Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 234 Breaking the Illusion
Zhang Guozhong didn't react for a while: "Which Mr. Lu?"

Liu Tianwang immediately reminded him, "It's that Mr. Lu who was very prosperous in Xiangjiang some time ago, defended Xiangjiang's finance, plundered the wool, and slaughtered the international hot money."

Only then did Zhang Guozhong suddenly realize, and after taking a closer look, he finally recognized Lu Yiming. After all, a month ago, Lu Yiming's handsome face was often printed on the headlines of newspapers.

Liu Tianwang was immediately excited, and his eyes flickered.

He doesn't know how to invest, but Lu Yiming does.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianwang stopped eating, got up and walked towards Lu Yiming.

"Mr. Lu, hello."

Liu Tianwang bowed slightly, his tone was respectful, and his posture was very low

And Lu Yiming, who was lowering his head to eat, didn't see Liu Tianwang coming at all, and he didn't raise his head until Liu Tianwang spoke.

Seeing Liu Tianwang's familiar yet unfamiliar smile, Lu Yiming was a little stunned: "Liu Tianwang! Do you know me?"

Although his face once appeared in newspapers, Lu Xun said that the memory of a goldfish is only seven seconds, and the memory of a person is only seven days. It is estimated that few people can recognize them.

But Liu Tianwang recognized him at a glance, and even ran over to say hello, he must be said to be a caring person.

In front of Lu Yiming, Liu Tianwang behaved very modestly, and said with a smile on his face: "You can just call me Hua Tsai. Mr. Lu, you are a famous person in Xiangjiang. If there is a chance, I naturally hope to know you."

It has to be said that Liu Tianwang is very good at being a man, and he is not at all over the top just because he is a big star.

Talking and doing things give people a feeling of spring breeze. It is no wonder that he was born in a humble background, but he can be supported by noble people. Whether it is singing or acting, he has achieved great success and is among the top Asian artists.

The essence of human civilization is group cooperation, so people with stronger social skills are more likely to succeed.

Undoubtedly, Liu Tianwang is the kind of person who maximizes his social skills.

Lu Yiming, who is a man in his second life, naturally has a social attribute that is not comparable to that of a teenager.He didn't feel unnatural because of Liu Tianwang's identity, even in the face of the Uranus superstar, he could still behave freely and calmly.

"Haha, Liu Tianwang is really quick to talk. I'm committed to you as a friend. By the way, I have a few companions who are all your fans. When we returned to the hotel today, they wanted to ask you to sign a photo. It's just that your fans were too enthusiastic and they didn't make it to the front row."

Liu Tianwang smiled modestly: "I feel very honored to be loved by everyone. I can arrange autographs and group photos at any time. I wonder where your friends are now?"

Lu Yiming raised his head and looked around: "They just ate and played outside, and they will come over later. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Ask the waiter to come over and see if you want something to eat, and I'll pay. Waiter, come here... ..."

A waiter not far away hurried over, bowed slightly, and then asked softly, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Lu Yiming pointed to the empty dishes on the table: "Remove all of these and tidy up the table. Liu Tianwang hasn't eaten yet. Bring the menu and I'll treat him to a meal."

"OK, just a second."

Liu Tianwang waved his hands cautiously: "How can Mr. Lu invite me to dinner? Let me invite you."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It's okay, I also grew up watching your TV movies, but unfortunately there are too few genuine CDs in the mainland, this meal, it's like paying back your movie ticket."

"If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful."

Liu Tianwang is now heavily in debt, and he would like to spend even a dollar in half, and the consumption of this five-star hotel is really not cheap. Lu Yiming wanted to treat him, but he only declined it symbolically, and then agreed.

Lu Yiming originally wanted to call Lin Yuzhen and the others, but Lin Yuzhen and the others didn't have mobile phones, so they had to wait here.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Tianwang and Zhang Guozhong were exchanging cups with Lu Yiming when Lin Yuzhen and others came over.

Seeing Lu Yiming talking and laughing happily with Liu Tianwang, they almost went crazy.

"Liu Tianwang!"

"It's really King Liu!"

Lu Yiming coughed lightly twice, signaling everyone to calm down, and then said: "Okay, what are you shouting about? Didn't you see that Liu Tianwang and I were drinking? Don't make noise. If you are not full, you can eat more, eat." Let’s talk when we’re full.”

Li Zhengkai muttered dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you eat with us just now? You also said that you came to clean up the work."

Lu Yiming looked calm: "Can I be like you? You are full after eating two bites, and I can eat two more bites when I am full. Liu Tianwang, these are the companions I told you just now. It's my classmate from the mainland, and your fan."

Liu Tianwang said politely to several people: "Hello."

"Hello."

"Ah, Hua Tsai, you are so handsome."

The girls were so excited that they stuttered when they spoke.

Lin Yuzhen looked at Lu Yiming, and asked fiercely: "Be honest, how did you and Liu Tianwang know each other? Why didn't you tell us before?"

Lu Yiming blinked, with an innocent face: "To be honest, I just met."

"I believe in you asshole."

"Liu Tianwang, can I take a photo with you?"

"I want Liu Tianwang's autographed album!"

With Liu Tianwang around, these female fans never stopped, and all of them turned into chattering larks.

For their request, Liu Tianwang naturally agreed to Lu Yiming's face, and asked Zhang Guozhong to bring his promotional photos and album CDs, and signed them on the spot for everyone.

Several people got the autographed photos they wanted, and Andy Lau even asked Zhang Guozhong to take a group photo for several people with his camera.

Wu Qiuya asked longingly: "Liu Tianwang, what is the entertainment industry like? I heard that the people in the entertainment industry are all glamorous, and they can easily make a lot of money by shooting casual advertisements. Look at my conditions, can I enter the entertainment circle?"

