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

Chapter 7: Are they treating Hollywood like a cesspool? Tom Cruise is trying to win them over!

Lu Lin reminded him in Chinese: "Look at his hairstyle after childbirth, he's 99% a Korean reporter. I've been in Asia for years and turned the Korean wave into a cold wave. Tonight, I even snatched the Best Foreign Language Film award from a Korean director. Don't expect him to say anything nice."

Scarlett Johansson suddenly realized, but then wanted to laugh, because after Lu Lin's comment, she also felt that the reporter's hairstyle looked like that of someone who had just given birth. She could only forcefully suppress her laughter and pointed to one of the lip prints on Lu Lin's face, saying, "Do you think this counts as sexual harassment?"

Korean reporter: "Uh..."

Scarlett Johansson's move was brilliant; before the Korean reporter could ask another question, she pointed to a white reporter and let him ask his question next.

But the white reporter didn't ask Scarlett Johansson a question. Instead, he asked Gwyneth Paltrow, who was standing behind her, "Ms. Paltrow, as far as I know, you were promoted by Weinstein. Why was it that when Weinstein and Mr. Lu had a conflict, you were more concerned about Mr. Lu?"

At this very moment, photos and short videos of the two biggest entertainment industry scoundrels from the East and West taking action at the Oscars have spread throughout the English-language internet, so it's not surprising that the reporter asked this question.

Gwyneth Paltrow took two steps forward and replied, "Back when Weinstein and I went to the Berlin Film Festival, he tried to drag me into a room at the VIP hotel and assault me. Lu happened to be in the hallway and saved me, even pressing Weinstein's face to my feet as an apology. So… of course I only care about Lu!"

This was indeed a secret, and the media reporters at the scene were both surprised and excited.

Because such secrets are taboo even in Hollywood, no one ever brought Weinstein's notorious reputation to light.

However, with Pepper Potts speaking out so openly, coupled with the current trend of equality in Hollywood, this could lead to a backlash, with former victimized actresses coming forward to expose her past misdeeds, potentially securing Weinstein's job security for the rest of his life.

of course……

The media reporters at the moment didn't have time to think about these things; they just wanted to dig out more juicy stories, so they all raised their hands again to compete for questions.

But Gwyneth Paltrow had already stepped back two steps to become a background figure, looking like she was saying, "Don't interview me anymore."

This woman truly lives up to her reputation as one of Hollywood's most disliked actresses; she remained silent despite the reporters' probing questions, showing no respect for anyone.

Seeing that another award winner was approaching, Kevin Feige reminded the reporters, "Those of you who wish to interview Ms. Gwyneth can schedule another time. Now, let's ask some questions relevant to tonight and not waste too much time!"

Frustrated, the reporters turned to him, bombarding him with questions: "Mr. Kevin, aren't you afraid of being implicated in Mr. Lu's scandal, given your close relationship with him?"

Kevin Feige shrugged. "That's a redundant question. You heard it yourself: Lu is a heroic and gentlemanly man. Perhaps... he's also a very womanizing man, but isn't it natural for a hero and gentleman to be womanizing? Just like Iron Man is also a womanizer!"

"As for the so-called 'unspoken rules' scandal, do you really think he needs to use unspoken rules against anyone?"

His rhetorical question probably reminded the media reporters of the time when Lu Lin's nude scenes during the awards ceremony for "Thelma & Louise" caused the entire audience of female fans to scream and whistle incessantly.

Then, the questions were turned to Yang Mi and Tong Ya: "Ms. Yang and Ms. Tong, when you were working with Mr. Lu on film, did you encounter any issues of unspoken rules or sexual harassment?"

Yang Mi replied in broken Chinese-English, "There was one instance of harassment when he was filming his cameo role..."

Whoosh--

The media reporters immediately stirred; they were about to dig up some juicy scoops.

But the next second, Tong Ya added quietly, "Most of the female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry rushed to the filming location to see him naked, and some even took advantage of the chaos to touch his private parts, causing him to have a heart attack on the spot!"

Media reporters: "..."

The media reporters' excitement and commotion instantly turned into speechless shrugs. What kind of harassment is this?

Okay... this counts as harassment, but we can't be sexist... being touched to the point of having a heart attack is really terrible!

Seeing that they couldn't dig up any juicy stories, the media reporters could only focus their attention on Lu Lin himself, asking, "Mr. Lu, since you're not a monster who exploits and manipulates women, why don't you clarify things and salvage your reputation in China, instead of fleeing to Hollywood to develop your career?"

Lu Lin shrugged and said, "Because clarifying it in China is useless. The Chinese entertainment industry is relatively conservative and doesn't allow so-called 'playboy gentlemen' to exist."

"But Hollywood is different. As Kevin said, being a womanizer here is taken for granted. Everyone just thinks I'm very charming."

Fan Dabing immediately volunteered to act as a translator, repeating his words verbatim.

She probably had been eyeing the opportunity to follow Lu Lin and make her mark overseas for a long time, and somehow she learned to speak fluent English!

The media reporters listened to her translation and nodded in understanding, but they also felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

These damn Chinese, do they think Hollywood is a cesspool?

Although Hollywood is indeed a cesspool teeming with promiscuous women...

"Lost in the East and Thelma & Louise are now exclusively available on Qianqian Films. Don't forget to include the first ten articles in your interviews that report on them. Qianqian Films will pay a fee for each article, starting at $10,000 USD depending on its popularity!"

Lu Lin finished speaking, then waved and left the interview area, entering the banquet hall with Kevin Feige.

After Fan Dabing translated and repeated it for him, he also hurriedly followed along with the other female stars.

As the group entered the banquet hall, the media reporters couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances before unanimously exclaiming, "Pah... Chinese country bumpkins... They think they're so great just because they have money..."

Amidst the jeers and swears of the reporters, the Black Best Actor winner of this year's Oscars entered the interview area with his golden statuette, flashing his bright white teeth and posing for photos and interviews.

The reporters could only shut their mouths in embarrassment and turn their heads down to fiddle with their phones or tablets.

Seeing that no one was taking pictures or asking interview questions, the Black actor looked bewildered and said, "Oh, nobody wants to interview me?"

The reporters didn't even look up, just frantically rushing to finish their articles, after all, only the first ten published columns would earn a starting fee of ten thousand US dollars...

……

……

Inside the banquet hall.

The award winners, holding their golden statuettes, strolled among the dazzling array of buffet food and drinks, seeking out powerful figures and celebrities to clink glasses and chat, hoping to monetize the honors they had won that evening.

People strive for awards not only for the art of filmmaking, but also for the soaring market value that comes with winning.

Only a fool would willingly wallow in this cesspool without the drive for fame and fortune!

"Lu, do you believe in God?"

Tom Cruise, whom Lu Lin had previously imitated, suddenly approached Lu Lin, enthusiastically offered him a glass of champagne, and asked, "Or rather, do you believe in God?"

Lu Lin was baffled. He took the champagne and said, "I'm a pragmatist. I only believe things if they benefit me. For example, if my left eye twitches, I believe it's good fortune, but if my right eye twitches, I don't believe it's bad luck!"

Fan Dabing immediately began translating and repeating the information, truly treating himself as Lu Lin's assistant.

After listening to the translation, Tom Cruise excitedly clinked glasses with Lu Lin and said mysteriously, "There are benefits... of course there are benefits... In the future, when you develop your career in Hollywood, you should integrate into a large family so that you have someone to look after you, like Scientology, where I work..."
