"The competition in Haolaiwu is actually very strong, because there are so many people with dreams of becoming stars, so there are many temptations in Haolaiwu. I once saw a girl packing herself into a package,
It was delivered directly to the producer's office, and then she jumped out of the package naked..." Scarlett sat opposite Lin Zhiming, vividly telling some stories about Haolaiwu to cheer up today's dinner.
"Then did you pack yourself up before?" Lin Zhiming asked with an ambiguous look.
"Of course I don't. I have fii secretly supporting me, so I don't have to do these things even if I'm new to the industry." Scarlett shook her head.
"Is it difficult for newcomers to stand out in Haolaiwu? Because there are so many excellent actors." Lin Zhiming said.
"It can't be said that if you have good acting skills or are very good-looking, you can actually get ahead more easily than others. For example, that guy DiCaprio, he is so handsome and has good acting skills, so he is the first
He was the leading actor in this movie. You may not know that when DiCaprio went to audition, all the women in the building ran to see him. When he was young, DiCaprio was known as the most popular actor in the world at that time.
Handsome man." Scarlett said.
"It turns out that Haolaiwu's appearance is justice!" Lin Zhiming said with emotion.
"Appearance is justice? What do you mean?" Scarlett asked doubtfully.
"If you are good-looking, then everything is right." Lin Zhiming explained.
"Oh...that's true. No matter where you go, good-looking people do have an advantage. But from this point of view, there are still some differences between Haolaiwu and your Dragon Country." Scarlett said.
"Is it different from Dragon Kingdom? What's the difference?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
"In our Haolaiwu, good-looking is one thing, but at the same time you must also have certain talents, such as acting, singing, etc. DiCaprio is very handsome, but his acting skills are also unquestionable.
He won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival in the third year after his debut. At the age of 40, he successfully won the Oscar for Best Actor. His talent and appearance are both of a very high level.
And we agree with this, but your Dragon Kingdom is not the same." Scarlett said.
"How do you say it?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I went to your Dragon Country to participate in a show two years ago. There were all handsome guys and beauties in it. But among these handsome guys and beauties, in terms of professional ability, they were not outstanding. Their acting was awkward because of supporting roles, and their singing was ugly.
It all depends on the sound engineer. In our country of stars and stripes, such people can only become third-tier stars at most, but in your country they are all first-tier stars. There was a person who impressed me very deeply during the recording of the show. That person was called Wu Zhuan. No matter how he sang,
He is very bad at acting, but just because he is handsome, he serves as a judge and mentor for many professional singers and actors on the show. This is very unbelievable to us, because only more professional people can evaluate professional people.
He didn’t know anything, so he relied on memorizing and re-recording the scenes in post-production, and then he looked very professional when he showed it on TV. I was shocked at the time!" Scarlett said.
"This..." Lin Zhiming scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't like foreigners saying anything bad about Long Guo, but what he said seemed to be perfectly fine.
"Actors can't act, singers can't sing. As long as you have a face, you can gain traffic and earn a lot of money. Your entertainment industry in Long Country has gone astray. Everyone's criteria for discovering new people is that appearance is justice, so it's like this
For many years, your Dragon Kingdom has not been able to produce good works or international stars. There is only a group of guys who are both male and female and are flirting with each other. Many big stars in Haolaiwu are now unwilling to take on projects invested by people from the Dragon Kingdom because they like it.
Putting some so-called popular celebrities who are good-looking but know nothing into the drama will lower the standard of the entire drama. Of course, you Dragon Kingdom has really many financial backers. Sometimes, in order to gain praise,
A traffic star who knows nothing can offer us several times our usual price just to let us serve as foils for their artists. Several people around me have been beaten by money." Scarlett laughed.
road.
"How can this situation be changed? Do you have any good suggestions? After all, you are considered a senior artist." Lin Zhiming asked.
"It can't be changed. It's a matter of aesthetics. In your country, good-looking people can indeed attract more people's attention and earn more money. Instead of spending money and time cultivating artists, it's better to just start a talent show
Looking for handsome guys and beautiful women is the most time-saving and cost-effective way. If you can't change the aesthetics of the bottom audience, then no matter what you do, it will be in vain." Scarlett said.
"That really can't be changed. Things like aesthetics won't change much in thirty or twenty years." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes, the current situation in your Dragon Kingdom entertainment industry is not necessarily bad. At least your monetization ability is much stronger than ours." Scarlett said.
