Fine, Chen Zhao reluctantly accepted the price.
"When will we start filming?" Chen Zhao asked.
"I'll let you know. The crew is still in preparation. Oh, Vincent has a role in the movie too."
"Oh, what's his role?"
"One of the robbers, the driver of the bank robbery case. He died in the hands of the Mexicans."
Chen Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Then he asked, "Oh, my role won't die, right?"
"Definitely not, I promise you," Steven replied half-jokingly.
"Oh, did you hire those two new bodyguards?"
Steven nodded. "Just a few days ago, when I was attending an event, a stranger approached me, but he was stopped by the security of the event venue. That person took out a gun and injured one of the security guards. After that day, I hired these two bodyguards."
"You're not hurt, right?"
"I'm fine. I was just a bit scared." Steven shook his head. At his age, he had everything, but he was more afraid of death.
This was human nature. Chen Zhao was afraid of death too, let alone Steven.
Steven had already prepared the contract. Chen Zhao signed it.
"Oh, are you no longer in contact with Yafen Livana?" Steven asked.
Chen Zhao thought about it. Hollywood was a very practical place.
Yafen had gotten that role more or less because of him.
She had almost no foundation in Hollywood. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked for his help after filming Steven's last movie.
If he cut off this connection, all her efforts would be in vain.
"If possible, give her a chance. I think she'll be a good actress."
Yafen didn't even have a representative work in Hollywood.
No representative work meant that no one would remember her. No one would remember her, which meant that she had failed.
There were too many actresses like Yafen in Hollywood. They were very homogenous.
Yafen definitely wasn't the most outstanding. If she didn't have a representative work or a memorable role, she would be lost in the crowd.
"You still have feelings for her?"
"She's a good actress and very hardworking," Chen Zhao answered ambiguously.
Feelings? Chen Zhao didn't think that he would have any special feelings for Yafen.
But at least he had a period of time with her, and they had parted on good terms.
When he told Yafen that he had a girlfriend, Yafen even gave him her blessings.
Whether she was sincere or not, Chen Zhao hoped that Yafen could succeed in Hollywood.
At the very least, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state right now, where he had to put in so much effort to deal with a small character.
"What do you think of her as the female lead?" Steven asked.
"Kate's reporter role?"
In this script, the protagonist became David, and the heroine was Kate, who dared to expose the truth.
"If you think she can, of course," Chen Zhao said.
But could Steven decide on the female lead?
Chen Zhao wasn't in Hollywood, but he knew that the distribution of roles in a movie wasn't decided by the director alone.
If it was the second or third lead, the director might be able to decide. But for the female lead, there were too many problems to consider.
"This is my movie. I have the final say," Steven said calmly.
Chen Zhao glanced at Steven. He almost forgot that this was one of the famous directors in Hollywood.
The box office had accumulated to billions. Steven wasn't the kind of person who relied on sequels. He never filmed sequels.
Even if the six major film companies wanted Steven to film, they wouldn't dare to touch his crew.
This was Hollywood. This was reality.
As long as you proved your talent and box office appeal, you could do whatever you wanted.
Steven was one of the most successful directors in Hollywood and even the world.
He had the ability to ask for more power, even the editing of the movie.
Many times, the final movie produced by some directors was completely different from the final product. It was a problem of editing.
This was also the difference between a famous director and a regular one. Even Chen Zhao, who didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, had heard of Steven back in China.
"If she really has this chance, I'll thank you on her behalf."
"If you really want to thank me, then halve the cost of hiring Amon."
"Don't even think about it."
Just then, a bodyguard in black walked in. "Sir, there's a woman outside who wants to see you."
"What's her name?"
"Lucy."
"Yeah, it's her. Tell her I'm not free." Steven waved his hand.
"I should go, Steven."
"Okay." Steven stood up and hugged Chen Zhao.
"Can I take this big lobster away?"
"You * sshole," Steven scolded jokingly. "You just scammed a few hundred thousand dollars from me. This lobster is worth eight thousand."
"Bye."
Chen Zhao walked out of the restaurant and took out his phone. "Hello, Yafen."
"Chen, how come you have time to call me today? Did you break up with your girlfriend? If you need comfort, I'm here anytime. "
"I just talked to Steven. You might have a chance to be the female lead in his new movie. Prepare yourself. I can't promise you anything, but you have a good chance."
"Really? Chen, are you telling the truth? Female lead? Can I? "
"Please, it's not confirmed yet. Don't be so excited," Chen Zhao said calmly. "The female lead is a reporter. She's more independent, so I can't reveal more information. I hope you can have this chance."
"Chen, thank you. If you have any needs, I'll satisfy you. Any position."
Yafen teased Chen Zhao without hiding it. Thinking of Yafen's beautiful body, Chen Zhao felt hot.
But he still maintained his rationality. He'd just think about it. If he actually did it, he'd be too stupid.
Perhaps Chen Zhao wasn't someone who'd be faithful forever, but he wouldn't be the first person to betray his partner.
Although it was very satisfying to have two partners, not many women could accept their men and feelings to be shared with others.
At least, Chen Zhao didn't think he was that lucky.
Just then, a pair of long legs appeared before Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao looked up along the seductive legs. It was a flirtatious woman.
Chen Zhao recognized her. He'd treated her before.
"You are …"
"Lucy, did you forget? You've seen my body. "
Chen Zhao remembered Lucy, but only that time, she'd suspected that he'd contracted STD.
The so-called body seeing was probably just a physical examination.
