After pondering for a moment, Mu Rong looked at Xiang Huaqiang and asked: "Xiang Sheng, if I guessed correctly, you helped Ah Zuo to win the championship of this competition in order to push him into the entertainment industry and promote him as a kung fu star, right?" ”

"That's right."

Xiang Huaqiang admitted frankly.

Nodding, Mu Rong asked again: "If I guessed correctly, Xiang Sheng's purpose for you to praise Ah Zuo as a kung fu star is also to open up the mainland market, right?" ”

Xiang Huaqiang glanced at him with some surprise, but still nodded and admitted: "Yes." ”

After a pause, he asked rhetorically, "What do you want to say?" ”

Mu Rong smiled and asked, "Then Xiang Sheng, do you think Ah Zuo can be popular?" ”

Hearing his words, Xiang Huaqiang's eyes suddenly froze.

"Or in other words, do you think Ah Zuo can open the mainland market?"

Xiang Huaqiang stared at him and asked coldly, "What do you mean?" ”

"Xiang Sheng, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to belittle Ah Zuo or you."

Mu Rong said in a deep voice: "You are a senior in the entertainment industry, and you have acted in dramas for many years, I think you must know that an actor who can become popular must have enough innate conditions, and the first primary condition is to be beautiful enough." ”

Xiang Huaqiang frowned, but did not refute his words.

Mu Rong continued: "Among the early actors in this batch, like Hua Zai, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Runfa, one is counted as one, all of them are beautiful boys, and they are all actors who really have a market in the mainland. ”

Glancing at Xiang Huaqiang's face, Mu Rong said seriously: "I don't want to attack him personally, but Ah Zuo's appearance is really not beautiful enough, and he can't be the male number one." ”

Xiang Huaqiang looked embarrassed and looked at him coldly, but he still didn't refute his words.

Xiang Zuo is not a pretty boy in the first place, and there is nothing to deny this.

Even if Xiang Huaqiang himself was an actor, when he was an actor, he always played supporting roles such as cold-faced killers to match the protagonists, such as Long Wu in God of Gamblers.

His face is angular, his cheekbones are high, and his eyes are triangular, which is a typical fierce face.

Xiang Zuo inherited his genes, and his appearance naturally couldn't see anywhere, and he even looked a little more fierce than him.

However, Xiang Huaqiang did not agree with Mu Rong's last sentence.

"An actor is a fan, as long as he is willing to invest in the source, he is a dog, and I can also make it a star!"

Xiang Huaqiang stared at Mu Rong, his tone meaningful.

"Haha! If it's a dog, it's really possible. ”

Mu Rong smiled, and his voice changed: "But people's words may not be true." ”

Seeing that Xiang Huaqiang's face was becoming more and more embarrassed, Mu Rong stopped going around in circles, and said: "I was born in opera, and there is an old saying in the opera industry, which tells the little horn to rely on support, and the big horn to rely on life."

Xiang Sheng, if you just want to make Ah Zuo a little star in the circle, then of course there is no problem, with your escort, how can Ah Zuo have something to eat in the circle.

But if you want to rely on Ah Zuo to open the mainland market, then I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, because that is something that only famous actors can do, and Ah Zuo doesn't have that life. ”

"Why?"

Xiang Huaqiang pinched off his cigar, and his face was a little gloomy.

"Because he is your son."

Mu Rong looked at him calmly, and did not shy away from it: "Xiang Sheng, don't blame me for speaking ugly, but this is a fact, in the mainland, it is still very important to have a clean butt." ”

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Xiang Huaqiang threw the cigar into the ashtray and said irritably: "I have already washed my hands in the golden basin, and I don't care about the affairs of the club anymore, why do you still hold on to the past?" ”

"This kind of thing can't be washed away."

Mu Rong shook his head and said: "If you stay in Xiangjiang honestly for development, no one will care about you in this acre and three points of land, but if you want to go to the mainland to make money, then you have to comply with the rules of the mainland." ”

"I'm already following the rules of the mainland!"

Xiang Huaqiang frowned.

"No, you don't."

Mu Rong looked at him calmly: "You are not our friend yet. ”

Xiang Huaqiang was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Mu Rong, his eyes level.

"Why am I not your friend yet?"

He asked earnestly.

"Because you just want to make money from us, you don't want to build with us."

Mu Rong looked into his eyes: "In your heart, you still regard yourself as a Xiangjiang person, not a Chinese person." ”

"Of course I'm Chinese!"

Xiang Huaqiang frowned and said: "I am from Guangdong, born in Lufeng, why am I not Chinese?" ”

"Have you ever been back?"

Mu Rong didn't say a word, and asked directly.

"I..."

Xiang Huaqiang was suddenly suffocated.

"Are your roots there? Have you ever drunk the water there? Have you ever eaten there? Ever breathed the air there? ”

Mu Rong looked at him and asked, "You said that you are from Lufeng, have you paid taxes for Lufeng?" Have you contributed anything to your hometown? When you complain that the state does not accept you, do you really accept the state? ”

Rumble!

Listening to his words, Xiang Huaqiang suddenly seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt, and his thoughts were scattered.

Seeing that he was in thought, Mu Rong smiled and asked: "Mr. Run Run Shaw is also from Xiangjiang, but why does he have unimpeded passage on the mainland?" ”

Xiang Huaqiang gradually came back to his senses.

Glancing at Mu Rong deeply, he said with a straight face: "I have also thought about the road of charity, but this does not affect my praise of Azuo, right?" ”

"Of course not."

Mu Rong spread his hands: "It is natural for a father to take care of his son, but it is not cost-effective." ”

Xiang Huaqiang was puzzled: "What's not cost-effective?" ”

As he spoke, he urged impatiently: "Don't go around in circles, just say what you have to say." ”

"Haha!"

Mu Rong laughed, and then reminded: "If you praise one Azuo, it is better to praise ten mainland actors, and it is better to praise a hundred mainland newcomers." ”

Hearing his words, Xiang Huaqiang was like an enlightenment, and instantly opened his mind.

That's right!

He has always adhered to the thinking of a family community, even if he is exploring the mainland market, he is also bent on relying on his own people to win the world.

But with the same resources and money used to support Ah Zuo, he can train artists from ten continents.

And the meaning of praising oneself and praising mainland artists is completely different.

He praised Ah Zuo, which is equivalent to the fact that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the benefits are all his own.

But if mainland artists are praised, the mainland's capital can also come in and get a piece of the pie, and the effect is definitely different!

Looking at his increasingly excited look, Mu Rong couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After all, the people of Xiangjiang are still too petty, and this kind of simple truth actually needs him to remind him for so long.

You want to go to the mainland to eat mixed rice, and you want to eat all by yourself, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

This is the difference between the way of thinking of mainlanders and Xiangjiang people, who stay in a small place like Xiangjiang for a long time, and their thinking will be limited and develop in the direction of involution and nest fighting.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Xiang Huaqiang finally guessed something.

Mu Rong smiled slightly and explained: "Xiang Sheng, now there is an opportunity, Huayi Film and Television, that is, my previous owner, the recent situation may not be good, one of the founders plans to split up and leave with many artists, are you interested in chatting with her?" Those are all the top artists in the mainland entertainment industry! ”
