Some people say that Hollywood is full of discrimination and is a place where white people are supreme.

Nan Yi sneered at this kind of remarks, "What, will the whites be the protagonist in Hong Kong films or the blacks be the protagonist? Or will the Japanese be the protagonist in the Anti-Japanese War film?

If you go to someone else's house as a guest, you have to sit in the main seat. Do you want to go to God?"

After getting off the plane, Nan Yi did not rush to go to 20th Century Fox, nor did he rush to find a place to live. He just asked the school beauty to follow him and the others to hide outside. He found a tour guide and driver to take a tour around Hollywood and see the other side of Hollywood.

The tour guide hired by Nan Yi is Chen Fang, who is a Chinese American. His parents opened a restaurant in Los Angeles and hoped that his son could inherit the family business and become a restaurant owner.

However, young people like freedom and do not want to be bound. Anyway, their home is very close to Hollywood, so Chen Fang went to Hollywood to try his luck to see if he could become a star, but he was not satisfied after spending several years in Hollywood.

Mainly, Chinese movies are mainly white and require too few Chinese actors. In addition to the previous years, Bruce Lee's kung fu movies entered Hollywood, causing a wave of movie viewing in Chinese. Some Chinese actors have some chance, but with Bruce Lee's death, everything returns to the starting point.

Now Chen Jian is still working as a part-time tour guide when he is playing a supporting role, otherwise he would not be able to support himself at all.

"The buildings in Hollywood are not very different from ordinary towns. In addition to the more crowded people, there are also billboards that look more modern, and there are more buildings than ordinary towns.

Nansheng, do you think this place is a bit unworthy of its name?

When I came here, I felt strange. Why is it like this in Hollywood, which is so famous all over the world? But after staying here for a long time, I don’t find it strange.

In another half an hour, we will be able to reach the prosperous place.”

While driving, Chen Fang introduced Hollywood to Nan Yi and the other two who pretended to be a foreign couple.

Nan Yi remained calm and regarded it as a novice who had come to Hollywood for the first time, looking forward to Chen Fang showing him the Hollywood in his eyes and the Hollywood from different angles.

After a while, Chen Fang brought Nan Yi and the others to the prosperous area of ​​Hollywood.

There are tall buildings and bars everywhere. Most of the people walking back and forth on the street have handsome faces. Whether men or women, they are pretty good.

Some women dress up very eye-catchingly. On January day, they wear something slightly bigger than a bra on their upper body and hot pants on their lower body. They are not afraid of the cold, so they just wander outside.

Seeing Nan Yi's eyes staring at the woman outside, Chen Fang said, "Nan Sheng, there are too many girls like this in Hollywood. If you want, you can deliver them to your room at night, and the price is not too expensive, you can handle them for thirty dollars."

Hearing Chen Fang's words, Nan Yi's face turned a little darker, "Feel, do you think the 'girlfriend' next to me does not exist?"

However, Nan Yi was not surprised by Chen Fang's enthusiasm for pimping. A wild coach and driver like Chen Fang was one of their wealth.

"Chen Fang, are there many girls you mentioned in Hollywood? And the price is so cheap? Logically speaking, such a girl's quality cannot be cheap no matter where she is. Hollywood is not so cheap, right?"

"I thought it was strange, right? I was also strange when I came here. In fact, this is also a unique situation here. Do you know what those girls do?"

"Come on Hollywood to find opportunities?"

Nan Yi couldn't pretend that he didn't understand anything. He really didn't understand this too much. Which film and television base is not accompanied by a "pink street"?

Apart from the top earners, actors in the film and television industry are not as high as those who earn a high salary as an ordinary office worker, and their expenses are much higher than those of ordinary people.

Especially for women, after all, the entertainment industry depends on their face, and investment in face and skin care is indispensable. This is a considerable expenditure. Just because the income from holding plates and holding coffee is often not enough to make ends meet, it is understandable to find a "side job".

"Nan Sheng, you guessed it right, these girls are all actors, they all come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams."

“For life?”

"That's right, the cost of living in Hollywood is not low, especially for girls, who have higher cost of living. Before becoming famous, they could only work in restaurants and cafes to earn a little income.

