The actresses who came this time were all established stars. The recent financial crisis had caused a cash flow problem; ordinary people couldn't even repay their loans, let alone afford to go to the movies. Furthermore, the companies' financial difficulties meant that many films couldn't be made, and resources were concentrated in the hands of large companies, leaving most actors without roles.
This is why they traveled such a long distance to come. If they didn't want to make money, what was the point of staying in the entertainment industry?
After his passionate encounter with the pregnant foreign woman, Zhao An went to the living room, changed into casual clothes, and didn't wear a formal suit. There was no need for that unless there was a specific requirement or a formal occasion.
The actresses were waiting in the living room. They had received the scripts and were very interested in them, so they flew in. They were caught in the financial crisis, and many films couldn't be made, but Zhao An's company continued to produce movies as usual. In his words, making movies was a hobby; making money was just one aspect of the enjoyment.
To date, every film Zhao An has directed has grossed over one billion yuan. Whether it's a superhero movie or a traditional martial arts film, the execution is impeccable. The feeling is exhilarating, highly immersive, and almost irresistible.
The actresses exchanged greetings, their outfits all exuding fashionable beauty.
Cate Blanchett is a very charismatic woman. In her previous life, she rose to fame with *The Lord of the Rings*, launching a classic acting career. In this world, Zhao An had already bought the rights to *The Lord of the Rings* before filming even began, and was preparing to raise funds for production. Zhao An forcibly acquired the rights through overseas connections. Although some people found it strange beforehand, he sold it for three hundred million US dollars. Money is hard to earn, and three hundred million US dollars for a script and rights is an astronomical price.
At this moment, Blanchett had already received an offer for a role in the *Lord of the Rings* movie, which she accepted. However, she was later informed that the rights had been sold, and if she wanted to continue acting, she would have to go to mainland China to negotiate with the director. She herself was quite interested in Zhao An; after all, his films consistently achieved high box office returns and received excellent reviews, making them rare gems. They were both critically acclaimed and financially successful.
Before this, only the Spider-Man trilogy had been this profitable; none of the others could compare.
Besides the charismatic Cate Blanchett, there was the veteran actress Charlize Theron, and the newcomer Amber Heard—all top-tier beauties. There was the charismatic Blanchett, the uniquely elegant Charlize Theron, and the sexy and alluring Amber Heard—mature beauties to choose from.
"Welcome to my turf, ladies. Enjoy your coffee?" Zhao An entered the living room refreshed and sat down, exuding a powerful aura that was both gentle and authoritative.
The three women immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards him. Zhao An's presence was incredibly captivating to women; simply standing there was enough to draw their attention. His unique aura made him adept at manipulating women. He could play the innocent girl role if he wanted, or the rape and sex slave role; he could do whatever he pleased.
"Very good coffee, thank you for the treat." Blanchett picked up her coffee and took a sip, expressing her gratitude.
"Very good coffee." Charlize also picked up her coffee and took a sip.
"It's delicious, thank you." Amber even winked, a hint of flirtatious enticement in her eyes. This made Blanchett and Charlize look down on her. They were serious actresses, and they despised women who flaunted their bodies. What kind of actresses were they? They were prostitutes!
Zhao An laughed heartily, took out a cigarette, and his female secretary lit it for him. "Have you all read the script? Do you have any thoughts on the characters? This is a trial run. If it goes well, there will be a sequel, and you might get roles in other films. If it doesn't go well, then I'm sorry, there won't be a next time."
Blancett waved the script in his hand. "Mr. Zhao, this script mentions expanding the film into a trilogy. Such a grand cinematic scale is hard to appreciate in just one take, isn't it?"
"You're right. In fact, I've already had the prequel to this film prepared." "The case is the same, but this time it's a four-part series. I don't want any flawed works in my productions. There's only one bad movie or countless bad movies; I strive for perfection in every film. Money is just a number to me; in fact, the financial crisis had no impact on me at all."
"You don't need to worry about funding. The money will be deposited into your account after filming is complete. You can ask your good friends about this; they should be able to tell you. First, we need to discuss your views on the roles, and then I'll test your acting skills individually, performing without props. Do you have any objections to that?" Zhao An's smile was somewhat lewd.
Blanchett and Charlize, being experienced in such matters, felt a chill run down their spines. This might mean they were about to be sexually exploited. However, they weren't inherently resistant. If it were an old and unattractive director, they might consider it, since they weren't in a rush to get this film. More than anything, they longed to work with a renowned director and actor like Zhao An.
Amber, however, didn't have so many concerns. She was already thinking about how to please Zhao An later. Her best friend was Hathaway, already heavily pregnant and incredibly seductive. Both women were sluts, knowing that a woman's greatest advantages were her figure and looks, and naturally, they wanted to maximize them.
Every woman's situation is different, and their attitude towards unspoken rules is different. Some might not even accept it, and wouldn't accept it at all.
"I have no problem," Blanchett nodded.
"Me neither," Charlize shook her head, having nothing to say.
"Me too, no problem," Amber blinked excitedly, practically indicating she wanted to be fucked.
