Chinese entertainment industry in disarray? Hollywood goddess welcomes strict father!
Chapter 6: Can't this mature and sophisticated woman stop acting cute?!
Lu Lin's current scandals in China were actually orchestrated by Fan Dabing, which is why he has not come forward to clarify. Otherwise, with his influence among nearly 700 million followers and hundreds of millions of loyal followers in China, a simple shake of the head would have instantly reversed public opinion.
However, if he were still a pure Chinese superstar, Hollywood and even the authorities would show their lack of freedom. Before the Lunar New Year, "Lost in the East" was blocked after its release in North America. Even with Kevin Feige's efforts to smooth things over, it was no use, resulting in a final North American box office of only a little over 100 million.
Because the plot of "Lost in the East" tells the story of a young American woman who goes to China with her family to work and what she sees and hears, many North American and even global moviegoers feel a sense of disorientation and a collapse of their worldview after watching it...
Hollywood officials treated this as a major threat, regarding Lu Lin, this pure Chinese superstar, as a monstrous threat. The key point is that Lu Lin had actually released a rock masterpiece album called "Red Tide" before, which was full of rock versions of songs like "The Internationale," "Song of Unity of the People," and "The Dawns Here Are Quiet," including multiple language versions, and once swept the global music scene...
The "opening up to the world" effect caused by "Lost in the East" awakened Hollywood's memory of "Red Wave". According to Kevin Feige's statement before the new year, Lu Lin's new film, which has already been filmed, will definitely not be released in the North American market, and the same goes for markets such as Europe, Japan, South Korea and India!
"I'm just wondering, why would you cut off your own escape route and give up such a lucrative domestic market?"
Fan Dabing probably hadn't figured out Lu Lin's tactics, and couldn't help but continue the conversation: "With your influence in the domestic entertainment industry, you can definitely launch a retaliatory countermeasure. If Hollywood officials block your movies overseas, you can block Hollywood movies in China."
"In comparison, Hollywood is undoubtedly more dependent on our domestic market, and in the end, they will almost certainly take the initiative to submit to us, even letting us do whatever we want!"
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "That makes sense, but how many years will this process take? Three years? Five years? Or ten years?"
Fan Dabing was immediately stumped: "Uh..."
This parallel world is ultimately different. The trade competition has already begun, and there's still no result yet. Who knows when it will be over?
If Lu Lin were to compete with Hollywood, it would probably take more than ten years to determine a winner. Even though the Chinese entertainment industry never makes money from overseas markets, the losses would only be unilateral for Hollywood. But Lu Lin is so eager to act, directly abandoning the domestic market, and clearly doesn't care about those meager profits. He's racing against time.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Lin continued, "Do you feel that I'm asking for trouble?"
"Actually, no!"
"From now on, I'm free to do whatever I want. Things I can't do or film in China, I can do from now on!"
"Furthermore... you need to understand one thing: a sword hanging over your head is a real threat, making the enemy constantly wary. But a sword that falls is just a simple declaration of war, only emboldening the enemy to fight you!"
Fan Dabing hesitated and nodded slightly, probably still not understanding why he was rushing to save time.
Fortunately, over the past ten years, she has gotten used to Lu Lin's unrealistic behavior. After all, he is a super-rich man with a net worth of hundreds of billions of US dollars, yet he is still keen on being an actor who jumps around. This is unrealistic in itself.
So when she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and instead glanced at Li Dabing, Yang Mi, and Tong Ya next to her. Seeing that the three of them were focused on watching the closing show of the awards ceremony, she whispered in Lu Lin's ear, "I'm not going back to China either. I'll stay overseas with you. It just so happens that you need a capable assistant."
Lu Lin casually said, "You're not a threat to Hollywood, and you don't have to give up the domestic entertainment industry if you want to develop your career in Hollywood."
Fan Dabing explained quietly, "What I mean is, I'll be your assistant to expand your business empire, not to develop your career in Hollywood."
Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and used the [Eye of True Knowledge] skill, consuming one point of Holy Value to check her status stats.

The Eye of True Knowledge: Seeing Through All Things
[Person]: Fan Dabing
[Status]: Peak (eager for quick success)
[Affection]: 99 (Die-sworn disciple)
Overall Rating: 87 (High Ability)
……
Fan Dabing felt uneasy under his gaze, and quickly rubbed her red lips against Lu Lin's ear, pleading in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Good little brother, will you do it or not~!"
Lu Lin got goosebumps all over and said with a chill, "Can't you stop acting cute, you mature woman? Are you trying to disgust me to death?"
Lu Lin was too lazy to explain, because the awards ceremony had already officially ended. With the global live broadcast signal cut off, the venue began to be cleared out, and most of the Hollywood celebrities who did not win awards also wisely left on their own.
Meanwhile, the award winners and the real Hollywood bigwigs went to the restrooms or touched up their makeup before heading to the banquet hall on the top floor of the venue to attend the so-called victory celebration.
A large number of media reporters were already waiting outside the banquet hall to interview the award winners and Hollywood celebrities who were about to enter the banquet hall.
Lu Lin, who won eight Oscars tonight for his work, was the focus of media attention. As soon as he, along with a group of actresses and Kevin Feige, appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, cameras clicked and flashes went off incessantly.
Tom Cruise, who was originally giving an interview with his bright white teeth, was completely ignored and could only reluctantly enter the banquet hall to make room for the interview.
Lu Lin was also a bit unserious. After walking to the interview area, he imitated Tom Cruise, showing off eight big white teeth and posing for photos.
But his action caused the camera clicks and flashes to stop instantly, leaving the media reporters staring at him in utter bewilderment: [You damn Chinese bastard, don't you want to stay in Hollywood? How dare you make fun of Tom Cruise!]
Scarlett Johansson, even, felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly raised her Oscar statuette, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem... If anyone has any questions, please ask them now..."
The reporters suddenly snapped out of their daze and immediately raised their hands, vying to ask questions. Scarlett Johansson casually pointed to an Asian reporter and let him ask the first question.
She had assumed that an Asian reporter would be lenient with Lu Lin, who was embroiled in scandal, after all, they were both Asian. But the reporter's opening remarks made her even more uneasy: "Ms. Scarlett, during your collaboration with Mr. Lu on 'Lost in the East,' was there any questioning of unspoken rules or sexual harassment?"
Black Widow: "..."
