Chapter 405 A new era
Just the few photos posted on ins are enough to make domestic entertainment stars envious and jealous.
Delphine Arnault, Jennifer Grant, Vivian Newman, Sophia Ward...all of them are big figures with more famous names than each other, and they are also people that they cannot reach even if they stand on tiptoe.
Therefore, although there are many stars from the domestic entertainment industry participating in the Paris Fashion Week, most of the attention is attracted by Su Lingxi alone - after all, looking across Asia, no one is treated better than her to watch the show, and no one has a better network of contacts than her.
After this incident, many people truly realized that Su Lingxi had become an international movie star who had entered the mainstream Hollywood circle.
She is no longer competing on the same level as other actresses in the domestic entertainment industry. Even Song Jinhe's current star power and international influence are far less than hers, not to mention those 00s beauties.
The unfriendly attitude of European and American markets towards Asians is like a barrier that is sometimes there and sometimes not.
Looking at the development of the Chinese film industry from its inception in the last century to the present day, no actor has been able to truly break this barrier.
Su Lingxi was the first one.
She overcame differences in skin color, language problems, and aesthetic differences, and entered the vision of European and American audiences with a powerful attitude and gained recognition.
It can be said that Su Lingxi’s current level has surpassed Ruan Tang, who discovered and cultivated her.
Although Ruan Tang made many achievements in the field of art films, he was never able to enter the mainstream circle of the Hollywood film industry, nor did he make a movie like "Freedom Road" that became a global hit and caused a popular craze in Europe and the United States.
Therefore, her box office appeal overseas is far less than that of Su Lingxi.
After understanding these, fans of other domestic entertainment fan circles will no longer want to compete with each other.
The pollen were only competing on performance, status, endorsements, fashion treatment and a host of other things. Su Lingxi clearly outshined her own boss in every aspect, so comparing them was just boring and embarrassing in the eyes of others.
People tend to be jealous of the people around them because they feel that their abilities are at the same level as their own.
But most people will not be jealous of people who are many times better than themselves.
This is Xia Yuqing’s mentality at the moment.
She still wanted to strive for the best, but she no longer considered Su Lingxi a competitor.
It’s not because I have lost my ambition, but because I have learned to judge the situation.
People's experiences are destined to be different. Even if they are of similar age and attend the same university, it does not mean that she can replicate the other's life trajectory.
If you insist on comparing yourself with others, you will only bring humiliation upon yourself.
Therefore, even though other people around her were whispering about Su Lingxi's gossip, Xia Yuqing just sat aside with her eyes closed, and had no interest in joining in.
"Tianyi Entertainment has become a complete mess now. Have you heard? Meng Rui finally negotiated for the October issue of Figaro some time ago. Everything was ready and she was just waiting for the shoot. But with just one word from that person, the cover candidate was replaced by Shen Weiwei. Tsk tsk tsk, Meng Rui was so embarrassed."
"I remember that there seemed to be some conflicts between the two of them in the early days. I guess they had been enemies for a long time."
"That's not true. Besides, that person has a really strong background. Meng Rui is not a soft persimmon without a background. When facing her, all we can do is smile."
"There's nothing we can do. She's making money in US dollars now. Aren't all the big directors in the film industry lining up to give her scripts? Han Lina's background is no worse than hers, but she can only act in scripts she doesn't want, not to mention others."
"Alas, times have really changed. I think Song Jinhe's momentum in the past two years seems to be far inferior to that guy."
"She is getting older, and the situation is stronger than she is. She is a post-00s girl, and I don't know how high she can go in the future. She may even win an Oscar. By then, we can be said to have witnessed history."
"But then again, although her acting is good, isn't her career in Hollywood too smooth? Her first Hollywood movie as a leading actress has become a global hit. Who is supporting her behind the scenes?"
"Who knows? Anyway, I think those rumors are not groundless. Let's not talk about Kevin Cowan, didn't Alex and that guy also show his affection to others in the variety show?"
"Alex is quite handsome, but it's a pity that he is rumored to be a hot-tempered but cold-hearted girl. I'm afraid he will be hard to pursue."
"Anyway, the two of them seem to be a good match, but there seem to be a lot of men who want to get close to that person. The competition is fierce."
"No wonder that group of people are vying to get in touch with her... I heard that she recommended an Asian model to Dior some time ago. That guy is really lucky. Why don't I have such good luck?"
"Don't even mention you. Who in the industry doesn't want to have a good relationship with that girl? She just appeared on the cover of French VOGUE in September, and then she appeared on the cover of Japanese ELLE in October. She's definitely going to sweep across Asia..."
Those people were probably the staff who came to prepare for GUCCI's offline event. They were related to the fashion circle and knew a lot of gossip. It was inevitable that they would gossip when they got together to chat.
Xia Yuqing remained expressionless, but secretly pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, until those people gradually walked away, then she withdrew her attention.
However, her eyes were still closed, and her mind had drifted away to who knows where.
She still remembered that a few years ago, she also attended GUCCI's new product launch in the capital. At that time, "Red Careerist" had just been released, and Su Lingxi was full of energy and vitality. Although her every move still had the immaturity of youth, she had already begun to possess the aura of an international superstar today, reserved and elegant, making people feel that she should not be neglected.
At that time, she still wanted to compete with her, and she paid close attention to her throughout the entire event. Naturally, she also noticed how easily she handled the reporters' questions.
If you think about it carefully, the gap between people actually appeared at the very beginning.
It's just that she didn't notice it at that time, or even if she noticed it, she didn't think it was a big deal, and she didn't think she was inferior to the other person at all.
Little do they know that, in fact, their own character, ability and means are inferior to others, and their vision is blinded by the temporary success.
But now, they have already left me far behind.
Only she remained there.
She heard the assistant's voice reminding her to wait in the backstage. Xia Yuqing opened her eyes, broke free from her memories, and let out a long sigh.
It is both fortunate and unfortunate.
I lived in the same era as such a person.
