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

Five days later.

At the Chinatown Theater in Hollywood, Lu Lin stood in the small square in front of the theater and muttered to himself, "This damn Chinatown Theater is so ugly it's like a dog. I'll buy it and blow it up myself sooner or later..."

Hearing his mutterings, Fan Dabing casually chimed in, "You seem to be TCL's global spokesperson and major shareholder, right? This China Theater is currently sponsored and operated by TCL, so seriously, you should have bought it long ago!"

Lu Lin paused for a moment, then grinned, revealing eight gleaming white teeth: "Then let's make arrangements. After the movie premiere tonight, I'll do a global live stream and blow it up."

Fan Dabing, stunned, raised his voice and exclaimed, "You're serious?!"

The China Theatre in front of us is a Hollywood landmark, built before World War II, and has a history of nearly a century.

The small square in front of the theater where the two are standing, and the surrounding streets, is the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is talked about by movie fans all over the world. Filmmakers from all over the world are proud to leave their golden handprints and signatures here.

Movie fans and tourists from all over the world even compare it to the Great Wall in China, saying that going to Hollywood without checking it out is like going to China without climbing the Great Wall.

You blow it up?

Stop messing around, okay?

Although the architecture of this China Theatre looks like a pile of excrement from ancient Chinese buildings mixed with a plate of sweet General Tso's chicken, so ugly that no Chinese person could stand it, you can't just blow it up...

"Of course we're serious! This disgusting piece of dog shit is shameless enough to dare use the title 'China Theatre.' Why keep it around if we don't blow it up?"

Lu Lin chuckled irritably.

Fan Dabing's lips twitched, but before she could say anything more, a handsome young man behind her handed her a cup of red Snow King beverage: "Sis, here's your pearl milk tea. I specifically asked the clerk to put only three-tenths of the sugar in it."

Fan Dabing reached out and took it: "Good girl~!"

The boy was none other than her younger brother. Due to their significant age difference, some gossips in China once speculated that they were not siblings but mother and son...

The key point is that Fan Dabing has already promoted his younger brother, who now plays a significant third male lead role in Lu Lin's new movie. Therefore, he made a special trip to Hollywood to attend the movie premiere.

"Brother-in-law, your pride isn't working."

While drinking his Xuewang beer, Brother Fan said to Lu Lin with a hint of resentment, "I already gave you your name and said I was your brother-in-law, but the clerk still charged me."

Lu Lin glared at him and scolded, "What brother-in-law? What brother-in-law? What nonsense are you spouting? How many times have I told you, you have to call me godfather! Otherwise, don't even think about getting a share of my family fortune!"

Brother Fan: "..."

Brother Fan was speechless for a moment, then hesitantly looked at Fan Dabing and asked, "Sister, there's a rumor circulating online that I'm your illegitimate child. Is it true?"

"Get lost!"

Fan Dabing kicked his younger brother away, then, embarrassed and annoyed, punched Lu Lin lightly: "You big freak, you're always spouting nonsense!"

Lu Lin dodged the fist and smiled at Brother Fan, asking, "Where's the black tea I ordered?"

Brother Fan rubbed his kicked backside with one hand and pointed behind him with the other, saying, "Little Ming and Big Baby are holding it."

Lu Lin and Fan Dabing followed his finger and saw Huang Xiaoming and Yang Baobei, wearing baseball caps and masks, squeezing out of the Xuewang store across the street.

After crossing the street, the two entered a quiet little square cordoned off with police tape and went straight to Lu Lin and his two companions.

Master Huang handed Lu Lin a cup of black tea, took off his mask, and said, "Brother Lu, your investment in Snow King has really made something of itself. Not only does it dominate the domestic market, but now it's opened stores in America, and they're doing just as well!"

Lu Lin thanked him and accepted the black tea: "This is the flagship store in America. Many Chinese tourists come here to join in the fun, which is why it's so popular. It's hard to say what will happen when it opens in other places."

Huang Xiaoming nodded in realization, but he still couldn't hide his envy.

At this moment, Yang Baobei hesitated before speaking up, "If I remember correctly, Brother Xiaoming, you left your golden handprint and signature here before, right? We're just killing time anyway, why don't you take us to see it?"

It's worth mentioning that in this parallel world, Yang Baobei hasn't yet managed to climb onto Huang Xiaoming's good side.

Of course, the main reason is that she doesn't need to climb the social ladder, because Lu Lin's company signed her years ago. With a big company as her backer, she didn't even have the experience of working as a young model in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, so naturally she didn't need to climb the social ladder by marrying Huang Xiaoming.

The reason the two of them appeared together today is because, like Brother Fan, they both played the lead role in Lu Lin's new movie and came to attend the premiere.

but……

Huang Xiaoming's taste in women is ridiculously bad. Even if Yang Baobei hadn't ruined him, Li Baobei would have.

They even caused him worse harm!

The kind of misery that can rival Baoqiang's!

Just like Huang Xiaoming at this moment, he exuded insecurity and completely lacked the aura of a domineering CEO. Faced with Yang Baobei's words of admiration, he simply blushed and waved his hand awkwardly, saying, "That golden handprint and signature I left are really not real. It was just something I did because I was too arrogant and wanted a lot of fame, so I spent money to put on a show... Come on, let's go into the theater and change into our dresses. The staff is going to lay out the red carpet..."

He was nothing like the confident and domineering CEO that the public had in mind. In fact, as a celebrity, he seemed timid and afraid of being recognized. Seeing that the Chinese staff who were setting up the premiere were looking at them, he urged Lu Lin and the others to hurry up and enter the theater.

After entering the theater, the group easily made their way to the backstage lounge, where the bodyguards and assistants, who had been waiting anxiously, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the group return from their stroll.

The sun outside was already turning red, and there wasn't much time left before the premiere opened in the evening. Some people were changing clothes, while others were putting on makeup.

After everything was ready, they exited the theater through the back door, got into a van, and drove around to the front street to prepare to walk the red carpet into the venue.

"Hmm, does the Dolby Theatre also host film premieres?"

After the van circled around to the front street, Huang Xiaoming looked at the Dolby Theatre's main entrance, which was crowded with media reporters and movie fans, and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

The Dolby Theatre, the regular venue for the Oscars, is actually right next to the China Theatre, in an outrageously close proximity.

At this moment, with both theaters hosting film premieres, the media reporters and movie fans present were almost all mixed together, creating a chaotic scene resembling a vegetable market.

Fan Dabing explained quietly, "It's Martin Scorsese's new movie..."

Huang Xiaoming nodded in realization, but stopped abruptly halfway through, nearly twisting his neck, and exclaimed in surprise, "We're having a release date clash with Martin Scorsese's new movie???"

Upon hearing this, Brother Fan realized what was happening and, with a mournful expression, exclaimed, "Oh my God, I'm doomed!!!"

Yang Baobei couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes wide, she tugged at Lu Lin's sleeve and said, "Boss, Sister Bing was joking, right?"

Lu Lin: "Uh...hehe..."
