"Yes! Moving into entertainment media. Well, Avengers 3 invested $1 billion right? We'll do ten times more, $10 billion!" Evan nodded casually. Hearing this, Adam was instantly confused. Mr. Smith really had an abnormal mindset. Just days ago he had spent so much in the livestreaming industry, and now less than five days later, he decided to pour $10 billion into entertainment?Just how much money did he have?!"Right, I'll write a script in five days, then we start shooting. As TikToc's first film, I hope you can find some international mega stars to act. Once the movie succeeds, our fame will shoot beyond Elysia directly into the global film industry!""...Five days? And Mr. Smith is writing the script himself?""Yup, any issues with that?" Evan asked."..."Adam continued, "Are those international stars auditioning for the male and female leads?""Nope! They're all supporting roles, might even play villains!" Evan suddenly felt Adam was asking too many questions."..."Adam: "Then
After reporting to Mr. Smith, Adam heaved yet another deep sigh and embarked on another round of phone calls.Of course, this time it was to domestic A-list actors and actresses. Though the stars were different, the result was the same - he called them all, but no one agreed.These top actors and actresses naturally knew of TikToc and their shocking investments in recent days. But when they heard a livestream company wanted them to star in, direct and act in their own movie, they all laughed inwardly.You're just bored with too much money to burn, messing around?You can play with your money, but I won't gamble my reputation to act in your crappy vanity project!Left with no choice, Adam could only compromise and pick a second-tier actor below the very top - Scarlett. And even then, it was only after Adam promised to double her salary that she agreed to take the role!With the lead actress down, he still had to pick some supporting roles and villains. Adam made nearly a hundred more c
Back in his office, Adam eagerly opened Evan's script, and despite mentally bracing himself, still nearly suffocated from the shock!A masterpiece! It had to be a masterpiece! Such a story, such plot twists, such an ending, it was leagues beyond human capabilities for decades!Unthinkable, just unthinkable that 18-year-old Mr. Smith could create such a perfect work! Absolutely unbelievable!Amazing! Just amazing!Mr. Smith really is a genius!Ah, he had indeed underestimated Mr. Smith. Wealthy, strategic, handsome, what kind of being was he?!My god, he's absolutely divine!Adam's face twitched violently. With a script like this, even a cast of newcomers could easily gross over $1 billion. A guaranteed moneymaker! He hurriedly called Scarlett, Logan and Lucy:"You must come to the company in three days for the ritual ceremony before filming starts. I've read the script, I guarantee even if you're not the leads this time, you'll still become hugely popular. So treasure this opportunit
After conveying her greatest respect to Adam's team, the hosts also arrived excitedly for the ceremony—they had read the script too!These were naturally Tiktoc and YouClub's currently most popular hosts—Michelle, Paige, Violet!After the hosts gathered, Scarlett, Logan and Lucy finally sauntered in arrogantly. As soon as they entered, they acted like divas, finding faults here and there, ordering Tiktoc staff to serve them tea and breakfast, even run errands!This disgusted Tiktoc staff, the hosts and Ava. These people clearly hadn't read the script. Otherwise, how could they still act so haughtily? They should have a devout attitude, grateful to Tiktoc for such an amazing script!Not reading the script yet daring to attend the ritual ceremony?Still acting so arrogant?Thinking they were already Oscar Royalty? How revolting!Just as Tiktoc staff and hosts were sickened by Scarlett, Logan and Lucy's behavior, an unexpected incident occurred—Evan didn't show up!The reason was simple—
Evan looked left and right, confirming only Ava was with him. So he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you talking to me?""Who else could I be talking to, a ghost? Is anyone else here except that woman who slept her way up?"Scarlett looked at Evan arrogantly and contemptuously."Hurry up and get someone useful here. I have to fly back to Hengdian Studios this afternoon to shoot another film. Hmph, your simple crew putting on airs. I'm a Queen-level star, Logan and Lucy are A-listers. Without us, your film's box office will be zero!""Hmph hmph!" Evan just hmph-ed in response!Evan was nonchalant, just hmph-ing. But Ava wouldn't stand for Scarlett speaking to Evan and herself like that!She had endured Scarlett's bullying on the plane, but now bullying her crush was too much, even for gentle Ava. So she retorted:"I don't think the crew is being arrogant, you are! From boarding, you've been fault-finding and complaining. If you don't want the role you don't have to take it, do you car
"Right, you asshole, how does tattling benefit you? Can you replace us as the lead?" Logan echoed for Scarlett. Having a lackey inform on them to displease the producers was disgraceful in showbiz!"Hmph, only an asshole like you would snitch. We can complain about you too! At most our pay is docked for your tattling. But we can get you fired!" Lucy whipped out her phone, pretending to call Adam."What are you doing? Did Evan do anything wrong? You're the bullies!"Ava squeezed over to grab Lucy's phone. She knew from Evan's sister Bella about their family's situation. She had thought Evan's job was hard-earned, and if he lost it from these three, how would he pay tuition and living expenses for school?"Silly girl, don't worry!"Evan gently held Ava's hand, stepping forward to shield her and meeting Scarlett's gaze. Grinning, he said, "Yes, I informed on you. You're clearly unsuitable for my crew. I don't want to give you this chance for global stardom either!""Bastard, who's giving
Ang Lee was a renowned director, and his words carried a lot of weight, naturally dispelling much of Ava's doubts. But Ava still had suspicions, and she continued to ask with her pretty face raised, "You're not Jesse Smith? Then why did this movie call you?""Actually, how could I not wish I were the investor Jesse Smith? $20 billion, I could just lie at home every day and wait for death. Why bother working so hard to earn tuition!" Evan's lips curled up slightly, and he grinned mischievously, "But the question you just asked was a good one! I'll tell you the real reason now!"With that, he placed his phone in Ava's palm and opened his Twitter. "Look, the video of me street dancing at your film academy last time went viral in the Moments, and I don't know why Tiktoc actually found me based on this video where my face can't be seen clearly! So here I am!""And the reason I changed my name to Jesse Smith is that the male lead in this script is a masked man, and the audience won't see my
Night.The filming of 'Age of Immortal Heroes' was still going strong. Despite the late hour, everyone's enthusiasm hadn't waned one bit. On the contrary, they were working even harder - the script was excellent, the director was brilliant, and even the 18-year-old Evan was acting better than them. What reason did they have not to give it their all?They were all striving for their futures!When the day's filming was finally completed, it was already 3am the next day!Evan signaled to Ang Lee, who immediately announced loudly on set: "Thank you everyone for your cooperation. Today we filmed five scenes - scene 1, scene 7, scene 13, scene 22, and scene 31. Everyone performed very well, but please remember we still have to come back at 9am tomorrow. And tomorrow our task will be even more arduous - 12 scenes! Alright everyone, go get some rest!"After everyone had left, Evan packed up his things and prepared to head back to the hotel."Evan!" Ava chased after Evan."Hmm?" Evan turned ar
