"The situation is not completely determined yet." Su Lingxi thought about it and chose to answer truthfully: "Angel Crazy Flower may not start shooting until next year at the earliest, but if there are no unexpected circumstances, I think I will choose to take it - the Hollywood commercial film market is not optimistic about me now, and we don't have much room for choice."

Su Lingxi only needed to contact her a few times to know whether a person was sincere or just trying to curry favor. Carly did not treat her with the arrogance that is common among white Hollywood movie stars. Instead, she put them on an equal footing and made no secret of her appreciation for her as a producer.

Therefore, Su Lingxi sincerely regarded her as a like-minded friend, rather than just a short-term business partner who was just passing by.

There was no need for her to hide her concerns from her friends.

"Ah, you mean--" Carly drawled out her tone knowingly.

Su Lingxi nodded in agreement. "To be honest, Angel Flower is the best commercial film script I have access to so far. Mr. McNeill is very satisfied with me. If the negotiations go smoothly, the contract may be signed within this year, and then we will find a time to announce it to the public."

"Okay, then... I wish you success?" Carly handed her a new can of beer. "In any case, you really need a commercial film to build up your audience base at this stage. But don't forget - after the news is announced, you must appease the fans' emotions in a timely manner."

Although they are friends, they are not to the point where they can talk about everything. Moreover, Carly doesn't want to say discouraging words to dampen the enthusiasm of the young girl at this time - she sincerely hopes that a self-disciplined and capable actress like Nicole can go far in this circle.

After all, compared to those Hollywood scums who have promiscuous sex, take drugs, and even seduce and molest young children, Nicole is clearly more qualified to become famous.

This beautiful wish comes only from her empathy as a woman, regardless of skin color or nationality.

"To appease the fans?" Sigourney frowned and asked, "Why? Do they mind Nicole starring in a commercial film?"

Carly spread her hands helplessly. "Honey, this is hard to predict. You have to know that fans are often more sensitive than us, so we have to be careful when treating them."

It must be said that Carly is worthy of being recognized as a gold medal producer by many American media. A simple exhortation during a chat can actually come true.

In November, Columbia Pictures officially announced the cast of "Angelica Madame". In addition to Su Lingxi, famous Hollywood action star Olivia Bell also joined the cast, which aroused discussions among countless fans at home and abroad.

But the focus of everyone's discussion was not on Bale, but more on the treatment given to Su Lingxi in the movie "Angelica" itself - not only was she not the only female lead, she even had to play the same role as the other two actresses.

To put it nicely, it's one of the three No. 1s, but to put it bluntly, it's actually equivalent to being suppressed in disguise.

Before the filming of "Freedom Road", Su Lingxi's fans might have thought that Olivia Bell, as a stable B-list beauty in Hollywood, was a good partner. However, with the Oscar-winning actress Sigourney Garner in the spotlight, Bell's star power inevitably seemed a lot dimmer.

Furthermore, "The Inverse Judgment", starring Su Lingxi, was only released on a large scale not long ago, and its box office performance in various countries was far beyond expectations - it earned a total of 30 million US dollars in North America, 40 million US dollars in France, and even 50 million in the mainland, not to mention the Japanese region which had been hyping up the film for many days before its release.

The fans’ logic is simple: with the box office results and the Palme d’Or trophy, the script resources that Su Lingxi will be able to access in the future should be better than before. Why is it that his rating is downgraded instead?

It would be fine if all the script team’s partners were demoted, but how come they can’t even keep their ranking?

Fans certainly don’t think that this is the decision of their own boss. Their first reaction is to put the blame on the company - the company cannot guarantee anything, so it must be the company’s fault.

Originally, these discussions were limited to the fan circle, but under the guidance of some people with ulterior motives, more and more conspiracy theories appeared on the Internet.

"Colombia can only help her win the Best Actress Award at Cannes, but it cannot guarantee her future acting career. There is no doubt that Nicole is being held hostage by Colombia. Perhaps they have signed some kind of unknown unequal contract."

"Nicole's fame is definitely enough to continue working with big names like Sigourney - wouldn't it be better for her to make more profound art films? Must she make those cheesy assembly-line commercial films just for the money?"

"This is incredible news. Come on, I just fell in love with this charming girl, she is stunningly beautiful in the movie... Why did Columbia put her in McNeill's third-rate crew? This is a complete waste of talent!"

The first to be affected by the conspiracy theory was the famous Columbia, but the angry foreign fans also did not let go of Hengsheng Pictures in China. "What is Nicole's agency doing? They have no basic awareness of protecting artists. This is really unprofessional!"

"Oh, I really feel sorry for the girl. She didn't deserve this."

Unfortunately, since Hengsheng Pictures is not well-known in Hollywood and its presence is not as high as Su Lingxi himself, fans' attention was soon attracted by the director of "Angel Crazy Flower". "Joseph McNeill? Which rural street did this guy come from? How come I have never heard of this person in Hollywood?"

"OMG, McNeill made the sequel to Underworld - I have to admit, it was a terrible movie and brought me an unforgettable viewing experience - why on earth can this guy still be filmed now? And Columbia Pictures even specifically appointed him as the director?"

"His resume is so poor, it's unbelievable. Why would Nicole choose to work with such a director? To be honest, this incident makes me doubt her own taste..."

With the help of some people with ulterior motives, this incident has sparked heated discussions on foreign forums, and the public opinion effect has even spread to the country - many people have begun to secretly use this incident to lead the trend, claiming that the success of "The Inverse Judgement" in both word-of-mouth and box office was just a public relations effect, and it can be seen from Su Lingxi's subsequent resources that she has not been able to upgrade her status with this movie at all.

The Internet water army was coming in full force, and Su Lingxi was very sure that if she hadn't asked the team to prepare a response plan in advance, they would be in a very passive position now.
