"You guys talk first, I'll prepare coffee and desserts for you." When he arrived at the living room with a fireplace in Swarzenegger's house, which was luxurious and elegant, Maria pulled Jacqueline's novel and was about to leave.

"Thank you, you don't have to be so polite," Ouyang Zhenhua said politely.

"It's okay, you guys chat and see you later."

If it is an ordinary guest, then Maria will let the servant be responsible and she doesn't need to do it herself. But Chen Kangjie is different. One is the guest, the second is the author she likes very much, and the third is the director of her husband's new movie. The overlap of the three identities allows Maria to make a rare exception and serve herself.

"Sit down casually, don't be polite, by the way, how is the merger of Miramax Company?" Swarzenegger asked Chen Kangjie and the others to sit down on the large sofa and asked with concern.

"It has been completed and all new senior executives have been in office, which has cost us nearly $900 million," Ouyang Zhenhua replied briefly.

"Oh, 900 million US dollars, this price is quite suitable, and you don't suffer any loss at all," Swarzenegger agreed.

Swarzenegger is different from many actors. He is not only an actor, but sometimes he also serves as a director. He is also a businessman. He has had his own real estate company many years ago and later opened a restaurant. Swarzenegger received a master's degree in business and economics from the University of Wisconsin. Otherwise, he would not have been successful in running for the governor of California in a few years.

"Haha, it's okay. We came this time just for the movie "The True Lies". After the new company acquired it, the first major event was this movie. The crew has started preparing for it. Now we want to communicate with you about some specific situations. We hope to start the film as soon as possible so that it can be launched on the screen as soon as possible," said Ouyang Zhenhua on behalf of Chen Kangjie.

"Oh, you are so efficient, but are you too anxious?" Swarzenegger didn't expect that Chen Kangjie and the others would have completely solved Miramax's company in just a few days. Thanks to Chen Kangjie's plan to cut off the fire, otherwise it would have to be delayed for at least half a month to a month.

"I have to say that my current role is not suitable for director. I am still a middle school student. It is impossible for me to stay away from school for a long time. Holidays are the time when I have the most time. Even if I am usually there, I can only take a short leave, so time is very tight and I have to race against time," Chen Kangjie said self-deprecatingly.

"You still need to go to middle school. If you are in the United States, you can at least study directly at Harvard University." Swarzenegger was a little puzzled by Chen Kangjie's current achievements and still honestly attending middle school.

"Haha, it's one thing to need it or not, and it's another thing to be better or not. The culture and thinking of our two countries are different. I can't cross it casually. Besides, everyone has some fixed life trajectory, which must be followed to a certain extent." Chen Kangjie shrugged, saying that some things he had to do even if he didn't want to do, let alone that was what he wanted to do.

"OK, I don't know much about your culture and traditions. Since you are so short of time, let's start. Have you chosen the heroine?" Swarzenegger seemed to understand Chen Kangjie more, and after a few sentences, he got to the point.

His straightforwardness and thinking about doing things as well as possible helped him add a lot of points in his political campaign. After all, he promised Chen Kangjie to star in this movie, so he had to have a responsible attitude. Regardless of whether Chen Kangjie is a novice or not, as the saying goes, and he will do what he does.

"I chose one, but I want to hear your opinions first." Swarzenegger is now an old bird in the Hollywood circle, so it's no harm to listen to his opinions.

"If you are not sure yet, then I want to recommend one of my friends, Jamie Lee Curtis, since you have chosen it, forget it."

"Hahaha, the heroes have similar views. I chose Jamie Lee Curtis, but I haven't met her yet. I don't know if he is willing to play the role of Helen," Chen Kangjie laughed.

"No, it's such a coincidence, it's so incredible. As long as you choose her, she will agree to the other jobs if I leave them to me." Swarzenegger immediately took on the job of recruiting people.

"That's so thank you, it's reduced a lot of trouble for me," Chen Kangjie thanked.

"I can't say I want to thank you. She also wants to try other types of movies. I've seen this script before, so she is particularly interested. I called her the day before yesterday and said that the script is very likely to be a movie. I told her some situation and that I will play Harry's role. She immediately asked me to help recommend her. Haha, it seems that I have won this favor for nothing."

"So that's the case. Do you live far away?"

"Not far away, why, you want to meet her. If that's the case, then I'll call her now," Swarzenegger guessed.

"That's better, haha," Chen Kangjie's idea was indeed guessed by Swarzenegger.

Swarzenegger picked up the antique-shaped phone on the small table beside him, dialed a number, and after answering, he only said: "Curtis, come to my house soon. What you told me the day before yesterday is done," and then hung up.

