"Go. What are you waiting for?" Brother Bao urged.
But just then, Yafen and Lucy walked toward Chen Zhao.
Li He and Brother Bao's expressions froze.
Yafen and Lucy were true A-listers in Hollywood. Through Steven's "Angry Sea Detective", they were now well-known actresses.
The two stars were chatting happily with Chen Zhao.
"Can you really do whatever you want with a kid?" Li He murmured.
Brother Bao's eyes flashed. He regretted it.
If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have let Li He leave Chen Zhao's side.
That way, when Yafen and Lucy went over, Li He could get to know them.
Chen Ke looked at Chen Zhao. She knew that Chen Zhao knew Yafen.
But it seemed that he was close to Lucy too.
They seemed to be chatting and laughing. Their relationship wasn't normal.
Brother Bao wanted Li He to join in the fun.
Just then, James walked over.
"Miss Chen."
"Mr. James," Chen Ke greeted.
"Hi, Mr. James," Li He greeted too.
"Hi, young man. Are you an actor from China too?"
"Yes, Mr. James. I hope we can work together."
"Ha … I hope so." James chuckled. "Miss Chen, do you see that guy over there? He's Mr. Rasfa, the chairman of PLM. Come with me to say hi."
Chen Ke, Li He, and Brother Bao all gasped.
The chairman of PLM was at the peak of Hollywood.
But just then, Rasfa saw Chen Zhao too.
He immediately walked toward Chen Zhao.
"Chen, I heard that you have a daughter. How about it? Your daughter can be my goddaughter. I'll make her the brightest star in Hollywood."
"I promised Steven."
"What? That * sshole. Why did he not promise me? "
"Who told you to say it now?"
…
Chen Ke, Li He, and Brother Bao were all stunned.
"Mr. James, he knows Mr. Rasfa?"
"Yes, they're good friends," James said. "Your cousin was the one who helped me talk to Mr. Rasfa," James said. "I became the executive director."
Chen Ke gasped in astonishment.
Li He and Brother Bao were dumbfounded. What was going on?
Wasn't that person here to freeload?
How did he suddenly know a superstar and the chairman of PLM?
"Since your cousin is here, there's no need for me to introduce Mr. Rasfa to you. Go over yourself. I believe your cousin will introduce him to you."
After James left, Bao and Li He both looked at Chen Zhao.
No wonder he could get a role in Hollywood. It turned out that he had such a cousin as a backer.
"Miss Chen, why don't we go together?" Brother Bao said.
"I don't have a good relationship with my cousin."
"We're all family. What's so bad about it?" Brother Bao advised.
But at this moment, Steven walked in from outside.
Everyone's eyes were on Steven.
He was the main character tonight. Even the male and female leads were not as dazzling as Steven.
It was a godly movie with a godly box office record.
Now, there was a rumor going around in Hollywood. The six major companies were saying that as long as Steven was willing to accept their employment, he could choose any script, budget, actors, and editing rights.
The global box office was 3.5 billion dollars. What kind of concept was that?
Last year, the global box office of all Hollywood movies was 39.9 billion dollars. This meant that Steven's movie accounted for 9% of Hollywood's global box office.
Last year, the total box office in North America was 11 billion dollars. Sea Patrol's North American box office was 2 billion dollars. This was close to 20% of the box office.
Last year, the third-largest box office in Japan had only been 2 billion dollars.
Hollywood was the most developed place in the movie industry. It was also the place where the box office was the most important.
This box office was enough for Steven to stand above all directors.
Moreover, the film had received unanimous approval from the critics.
Even the most crafty filmmakers would find it hard to say no.
It could be said that Sea Patrol was the perfect combination of art and commercial film.
As for Steven himself, he knew very well that this deified movie didn't have much of a core or meaning to it.
It could be said that everything was guessed.
Chen Zhao had never admitted it, but Steven understood.
Chen Zhao was the one who had helped him the most.
He was even the one who had pushed him to the peak of his career.
Steven searched for Chen Zhao in the crowd. When he saw Chen Zhao and Rasfa, he gave them the middle finger.
Chen Zhao and Rasfa did not stand on ceremony either. They both gave him the middle finger.
However, Steven could not go over and greet Chen Zhao right now.
He had to go to the front desk and say a few words.
Along the way, acquaintances kept coming over to congratulate Steven or try to get close to him.
"Your cousin knows Steven?" Brother Bao's face was full of shock.
Steven did not hide his action at all.
Many people in the banquet hall saw it.
"They're good friends." Chen Ke was also a bit jealous.
Brother Bao and Li He gasped.
Right now, Brother Bao and Li He were both a bit regretful.
Only now did Li He realize that Steven was here to eat and drink.
But he knew the host of the banquet.
Ding, ding.
Steven tapped his spoon against the side of the goblet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet."
"I'm very happy that everyone came to my movie celebration banquet. Of course, I also have to thank Rasfa for sponsoring this banquet." Steven joked with Rasfa first.
The guests all laughed along. What a joke. Steven had earned two billion for PLM with less than fifty million dollars. He had even pulled up PLM's stock price.
His ability to create profits had probably surpassed all the directors in the world.
This year, PLM's income, box office revenue, and stock price were probably higher than the other companies in the Big Six.
Rasfa would probably be happy to host a hundred banquets, let alone one banquet.
"Other than thanking Rasfa for giving me money to make the movie, I also have to thank another good friend for helping me. Chen, thank you for your support."
Chen Ke, Li He, and Brother Bao were all shocked. Steven was thanking a friend so solemnly at a celebration banquet like this?
And this person was Chen Zhao, who did not seem to have any presence at the banquet.
"Of course, he's also my goddaughter's father," Steven said, smiling. "Chen, can you bring my goddaughter here?"
"I object," Rasfa said loudly. "Chen, we met first," Rasfa said loudly. "Your daughter should be my goddaughter, not this old bastard's."