"Stop talking about this, let's drink." Lin Zhiming picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Scarlett.
Scarlett just picked up the wine glass when the phone rang.
She looked at the number, then stood up and walked aside.
When Scarlett came back again, she had a frightened expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Emma just called me and there was a cleaner at her house," Scarlett said.
"Cleaner? What cleaner?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It's a cleaner who is responsible for cleaning people. Once the cleaner catches his eye, there is only a dead end!" Scarlett said.
"Oh?" Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is Emma?"
"The cleaner left. Before leaving, the cleaner told her that you saved her," Scarlett said.
"Nick is a good man." Lin Zhiming smiled.
"Maybe the boss wants to resolve Emma's obsession with you," Scarlett said.
"Maybe." Lin Zhiming shrugged noncommittally, and then said, "Come on, have a drink. I may leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I don't know when we will meet next time. You are the only one I have in the Stars and Stripes Kingdom recently.
My friend, we must drink more."
"Do you really consider me a friend?" Scarlett asked happily.
"Of course, and they are good friends!" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"Thank you, dear, I am very willing to be your good friend." Scarlett gave Lin Zhiming a wink, then picked up the wine glass and drank with Lin Zhiming.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The two drank two bottles of red wine.
Scarlett was already a little drunk, and her feet under the table rubbed against Lin Zhiming's feet from time to time.
It seemed like she already had some thoughts about Lin Zhiming.
Just then, a bearded man came over.
"Scarlett, I didn't expect to meet you here." The bearded man said warmly.
"Oh, Spear, why are you here?" Scarlett said in surprise.
"I'm inviting a friend to dinner, right there." The bearded man named Spear pointed to a table next to him.
There was a middle-aged man in a suit sitting at that table.
"Is it Donner?" Scarlett seemed to know the other person and asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Spear nodded.
"Then good luck to you, Spear!" Scarlett said.
"I hope so." Spear smiled, then nodded slightly to Lin Zhiming, turned and walked to the side.
"Your friend?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"He is Spear, the great director, don't you know?" Scarlett asked.
"I seem to have heard of it, but I don't remember it clearly." Lin Zhiming said.
"Spiel is our great director at Haolaiwu, at least a few years ago. He has won five Oscars for Best Director, and has also produced several movies with box office sales of more than 2 billion US dollars. He is a combination of commercial
A director who combines sex and artistry, but...hey, he has lost his voice in recent years." Scarlett sighed.
"Have you retired?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"That's not true. It's mainly because he is politically incorrect." Scarlett said.
"Political error?" Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there such a thing in Haolaiwu?"
"Of course, when it comes to this matter, it actually has something to do with your Dragon Kingdom." Scarlett said.
"What does it have to do with our Dragon Kingdom?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
"Spiel has been making movies for several years, and suddenly he wanted to make a documentary. He was very interested in the culture of the Dragon Country, so he went to the Dragon Country to shoot a documentary. This documentary reflected the Dragon Country very realistically.
"The Current Situation in the Country" aroused a strong response as soon as it was released, and Spears was boycotted after that. To be precise, Spears was banned by the higher authorities," Scarlett said.
"What's there to ban?" Lin Zhiming asked doubtfully.
"Because his documentary is real... I have been to the Dragon Kingdom, so I know what the situation is like in the Dragon Kingdom, but there are still many people in the Stars and Stripes Country who don't know the situation in the Dragon Kingdom. All their knowledge of the Dragon Kingdom comes from the official
Media reports, and these official media always like to report some not-so-good things about Dragon Kingdom, and even like to take certain things out of context to gain attention, so that many people still have a lot of prejudice against Dragon Kingdom.
.”
"After I came back from visiting Long Country, one of my actor friends even asked me if there was still forced labor in Long Country. I told my friend at that time that it was called labor reform in Long Country, and it was a system for prisoners.
A kind of punishment, but they don’t think so, because the concept instilled in them by our media is that the Dragon Kingdom government forced labor and exploited the people... The Dragon Kingdom these media showed us is not the same as the Dragon Kingdom Spear showed us.
It is completely different. In our case, it is politically correct to smear the Dragon Kingdom, and it is politically wrong to truly represent the Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, Spear was banned. The person sitting opposite Spear today is called Donner, and he is well-known in Haolaiwu.
Producer, I think Spear will definitely take action next," Scarlett said.
"Oh!" Lin Zhiming suddenly understood and looked at the man named Spear with great interest.
