She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"OK, then I'll wait for your good news." Sigourney took back the words with a smile and stopped urging Li Shuo to make a decision. After all, she and Li Shuo had known each other for more than ten years and she knew his temperament very well. If she appeared too eager, the other party might hesitate.

After hanging up the phone, Li Shuo slowly stroked the TV remote control in his hand, but his mind drifted further and further away: If it weren't for this sudden and important news today, he originally planned to observe for a few more months before signing a formal contract with Nicole.

It’s not that he is satisfied with her, but in Hollywood, the casting process is usually very long, and this practice of "looking for a better job while still having a job" seems unfair, but it is actually very common.

In Hollywood, commercial value is the benchmark for everything. In order to present the best finished product and to maximize profits, it is not uncommon to replace actors before filming begins.

That's why Li Shuo was not angry that Nicole had access to his and Martin's scripts at the same time - this is almost a common phenomenon in Hollywood.

But as things developed to this point, Li Shuo began to wonder whether his actions were wise or stupid.

Paparazzi like to exaggerate facts. He knew very well that he would never hear 100% truth from them, but there is no smoke without fire - the fact that such news came out meant that Nicole and Martin Kubrick had at least some kind of connection.

If he upgraded his contract right now, Nicole certainly wouldn't reject him for Kubrick's new film which hadn't even been released yet, but... did he really want to do that?

To be honest, Li Shuo has a sense of national identity with Su Lingxi as they are both Chinese - just like most people in China who have a sense of fellow countrymen, living together is the way for many Chinese Americans to survive in the United States.

Although Li Shuo did not change his nationality, he has lived in New York for many years due to work reasons. In the United States, a large immigrant country, racial culture is a topic that is often mentioned.

People of different skin colors will spontaneously form alliances of interests in society, such as the Jews in Hollywood who are famous for their xenophobia. They have money and connections, and they were able to manipulate even the Oscars by transferring interests. This situation has only improved slightly in recent years.

They are fellow Chinese people, so they should take care of each other...

As Li Shuo was thinking, he glanced at the pieces of paper on the coffee table. The paper was neither thick nor thin, and was covered with densely written black words. They were all Nicole's analysis and understanding of the characters' inner thoughts after reading the general plot.

There is no doubt that she is very concerned about this film, and her love for the character of Charlotte is not just talk.

No director would dislike an actor who is serious, hardworking and willing to learn. After thinking about what Sigourney had just said, Li Shuo finally made up his mind: He had taken great pains to invite Sigourney to play in this play. Since she was satisfied with Nicole, it would not be a bad idea for him to select the actor for Charlotte now. Anyway, with Sigourney Garner in charge, the leading cast of this movie was already luxurious enough...

Compared with Li Shuo, who made the decision after much hesitation, Su Lingxi, who personally planned this show, had a much calmer mentality than him.

"Sister Xixi, you are amazing. You can even come up with such a clever method." On the return flight, Zhu Hanqiu sighed sincerely: "I thought it would take several months to complete the contract upgrade, but I didn't expect..."

If you calculate carefully, from the time they decided to bribe the paparazzi to release the news to the time Li Shuo took the initiative to contact them to sign a formal contract, there was only less than 72 hours in between, which is an astonishingly high efficiency.

To be honest, according to Zhu Hanqiu's initial expectation, Li Shuo seemed gentle, but in fact he was very arrogant. If they wanted to get a formal contract from him, it would probably take at least ten days to half a month, or even a year and a half.

She had never expected that the situation would turn from passive to active.

"Our time is precious, and we certainly can't waste it all on a movie that hasn't even started shooting yet." Su Lingxi smiled and said calmly, "But this time we were able to successfully resolve this matter, thanks to Greta and Kubrick. If it were just me, with only the 'script' but no 'actors', it certainly wouldn't be of much use."

Li Shuo has been in Hollywood longer than her, so a rumor without even a picture would not fool him. If she wanted to hook him, a photo of her and Martin Kubrick "accidentally taken" together was essential.

The so-called feint to the east and attack in the west, of course, the more realistic it is, the more effective it will be.

Without even a photo together, how could Li Shuo possibly believe such shocking gossip as "Kubrick intends to cast a Chinese actress as the heroine in his new film".

Although it was just a flash of inspiration at the time, looking back now, Su Lingxi felt fortunate - if she hadn't directed and acted in this scene, she wouldn't know when she would have signed the formal contract.

"Oh, by the way, Kelly has been very helpful recently, and her birthday is coming soon, so remember to prepare the bonus red envelope in advance." Su Lingxi is not short of money and has always been generous in terms of employee benefits.

What's more, this time they were able to quickly contact the Hollywood paparazzi to help them spread the news, all thanks to Kelly's connections and money, otherwise things would not have been resolved so smoothly.

"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Zhu Hanqiu nodded and quickly typed a line of words on the memo, "Sister Xixi, in order to avoid crowds at the airport, we'll use the VIP channel after we get off the plane, and then take a car directly to the filming base. The crew has already arranged accommodation for us, which is only two or three kilometers away from the filming base, very close, but it may be a bit far to drive from the airport, and it will take about three hours."

"If you're tired, you can take a nap now. The plane won't land for more than an hour."

After hearing her words, Su Lingxi nodded casually and put on the eye mask - she flew from Italy to New York, and then from New York back to the capital. Her biological clock has been messed up for half a month. She has no time to adjust to the jet lag, so she can only find opportunities to catch up on sleep.
