Chapter 1245 The Entertainment Industry Is so Hypocritical
Liu Jianjun was very winking, and immediately called the waiter, and put the two tables together, "Mr. Jiang, please sit down~"
Yang Cheng also wanted to know why Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly brought Liu Yifei's mother and daughter here, the key was that he was old and knew his grandfather, so it was hard to lose face.
After they were seated, everyone had different expressions, the most obvious one was Liu Xiaoli, who looked at Yang Cheng as if she was looking at her son-in-law.
"What advice does Boss Jiang have?" Yang Cheng asked, taking a sip of tea.
It stands to reason that he is a junior, and it is not polite to use such words to the elders, but sometimes the difference in status is enough to even out the difference in age.
"I don't dare to teach, but I have a lot of respect for Mr. Liu. It just so happens that you met my friend's daughter again, so I took the opportunity to chat a few words. Speaking of which, we are also half of the same business~"
There are rumors in the world that Mr. Jiang is very low-key and doesn't like to be noisy. He rarely participates in receptions, parties and other activities on weekdays. Do not linger.
But in private, Mr. Jiang is also considered a man of temperament, and there is no shortage of comforting little padded jackets around him, including the actress who has become famous. I heard that Mr. Jiang first fell in love with Concubine Liu in the movie. It's just that people don't want to dedicate themselves to art.
Yang Cheng nodded, "Jiang is always a senior in the entertainment industry, I'm just getting started~"
"Mr. Yang is humble. It is expected that New Era Films will become one of the top seven in Hollywood."
With a few words of flattery, Jiang Zhiqiang felt that the time was almost up, and he looked at Concubine Liu from the corner of his eye, and said tentatively, "Oh~ I have known Sissy's mother for more than ten years, and at that time Sissy was still a child. I have grown up so much in a blink of an eye, it really is not forgiving."
Yang Cheng didn't know why, so she could only say a few words in cooperation, "Who said it wasn't, I was still young and frivolous at that time~"
"This child is good in everything, but she doesn't have any ambition. Although her quiet temper is not a bad thing, but in the entertainment industry, she might not be able to get ahead with such a personality. Her mother and I are very worried about this."
Seeing Concubine Liu lower her head in embarrassment, Yang Cheng teased, "I just like a quiet character, a woman who is noisy and chasing fame and fortune, but I can't even take a look at her~"
Jiang Zhiqiang thought about it, swallowed what he was going to say just now, and changed his rhetoric again, "I think Mr. Yang and Qianqian have a good relationship. If there is a chance, we will make an appointment to eat and watch a movie. Young people, many friends and many paths~"
Yang Cheng shrugged,
He said ambiguously, "Who said it wasn't?"
Seeing that the bait was not hooked, Jiang Zhiqiang was not in a hurry. "Although Sissi has no ambition, she is full of dreams about Hollywood. Now there is an opportunity. Both her mother and I want to help this child realize his dream."
The hypocrisy of the entertainment industry can be seen from this incident. Even Mr. Jiang, in the face of real capital, will inevitably fall into the cliché.
Yang Cheng had already guessed the other party's intentions, but just a few words to ask her to help? That is impossible.
"I envy people who have dreams, and even more envy those who are willing to work hard for their dreams~"
This kind of big talk and empty talk comes as soon as you open your mouth. It sounds good, but it's not luan and has no practical effect.
"But Mr. Yang is also aware of how serious Hollywood's hidden discrimination against Asians is. Even if I rely on a lot of connections, I can barely get an audition spot." When Jiang Zhiqiang said this, his eyes were fixed on Yang. Cheng, it seemed that he was not going to look away until he let go.
But he misjudged Yang Cheng's thick skin, "Indeed, Hollywood has built a very strong wall against Asians and even people of color. If outsiders want to overturn and integrate, they will have to pay a huge price.
Even if he is as successful as Jack Chen, he has gone through countless beatings in Hollywood to achieve today's achievements, but it is still difficult to enter the mainstream production, of course, this is also related to the limitations of his role~"
Can ordinary people understand this sentence? I'm afraid he just nodded subconsciously, thinking that what Yang Cheng said was right and reasonable.
However, Mr. Jiang is not an ordinary person, he grasped the point of the words almost instantly - the price!
It is impossible to succeed in Hollywood without paying the price, Yang Cheng made it very clear.
For women, what is the price they can pay? It's obvious~
Brother Jiang agreed without hesitation, "That's right, but in order to succeed, young people can't be too hard and work hard~"
Turning around, she said to Concubine Liu, "Sissy~ During the time Mr. Yang is in Xiangjiang, you should accompany him well so that he won't be bored by himself, so don't worry about playing, and learn more about Hollywood with Mr. Yang." When you officially enter Hollywood, these are very valuable experiences~”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Concubine Liu Yifei's mother and daughter changed at the same time. The difference was that Liu Xiaoli was soon relieved by Mr. Jiang's eyes. Just like Yang Cheng said, if you want to succeed, you must the price paid.
