People had to experience a lot of things in their lives and spend a long time. An insensible girl might just be a small stone in Lynch's life.
It fell into the long river of time, and the ripples returned to normal before they touched the shore.
That day, Fox called Lynch and invited him to film the upcoming "The Adventures of Lynch 2", also known as "Shocking Voyage".
At the same time, he also needed to inform Lynch that the board of directors was going to hold a meeting for the sake of going public.
Fox Pictures had been preparing for the listing for a long time, but it had been delayed again and again. They had even cut half of "The Adventures of Lynch 2" and reshot it.
In order to get a good momentum as soon as they went public, they decided to give up shooting in the studio and move the scenes to a real luxury cruise ship, the same one that was always there.
This increased the budget of the movie by a lot, but the board of directors had no objections. They also thought that doing so would help quickly increase the stock price of Fox Pictures after the company went public.
More budget, bigger scenes, more advanced technology, all of these meant that the movie would become history.
Whether it succeeded or failed, it would be the same.
Now that the movie was finished, they were preparing for the premiere.
Whether Lynch was the protagonist of the movie or a major shareholder of the company, he had to go.
Then, he asked Anna to help him arrange the itinerary.
In early August, the rising steam on the ground turned Lal 'Timor into purgatory.
It was a bit exaggerated, but it was really hot!
What was even hotter was the enthusiasm of the people!
The streets were full of young men and women in avant-garde clothes. They had come here to follow in the footsteps of the stars, or hoping to be discovered by a talent scout and change their lives.
Many people thought that being an actor was a very easy job, but in fact, it was not easy.
In the morning, Penny woke up from the air-conditioned room. She kicked away the thin velvet quilt on her body, turned around and sat up. After washing up, she greeted Nelly, who was already up.
The two girls were getting along well for some reason. During the time in Lal 'Timor, Penny lived in Nelly's villa.
She didn't buy it, it was distributed by the company. The entire community was in a similar situation.
The production company or management company bought the entire community and arranged for the artists under the company to live there.
Those who weren't famous would live in houses that weren't as good. Furthermore, there might be a dozen to twenty people squeezing into a villa.
If they were famous or had already become stars, then they might live in a villa with two people or one person.
The true portrayal of the cruelty of society was vividly displayed here. Compared to the group of girls across the street who even had to line up to go to the toilet and were full of longing for the future, the situation here was much better.
The two girls left after breakfast. Lynch arrived here in the morning. He would go to the company for a meeting first and then attend the premiere in the evening.
They had to wait for him and walk around with him.
When they went out, the door of the villa opposite them opened. A few girls were also dressed up. Nelly knew one of the girls. She waved her hand, and the girl opposite responded.
The girl walked over naturally. "Do you have work in the morning too?"
Nelly shook her head. She hesitated for a moment. "It's personal. What about you?"
She saw that these girls were all pulling suitcases and had some guesses. "Are you going somewhere else to shoot something?"
"No!"
The girl said with a smile, "There are auditions. There are several …"
Nelly was a little surprised, and a sincere smile appeared on her face. "I wish you success. I told the company last time that I hope you can join my movie. The company said that they will consider it …"
After the two girls chatted for a while, the girl left.
As soon as she left, Penny pursed her lips and said sarcastically, "What a hypocrite. When she smiles, she looks like a 20-yuan prostitute by the roadside. How did you know her?"
After spending a long time with Penny, Nelly also knew that this girl could be really mean sometimes. Her words were very hurtful!
Their relationship with Lynch was semi-transparent. Almost everyone in the Federation knew this. This also allowed Penny to completely let herself go.
She wanted to be the "true self". Her personality was a little bad, but there were also people who liked her "frankness".
Sometimes, when she made gestures to the media or said vulgar words that were published or broadcasted, many young people liked her crazily.
They felt that she was a real girl, unlike those fake and pitiful people who were hypocritical from the beginning to the end.
In addition, she liked to play and wear strange clothes, so her influence among the young people was growing.
Nelly's situation was the opposite. She was quiet and polite, and those who liked her were often slightly older. These people happened to be the "pillars" of this era.
