Hollywood Director 1992

#116 - Eat some tofu

The dinner party ended, and everyone waved goodbye in the parking lot.

The noisy group of people scattered in the blink of an eye.

"Zun Long's personality is quite strange. He didn't say more than ten sentences before and after the two meals."

Link said as he started the car.

"He seems to be quite introverted and doesn't like socializing. Chen Chong probably dragged him out to accompany her again."

Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

"I heard he likes Chen Chong?"

"It seems so. Chen Chong also knows this, so she brought him to the dinner party. However, Chen Chong is very competitive and likes strong men. Zun Long is too soft, like a big girl. Chen Chong can't possibly like him."

"It's a pity, wasting Zun Long's face for nothing."

"The most important thing for a man is ability. Being capable is more important than being handsome."

Liu Xiaoli said with a smile.

"That's why I keep working hard. I don't just want to be a handsome guy, but also a capable handsome guy."

"Who said you? Shameless."

Liu Xiaoli scoffed.

"Mommy, my tummy is so full."

Liu Qianqian rubbed her little belly and hummed.

"Who told you to eat so much? Go for a walk when we get back to help you digest before going to sleep."

Liu Xiaoli took a tissue and helped her wipe the grease off her face.

"Uncle Link made me eat it. If I didn't eat it, Uncle Link would keep giving it to me, and then I got too full."

"Haha, you heartless little girl. I saw you eating non-stop and thought you liked those dishes, so I kept giving you food. Now that you're full, you're blaming me?"

Link said with a smile.

"Even if I like to eat, I can't eat three bowls. Uncle Link added four bowls for me. In the end, I couldn't finish it, and there was still a lot of delicious food left. It's too wasteful."

Liu Qianqian's little mouth kept babbling.

"You silly girl, if you can't eat it, just say you're full. Who told you to keep eating? I think you're just greedy."

Liu Xiaoli poked her forehead.

"No, I'm not greedy."

Liu Qianqian crossed her little arms and retorted.

"Your mother is greedy, and you were born from your mother, so you are also greedy."

Link said with a smile.

"Is that so?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Liu Xiaoli.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's the greedy one."

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Link, "Chen Chong and the others mentioned at the dinner table that it's not easy to be a Chinese actor. What do you think?"

"I haven't thought about it. Just say what you want to say. We're family, there's nothing we can't say."

Link said with a smile.

Having been taken advantage of by him a few times, Liu Xiaoli began to get used to it, and now she doesn't even give him a look when she hears this kind of nonsense.

"They invited you to dinner and mentioned that it's not easy for Chinese actors in Hollywood because they want to ask you for help and arrange a few roles for them in future movies."

"Being in a foreign country, it's understandable."

"It's good that you understand. Don't modify the script just to help them. It's not easy for us to gain a foothold in the industry. Sometimes a little carelessness can lead to losses in film investment.

Inserting Chinese roles in European and American movies not only doesn't help the box office, but also affects the overall revenue. If the movie loses money, will they return the film salary out of consideration for being compatriots?

Definitely not.

People who come to the United States to make a living, no matter how noble they were before, after a long time here, they all become selfish and only have money in their eyes. They are worse to their compatriots than to anyone else. I've been in the United States for more than half a year and have heard many stories of Chinese people cheating each other.

So when filming a movie, you should still focus on making the movie well, just like before, and don't think too much about other things. If anyone asks you for a role, let me deal with them."

After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she poked his back shoulder, "Are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening. What you're saying is that when filming a movie, the movie should be the priority, and you shouldn't consider personal relationships, right?"

Link smiled.

"That's about right. Your career is so big now, many people are eyeing you, hoping to have a chance to bite you. Chen Chong and the others are the same. The more it is at this time, the more careful you have to be, don't give them a chance."

"You're right, caution is the parent of safety. Sister Xiaoli, it's so good to have you by my side."

"Hmph, you know my good now? As long as you don't mess around and bully me, I will always be good to you."

In the rearview mirror, Liu Xiaoli's cheeks were red, her eyes looked dazzling under the light, and the thin corners of her lips curled up into a tempting arc, sweeter than the candied cherries just now.

"Liu Xiaoli, you are so beautiful."

"Don't talk nonsense, focus on driving."

Liu Xiaoli shyly patted his back.

After sending Liu Xiaoli and the little girl back to the Rex Apartment, Link took advantage of the little girl's inattention and hugged Liu Xiaoli and kissed her a few times. Liu Xiaoli almost kicked him to death after she reacted.

Back in the car, he received two text messages on his phone.

Chen Chong asked him if he had arrived home, that she enjoyed chatting with him just now, and hoped to have a chance to invite him to dinner alone.

无一错 一首 一发 一内 一容 一 在 一一看 !

Link replied okay, we'll talk about it when we have time.

The other message was from Wu Junmei, also asking him if he had arrived home, telling him to be careful on the road, and then inviting him to visit her home, saying that she would make a lot of Chinese food.

Link also replied okay.

Driving back to the Golden Oak Apartment, Monica was still awake, leaning on the sofa near the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a pink suspender nightgown, her plump breasts slightly exposed, a cashmere blanket covering her legs, and her feet with red manicures exposed from under the blanket.

A glass of red wine was placed on the small table.

She was holding the "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" script in her hand.

This movie is about the Miami Dolphins mascot being stolen before the game. Jim Carrey plays an animal detective who accepts the commission to find the dolphin, and a series of nonsensical stories happen during the search.

Monica's original role was the female lead, the beautiful agent of the Miami Dolphins team.

After reading the script, Monica felt that the female supporting role was more interesting and more challenging to play.

The female supporting role, Iris Finkle, is the main villain in the movie, a mature, beautiful, and sexy transvestite, and also the culprit who kidnapped the Dolphins mascot.

Tom Shadyac, the director, also believed that Monica was more suitable to play the female supporting role.

So this role was given to Monica.

"Why aren't the lights on?"

Link turned on the chandelier in the small living room, making the whole house brighter.

"You're back. It wasn't this dark in the house when I was reading the script just now."

Monica got up from the sofa, her thick long curly hair draped over her shoulders, the silk nightgown clinging to her full chest and flat abdomen, and the looming curves under the skirt were particularly charming in the light.

"Have you eaten?"

Link put his arms around her waist and kissed her.

"I've eaten. You weren't here, so I just made a plate of spaghetti."

"Do you want to eat a little more? The amount of exercise tonight might be a bit much."

"Haha, then are you still eating?"

Monica laughed, hanging on him.

"I was just busy talking at the party and didn't eat much. I can have a little more with you."

"Okay, I'll go make it."

Monica kissed him and walked into the kitchen in her slippers.

Link took a shower, changed into soft clothes, and when he came to the dining room, Monica had already prepared the meal, which was a fragrant seaweed soup and a few hot pizzas.

Link wasn't too hungry, so he drank a small bowl of soup.

The two chatted about the agency's affairs while eating. Originally, he planned to start an agency and hand it over to Monica to manage, and sign Renée Zellweger, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and others.

It's just that Monica wasn't very interested in starting a business and making money.

Compared to managing a company and making money, she preferred acting, shopping, beauty yoga, taking photos for fashion magazines, etc.

She liked everything that maintained beauty.

Link didn't persuade her to pursue a career. Compared to Jennifer, who had a stronger career ambition, he preferred Monica, who had a little bit of career ambition, but not much.

Very Italian style.
