Chapter 1355 Simon

Hollywood is a very hierarchical place, and top stars receive bonuses that even have to give in on capital. Second-tier stars can only rely on capital to survive, as for the third-tier stars. It seems that you can get so-called fair treatment from the Screen Actors Guild.

But if you really think that you can become famous in one fell swoop on a fair road, it can only be said that you are naive 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 built-in BUFF, and with the support of Jinshan and someone willing to spend money on you, you can naturally live a carefree life, and you can become famous with any good opportunity.

The second point is that you can bring enough profits to capital. It is true that profits are eternal in any industry. If it can get enough profits from you, no capital will mind supporting you.

That is the most difficult one, that is, there are no conditions that can attract capital at a glance, and there is no financial backing. Then if you want to work hard to climb up, you must accept various rules.

Of these three, the second one is the easiest to become famous and the easiest to become a superstar. Because you are born with the conditions to become popular, capital can immediately see the huge profits from making you popular. In addition, capital is the maker of rules in this industry. As long as you are not too arrogant, it will be difficult for you to become popular.

It can only depend on God’s will. Not everyone wants to be an actor and follow the path of a star. There are countless second-generation people who were squandered money and resources by various bosses, but in the end they still remained tepid.

Even though I have money, I cannot bring enough profits to other capital. At most, people will allow you to participate in some movies just for your sake, rather than really wasting resources on someone who is not suitable for you.

The third one has the most people and is the existence that supports the entire entertainment industry. It is also the most humble existence. Almost everyone's journey as an actor begins on this humble path, and sometimes they even cannot be a human being.

As for those who easily make a hit movie and earn tens of millions, they are just slogans for positive publicity. Among actors all over the world for thousands of years, how many talents can reach your level?

But people always feel that they will eventually become the lucky one and feel good about themselves, which makes countless people jump into this pit of fire.

In the end, 99% of them all have a bleak ending, and of the remaining 10%, 99% of those who come back are only half-dead. It is not an exaggeration to say that one in ten thousand is really famous. The admission rate for this thing is much lower than the civil service exam.

"I heard that some Hollywood movies are going to be released in China at the same time recently. What kind of place is China?" Annie flashed her beautiful big eyes and moved slightly closer to Yang Dongxu.

This is not an obvious hint, but it also expresses a certain meaning. Obviously, compared to the girls who are still waiting and watching not far away, Anne, who is already a Hollywood star, knows some information that ordinary girls do not know.

This is also the reason why she took the initiative to come to Yang Dongxu. Actors basically suffer behind their superficial beauty, especially for an actress like Anne who is pretty, obviously famous, and has made many movies, but is always lukewarm, life is even more difficult. .

Her income cannot support her appearance at all, but in order to maintain her appearance in the eyes of outsiders. She had to grit her teeth and persevere, because if the aura of 'scenery' was also broken. Then she would be completely out of the game, and all her previous efforts would be lost.

Two movies were released last year, and life for the seemingly crazy Annie was actually not easy. For example, there are not many movie invitations or endorsements this year. She recently had to consider an invitation to play a role in a movie with a nude scene.

Foreign women seem to give people the impression that they don’t value sex. But actually speaking, in this regard, China, which seems to be more conservative after a few years, is even worse than these foreign women who seem to be much more open-minded.

For example, regarding the matter of marital infidelity, the traditional personality of domestic women is far higher than that of so-called open-minded foreign women based on infidelity data.

At the same time, it is easy for actors to take off their clothes but difficult to put them on. This is a common truth in the entertainment industry. She obviously doesn't want to pursue a career as a porn star.

"This is a very good attempt. After all, Hollywood movies have the reputation of world movies. The box office performance has always been very good in Europe, America and Asia.

However, because China was not well understood before, China’s huge market of more than one billion people has not been opened. This is a market with great potential. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"With a population of more than one billion, are there really that many people in China? Will there be people walking next to each other whenever we go out?" Annie asked in surprise.

This is also the common exclamation of many foreigners who do not know China. After all, the land area of ​​the United States is only a few hundred thousand square kilometers larger than that of China.

But the United States only has a population of a few hundred million, and China's population is more than three times that of the United States. It's just that the land area has increased by hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, but the population has more than tripled. This is really unimaginable. What kind of environment do you have with so many people.

