Although the invitation from Hollywood was unexpected, it was not too surprising or unbelievable. Nowadays, it was no longer a dream to play a supporting role in a Hollywood blockbuster.
With the development of China's economy and the prosperity of the people, China's market share in the world was getting bigger and bigger. For example, the sales of Apple's mobile phones in China even exceeded those in the US. This was not only reflected in the commerce industry, but also in the film industry.
A Hollywood blockbuster could easily sell a few billion yuan or even billions of yuan at the box office in China. There was a classic saying in the Hollywood film industry: Box office sales are not good? It's okay, we still have China.
Due to such an environment, Hollywood commercial films were paying more attention to the China market. In order to cater to the market and open up the China market, they frequently invited Chinese stars to join them. This was especially true for disaster films. The cities were flooded, burned, and destroyed by earthquakes. Hong Kong, China, could not escape.
In addition, the script for the role was sent from the other side. Qin Bao Bao read it first before showing it to her brother.
"The role is not bad, the third female lead. It's not considered a walk-on role." Qin Ze said, "Do you want to go?"
"What do you think?" Qin Bao Bao asked for her brother's opinion out of habit.
"I'm asking you. If you want to go, then go."
"I want to go, but I feel that the salary is too little. Although it's a supporting role, it's not even half of the salary in China."
His sister was obviously arrogant. She did not care about an income of more than 10 million yuan. After winning the Best Actress award, her salary was as high as 40 million yuan (for a movie). Only TV dramas paid more than 100 million yuan. Currently, no one dared to pay 100 million yuan for a movie.
A salary of 40 million yuan could be ranked in the top five in the Chinese entertainment industry. Among the female stars, she deserved to be number one. It was a very scary achievement.
In the past and present, in the history of the entertainment industry, female stars' salaries were always lower than male stars. The difference between the two was almost 50%. Sometimes, female stars could not even enter the top ten in terms of salary.
However, no matter how high Qin Bao Bao's salary was, it was useless. She refused to act in passionate scenes (holding hands is the limit), which stopped most commercial films. If it was a literary film, they could not afford to hire her. If it was a comedy, she did not know how to act.
Qin Bao Bao's funny cells?
This was a joke in itself.
Not at all.
The benefits of her rising social status were not in terms of her pay, but the soaring endorsement and commercial fees.
"It's not a small amount. I've done my research. A Hollywood superstar's salary for a cameo is between 3 million to 20 million USD. Your role is only for 15 minutes, and the pay is 2.5 million USD. The other party is giving you a lot of face. "Qin Ze said," If there is no problem with the audition, the role will be secured. "
The other party invited her to an audition.
People in the country had always criticized celebrities for being paid too much. They even said that Hollywood stars were so cheap. They could just say it anonymously online. If they used their real names, they would be laughed at by people who knew the industry.
Everyone's pay was in the tens of millions, but other people's pay was in USD, while yours was in RMB. The pay of the big shots in the country could not be compared to that of Hollywood. The difference was too great.
Then why was the production cost in China so low? This was a very strange phenomenon.
Due to the large population base, there were all kinds of people. Therefore, celebrities became famous very quickly and could rise rapidly. Therefore, there was a phenomenon. People who shouted on microphones could change careers to film. People who sang songs on live broadcasts could also change careers to film. They could do a few exaggerated actions, shout a few jingles, and f * ck their sisters-in-law in their free time. In short, anyone could become a celebrity.
Through the operation of capital, they could increase the number of views, increase their popularity, create a bubble in their social status, and then drive up their pay. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry dared to ask for a few million USD.
They found a godfather to do plastic surgery, spent some money to package them, and then became popular. This was a very rare thing in foreign countries.
In the entertainment industry, celebrities who did not have any acting skills could easily become popular with packaging and asking for sky-high pay were everywhere.
For the same ten celebrities, only the lead actor's pay was especially high. In the country, the ten celebrities' pay was especially high, and the proportion of the celebrities' pay was imaginable.
In terms of integrity in the industry, the integrity in the country was like the top celebrities' pay. It was far from Hollywood.
But think about it, why could any weirdo become a celebrity?
In the end, everyone had to bear the blame.
"Then let's go. Can you increase the price?" Qin Bao Bao asked.
She was conflicted. As a celebrity's professional integrity, although the opportunity to act in Hollywood was not as precious as in the 80s and 90s, it was still very helpful to one's reputation. Hollywood needed domestic celebrities to increase the audience's favorability, and celebrities also wanted to ride on the popularity of big movies to increase their fame.
However, as a maggot who was not so career-minded, Bao Bao felt that she could stay at home to accompany her brother and fight the wolf in the house. Her life was quite comfortable, and she did not want to fly thousands of miles to America.
"Help me decide."
"If you increase the price too much, we might break up. If it's too little, it's meaningless. Actually, you just want to slack off, but you also yearn for the legendary Hollywood, so you're conflicted and let me decide." Qin Ze hit the nail on the head.
Qin Bao Bao was speechless.
She blinked her eyes in shock. The thing that was conflicted in her heart was said by her brother in an instant. No one knew her better than her brother.
Qin Ze said proudly, "I've long known your depth. Go on, it's good to see it."
