Chinese entertainment industry in disarray? Hollywood goddess welcomes strict father!

"But...that's how it's always been done. A lot of negative press just gets blown away if the boss does a lot of interviews to deny it..."

Kurosawa Shirei argued rather defiantly.

That's not wrong, because Lu Lin's system has a skill called "Unparalleled Eloquence". Once that skill is activated, no matter what nonsense he talks about, the audience will inexplicably feel that it is believable.

In addition, he has 600 to 700 million general followers and hundreds of millions of loyal followers. Even if we exclude the general followers who are just casual fans, those hundreds of millions of die-hard fans can act as his advocates at any time and change public opinion around the world.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Kurosawa Shiling was able to do well in public relations was not because she had any brilliant skills, but simply because Lu Lin himself was a super numerical monster!

"Give Scarlett Johansson and Pepper Potts a call and tell them to do more interviews lately..."

Lu Lin waved his hand to stop Kurosawa Zhiling from arguing, and said, "It just so happens that last night, one of them won the Oscar for Best Actress and the other blew up Weinstein. Various media outlets and talk shows are willing to interview them for traffic."

Kurosawa Shirei reluctantly took out her work phone, searching for their contact information while asking, "So, do you want to reschedule your schedule?"

Lu Lin looked at Fan Dabing and asked with a smile, "Sister Bing, what are your thoughts?"

Fan Dabing met his smiling gaze and knew this was an impromptu interview question. She pursed her red lips and pondered for a while before saying, "I can participate in the talk show, but definitely not now."

"Let Scarlett Johansson and Chili Pepper talk about you in the media from an outsider's perspective. Also, let's have Mimi and Yaya promote Thelma & Louise around the world so they don't avoid your questions anymore. Let's talk about it when the media asks."

"Your new movie, 'Hero,' is premiering globally on Friday, right? By then, the discussions about you should have really gotten going. You can take advantage of the movie's promotion to participate in a talk show and respond then..."

Lu Lin interjected noncommittally, "I'm not asking about specific public relations plans; you can handle those details later. I'm asking about the itinerary for the next few days. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?"

Fan Dabing, deliberately interrupted, rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Don't interrupt, let me finish!"

Lu Lin lit a Great Wall cigarette and said leisurely, "Then you go ahead, I'm listening."

Fan Dabing had no choice but to push his improvisation skills to the limit, his mind racing as he said, "If you want to establish yourself in Hollywood, relying on those few suckers to protect you is far from enough."

"Even if you can revive the IPs they own, or help them develop new IPs to make money, it's best not to have any hope for them."

"As soon as they realize that you are relying on them to do things, they will definitely make people trip you up so that you can never leave them, and then exploit you to the bone."

"Hollywood is a den of wolves and tigers, a place where even Wall Street giants can suffer setbacks and fall flat on their faces!"

Clearly, in order to stay overseas and climb to a higher level with Lu Lin, she not only learned fluent English, but also did a lot of homework on Hollywood in private.

It's true that Hollywood caused Wall Street to stumble; financial tycoons invested heavily but were ripped off by Hollywood, leading to a legal battle between the two sides. Ultimately, however, they had no choice but to accept their fate.

Now they've finally learned their lesson. If they want to make money in Hollywood, they directly acquire film studios, starting from the source to avoid being scammed.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Lin invested his own money to develop the international version of Qianqian Films!

"So... ignore those suckers..."

"Your immediate priority is to build your own network of contacts. So attend more political and business exchange meetings or charity galas, and do your best to sponsor front men, including in the future. You can never sponsor too many."

"Anyway, everything here is legal, and you have plenty of money, plus you possess some kind of supernatural ability... cough..."

"In short, now that we've entered a capitalist territory, we'll play by the rules of capitalism. We'll raise plenty of white gloves, lackeys, and spokespeople. When the time comes, we'll be on our own and no one can help us."

Fan Dabing finished speaking his thoughts in one breath, then looked at Lu Lin expectantly and asked, "Doesn't this make sense?"

Lu Lin slowly exhaled a puff of his cigar and nodded in agreement, "That makes perfect sense. There's a Chinese woman named Ma Yun in California who's invited me to a charity gala in Beverly Hills. You can come with me tonight."

Fan Dabing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then reached out and gave him a light punch, her voice suddenly becoming rough and hoarse with excitement as she exclaimed, "Haha, so you'd been planning this all along!"

"But... who the hell is Jack Ma?"

"Are you talking about the California state treasurer named Ma Shiyun?"

"That Chinese woman is a real power and money-maker in California. It's said that even the Governor of California has to defer to her when it comes to spending money..."

"You're talking about her, right?"

Hearing her recount such a detailed account, Lu Lin was somewhat surprised: "You've done your homework really thoroughly; you even know about these official figures outside the circle?"

Fan Dabing shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about her. Two years ago, she led political and business leaders from California to visit China to discuss cooperation. You were also there as a representative of the Chinese business community, and our film crew even had to stop production for several days. That's why I remember her."

Lu Lin suddenly realized: "You have a good memory..."

Fan Dabing raised an eyebrow and smiled arrogantly, but then eagerly pressed on, "What other moves do you have up your sleeve? Tell me the truth, so I'll be prepared and it'll be easier to get things going!"

Lu Lin gestured with his chin to Hei Zezhiling, indicating that she should hand over her work to Fan Dabing, while he picked up his work tablet to continue handling his tasks.

Kurosawa Zhiling looked extremely unwilling. She knew that with this ambitious Fan Bingbing around, she was going to become a real nanny-style secretary.

But comparisons are odious, and she couldn't help but feel resentful. Fan Dabing's vision and abilities were clearly several levels above hers.

No matter how unwilling she was, she could only obey Lu Lin's orders and obediently hand over her work to Fan Dabing: "A few days ago, the boss went to Florida at the invitation of the Golden Retriever Princess and also participated in a closed-door exchange meeting between the political and business circles..."

Fan Dabing raised his hand to interrupt her, asking, "Who is the Golden-haired Princess? I heard Da Yan and Shu Ying mention her last night?"

Kurosawa Shirei raised her hands, opening and closing them as she said, "His eldest daughter."

Fan Dabing chuckled and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Kurosawa Shigeaki continued, "Furthermore, his eldest grandson has now joined his boss's Wall Street firm, earning a million dollars a year..."

Fan Dabing interrupted her again, saying, "Joining a Wall Street firm? What does his eldest grandson do?"

Kurosawa Shigeo shrugged and said quietly, "I'm not doing anything. I'm in high school, and my boss even wrote a recommendation letter for me to study at Alibaba Business School."

Fan Dabing: "Uh..."

Fan Dabing finally understood. Lu Lin had long been an expert at manipulating the revolving doors of politics and business in Europe and America, so he didn't need her to offer any advice!
