San Remo, Sofia’s beachfront mansion.
"Most of those Hollywood producers are truly brainless. Such cliché plots and melodramatic three-act structures, how do they think audiences would enjoy that stuff? Should I take this mug, honey?"
Sofia was helping Lu Yang pack while constantly complaining about her recent experiences, resembling quite the dutiful wife.
Lu Yang kept nodding, occasionally chiming in.
To all the men out there, when your girlfriend is ranting to you, what she absolutely doesn’t want is for you to deeply analyze the matter; instead, she’d prefer sounds like "Hmm! Ah! Oh! Uh!"
This is a crucial reason why Lu Yang and Sofia’s relationship is so harmonious.
"Am I being unreasonable?" Sofia suddenly raised her head to look at Lu Yang.
Without a moment of hesitation, Lu Yang replied, "Of course not! I’m always happy to hear you share your life and work with me. Always."
A blissful smile spread across Sofia’s face, "You’re always so thoughtful, Lu!"
From start to finish, Lu Yang hadn’t moved his feet at all; Sofia not only packed everything for him but also thought Lu Yang was very considerate... this is a good man in a woman’s eyes.
Actually, Lu Yang was just recalling some scenes from Zenit St. Petersburg matches he’d watched, occasionally nodding to appease Sofia.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Lu Yang doesn’t value Sofia, it’s just that... the problems Sofia encounters are not challenging for Lu Yang.
Once the luggage was packed, Sofia personally drove Lu Yang to the airport.
Originally, Lu Yang was supposed to go to the club first to meet his teammates, then take the team bus to the airport.
But to have more time with Sofia, Lu Yang requested to go directly to the airport from Sotu, and Sotu approved it.
Others like Morici, who have stable partners, enjoyed the same privilege.
Unlike Naji, the party king, who must head to the club early.
For single folks like Bai Zhami and Fernandez, it was even more so.
This was a very considerate side.
Along the way, Lu Yang continued to listen to Sofia’s complaints while driving.
After turning eighteen, he could drive; his driving skills were decent, often making Sofia scream and exclaim she couldn’t take it, occasionally making her retch, or feel uneasy.
"I think, since ’The Invisible Guest’ was a success, you might as well gradually transition from that, rather than... going for a one-step change." Lu Yang basically understood Sofia’s thoughts.
’The Invisible Guest’ is essentially a low-budget suspense film, with a hint of crime investigation elements, although there’s hardly any involvement with police.
This is a niche category.
The real major categories would be romance, action, and sci-fi films.
Sofia is currently in talks with Hollywood, receiving plenty of offers from over there; she herself hopes to conquer the global market through Hollywood.
She already has a high position, and now she has ample start-up funds and massive traffic, so she doesn’t need to worry about being hindered by the environment there, nor about any unwritten rules.
The dirtiness of Hollywood is more about the weaker party willingly climbing into bed with the stronger party for fame and opportunities.
Actual bullying scenarios aren’t nonexistent, but rare, and certainly wouldn’t happen to a star of Sofia’s caliber.
Back to movies.
The scripts handed over from Hollywood weren’t to Sofia’s satisfaction; the stories were too cheesy, unlike what she wanted.
On the other hand, the art films were too arty.
Sofia now hopes to capture both commercial and artistic success, achieving multiple dimensions of success.
After all, ’The Invisible Guest’ is such a multi-success film.
Multiple concerns intertwined, this is what has been consuming Sofia’s energy lately.
But the results were not optimistic.
To ease Sofia’s mental stress, Lu Yang said, "Actually, I have a new idea that I think fits you well."
"In terms of genre, it’s a romance, a film revealing exaggerated emotional life, but in essence, it’s also a brain-teasing film linked to suspense and crime investigation."
"This way, it not only retains your previous work’s fan base but also steps closer to the major genres you’re aiming for."
"And most importantly, it’s also a leading lady film; I believe you can interpret it perfectly!"
Sofia was taken aback, turning her head to look at Lu Yang driving.
Sunlight glistened on Lu Yang’s face, he looked so handsome at that moment!
It’s this feeling; Sofia felt her heart almost jumping out.
Only with Lu Yang does she have this kind of heart-throbbing and sweet feeling!
Not only is he playing soccer, but he’s also concerned and considering her matters!
Sofia was utterly certain.
Smooch!
Sofia’s fiery red lips left a mark on Lu Yang’s cheek.
Lu Yang was driving, unable to make avoidance movements, he accepted it calmly.
"I love you to death!" Sofia whispered in Lu Yang’s ear, her hand slowly moved towards Lu Yang’s thigh.
Moments later, the car swayed slightly on the road.
Lu Yang hit the brakes, pulling over.
"This is too dangerous, Sofia!" Lu Yang’s face was completely red!
Sofia had an inexplicable sense of loss.
She admitted, she kind of lost control a moment ago.
In fact, as long as she’s with Lu Yang, she’s always liable to lose control.