She would treat it as a resume to enrich her career as an actor.
Three days later, the flight to America soared into the sky. The wings swept across the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
Qin Ze accompanied his sister to America, just like parents sending their children to school for the first time. His parents were right. In fact, the one who doted on his sister the most was Qin Ze, since they were young. Otherwise, why would his sister rely on him so much?
In addition, there was a small team of 20 people accompanying them, including two legal officers.
International flights were much more spacious and luxurious than domestic flights. This was especially obvious in the first-class cabin. There were many foreigners on the plane. Even Qin Ze, who grew up in Shanghai, rarely saw so many foreigners at once.
He was looking forward to the trip to America and was full of fighting spirit. When he went to the toilet, he would no longer feel lonely. Let's compete, foreigners!
Not only could he compete to his heart's content, but his sister would also not feel lonely with big breasts. There were Class D experts everywhere, and Class E experts were as common as dogs. Western women were all big breasts and had nice names. He really wanted to see them.
Qin Bao Bao did not go abroad many times. He was full of expectations. It would be great if this woman was not in the first-class cabin.
Su Yu said gently, "Azé, send me to the train later."
Qin Ze said, "Oh, no problem."
This gentle tone like that of a girlfriend made Qin Bao Bao particularly uncomfortable. He rolled his eyes. "Is this your first time on the train? Is this your first time going to Los Angeles? You're asking someone to send you."
Su Yu: "I didn't ask you to send me. Please don't send me. Thank you."
Qin Bao Bao laughed. "Be careful, don't let people rob you."
Su Yu retorted. "I'll give you the same words. The entertainment circle here is not clean. I've been in America for so many years. Do you need to worry?"
When Su Yu heard that Qin Ze and Qin Baobao were coming to the United States, she followed them. The reason was that she wanted to see her old friends who she had not seen for a long time. Anyway, she had been in the United States for many years, so she still had some close friends.
"By the way, Su Yu, let me ask you something." Qin Ze quickly changed the topic. "Is the security in America really so bad? You can't go out in the middle of the night? My sister and I are new here. Tell me. "
Su Yu: "It's not that dangerous. Otherwise, I'm more beautiful than a flower. I'm as beautiful as a fairy. Wouldn't I be finished? It also depends on the place. It's really dangerous to go out in the middle of the night in some places, but it's fine to wander around in the middle of the night in some places. "
She organized her words for a moment. "The poor are different. Don't go to bars and nightclubs at night, especially a flirtatious woman like your sister."
"You're the flirtatious one."
Su Yu took the opportunity to belittle, and Qin Bao Bao took the opportunity to fight back.
Su Yu ignored her and continued, "The overall environment of Los Angeles is very general. I don't recommend you go out to experience the city's nightlife at night unless there is a local guide. If you don't go to a particularly messy and remote place, there is basically no danger. America is not so dangerous. The reason why you have this idea is probably because guns are not banned there. After all, if a car suddenly stops on the road, and then points a gun at your head, it's scary to think about it. There are still a lot of robberies with guns, and there are also a lot of forced sex. The media over there is relatively free and high exposure. There are also a lot of robberies and forced sex in our country, but most of them are not exposed. "
Su Yu threw out a "you know" reason.
Foreign countries are full of danger and foreign countries have a full moon.
His mother was born to escape. Qin Ze was so scared that his little hand trembled. "Su Yu, don't die. Quickly recite the core values of socialism ten times."
Su Yu, who had been in America for many years, curled her lips in disdain.
This topic made Qin Ze frightened and changed the topic again: "Sister, reading a novel, I recommend it."
Qin Bao Bao didn't look up and looked at the mobile phone: "" My Sister is a Big Star ", very good."
Qin Ze: "Online novels are the same as slang songs, and the tone is the same."
Qin Bao Bao: "This book is not the same. The author is a cultured person. He can make up idioms."
"Oh, I'll go to the bathroom." Qin Ze got up and went to the bathroom.
About ten minutes later, when he was reading with relish, he received a message from Su Yu: "Husband, I haven't had sex for many days. Let's do it."
Is this … going to be a thousand miles a day?
Qin Ze: "Don't make trouble, on the plane."
Su Yu: "It's exciting on the plane, right? I'll come quietly and make sure your sister doesn't find out. "
Qin Ze: "You can tease me. When I have time in Hollywood, I'll make you doubt your life."
Su Yu sent a playful emoji.

PS: I'll take a day off tomorrow. I'll spend some time on the outline of the trip to America, as well as the ending outline. This book will probably end at the end of June.
If the update wasn't so bad, at the end of May, at this time, it should be finished.
However, the update is bad, and the results plummeted. Although it's sad and disappointed, it's also a good thing for me. I won't be remembered so much. After all, no one will care about a book that can't be found in the rankings. It was because my results were too good that I fell to this point today.
Would you believe it? I was forced to do the outline of this book three times. The whole paragraph collapsed.
Today, the book just happened to be one year old, so I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Along the way, my mentality collapsed several times, so that I can't find the original feeling. Every time I think about it, I want to cry, sob sob.
This book is not long, there are too many external factors. In the final analysis, it's a man's romance with red eyes!!!!
Damn it.
