Eighteen years ago, musician Li Tian transmigrated to Earth and became a minor actor. After enduring forty years of hardship, he finally became a veteran actor. Due to an accident, Li Tian returned...
The performances by South Korean singers on the Lantern Festival Gala stage were all created by Li Tian.
As the energetic music started, it set the rhythm for the entire venue, and the audience swayed to the music.
Those women who have undergone cosmetic surgery still have quite a few admirers in Canglan.
Watching these people perform on stage now makes Li Tian feel like he's back in the era when the Korean wave was all over the place.
It has to be admitted that South Korea is quite talented in singing and dancing.
"Hmm, the performance was pretty good!" Li Tian praised.
After watching their performance, Ye Lan nodded and said, "I hope they can take advantage of the gala to have a better future in Canglan!"
Li Tian understood what Ye Lan meant; these Koreans didn't have much room for development in their country.
After all, South Korea is only so big; it simply can't accommodate so many of their celebrities.
But Canglan market is their ultimate target.
"How's the filming going with the script I gave you?" Li Tian asked.
"Yeah, it should be released in about a month!"
Ye Lan was quite concerned about this matter, so she immediately replied when Li Tian asked.
"So fast? Alan, this script is pretty good, we can't film it too carelessly!" Li Tian said with some concern.
"Don't worry! Although it's fast, the quality is absolutely guaranteed. Filming over there is much faster than in Canglan!" Ye Lan explained.
"Huh? Faster than Canglan?" Li Tian looked at Yelan with some confusion.
Seeing that only he, Asu, and Li Tian were in the room, Ye Lan said directly, "Filming over there is different from Canglan; there are no human rights there!"
"What do you mean?" Li Tian still didn't understand Ye Lan's meaning.
Ye Lan directly revealed the inside story: "They don't care about the actors' feelings at all when filming there, and the competition is fierce. Many people are very desperate to get ahead, which is completely the opposite of the domestic entertainment industry!"
"You still often see diva-like behavior in the Chinese entertainment industry, but in South Korea, if you act like a diva, sorry, you'll have to step aside! There are plenty of people who will take your place!"
"So in South Korea, the intense competition among artists under such circumstances is something Canglan could not have imagined."
Li Tian had a deep understanding of what Ye Lan was saying. He had encountered a similar situation when filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
Ye Lan continued, "The entertainment industry in China is too comfortable. Look at South Korea, many people are willing to do anything to get a role and climb the ladder!"
Li Tian gave Ye Lan a malicious look, the meaning of which was quite clear.
Ye Lan understood the meaning in Li Tian's eyes and said, "Pretty much. Capital controls everything over there, much more so than in China!"
"Is nobody in charge?" Li Tian asked.
Ye Lan smiled and said, "The entire country is controlled by conglomerates. Tell me, who dares to interfere? Even their top leader has to consider the feelings of the conglomerates!"
"Given this situation, who can control it? So these people have all seen through it all. Since they can't change society, they'll change themselves. That's why I say these people are really working hard."
Li Tian nodded, feeling that compared to South Korea, it was indeed too easy for celebrities in China to make money.
Just a few endorsements and you're set for life. Yet some people are still not satisfied and are thinking about tax evasion!
Ye Lan continued, "So, the script you gave me, I can finish filming it for you in less than forty days!"
Upon hearing Ye Lan's words, Li Tian also sighed at the hardships faced by the actors there, lamenting how little human rights they had.
"These people are really pitiful!" Li Tian sighed.
"Hehe, that's fate. Now I've given them a better opportunity and a better platform. Let's see if they can seize it!"
Looking at Ye Lan, Li Tian felt that this guy had finally revealed his true nature; he was a completely evil capitalist and a vampire.
Ye Lan noticed the way Li Tian was looking at her and said, "What are you looking at? I'm paying to train them so I can use them to make money, right?"
Seeing Ye Lan's matter-of-fact attitude, Li Tian teased, "Do you know what profession I just thought of?"
Ye Lan looked at Li Tian with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's your profession?"
Li Tian forced a laugh and said, "What you just said reminded me of brothels in the past. You seem just like those wicked madams!"
"Tch!" Ye Lan glanced at Li Tian with disdain, not too angry.
"You think the earliest form of the entertainment industry developed from somewhere? Let me tell you, the earliest entertainment industry was brothels and opera troupes!"
Hearing Ye Lan's words, Li Tian was also taken aback, feeling that her words made some sense.
But when she thought about how she came from a family of opera performers, such a prestigious family, how could she be compared to a brothel?
But in an instant, Li Tian thought of a saying: "Prostitutes are heartless, actors are ungrateful."
This statement seems to link the two professions together, and Li Tian has no way to refute Ye Lan's point of view.
He also knew that Ye Lan came from one of the five great families, so it was understandable that he looked down on actors.
In the past, actors were considered the lowest of the low, which is why the old master of the Ye family wanted to break his own legs after learning that Ye Yu was with him.
Ye Lan didn't notice Li Tian's reaction and continued, "This is because these people are being elevated to such high status that many haven't recognized their true place! They get cocky after making a little money and can't even tell east from west..."
"Alright, alright, have you forgotten my background?!"
