Chapter 294 The fear is comparison

"At least a week, it mainly depends on Brother Chen's progress."

Zheng Jing naturally understood that Lin Rui was referring to inviting overseas artists.

Today, Tianrui is casting a wide net across the sixteen states, with its targets almost exclusively the top stars in each state.

As for inviting celebrities?

This is not even on Zhou Rongze's radar right now.

Given Tianrui's current status in the entertainment industry, it wouldn't be difficult for them to invite one or two celebrities if they were truly willing to spend a lot of money.

Should the corresponding judging panel also invite celebrities to participate?

It was with this in mind that Zhou Rongze decisively abandoned the idea.

This time, Zheng Jing accompanied Lin Rui to Italy, and the private jet they traveled on was also provided by the Li Group.

Considering that Chen Bin had a mission and could not accompany him, Li Donglai specially assigned two security personnel to Lin Rui. Although their overall abilities might not be as good as Chen Bin's, they were more than enough to deal with emergencies.

It took nearly four hours for the chartered plane to arrive in Italy.

"Italian clothing has always been a trendsetter and a fashion benchmark. It is not only a fashion mecca, but also a blessed land for girls who aspire to stand out."

As soon as she got off the plane, Zheng Jing looked around and said, "Don't laugh at me, this is my first time in Italy."

"Italy's retro culture is quite good."

Lin Rui also looked around curiously, but the two security personnel that Li Donglai had assigned were completely different from how they behaved when he was on the plane.

He had previously appeared rather lazy, as if he hadn't woken up yet, but now his eyes were like an eagle's, and his aura of waiting for an opportunity was even more subtle and unseen.

"Compared to Washington State, Italy's retro style is a bit lacking."

Zheng Jing laughed and said, "It gives people the impression of being neither fish nor fowl, pretentious and too deliberate."

Frankly speaking, Lin Rui disagrees with one aspect of Zheng Jing's assessment.

Regardless of whether Italy's cultural atmosphere is truly decadent and extravagant, it certainly does a good job in terms of retro style.

However, the retro style of Italy is not the ancient style of China, but rather a style centered around ethnic minorities, which gives the city a unique exotic charm.

In Lin Rui's view, filming "Cat and Mouse Game" in this city would allow for a large-scale recreation of the original scenes.

"We've finally waited for you."

The person in charge of picking up Lin Rui at the airport was naturally director Zhang Qingsheng. Although Lin Rui had disguised himself, Zhang Qingsheng still recognized him at a glance in the dense crowd.

"Let's go, we'll talk on the way."

Zhang Qingsheng brought two burly men from the film crew and instructed them to help carry the luggage, while he led Lin Rui and Zheng Jing into a black minivan.

"Something's not right with the weather."

Zheng Jing felt fine when she got off the plane, but now she finally realized that the temperature was a bit off.

"You've come at the right time. The temperature has dropped sharply recently. Fortunately, we lack everything here except clothing. I'll have Xiaoyu help you pick out a few clothes when we have some free time."

Zhang Qingsheng pointed to the young girl sitting in the passenger seat.

Zheng Jing rolled her eyes: "I can't afford clothes from Italy."

"Look at what you're saying. Who doesn't know that you, Director Zheng, are wealthy?"

Zheng Jing didn't mind Zhang Qingsheng's teasing: "Xiao Rui, do you want to buy a few more clothes?"

"I brought a coat."

Lin Rui looked out the window at the slightly overcast sky: "Besides, the temperature isn't that cold."

Zheng Jing was speechless.

It's unclear when it started, but Lin Rui, who used to be sickly, seemed to have become lively and energetic overnight.
