Chapter 1351: Simon
Hollywood is a very hierarchical place, and A-list superstars have dividends that even capital has to concede. Second-tier stars can only rely on capital to survive, as for those small stars in the third-tier starlet. It seems that the so-called fair treatment can be obtained from the actors' union.
But if you really think that you will be able to become famous on the road to fairness, it can only be said that you are naΓ―ve and have no brains. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only three ways for a person to become famous.
The first one comes with a BUFF, backed by Jinshan, someone is willing to throw money at you, you can naturally live carefree, and you can become famous with a good opportunity.
The second is that you can bring enough profits to capital, and profits are eternal and it is true in any industry. If it can make a good enough profit from you, no capital will mind holding you up.
That is, the most difficult one, that is, there are no conditions that can attract capital at a glance, and there is no backing to the gold mountain. If you want to work your way up, you have to accept all kinds of rules.
Of these three, the second one is the easiest and easiest to become a superstar. Because you are born with the conditions to become popular, capital can see the big profits after you become popular at a glance, plus capital is the original maker of the rules of this line, as long as you are not too crotch-pulling, it is difficult to think about it.
It can only be seen by providence. Not everyone eats the meal of actors and takes the road of stardom. There are countless second-generation people who have been thrown money and resources by various bosses, and who are still tepid in the end.
Even though you have money, you can't bring enough profits to other capital. At most, people will look at your face and let you participate in some movies, and they will not really waste resources on you, who is not suitable.
The third one has the most people, and it is also the existence that supports the entire entertainment industry, and it is also the most humble existence. Almost everyone's path as an actor starts from this humble and sometimes even can't be a human being.
As for those who make tens of millions of dollars in a drama that explodes at every turn, that is just a slogan for positive publicity. There have been thousands of actors all over the world for thousands of years, how many talents can reach your height?
But people always feel good about themselves that they will eventually be the lucky ones, which makes countless people rush to jump into this fire pit.
In the end, nine out of nine are bleak endings, and among the remaining ten percent, nine out of nine are just half-dead. It's really a bit famous, and one in 10,000 is not an exaggeration. This thing has a much lower acceptance rate than the civil service exam.
"I heard that some Hollywood films are about to be released in China at the same time, what kind of place is Huaxia?" Annie flashed her big beautiful eyes and moved a little closer to Yang Dongxu's side.
This is not an obvious implication, but it does mean something. Obviously, compared to the girls who were still waiting not far away, Annie, who was already a Hollywood star, knew some news that ordinary girls didn't know.
This is also the reason why she took the initiative to come to Yang Dongxu. Actors are basically guilty behind the surface scenery, especially for actresses like Anne, who are beautiful, have already become famous, and have made a lot of movies, but are always tepid, life is even more difficult.
The income can't support her superficial scenery at all, but in order to maintain her scenery in the eyes of outsiders. She had to grit her teeth and hold on, because if the aura of 'scenery' was also shattered. Then she will be completely out, and all her previous efforts will be zero.
Two movies were released last year, and the seemingly crazy Annie didn't have a good time. For example, there are no movie invitations and endorsements this year, and she recently had to consider an invitation to play a nude movie role.
Foreign women don't seem to value sex or anything. But in fact, it is true that the country that seems to be more conservative after a few years in this regard is even worse than these foreign women who seem to be much more open.
For example, in the matter of cheating in marriage, the traditional personality of domestic women is much higher than that of so-called open foreign women in terms of cheating data.
At the same time, it is easy for actors to take off their clothes and difficult to put on clothes, which is a universal truth in the entertainment industry. She obviously doesn't want to develop on the road of star.
"It's a good thing to try. After all, Hollywood movies have the name of world movies. Whether it is in Europe, the United States, or in Asia, the box office performance has always been very good.
However, because I did not have a deep understanding of China before, the huge market of more than one billion people in China has not been opened. This is a very promising market. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"With a population of more than one billion, are there really so many people in China? Will there be people walking next to each other when they go out?" asked Anne in surprise.
This is also the common amazement of many foreigners who do not know Huaxia, after all, the land area of the United States is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers larger than that of Huaxia.
But the population of the United States is only a few hundred million, and the population of China is more than three times that of the United States. It's just a land area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, but it has more than three times the population, which really can't imagine what kind of environment you have with so many people.
"Big cities are indeed very lively, for example, Modu and Yanjing are big cities with a population of 10 million, and the rest of the cities have a population of 1 million.
