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

Later...

As dusk settles in.

In a good mood, Lin Zhi followed Wang Jinghua and her family of three to a high-end Chinese restaurant in Chaoyang District. After they sat down, they ordered a large table full of exquisite dishes, ready to show off their meal...

Before they even started eating, Chen Daomin, a top-tier star who was also signed with the same company, rushed over upon hearing the news.

At this point in 1999, Chen Daomin was already one of the top male stars in the domestic TV drama circle, and his salary was among the highest.

There are very few people who are more famous and have a higher status than him.

and so……

Chen Daomin is a bit arrogant and aloof.

In other words, being exceptional!

"Taomin~"

"Let me introduce you. This is a new artist our company just signed today, his name is Lin Zhi..."

"I've seen his work; he acts very well and has great potential."

"You should take him out more often in the future..."

After Chen Daomin arrived, Wang Jinghua immediately introduced Lin Zhi, who was standing next to her, to him with a smile.

"Teacher Chen, please take good care of me in the future."

Lin Zhi immediately seized the opportunity and stood up to respectfully offer Chen Daomin a glass of red wine.

Saying things to curry favor and build rapport.

"Okay, you're too kind." Chen Daomin responded indifferently, and then ignored Lin Zhi.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi wisely stopped trying to curry favor with him.

After sitting back down, I quietly started eating.

He was never one to scheme or flatter others; if his efforts didn't yield positive feedback, he would immediately back down and become conservative.

Although he and Chen Daomin were later signed stars by the same company and belonged to the same camp.

But in reality, any celebrity of the same gender, regardless of whether they are from the same company, will be in competition with each other and can be considered future rivals.

Therefore, it is normal for Chen Daoming to ignore him, or even treat him coldly and reject him.

therefore!

He won't blame anyone.

They would not hate or despise Chen Daomin.

This is just human nature!

Lin Zhi had already seen through it all.

It's nothing serious.

Just live your life well and do your job well.

If the other party is willing to help you, then help them; if they're not, it doesn't matter, it won't affect the overall situation at all...

It has nothing to do with your life!

and so!

Lin Zhi then sat there alone, eating and drinking quietly.

Occasionally, he would chat with Dong Zijian, the boy next to him, and tease the adorable child.

As for the casual conversation between Wang Jinghua and his wife and Chen Daomin, Lin Zhi simply listened quietly.

Never interrupt them or disrupt their conversation.

He wasn't a talkative person to begin with.

I was already quite content just to sit there and listen to them chat about industry gossip and news.

In a short while.

The meal then ended.

"Kobayashi, where do you live?"

Wang Jinghua waved to the waiter, paid the bill, and then turned to Lin Zhi to ask.

"I live near the Beijing Film Studio, Sister Hua," Lin Zhi replied.

Wang Jinghua said, "That's exactly the opposite direction from us... How about this, Daomin, since it's on your way back, you can give Xiaolin a ride."

Chen Daomin was getting up when he heard this and nodded indifferently.

Lin Zhi quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, I'll just take a taxi back."

He didn't want to trouble Chen Daomin by taking his car back.

and……

If the two of them don't talk to each other on the way back, the atmosphere will be very awkward.

He hates being embarrassed the most.

"Xiaolin~"

"Daomin is a man who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Don't be afraid to trouble him; just let him take you back."

"It's on the way anyway."

Wang Jinghua said with a smile.

"Really, no need... I'll just take a taxi." Lin Zhi touched his nose and insisted on his opinion.

Chen Daomin looked at Lin Zhi and said, "If you're staying near the Beijing Film Studio, take my car. You won't have to go through any detours."

"Shall we go?"

Lin Zhi saw that Chen Daomin had spoken to him personally, and seemed very sincere.

He couldn't refuse again, lest he offend the other party and appear ungrateful!

He then said, "Alright, thank you for your trouble, Teacher Chen."

Chen Daomin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

then.

After the group left the Chinese restaurant, Lin Zhi followed Chen Daomin and got into his car.

Chen Daomin was driving a white Mercedes-Benz.

It was cleaned exceptionally well, and the car interior was filled with a strong perfume scent.

Lin Zhi sat in the back seat of the car and remained silent the entire way.

Chen Daomin was clearly a man of few words, and the two remained in an awkward silence.

The car drove slowly along the road. When it arrived at his home near the Beijing Film Studio, Lin Zhi thanked them and quickly got out of the car and ran home.

The next day.

Around noon.

Lin Zhi received a call from Wang Jinghua.

"Xiao Lin, come to the company, I'll take you to meet a film crew..."

"Remember to dress neatly."

Wang Jinghua gave these instructions over the phone.

"Yes, Sister Hua! Understood!"

Lin Zhixin said happily.

After hanging up the phone, he tidied himself up, got a handsome haircut, and changed into decent and stylish casual clothes. Then he quickly went out and downstairs, took a taxi, and rushed to Wang Jinghua's company.

Upon arriving at the company, before they could even sit down, Wang Jinghua hurriedly took Lin Zhi to a film crew preparation office in an office building on the outskirts of Beijing to meet with the heads of the production company...

"This is a play by Master Yuan, so you need to know martial arts and be able to fight. You'd better be alert later."

"Show off your martial arts skills."

"Let's try our best to get this role."

"This is a large-scale period drama adapted from Gu Long's novel, 'The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword,' with an exceptionally luxurious cast."

"We absolutely can't miss this; this movie is guaranteed to be a hit..."

Throughout the journey, Wang Jinghua kept giving Lin Zhi detailed instructions while driving.

It's clear that she has a very high opinion of the role she auditioned for and takes it very seriously.

A play directed by Yuan Baye and Yuan Heping?

It was also adapted from Gu Long's "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword"?

Isn't that... the TV series "Little Li Flying Dagger" starring Jiao Enjun?

After hearing what Wang Jinghua had said on the way, Lin Zhi's thoughts shifted, and he suddenly became very interested in the play.

He really loved this big-budget TV series, "Little Li Flying Dagger," which was adapted from Gu Long's martial arts novel.

Moreover, after the show aired, it seemed to achieve a super high viewership rating of 35%, second only to "Princess Pearl 2", and it became a huge hit with its popularity remaining undiminished.

"Sister Hua, what role am I auditioning for?"

"Could it be some minor role?"

After a moment of mental wandering, Lin Zhi suddenly asked a question as they were nearing their destination.

Wang Jinghua smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

"If it were just a minor role, I wouldn't have needed to personally accompany you to meet the production crew!"

"I heard it's a major role, and they need a young and capable male actor. You'd better do your best!"

"This time, we can only succeed; failure is not an option..."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Zhi nodded vigorously.
