Hyatt Regency Pentagon Plaza.

The leading actors of the "Home Sweet Home" crew, Li Xian, Zhang Jiayi, Hai Qing, and Wen Zhang, are sitting cross-legged on Lin Xingzhuo's big bed, playing the board game "German Heart Disease".

This is a box of board games that Lin Xingzhuo bought at the Fanghezi 365 German Board Game Julefang on Changning Road.

This is a quick reaction board game where players take turns flipping cards and rush to press the bell when the total number of a certain fruit on the table reaches 5.

The one who gets it right wins all the cards, the one who gets it wrong is penalized, and the one with the most cards at the end wins.

…………

Zhang Jiayi is already 39 years old and has long lost interest in this kind of children's game.

Wen Zhang wanted to eat spicy oil noodles, while Li Zhen wanted to go shopping at a luxury store. None of them were interested in this kind of board game.

But Lin Xingzhuo said that he had a conference call and asked them to play this to pass the time.

…………

When everyone is bored,

Haiqing once again showed the characteristics of the late Sheniu.

She first focused on high-frequency fruits such as strawberries and lemons, quickly accumulated the quantity, then disrupted the opponent's rhythm by quickly flipping the cards, and continuously flipped low-quantity cards to set a trap.

He won more than ten games in a row, and his hands were red from clapping.

Then, she began to taunt Zhang Jiayi: "Old comrade, your reaction time is so poor, is your health failing?"

As a man in his 40s who has married a new wife and is currently in a lawsuit with his ex-wife.

I hate to hear this the most!!
"What's wrong?! Who are you talking about? Come again!"

Under Haiqing's stimulation, the originally lazy Zhang Jiayi suddenly became stubborn.

Wen Zhang and Li Xian, who were originally slacking off, were soon dragged into the fight by Hai Qing and Zhang Jiayi.

…………

Originally, everyone was just killing time while waiting for Lin Xingzhuo to finish his conference call.

As a result, when there was no one around, she was like a mad dog, and when there were people around, she was Haiqing, crazier than a dog. Everyone became serious without realizing it.

The group had a great time.

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

At the same time, in the bathroom of the room, Lin Xingzhuo was sitting on the toilet performing his duties as director of public policy research.

Ding Ye said on the phone, "You said that this ridiculous story about these two little bears and a bald man chopping down trees, can generate tens of billions in net profits every year from cartoons, movies, and peripheral products?"

"This is equivalent to the net profit of a large-scale automated fully-mechanized mining face mine."

Click!

Lin Xingzhuo lit a Jiangshan Yitong cigarette and said, "This is just the appetizer! The policy subsidies that follow are the main course."

Ding Ye asked in disbelief: "There's also a main course?"

Lin Xingzhuo explained: "Next year, after the release of the 'Several Opinions on Promoting the Development of my country's Animation Industry', local governments will begin formulating detailed subsidy regulations..."

"Direct subsidies for animations in various regions can reach 1000 to 4000 yuan per minute, with double the reward for 3D animations. The cost of a low-cost 2D animation is 500 yuan per minute..."

Ding Ye immediately said, "I'll immediately gather the entire Ding Liang team, pack them all up and bring them here. I'll recruit more people tomorrow."

…………

In the next few years, animation subsidies will be the biggest source of income. You can make a lot of money by just shooting a few random movies with your eyes closed.

Domestic animation production surged from 4000 minutes to 126 million minutes, 99% of which were never actually broadcast.

Even the rubbish works such as "High-speed Rail Man", "Star Racer", "Transformers", "Chess King", "Morigen", "Window of the Soul", and "World Expo Mobilization".

The brief appearances during the midnight hours of local TV stations or online platforms are also intended to defraud screening subsidies of up to 500 million yuan in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

…………

Those who strike first will gain the upper hand; those who strike later will be controlled by others.

Tiger Film Star started producing the "Boonie Bears" animation a year in advance, but all the episodes were withheld and not released.

Wait until the policy is released next year and quickly grab a share of the policy funding pool in various places...

If Tiger Shadow Starlight eats one more bite, these empty shells of garbage will eat one less bite. It can be considered as volunteering to sweep up the garbage...

…………

Ding Ye sighed, "I didn't expect that something just for kids could be so profitable. It's equivalent to a massive mining operation! Damn, there's no hidden danger of safety accidents!"

"Brother, the province has been going crazy lately with collective responsibility for safety violations. An accident occurred at a mine, and the entire region has been shut down for rectification. Several restructuring entities are also finished."

"Rumors are circulating in the industry... if things keep going this way, we'll definitely end up with just the top seven national team players..."

"My sister-in-law has already said that if we want to survive, the only way is to eliminate human influence and fully develop a mechanized operation platform."

"That way, damn! I'll be working for those equipment manufacturers!"

"She's going to Hong Kong to talk to that female bank executive and meet the American woman she met at the Macau Casino..."

Lin Xingzhuo asked curiously, "American woman?"
