[Chapter 119: Sweetheart Jennifer Connelly]
The next morning, all their passion had settled completely. Jennifer lay softly on Linton's chest, her fair hands absentmindedly tracing small circles as she asked the question weighing on her mind.
"Honey, did I pass the second round of auditions?"
"Jennifer, don't worry. You're the leading lady. The production team will et with you and your agent today to discuss the contract details."
"Really? That's wonderful! Mmm..." Jennifer planted a sweet kiss on him.
"Jennifer, give your best performance in this film. I want it to beco your signature role. Also, start dance training as soon as possible. The movie demands a lot of dance skills."
"Thank you for giving such a great opportunity. I promise to put my heart into it. Once the contract is signed today, I'll begin intense dance practice -- our dance scenes won't be any less impressive than your debut."
"Alright. I believe this film will launch you as a Hollywood superstar. It's about ti we got up." Linton pressed a button on the bedside.
...
Soon, the butler Amy delivered two bags and retreated. Each bag contained a brand-new Dior outfit, including lingerie and dresses.
Jennifer was surprised. "I was just about to ask my agent to arrange for clothes to be delivered. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. But I'm curious, how did Amy know my asurents?"
"When you arrived last night, I told Amy. She's an experienced butler and can accurately estimate soone's size. She imdiately contacted the Dior boutique to send two sets tailored to your asurents."
"You're so considerate, and you're amazing. I don't want to leave you."
"Then don't leave. I like having you around."
"I'll co by again tonight."
"Sure, anyti. Just call David first so he can drive you here and avoid the paparazzi."
"Alright, let's freshen up and have breakfast."
...
In the bathroom, Jennifer blushed when she saw the huge bathtub, big enough to be a swimming pool. She excitedly asked, "Tonight, can we try in the tub?"
"Absolutely. It'll be a fantastic experience. I'll wait for you tonight."
After breakfast, they both left the estate to focus on their work.

Linton headed to the set of Step Up 2. From the list provided by Mira at the William Morris Agency, Linton, Frank, Anne, and Silva selected key crew mbers -- the director of photography, props master, makeup artists, and stylists.
All other preparations, including casting for remaining roles, were entrusted to Frank, Anne, and Silva.
...
The overwhelming success of Step Up brought a great benefit: Before Step Up 2 had even started production, Brown Company and Pepsi approached the team to propose product placent sponsorships.
Step Up had turned these two companies into big winners. After the film's release, sales soared visibly. For a sponsorship fee of just $2 million, the advertising impact was at least $5 million.
Of course, nobody knew the film would be such a hit beforehand -- the initial investnt was a big risk.
Now that Step Up 2 was green-lit, both companies quickly ca forward, eager to prevent competitors from entering and offering market-expected prices without performance-based conditions.
Brown Company agreed to sponsor $500,000 worth of wardrobes for the lead actress, plus $4.5 million for the movie.
Pepsi secured at least three cara shots for product placent and contributed $5 million in sponsorship.
Linton was very pleased with these deals. Frank, Anne, and Silva were stunned. The film had not even started shooting, yet most of its costs were already covered. What could be better than that?
Contracts with Brown Company and Pepsi were quickly signed, with paynts structured as 30% upfront, 40% at production, and 30% at release. Both companies soon paid the first installnt.
....
Brown Company arranged for designers to visit the lead actress one week later to take detailed asurents and create various costus as per the script.
The crew planned to design distinctive outfits for the male lead, inspired by the first film, for rchandising purposes.
...
Regarding the leads, Frank soon finalized deals with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer's agent, signing actor contracts.
Leonardo was then struggling with his image transformation, with his previous attempts having flopped, so he accepted a modest $200,000 fee.
Jennifer, who had gained so fa, signed for $450,000.
---
The crew rented a large dance studio and three smaller ones near Universal, where Leonardo and Jennifer began intense training under the guidance of choreographer David.
Linton noticed Anne's radiant glow and good spirits that morning, obviously pleased from sothing last night.
It was clear her plans had gone well. It was uncertain whether she initiated things with Leonardo or if he pursued her.

Over the next few days, Jennifer practiced dance diligently during the day and ca to Linton's estate every evening to release her passion through intimate encounters.
After each session, Linton gifted Jennifer with doses of vitality, making her skin more radiant, her spirit lively, and her beauty even more striking.
Of course, Linton was also very fond of Jennifer's morable assets, often fondling them with love, much to her delight.
Previously, Jennifer had been troubled by their size and had considered breast reduction surgery. But now, seeing Linton's affection, she abandoned the idea altogether.
...
During a break, Jennifer noticed four bedrooms upstairs were occupied by won and curiously asked Linton about it.
Linton candidly explained the situation of the won in his life and asked if she wanted to join, emphasizing honesty.
Although initially uncomfortable with Linton's many relationships, Jennifer, thinking of his many benefits and power -- especially after days of intimate bonding -- reluctantly agreed to claim a room upstairs.
Linton let her choose her room and asked Amy to assist with the decoration. He also encouraged her to pick out a $300,000 car for her exclusive use at the estate.
This helped Jennifer shed her awkwardness. She kissed Linton affectionately, beginning another round of passion.
To Linton's surprise, Jennifer chose a black Cadillac Dodge with top specs costing nearly $200,000.
A week later, worried that Jennifer's nightly visits to the estate might affect her dance practice and script studying, Linton temporarily stopped the daily encounters.
...
Jennifer then devoted herself fully to preparing for the film -- practicing dance during the day, taking private acting lessons at night to analyze the script and improve her skills, and coming to the estate on weekends to relax and connect.
