Compared with Chinese entertainment stars, the gold content of Hollywood movie stars is definitely more than one level higher. Just talking about the Kung Fu superstars who dominate Asia, even the Kung Fu superstars who triggered the Chinese Kung Fu craze around the world have only made three movies with good box office.
The movie is considered good only among foreign movie stars. Looking at the Hollywood box office, it is average and below average. And as a Hollywood first-line actor, it is definitely not a success if it only achieves this kind of box office.
I don’t mean to underestimate Asian movie stars. It’s just that Hollywood’s star-making ability is world-class. Even Hong Kong, known as the Hollywood of the East, only became popular globally in the 1980s. Regardless of whether it is viewed over a long period of time or in terms of overall strength, Hollywood
Junyi takes the lead and makes the whole world look up to him.
Why are famous actors and Asian directors no matter how hard they go to Hollywood, or even blindly cater to Hollywood’s tastes when making films?
It’s nothing more than hoping to be recognized by Hollywood and thus recognized by the world.
It can be said that the international reputation of one of Asia's top movie stars is not as good as that of a second-tier actor in Hollywood. This is a helpless and embarrassing situation, and it is also an indisputable fact. Therefore, for a person like Xu Ying who only filmed one film, it is considered a shame in Asia.
For newcomers to the big screen who are only considered second-tier productions in big productions and Hollywood, participating in this Hollywood event is a rare opportunity. Not to mention having a high self-esteem and pretending to be pretentious, even if you bend down to interact with people, it is not too much. Xu
Ying Ye is by no means the kind of newcomer who gets ahead of herself even if she has some achievements. Years of hard work in the film and television industry have cultivated her peaceful mind. She knows that actors cannot become popular just by relying on one work, and must constantly improve their acting skills.
Careful selection of excellent scripts and a strong behind-the-scenes team can lead to steady progress step by step. Especially for a newcomer like her who became famous in Hollywood through the investment of a movie called "Qing Family". She should know how to be humble and low-key.
In fact, Xu Ying's attitude had been low enough even before she attended the banquet. Even though she had only entered the banquet for half an hour, three investors had already invited her, hoping to show her face in the international film industry.
, there are female movie stars in the huge Chinese and even Asian markets who can participate in the movie they are preparing. Maybe the role is not the leading female role, and the role is not very important. But for Xu Ying, who has only made one movie, it is already.
A good start from a Chinese movie star to an international movie star. After all, how many popular Asian movie stars feel extremely honored and excited even if they only have a small role in a Hollywood movie?
Xu Ying's life was so good that even she felt that God had favored her too much.
The Qingyu family is rich. There is money in Baicheng. Looking at China, even if the wealth is not so obvious, he is still a prominent young man. But in the center of the power whirlpool like Hollywood, where major investors and film company bosses gather, the Qing family seems a bit...
The little witch saw the big witch. Her ability to attend this dinner showed traces of the Qing family's behind-the-scenes operations, but the bigger reason was the commercial value behind her. As well as her influence in the international film world that was not obvious but gradually formed.
Not to mention that Qingyu was not very good at speaking in a place where rich people gathered. Even if she could cover up the sky with one hand, Xu Ying was by no means a troublemaker. Not to mention jealousy and intrigue with Hollywood actresses.
But there is a famous saying in China: three women, one drama. Xu Ying's good luck attracted the jealousy of several actresses who followed the investor boss to participate in the feast. Especially the step where the role of the third female lead, who was said to have invested 100 million US dollars, was confirmed.
Xu Ying makes those actresses who have appeared in a few movies but basically have no sense of presence angry.
Why give such a role that may quickly increase popularity to an Asian woman?
Isn’t it just a small-investment movie that made 30 million box office in North America and attracted the attention of many film critics?
Ruth, who had been coveting this role for several months, was so angry that the lump of flesh on her chest could not help but rise and fall violently with her rapid breathing. A pair of blue eyes stared at Xu Ying opposite her from beginning to end,
He said in a strange tone: "Miss Xu, I heard that your boyfriend is the son of a wealthy Chinese businessman?"
Ruth has filmed several Hollywood movies and also played the role of a butcher in a high-grossing movie. She is not famous, but many people who cannot name her have searched for this suicide bomber. She is considered a fool.
She looked familiar. In addition, the film producer she relied on had already decided to let her play this role that was very likely to rise in popularity. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. The director suddenly cast her
She was cancelled, and was replaced by this Asian actress who had made a name for herself with a movie with a small investment. She resented the filmmaker who patted his chest and promised to help her get the role. She could not offend the producer because she could rely on selling meat to build relationships.
