Chapter 228 Cultural Influence
"Mr. Wakabayashi has already risen to the ranks of celebrities, so this matter is no longer a problem."
"And for those artists who have no hope of becoming famous in their lifetime, it has no impact at all."
Chen Bin said with a serious expression: "But right now is a critical period for Mr. Lin to make his way into the elite circles, which is why it is particularly difficult to deal with."
Lin Rui fell into thought, pondering, "Could it be that they want to recruit me to Luo Kingdom?"
"Ninety percent probability."
Chen Bin did not rule out any possibility.
However, both he and Lin Rui knew that Granger had come all the way to Xiazhou with the intention of trying to bribe them.
What would you choose?
Chen Bin asked a question, seemingly lost in thought.
"Brother Chen should know the answer, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry, right?"
Hearing Lin Rui's words, Chen Bin couldn't help but smile wryly.
He then walked to a distance, clearly intending to report to Li Donglai.
The call lasted quite a while. Clearly, the sudden attack from Luo Guo had disrupted some of Li Donglai's plans, so Chen Bin did not discuss a solution with Lin Rui until the call ended.
On the way home, Chen Bin started talking about things outside the region.
"So, if I refuse, the Kingdom of Luo will impose a complete ban on me?"
Lin Rui frowned slightly.
"Won't."
"Mr. Lin is, after all, a piano master. If Luo Guo were to ban him without a reason, it would inevitably trigger a condemnation from the piano community."
"Given that Mr. Lin has not established enough influence on the international stage, the Luo Kingdom only needs to unite with its allies to downplay Mr. Lin's information and secretly instruct cinemas in various countries to strictly prohibit them from cooperating with Tianrui. Then, it will be difficult for 'The Legend of 1900' to enter the international market."
Chen Bin spoke in a calm tone, as if he had long been accustomed to Luo Guo's domineering behavior.
"Does the International Federation of Arts condone this kind of unwarranted suppression?"
Lin Rui frowned slightly.
"It's not a matter of condoning them, because they're all birds of a feather."
Chen Bin's tone was sarcastic: "Over the years, art organizations led by Luo Guo have been suppressing Chinese artists internationally while simultaneously denouncing the cultural wall set up by China and vehemently criticizing China for closing itself off from the world."
"Isn't this just double standards?"
Lin Rui laughed angrily: "Now I can understand the actions of the China Literature and Art Association a little better."
"Cultural invasion".
Chen Bin sighed, “All countries are eyeing China’s huge market of hundreds of billions of people. This market is not limited to music. The cultural field covers too wide a range. If supervision is not in place, some misleading or even inflammatory cultural products will flow into China.”
"Literature and art should not exist within national borders, but some people use them to confuse the public and create chaos."
"These people try every means to send their cultural products to China, but at the same time try every means to suppress China's cultural exports. This is an overbearing act of forced buying and selling, which is despicable."
"Fifty years ago, various countries sent a large number of inflammatory cultural products to China. This was done very secretly until the authorities realized that these cultural products had already spread to the entire youth population, distorting their outlook on life and values."
"Think back to the cultural invasion that the Kingdom of Dian launched against Yuezhou a hundred years ago. Its negative impact directly led to the fact that Yuezhou still holds the national language in contempt today."
“Even in the hearts of a few Yuezhou people, the Mandarin Chinese is their mother tongue.”
"Culture influences not just one person, nor just one stage of life; it can change the environment in which a person grows up and even affect generations."
Chen Bin talked a lot; he, who is usually very sparing with words, became quite talkative for once.
Lin Rui listened quietly from the side, playing the role of a qualified listener.
