She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Chapter 459 Red Diamond Dagger

Joey shrugged. "Well, as an Oscar-winning actress, she certainly deserves our preferential treatment."

"Let me guess, was she moved by Maggie's adaptation of the script?" Su Lingxi asked again.

She seems to be very enthusiastic about talking about work at any time.

Joey glanced at her and said, "You guessed right—she really likes Maggie's stories."

"I've said before that this story is extremely attractive to most actresses." Su Lingxi smiled and clinked glasses with him happily. "Caroline is also a very fascinating character."

“Now with Norton joining, I have more confidence in this project.”

"Yeah, I think she and you must have a lot in common." Joey couldn't help but laugh, "You know, you two are really very similar in some ways."

"For example?" Su Lingxi asked curiously.

"She, like you, prefers female directors, female screenwriters, and female assistants."

"Oh, I think I know what you mean."

Meryl Norton was named Woman of the Year by Time Magazine last year, and Su Lingxi also specially read the interview with her last year.

The interview mentioned that in the past five years, she has worked with 15 female filmmakers in the film industry as a producer and an actor, and promised to work with a female director every year in the future to try her best to make content that women really want to watch.

Su Lingxi admires her ideas and courage - the difficulties faced by female filmmakers are objective facts, but not everyone has the courage to talk about such things openly.

Not every actress can put her ideas into practice like she did and still persist to this day.

Putting aside her fame and status, some of Meryl's personal traits are very similar to those of the heroine Caroline - Su Lingxi speculated that this might be one of the reasons why she was willing to take on this role.

The two people's private chat didn't last long, and soon someone came over to chat with them.

"Hey, Nicole, why don't you come and dance with us?" A pretty boy with blond hair and blue eyes emerged from the dance floor and placed his right hand on Su Lingxi's shoulder affectionately. "You are the protagonist tonight, how can you hide here and be lazy?"

Su Lingxi glanced at him, but she didn't resist the sudden physical contact. She just smiled a little lukewarmly, "I'm sorry, Nolan, I don't know how to play this song."

"Call me Christian." The blond boy still looked at her eagerly, "I, I can ask the band to change the song."

Su Lingxi glanced at the band playing in the banquet hall, holding back her laughter and nodded.

Christian immediately let go of her hand and ran away.

It seemed that he couldn't wait to negotiate with the band.

Joey pursed his lips unhappily, "He is Christian Nolan?"

"Well, don't you think he's perfect for the role of Bill Duncan?"

"I heard he's Martin Kubrick's new favorite. Maybe he will look down on our project." Joey said sullenly.

Bill Duncan is the male character with the most screen time in "The Enlightened". In name, he can be said to be the male lead, but in fact, he has even fewer screen times than the fourth female lead.

"I asked him, and if it's just a cameo, he'd be happy to help."

The corners of Joey's mouth turned down even more.

He knew without asking that this must have happened before he came.

"Nicole!" Christian trotted over. "Come here, I specially asked them to change this song. Do you like it?"

Without even looking at Joey Cox, he took her hand and led her directly to the dance floor.

“Have you seen my interview?”

"You're very quick to react." Christian smiled shyly, "Yes, I remember you said in the interview that you liked this song, so I changed it. I hope I didn't offend you."

"It's nothing." Su Lingxi was amused by his uneasy expression, "Relax, no one will blame you for such a small thing."

"I just don't want to upset a beautiful lady on such a beautiful night."

It seems that the pretty boy is not only good-looking, but also sweet-mouthed.

Perhaps beautiful things always make people feel soft-hearted. At this moment, Su Lingxi did not think that Christian was frivolous or glib. Instead, she felt more tolerant of him because of his overly sincere attitude.

Think about it, he's just a 20-year-old boy, not even the legal drinking age in the United States.

Perhaps sensing her indulgence, Christian was very attentive to her the entire evening, running around for her, bringing her food and wine, and even racking his brains to tell her a lot of funny stories from the set in order to make her happy.

Su Lingxi didn't have any special reaction to this. She just smiled and enjoyed the process of the handsome boy being attentive to her - she had to admit that this was indeed something that could make people happy.

They then danced two dances in succession, one was an elegant Viennese waltz and the other was a passionate quick tango.

After dancing, Christian wanted to follow her like a little tail, but Kevin, who appeared out of nowhere, drove him away in the name of "discussing business".

Before leaving, the blond handsome boy glared at Kevin several times with grievance.

The latter's expression did not change at all.

"Birthday present." He calmly handed over two long wooden boxes.

Kelly wanted to step forward to take it, but he avoided her without leaving a trace.

"Don't you want to open it and take a look?"

"If you don't mind, of course." Su Lingxi smiled and took it lightly.

In the long wooden box at the top was a dagger with a crystal handle inlaid with rubies. There were three rubies on the handle, which was luxurious and dazzling.

The second long wooden box contained a pair of Mancini pearl earrings. The upper part of the earrings was made of diamonds. Seven diamonds of different sizes were inlaid into a flower shape, with two 7-carat teardrop pearls hanging below, which was simple and gorgeous.

"Dagger?" Su Lingxi was obviously more interested in the other gift than the jewelry. "Why did you think of giving me a dagger as a gift?"

She has received many gifts over the years, but things like jewelry, no matter how gorgeous, can hardly arouse her feelings of surprise - because she already has enough jewelry, all kinds of them, enough to wear every day.

But this was definitely the first time she had received such a luxurious dagger.

"I think you are very suitable for using a dagger." Kevin smiled slightly, "When necessary, it can become a weapon to protect you."

The dagger was luxurious and dazzling, and in his eyes, it was just like her - it looked like just a beautiful decoration on the outside, but the blade under the scabbard was actually extremely sharp.
