To be honest, although 'Stupid' had received good reviews in Europe and the US, Tangning was only a supporting character. Plus, her new film hadn't even been released yet, so it was normal for her to be ignored by the big names in the industry.
But, if it was someone else, they may have accepted the situation. But, she was Tangning... the Tangning that never admitted defeat in any situation.
3pm. Western and American actors began to arrive at the hotel. At this time, Tangning's Rolls Royce slowly came to a stop at the entrance.
Afterwards, Mo Ting, dressed in a retro suit, stepped out of the car first. Because of his dignified and dignified appearance, he quickly attracted the attention of the reporters. However, Mo Ting ignored the reporters standing at the entrance. He walked around the back of the car, opened the door for Tangning and helped her out.
"What's going on? Who is this? "
"Have you never seen this woman before?"
"I think she's Taka's co-star, the Asian woman?"
The American reporters spoke in English and expressed their doubts about Tangning's identity. But, they couldn't be blamed for everything. The main purpose of the event was to promote Taka, so Taka's agency placed Tangning's name in an inconspicuous position. Even the poster only had Taka on it. So, the media only knew that Taka had gone to Asia to film, but they had no idea who his co-star was.
After all, in their hearts, they did not have high hopes for Asian actors.
Tangning's English was good, so she naturally knew what the people around her were talking about. But, she did not show any stage fright. She simply hooked her arm around Mo Ting's as the couple entered the hotel together.
The reporters had yet to realize that the woman standing in front of them was the Asian model that started the Oriental Trend a year ago!
Tangning did not remove her jacket as soon as she stepped out of the car because Mo Ting didn't allow it. He didn't want her to endure the cold. Only after the couple stepped into the hotel did Mo Ting help Tangning remove her jacket and hand it to a waiter.
At this moment, a large group of guests had already gathered in the hotel. As the activities of the foreigners were relatively casual, the artists could choose their own style of activity.
Tangning's appearance, of course, attracted the attention of a group of foreigners. Underneath her jacket was a qipao. Compared to the luxurious palace hotel, Tangning looked unique and elegant.
Logically speaking, this was a European and American place, so it wasn't appropriate for Tangning to wear clothes like this. But, the Qipao she was wearing surprisingly matched the luxurious surroundings...
After all, apart from being an actress, there was also a model living inside her body. So, attracting attention was something she was very familiar with. At this time, in order to let her shine, Mo Ting naturally left her side and willingly became a supporting character. Even though, he wasn't as low profile as he thought he was...
This man was like a painting, it was impossible to ignore him.
However, the strange thing was, he had his own brilliance and Tangning had her own uniqueness. The couple attracted the attention of all the foreigners present.
Tangning understood what Mo Ting was thinking, so she hooked her arm around his and smiled gently, "I can't live without you by my side."
Mo Ting nodded his head before leading Tangning towards Taka...
"This Asian woman looks so familiar …"
"What a beautiful dress! It's so unique! Which designer designed this? "
"I've never liked Asian clothes because they are too complicated. But, seeing this Asian woman wearing it today, I want to try it out."
"Oh my God, this is going to cause a new wave of Asian fashion."
Discussions began to break out around them. The couple had caused quite a commotion. In the end, the couple approached Taka. Unlike his usual unruly self, Taka introduced his agency and team to Tangning in a serious manner.
"Taka, do these Asians speak English?"
Tangning smiled and replied naturally, "Of course."
The man standing in front of Taka was stunned for a moment before he smiled, "I am Taka's brother, Braun. I am also the boss of Global Agency."
"Hello, Mr. Braun. However, it seems you don't know who I am," Tangning replied straightforwardly. "I am the female lead of 'The Lost Relative', Tangning."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know who you were. Taka said he wanted to go to Asia, so I agreed to let him go to Beijing. But, I don't care what he acts in. After all, Asian acting is only so-so."
The blonde American man named Braun expressed his disdain towards Tangning.
"You have a lot of celebrities, but to be honest, you don't have any actors."
Hearing this, Tangning was not angry at all. She simply replied in fluent English, "According to Mr. Braun, you have a lot of actors."
"Of course. There are at least 10 people present that have won international acting awards. This is a stage that you Asians will never be able to step onto."
"Really?" Tangning asked. After looking around at her surroundings, she replied, "Apart from Jason, I don't know anyone else. Does Mr. Braun know what this means? It means that in the densely populated Asian region, no one remembers the faces that you mentioned. The only reason I know Jason is because he guest-starred as a villain in one of our Asian films … "
"In other words, the so-called 'good actors' in your eyes, when they see the Asian market …"
"… kneel down in front of profit."
Braun was stunned. He had never imagined that Downey's words would be so incisive.
"So, the 'good actors' that you speak of can't even export their culture?"
"That …" Braun was speechless.
"I wonder if Mr. Braun has heard of a rule in South Korea?" Tangning smiled confidently. She then continued, "Their country often exports third-rate products and leaves first-rate products for their own citizens to enjoy."
"I think this is probably a habit of the Asians, because it's the same in our country. The older generation of actors and artists are all inheriting our excellent culture. There's no need to please Europeans and Americans. Only third-rate actors like me need to go international..."
"The funniest thing is, you Americans were once popular for a person that couldn't even be considered an actor …"
Braun's expression was extremely awkward from Tangning's counterattack. However, Tangning had no intention of stopping as she continued to refute Braun, "Do you still remember the Oriental Trend?"
"How many people here have bought Oriental clothing or accessories for me back then?"
After hearing Tangning's words, a lot of people were surprised.
After all, the Oriental Trend had yet to end …
