Entertainment: Who Said That the Golden Supporting Role Cannot Become the Top Stream

95: Weighing the pros and cons, the censor’s loyaltyThe Los Angeles sun, streaming through the apartment hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows, lazily spilled onto the floor, yet it couldn’t dispel the layers of ripples that had arisen in Lin Da’s heart due to Liu Feixu’s overseas call.

“iron-blooded censor,” a male lead role in a period historical drama that sounded very substantial.

For any actor aspiring to establish a firm foothold in the domestic mainstream film and television industry and contend for professional awards, this was undoubtedly a highly tempting olive branch.

But Lin Da knew that behind this olive branch, thorns might also be hidden.

The “potential risk” alert given by the system sounded an alarm in his heart. The first-tier satellite TV and video platform collaborating with Purple Cloud Film and Television had intricate connections with the remaining forces of Xinghui Entertainment and Tianyu Media, which had previously suppressed him. This made him wonder if this invitation had ulterior motives.

“Allen, I just received a call from Beijing, China.” After a moment of thought, Lin Da decided to inform his Hollywood ace agent about this matter. He knew that Allen Parker not only had rich industry experience but also a keen business sense and a powerful information network.

Allen Parker, on the other end of the phone, fell silent for a moment after listening to Lin Da’s narration and the system’s evaluation of “iron-blooded censor” project.

“Lin,” Allen’s voice carried the calm and prudence characteristic of a professional agent, “this project, on the surface, is indeed a good opportunity. A well-produced historical drama with a male lead role, if successful, will greatly help your reputation in China and your pursuit of mainstream awards.”

“However,” he changed the subject, his tone becoming serious, “we must pay attention to the ‘potential risk’ indicated by the system. The complexity of the Chinese entertainment industry sometimes even surpasses that of Hollywood. If those former enemies really want to trip you up through this project, it will indeed be very troublesome.”

Lin Da nodded. He knew that open attacks were easy to dodge, but hidden arrows were hard to guard against. If the other party truly intended to use this project to scheme against him, his situation in China would likely become extremely difficult.

“Allen, what is your suggestion?” Lin Da asked.

“My suggestion is not to rush to reply for now,” Allen Parker said in a deep voice. “I will immediately have CAA’s domestic partners conduct a comprehensive background check and risk assessment on Purple Cloud Film and Television, Liu Feixu, and ‘iron-blooded censor’ project. We need to find out whether this is a genuine opportunity or a carefully laid trap.”

He paused, his tone carrying the confidence and control of an ace agent: “At the same time, I will also start looking for some safer and more internationally influential domestic collaboration projects for you. Your actor emperor road cannot be limited to Hollywood; the vast Chinese market is equally important. But we must choose the most stable and beneficial path for your long-term development.”

“I understand, Allen.” Lin Da felt much more at ease. With a professional team like Allen Parker safeguarding him, he could indeed avoid many detours.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Da did not allow himself to fall into unnecessary anxiety. He knew that the most important thing now was to focus on the current filming of “chinatown stories.”

The role of Chen Ajiu, for him, was not just an opportunity to contend for the Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards, but also a challenge to the limits of his acting skills.

He unhesitatingly invested the 1000 newly acquired Acting Points, as well as a portion of those accumulated earlier, into core attributes related to the “Chen Ajiu” character, such as “Internal Monologue Control (Heroic Aura),” “Emotional Explosiveness (Endurance and Ruthlessness),” “Body Language (Sense of Era and Jianghu Spirit),” and the proficiency improvement of the newly unlocked, incredibly impressive Oscar Road · Script Radar (Primary) skill.

He wanted to transform himself into the most perfect Chen Ajiu!

A few days later, Allen Parker called again, his tone carrying a mix of gravity and a certain understanding.

“Lin, regarding ‘iron-blooded censor,’ we found some interesting things.”

“Oh?” Lin Da raised an eyebrow slightly.