I have been here for five years and have heard of many girls sleeping with people in the circle. If they don’t sleep, they will have no chance at all. After sleeping, they will get some chance. Even so, they will have few opportunities.

Even if you get it, it won’t be a particularly important role, maybe just one or two lines. Moreover, such a role not only won’t get a pay, but may also have to pay some people.”

"Oh, that's really not easy."

Nan Yi responded, but he didn't agree.

The entertainment industry is the culmination of human sins. It is only occasionally and abnormal in other industries, but it becomes the norm in the entertainment industry, and then becomes the unspoken rule.

As far as Nan Yi knows, Hollywood has changed a lot in a good direction. In the past Hollywood blockbuster era, Hollywood was completely monopolized by the blockbuster system. At that time, the power of Hollywood executives was unimaginable.

In Nanyi's own 20th Century Fox, there is a legend about a girl at five o'clock. Every day after get off work at five o'clock, a beautiful actress was/voluntarily sent to the boss's office. If she disagrees, she will be banned immediately.

For example, Marlon Brando has the handsomeness that attracts girls. With his status in Hollywood, the girl throws herself into her arms and the boy is waiting to be snorted.

After all, he is a godfather who has a broad mind and will not be too terrified of gender.

This phenomenon has become better due to the disintegration of the studio system and the strengthening of the strength of the actors' union. However, many of the unspoken rules in Hollywood have become explicit rules, and they no longer hide the pipa and hide the face.

There are too many transactions in Hollywood in this regard. Even if you have become a big star, it is inevitable. This is the case in the entertainment industry. If you want a good opportunity, you have to pay the price.

It’s just that the transactions at the bottom of Hollywood are more and more abrupt, which conceals higher-level transactions.

Just like the actresses Chen Fang said, these girls are indeed actors and have registered in the Actors' Union. But such an identity is not popular in Hollywood. There are too many registered actors in Hollywood. Even if you have not made a movie, you can still register.

Of course, it is not that there is no article that has not made this phenomenon clean, saying that the unspoken rules are no longer popular in Hollywood. Hollywood pays more attention to the market. If the movies produced do not have a market, the money lost will be the investors.

The producers smash their jobs just for the sake of unspoken rules, and no one will do this stupidly.

However, as long as you have a certain understanding of the entertainment industry, you will naturally sneer at such articles.

Nanyi also felt that the unspoken rules were giving way to the market. Wall Street Capital has begun to enter Hollywood, and making money is the most important thing for investors.

But now, Nan Yi heard the version that Chen Fang told from another perspective.

Regarding the so-called actors, those actors come here with the dream of becoming a big Hollywood star. However, even if the stars have a high output, compared with the wider range of practitioners, the number of stars is pitifully small.

And there is another point, although there are many big investments and large-scale films every year in Hollywood that can also achieve super high box office, they are more small investments and small-cost films.

Similar to 20th Century Fox, it has to make at least 30 to 40 films every year, and among them, there are only two or three films a year, or even one film every two or three years.

It can be said that Hollywood film companies only bet on a few big-produced movies a year. If they win, they make a big profit. If they lose, they can barely survive with the returns of small-produced movies.

Big production and big investment companies pay attention to it. It can be said that any actor used as the protagonist will be strictly reviewed, and it is almost impossible to rely on unspoken rules to get to the top.

Only those who are qualified to get on the top can come over and accept the unspoken rules and then quickly get on the top.

At this time, the unspoken rule is just a remedy product.

However, those small productions and independent films are all C-level productions with investment of less than one million US dollars. Such movies have low investments and are impossible to hire big stars. They can only use second- and third-tier stars or newcomers, because everyone is similar, and it can be said that everyone is the same.

There are too many monks and too little porridge, so if you want to get to power, there are naturally unspoken rules.

What’s more important is that even if you include those small productions and independent films, Hollywood only produces hundreds of movies a year, thousands of movies, so how many actors are needed?

There are hundreds of thousands of movie actors registered in the Actors Association, among which there are at least more than 100,000 young and beautiful girls. This brings together beauties from all over the world.

