Hollywood is a very hierarchical place. A-list superstars receive bonuses that even capital must be compromised. 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. If someone is willing to spend money on you with the support of Jinshan, 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 they can get enough profits from you, no capital will mind supporting you.
That is the most difficult thing, that is, there is no condition 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 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 for the sake of your father's face, and will not really waste resources on you, an unsuitable person.
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 no 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 news 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 superficial beauty at all, but in order to maintain her beauty 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 Anne 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, Shanghai 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. You won't know much by just reading the news. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Wouldn't it be chaotic with so many people?" Annie 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 public security has always been very poor. Here in Los Angeles, there are only A city with a population of just one million already feels chaotic, but a city with a population of tens of millions is simply unimaginable."
"Public security in China has always been very good, although there are many people. But China bans guns, and the Chinese people have a very gentle personality, so the security is definitely many times better than here in the United States.
Again, don’t always read reports in the news. News is just that, a chess piece in the hands of capitalists. They only report things they want to report and that are in their interests. Some of them may not be true. "
"Is that so?" Annie couldn't help but muttered.
From the look and tone of Yang Dongxu's words, 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 media in the United States, or in Europe and the United States, do have good credibility. At least they have exposed many politicians, celebrities, and even some violent news about capital.
But the credibility you think of is actually established by some first-class media and newspapers. And these media newspapers occasionally need to take a political stand and distort the reported things.
At other times, you rarely see reports about their more distinct attitudes in other countries. Even if there are some foreign reports, they are basically inaccurate.
But those tabloids, or media newspapers that rely on various shocking headlines and fabricated content to attract audiences, are different. And more than half of the impression that most Europeans and Americans have about China as an ancient, poor, and backward country is the image created by these tabloids. "
"It seems that's really what happened." Annie thought about it carefully.
Many big newspapers and big media, if not during presidential elections and foreign wars, would have some bad reports about other countries.
Most of the time, they report on some economic, entertainment and sports stars, as well as some world-wide events that have great influence. We do not blindly report that other countries are not good in this or that way.
On the other hand, those small packets of paper are all unethical, and even if they make up things that are clearly not true, they will be reported. Of course, the big media and newspapers here do not include those media and newspapers that are originally unfriendly to China.
"Hi, Yang, don't bother me?" A big man with black hair came over. Yang Dongxu stood up with a smile and gave him a smile.
"Hello, Simon."
Simon Cowell, this name sounds a bit strange to many Chinese people, but if you talk about the vicious judge, then many viewers will instantly picture the man in front of them.
However, Simon Cowell was not a judge at the beginning. He was born in the UK and worked as a music consultant. He was also the pioneer of popular music.
He was once a music consultant for a record giant company, and he single-handedly guided the Irish singing group "Westlife" to become a worldwide hit.
In recent years, talent show 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 "American Idol", and Simon is one of the three major ratings of "American Idol".
At the same time, he is also a film producer and entrepreneur, and is extremely popular in the United States. Currently, film salaries in the United States are only around tens of millions of dollars. In last year's ranking of the top 20 TV celebrities in America, Simon ranked second with an income of US$28 million.
And this income is still increasing, according to incomplete estimates. Not counting his own company's income this year, Simon's income can almost exceed 40 million just from hosting, judging, music direction and film producer income. Much higher than the income of those movie superstars.
If you include some endorsements and other investment income, his income is no worse than those of those stars. That's right, despite the fact that Hollywood superstars' salaries can easily reach tens of millions, and sometimes there are even a few who earn hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends from the box office of their movies.
But the most profitable people in Europe and the United States are actually not film and television stars, but sports stars. For example, the signing fees of big-name players now start at least 30 million yuan per year, not to mention endorsements of sneakers, jerseys, and other sporting goods.
The income of sports stars has always been at the T1 level of European and American money-making ability, and the income of this echelon can only be matched by Hollywood and individual superstars.
"Hello, Annie, you are beautiful." Simon gave Yang Dongxu a hug, smiled and said to the older Annie next to him: "I won't disturb the two of you chatting, right?"
"No, Simon." Anne said with a smile.
Although I really want to say it, you have already interrupted me. I just had some emotions brewing here, and you ruined it before I even made the next step. But she obviously couldn't say this, after all, she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her.
