Chinese entertainment industry in disarray? Hollywood goddess welcomes strict father!
Chapter 20: Martin Scorsese, a world-class film master!
Is this the comments section of your Twitter account?
After handing over his work to Kurosawa Zhiling, Fan Dabing sidled up to Lu Lin again, looking at the tablet in his hand, and said, "Last night's Oscar sweepstakes really boosted your global fame; the comments are in such a diverse range of languages!"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Envious?"
Fan Dabing pursed her red lips, took out her phone and opened her Twitter account: "Why would I envy you? My comment section is much more lively than yours."
Lu Lin turned his head to look, then froze, exclaiming in astonishment, "What the hell? Who is this blonde woman licking your feet?"
Fan Dabing grinned, revealing his silver teeth: "Sharon Stone, you forgot I fed her imported wine last night? That white sow is so picky, so I made her kneel down and lick my feet in public. Someone probably took a picture and posted it online!"
Lu Lin frowned: "Aren't you careful? Aren't you afraid of being attacked online... Never mind, never mind..."
He wanted to reprimand Fan Dabing, but he realized before he could finish speaking that Fan Dabing was known as the "Queen of Black and Red" and was least afraid of being criticized by the entire internet.
The fact that someone took a picture of her and posted it online is exactly what she wanted; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths in public.
In other words, although this woman is determined to climb to higher levels, she is probably still reluctant to give up the glamour of being a celebrity. Therefore, she manages to do both without neglecting either, and continues to be a controversial and popular star overseas by doing things casually when she has nothing to do.
As long as she generates buzz and popularity in Hollywood, even if she doesn't return to the Chinese entertainment industry for a hundred years, her status will only be higher when she goes back. It's just that China is too heavily influenced by Hollywood's cultural export, and people love to see their own stars make a name for themselves in Hollywood.
"Hmm, why are our Twitter comment sections different?"
Fan Dabing casually scrolled through his Twitter comment section, only to find that the comment section interface on his phone was different from the one on Lu Lin's tablet: "This isn't your Twitter comment section, is it?"
Lu Lin explained, "This is actually the comment section for the film 'Lost in the East' on the international version of Qianqian Films."
Fan Dabing immediately became interested and asked curiously, "How come there are so many Chinese comments? Are they Chinese movie fans who have bypassed the Great Firewall to support you?"
Lu Lin nodded first, then shook his head: "It's true that domestic movie fans came to support me, but they didn't use VPNs."
"Or rather, it means you don't need to use a VPN."
"Although there are no official download channels for the international version of Qianqian Video in China, as long as you know how to use a browser to search and download things, there are plenty of installation packages for the international version online. Moreover, after downloading and installing, you can use it directly, and domestic member accounts can also log in without needing any VPN software!"
Fan Dabing felt something was off, but after a moment's realization, her peach blossom eyes widened instantly: "Is this even allowed? Is it permitted to ignore the existence of the wall like this?"
Lu Lin said quietly, "Theoretically, it's still not allowed, so you can't download the international version through official channels. Moreover, only Qianqian Film and Qianqian Music International Version can do this, which is like the same window to the outside world as the coastal areas back then."
"After all, China has made progress in many aspects, but it is still suppressed in terms of culture and public opinion. Even if we set up 10,000 Confucius Institutes, it can't match the influence of a single movie. It's quite exhausting to think about."
"This strategically important position, which determines many things, cannot remain occupied by others forever. We must try to seize it. I am making this attempt in my personal capacity. If it doesn't work, we can simply close the window, which will save us a lot of trouble..."
Fan Dabing grew increasingly panicked as he listened. Before the man could finish speaking, he covered his ears with both hands and shouted, "You don't need to tell me these things! I'm just a greedy little star; I really have no right to know!"
Lu Lin grinned and laughed, "Haha, I was just kidding, you actually believed me?"
Fan Dabing lowered his hands, giving him a speechless glare: "Domestic fans gave you the nickname 'Lu the Great Demon,' and it's absolutely true. Can't you be serious for even three minutes?"
Lu Lin smiled, opened the storage cabinet beside him, took out a brick-shaped satellite-encrypted phone, and handed it to her, saying, "Change your phone, use this from now on."
Fan Dabing's relaxed expression immediately tensed up again. Holding the satellite-encrypted phone in both hands as if it were a bomb, he angrily said, "You're going to kill me!"
Lu Lin scolded, "That's unreasonable of you! Didn't you want to stay and be my assistant?"
Fan Dabing: "..."
Fan Dabing's anger turned into a mournful face, and his rather heroic eyebrows were pulled down into a downward-sloping shape.
It's a perfectly exquisite and beautiful character!
Chi-
The luxury RV came to a smooth stop while in motion.
Fan Dabing suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked out the car window, only to find that the convoy had entered downtown Los Santos.
Moreover, it's in the most bustling CBD business district, right in front of a building!
As Fan Dabing looked out of the car, men and women of various skin tones, dressed in suits or stylish and beautiful, were also curiously peering into the car through the windows.
There's no way around it, this convoy of luxury RVs and several U8s is just too eye-catching and makes people really curious about who this important person is!
[Ding, the Holy Skill "Hidden in the City" has been successfully activated. The Holy Lord can adjust the area of effect. Consumes 1 Holy Point...]
Before getting out of the car, Lu Lin activated a system skill and then called out to Fan Dabing, "Don't just stand there, come inside the company and take a look."
Fan Dabing suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly grabbed his satellite-encrypted phone, and followed him out of the car. The two secretaries, Zhiling, followed closely behind without needing to be greeted.
As the four people stepped out of the RV, the men and women who had been curiously watching outside immediately lost interest and continued on their own way.
The four entered the building surrounded by bodyguards and assistants, and then took the elevator directly to the top floor.
Kevin Feige was already waiting outside the elevator. Upon seeing him, Lu Lin asked, "Have you completed the onboarding process?"
Kevin Feige nodded and said in broken Chinese, "It's all taken care of. We've also signed contracts with Disney and Warner Bros. They will be co-producers of your new movie, ensuring a smooth, simultaneous global release on Friday."
He's incredibly efficient. It hasn't even been twelve hours since we parted ways last night, and he's already got everything sorted out, and he's even managed to learn a mediocre level of Chinese.
Lu Lin nodded and was about to walk towards the office area when Kevin Feige spoke up again: "However... I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Martin Scorsese's new film has suddenly changed its release date and will have its world premiere on Friday..."
Lu Lin raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Fan Dabing, and said, "You really do know how it happens. You just said they would trip me up, and it came true."
Fan Dabing asked Kevin Feige, "The 'Old Martin' you're talking about, is it the film master Martin Scorsese?"
Kevin Feige nodded helplessly: "It's him, a world-class top film master. The super blockbuster trend of the past decade has had almost no impact on him."
"In fact, he was the first to see that blockbuster series would destroy Hollywood's creativity, so he often publicly criticized them as meaningless theme parks."
"Time has proven him right!"
Fan Dabing grinned, her red lips parting slightly, and said to Lu Lin, "This film master is a tough nut to crack. Can your new film compete with him?"
Lu Lin said nonchalantly, "We'll see when the time comes. If we can't compete, we'll pull it off the screens early and go straight to streaming media to attract more users for Qianqian Films International Edition."
Fan Dabing: "You really are... can't you have a little confidence...?"
