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

"The fact that 'Shanghai Bund' was shown normally in the country doesn't really mean anything..."

Seeing the barrage of comments from Chinese viewers, Lu Lin could only reply, "At least it doesn't mean I can return to the Chinese entertainment industry to continue my career."

"After all, even if I didn't engage in any underhanded dealings with actresses, even if the actresses threw themselves at me, the Chinese entertainment industry wouldn't allow it."

"But in Hollywood, nothing like that happens. No matter how many beautiful women are around me, at most I'll be called a womanizer, but I won't be accused of setting a bad example for young people!"

He had actually used this line in front of reporters last Sunday after the Oscars ceremony; it's a standard script.

But back then, these were all Hollywood media outlets, and their perspectives were different from those of domestic fan sites.

Those Hollywood media outlets, at most, would secretly criticize Lu Lin, treating Hollywood as a cesspool of filth.

Domestic netizens don't care whether Hollywood is a cesspool or not; they are just curious about which actresses actively throw themselves at Lu Lin.

"Scarlett Johansson is one of them. Before the premiere, she even used a monkey to steal peaches to test whether I would have a heart attack..."

Lu Lin pointed at Scarlett Johansson beside him, then at Elizabeth Olsen, and chuckled, "And Elizabeth is another one. When we were filming 'Shanghai Bund' in China, she kept asking me if I wanted to film any sex scenes. What a little slut!"

Black Widow: "..."

Olsen: "..."

The two men, having their secrets exposed, were somewhat embarrassed and angry, and each grabbed Lu Lin's waist from the left and right.

Lu Lin's lips twitched, and he turned his wrist to adjust the live stream camera downwards, exposing their little actions to millions of viewers: "Everyone says Western girls are open-minded, but these girls don't seem so open-minded. They get all worked up over the fact that they're after my good looks..."

……

Don't eat the pickled radish, those three are definitely having an affair!

[You don't need to confirm it at all; even a blind person could see it!]

My Black Widow, my Scarlet Witch, why do I like this China guy?

[Let me tell you why I asked that. First, because he's rich; second, because he's extremely rich; and third, because he's incredibly rich!]

Okay, I have to admit, the allure of wealth is immense, although his sex appeal and talent are equally captivating...

I want to know, just how rich is he? He actually managed to buy the China Theatre and blow it up?!

[Actually, we also want to know how much wealth Lu Da (Lu the Great) has. The rumors circulating online in China are too exaggerated.]

[There's no need to be low-key in Hollywood, right? Just flaunt your wealth and let everyone see!]

[That's right, now that everyone's left the Chinese entertainment industry, it's your responsibility, Lu Da Guichu, to lead us all to open our eyes to the world...]

……

……

Lu Lin's teasing of Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen successfully diverted the attention of his viewers. No one asked about the actresses' secrets anymore; instead, they started asking about his wealth.

Lu Lin, as always, was irreverent, immediately spouting Teacher Ma's famous quote: "I don't like money... money is just a number to me..."

"What I love to do is always creating... creating popular musical works, creating films and television shows that you can watch over and over again... creating makes me happy..."

"By the way, has everyone seen 'Shanghai Bund,' which just premiered tonight? What score would you give it...?"

This is obviously another attempt to divert attention; he has no interest in flaunting his wealth.

But Fan Dabing, standing off-camera, was gesturing to Lu Lin, silently mouthing, "Show off your wealth! Show off your wealth to the fullest!"

Lu Lin saw it and immediately realized that the United States has its own national conditions. Although flaunting wealth may arouse jealousy, it will likely gain more admiration.

In other words, flaunting wealth in China can easily lead to losing followers, but flaunting wealth in the United States can actually gain you followers!

"If you rate 'Shanghai Bund' out of ten, I'll show off a tiny bit of my wealth after you've given your scores."

Lu Lin changed the subject and said with a smile.

He was genuinely curious about the general public's opinion of "Shanghai Bund" and whether it would feel out of place to adapt it into a Chinese-language film.

Not only was he curious, but Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen, as well as Huang Xiaoming and others around them, were also very curious.

Although the media interaction session at the premiere garnered a lot of praise, everyone knew that it was just social niceties, and no media person would say anything to disrupt the event.

As for the general public's opinion, it will probably be late at night, or even tomorrow, before a comprehensive rating is available!

[10 points...]

【Of course it's 10 points!】

I have to give it a 10!

[10/10! No adjectives can express how much I love this movie!]

[This is my favorite movie of the last ten years... no... my entire life, bar none!]

Since foreigners are giving it a 10, I'll give it a 9.9, deducting 0.1 to prevent Lu Da from getting arrogant...

Is it really that exaggerated? How many paid trolls are actually in this live stream?

[Publicly advertised trolls? Go to the movie theater right now, you'll see how great it is!]

The Hollywood Reporter's review has been published, and it boils down to just one sentence... This isn't an epic film; it's a must-see bible for every man...

Wow, this review is ridiculous! Maybe I really need to check it out tomorrow!

……

……

Outside the live stream, Huang Xiaoming, Hu Ge, Li Lin, and others all gathered around Lu Lin to watch the barrage of rating comments.

After watching it, they excitedly chug champagne.

Steady!

It's really safe now!

It's not just professional film critics who love "Shanghai Bund"; general moviegoers adore it too, and it's poised to be a box office smash.

Everyone seemed to see the doors of Hollywood opening for them!

"Second brother, everyone's already scored, so why don't you just show off a tiny bit of your wealth?"

Li Lin suppressed her excitement and smiled as she addressed Lu Lin by their on-screen relationship, playfully encouraging him.

As soon as she said this, Huang Xiaoming and the others perked up their ears.

Even Chen Baoguo and Li Dabai couldn't maintain their old godfather and motherly demeanor anymore, and both looked at Lu Lin with great curiosity.

It's widely circulated on the Chinese internet that Lu Lin is a major shareholder in many companies, including leading enterprises such as Tencent, Alibaba, Douyin, BYD, and Xiaomi, covering the internet and physical manufacturing industries, not to mention real estate.

And companies like TCL, the company behind the China Theater that was blown up, are located at the very bottom of that list.

If the rumors are true, then Lu Lin's net worth is truly outrageous.

China's richest man?

Even the world's richest person?

"Well, let me show off a little. Marvel Entertainment and DC Entertainment over the past ten years were actually built by me with my own money."

Lu Lin didn't mention his assets in China, but instead used a secret that was slowly spreading in Hollywood and would eventually become widely known to evade the issue, saying, "I sold both of my companies two years ago. You can calculate how much money those two companies made for me..."

Everyone: "Huh???!!!"

He might as well be talking about his domestic assets.

His seemingly sloppy approach left all the main creators of "Shanghai Bund," except for Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen, completely dumbfounded.

If he really said he had trillions in assets, no one would be so dumbfounded, because they don't have a concrete concept or sense of reality about it.

But when it comes to Marvel Entertainment and DC Entertainment, as a celebrity in the entertainment industry, the feeling is just too strong...
