Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements

No sooner had he finished speaking than another commotion came from the entrance of the exhibition hall.

"You go about your business, I'm your spokesperson, I can explain these watches to her."

Richard, seeing this, didn't bother with formalities with Li Xiang, nodded in agreement, and turned to greet the other guests.

Li Xiang then led Isabella to the display case before turning to her and asking, "So, did you find anything you like?"

Once they were alone, the little girl whispered, "It's a little different from what I usually wear."

"Most of your watches are jewelry watches, which are mainly for decoration, while these are sports watches, which are a completely different category."

"Of course, there are also quite a few decent-looking styles inside. Pick whatever you like, and we'll take it home."

Upon hearing this, the young girl stopped being polite and bent down to carefully examine each watch.

While the little girl was choosing, Li Xiang finally had a chance to look around.

This gesture also seemed to send a signal to everyone present.

Soon, someone carrying a wine glass slowly walked over.

As a social butterfly, Li Xiang naturally wouldn't miss any opportunity to build connections.

At the same time, they also helped pave the way for young Isa, who had not yet officially entered the social circle, and built some connections for her.

His welcoming attitude attracted a constant stream of people who greeted and congratulated him.

Just then, another commotion broke out at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Looking up, she saw one of the people she had promised Isha she would meet that evening.

Which one did you like?

"This giant panda is green and very cute."

Li Xiang looked in the direction she was pointing and compared it to other watches, this bling-bling one was indeed quite nice.

He turned to the staff in the exhibition hall and said, "Pack it up and deliver it before the banquet ends."

The staff had already received instructions and, without the slightest hesitation, took the watch out of the display case to prepare for packaging.

"Anything else you like?"

The little girl gently shook her head: "Let them buy the rest themselves. This one was a gift from you, so it has to be unique."

Li Xiang almost burst out laughing upon hearing this: "Alright, then I'll take you to see Anne Hathaway."

Anne Hathaway had just finished greeting the guests around her and was walking towards Li Xiang.

"Li, it's been a long time. Your fame is growing bigger and bigger."

"Haha, you're just as radiant. Come, let me introduce you to a friend, this is Isa Ambani."

Anne Hathaway, as an ordinary female celebrity, was unaware of the significance behind the surname Ambani.

But seeing Isha dressed in a high-fashion outfit from the latest season, and with Li Xiang's earnest introduction, the female celebrity's intuition told her that the girl in front of her was no ordinary person.

So he immediately abandoned the attitude he had towards ordinary fans and greeted Isha politely and appropriately.

On the other hand, Isabella says she really likes the two characters in "The Devil Wears Prada".

But when Li Xiang actually met Anne Hathaway in person, he was not as excited or flustered as he had imagined.

She maintained the elegance and decorum expected of the top elite circles, treating them no differently than other celebrities.

This made Li Xiang feel very comfortable.

Before long, Meryl Streep arrived, and the four of them gathered in a corner and chatted.

Looking at Meryl in front of him, Li Xiang also remembered Teacher Huang's repeated instructions.

"Meryl, if I may ask, do you have any plans for early June next year?"

Upon hearing this, Meryl replied in a tone that was half-joking and half-serious: "Lee, you have to tell me what it is first before I can give you an accurate answer."

Li Xiang naturally understood this; every minute of a superstar's life is extremely precious, and it's impossible to make promises lightly.

"I've started a theater festival in China, which will open next June 1st. I'd like to invite you to attend and support it."

The topic of the theater festival successfully piqued Meryl's interest.

This person originally came from a stage background, and even now, he often performs at the Central Park Amphitheatre.

But she still didn't agree immediately, and instead patiently inquired about the specific performance format.

She only became interested after learning that Li Xiang's drama festival not only featured stage plays but also an immersive water town parade.

Add to that Li Xiang's description of China's water towns, and in short, he completely swayed the narrative...

"Okay, I'll go."

Upon hearing the agreement, Li Xiang then withdrew his supernatural powers.

Why didn't you just agree sooner? You made him waste so much breath.

But he also knew that for such big stars, unless it was out of interest, no one would be willing to travel so far.

Before he could even thank her, Meryl suddenly looked at him and said, "Lee, you could also try inviting Nicole Kidman."

"If you were to ask, I think she would say yes..."

Li Xiang, wondering why this person was being brought up, looked at Meryl with a puzzled expression.

"Haha. Aren't you all going to participate in Cannes next year?"

"Hmm? You mean..."

"Darling, she is the third judge selected for Cannes, just like you."

Upon hearing this, Anne Hathaway, who was standing next to him, widened her eyes instantly and couldn't help but interject.

"Li, you... are you a judge for next year's Cannes Film Festival?" Although it was a question, the answer was already self-evident.

It's important to know that the judges' seats in the main competition at Cannes are not to be underestimated.

Just like exam graders, the minimum requirement is that you have unanimous recognition in the industry and confirm that you have certain qualifications.

This is the recognition that Anne Hathaway, a child star, has wanted most after all these years.

Hearing that Li Xiang had obtained it so easily, it's no wonder she lost her composure.

However, Li Xiang couldn't care less about her at the moment, as he was thinking about the deeper meaning in Meryl's words.

First of all, Nicole Kidman, whom she mentioned, is not the main point.

If it can be brought up to someone's face, then there must be nothing to hide.

So, besides Nicole Kidman, another key point is her role as a judge.

If he guessed correctly, the deeper meaning behind Meryl's words was that he owed her a favor.

And one day in the future, they may need to use their position as judges and the power of the awards to repay that debt.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang suddenly had a sudden realization.

Indeed, none of those who have achieved such accolades in Hollywood have played simple roles.

Especially someone like Meryl...

Harvey Weinstein's MeToo movement swept through Hollywood, dragging countless people down with him.

She alone, the international film queen whom Harvey had single-handedly promoted, has remained steadfast despite countless criticisms.

Among all the actresses in Hollywood, Harvey's support for her was almost unparalleled.

The core works that were nominated for Oscars several times were all written by Weinstein, who even publicly referred to Harvey as God.

Even though she was tied to this situation, this Oscar-winning actress was still able to escape unscathed, which shows her shrewdness and cunning.

She saw his future potential as limitless and wanted to use a favor to secure future benefits.

The beauty lies in the fact that nothing is explicitly stated throughout, a tacit understanding that exists only between the two of them.

Having seen through this, Li Xiang smiled and nodded gently to the actress.

Meryl responded with her signature, enigmatic smile.