But Concubine Liu is different, she vaguely regards Yang Cheng as a friend in her heart, and now she is asked to accompany her friend, how can she accept it?
Tears wet her eyes for a moment, but she lowered her head stubbornly, not wanting to be seen.
Yang Cheng doesn't care so much, it's just an exchange of interests, and it's too much to talk about feelings, "Mr. Jiang is polite, and I am willing to communicate with Sissy more. By the way, which movie will Sissy audition for? Maybe I can also offer a copy." force?"
He was asking knowingly, at this time, which audition could Concubine Liu Yi participate in besides "Mulan"?
Of course, in the eyes of Mr. Jiang, all of this is reasonable. He agreed to Yang Cheng's conditions, so Yang Cheng will give the corresponding return. If he doesn't know which movie, how to return it?
"It is the movie "Mulan" adapted from the ancient literature of country Z"
Yang Cheng pretended to be surprised, "Disney's project? Are they going to adapt a cartoon again?"
Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, "Yes, this project is currently on the agenda, because of the special nature of the protagonist, Disney intends to recruit Chinese or even Asian actresses to play the role of Hua Mulan around the world. In the Chinese market, Chinese actresses always have an advantage, but whether they can make it to the end depends on the game between all parties~”
Yang Cheng's expression was a little dignified, "It's hard for outsiders to get involved in Disney's projects, especially this kind of projects that attract worldwide attention~"
When he said this, Concubine Liu Yi, who was depressed in her heart, also raised her head.
The routine is very simple. It is very difficult to deliberately say something serious, and will try to lower the other party's psychological expectations as much as possible, so that you will feel much better when you give.
Jiang Zhiqiang can hold his breath, and he has used the method of suppressing first and then raising before. Everyone is a monkey on the mountain. Who is smarter than the other?
Liu Xiaoli was not so calm, "Young Master Yang, there is nothing you can do?"
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "The solution is all thought up by people, why not? But what I have to consider is whether it is worth it~"
After a pause, under Jiang Zhiqiang's inexplicable expression, he said softly, "The easiest way is for New Era Pictures to participate in the investment. In the absence of an actor that Disney favors, it is normal for the investor to ask for a role, but the problem is that Disney has always They like to eat alone, and they also have the ability to eat alone without fear of being overwhelmed, so I am not sure whether they will accept foreign funds."
Jiang Zhiqiang echoed, "This is indeed the simplest and most direct method, but the difficulties we face are also obvious."
"That's right, so we can try other ways~"
Their eyes swept across the faces of the three, and after successfully whetting their appetites, they said, "I can use my relationship to send Sissy to the final round of auditions.
At that time, Sissy's main opponent also surfaced. According to the different opponents, we can formulate different plans. If it is really impossible, we will cause some troubles and let the opponent withdraw from the competition voluntarily. "
What he said is fairly clean, but it can't conceal the evil nature, but this is the entertainment industry, and stumbling for the sake of profit is always light, and cases of poisoning and harming people abound. In this comparison, Yang Cheng only caused some troubles , don't be too merciful~
"This~ this isn't very good, is it?" The kind-hearted Concubine Liu could no longer take care of herself, and she didn't want to get a role by harming others.
Yang Cheng also probably knew her character, as Jiang Zhiqiang said, a person with a quiet personality is not suitable to hang out in the entertainment circle full of intrigue, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on this girl, so he took the initiative to explain, "I Having said that, this is a last resort, and besides, if you don’t take the initiative to harm someone, what if the other party comes to harm you? Are we just sitting there waiting to die? Not allowed to fight back?”
Concubine Liu's face darkened. She remembered that she had never taken the initiative to attack others in the past few years, but there were always people who disliked her for various reasons and stretched out black hands in secret. The momentum will not be interrupted suddenly, lingering in place or even starting to go downhill. The good foundation built by the fairy sister has disappeared by now, and she is forced to leave Xiangjiang in desperation to seek the protection of the big boss.
Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, Liu Xiaoli was afraid of offending Yang Cheng, so she hurriedly added, "Young Master Yang is right. If people don't attack me, I won't attack. If people attack me, I will."
Jiang Zhiqiang smiled, "Don't think too much, we haven't reached that point yet, I think Mr. Yang's plan is okay, first pass the initial audition, and then we can wait until the final round, and then think about the countermeasures."
Liu Jianjun, who had been sitting there smiling without saying a word, suddenly said, "Why don't you sign Ms. Liu's management contract with CY Entertainment? In this way, the boss can justifiably help Ms. Liu obtain resources."
Yang Cheng didn't say anything, it would be best if he could, but he knew that it was unlikely, the godfather of Concubine Liu Yi didn't just eat a living, although he was reported by others in recent years and his strength was greatly weakened, but he was skinny A camel is bigger than a horse, how could it easily let go of its confinement and cash cow?
Of course, if Yang Cheng is willing to pay a certain price, it is not impossible to discuss this matter. After all, the godfather has a new love, and the old love is just a commodity. Why not sell it if the price is right?