But no one is so exaggerated as you imagined, the living environment and food are good, you can go to Huaxia to see if you have the opportunity, just look at those news can not understand anything. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Wouldn't so many people be very chaotic?" Anne asked subconsciously, but the next moment she knew that this question was too presumptuous, and quickly explained: "There are so few people here in the United States, and the law and order have always been very poor. Los Angeles is already a mess of a city with a population of just one million, and a city of tens of millions of people is unimaginable. β
"The law and order in Huaxia has always been very good, although there are many people. But the ban on guns in China, coupled with the fact that the Chinese people are very gentle, the security is definitely many times better than that of the United States.
Again, don't always read the news reports. The news is like that, the chess pieces in the hands of the capitalists, only report what they want to report, and some of the things that are in their interests are not necessarily true. β
"Is that so?" muttered Anne.
From the look and tone of Yang Dongxu's speech, she can tell that the other party is not lying, but the credibility of the media on the side of the United States has always been very good.
Yang Dongxu looked at Anne with a smile, as if he guessed what she was thinking, "The credibility of the media in the United States, or Europe and the United States, is indeed good, at least a lot of politicians and celebrities, and even some fierce news about capital."
But the credibility you perceive is actually established by some first-class big media and newspapers. Except for the occasional political distortion of what these media newspapers are reporting.
Other times you rarely see reports of their more stark attitudes towards other countries. Even if there are some reports from abroad, they are basically right and not right.
But it's not the same with the lacy tabloids, or just the media newspapers that attract audiences with all sorts of thriller headlines and fabricated content. More than half of the impression that most Europeans and Americans have of China as ancient, poor, and backward is the image created by these tabloids. β
"It seems like that's really the case. Anne thought about it carefully.
A lot of big newspapers, big media, if not in the presidential elections and foreign wars, some bad reports about other countries.
Most of the time it is about economic, entertainment and sports stars, as well as some events that have a great impact on the world. I didn't blindly report that other countries were so bad or that bad.
On the other hand, those small packets of paper have all kinds of undisciplined behaviors, and they will be reported if they are made up and reported. Of course, the big media and big newspapers in this do not include those media newspapers that are not friendly to China in the first place.
"Hey, Yang, don't bother, right?" a big man with black hair walked over, and Yang Dongxu stood up with a smile and gave him a smile.
"Hello, Simon. β
Simon Cowell, this name makes many Chinese people sound a little unfamiliar, but if you say the poisonous tongue judge, then many viewers can instantly think of the figure of the man in front of them.
However, Simon Cowell did not start out as a judge, he was born in the UK as a music consultant and is also the pioneer of pop music today.
used to be a music consultant for a record giant company, and he single-handedly guided the Irish singing group "West Side Boys" to become popular all over the world.
In recent years, talent variety shows have become popular in the United States, except for Yang Dongxu's "Happy Boy" and "Happy Girl". There is also a popular variety show called "Rice Country Idol", and Simon is one of the three major ratings of "Rice Country Idol".
At the same time, he is also a film producer and entrepreneur, and has a high popularity in the United States. At present, the salary of the United States is only about 10 million US dollars. Last year, Simon ranked second with $28 million in the income of 20 TV celebrities in the whole meter.
And this income is still increasing, according to incomplete estimates. This year, not counting his own company's income, just the income of hosting, rating, and music director and film producer, Simon's income can almost exceed 40 million. Much higher than those movie superstars.
If you include some endorsements and other investment income, his income is no worse than those stars. That's right, don't look at the salary of Hollywood superstars, there are tens of millions at every turn, and sometimes there are even a few people who add hundreds of millions of dollars in box office dividends.
But in Europe and the United States, the most profitable people are not film and television stars, but sports stars. For example, the signing fee of big-name stars now starts at least 30 million per year, not to mention the endorsement of sneakers, jerseys, and other sporting goods.
The income of sports stars has always been the existence of the T1 level of gold absorption ability in Europe and the United States, and the income in this echelon can only be compared with individual superstars.
"Hello, Annie, you're pretty. Simon gave Yang Dongxu a hug, smiled and said to Annie next to him, "Don't disturb the two of you chatting, right?"
"Not really, Simon. Anne said with a smile.
Although the mouth is tempted to say, you have bothered. I had just been brewing emotions here, and before I could make the next plan, I was ruined by you. But this obviously can't be said, after all, she can't afford to offend the person in front of her.
