"Well, I have to admit that he is a marketing genius who is naturally sensitive to public opinion." Kelly fiddled with her laptop in the speeding business car and sighed, "You and Sigourney Garner's names have both topped the Twitter global trend, as well as the US trend, UK trend, and French trend... The number of tweets discussed has also exceeded 24 million in 400 hours..."

"Well, a lot of young people on Twitter were curious about who you are, and some fans in Ghana were asking why a nobody could work with their Oscar-winning actress."

Kelly looked through the tweets, occasionally repeating a sentence or two, her tone full of sarcasm.

Even though she was maliciously called a "nobody", Su Lingxi did not get angry. Instead, she could understand the feelings of these fans.

Sigourney has been popular in Hollywood for decades. She has always been a representative of powerful actors. Most of her fans are young and middle-aged people who already have stable jobs and families, and they are considered the mainstream group among North American audiences.

This group of people tend to prefer local films, and "The Rose Thorn" and "Night Dreams in Paris", two films that have achieved good results at European film festivals, are obviously not in their selection range. Without even watching the works, naturally there is no way to know the name of Su Lingxi.

Of course, she did not feel discouraged by this anticipated situation, but instead became even more motivated - these people felt unfamiliar with her or even disliked her because they did not know her and had not seen her performances, but if she could conquer them with her performance, it would be equivalent to expanding her box office appeal and audience base.

This is a good thing with no disadvantages and only benefits.

"Honestly, Nicole, you should try to act in a purely commercial film." Kelly said, her thoughts were almost the same as Su Lingxi's. "You can have more fighting scenes, or exciting scenes that make people's adrenaline soar. You know, this kind of film may not have much artistic value, but the threshold for watching movies is much lower than that of art films, which is very beneficial to you at this stage."

Action, adventure... These types of films are often regarded by new movie stars as the best weapon to increase national awareness. As long as the reputation is not too bad, the benefits of starring in such a commercial film will definitely outweigh the disadvantages - after all, even in Hollywood, there are not many films each year that can achieve commercial success while also gaining wide recognition at film festivals.

Su Lingxi knew that Kelly was giving her sincere advice, so she immediately smiled and said, "Please, dear, do you think I don't want such a good opportunity? But now all we can do is wait patiently, right?"

Thinking of the other party's purpose of flying to New York in advance, Kelly sighed and comforted her sincerely: "Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, Nicole, I believe your opportunity will come soon."

A dark light flashed across Su Lingxi's eyes, "I hope so."

To some extent, Kelly's prediction was not without reason - in fifteen minutes, she would arrive at Kevin Cowan's private residence, and if everything went well, then perhaps today's conversation would be her "opportunity".

"Tea or coffee?" After meeting again after more than half a year, Kevin Cowan's attitude towards her was much more relaxed than before. "Cake? Chocolate? Either?"

"Thank you, two cups of coffee will be fine." Su Lingxi pointed at himself and Yang Qian and said frankly.

She could easily guess the real reason behind Kevin's change in attitude towards her.

One of the reasons is probably that she unexpectedly convinced many foreign judges and successfully won the title of Venice Film Festival Best Actress; the second reason is most likely the successful cooperation between her and Li Shuo.

Kevin probably didn't expect that she could accomplish these two things by relying on the team and herself.

So he had to start re-examining her value as a partner.

And his attitude changed not because of Joey or anyone else - it was simply because of the ability she herself demonstrated.

After realizing this, Su Lingxi felt unprecedented joy in his heart.

"I heard that your new movie will start shooting in California at the end of June?" Kevin came over and kindly filled their cups with coffee. "Do you want me to recommend some attractions for you? The sunshine in California in June is very good. It's a very suitable season for traveling."

Yang Qian glanced at the coffee and smiled at him politely. "Mr. Cowan, you may not know that Mr. Li specifically reminded us that the filming period of Evelyn & Charlotte is only four months. In order to hand in a perfect work within four months, all entertainment activities must be stopped."

These harsh words did not change Kevin's expression at all. He smiled warmly as before, but with a hint of helplessness in his smile. "I should have thought of this earlier. Li's style has always been like this. It's obvious - a common problem among perfectionists."

Then, he changed the subject and looked at Su Lingxi again, "Since Evelyn & Charlotte will start filming at the end of June, then let's schedule the large-scale release of Judgment in North America in early June, the second weekend after the closing ceremony of Cannes. What do you think?"

"You mean, we'll open the cinemas on weekends right after Cannes?" Su Lingxi thought about the rough cut he had seen not long ago and nodded. "Okay, I have no problem with the schedule."

Kevin nodded slightly. "Our initial plan is this: We will hold the premiere in Cannes on May 5, and then release it in Japan on May 18 on a large scale with 5 screens. The premiere will last for five days, including two days of advance screening..."

"In early June, North America and Europe will release the film simultaneously on a large scale. At the end of June, all regions in China will release the film..."

When talking about the film's release date and distribution, Kevin became as energetic as a fish returning to the sea.

Su Lingxi listened quietly for a while, and when he paused, she smiled and added, "There is also the Shanghai International Film Festival in early June. I remember Liangzi mentioned it before. This is an international event that will definitely help us promote our film."

"Of course, this event is very important." Kevin smiled, the same formulaic smile as hers, "Thanks for the reminder."