"Arnold, who are you calling?" At this time, Maria happened to come over with a few cups of freshly ground Nanshan coffee, and a plate of purple soft cakes.

"Curtis, long chose her as the heroine, so I asked her to come and meet her." Swarzenegger helped his wife take out the coffee on the plate and put it in front of Chen Kangjie and the others. By the way, he recommended the purple soft cake: "Long, Mr. Ouyang, try it, this is my wife's masterpiece."

"Oh, that's pretty good, long, try it, I made it myself, Mr. Ouyang, don't be polite," Maria also recommended her own work.

"I want to eat it even if you don't say it. I just want to take a bite." Chen Kangjie was not polite at all. After saying that, he just used coffee cakes to alternately, and Ouyang Zhenhua was the same.

"Oh, the coffee is fragrant, the cake is delicious, the color is beautiful, what is there?" Chen Kangjie praised when he put down the cup.

"There is honey, blueberry sauce, a little lemon juice, rose pollen, etc." Maria also served a cup of coffee and sat down next to Swazenegger.

"What about baby."

"I asked the nanny to take it upstairs to play so as not to affect your work talk. She also wanted to accompany her younger brother Christian."

"You have a child." Chen Kangjie asked.

"There is another son, Christian, almost three years old." Swarzenegger hugged his wife in a white dress and answered sweetly.

At this time, Curtis came. She greeted the host's family first before greeting Chen Kangjie and the others. Judging from his reaction to Chen Kangjie, Swarzenegger probably had informed him of everything he knew.

"K.J Oh, long, I like your novel very much. I heard that it was great that you chose me as the heroine of your first movie." Curtis, who is already 35, did not react abnormally because Chen Kangjie looked young.

Today Curtis is very casual, with short hair, ripped jeans, and casual white T-shirt printed with "ILOVEYOU". He neither wants the housewife wearing glasses in the movie nor the sexy young woman who dances erotic. It seems that the actor is an actor.

"Curtis, I'm very happy to meet you. You are a Hollywood star. Thank you very much for participating in this video." Chen Kangjie stood up and shook hands with Curtis.

"Haha, Arnold is the big star in Hollywood." Curtis brought Swarzenegger out to block Chen Kangjie's boast, which shows that she is self-aware, and on the other hand, her friendship with Swarzenegger is not bad.

"He is a superstar, let me introduce you to you. This is the boss of the boss of the Miramax company. Haha, Mr. Ouyang Zhenhua." Chen Kangjie humorously introduced Ouyang Zhenhua to Curtis.

If Chen Kangjie introduces his identity, he is the boss of the boss of the Miramax Company, which will be quite intriguing.

Ouyang Zhenhua's identity completely dispelled Curtis's remaining concerns. This was the first time they saw the director talking about the movie and bringing the big boss as a follower. With such a relationship, at least there would be no problem with the shooting funds.

After everyone sat down again, Chen Kangjie said seriously: "In addition to being the director and screenwriter of this drama, I am also the producer of this film. Curtis, the salary I give you is 10 million US dollars, only half of Arnold. I don't know if there is any problem."

When talking about money, Chen Kangjie has never been tempted and hiding it out of the way. Although Curtis is also a star, he still has a gap with Swarzenegger in terms of fame. Besides, Hollywood actresses are often slightly inferior to male stars, so Chen Kangjie only offered him half of Swarzenegger's price.

"I have no objection. The price is good. I can't compare with Arnold." Curtis was still very satisfied with her pay price. In the past, her movie was only about 8 million US dollars.

"Can we start work at any time? We have a tight time," Chen Kangjie asked. The most important thing in the whole film is the male and female protagonists. As long as they have plenty of time, other supporting roles are not that important, and you can find someone to replace them at any time.

"Yes, start construction at any time. My "Mother's Boys" has been filmed and is being edited and produced in the post-production. Now I have time," Curtis said.

"By the way, who knows Art Marik? I want to invite him to play the biggest villain role." Among the main actors, Chen Kangjie only knows his name and has not seen him, so he asks for advice from both of them.

"I don't know you, I haven't worked with you," Swarzenegger shook his head.

"Are you talking about Art Marik who looks very much like a Middle Eastern person?" Curtis asked.

"Yes, it's him, you know him." Since Curtis said he looked like a Middle Easterner, Chen Kangjie felt that he should be the one he was looking for.

"I know, although I can't say that my relationship is very good, I have contact information."

"That's great. Today, today, it seems that it's not possible. Let's do it. You come to Miramax's company the day after tomorrow and give you two days to prepare. Curtis can make an appointment with him. If there is no problem at that time, we can handle the contract. I will have to choose other supporting roles tomorrow after tomorrow. I will be more busy. What do you think?"