He transferred all his anger to Xu Ying. Not only was his words thorny, but he also tried to embarrass her and make her unable to get off the stage. It can be said that he hit the nail on the head and showed no mercy.
Xu Ying was tolerant enough to deal with this unkind woman. No matter whether she was verbally mocking or cleverly attacking her personally, she just laughed it off and did not respond directly. She adhered to the principle of dealing with more things than less things. She was very gentle.
.But this Ruth was very aggressive, especially when she gradually started to attack Qingyu. Xu Ying could not help but feel quite angry. A trace of unnaturalness flashed across her gentle cheeks, and she smiled and said: "His family environment is quite generous.
.”
"Really generous?" Ruth said heartily. "I heard that your boyfriend invested 20 million US dollars in order to flatter you. Not only did he create publicity around the world, he also bribed the director and producer to carefully prepare this movie for you.
It’s a small movie. It’s a lot of hard work, money and effort.”
She picked up the red wine glass and took a sip, then licked her seductive red lips with her scarlet tongue. Then she said: "Miss Xu, can you give me some advice on how to capture their hearts? On the bed.
Are you trying too hard to please?"
Even though the United States is famous for its bold style, speaking like Ruth not only made Xu Ying very unhappy, but also the actress at the table was quite embarrassed. It was very embarrassing. However, most of the people at this table were related people, Xu Ying
As a newcomer, naturally I can’t
It was reasonable for her to sit at the same table with those popular ladies, and it was reasonable for her to be arranged here by the organizer. However, by coincidence, she was placed in an extremely dangerous situation. Although those people with connections felt that Ruth was hurtful by her words, they were also gloating in their hearts.
Watch Xu Ying make a fool of herself.
Ruth's behavior made Xu Ying, who had a strong self-esteem, unhappy, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time slowly started to burn. She said noncommittally: "Miss Ruth, we Chinese people often talk about what kind of world we see in people's eyes.
.I am covered in dirt, so naturally there is no clean place in this world.”
She said this quite cleverly, but she also countered Ruth's personal attack head-on.
Lu Sifu heard the thorn in Xu Ying's words, and her attitude became more domineering and arrogant: "What? I stepped on it and hurt your foot? It's strange to say that your boyfriend is really a fool. He actually spent so much money to take pictures of a newcomer like you."
Movie. Is he full of shit? If he wasn’t lucky, wouldn’t he be bankrupt and have to sell his butt to pay off his debts?”
From attacking Ruth to viciously slandering Qingyu. Ruth's bad moments angered Xu Ying.
I saw this woman who had been silent for a long time suddenly picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of red wine on Ruth's beautiful face with delicate make-up, and said in a deep voice: "Your mouth stinks so much. You should wash it off!"
"You--you dare to splash me?"
Like a wild cat whose tail was stepped on, Ruth immediately jumped up from the chair. She opened her teeth and yelled at Xu Ying: "You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
After she said that, she actually picked up a knife and fork and rushed towards Xu Ying, intending to scratch the face of this elegantly made-up woman. Her intentions were not unscrupulous.
Xu Ying often does fitness exercises on weekdays, so her physical fitness is not comparable to that of a woman who has been going to bars and drinking alcohol all the time?
Grabbing her wrist, Xu Ying tried to push her back with a little force. But just as she was about to push, her shoulder was pressed hard. A cold voice came from her ears: "Miss Xu, here.
It’s America. It’s Hollywood. It’s not China.”
Snap!
He slapped Xu Ying on the back and actually pushed her to the edge of the round table. Several glasses of exciting drinks immediately splashed on her face and her light-colored evening dress, making her miserable.
Xu Ying encouraged her to support the round table with her arms before she could stand firm. She turned around in shock and saw the middle-aged man who came with Ruth with a cold look on his face, and a pair of turbid eyes that were drunk and had a malicious look in them.
She seemed extremely angry at Xu Ying for humiliating her lover.
When Ruth saw her boyfriend arriving in time, she was also very angry and pretended to be weak. She asked her boyfriend to stand up for her and severely humiliated this Asian woman who knew nothing about heaven and earth. It would be great if she could snatch the role away.
.
The middle-aged man in a suit who was actually an orc with a human face gently comforted Ruth and said, "Don't worry. Even if you can't participate in this movie again, I won't let her succeed. With this little face,
I still have it."
After that, he strode towards Xu Ying, who was unfamiliar with the place and had no one to help him except a company assistant far away in the background. He said coldly: "Miss Xu, if you don't apologize to Ruth, I will let you know.
Before an actor learns to make movies, he must first learn to be a human being. Otherwise - you will die in an ugly way!"