"Big cities are indeed very lively. For example, the Magic City and Yanjing are big cities with a population of tens of millions, and the remaining cities with a population of millions are also very common.

However, the crowds are not as exaggerated as you think, and the living environment and food are good. If you have a chance, you can go to Fenghuaxia to see it. You won't know much by just reading the news. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"Won't it be chaotic with so many people?" Annie asked subconsciously, but the next moment she realized that this question was too presumptuous, and hurriedly explained: "There are so few people in the United States, and the public security has always been poor. Los Angeles, a city with a population of only one million, feels very chaotic, and a city with a population of ten million is simply unimaginable."

"The public security in China has always been very good, although there are many people. But China bans guns, and the Chinese people are very gentle, so the public security is definitely many times better than in the United States.

As I said, don't always read the news reports. News is just like that, a pawn in the hands of capitalists, only reporting what they want to report and what is in their interests, and some of them may not be true."

"Is that so?" Annie couldn't help but mutter.

From Yang Dongxu's expression and tone, she could tell that the other party was not lying, but the credibility of the media in the United States has always been very good.

Yang Dongxu looked at Annie 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 it has exposed many politicians, celebrities, and even some explosive news about capital.

But the credibility you know is actually established by some first-class media and newspapers. And these media and newspapers, except for occasionally needing to stand on a political standpoint to distort the reports of some things.

At other times, you rarely see them reporting on other countries with a clear attitude. Even if there are some reports from abroad, they are basically about things, not people.

But those tabloids, or media newspapers that rely on various shocking headlines and fabricated content to attract audiences, are different. And most Europeans and Americans have more than half of the impression that China is ancient, poor, and backward, which is created by these tabloids."

"It seems to be true." Annie thought carefully.

Many big newspapers and big media, except for some bad reports about other countries during presidential elections and foreign wars.

Most of the time, they report on some economic, entertainment and sports stars, as well as some world events with great influence. They didn't just report that other countries were bad in this way or that way.

On the contrary, those small-scale newspapers had no moral integrity and would report things that were not true. Of course, the big media and newspapers here do not include those media newspapers that were originally unfriendly to China.

"Hi, Yang, are you okay?" This was a big man with black hair who walked over. Yang Dongxu smiled and stood up and gave him a smile.

"Hello, Simon."

Simon Cowell, this name sounds a bit strange to many Chinese people, but if you say a venomous judge, many viewers will instantly think of the man in front of them.

However, Simon Cowell was not a judge at first. He was born in the UK and his career was a music consultant. He was also the pioneer of pop music.

He used to be a music consultant for a record giant company, and he also guided the Irish singing group "Westlife" to become popular all over the world.

In recent years, talent shows have become popular in the United States, in addition to Yang Dongxu's "Happy Boys" and "Happy Girls". There is also a popular variety show called "American Idol", and Simon is one of the three judges of "American Idol".

He is also a film producer and entrepreneur, and has a very high popularity in the United States. At present, the salary of the United States is only about tens of millions of dollars. Last year, Simon ranked second with an income of 28 million US dollars in the income ranking of the 20 TV celebrities in the United States.

And this income is still increasing, according to incomplete estimates. This year, not counting the income of his own company, Simon's income from hosting, judging, music guidance and film production alone can almost exceed 40 million. It is much higher than the income of those movie stars.

If some endorsements and other investment income are included, his income is not worse than those of the stars. That's right, don't look at the Hollywood stars' salary of tens of millions, and sometimes there are even hundreds of millions of salary with movie box office dividends.

But in Europe and the United States, the most profitable are not film and television stars, but sports stars. For example, the signing fee of big-name stars now starts at at least 30 million per year, not to mention endorsements of sneakers, jerseys, and other sports products.

The income of sports stars has always been at the T1 level in Europe and America, and the income of this echelon can only be matched by a few Hollywood superstars.

"Hello, Annie, you are so beautiful." Simon gave Yang Dongxu a hug and said to the older Annie next to him with a smile: "I won't disturb you two from chatting, will I?"

"No, Simon." Annie said with a smile.

Although I really want to say, you have disturbed me. I just brewed my emotions here, and before I can make the next plan, you ruined it. But this is obviously not something she can say, after all, she can't afford to offend the person in front of her.
