Just like those girls who come to Hollywood to try their luck, countless small workshops are established every day, and the same number of them declare bankruptcy.
The two form a tacit balance, maintaining the bustling and noisy life at the bottom of Hollywood.
At the same time, it is also regarded by large companies as a "newbie training class" and "blood supply station"
Once they discover a newcomer with potential, they will rush towards him/her, waving their huge cash capital and trying every means to make him/her their own.
No one can refuse the invitation of the Seventh Major, this is the only way out for the other party.
If someone refuses... just destroy it...
No one wants to see this hard-earned balance broken by external forces.
"Don't reject an invitation from a big shot in person. Always be humble..."
These were two pieces of advice given to him by his boss before he left. As soon as he found an office, Hardy had them made into a photo and hung in his office as a warning.
Now, he needs to take the first step for himself and Duke Films.
The first step is important, always, but especially so for Duke Films.
Because, just the day before yesterday they were a group of low-class people who only knew how to make "educational films", but today they have become the rising stars of Hollywood.
Obviously, not everyone can accept this kind of change. Most people feel like they are walking on soft clouds, feeling light and floating, and always worrying that they will fall down at the next second.
Not only did I lose my beautiful dream, but even my qualification to dream was shattered.
Panic is terribly contagious, more terrible than any disease in the world, and Hardy must build up their confidence before they are defeated by fear.
Let everyone firmly believe that 'Duke' is their bright future.
"The Fortunes", seeing the new script in the mailbox, Hardy rubbed his hands and couldn't wait to open it, with an obscene expression like a pervert who saw a naked woman.
As a first-time boss, Hardy is actually no stronger than the others, and has enough experience and confidence to lead the entire team.
He... was just holding on! The reason he remained calm and not overwhelmed by fear was the script his boss had promised him.
This was the only possibility for the company to survive, because Hardy had no clue and never thought that he would one day come to Hollywood and become a legitimate member.
Making a movie... Wow, what does that feel like? ...
"Do you really believe he can do it?"
Back at the manor, Amanda still couldn't figure out how he could make such a ridiculous decision.
How could a small director from the Sacred Valley, who specialized in making NC-17 films, possibly defeat the cunning wolves and tigers in Hollywood?
"There are no wolves, tigers or leopards, because he will become famous in one battle and become the only dark horse in Hollywood in recent years, a lucky golden boy...
When you achieve success, everyone will treat you kindly..."
Amanda obviously didn't agree with his opinion, but this was his business and he should have made the decision . I could only give her a friendly reminder out of friendship.
"Okay, don't think about it. Do you want to go surfing together?"
Amanda turned around and grabbed the corner of her clothes, flipping them up and saying as she walked away, "I'd better stay in the yard and sunbathe."
Li Zhenyu, holding a surfboard under his arm and ready to set off, looked at the sky outside, then turned his head to look at Amanda outside the window, who was doing warm-up exercises with her arms raised high and her fingers crossed oppositely by the swimming pool.
Li Zhenyu suddenly realized that today was a bad day and it was not easy to surf, so it would be better to stay at home and swim.
Amanda left the manor that afternoon. She took long steps before leaving and clenched her left fist. She looked aggressive, as if she was going to cause trouble for someone.
After getting in the car, Amanda took out her cell phone and dialed the number of her assistant in New York.
"Manny, I need you to help me arrange a meeting with Dr. Stephen... I'll be meeting him at the clinic tonight. Yes, I'm having some problems with my teeth."
Amanda swore to God that she would absolutely, absolutely...
She will never try the Asian hot dog again. She will never forget this terrible experience.
Standing by the swimming pool facing the moonlight, Li Zhenyu's expression was awkward yet smiling. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
And that missing tooth might be lying somewhere under the swimming pool.
"Coco~"
"I'm here, boss."
"Have someone change the water in the pool tomorrow. Also, check carefully to see if there are any teeth in there, so they don't clog the pipes."
"……OK."
Li Keke stared at the swimming pool with suspicion, really wanting to know what happened here during the day.
[The Heart of a Socialite: With your handsome looks, strong physique, and superb skills, you can win the heart of a socialite. Show off your mature and charming masculine charm. Rewards are being compiled]
[Reward: 0.3% of Hearst Group’s shares]
Looking at the virtual reward screen in front of him, Li Zhenyu took a sip of coffee with satisfaction.
Such a gain was worth his risk.
No venture, no gain? Who said this? It makes no sense at all. He just proved it wrong with facts.
As long as you have sufficiently advanced hunting skills and a little patience, you can get everything you want without entering the tiger's den.
The prerequisite is to have a face that is so handsome that no one can refuse it, and also to be able to make a sweet Asian hot dog.
"Brother, I'm here."
Early in the morning, Li Zhenyu received a call from Zhao Yingjun, and he was almost at the gate of the manor.
"Come on, I've prepared breakfast, just waiting for you."
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhenyu asked his secretary Caien, "Where is Lu?"
“It’s almost there.”
"Where is my butler, and the chef who should be standing in the dining room, preparing a sumptuous breakfast? Where are they?"
Caien looked awkwardly at Li Keke, the temporary chef in the kitchen, and said, "I have tried my best to find a suitable candidate, but... there are not many people who can be trusted and meet the requirements."
"Just trying your best is not enough. I want to see my butler and my chef. Do you understand?"
"Yes, boss."
Caien was not the first secretary to travel with him on business, but she was the first one who made him question her abilities.
It took so long just to find a team to manage the manor.
What was she hesitating about, or was there some strange thought mixed in that was slowing down the progress.
After Caien left, Li Zhenyu stopped Li Keke, who was about to return to the kitchen after delivering breakfast, and asked, "What's the problem?"
"I think it's because Caien is not familiar enough with the environment here, and the resources she can mobilize are limited."
"Then call Secretary An. She has a whole secretarial office at her disposal. Do you think you're some medieval lone ranger?"
