Entertainment: Starting as a Succubus, Taking Hollywood by Storm Chapter 196 - 194: A Stunning Movie

Martin and Leonardo hit it off unexpectedly well.

The two shared common interests—basketball and beautiful won.

Moreover, Leonardo turned out to be a fan of Martin's books. Surprisingly, his favorite wasn't Harry Potter or Twilight, but rather Kung Fu Panda.

"... That's so cool—Kung Fu and a panda? How did you even co up with that?"

"Probably because I love Panda." (TL/N: True, not because he loves Chinese Culture)

"Honestly, Martin, I've seen the video where you shot a cheetah and beat up Ben Affleck. Do you actually know kung fu?"

"Well, I've learned a bit of combat, so archery, and horseback riding. I'd say I'm pretty good at it!"

The two chatted until the movie started, finding themselves quite like-minded. Leonardo even invited Martin to attend a Lakers ga with him.

Technically, such premiere events are ant for networking in the industry, but as top-tier figures in Hollywood, neither of them cared much about the formalities—they had the clout to ignore them.

The cinema darkened.

The big screen lit up with the opening animation of "Myers Films" featuring a panda practicing Tai Chi.

This was followed by the "Blossom Pictures" logo—a few abstract flowers.

The movie officially began.

Eric Knoss (played by Sam Rockwell), the founder of Knoss High-Tech Engineering, had just completed the design of a voice recognition software. However, he was unexpectedly kidnapped. This software, which was more accurate than the traditional fingerprint recognition used in cri-solving, could cause catastrophic consequences if it fell into the wrong hands...

As the team grappled with Eric's disappearance, Mr. Wood, the head of Knoss Engineering, realized that only Charlie and his three smart, sexy agents could save him. Wood promptly hired them, pinning all his hopes on Charlie and his "Angels."

In the movie, Jessica played the leading role—Natalie (originally portrayed by Caron Diaz). Scarlett took on the third lead—Alex (originally Lucy Liu's role), and Drew Barrymore reprised her original role as the second lead, Dylan.

When the three stunning won made their entrance accompanied by a stylish background score, the audience fell into a brief silence.

Martin could clearly hear soone nearby swallowing hard—it was Leonardo!

Jessica Alba, walking in the center, sported a black pair of slim-fit jeans, a red stretch T-shirt, and a beige light trench coat, exuding a sharp and dashing vibe.

To her right, Drew Barrymore wore high heels, snug capri pants, a crop top, and a cowboy hat, with a lollipop casually in her mouth—adorable with a hint of sexy.

But the most alluring of all was Scarlett, the youngest of the trio, striding on Jessica's left. Dressed in black hot pants, a black crop top, and black boots, her explosive figure was on full display. With every step, her chest rose and fell dramatically, as if about to burst out.

The three won, walking side by side in slow motion on the street, exuded an unbeatable swagger.

People on the street couldn't help but turn their heads. One man walked straight into a utility pole, a couple argued because the man couldn't take his eyes off them, and even a dog turned to look and fell into a ditch...

This sequence, brimming with humor, elicited a burst of laughter from the audience.

Soon after, as the Angels showcased their skills, gasps of amazent echoed through the cinema.

Sexy won paired with exceptional combat skills were bound to send the adrenaline of male viewers soaring.

At the sa ti, the Angels' trendy outfits and the scenes where won repeatedly outwitted n captivated the female audience.

This was precisely why Charlie's Angels had been such a hit in the original tiline.

Then, Lindsay made her debut as a hacker. Though her screen ti was limited, she left a strong impression.

Wearing a high school uniform, black-frad glasses, and a lollipop in her mouth, she was the epito of cute.

The hacker profession, already alluring due to its mysterious nature, beca even more intriguing when portrayed by Lindsay as an unconventional and adorable high school hacker.

The film also featured a homage—Drew Barrymore's character visited a house where two kids were playing video gas.

The house was the sa one Drew's character lived in during E.T.

Another major highlight was the costu design, overseen by New York designer Joseph Aulis.

He created approximately two thousand outfits for the three female leads. Drawing inspiration from Broadway dancer attire, the costus were both form-fitting and flexible, designed to be sexy yet combat-ready.

The snug, elastic outfits accentuated the actresses' stunning figures during action scenes, sparking endless imagination among male viewers—all without revealing too much. Judging by the frequent sounds of gulping in the theater, this approach clearly worked.

Martin knew he had another success on his hands, and Jessica, Scarlett, and Drew had all delivered stellar performances.

As for Lindsay, while her role left an impression, it didn't offer much room for her to shine.

But that wasn't a problem—Martin already had plans for her with the an Girls script.

That film, which had catapulted Lindsay to fa in the original tiline, would be perfect for her youthful charm.

When the theater lights ca back on, applause erupted, accompanied by whistles.

The male audience mbers were clearly thrilled.

Even Leonardo couldn't help but wonder, "It's so weird—nothing explicit was shown, yet why is it so exciting?"

True sensuality isn't about total exposure—it's about the tantalizing promise of what's just out of reach.

Drew led the actresses on stage to thank the audience.

Journalists fired off nurous questions, most of which the won handled effortlessly. After all, most of the dia present had been carefully vetted and weren't going to ask anything too provocative.

For the rare, tougher questions laced with malice or traps, Drew stepped in with her extensive experience in handling the press.

Later that night, Martin and the actresses gathered at his private Beverly Hills mansion. This property had yet to be publicized, offering a secluded retreat.

It was a night of celebration.

The won all had vivid dreams—

One dread of soaring into the clouds; another of plunging into an abyss; one imagined herself transford into a galloping horse; and yet another...

In short, everyone was delighted.

And of course, Martin was the happiest of all!
