The Avengers scenes have been filmed, and tonight is the wrap date. Zhao An hosted a celebratory dinner at the hot spring hotel, inviting the crew to a feast. Also arriving were the crew from the neighboring DC studio, who were also filming.

Zhao An's management of the two companies mandated that they only accept roles with the same company and avoid cross-pollination. As for less important roles, that didn't matter; crossovers were fine. After all, there's no comparison between a lead actor earning millions and a supporting actor earning tens of thousands. All he had to do was manage the lead.

Scarlett, Hayley, and Cobie sat together for dinner. Their faces were unusually rosy, but they had trouble walking. They'd definitely say it was filming-related injuries, a sprain they'd accidentally sprained and would be fine after a rest. In reality, they'd been fucked too hard, their cunts pounded for too long—three hours straight—and swollen, so walking was a bit difficult, just a few times.

There weren't any work-related injuries, just a slight limp from being fucked so hard.

Zhao An actually enjoyed this scene. Making a woman unable to get out of bed directly demonstrated just how strong he was. And he showed no mercy to these foreign babes. He fucked them as hard as he could, since they couldn't be damaged anyway. A field can only be plowed to death by an overworked ox, so just enjoy it to the fullest.

"Oh, Scarlett, you're here too! Great! Nice to see you! Can I sit here?" A beautiful goddess called out: none other than Anne Hathaway, the glamorously dressed Catwoman!

"Of course, please sit." Scarlett frowned uncomfortably, sensing a sense of pressure, a sense of competition. The woman before her looked innocent, but her sluttishness was evident.

Those who understood knew that Scarlett's Oscar wasn't earned through sleeping; she earned it through her own merit. She was a veteran Oscar winner, but all actresses have a drawback: their income isn't high. There's a strange thing about the film industry: movies that achieve acclaim don't necessarily have high box office sales. Movies with special effects don't win Best Actor awards, so earning an Oscar is just the first step. To achieve continued success, one needs to make commercial films.

Commercial films are meant to make money, and that's why they offer high pay. Often, a single film costs millions or even tens of millions, and this requires a Best Actress award. Only after achieving fame can one pursue profit. That's the truth.

Zhao An was having dinner with several directors. "I've given you the script. Within the overall framework, if you have any good ideas, feel free to pitch them. Films need everyone's participation to enrich them."

"Boss, I don't think my films are like Marvel's. Since we're in a dark genre, we need to make films that provoke thought. That's my principle. If it weren't for Kevin's strong recommendation, I wouldn't be here." Nolan made his point clear. He's a huge name, and his previous films have all been critically acclaimed.

But there's one thing: Nolan's films are few and exquisite. They're primarily suspenseful and thought-provoking. Taking on the Batman series this time does present some challenges, but it's also a challenge.

Nolan was actually a little unhappy with Zhao An, a white man, playing a white superhero, but money was paramount. He'd seen the films Zhao An had written, directed, and acted in, and they were indeed excellent. He'd seen too many people who wrote, directed, and acted in their own films, only to capitalize on the hype, and the results were often subpar.

It's true that there aren't any good films, but they're just too few.

"Of course, that's why I invited you all here. Times are changing, technology is changing, and humanity should change too. Before we start filming, I'd like to ask everyone here a question: What do you think movies are?" Zhao An smiled, lit a cigarette, and began to question them.

At this point, some actors gathered around, originally to toast. Zhao An's influence was considerable even in the United States, and he had now expanded into the European film market. "Detective Chinatown," which he wrote, directed, and acted in, had also hit theaters in Europe and the United States, receiving consistently high praise, proving his prowess.

Whether as an actor or a director, he leaves people feeling incredible, shocked and filled with immense admiration.

This question is common, a common one for almost everyone. But when asked by someone of Zhao An's stature, it's different; it must have deeper meaning.

Even Scarlett and the others approached, remaining silent after hearing Zhao An's words. Some were thinking, some were watching, and still others were indifferent. Everyone's thoughts were within Zhao An's reach, leaving virtually no secrets.

"Film is about conveying something to the audience—a spiritual culture, a unique cultural transmission." Wade, the director of Avengers: Endgame, was the first to respond.

"Very good. How about you guys?" Zhao An simply nodded. This was a standard response, neither good nor bad.

"I believe film is about presenting what the director wants to express to the audience and making them emotionally moved. Whether it's a documentary or a commercial, a good film is one that provokes deep thought." As a veteran director, Nolan is well-qualified to say this.

"I think the purpose of making movies is to make money!" a female voice echoed. It was none other than Amy Adams, the heroine from the Superman movies! A tall, voluptuous woman with a unique charm. Her beauty wasn't top-notch, but she possessed a captivating aura. She wasn't worldly or arrogant; she was simply a simple woman.

A woman like this is like aged wine; you need to savor it slowly to truly appreciate its essence.

I hadn't expected Amy to say that; it was quite interesting. Amy is her first name, and Adams is her last name.

Clap, clapping, Zhao An applauded with a smile. "Well said! This is indeed a necessary foundation. Please take a seat. Miss Amy is very insightful. Don't be cheesy. Imagine if your movie didn't even make the box office. Would it be considered a success? If no one even saw it, could it still be called a movie? First and foremost, you have to ensure that people see your film. Only then can your ideas be realized."
