Ha, I mean, Nic has a point. The entourage probably doesn’t get paid much and depend on people like him to subsidize them. I imagine him as the grumpy industry veteran, shaking his fist and saying, “back in MY day, we had to do our own hair! And our own makeup! And walk 5 miles in the snow to get to the studio!” 😀
@sasamii Yup, he got a point there. What I don’t get is why netizens angry at such comment. He is a businessman, looking at cost and complain about that is pretty atypical behaviour of a businessman, plus he was the veteran, who’s back then did not have that many assistants, plus he’s older now, he also knows how spoil these young celebrities are.
@littlefish you’re right… they probably seem especially spoiled also because despite his family ties, Nic really did work really hard in his youth to make a name for himself.
Chinese director Feng Xiaogang and several senior actors made the same complaints. Only the high paid idols with poor acting skills have this affliction.
