In the afternoon, after lunch, Zhao An arrived at the filming base. A martial arts film was being filmed there, adapted from the novel, The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng.
Originally, they were going to film The Legend of Chu Liuxiang, but Lu Xiaofeng's story was more suitable for separate films. They were gradually introducing related martial arts characters, and then developing customized films based on their positioning. They were developing a universe similar to Marvel, with a clear plan for each stage. This was the way to plan for the long term and maximize profits.
"Hi, Boss, it's been a while." Kevin was personally leading the team this time. As president, his direct supervisor was Zhao An. Although Qian Yuling had some management responsibilities, she had never paid much attention to the US branch and had no interest in it.
"Hello, Kevin, it's been a while since we last met. Let's all relax for a while. There's a nice hot spring here, so you can relax. I'm leaving the supervision to you this time. Do your best, you're the best." Zhao An had always had confidence in Kevin. This loyal servant was shining and doing a great job as president.
"Boss, have you considered bringing Spider-Man back?" Kevin asked excitedly. Spider-Man was his favorite.
"Talk to Toby. He's a good fit and a good return. The difficult moves can be done with stunts. Also, pay attention to public opinion. He's got a good reputation, but only for Spider-Man. The Spider-Man series needs a reboot. Let's finish the negotiations first, then discuss the trilogy." Zhao An also quite liked Spider-Man, even though the original actor had a melancholic air. But it's undeniable that he portrayed the character perfectly.
The young, fresh-faced Holland wasn't quite there; his acting was spot on. Unfortunately, Zhao An was the boss, and if he said no, he meant no.
"Okay, I understand, boss. Thank you." Kevin nodded solemnly.
"Hi, boss. Long time no see. You look so handsome again!" Scarlett, the Black Widow, came over to greet him with a smile, putting aside her status as the boss of Marvel. The Android system invented by Zhao An is also very well-known in the United States, and the Iron Man movies he filmed are extremely popular there.
Zhao An put his arm around Scarlett's slender waist. "How about we go soak in the hot springs together later?"
"As you wish!" Scarlett smiled brightly. She had heard that Zhao An's cock was huge and thick, and honestly, she was kind of eager to try it.
"Hello, boss. Long time no see. You're still as handsome as ever." Haley, who played Agent Carter, also came over with a smile, wearing high heels. She was quite attractive. Not the kind of woman who would be stunning, but very attractive and very charming.
"Hello, Haley, nice to meet you. Please be kind after work." Zhao An, of course, didn't refuse to give her a kiss on the cheek, but he just gave her a sneaky kiss.
Haley didn't care. She came here to look for resources. She had been banned. She didn't know who she had offended. Now, apart from Marvel movies, she had no other movies. "Of course, of course."
Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow also arrived to greet old friends. Her belly was already slightly bulging, clearly a sign of pregnancy.
Scarlett and Haley gathered around to congratulate her. Seeing an actress pregnant was unbearable. How unlucky could it be to be so harassed that she became pregnant?
Behind the crowd, Zhao An spotted the actress playing the icy beauty Agent Hill, the Australian actress. Hailing from a country surrounded by the ocean, her unique charm was truly captivating. Not only was she beautiful, but she also possessed a seductive aura that made one want to possess her!
"Nice to meet you, beautiful agent," Zhao An said with a smile, extending his hand.
Cobie's smile also played a little. "Hello, boss, nice to meet you. My daughters love you so much. Even the kids loved your performance."
"Oh, that's an honor." A hint of lewdness played at the corner of Zhao An's mouth. A married woman? That's even better.
Cobie shuddered suddenly. She felt like she was being targeted, targeted by Zhao An, the hungry wolf. The sight of Gwyneth's pregnant belly made her a little nervous. Then she shook her head. She was already married, so it was okay.
If Cobie knew Zhao An had impregnated both Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth and her mother, she probably wouldn't have thought so.
And Zhao An had plenty of ways to keep her, to torture and rape her!
As his prey appeared one by one, Zhao An's heart began to grow excited. Filming was certainly one priority, but getting these actresses pregnant was secondary!
As for whether pregnancy would affect their upcoming filming schedule, that wasn't something Zhao An needed to worry about. He had plenty of doubles; he could use them as needed.
Many of the actors were watching the scene on set. This was their first experience with martial arts films. Previously, martial arts films rarely made it to Hollywood, and Hollywood wasn't welcoming of them.
However, Zhao An's Iron Man was an exception. With the blessing of financial giants, the so-called film critics were completely humiliated. There was indeed one reckless person who criticized Zhao An, a mainland Chinese, for playing Iron Man and even declared that he wouldn't vote for him.
The next day, his family was in the news: all five were killed in an explosion. Initial suspicions were that a gas leak had occurred, but that was a lie; it was obvious it was retaliation. So everyone in Hollywood knew Zhao An was a tough guy. Even though Zhao An hadn't appeared in the United States, his legend never faded.
This is why actors held him in such high regard, because Zhao An was known for killing people at the slightest disagreement. Besides, there was nothing the US could do about him. Even if he wasn't in the limelight, his legend still lived on. Accusing Zhao An of hiring a hitman was unrealistic. The victims all had grudges against him, but he had no contact with them, which was quite puzzling.
To put it another way, opposing Zhao An would inevitably lead to bad luck, and when bad luck arrived, death would follow. It was that simple, no fancy words. It was just bad luck, and one couldn't resist it, and then died. As for implicating his family, that was just bad luck, that's how it was.
