Entertainment News: Follow Wang Baoqiang's Rise to Film Emperor

Upon entering the house and seeing this scene, and after hearing Wang Baoqiang's words, Lin Zhi couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Oh, what's the occasion? Why are you drinking... Did you find some money?"

He knew that Wang Baoqiang was always frugal and rarely spent money, so why was he suddenly buying roast duck, braised dishes, and treating him to drinks tonight?

And he even miraculously bought a mobile phone. Although it looked like a no-name domestic brand from a distance, it must have cost at least several hundred yuan. Given Wang Baoqiang's limited savings at the moment and his frugal spending habits, he shouldn't have gone to such extravagance to buy a mobile phone unless he had found a large sum of money.

So at this moment...

Why would he do such unexpected things?

Could it be... that he really found money and made a windfall?

"Haha, Lin Zhi, I got a role in a movie today, a minor one with over a dozen lines! You didn't expect that, did you..."

Holding her phone, Wang Baoqiang quickly dialed the number in Lin Zhi's pocket and burst into laughter.

He seemed extremely pleased with himself!

original……

Lately, Lin Zhidu has been focusing all his attention on his own work. Every day, besides studying, he thinks about how to submit scripts, attract investment, and build connections.

Therefore, they neglected to pay attention to Wang Baoqiang, who lived under the same roof.

and so……

No one knows what "state" Wang Baoqiang is in right now!

This all started last month...

original!

About a week after Lin Zhi accompanied Wang Baoqiang to visit the famous director Feng Xiaogang, Wang Baoqiang's injuries gradually healed, and she returned to work...

And because of his connection with Director Feng.

You've got connections at the top!

Wang Baoqiang is no longer the lowly extra who lived hand to mouth at the end of last year!

Although he hasn't quite soared to great heights yet, under Feng Xiaogang's special care, he's doing quite well and thriving.

At the very least!

Lately, he's been getting offers for extra roles every day that include lines and screen time.

This rapid rise to fame is almost a miracle for a young, grassroots actor with such good looks and natural talent.

Because of his honest appearance, lively personality, and ability to get along with people, he has gradually become one of the most sought-after featured actors in Beijing's film and television industry.

They're fairly well-known!

Now that he has such a great opportunity and such good fortune, and Wang Baoqiang is a clever person who knows how to seize opportunities, his acting career is naturally progressing rapidly and becoming more and more brilliant with his doubled efforts.

As her career took off and flourished almost visibly, Wang Baoqiang naturally made a considerable amount of money.

Besides sending some money home every month, he also naturally had to treat himself well, so today he bought the phone he had been eyeing for a long time.

I also bought Quanjude roast duck, which I've been craving for a long time, as well as some delicious Sichuan braised dishes. I plan to have a good meal with my friend Lin Zhi tonight to celebrate my recent "progress".

Lin Zhi, on the other hand, has been engrossed in his own work lately and has hardly asked about his roommate Wang Baoqiang's situation.

They had no idea that Wang Baoqiang was no longer the same person he was last year.

Using "take-off" to describe Wang Baoqiang today is not an exaggeration at all.

Compared to Wang Baoqiang, their situations have almost completely reversed. He has become the miserable Wang Baoqiang who had no roles to play last year, while Wang Baoqiang has become him whose career was about to take off last year!

The two are now practically equal in status and position, and Wang Baoqiang has quietly caught up with them...

Lin Zhi was so busy with his own affairs day and night that he was completely unaware of all this. Otherwise... with all the setbacks and frustrations he'd been experiencing lately, he might have lost his composure!

That's just human nature.

Seeing someone who was previously far inferior to you suddenly catch up with you, or even potentially surpass you... anyone would find it hard to contain themselves!

However, Lin Zhi was completely unaware of how Wang Baoqiang's performance was going, so his mindset remained unchanged.

Upon hearing Wang Baoqiang say that he had played a minor role today with so many lines, Lin Zhi immediately became happy for Wang Baoqiang: "You're lucky, kid! What kind of role is it?"

As she spoke, she changed into slippers and sat down next to Wang Baoqiang.

Without any hesitation, he reached out and tore off a large piece from the Quanjude roast duck on the coffee table, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew it heartily.

I must say... this Quanjude roast duck is really delicious!

The meat is tender and delicious, with an excellent texture.

"Come on, let's drink, let's drink, I've been waiting for you for ages..." Upon seeing this, Wang Baoqiang immediately opened the bottle of Red Star Erguotou and poured two full glasses for each of them with a smile.

In those days, young and middle-aged people who went out to work liked to drink baijiu (Chinese liquor) from disposable cups. So Wang Baoqiang filled two large disposable cups for the two of them, and the unique aroma of baijiu immediately filled the small room.

Lin Zhi frowned slightly upon seeing this.

However, he has been in a bad mood lately. He went out to discuss the script today but came up empty-handed. It can be said that he has been having a run of bad luck. So tonight, he really should drink to drown his sorrows!

Therefore, Lin Zhi, who doesn't usually drink much, saw that Wang Baoqiang poured so much for both of them right away, as if he wanted to have a drinking contest with him. Without saying a word, he picked up his glass and took a big gulp.

"Ha, don't drink so fast. Let's play a drinking game later and see who's the best. We'll eat the roast duck first..." Wang Baoqiang laughed when she saw Lin Zhi take a big gulp without saying a word. She chatted casually, "The film crew I went to today is called 'Palace of Desire.' There are so many beautiful actresses there... especially Chen Hong, tsk tsk, you didn't see her. If you did, I guarantee you'd drool..."

"Oh my god?" Lin Zhi said while eating roast duck, "It's quite beautiful."

"Who is Ah Se's mother? I mean Chen Hong..." Wang Baoqiang said, then reached out and grabbed a piece of roast duck, eating it heartily. Seeing that Lin Zhi didn't explain who "Ah Se's mother" was, he forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

Next, the two enjoyed the delicious roast duck from Quanjude while playing drinking games and drinking Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

When they were both a little tipsy, Wang Baoqiang seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped her forehead, blushed, and slurred, "Oh right, Lin Zhi, I almost forgot to tell you..."

"There's a private dinner with some big shots in the industry tomorrow, and Director Feng said he invited me to go and would introduce me to some connections..."

"I'll take you with me then, okay?"

"Haven't you been writing a script and submitting it everywhere lately? When you get around to it, take the script with you and show it to those big shots. Maybe someone will take a liking to it, invest in it, and let you make a movie!"

"Remember...don't forget! The dinner is at 3 PM, in Chaoyang District!"

"And... make sure you're neat and tidy up tomorrow, this is a rare opportunity... we have to seize it!"

Lin Zhi was also flushed from the alcohol; his handsome face was as red as Wang Baoqiang's. After hearing Wang Baoqiang's words, he frowned and began to think.

to be honest……

Before returning home, he had gradually begun to give up the idea of ​​promoting the script.

Because he had spent the entire day visiting so many major film and television studios and meeting with so many industry executives, but still couldn't sell Shi Tou's script, he had given up all hope of pursuing this path.

I think this is a dead end!

but……

Hearing Wang Baoqiang say that there was a chance to attend a private dinner with bigwigs in the industry tomorrow, should he... continue to try and promote the script of "Crazy Stone" one last time?

Lin Zhi hesitated, his brows furrowed, unable to make a decision.

After saying these words, Wang Baoqiang slumped onto the sofa, drunk, and soon began to snore softly…
