She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

An ordinary person might be frightened by what Manuel said, but everyone present - including Su Lingxi and the other three - had strong stress-resistance abilities.

After hearing this, instead of being afraid, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The character arc and dramatic conflict are all focused on the heroine. This is absolutely a movie with the heroine as the focus of the play. As long as it is filmed, the bonus to the female lead will definitely be the greatest.

In this case, it is understandable that competition is fierce.

"Thank you for your hypothetical answer, it's very interesting, Manuel, have some juice." Eva smiled and handed him a drink.

Manuel smiled, took the glass readily, and gently clinked glasses with it.

This is a common action at the wine table, but in this situation, the meaning behind it is far more than what the word "clink glasses" can summarize.

It can be said that this is more like a certain attitude that both parties share without any prior agreement.

It is also the first step for Hengsheng Pictures to get closer to Manuel.

If Eva was just the widow of Millerand, there would be no need for her to show goodwill to Manuel - after all, in terms of class status and wealth in the upper class, Manuel might not be able to catch up with the Millerand family even if he worked hard for another 50 years.

But as the boss of Hengsheng Pictures, making friends with Manuel is an opportunity with only benefits for her.

From the very beginning, Eva planned Hengsheng Pictures to be more than just an agency, but also aimed at the production field.

As we all know, film and television companies with independent production capabilities are the upstream companies that truly hold the right to speak in the entertainment industry. If Hengsheng Pictures wants to formally transform, it will inevitably cooperate with other large companies in the industry.

Francois was Eva's first venture.

"Do you want Manuel to help us get an opportunity to bring in capital?" Ruan Tang asked as he drove back to the city. "Do you think he can do this?"

Eva shrugged. "It seems that he is still very important in Fran. If everything goes well, it may not be impossible."

"After all, this is a golden opportunity for us to train, learn experience, and take advantage of the reputation of a big company - we must seize this opportunity."

Ruan Tang sighed, "But... I heard that Manuel went to Beverly Hills in Hollywood not long ago. You know, CCA's headquarters is located there."

CCA, the world's number one talent agency, has created countless famous Hollywood superstars over the past few decades. Its market share far exceeds that of the second place, and it is undoubtedly a "star-making factory."

The moment he heard these three letters, Su Lingxi immediately understood where the worry in Ruan Tang's words came from.

If Manuel has already selected artists from CCA for this project, then there may be less than 10% room left for them to operate - you know, CCA has a very rich variety of departments, each of which is full of talented people. It even once tailored an Oscar-winning team for a certain Oscar-winning film, with directors, producers, and costume designers all holding Oscars.

To be honest, this movie is obviously more valuable than "The Banality of Evil", which was awarded the "Three Golds" in China.

This also reflects CCA's strong ability to attract connections and resources.

Compared with a behemoth like CCA, Hengsheng Pictures is like an elementary school student whose conditions are still immature in all aspects. The two are not even on the same order of magnitude.

Not to mention that the influence of Hollywood stars on the global box office is probably much stronger than Su Lingxi and Verina combined.

If this is the case, they might as well just abandon the project right now.

It is a low-probability event with only a 1% chance, so there is no need to waste resources on it.

"Humph, he is indeed ambitious, but it's a pity that CCA doesn't think highly of his project." Eva sneered, "I know Manuel. If he hadn't been treated coldly by CCA, why would he be willing to follow me to China?"

"It's true that he is a fan of China, but businessmen are businessmen. He won't do anything that is not motivated by profit."

Eva said, looking up and taking a sip of water. "Anyway, judging by his reaction today, those party invitations I gave him a few years ago should not have been in vain."

"You mean, we are not completely without any chance in this project?"

"Well, Margaret's attitude is very clear. Although Manuel is still a little wavering, we still have time to change his mind."

Eva changed the subject halfway through her speech, looked at Su Lingxi, and raised the stack of documents in her hand, "It's just that we don't have to keep our schedule open for this project."

"There are many people who doubt you. You should use your next work to directly defeat those who are bad-mouthing you, right?"

"The Guangwei Murder Case?" Su Lingxi read, "Is this a crime thriller?"

"It's not a thriller, it's a suspense crime film at most. Read it, I think the role of Ayane is quite suitable for you." Eva handed her the script.

Ruan Tang received Su Lingxi's inquiring look through the rearview mirror and added in time: "This is the script outline that I received in the company's email last night. It was sent by Kitagawa Ryoko."

"Talia and I read it together, and we both think the setting is very suitable for you." Eva continued.

"So this is a... Sino-Japanese co-production?" Su Lingxi didn't open it immediately and couldn't help but ask another question.

Eva laughed, "If you are willing to accept Miss Kitagawa's invitation, then from this moment on it is."

"The choice is yours."

Su Lingxi let out a light breath, didn't ask any more questions, and raised her hand to open the script.

The story begins with the murder of Morikawa, the president of an IT company in Tokyo, at home. Morikawa had a happy family and a successful career, and he was the only one at home at the time of the crime. He had no reason to commit suicide, and there was no evidence of homicide.

Takahashi Toshi, known as the "Tokyo Detective", joins forces with the police to solve the case. During his repeated contacts, he realizes that something is wrong with Morikawa's wife Ayane.

However, Ayane is more capable than Takahashi Haru expected - she takes advantage of Takahashi Haru and the sheriff's sympathy as men and successfully escapes at the critical moment of the final trial, making this case an eternal "unsolved case".

The script outline was written very concisely. In comparison, Su Lingxi was more interested in the biography of Morikawa Ayane.
