Yang Ming couldn't help but turn his head and saw a blond, blue-eyed, elegant white woman, holding sunglasses in her hand and looking at him in surprise.

He felt that this woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

However, he was sure that he had never seen her before, but why did she feel so familiar?

Newspaper? Media?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out: "Afra Hill!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang Ming." Aphra did not think Yang Ming was neglecting her because he failed to recognize her at the first time. Instead, she magnanimously stretched out her right hand to greet Yang Ming gently.

"Hello, Ms. Aphra."

Yang Ming shook hands with Aphra and spoke extremely politely.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. The way he just frowned and thought about who the other person was must have been noticed by others. Aphra is a Hollywood queen, and when she took the initiative to say hello to him, he was not the first to say hello.

Seeing it right away, this is simply a sin.

However, now after he shook hands with Aphra, looking at the other person's expression, he didn't seem to be angry because of his rudeness just now.

It seems that this Hollywood queen has a pretty good character.

"Haha, I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Yang Ming on this flight. I often saw your name appearing with mine in the news in the media a few days ago." Aphra joked with a chuckle.

.

Yang Ming coughed dryly and said, "Exaggeration has always been a media tradition."

Because of his strong ability to attract money, even the income generated from a single solo concert has broken the records of many superstars. After the first day of being infinitely close to the global entertainment industry in front of him, now people actually mentioned this matter to his face. Even if Yang Ming

No matter how confident you are, it’s hard to say anything.

Aphra saw that Yang Ming was so humble and was not impressed. Instead, she looked at Yang Ming seriously, patted the armrest beside her and said, "Hey, Mr. Yang Ming doesn't need to be humble. After all, I'm old. Now

The entertainment industry already belongs to you young people."

Hearing Aphra's emotion, Yang Ming glanced at the other party suppressedly, but if he really looked carefully, he could still see the looming crow's feet in the corners of Aphra's eyes.

The traces of time, no matter how much you modify them, cannot erase the imprint of time.

In fact, Aphra's age is not as old as she said. Yang Ming calculated in his mind that the other party should be in his early forties. Maybe he is no longer in the golden age and has passed his peak period, but he believes in the other party.

His strength will definitely not disappear so quickly because of the passage of time.

"I like your music very much, madam. I think the classic music that you have left a deep impression on countless fans will not fade a little with the passage of time." Yang Ming said sincerely.

He has indeed listened to a lot of Aphra's songs, and there are many works that have left a deep impression on him.

It is obviously impossible for a queen with such strength to fall down easily.

However, when Aphra heard Yang Ming's words, she shook her head, sighed quietly, then gently touched her face and said: "I can't do it anymore, I'm old. For the entertainment industry, age is always

The biggest killer."

Hearing Aphra's words, Yang Ming couldn't help but think of the comments about this Hollywood queen that he had seen in the American media. Her singing voice, just like her own character, was always full of melancholy.

At this time, he had to admit that the media's evaluation was correct.

Through the brief verbal exchange just now, Yang Ming discovered that Aphra did not have the bad temper of those famous Hollywood superstars nowadays.

They are pretentious and arrogant. It seems that in the eyes of those superstars, the earth should revolve around them and they are born to be the center of the universe.

But he did not find these shortcomings in Aphra. This queen gave him a very unique feeling, as if she was like a lonely peony, standing proudly among the flowers, admiring her beauty alone, until it withered.

"Actually, there are many fans who are looking forward to your concert, madam. You should help those fans realize their wishes." Yang Ming felt that the diva in front of him couldn't help but fall into a lonely mood, and immediately changed the topic and said

.

At this moment, the plane took off, and Aphra did not immediately answer Yang Ming's question.

After the plane took off, she slowly said: "Concert? Singing for my fans, I will never refuse, but the requests made by those companies make me very disgusted, so in the past few years, I

They all use traveling to pass the boring time.”

"Unreasonable request?"

When Yang Ming heard Aphra's words, he couldn't help but wonder. For a singer like Aphra, who can be called a global superstar and queen, if she wants to hold a concert, there will be absolutely no problem with ticket sales.

And coupled with other income, the income must be very considerable.

With the situation so good, are the hosting companies out of their minds? Let this diva enjoy harsh treatment.

In this regard, when Yang Ming heard this sentence, he was extremely puzzled.

Aphra saw Yang Ming's slightly furrowed brows, and seemed to have thought of the questions in the other party's mind. She couldn't help but smile lightly, and then explained to Yang Ming.

After a while, before Aphra finished speaking, Yang Ming knew what was going on.

"Short-sighted!" Yang Ming said with a hint of anger.

