She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Chapter 437 Vanity Fair Party

"Nicole!" A familiar, smiling voice sounded behind her. Without anyone reminding her, Su Lingxi reacted immediately and put on the most sincere smile.

"Joey, you're here." She turned around, quickly put away her phone, and handed it to Kelly next to her along with her handbag. "You're here just in time. There are many important people here right now."

"I'm sorry, I'm late. I really hope I didn't miss anything." Joey blinked his clear green eyes, with the corners of his eyes drooping slightly, looking very lovable.

Su Lingxi smiled and gave him a hug. "Did you come here specially to congratulate me? Where's Kevin? I remember he booked a spot for the celebration party tonight. Why didn't he come?"

Although he was a little annoyed by her suddenly asking about other men, thinking that Kevin was one of the heroes of this award season, Joey barely suppressed his unhappiness and answered casually, "Maybe Uncle Richard assigned him some new task. He has been so busy these days that I haven't seen him much in the company."

The company he was referring to was, of course, Sunrise Films, not Columbia Pictures.

Su Lingxi nodded thoughtfully and stopped dwelling on the topic. "By the way, Mark Egger just talked to me about the Liar Game project. What do you think..."

"Come on, Nicole, I'm here to cheer you up as a friend. Do we have to keep talking about work at this time?" Joey pouted and interrupted her with a depressed look, "Or do you think I'm not a good listener, so you don't want to talk to me about anything other than work - even for a second?"

By the end of his speech, his tone had changed from depressed to aggrieved.

At first glance, it looks like a puppy that got wet in the rain.

Su Lingxi looked at him and suddenly remembered what a friend from her previous life had said about her.

She said, you always have the ability to make men change for you.

This evaluation is actually not very appropriate.

At least, when it comes to Joey, Su Lingxi never thought of deliberately changing him.

It was he who took the initiative to seek change.

Thinking back to the confrontational atmosphere when they first met, Su Lingxi felt that the Joey in front of her was a little strange.

At that time, no one could have imagined that the arrogant Master Cox would one day learn to be submissive and even try to please others.

"Why do you think so? To me, you are certainly a trustworthy partner."

Su Lingxi's facial features are already delicate and bright, and once her expression becomes lively, she is even more beautiful and enchanting.

Joey was stunned for a few seconds by her gaze. When he came to his senses, his neck and face turned red.

...Are you so easy to please?

Su Lingxi glanced at the suspicious blush and suddenly felt a little suspicious.

Noticing the change in her eyes, Joey nervously changed the subject, "I know, I just... want to introduce you to a very talented screenwriter."

"Screenwriter? Are you a newcomer?" Su Lingxi was indeed diverted by his words.

"I guess so. She's been working in Paris before and has written some scripts, but the market response wasn't very good." Joey nervously took out his business card from his suit pocket and showed it to her. He quickly glanced at her, then lowered his head to cover up and said, "I just happened to read her new story a month ago and found it very interesting, so I thought of introducing it to you."

In fact, he lied.

He and the screenwriter named Maggie did not meet by chance. If he had not known that the other party had a slight friendship with Nicole, he would not have paid attention to the email sent by a screenwriter who had no such name in Hollywood.

But since he was determined to use this incident to gain Nicole's favor, he had to embellish himself a little.

Nicole has always preferred capable and talented people, so she should also like this type of man.

Joey secretly glanced at Nicole again and saw that there was nothing strange on her expression. Instead, she was attracted by the business card. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan, otherwise Nicole would have noticed it before he even took action - there was no way, she was too perceptive when it came to capturing people's emotions.

Joey silently repeated to himself, "Love requires attraction," while trying his best to adjust his mindset so as not to reveal his true colors again.

"After she's done with this busy period, you can ask her to bring the script directly to the company. It's better to talk about things like this face to face. What do you think?" Although she has a strong personality, Su Lingxi still respects the opinions of her partners.

"Sure, I think that's fine." Joey agreed readily, "I'll convey your opinion to her."

Su Lingxi nodded, and just followed the topic to talk about work with him again. "Mr. Iger's advice is very inspiring to me. As he said, since we plan to adapt "Liar Game" into a real battle royale movie, we should be more thorough and try to reduce the emotional entanglements between the protagonists. This will better highlight the key points."

Joey was complaining in his heart, but he hid it well on his face. "This is indeed a good idea. There are a considerable number of audiences in the market who are keen on this type of movie, and the audience of this type of movie has little overlap with the audience of romance movies. If the actors have no objection, this idea is indeed worth trying."

"Liar Game" is Sunrise Films' largest and most expensive project this year, so even during the awards season, Su Lingxi has always kept this project in mind and would come up with new ideas from time to time.

The Vanity Fair celebration party was the most lively social occasion on Oscar night. Often a project could be negotiated or a role secured in just a few minutes. Even though Joey Cox and Su Lingxi were partners in name only, they were destined not to occupy too much of her time.

"Nicole, maybe I should call you the lucky winner of the Oscar?" After finishing his conversation with Tracy, Martin Kubrick walked towards them and said with a smile, "You won beautifully tonight. No matter how gorgeous the jewelry is, it will pale in comparison with you. But - what do you think of the script of Salome?"

He asked directly, but he was not asking for himself, but for an old friend of his.

Su Lingxi gave Joey an apologetic look, then turned to look at Martin Kubrick and said sincerely, "Oh, Martin, this sounds like a good project. I will find time to read the script carefully, but you know, at least I have to wait until I'm done with this busy period..."
