Chapter 478: You Don''t Have Real Actors


    In all honesty, although ''Stupid'' received good feedback in the Western markets, Tangning was still


    just a supporting character and her new movie had not been released yet, so it was normal for the


    Westerners to look down on her.


    If it was someone else, they would have epted this treatment, but she was Tangning...the


    Tangning that never admitted defeat.


    3pm. Plenty of European and American actors started piling into the hotel. At this time, Tangning''s


    Rolls Royce also arrived at the entrance.


    Mo Ting first stepped out of the car wearing a retro suit. Because of his natural air of authority and


    n.o.bility, the Western reporters were quickly drawn to his presence. However, Mo Tingpletely


    ignored them as he walked around the front of the car to the pa.s.senger''s side and opened the


    door for Tangning. He then helped her out.


    "What''s happening? Who is this?"


    "I''ve never seen this woman before."


    "It looks like Taka''s acting partner, the Asian woman."


    The American reporters expressed their doubt towards Tangning''s ident.i.ty in English. They


    couldn''t be med though, because Taka was the main drawing point of the event. This was the


    reason why Taka''s agency ced Tangning''s name in a not so obvious part of the event poster. In


    fact, only Taka appeared on the poster. So the media were well aware that Taka went to partake in


    an Asian film, but they had no idea who he acted alongside.


    After all, in their eyes, they did not view highly on the acting ability of Asian actors anyway.


    Tangning was fluent in English, so she naturally knew what everyone was discussing. But, she did


    not get intimidated. She simply hooked her arm on Mo Ting''s and entered the hotel.


    Up until this point, the reporters had not yet realized that the woman in front of them was the same


    woman that had ignited the Oriental Trend a year ago!


    After stepping out of the car, Tangning did not immediately remove her coat; Mo Ting did not allow it


    because he did not want her to catch a cold. It was only after they stepped into the hotel that Mo


    Ting helped her take it off and handed it to one of the waitstaff.


    At this moment, the venue was already packed full of guests. As it was an event hosted by


    Westerners, it was rtively casual. Hence, the attending guests were left to their own devices.


    Tangning''s appearance undoubtedly attracted attention from the foreigners, because underneath


    her coat, the Qipao on her body looked extra chic and elegant against the backdrop of the pce-


    like hotel.


    Logically speaking, this was a Westerners  territory. So, dressing like the way she did wasn''t entirely


    appropriate. But, the Qipao on her body surprisingly suited the elegant surroundings.


    So, attracting everyone''s attention was destined to happen. After all, Tangning wasn''t just an


    actress, she was also a model. Attracting attention was something she was well experienced with.


    At this time, Mo Ting decided to let her enjoy the limelight by leaving her side and willingly standing


    on the sidelines . However, he didn''t go as unnoticed as he thought...


    For a man who looked like something straight out of a painting, how could he go unnoticed.


    The strange thing was, he had his brilliance while Tangning had her uniqueness. The couple both


    attracted the attention of the foreigners equally.


    Tangning understood what Mo Ting was thinking, so she hooked her arm around his and smiled, "I


    need you be my side."


    Mo Ting nodded and led her towards Taka...


    "This Oriental woman looks very familiar..."


    "Her outfit is beautiful and very unique! I wonder which designer designed it."


    "I never liked Asian clothes because I found it tooplex. But, after seeing this Asian woman


    wearing this outfit, I feel like I want to give it a try."


    "Oh my G.o.d, is a new Asian trend going to be ignited?"


    Discussions  began filling the venue as the couple caused a stir. Eventually, Tangning and Mo Ting


    stood before Taka as Taka contained his usual unruliness and introduced his agency and team to


    them.


    "Taka, can this couple speak English?"


    Tangning smiled and answered naturally, "Of course."


    The man facing Taka was a little surprised as he smiled back, "I am Taka''s older brother and owner


    of Worldwide Entertainment Agency, Braun."


    "h.e.l.lo Mr. Braun, it doesn''t seem like you know who I am," Tangning greeted straightforwardly. "I


    am Tangning: the female lead of ''The Lost Rtive''."


    "Oh, I''m sorry. You''re right, I had no idea who you were. Taka simply told me that he wanted to y


    around in Asia, so I gave him permission to go to Beijing. But, I didn''t care what he was doing there.


    After all, the acting standard in Asia isn''t anything special."


    The blond-haired American man expressed his disdain towards Tangning.


    "You have plenty of celebrities, but I must be honest, you don''t have real actors."


    After hearing this, Tangning did not show any signs of anger, she simply replied in perfect English,


    "It seems, Mr. Braun is trying to say that you guys have plenty of actors?"


    "Of course. We have at least a dozen that are present at this event who have been awarded with


    international acting awards. It''s an awards stage that you Asians can never step foot on."


    "Really?" Tangning queried. After looking around the room, she turned back to Braun and


    responded, "Apart from Jason, I don''t recognize any one else here. Do you know what this means,


    Mr. Braun? In the highly popted Asian region, no one can recognize the faces you have


    mentioned...The only reason I recognize Jason is because he once yed an antagonist in an


    Asian film..."


    "In other words, the so-called ''good actors'' in your eyes..."


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "...still need to bow down to the potential benefits of the Asian market."


    Braun was a little stunned; he never expected Tangning''s mouth to be so sharp.


    "Aren''t your ''good actors'' capable of making any cultural contributions?"


    "That..." Braun didn''t know how to respond.


    "I wonder if Mr. Braun is aware that in South Korea, they have a rule?" Tangning smiled confidently


    before continuing, "They have always exported their B-Grade films and kept the best ones for their


    citizens to enjoy."


    "I feel this is an Asian habit, because we are the same in China. The older generation of actors are


    artists who have inherited the beauty of our culture. They have no need to suck up to Westerners.


    Only 3rd-rate actors like myself have the need to go international..."


    "But the funny thing is, you Americans were once infatuated in this 3rd-rate actor..."


    Braun''s expression turned extremely awkward, but Tangning had no intention to stop, "Do you still


    remember the Oriental Trend?"


    "Back then, how many people present went to buy an Oriental outfit or essory because of me?"


    Hearing these words, plenty of people were shocked.


    Because, to this day, the Oriental Trend had notpletely subsided...
