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

"You just mentioned that Qianqian Video International Edition only produces content with Chinese characteristics. Can I understand that it's a Chinese streaming platform?"

On stage, the host, Koko Bear, with a strange expression, asked Lu Lin a question.

Lu Lin shook his head: "Qianqian Films Chinese version is a Chinese streaming platform, but Qianqian Films International version is not. It is just a streaming platform with Chinese characteristics."

"Like the Americanized Chinese food that's everywhere in America, it has some Chinese characteristics, but it's not authentic Chinese food!"

The host, Koko Bear, nodded in realization and said quietly, "If it's not the China platform, why can Chinese netizens log in and use it?"

This series of questions is very skillful, deliberately targeting sensitive topics. If you don't answer well, it will involve internet information security issues, which is the most sensitive topic in the privacy-conscious Western world.

Lu Lin only answered the questions he wanted to answer: "Mainstream media in Europe and America always say that China's Internet is not open enough, and I feel the same way."

"Now that I've come out and seen the wonderful world of America, I also want Chinese netizens to come out and see the wonderful world outside, and we can communicate more."

"It's about the great unity of the people of the world!"

He spoke with such seriousness, but the host, Koko Bear, was twitching as he listened to the translation.

Even Kardashian and a large portion of the audience looked somewhat uneasy, as if Lu Lin was deliberately being sarcastic.

Yes!

Deliberate sarcasm!

If Lu Lin had said the so-called "glamorous world" a week ago, everyone present would have agreed and even felt proud.

My great America is indeed a dazzling world to the Third World!

But just a week later, Qianqian Films International Edition has already gained a certain degree of popularity on the overseas internet, and its user base is continuing to surge. Many European and American netizens who follow the latest trends are trying to use it.

In other words, many European and American netizens have already had some degree of seamless interaction with Chinese netizens on the international version of Qianqian Films.

The result of this exchange was that it produced an effect no less than, and perhaps even far greater than, the Little Red Potato Big Account Check in Lu Lin's previous life!

Chinese netizens' idealized view of the lighthouse has been shattered.

The pride that American netizens once took for granted has been shattered.

Those Chinese netizens, just like Lu Lin at this moment, are earnestly expressing their one-sided understanding and longing for America.

They've got these rumors from who-knows-where, making America sound like an alien civilization, which is incredibly disheartening for American netizens.

What's even more disheartening are the complaints from some Chinese netizens about the domestic environment in China.

Studying and going to school is too stressful.

Why do I have to pay money and wait in line to see a doctor at a hospital?

I work every day with hardly any rest, and I can't save much money. I want to go back to my hometown and relax.

Every complaint is like a knife, piercing the hearts of most American netizens, and even most overseas netizens.

You studied so hard, but you don't have to carry a student loan that you can't pay off in half your life. What more could you want?

You have to pay money and wait in line to see a doctor at the hospital. We don't dare to go to the hospital easily because if the treatment is beyond the scope of medical insurance, the medical bill will be astronomical.

Moreover, it's not just about queuing up. Many treatments require waiting for days or even weeks, and patients can only rely on painkillers to get through the time. Taking too many can easily lead to addiction, eventually turning them into drug addicts!

As for working every day with little rest, not being able to save much money, and wanting to go back to your hometown to relax, then you're even more like Versailles.

Because most of us at the bottom of society have to work several jobs every day just to barely make ends meet and save money.

If you don't have loan bills on your shoulders, you're considered part of the petit bourgeoisie!

Going back to your hometown and lying down, are you showing off that you own a house?

Or is it a house that doesn't require annual property tax and can be passed down indefinitely?

You damn shitty China bastard, aren't you afraid of getting struck by lightning for showing off like that?!

In short...

The glamorous world that Lu Lin spoke of was the glamorous world of the rich, like Lu Lin himself, a super-rich man, who could enjoy all the world's finest things in America.

For most Americans, Lu Lin's suggestion to let Chinese netizens come out and see the dazzling world is blatant irony.

Are you Chinese people here to see the dazzling world?

You'd be more likely to come out and laugh at America!

"cough……"

The host, Koko Bear, coughed awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "I suspect you're being sarcastic."

Lu Lin looked puzzled: "What sarcasm?"

Koko adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, staring intently into his eyes, and said, "Don't deny it, I see a smile in your eyes."

Lu Lin shook his head firmly: "No, what you're seeing is eye boogers... cough..."

Koko Bear was utterly speechless. "You're laughing, and you still say it's not sarcasm!"

Lu Lin: "..."

Lu Lin was both amused and exasperated: "You've just left me speechless. Let's move on to the next topic."

Koko Bear shook his head helplessly, probably genuinely breaking down. Even with Lu Lin's multi-million dollar check in his pocket, he no longer held back and asked, "Since Qianqian Films International Edition isn't a China platform, where is the user data stored?"

This is a direct confrontation, with no time for indirect approaches.

Lu Lin shrugged and said, "Hong Kong, the oil-producing region you all talk about with its beautiful scenery."

Koko Bear firmly shook his head and said, "What you need to know is that it is only when we need it to be a land of seed oil."

"When we don't need it, it's just a place in China."

"But at this moment, in my context, it is just a place in China, no different from any other place in China."

"Therefore, the fact that American internet users' information is stored somewhere in China constitutes an information security issue!"

Both Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen frowned deeply as they listened, and couldn't help but retort, "Hey, this is just sophistry and a smear campaign... Information security is a big joke, used to label all internet companies..."

Koko shrugged and said, "But you can't deny that all internet companies may have these issues."

"Especially an internet company based in China!"

Lu Lin continued, "Apple and Tesla are based in the United States, but their products are sold in China. Doesn't that pose a data security problem for the Chinese people?"

Kokoro: "Uh..."

Koko Bear was speechless.

He dared not accept that answer; if he did it wrong, Apple and Tesla's PR departments would ruin him!

Lu Lin almost laughed: "By the way, let me tell you an open secret: most Apple and Tesla products are made in China. If you're really concerned about information security, you'd better not use products from these two companies!"

Koko Bear: "..."
