She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"Lillian Davis..." Kevin Cowan put down his goblet and leaned back on his spacious sofa. "Do you want to recommend her to play the leading role in The Death of Romanticism?"

His tone was very calm, but Su Lingxi could sense the doubt hidden in his eyes.

"No, what I mean is that if we encounter similar film projects in the future, we can pay more attention to her." Su Lingxi thought for a moment and said pertinently, "I have found out that Davis' primary goal at this stage is transformation. She wants to go the mainstream commercial route rather than being a youth idol. So, when she encounters a commercial film like "Taken", she is even willing to reduce her salary to act in it."

Kevin laughed contemptuously. "I assume that you have really studied Davis's information in depth. Then you should know that her acting skills are not worth even a few million dollars. No producer would be willing to let her play the leading role in a mainstream commercial film. That would be tantamount to throwing money into the water."

"Well, I just think her fame might help us expand the visibility of our project." Su Lingxi shrugged. "Since you strongly object, I will take back this suggestion."

Kevin glanced at her calmly and said, "Being complacent because of an audition is not the mentality a future superstar should have."

There was so much sarcasm in his words that he was almost openly blaming her for bossing him around.

Su Lingxi pretended not to understand what he meant and coughed softly, "It's just an audition. No one can rest assured until the result is finalized."

"Sunrise is nominally my and Joey's company, after all. Even though you're better at playing by the rules of Hollywood than we are, I can't really push all the work onto you."

Hearing this, Kevin paused in pouring the wine, looked up and made eye contact with her.

"Thank God, you haven't completely lost your mind." He pulled the corner of his mouth with a fake smile, "But you are lucky. Avedon is busy organizing IP inspections recently, and there are fewer people watching me in Columbia. I can help you with the Death of Romanticism project."

Jeff Avedon is the president of Columbia Pictures and Kevin's immediate superior. While he appreciates his work ability, he also often tries to check and balance him.

Now that he is too busy to spare any time, Kevin encounters fewer obstacles no matter what he does.

"You mean, I can give you full authority to take charge of the project?" Su Lingxi asked knowingly, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble? After all, you are also our shareholder..."

Kevin lowered his voice and coughed a few times. "This movie was not originally a large-scale investment project that Columbia valued. It didn't take much time from project approval to official release."

"Okay, then I will tell Joey about the need to find actors, and he will contact you on all matters in this regard." Su Lingxi smiled knowingly, "I hope he will not let you down."

If it wasn't for the purpose of restoring his friendship with Joey, how could Kevin, who is so arrogant, condescend to work for her and introduce projects to them?

"I hope so. He has been a stubborn guy since he was a child." Kevin shook his head, obviously not wanting to talk more about this topic with her. "So - even if Li Shuo is only willing to give you a letter of intent, you are determined to act in his new film?"

"Let me correct you. The letter of intent is just a temporary contract. Maybe it will be upgraded to a formal contract in two months." Su Lingxi said seriously, "And at this stage, his script is the most touching to me. If I like the theme and role of this movie, why shouldn't I try my best to take it?"

"Yeah, maybe you'll be terminated and kicked out in two months. After all, everything is only temporary." Kevin retorted without showing any weakness, "I really don't understand. You don't even know who the screenwriter and producer are, but you dare to put all your eggs in this basket. To be honest, Li Shuo's directing ability is far inferior to Kubrick's. This is a fact recognized by everyone, isn't it?"

"But Martin Kubrick has no plans to make a new film for the whole of next year. I must seize the opportunity in front of me first. You know, time waits for no one." In response to Kevin's question, Su Lingxi answered concisely.

In fact, since the news that Sigourney Garner will star in "Evelyn & Charlotte" is still confidential, Su Lingxi did not reveal this to him - she dared to guarantee that if Kevin knew that she would have the opportunity to act with Sigourney, his expression would immediately change.

"Well, whatever you want. I'm just giving you my advice, that's all." Kevin softened his tone and spread his hands.

After all, what kind of movies she made and what plans she had had were none of his business. If it weren't for her relationship with Joey, he wouldn't have asked a single question today.

Thinking of this, Kevin coldly withdrew his gaze, secretly blaming himself for doing something unnecessary.

Su Lingxi noticed the change in the atmosphere, but did not choose to blindly obey his attitude. Instead, he asked in a tone of seeking advice, "If it were you, what method would you use to promote this matter? Would bringing your own investment be an advantage that can be utilized?"

Kevin curled his lips, and his originally impatient mood was soothed by her tone. "Additional investment? If you want to use this to make Li Shuo want you, it's probably difficult to achieve the effect you imagine."

Su Lingxi didn't understand what he meant. "But this is a very tempting condition for most directors—"

"So you think Li Shuo is like most directors in this matter?" Kevin's eyes were full of straightforward ridicule, "He will also make up his mind to choose you because of your low salary and the investment that may not even be able to raise a million dollars?"

Although his words were a bit harsh, Su Lingxi's original intention was to learn from him some "unspoken rules" of Hollywood that she didn't know about, so no matter how bad his attitude was, she didn't need to argue with him at this moment.

"It sounds like you have a different opinion on this matter." Su Lingxi took the opportunity to ask: "If you don't mind... tell me about it?"
