Wang Jian, leaving the party, had understood that tonight’s events, in one way or another, were orchestrated against him.
The purpose, it seed, was similar to Hollywood’s "Red couch," aiming for a "tit for tat" exchange?
"However, Naomi Watts, with her fiery red lips, considering her height and acting skills, seed quite a match for Joseph Gordon."
He looked at the woman in front with a scrutinizing gaze while his thoughts uncontrollably shifted from a writer to a capitalist mindset.
"If an actor, through participating in various productions of a website, could grow from obscurity to national fa."
"Then in the future... surely, many actors would be willing to lower their fees to partake in films and dramas produced by the website, right?"
"You know, the film adaptations of Stephen King’s works have a very low percentage of the production cost going to actor’s fees."
Wang Jian pondered for a mont, feeling that Naomi, having starred in ’Prison Break,’ could potentially have that kind of influence.
So... perhaps he should play along?
After all, she was quite attractive.
anwhile, Naomi, leading the way, felt uncomfortable upon noticing Wang Jian’s gaze.
"It feels... like being sized up as a product in a supermarket."
She stomped her high heels deliberately, making a crisp "tap, tap" sound.
"I think I stepped on so gum at the party," Naomi casually explained.
She tossed her golden hair as she opened the door to her apartnt.
"Red wine, champagne, Wang, what would you like to drink?"
"So spring water will do," Wang Jian casually sat on the sofa, curious to see how this ’white chocolate truffle’ would unwrap itself.
He thought about the elaborate pretext of a birthday used by the other party and reflected on the n at the party trying to attract attention, he couldn’t help but marvel: this was power!
But then, the apartnt’s doorbell rang, and a young female voice ca through.
"Nami, I’m about to go for the audition, and I’m really nervous!"
Naomi put down the glass of water, giving Wang Jian an apologetic look.
Then, she opened the door, and exclaid in surprise.
"Vera, what are you doing here?"
Vera Farmiga?
How did they beco so acquainted?
Wang Jian turned to look and saw a brown-haired Catwoman, confiding in a blonde girl in a gothic long dress.
"I’m so envious of you getting straight to the final audition, while I still have to get through ABC’s preliminary selection."
"I really want the chance to play ’run’ in ’Anomalies’!"
"Ahem," Naomi coughed, pointing towards Wang Jian on the sofa.
"I still have a guest here."
Hearing this, Vera quickly stood up straight, "Hello, I’m Naomi’s friend, Vera Farmiga. You are..."
"Wang Jian?!" she exclaid in delight, "I didn’t expect to et you here!"
"I’ve been wanting to co to the apartnt to get your autograph!"
"Your ’Anomalies’ is terrific; I love ’run’ the most!"
Frankly, Wang Jian was a bit lost in the situation at this mont.
There was one more person...
Could he have been wrong? Maybe the entertainnt industry did have so boundaries?
Indeed, being too greedy from prolonged contact with Lehman, and his thoughts turned vile from too much contact with Jas!
Wang Jian shook hands with Vera sowhat regretfully, thinking, "It seems there’s no chance to witness the drama stars’ ’performance’ live."
Naomi pulled Vera to sit on the other side of the sofa.
"Why did you leave the party so soon?"
"I have to go to ABC tomorrow for the initial audition of ’Anomalies,’" Vera leaned on Naomi’s shoulder, "I’m feeling very nervous."
Naomi, with a quick glance, smilingly suggested, "Since we have ti now, why don’t we review your performance together?"
"Wang, could you give us so guidance on our acting from the author’s perspective?"
Uh...
Can’t see that kind of "performance," but this kind?
Wang Jian looked at his watch, resignedly said, "Alright."
"Yes!" Vera exclaid excitedly, waving her arms. "To receive guidance from the author before the audition, I’m really lucky!"
Naomi tugged at Vera’s arm, reminding her, "This is a rare opportunity, you should think carefully about which part you want to perform."
Vera took out a disc and handed it to Naomi.
"I’ve already decided! But I think it would be better with so music."
"Wang, would that be okay?"
Design the scene yourself, match it with music.
Wang Jian nodded, "This Vera Farmiga is really putting in the effort."
But as the music began to play, he felt sothing was amiss.
Smooth jazz?
This kind of music is often used in art films to create an ambiguous atmosphere.
What does this have to do with ’Anomalies’?
He looked up and saw Vera, acting like a real cat, slowly crouching on the ground and even shaking her tail used for decoration.
"Big cat, I’ve missed you since you’ve been gone for so long."
"Next ti, wherever you go, you have to take with you, okay? Because..." Vera licked the corner of her mouth, "you are my master!"
Watching this 20-sothing-year-old, brown-haired beauty dressed in Catwoman attire, Wang Jian took another sip of water from his cup.
Most crucially, she even crawled into his lap!
anwhile, Naomi had taken off her coat to reveal a black lace dress.
She stroked Vera’s head and then whispered in Wang Jian’s ear.
"Thank you for the clothes you bought ; I’ve never worn anything so new."
"You’ve taken in and cared for ; I’ve never been so happy!"
Naomi blew gently, "So, how should I repay you, Mr. Inspector?"
What the fuck...
Wang Jian suddenly felt that he could no longer look at ’Anomalies and Creatures’ the sa way again, especially the vampires and cats!
It turned out he hadn’t misunderstood.
But instead of one white chocolate heart, there were two!
"Actually..." Wang Jian swallowed, "these two actresses really suit the image."
As they say: A calm and clear night lifts the spirits; a mont in spring is worth a thousand gold pieces.
A beautiful scene on a party night, not failing ’Anomalies’ nor man.
Soon, amidst the gentle jazz, a few heavy breaths could be heard in the room.
...
anwhile, in ABC’s office.
Jas, having just hung up the phone, began massaging his temples with his fingers.
"Drew Barrymore, Nicole Kidman, Caron Diaz..."
"’Anomalies and Creatures,’ has it beco an arena for Hollywood’s second-tier actresses?"
He checked the production budget and soon started shaking his head.
"It still has to primarily match the character fit; after all, they aren’t Julia Roberts, they don’t have a built-in fanbase!"
"Joseph Gordon really is suitable for the male lead, Wang’s suggestion is good."
He thought about the events of the past few days and smirked.
He then mumbled to himself, "It’s just a matter of whether he can still remain impartial or not."
