The sudden appearance undoubtedly interrupted the upcoming forum discussion. The people on Murphy's side felt baffled and couldn't figure out what was going on, so they asked the translator behind them one after another. Time is really not easy to translate, after all, this word contains too many meanings.

Being called this kind of title made Binbin's face darken in an instant. For an actor, especially a star actor, it was almost the same as pointing his nose and cursing.

But she couldn't get angry, Cheng Baoguang's reputation was not well-known, but his status in the industry was quite high. The series of red works he wrote had even been appreciated by the highest level, and he had intricate relationships with the government.

Just enjoying the national subsidy will make many actors shy away.

Zuo Binbin could only endure it, anyway, with her face, this kind of accusation was nothing.

However, this is just the beginning.

Cheng Baoguang seemed very dissatisfied and didn't stop talking, and continued, "Such a good academic seminar on film must have the status threshold of 'talking and laughing, and there is no white man'. It's chaotic, it's just nonsense."

This is a bit wrong, and it doesn't sound like it's aimed at Binbin alone. Murphy can see that the faces of Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun on the opposite side have also become ugly. After all, they have acted in more than one role. Characters, more than one film, can also be classified under the category of 'actor'.

But they, like the criminal Binbin, obviously had scruples and could only sit there without doing or saying anything.

"Are they fighting among themselves?" Although Gal Gadot couldn't understand, he could understand, "What's going on?"

Murphy can only judge based on what he saw. That Mr. Cheng Baoguang was obviously dissatisfied with the fact that Mr. Binbin stole his limelight, and he was having a fit on purpose, as if he had an unusual status. Mr. Binbin, Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun He could only listen, not daring to jump out and fight back.

Putting all these aside and looking at Cheng Baoguang's words alone, this moralist feels that it seems natural to regard artists as "actors". Today, it looks cute and sour.

Turning his head to look at the young translator standing behind Gal Gadot, the dissatisfaction on his face was beyond words, and he looked into Cheng Baoguang's eyes with disdain, Murphy waved and called him over.

"Who is that Cheng Baoguang?" he asked in Chinese.

"Writers who specialize in red dramas and red works." The translator realized that Murphy might not be able to understand when he said this, so he quickly explained in a low voice, "Red dramas are..."

"I know what it is." Murphy interrupted him, "Go on."

"Yeah!" The translator nodded, "He has written many classic red dramas, enjoys special allowances from the state, and is praised by the top leaders as a top artist with both virtue and skill."

Hearing this, Murphy finally understood that this Cheng Baoguang should have an official status, and he was famous at the top. No wonder people like Zuo Binbin, Feng Daya, and Jiang Xiaojun just sat around and didn't fight back.

Perhaps Jiang Xiaojun had already blown his hair when he was young, but after experiencing such ups and downs, the edges and corners have almost been worn away.

When Murphy was asking questions, someone from the organizer went over and said something to Zuo Binbin, and Zuo Binbin stood up and left the rostrum.

Anyone can see the reluctance and unhappiness that Zuo Binbin felt when he left.

The organizer also found an excuse as quickly as possible. The offstage fans who offended Binbin were too fanatical, for safety reasons.

Such a statement that popped out of the host's mouth can be regarded as the last face left for Zuo Binbin.

Objectively speaking, any place where there are celebrities may cause potential small chaos. The enthusiasm of fans gathering together always makes people afraid of the possibility of getting out of control.

In order to ensure safety, the undertaker hoped that Binbin would leave the scene, which was a helpless move.

Honestly, it's not polite, but politeness is more important than safety.

However, everyone present could see that this was not for safety, but to take care of some people's seemingly strong but actually fragile self-esteem.

"I think this person is disgusting! It's disgusting!"

The translator finally found time to tell Gal Gadot what Cheng Baoguang had said. Gal Gadot was obviously upset, "He's insulting all the actors!"

Murphy also heard the English translation just now. The young translator did not add embellishments, but just recounted Cheng Baoguang's words in appropriate English.

Just like Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun, titles like 'actor' will make everyone who has been an actor feel uncomfortable, and Gal Gadot is no exception.

Cheng Baoguang's face also disgusted Murphy. Such an expert professor is really...

