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

The reactions of the three domestic celebrities were actually not the most exaggerated.

The truly desperate Scarlet Witch, Elizabeth, didn't react at all; she just stared blankly out the car window at the giant movie poster in front of the Dolby Theatre.

The two male leads in the picture are none other than Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio!

With these two global film superstars co-starring, plus the direction of the legendary film master Martin Scorsese, it's simply the ultimate combination of all the best!

"Relax, dear Elizabeth..."

Scarlett Johansson noticed her companion's unusual behavior and gently patted Elizabeth Olsen on the shoulder, comforting her, "You're five years younger than me, you'll have plenty of opportunities to transition to a different role!"

While these words were meant to be comforting, they were also quite discouraging and seemed to imply that it was easy for someone not in the situation to speak out, essentially acknowledging that Elizabeth Olsen's career transition had failed.

Both actresses were chosen to star in the Marvel series at a young age, playing Black Widow and Scarlet Witch respectively, and their images have been almost permanently stuck for ten years.

However, Scarlett Johansson's collaboration with Lu Lin in "Lost in the East" before the Lunar New Year broke the shackles of her image and won her the Oscar for Best Actress. From now on, she can fly high.

As for Elizabeth Olsen, she was expected to follow in Scarlett Johansson's footsteps, since she is also playing the lead female role in Lu Lin's new movie.

But now an unexpected situation has arisen, and she has run into such a super-powerful combination. If the film's box office is squeezed out and flops, no matter how well she performs in the film, how can she talk about successfully transforming her image?

"call……"

Olsen let out a long sigh and gave Scarlett Johansson a wry smile in return.

Scarlett Johansson continued to comfort him, saying, "No matter what, Lu just won the Oscar grand slam, and I just won the Oscar for Best Actress. We also have a cameo role in the film. The two of us teaming up again will definitely generate a lot of buzz."

"And what about me?" Olsen asked quietly.

Scarlett Johansson paused for a moment: "Uh...you...you're the female lead, right? If the movie generates buzz, then naturally you generate buzz too!"

Olsen sighed and said helplessly, "I think I'll just go back to Marvel and play Scarlet Witch. Disney is planning to develop a Scarlet Witch series for me anyway."

Black Widow: "..."

There's no way to comfort her anymore, she's just given up on herself!

Even Lu Lin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He couldn't help but chime in, "It's not as serious as you think. As long as we do a good job of promotion afterward, we might be able to win by differentiating ourselves."

"Do you know why my film with Scarlett Johansson, 'Lost in the East,' was successful in Europe and America?"

"It's not that the film's techniques are particularly good, nor that the plot is particularly moving; its winning formula lies in cultural differences—the unparalleled freshness of seeing the world with open eyes!"

"The same goes for our new movie. It can lead Western moviegoers to experience authentic Eastern charm, but no matter how much of a master filmmaker Martin Scorsese is, Western moviegoers won't find it particularly novel; they can watch it or not..."

His words were both unconventional and incisive.

The young woman nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes shining.

Huang Xiaoming, Hu Ge, Li Lin, and others also saw a renewed flame of hope in their eyes.

But before they could say anything, Lu Lin added, "At worst, we can't compete at the box office. We'll just pull it off the run and start streaming it on streaming platforms as soon as possible. Right now, Western moviegoers love watching Chinese films and TV shows on streaming platforms like Qianqian Films. The viewership will be just as high."

Olsen: "..."

Everyone: "..."

After saying all that, it turns out the one with the least confidence is you, the director and lead actor!

If you can achieve box office success in theaters, who would want to go on some streaming service?

Only mediocre movies would hope to gain attention through streaming media!

Looking at the changes in everyone's expressions, Lu Lin couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. In fact, he kept mentioning streaming media because he really didn't lack confidence.

Rather, he has confidence in streaming media, believing that the elimination of cinemas is inevitable, and that early planning is always beneficial.

In particular, he possesses naked-eye 3D holographic projection technology, a cyberpunk-esque light and shadow technology. As long as he launches a reasonably priced home product, cinemas and televisions will be swept into the dustbin of history, just like video arcades and DVD players in China in the past.

Movie fans can buy a home holographic projector to replace their TV and pair it with a huge library of movies from streaming media platforms to enjoy a cinema-like viewing experience at home. Who would still want to go to the cinema to watch movies?

Going to the movies involves more than just the cost of a ticket. You need to leave home early to avoid missing the showtime, pay for public transportation, and if you drive, you'll have to pay for parking. After the movie, you'll need to take public transportation or drive home...

If you calculate it all out, moviegoers have to spend at least twice the money to watch a movie, and the time cost is twice that of watching a movie. They may even waste most of their day watching a movie.

No matter how much the traditional film industry looks down on streaming media, ordinary moviegoers don't care. They'll vote with their wallets and their feet!

Ding ding—

As Lu Lin's thoughts wandered, a staff member from the China Theater knocked on the window of the luxury RV, indicating that he could walk on the red carpet to enter.

Lu Lin composed himself and, together with Black Widow and Olsen, stepped out of the luxury RV first. At the same time, he used his Holy Points to activate a skill that was essential in this kind of situation.

[Ding, the Holy Skill "Manifestation Before the People" is activated. The Holy Lord can adjust the area of ​​effect. Consumes 1 Holy Point...]

Among the system skills he had previously acquired, there were two skills with completely opposite effects: one was called "Hidden in the City," and the other was this "Showing Off in Public."

The name itself reveals its meaning: "living in seclusion in the city" means letting others automatically ignore him, while "showing off in public" means making people pay attention to him involuntarily.

Moreover, both skills allow for adjustment of the effect's coverage area, which is a rather overpowered feature, because Lu Lin can adjust the coverage area to encompass the entire world, not just the area within his line of sight, whenever he wants.

Take Lu Lin's [Public Display of Power] as an example. If the scope of its effect is adjusted to cover the entire world, then somewhere thousands of miles away, someone scrolling through their phone, if they see several trending news articles at the same time, will involuntarily click to watch any of them that contain news related to Lu Lin, even if they don't know Lu Lin.

Conversely, if the effect of "hiding in plain sight" extends to the whole world, then even if the internet around the world is flooded with news about him, no one will be interested in clicking to watch; their minds will automatically filter it out.

This is where the bug lies in these two skills!

So when Lu Lin drove his "Public Display of Power," holding hands with Scarlett Johansson and Olsen Olsen on the other, onto the red carpet in front of the China Theatre, media reporters and fans from the adjacent Dolby Theatre all rushed over to take pictures and watch.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who was walking the red carpet, was left hanging there, which was incredibly awkward...
