Chapter 1099 This Circle Is Very Closed (14)

Men like to talk about politics and the international situation...

This thing is considered biological instinct!

It's true, for example, that in monkey society, males are more concerned with fighting and forming gangs, because that can establish status, distribute food, and gain opportunities to mate with females.

From the early days of human society, men have been concerned about hunting and war, because they can obtain food and the opportunity to mate with women, so naturally, men are most concerned about politics, military, and economy.

Shen Xudong ‘took the initiative’, and Xu Zhiyuan immediately followed. The two exchanged views on changes in the international situation...

In the end, the topic returned to whether to bend or not...

The two parties discussed for a long time, and then returned to the serious topic: "What do you think of the entertainment industry?"

"Vanity Fair!"

"Vanity Fair?"

"It's just a place where people compete for fame and fortune...so it looks very chaotic to outsiders!"

"Have you studied it?"

"It's not about research," Shen Xudong said casually: "There is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in the circle, and they generally have no culture and no education. Let's put it this way, they are largely lower than the average level of the public... But because film and television naturally belong to In the area where media resources are concentrated, coupled with the crazy influx of hot money in recent years, they have easily grabbed huge amounts of money that most ordinary people will never earn in their lifetimes. They spend a lot of money, spend a lot of money, buy luxury cars and mansions...

There are also many big stars who have also obtained the qualification to be brothers with those rich people, travel together, and even share wine pools and meat forests, feasts on the sea and sky, fancy cars and famous models...

They naturally pride themselves on being social elites who "talk and laugh with great scholars and have no dealings with ordinary people." Of course, they are full of indifference and even contempt for the ordinary public.

Even disregarding the law!

In the past, when the coal bosses got rich, they would also break out. It was all the same. Vanity Fair would only magnify the ugly side of human nature. "

Shen Xudong is telling the truth. Today’s entertainment industry, especially the film and television industry:

Counterfeiting is common, extravagance is common, people like to take advantage of loopholes, do not follow the right path, do not eat minced meat, and have no sense of awe.

The filming work can be completed without the actors being on set - the dialogue and singing are all done by dubbing, and the text and pictures are added and edited.

Money comes with no effort, tax evasion, huge rewards, and money laundering.

He has no spirit of cooperation, thinks he is superior to others, and does not know how to respect him at all: he acts like a celebrity, breaks the contract, imposes arbitrary demands, tramples on fans, and even has such obscene hook-ups with sleeping fans.

Fraud: fabricating data, creating trolls, and creating fans. There are only fakes that you can't think of, and there are no fakes that he can't create.

Humans are social animals and are easily affected by the environment.

They are completely out of touch with the actual life of society and use their corrupt lifestyle to speculate on the entire social environment.

Therefore, after the Shuangmeizi incident, Fan Xiaopang will question, "This world is inherently unfair. When you think it is unfair, you should think it is normal. When you think it is fair, you should think you are lucky." of! ——What a friend often says in my ear! ’

You see, she didn't feel she was at fault, she just felt unlucky...

He actually felt wronged?

Horse riding, you are breaking the law!

…

"The entertainment industry is a fairly closed circle..."

Xu Zhiyuan was very interested: "How do you say it?"

"There is no certain way. You can't even find the way through the unspoken rules, unless you are deceived by a big scammer!"

"In the past, a new actress would be forced to follow unspoken rules. She would first show her affection, and then lure her with benefits. They would test you and see what you meant. If you had this intention, you would take the initiative to come to the door, and then accept her half-heartedly. You, you won’t be pushed out of trouble and you won’t be in trouble...

This kind of situation is very rare now. There are more professional madams, who are middlemen. Earn a share of the price difference, save the trouble for the superiors, and lead the way for the subordinates, the best of all three worlds. "

"What if you have outstanding talent?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "There are too few people with outstanding talents. Which industry does not require years of training? Can you become good at acting for no reason? There is no good script, no good opponent, no good director, and no large number of actors." Lens practice, scene adaptation, how do you hone your acting skills? Where capital or power and beauty coexist, there must be sex trade. This is a general law of human nature..."

Xu Zhiyuan lit a cigarette and puffed out his eyes: "You too?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Before..."

"Why before?"

"... Because I used to run distribution and cinema chains and also attract investment, so it was necessary to go through the drinking game... Now there is no need for this... It is the same in any circle, the higher you go, the brighter it becomes!"

"Then do you like this circle?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "It's not about whether I like it or not. I majored in drama...and...I am famous for doing "Screening Room"..."

Xu Zhiyuan was confused: ""Screening Room" is about movies..."

"Yes, it's about Hong Kong movies. Then... when I was checking information, I naturally got to know something about what's happening in the Hong Kong film industry..."

"It's a mess?"

"It's so chaotic, gangsters are rampant... Nowadays, Hong Kong goddesses are popular, boasting about their unparalleled elegance, Xiayufanghong, Xianzhenminxin. In fact, those "Hong Kong and Taiwan movie goddesses" at that time had extremely chaotic private lives off the screen, and many of them were The mistress kept by a wealthy businessman has always been public news..."

"I have known since then that the essence of the entertainment industry is to indulge in money and wealth. It is a moral slum with a moral standard far lower than that of the general public. The basic consensus of this industry is to laugh at the poor but not at prostitution, and to put profit first. It does not distinguish between men and women. It’s even more common for people to trade their bodies for resources just to become popular.”

Xu Zhiyuan: "Can you get used to it?"

"Fortunately," Shen Xudong shrugged: "I went from being a screenwriter to a producer, then an investor, then a director... I became a somewhat respectable person in three years! When I first entered the industry, someone told me that if you think the entertainment industry is... It's a cesspit, but you're in it... When a person enters a cesspool, he only needs to remember one thing, and that is to shut up!"

"Did you shut up?"

"No!" Shen Xudong shook his head, and then smiled bitterly: "So, I forced myself to turn off the microphone for a while... After returning to China, I made PPTV."

"Forcibly turn off the mic?"

"I went to the United States in 2009 and came back in 2012...the three years in between were considered a period of shutting up!"

"Why?"

"There are a lot of things I can't stand...I couldn't help but keep silent...It happened that the company in the United States wanted me to take charge of the work, so I went to the United States..."

Xu Zhiyuan was even more confused: "Why do you have to force yourself?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head, thought for a while, and then said: "I don't want to live on the cusp of the storm, and I don't want to be a youth leader..."

This is the truth, the first shot is the first...

Another point is that those few years were an era of widespread public knowledge, and Shen Xudong did not want to be a target!