"Haha." Aphra chuckled when she saw Yang Ming's angry look, then a calm look appeared on her face and said, "Sometimes singers, no matter how capable they are, still succumb to the power of capital."

It turns out that Aphra has not held a concert in the past few years. It is not because she has no ideas or company cooperation.

Many companies have even taken the initiative to contact Aphra and want to hold concerts for her, even if they underwrite the tickets.

With so many cooperative companies, it stands to reason that Aphra would have no problem even if she held a global concert tour, but in fact, she has not held a single concert in the past few years.

As for the reason, Yang Ming also figured out that Aphra had a falling out with her agency, or it could be said that she was blocked by the entertainment industry giants behind her agency.

cAA!

Just like in previous lives, there is also a CAA in Hollywood in the United States today.

At the same time, it is also the most influential and powerful acting agency in Hollywood today, with influence spread across every corner of the Hollywood industry. Even those giants do not dare to offend CAA too much, because CAA is too powerful, more powerful than in previous lives.

Even more powerful.

It must not be said that the land of Hollywood in the United States has given birth to an extremely huge monster.

But Oriental DreamWorks and CAA don’t have much overlap.

The biggest feature of CAA is the packaging service.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie, from the creation of the script, to the selection of the director, the arrangement of the actors, and even the final distribution, CAA can provide one-stop services.

In less than thirty years since the establishment of CAA, it has occupied half of Hollywood, relying on this kind of packaging service.

However, with the dramatic expansion of CAA, many Hollywood film companies have lost too much voice in the face of huge monsters that were entirely cultivated by them.

The preparation, shooting and distribution of a film are completely controlled by a brokerage company, while the film company has very little say.

This situation is simply unbelievable for the Chinese entertainment industry.

It is estimated that only in the United States, such a thing is possible.

Yang Ming also attaches great importance to CAA, but when Oriental DreamWorks entered the American film industry, because he has countless classic resources from his previous life and holds a large number of movie scripts that can sell well at the box office, there is no need to worry about Oriental DreamWorks having no movies to make.

Moreover, according to the plan he and Barber discussed at the beginning, Hollywood's Oriental DreamWorks would rather develop slowly, but must be extremely practical at every step.

Anyway, with the script provided by Yang Ming, even if we can't invite big-name stars, we can still cultivate our own star actors.

Now the agency company under Oriental DreamWorks Hollywood has signed contracts with many actors who are emerging in Hollywood.

These actors are all "crooked melons and cracked dates" that other agencies did not value in the past, and then by participating in the filming of Oriental DreamWorks movies, they achieved box office hits and quickly became popular.

It seems to be working pretty well now.

In addition, Yang Ming and his uncle secretly acquired Amc, the second largest theater chain in the United States, allowing Oriental DreamWorks to completely control its own lifeline.

In this way, Oriental DreamWorks has established a very solid foundation in Hollywood.

Naturally, there is no urgency for cooperation with CAA. Although there have been some cooperations, they are basically insignificant role collaborations. When it comes to the selection of directors and actors, Oriental DreamWorks does not allow others to dictate.

The queen sitting in front of Yang Ming now, Aphra, is a signed artist of CAA. She was once the brightest pearl of CAA, but now she has been banned from CAA.

In other words, cAA no longer attaches great importance to Aphra as before.

Although there are speculations in the outside media as to why Aphra has not held a concert or attended some large-scale events in recent years, no one knows the specific reasons.

But Yang Ming finally found out today.

After hearing Aphra's words, he turned around and looked around. It seemed that there were only two of them in the first class cabin, and there was no one else. Otherwise, if the words Aphra just said were spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at Aphra's sincerity. She was able to tell these unknown inside stories when she saw him for the first time.

He sensed another temperament characteristic from Aphra, which was that she was too naive and too idealistic.

But Yang Ming had to admit that it was precisely because of the temperament of the other party that he became known as the Queen of Heaven and had countless fans around the world who adored him crazily.

The reason why cAA banned Aphra is actually very simple, but also very dirty. No wonder he was banned. Aphra never mentioned a word in interviews with the media and did not leak a single word. It was really this inside story.

It was hard for Aphra to talk about it.

Yang Ming also admired how Aphra told him such a thing the first time she came into contact with him.

Aphra has passed her golden age, there is no doubt about it.

After all, she was in her prime of life and her beauty was stunning, but now that she is in her thirties, no matter how well-maintained she is, she is no longer very attractive to young people.

Therefore, in order to allow Aphra to exert greater charm, or in order to extract the last value from Aphra, CAA required Aphra to take a sexy and charming route.

What is the sexy and charming route?