At this moment, Cheng Baoguang's eyes swept over here, and then fixed on Gal Gadot's body. Even the translator behind Gal Gadot could see the disdain and contempt in it.

Of course Gal Gadot felt it too, she turned to look at Murphy, "Can I talk?"

"You can say whatever you want," Murphy certainly would not stop his girlfriend, "I have everything."

However, even at this time, Gal Gadot waited for the host to finish speaking the string of words and temporarily paused to adjust his breathing before standing up.

"Sorry to interrupt you." Gal Gadot did not have a microphone, so he could only raise his voice and said, "Someone just spoke freely, and I have a few words to say."

Murphy stood up to accompany Gal Gadot, took the initiative to translate into Chinese, and then looked at the host.

He is one of the most important guests of this event, and he comes from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. In this country, he will often bring some unspeakable advantages.

The host was still hesitating. Jon Landau took the two microphones next to him and handed them directly to Murphy. Murphy handed another one to Gal Gadot. Gal Gadot picked up the microphone, He looked at Cheng Baoguang.

"Sir, I can't agree with what you just said."

Gal Gadot was talking before, and Murphy translated into Chinese later, his voice was loud enough for everyone in the auditorium to hear clearly, "According to common sense, any kind of appellation has different meanings, just like you You can call a black man an 'African-American' instead of a 'nigger', and you'll have to pay the price if you use the latter. Likewise, you can call that lady an 'actor' or an 'entertainer', But it cannot be said that she is an "actress". In today's context, "actor" is a stigmatized title with a clear derogatory and contemptuous meaning, and it is a discriminatory language in the industry. Those who are prosecuted may also bear criminal responsibility!"

Hearing these words, Cheng Baoguang pulled his long face down in an instant. The self-esteem he regained just now because he was forced to leave the scene was almost smashed by Gal Gadot.

A person from Hollywood accuses people in the film circle here. In the past, they might have been mobbed and attacked, but now everyone in the audience is looking at Cheng Baoguang, who has a dark complexion, and only gloats in his eyes.

"This woman is fine." Jiang Xiaojun leaned close to Feng Daya's ear and muttered, "I really want to applaud her."

"He should!" Feng Daya replied softly, "Someone should treat him well, he knows how to use the official background to bully us, a master from Hollywood, let's see what else he can do!"

Cheng Baoguang doesn't seem to know how to refute Gal Gadot, use his own identity to suppress, a person from Hollywood will accept this set?

He held his breath in his chest for a long time before he said, "You have no right to talk to me!"

"Then am I qualified to talk to you?" Murphy's anger only went up, attacking Gal Gadot more than attacking himself, and making him angry, "Mr. Cheng, I don't know that I am qualified to talk to you as a film director ..."

He deliberately emphasized his tone, "Are you talking to an old artist with both virtue and skill?"

The filmmakers on the stage, because of Cheng Baoguang's identity, could only hold back their laughter, but the students below the stage didn't care about it. When they heard the word "virtue and art", they broke out a burst of mocking laughter Voice.

This is a formal occasion, and it is not suitable to say too much of this kind of insinuation. If you want to make your words stand, you must present the facts and make sense.

"I can speak fluent Chinese, and I know a little bit about this place." Murphy did not give Cheng Baoguang a chance to continue speaking, "As far as I know, the status of performers here has undergone subtle changes. Years later, entertainers and many low-level laborers were grouped together and reintroduced into the ranks of 'working people', because their low-level identities were re-endowed with lofty justice."

As Murphy said, he seems to really understand this side very well, "After being completely involved in the system, the individuality of the artist has actually completely disappeared, replaced by the universal identity of 'performing artist', becoming a A part of the huge state apparatus, so it is required to be dignified, decent, and both moral and artistic."

It seems to agree with this point of view, only Murphy's voice echoed on the scene, "This kind of situation that does not require real labor and market pricing has created a state of being unhurried and eliminating worldly desires. It is recognized as the style that performance practitioners should have. However, with the rapid marketization, artists quickly returned to their original work mode and social status, and more importantly, they received rich material returns. This view The seemingly easy way of obtaining wealth, as well as being sought after by the front and back, has caused many people, especially those whose status has rapidly declined in the process of marketization, to have a serious psychological imbalance..."