They were in their prime and had the spending power, so her status in the entertainment industry was steadily rising.
The two complemented each other, making their on-screen team very popular. Some audiences kept writing to Fox Pictures, hoping to see a classic scene in the movie — a fight.
It was said that Fox Pictures promised that this scene would happen, which many people were looking forward to. After all, the fight in the last commercial was too real, as if it was real!
The two girls playfully drove away. Nelly's former roommate looked at the taillights of the car with envy and jealousy. Her gaze was a little deep. After a while, she was awakened by her roommate's touch.
A bus stopped in front of them. Yes, it was a bus, but it was not very big.
Sitting on the bus, as the car swayed, the scenery outside the window began to escape quickly. The atmosphere on the bus was very dull, and no one spoke.
Everyone knew very well what their next job was. The company hoped to gain something at the awards ceremony at the end of the year, so they had to do a good job of public relations.
In the Federation, whether a movie was an "award-winning movie" or not was not decided by the audience or the film critics. It had to be decided by the people from the film academy.
There were a total of 50 voters, and they could decide whether a movie could win an award or not.
In fact, the movies that applied for various awards every year were very outstanding. No one would use a bad movie to apply for an award, so everyone had to make a choice among many movies. It was a very difficult choice.
But if there was interference at this time … it seemed to become simple.
Yes, public relations. The mission of the people on the bus was to persuade the film critics who held the voting rights to let them vote for Fox Pictures.
Half an hour later, the girl was transferred to a private villa in a van. She was greeted by an old man who looked to be about 60 years old and was only wearing a thin nightgown.
Under the nightgown was his bloated and out of shape body. There were some age spots on his face, and he looked older than his actual age. At this time, he was smiling and observing the girl as if he was looking at a product.
Then he nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked to the sofa to sit down. "Child, what are you waiting for?"
The girl took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile. She had to stay here for the whole day. She had no choice. This was the only way for an ordinary person like her to realize her dream …
On the other side, in the new office building of Fox Pictures, Lynch sat in a chair by the window. Behind him was half of Laraldia.
The scorching sun made the whole city heat up. From here, it looked like the air was boiling.
Everything became distorted after the steaming air, and it did not seem so real.
Little Fox was still reading out some things, including some possible situations after the listing, and some contracts.
It was all very old-fashioned, and Lynch did not pay attention to it.
The board of directors was very concerned about this. After all, it involved everyone's interests. Lynch did not care too much, and this little bit of money was not that attractive to him anymore.
He also owned shares of Fox Pictures. To a certain extent, he was repaying Mr. Fox's "friendship".
He stood firm and did not say a word, so Lynch also had to repay the old man.
Owning the company's shares was the best way. Just because his name was among the shareholders, it could increase the hidden assets of Fox Pictures.
When everything was over, it was almost noon. Lin Qi declined the invitation to have lunch with Little Fox and the other members of the board of directors. He met the two girls in the VIP room of the company.
"Wow, did you miss me?"
Penny jumped up and hugged Lynch.
Lynch was a little helpless. "You have to be more reserved. You're an adult."
"Who said that adults have to be reserved?"
She pouted and kissed Lynch's face. Lynch pushed her head away in disgust.
"You're so disgusting. You're drooling …" He "removed" Penny from his body and threw her on the sofa. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his cheeks. He did not forget to add, "So disgusting!"
Sometimes, some things were very interesting. Penny's … let's just say the media called it honesty. For an "old man" like Lynch, it was actually very lethal.
If a girl was very tactful, reserved, not so proactive, and expressed her feelings in a reserved manner, he might not touch her for the rest of his life.
It was not that there was something wrong with his body. It was just that he had experienced too much. These things were no longer attractive to him.
His heart was very calm. If there was a quiet girl, the two of them could sit face to face for an entire day and nothing would happen.
However, she was different. She was like a huge rock that fell from the sky and smashed into the lake. The waves that she created directly wet the shore of the lake!
Therefore, Lynch did not dislike her. As for Nelly … he was relatively "quiet".
After the two of them hugged, they talked about where to go in the afternoon.
