Huayu98: Starting with mentoring pop divas

The next day, I saw off my grandparents, Zhu Zhu, and the Huaguo Folk Orchestra, watching them board the flight back to Beijing.

Li Shuo spent another two days meticulously finalizing the script details for the "Ju-on" audiobook movie with Wong Jing.

Wong Jing has roughly selected the cast!

The deranged, serial killer husband was cast with Cheung Tat-ming, a comedian with a quirky acting style, who played the emperor in "Forbidden City Cop".

The key character, the little boy "Xiao Xiong," is played by the quirky "Kuang Fusheng" from ATV's "My Date with a Vampire."

As for the ill-fated teacher, Mr. Lin, who later visited another haunted house, 205, Wong Jing surprisingly chose Leung Yung-chung, who had competed with Stephen Chow in terms of misery in "Flirting Scholar".

Actually, compared to the script, this guy's performance was pretty much a natural fit.

Therefore, even his girlfriend in real life, who is currently being gossiped about by paparazzi and is a graduate of TVB's training program, Chung Lai-kei, will play the pregnant wife.

The characters of Ye Jiazi (Kayako) and the family who later moved into the Ju-on haunted house in the second part of the videotape movie have also been basically revealed.

The cast exudes the unique eclectic charm of Hong Kong cult films, and its main selling point is that it's cheap and easy to use!

Li Shuo knew that, given Wang Jing's speed, the film would probably be in post-production by the time he returned. What a relief!

After receiving his visa today, Li Shuo immediately informed his father and boarded a flight from Hong Kong Island to the United States.

The first-class seats were as spacious as beds, and outside the windows stretched an endless sea of ​​clouds. The plane was cruising in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 10,000 meters. He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the depths of his consciousness.

Following that night's performance, a special program featuring pre-recorded clips was broadcast on ATV.

Although it doesn't have Phoenix TV's coverage and is a pay-TV channel that requires special purchase outside of Hong Kong Island, its status has finally been upgraded to "somewhat well-known".

However, Li Shuo frowned as he looked at the system interface.

【The Crowned King System of Good Karma Entertainment】

[Host: Li Shuo]

(This system aims to help the host achieve the ultimate status by cultivating positive relationships with female celebrities!)

[Position: Somewhat well-known (accurate)]

(Please finish processing the rewards from the previous rank, otherwise the rank cannot be upgraded.)

[Currently, the number of female celebrities who can be linked with good karma is 2/3 (+6)]

(Only after the rank upgrade can the new female star's affinity slot be merged.)

"As expected..." Li Shuo felt a little regretful, and his wishful thinking of taking advantage of the bug in the upgrade slot was extinguished.

"But now there are six more spots to tie down female stars! 3...6...so next time it'll be nine?"

Alright, let's use up the two "ten-pull" chances we accumulated during the "Nameless" phase. Luckily, we still have a "lucky buff" left.

With a thought, a few breaths later... the reward of two 10-pulls appeared.

[Wishing Glass Bottles *5 (from the book "Glass Bottle")]

[Beautiful Boy Aura: Enhances the host's visual perception regardless of nationality, increasing female favorability by 30% and male favorability by 35%! (Lucky) (From "Beautiful Boy's Love")]

[Proficient in driving vehicles (from The Transporter)]

[Random Home Usage Permit in the US * 2 Years (from the movie "Rayton")]

[Disagreement Terminal *3 (from "If You Are the One")]

[The divergence terminal yielded a profit of £200 million (lucky) (from "If You Are the One 1")]

[8 freshly made scallion pancakes (from "Chef Nic's Taste of Life")]

Ignoring some useless extracts...

Driving proficient? It reminds me of the protagonist in the original "The Transporter"—his driving skills were pretty impressive. Too bad I don't have a driver's license right now!

Another property type card? Another property usage right card! I'll take a look when it arrives.

Although this "Divergence Terminal" is a complete joke and utterly useless, the £200 million is a steal!

In addition to the more than 2000 million US dollars already settled in a Swiss bank bearer account after Li Shuo's last big win of 320 million francs in bonds, the available funds have now increased.

I was thinking that I would have to ask my father, Li Mingyao, for help when the time came, but now it seems that I can handle things on my own! And maybe there will be more surprises later?

Another interesting discovery in this giveaway... you can actually win prizes by participating in a variety show with a celebrity known for her good relationships?!

However, the effect of this handsome young man's aura...

After thinking about it carefully, I remembered those bizarre events in the beautiful country before my rebirth, and a large part of them seemed to be very unfriendly to a handsome young man like him!

And men are 5% more likely to be affected than women?

I feel a slight tightness in my anus...

I drifted off to sleep after a while, even though it was first class, it was still a bit tiring!

Finally, in a daze, the roar of the plane pulled Li Shuo back to reality.

With a slight turbulence, the aircraft landed smoothly at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts.

He followed the flow of people out of the cabin, and the crisp, clean air rushed towards him.

Director Wang Ying said that someone she arranged would pick them up at the airport, so they should have arrived by now, right?

Li Shuo followed the flow of people, dragging his luggage, through the already somewhat worn corridors and bustling halls of Boston Logan International Airport.

After a lot of trouble, we finally arrived at the arrivals area.

He stopped and searched among the crowd holding various signs.

I thought it would be hard to find... but soon I saw a woman with brightly colored hair leaning lazily against a pillar not far away.

She wore sunglasses that almost covered half of her face and a black mask. Her classic punk outfit, consisting of a studded leather jacket, ripped jeans, and heavy Doc Martens, stood out among the neatly dressed business travelers and warm families waiting to pick her up.

The sign she was holding up to greet people at the airport was even more "ingenious"!

A crumpled piece of cardboard had three Chinese characters scrawled on it in a crooked and haphazard manner, probably with a marker: "Li Huole"!

The "fire" radical was drawn particularly thick.

Li Shuo paused, a thousand questions flashing through his mind.

When Director Wang Ying mentioned "an actor you want to work with," "about your age," and "I'll help you connect," was he referring to the person in front of him?

This is quite different from the capable colleague or at least the normally dressed assistant I had imagined, and I never expected it to be a woman.

But then, a system notification appeared in my consciousness!

[A female celebrity who could potentially become a confidante has been identified; should a partnership be formed?]

! ? ?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Shuo dragged his suitcase over and stopped in front of the punk woman with the "palette" silhouette. He tentatively spoke in English, "Hello, I'm Li Shuo. Did Director Wang Ying send you?"

Upon hearing the voice, the girl tilted her head slightly behind her sunglasses, momentarily startled, then seemed to come to her senses, but still looked him up and down through her dark lenses.

Then, she reached out and pulled her mask down with two fingers, revealing lips painted with dark purple lipstick, her voice carrying a deliberate nonchalance.

"Li? Okay, that's right. The car's outside, come with me. I heard you're offering a generous salary for your assistant this time filming an independent film, so I'm offering myself as your assistant for this shoot! Oh, and... cash payment would be best!"

His tone was crisp and decisive, without any hint of pleasantries or explanations. After speaking, he pulled his mask back into place, turned around, and hurriedly led the way.

Li Shuo watched her retreating figure, then glanced at the abstractly artistic welcome sign she had carelessly tossed aside, and could only silently pull his suitcase and follow.

This trip to the United States was quite fun right from the start!

I really want to get a trench coat, a beanie, round sunglasses... and then get a potted plant like the one in "Léon: The Professional" and take a picture with her!

This beautiful girl from the US is here to greet you at the airport!

I never expected it to be... Natalie Portman!?