Liu Tianwang thought of himself who was heavily in debt, sighed, and began to complain: "People outside always think that the entertainment industry is glamorous, thinking that entering the entertainment industry can make money, but in fact it is not like that at all. There is a theory called survivorship bias, the reason why you see all the bright stars is because you don’t see the ones that are not.”

Lu Yiming also nodded when he heard the words: "Any industry follows the [-]-[-] rule, and the income presents a pyramid structure. What you see is only the jewel on the crown, and more are the people at the bottom. Any industry can Top people are all glamorous, even beggars are no exception."

"Indeed, Mr. Lu's words are very insightful."

In front of Lu Yiming, Liu Tianwang did not have any burden of being an idol, but told the truth: "It is not a good choice for ordinary people to enter the entertainment industry. You may have already achieved fame in the industry, but in the entertainment industry, if you don’t have noble people to support you, you can only be a walk-on for the rest of your life without being famous.”

Being in the entertainment industry, Liu Tianwang naturally knew that in this Vanity Fair, the people who are really qualified to make decisions are the capital and the rich.

The so-called celebrities are nothing but marionettes in the hands of capital.

As long as you dare to stand up and resist, what awaits you is snow storage and banning. Liu Tianwang himself has suffered in this regard, so he understands how deep the water in the entertainment industry is.

Although Liu Tianwang and Lu Yiming took turns persuading them, the girls' interest in the entertainment industry did not diminish. After all, ordinary people like them had very few opportunities to get in touch with the entertainment industry.The unknown always breeds curiosity.

Speaking of this, Liu Tianwang took the opportunity to say: "I also shot some sideshows and promotional videos here recently, are you interested in going to the studio with me to see? You young people look so beautiful , Maybe some talent scouts will come to contact you to help you make your debut."

"Yeah."

With such a good thing, the three girls will naturally not miss it.

Lu Yiming felt that idleness is idleness. Most of the schools in Xiangjiang do not have evening self-study, so you can go and have a look to gain knowledge.

"It's still relatively late today, or tomorrow afternoon, and you can send someone to pick us up after school in the afternoon."

"Okay. Let's get in touch tomorrow. Here's my business card."

"Well, here's my business card."

Liu Tianwang and Lu Yiming exchanged business cards, and Liu Tianwang left with Zhang Guozhong.

Back in the room, Zhang Guozhong said to Liu Tianwang with some gloom: "That's Lu Yiming, why are you talking to him about the entertainment industry? You have to talk to him about investment and find a way to get money from him."

Liu Tianwang smiled, shook his head and said, "How can we talk about money as soon as we meet? We have an appointment to visit the film crew tomorrow, so hurry up and make arrangements so that everyone can perform well."

In Hong Kong's current environment, there are fewer and fewer wealthy people investing in movies. Except for a few rich second-generation who want to become popular actresses, most of the film crews are unable to attract investment. dissolve.

The once-popular "Hollywood of the East" is now nothing but feathers.

Those who are still in this industry are nostalgic for the good old days, but they can't see where the future is going. They are like fish caught in a net. The more they struggle, the more desperate they become.

I don't know what Zhang Guozhong was thinking of, but he showed bitterness and sighed: "Hey, no matter, this situation can deceive one or the other."

Liu Tianwang scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about? Can filmmaking be called cheating? Alright, let's do our best, don't complain. Now that you have chosen this line of work, just grit your teeth and go on, maybe There is a smooth road at the end of the road.”

Zhang Guozhong sighed, and said in a desolate tone, "Yes, do your best. Anyway, people like us don't know anything except making movies. Even if we want to change jobs, we don't know what to do."

The filmmakers who are still persisting at this time all have obsessions in their hearts, and want to restore the glory and prosperity of the past.

Thinking back to the golden years when Xiangjiang movies were the most popular, Zhang Guozhong was shot to the head for this. If he were an ordinary person, he would have changed his career and quit.

On the other side, the few people who returned to the room were too excited to fall asleep, discussing each other one by one.

What happened tonight was really too magical for them.

Now not only Liu Tianwang's autograph is coming, but he has successfully taken a photo with him, and he can even visit the filming site tomorrow.

This kind of experience, in the past, is something they dare not even imagine.

Seeing Lu Yiming's indifferent expression, Lin Yuzhen asked curiously: "I took a photo with Liu Tianwang today, and tomorrow I can visit the filming place. Don't you have any curiosity about the entertainment industry?"

Lu Yiming thought of the bad things about the entertainment industry that he had heard before he was reborn, shook his head, and said solemnly: "Believe me, if you know what the real entertainment industry is, you will never be curious, and you will even think nausea."

Lin Yuzhen was quite puzzled when she heard the words: "Why do you feel sick?"

"What does this have to do with the entertainment industry?"

Teenagers were at the time when their curiosity was at its peak. When the three girls heard Lu Yiming's tone of voice, they immediately became very interested in the matter he was talking about.

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly: "Forget it, I'd better not talk about it, I believe you won't want to hear it."

"Well, if you don't tell me, how will you know if we want to hear it or not?"

"That's right, let's not talk about whetting our appetite, bad guy."

Surrounded by the three of Lin Yuzhen and the others, their heads were almost dizzy. Lu Yiming knew that if he didn't explain the matter clearly, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so he had to tell the truth: "Since you If you want to know so much, then I will simply tell you.”

"Ah this..."

"Really?"

With just this case, Lu Yiming almost directly destroyed all the girls' good feelings towards the entertainment industry.

For the first time, they knew that the so-called celebrities who were so glamorous on the big screen had such unsightly private lives behind them.

And the so-called entertainment circle was far from what they had imagined.

Celebrities are just playthings in the hands of the rich.

It is too easy for rich people to make someone popular, or to block someone, and it will only become easier in the future.
