Chapter 477 The Situation of Asians
The distribution of resources in Hollywood is closely related to the political consciousness of the United States. White people occupy the vast majority of resources, followed by African Americans, then Mexican Americans, and Asians are almost non-existent.
In the past two years, Su Lingxi has spent quite a bit of time in Hollywood. He has dealt with the "Australian Gang" and the "European Gang" at various dinners and parties, but he has never met even one famous Asian. This means that the number of Asians who can infiltrate Hollywood is not only small, but most of them are still concentrated at the outermost and lower levels.
Without good resources and a voice, they simply cannot integrate into the core circle of Hollywood.
Su Lingxi doesn’t know whether this phenomenon is related to the general low political awareness among Asians, but she knows what she should do.
A person's power is limited after all.
If Asian women want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, they must demonstrate greater cohesion than before.
Otherwise, it will be impossible to change the status quo and gain real voice.
Therefore, not only did she not mind Yang Qian's desire to train new people, but she was happy to see it happen.
"Sunrise is now almost on the right track. If you need anything in this regard in the future, just tell me at any time." Su Lingxi said frankly, "I can't do too much on the surface, which will easily cause dissatisfaction among some people, but I can help her get a few small roles suitable for her in my own company, which is definitely no problem."
Logically speaking, it is understandable that Asians form groups in the American social environment, but Su Lingxi is a public figure who is being watched by many eyes. What would be normal behavior for ordinary people is worthy of judgment for her.
Ruan Tang understood what Su Lingxi meant instantly. Starting from the past two years, Su Lingxi had been focusing on developing Sunrise's production department. As Su Lingxi's popularity in the United States grew, Su Lingxi increasingly revealed his ambitions for the Hollywood production industry when facing the people in her team.
Given Ruan Tang's understanding of Su Lingxi's character, she was not surprised at all to hear these words, but she also did not expect that Su Lingxi would start planning so early.
"But I heard that Mr. Cox's attitude towards Asians is not very clear." Ruan Tang's voice was a little hoarse, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. "Don't worry about promoting new people. Everything still comes first for you."
Although Su Lingxi has now entered the ranks of those earning 20 million yuan for a film, and is considered a bona fide Hollywood A-list star, the breadth of her works cannot compare to others of the same age - after all, her status is supported by the instant success of "Freedom Road" and the Oscar statuette, and she is still far from being a top-tier star like Jason Weir, who has established himself and has been popular for decades.
According to Ruan Tang's previous plan, she would wait until Su Lingxi had completely established herself in Hollywood before considering promoting new people.
"Joey has a somewhat arrogant personality, but as far as I can see, he has no tendency to discriminate against Asians."
As Su Lingxi spoke, she unconsciously recalled the home screen of someone's phone that she had accidentally seen that day. There was an APP specifically for learning Chinese that was very eye-catching.
If he can do this, he should not have much aversion to Asians, right?
"Assuming I arrange a role for her this year, she won't officially debut until the movie is released next year. Anyway, two to three years may not be enough time for a newcomer to make a name for herself in Hollywood, so it's not too early to start planning now." Su Lingxi thought for a moment and added, "If you have time, arrange for me and Liu Yue to meet. I want to see with my own eyes whether she is a good candidate."
As a senior agent, Yang Qian certainly has a keen eye, but after all, she has not had much contact with the Hollywood circle and does not have the professional vision of actors.
After all, this could be a newcomer that Su Lingxi will promote in the future, so he still has to personally check it out before he can feel at ease.

On March 3, the Oscars ceremony was held as scheduled at the Dolby Theatre.
Although this year's award season was greatly affected by the strike, and even a series of bellwether awards such as the Golden Globe Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards were cancelled, the Oscars are the Oscars after all, and the long-lost red carpet segment is still star-studded.
Although Su Lingxi did not spend any money on public relations for even a nomination this time, she had to follow Columbia's pace and rushed to Los Angeles that night to attend the celebration party for "Angel Crazy Flower".
The film nominally stars three actresses as the main characters, but given that Jacqueline Pate won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, there was undoubtedly only one protagonist at the party that night.
"My dear, long time no see. Your acceptance speech was so great. Congratulations!"
"Wow, Nicole, did you come here just for me?" Jacqueline came up to her in a good mood and hugged her, smiling and jokingly saying, "You were away from Los Angeles during this period, and those Paparachis were almost going crazy."
"I can't help it. The situation is pressing, you know." Su Lingxi also laughed and changed the subject without leaving a trace. "I heard that you broke up? To be honest, I was shocked when I heard the news."
"Oh God! That guy Anthony is a jerk..."
The topic of complaining about the ex-boyfriend ended after five minutes, and the lucky winner who just won the prize still had to deal with more congratulatory guests outside.
Of course, although Su Lingxi is not the protagonist of tonight's party, her dual identity means that she will never be treated coldly anywhere - a young Oscar-winning actress, rated as the most anticipated producer in the industry, and even the founder of a film company who is qualified to sit at the same table with Mark Egger to discuss contracts - there are countless directors who want to get her next film contract, and there are also many young actors who are eager to be chosen by her and want to reach the top overnight.
"I heard that all the Hollywood film companies are looking for you for projects now. Do you have your eyes on any of them?" Ignoring the eager gazes, Kevin took two steps forward calmly and started the conversation naturally as if he was showing concern for an ordinary friend.
"Not yet." Su Lingxi answered briefly, "I value quality more than quantity - right now I need good scripts and roles."
"Well, I think you understand that Columbia would love to have your next film contract, and we have a lot of projects for you to choose from."
Su Lingxi smiled and did not directly answer this question, "Please spare me, sir, don't forget that my vacation is still in progress."
