She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"Not bad. The sunshine in Los Angeles has been nice lately." Joey shrugged and said frankly.

Compared to his previous awkwardness, his tone was much more relaxed and frank. Su Lingxi could roughly guess his thoughts: the dopamine secreted by the brain was only temporary, but the benefits she and he could gain as partners were permanent. Moreover, they were still young, and it was not worthwhile to delay their careers for the sake of romance.

This is also the point that Su Lingxi wants to reach a consensus with Joey - since both of them are eager to make a career to prove themselves, then being partners is undoubtedly more appropriate than being lovers.

Sunrise's current booming business also proves this point.

Thinking of this, Su Lingxi felt somewhat relieved: Fortunately, Joey is not the kind of guy who will do anything without thinking when he gets emotional, and everything can still maintain the best balance.

"Simon, are you used to living in New York?" Su Lingxi asked with concern, upholding the humanitarian spirit of a boss. "If you need any help, you can call me directly."

Joey became the CEO of Sunrise, so of course he couldn't stay in Paris as a small manager, but he couldn't give up Simon completely. As a last resort, he had to sign Simon's contract to Sunrise, making him the only artist in the agency.

Even the brokerage department was an incomplete department established on a temporary basis - Su Lingxi remembered that Sunrise had just completed the distribution department a few months ago.

Hearing her words, Joey's smile deepened, "Of course, we will."

In fact, his thoughts at this moment were completely contrary to what Su Lingxi had guessed.

Unlike Kevin, Joey has always liked women who are sober, strong, ambitious, capable, and never give in easily since he was a child.

The "Monroe-style" blonde beauty that American men love is not very attractive to him. Instead, she is not as attractive as Nicole's calm and serious appearance on the set.

Joey knew very well that admiring the strong was a habit that he could not change. Whether choosing friends or partners, he tended to move closer to the strong, such as Kevin and Nicole.

Therefore, he never thought of retreating when faced with difficulties, let alone giving up.

On the contrary, he is very confident about the current situation.

Nicole is a workaholic, which is well known in Hollywood. Now that he has become one of the opposite sex closest to her (and a partner she actively chooses), he clearly has an advantage over others.

Be friends first, and then find the right time to become lovers.

Joey felt that his plan was perfect and he just needed to wait patiently for the right time to come - look, how gentle Nicole was being to him now, wasn't this a manifestation of her trust in him?

If nothing else, this was not a delusion born of Joey's self-satisfaction.

After all, he holds shares in Sunrise, and he and Su Lingxi form a community of interests. Su Lingxi does trust him more than she does others.

All feelings are false; only interests are real.

"Kevin mentioned Greta Mirren to me a few days ago." Thinking of the rumor, Joey asked in a relaxed tone, "I heard that you are trying to get the leading actress in her new film?"

Gossip in Hollywood always spreads quickly. Su Lingxi was not surprised by his question, nor did she intend to hide anything from him. She nodded and said frankly, "Greta is a very good and professional director. I have always hoped to have the opportunity to work with her."

No matter which country's entertainment circle, every move of first-line stars is bound to attract attention from both inside and outside the circle. Su Lingxi has long been accustomed to this.

Now she has two films in stock, "Freedom's Way" and "Angelica Madame", and can also work with master actors like Sigourney Garner. Even though many people still talk behind her back because of her foreign identity, it does not affect the fact that she has firmly stepped into the ranks of the B-list - if "Freedom's Way" can achieve both box office success and good reputation, then it is only a matter of time before she enters the A-list.

Under such circumstances, naturally, countless people would be paying close attention to the development of her next play, and many of them, like Joey, chose to ask her directly.

Of course, she wouldn't be so stupid as to tell the truth to everyone.

"Are you talking about Greta Mirren?" Kevin glanced at her sharply, as if he wanted to see through her. "If I remember correctly... Nicole, you seemed to be planning to save the schedule for your next play for another movie. What prompted you to suddenly change your mind?"

"I have to admit that you are well-informed." Su Lingxi laughed and jokingly responded, "Maybe it's because I have a passionate heart? You know, it's hard for anyone to refuse Greta Mirren. Her name symbolizes fame, doesn't it?"

Although this is just a joke, it is not completely false.

At the beginning, when Yang Qian proposed this possibility to her, Su Lingxi was hesitant.

The script structure and character settings of "Crime and Punishment" are very good, and there is a lot of room for the actors to perform. Even if the two directors are not good at suspense narrative, it does not mean that this will not be a good movie. It just makes people have more concerns.

What's more, there was the friendship between her and Tang Wanhua when they first met each other when they were both obscure - if she hadn't played the role of Guan Mingyue, which made her famous, her current acting career might not have been so smooth.

Su Lingxi doesn't think he is a good person, but he is also a person who knows how to be grateful.

Even though Tang Wanhua never intended to repay a favor, she always remembered in her heart that she had owed her a favor.

But as Yang Qian said, giving back to others can only be done under the premise that one's own interests are not harmed.

No matter how excellent the plot of "Crime and Punishment" is, it cannot cover up the shortcomings of the director's level.

Are they going to give up a better opportunity in order to repay others and choose the option whose quality is unknown?

Su Lingxi admitted that she was just an ordinary, selfish person, not as perfect as portrayed on social media.

She has put in tens of thousands of efforts and sweat to get to where she is today.

She couldn't give up an obviously better opportunity for someone else.

She, her teacher, and Eva had spent countless efforts to establish a relationship with Greta Mirren. What was it for? It was just a good role, a chance for her to become a real A-list star.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of her, she has to reach out and grab it no matter what!