In such a prosperous market, it is no longer like being able to gain a position in a movie with unspoken rules, because those celebrities play this. Even if you are a newcomer, you will not like the crew. Why should they give up the opportunity to become a star and come to be a newcomer?

At a time when unspoken rules become clear rules, unspoken rules are not very helpful to your career; of course, it does not mean that they are useless. It can only be said that this thing is equivalent to a stepping stone for Hollywood. If you don’t hand over the stepping stone, the door will not be open to you.

This is like working in a large company. Education is the stepping stone. Without education, you will not give you the opportunity to show your abilities.

Those who can enter the door, that is, those who can become actors, are actually equivalent to a part of life. It is not enough to have too much, nor can they be less.

When everyone is playing this game, it is basically difficult for newcomers to rely on this to get ahead.

The girls who come to Hollywood with their dreams of being a celebrity have won nothing after handing over their bottom line. Naturally, they will not give up so easily, or have fallen into a comfortable circle, which has formed the huge pinks on the streets of Hollywood.

Fortunately, in the eyes of Westerners, they do not value this kind of problem very much. No gossip media will dig out the past of a certain star, and they are more willing to focus on the news of "cheating".

For Westerners, promiscuity before marriage is nothing, but having a family still messes outside is a big deal.

Dream-chasers who come to Hollywood with their dreams of celebrities have no way to go before they have achieved anything. If they want to survive, they can only work odd jobs to earn money to support themselves.

Let me put it this way, in Hollywood, whether it is the street parking guy, the waiter in the restaurant, or the salesperson in the store, almost all actors registered in the Actors Guild work part-time.

Even so, many people still cannot find jobs and are forced to survive in Hollywood, and they are short of money and have to sell themselves as goods.

People with this idea are very common in Hollywood. Under fierce competition, oversupply and prices will naturally plummet.

They naturally knew that they would lose money in doing this, but with the support of their star dreams and the thought of making a temporary transition, they just persisted.

Only God knows whether you can get rewards until the end.

Every year, many handsome men and beautiful women come here to pursue their dreams of being a celebrity, and every day, many people leave in disgrace and disheartened.

After Chen Fang told the tricks here, Nan Yi confirmed his knowledge and coldly gave the word "cruel".

Only when you can interpret yourself as a silly and sweet actress on the screen is worthy of worship. You can go upstream with sewage and make a bloody path through intrigue. In the heart of the smart mind, you can still perform "silly". You can't just say a few times in this acting skill?

Hollywood is like a slot machine, swallowing countless slots [coins] before it will spit out a few lucky people and return home with the prize; few of those unfortunate people will think of them, and they will eventually be nameless and waste their youth.

When I returned to the entrance of the village, I saw Mr. Shu who treated me as a white moonlight was still bachelor. I made up my mind and silently burst into two grievances, doing the only mistake they had in their lives - marrying the wrong one.

When Nan Yi was feeling the unfair fate, Chen Fang said: "Nan Sheng, if it is just like this, it will be a better result for the girls."

"Oh, there are worse results?"

Nan Yi guessed that Chen Fang was about to say 'Saint Fernando Valley'.

"Yes, Nansheng, you just came to Hollywood, and there are many things you don't know. In fact, it's not just you, but anyone who hasn't learned about Hollywood carefully would never have imagined that Hollywood not only has the largest film creation base in the world, but also has the largest small film production base in the world."

Looking out the window, the school beauty who seemed to have not heard the two of them talk, Chen Fang suddenly whispered to Nan Yi: "Nansheng, if you walk on the street and have a star scout looking for you to make a movie, or tell you that there can be a more convenient way to help you become famous quickly in Hollywood, don't believe it."

"Is it a liar?"

"It's even more hateful than a liar. The liar will only cheat you for money, and they are the ones who cheat you. I was deceived by them. If I hadn't run fast, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Chen Fang said gritting his teeth: "Those so-called scouts are actually employees of small film companies. When they see handsome men and beautiful women coming to Hollywood, they come forward to talk. They take advantage of the young people's experience and ignorance and want to become famous, so they fooled them.
