Chinese entertainment industry in disarray? Hollywood goddess welcomes strict father!
Chapter 9: Marvel and DC, the battle for talent begins!
Lu Lin also looked like he had seen a ghost, because his True Eye could clearly see that the old white woman's favorability towards him suddenly changed from -38 to 100+, which was even more exaggerated than Fan Dabing's 99 favorability.
In addition, a new entry for "Low-level Saintly Companion" has been added.
……
The Eye of True Knowledge: Seeing Through All Things
[Character]: Victoria Alonso (Lower Saint)
[Status]: Sub-healthy (feeling lost and distressed)
[Affection]: 100+ (Sworn Disciple)
Overall Rating: 79 (High Ability)
……
Lu Lin turned his head and used his Eye of True Knowledge to look at Fan Dabing beside him, but he saw that there was no entry like "Low-level Saintly Couple" after the character's name.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Lin had already grasped something. He glanced at the empty champagne glass in the old woman's hand, and then looked at the champagne tower next to her.
Is it because I drank imported wine?
But I've never had a similar situation when I ate hot pot with female celebrities before, sharing the same pot and tasting each other's saliva.
Oh, right... there's a new skill now called [Accepting Partners for Blessings], and things are different from before...
"Glug~!"
A faint swallowing sound suddenly reached Lu Lin's ears, startling him. He immediately looked toward Kevin Fitch in the direction of the sound.
That damn bastard actually drank that imported champagne! Trying to become a "gay couple"?!
Kevin Fitch noticed Lu Lin's annoyed gaze, but misunderstood it. He awkwardly put down his empty glass and said, "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have brought her here and annoyed you."
……
The Eye of True Knowledge: Seeing Through All Things
[Person]: Kevin Feige
[Status]: Sub-healthy (Complacent)
[Affection]: 90 (Die-sworn disciple)
Overall Rating: 88 (High Ability)
……
Seeing that he didn't have the "Gay Couple" tag and his favorability rating was barely at 90, Lu Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued the conversation, "Tell her to stay away from me and go somewhere cool!"
Kevin Feige couldn't understand, so he had to look to Fan Dabing for help.
But the old white woman no longer needed Fan Dabing to translate; as if she understood Lu Lin's words, she left Lu Lin's sight with a pitiful expression.
However, after leaving Lu Lin's sight, she stood behind him again and said quietly in English, "It's very cool here, and it's not in your way..."
She's quite adept at exploiting bugs; it's likely that after becoming a sacred couple, her affection level surpassed the 100+ threshold, allowing her to communicate with Lu Lin without needing to exchange words.
Kevin Feige was both puzzled and surprised by her behavior. Was she really that much of a masochist?
Fan Dabing's reaction to Lu Lin's Chinese response without needing a translator went beyond mere bewilderment and surprise.
Her alluring peach blossom eyes held a hint of suspicion as she looked at the empty champagne glass in her hand, then at Kevin Feige's empty champagne glass. She then took a glass of champagne from the champagne tower next to her and downed it in one gulp.
Ok.
Fan Bingbing's overall score is as high as 87, almost on par with Kevin Feige's 88, and there's a reason for that.
She had personally poured the imported champagne that Lu Lin had just drunk into the champagne tower, and the old white woman's transformation occurred after she drank the imported champagne, so she had keenly identified the key.
But Kevin Feige also drank imported champagne and seemed unaffected, which puzzled her, so she decided to try it herself.
He's a truly intelligent and proactive person!
However, she and Lu Lin had known each other for fifteen years, and her favorability rating of 99 was already close to the critical value. At this moment, drinking imported champagne and being forcibly judged as a holy couple by the system only increased her favorability rating by a little and added the "top holy couple" entry. She didn't feel anything else.
"The taste is quite refreshing..."
Fan Dabing pursed her red lips, pondered for a moment, and then asked doubtfully, "But there's nothing special about it?"
Lu Lin said, both amused and exasperated, "What are you thinking? It's probably just Tom Cruise who drugged me."
"Focus on translating for me, someone else is coming."
Fan Dabing composed himself and followed his gaze, only to see that the person who came was the current head of Warner DC.
James Gunn!
He was the director of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series, and Chinese movie fans often jokingly refer to him as Director Gun based on the pronunciation of his name [Gun].
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Kevin..."
Gunn quickly approached and greeted Lu Lin and Kevin Feige, then turned to Lu Lin privately with an embarrassed expression and said, "Mr. Lu, I hope you won't mind if I didn't greet you at the awards ceremony?"
Lu Lin didn't give him a friendly look, saying only, "Although I'm embroiled in scandals, your reputation is even worse. So even if you greet me, I won't acknowledge you in public, lest the media confuse the two of us."
This is quite blunt and impolite, because this director's reputation is even worse than that of Hollywood scoundrel Weinstein, and it's all about children.
Hollywood needed his talent, so they gathered a large group of people to support him and whitewash his image, which suppressed the negative public opinion.
If this kind of person were in Huayu Entertainment, Lu Lin would definitely make sure he's completely wiped out!
Seeing his attitude, Fan Dabing dared not translate carelessly and hurriedly organized his thoughts to strive for an accurate translation.
But before she could speak, the elderly white woman next to her eagerly stepped forward and volunteered to translate and repeat for Lu Lin.
This startled Fan Dabing, and the suspicion he had just suppressed resurfaced uncontrollably.
Even Kevin Feige was taken aback, and directly asked the elderly white woman, "Alonso, can you understand Lu's Chinese?"
The older white woman shook her head: "I don't understand..."
"But I feel that what Lu said is exactly what I translated..."
"Isn't that right?"
She asked Lu Lin this last question to confirm if the translation was correct.
Lu Lin wanted to shake his head and deny it, telling her to get lost and stop causing trouble, but Fan Dabing preemptively said, "You translated very well, so I'll trouble you to translate for Brother Lin. I have something else to attend to."
After saying that, he took two more glasses of champagne from the champagne tower and walked towards Tom Cruise, who had previously given Lu Lin champagne, clearly determined not to give up until he figured it out.
Lu Lin clicked his tongue in exasperation, but did not stop him.
Because he knew Fan Bingbing's character too well. Even if he stopped her now, or even gave her an order to stop her, she would definitely find a way to figure out her doubts in the future.
"Gu En, you can say what you need to say directly. There's no need to force a connection with Mr. Lu. He doesn't want any connection with you..."
With Fan Dabing gone, the old woman completely assumed the role of Lu Lin's assistant, directly urging Gu En to spit out his words.
Gunn glared at her angrily, then stopped arguing and asked with a frown, "Is Disney planning to invite Mr. Lu to take the helm of Marvel?"
The older white woman nodded in agreement, making no attempt to hide it.
Gunn wasn't surprised, and turned to Lu Lin, saying directly, "Actually, Time Warner also wants to invite you to take charge of the current creative direction of DC. You can name any conditions you want!"
