Chapter 857: Making your own mom use a beauty trap, do you have no shame

Too low-key, Lin Yu is simply too low-key!

Liu Xiaoli glanced at the young talent beside her daughter.

She couldn't help but sigh; if only she had been born a few years earlier.

She also broke into a cold sweat for Liu Yifei; just taking Wen Yongshan beside her as an example, she was on par with her daughter in terms of height, temperament, and looks.

There were probably quite a few beauties like this around Lin Yu.

Although Liu Yifei was hailed as a celestial beauty in the domestic industry, was she really irreplaceable and better than all the rest?

Liu Xiaoli's usually proud self-esteem was shaken at this moment.

She asked herself: is her daughter really worthy of Lin Yu?

The resources the Liu family was proud of

seemed not worth mentioning in Lin Yu's eyes.

The Cheng Long International Film Festival came to an end amidst laughter and cheers.

Lin Yu was immediately invited by Cheng Long to the backstage lounge.

"Finally waited for you to come."

"Lin Yu, we are very interested in your previous adjustment methods for Hong Kong artists; can you explain in more detail?"

For someone at Cheng Long's level, fame and fortune no longer mattered.

What he needed to do now was to plan for the future.

To contribute to the environment of the Hong Kong entertainment industry and fulfill his own responsibilities.

"Big Brother Cheng Long, I was just talking casually before; don't take it seriously. Since you asked, I'll just share my thoughts."

"As far as the current Hong Kong entertainment industry is concerned, it's already hard to have a future."

"There's a gap in succession, a bit similar to our mainland industry, so I suggest not to vigorously support newcomers anymore."

After Lin Yu said this,

many Hong Kong star bigwigs present nodded in agreement.

It was indeed true.

The numerous new Hong Kong artists they had spent energy cultivating

were not only not outstanding, but they had no fighting spirit at all; even the desire to win was lost in their eyes.

Back in the day, the actors who came out of TVB—which one of them didn't work day and night, fighting for their lives on set to shine?

But now, as material conditions have improved, those who can be actors and singers are all children of wealthy families.

Expecting them to work hard to train themselves is simply unrealistic.

"Then what should we do? Is our Hong Kong industry really hopeless?"

Tony Leung Ka-fai, as the "thousand-faced" Best Actor, also sighed endlessly.

Once upon a time, Tony Leung's era was definitely full of stars; every one of them was a monster-level pillar.

At that time, talent alone wasn't enough.

It also required full tenacity and effort.

Talent and effort still weren't enough; it also required the support of benefactors and deep luck to crawl out a path of survival from the sea of corpses and blood of the TVB training class.

Unlike now, where you can get a ten-million-dollar paycheck just by getting plastic surgery and making faces—it's truly hard to compliment and is a source of shame.

"Can't say it like that either."

"Since newcomers aren't working, why don't we cherish the veteran actors currently in Hong Kong?"

Lin Yu smiled and said slowly.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, confused and puzzled.

"Lin Yu, are you serious?"

"We don't look at 20-year-olds; do audiences like us 50 or 60-year-old old men?"

Eric Tsang asked suspiciously in his duck-like voice.

"Of course."

"The seniors have solid professional qualities. Since there's no food to eat in Hong Kong, why not come to our mainland to achieve dimensionality reduction strikes?"

"Times have changed; it's no longer a situation where movies dominate. If movies don't work, we shoot TV dramas; if TV dramas don't work, we shoot short films; if short films don't work, we go on variety shows."

"Never underestimate the impression and memories that Hong Kong veteran actors have left for our younger generation."

"This is far more practical than cultivating newcomers and digging for fresh blood."

Lin Yu spoke with certainty and force.

These words made everyone fall into deep thought.

"That's right! That's indeed the logic."

"Agreed! Mainland audiences are actually much more tolerant than ours in Hong Kong, and the market is larger. I think the future path should be to turn to the mainland."

Charmaine Sheh and Lin Feng, the two middle-aged representatives, nodded in agreement.

They had collaborated with many mainland directors and production teams before.

The process was very harmonious.

Mainland directors appreciated the quality and attitude of Hong Kong actors!

And Hong Kong actors and artists could also get generous rewards—it was simply a win-win cooperation method.

"Good, I will convey this opinion to the Hong Kong Performing Artists Guild and let everyone discuss it."

"Lin Yu, if you need any help in the future, just say so."

Cheng Long said heartily with a smile.

His appreciation for Lin Yu increased by a few more points. ===== CHAPTER 858 =====
