Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 1070 Was it a scent of the same kind, or her own unique aroma?

"Xiao He, Mo Wensi!"

Just as Xiao He and Mo Wens were both under hard control by Talira's sudden appearance, another person appeared as if from the heavens.

Leah suddenly appeared and sat down between the two of them.

"Quickly, let me sit for a while."

Xiao He and Mo Wens subconsciously shifted their positions to make room for Liya in the middle.

After Leah sat down, she seemed to notice Talira standing behind her and said with some surprise, "Talira! So you came too! I thought you weren't coming today..."

Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but twitch her nose and then involuntarily sneezed a few times into the air.

"Achoo! What's that smell! Achoo! Sorry! Achoo!"

Generally speaking, foreigners quite like using perfume, and in many places the air is sometimes filled with a variety of different scents, which they have become accustomed to.

Talira probably only just learned from Wilnien that she smelled of decay, so after the event, she immediately applied some perfume—but she accidentally went a little overboard.

Xiao He subtly rubbed his nose, looked at Talila, and felt a little puzzled.

Since acquiring the system, his physical fitness has indeed improved significantly, and his sense of smell has become quite sensitive.

However, when they first met, he genuinely believed that the stench of decay he smelled was the scent of his own kind.

In hindsight, it really was Talira's own scent?

"Feel sorry."

Talira straightened up somewhat awkwardly, not expecting that her act of reapplying perfume would backfire.

She glanced at Liya sitting next to Xiao He, then at Xiao He, and finally said nothing more, simply turning away with a rather embarrassed expression.

"So what is she doing here?"

After everyone had gone far away, Morvens finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That really scared me to death. I really shouldn't talk about those things casually."

Speaking ill of others behind their backs will inevitably backfire.

Lia chuckled, "Even if she heard it, it wouldn't matter, would it?"

Xiao He recalled the last piece of gossip Morvens had mentioned, and then his overly excited reaction upon seeing Talila, and immediately guessed: "That last piece of gossip you mentioned before, the baby—"

"Pee!"

Movens raised a finger, cautiously looked around, then shook his head and said, "This isn't anything big, and the baby needle isn't what you think. Let's not talk about it. Or, let's talk about that thing from earlier, the one about him running a casino and guessing DNA..."

Xiao He's lips twitched.

Actually, he didn't really want to hear about that group of people's genetic chaos, and their mind-blowing game of guessing what genes the pregnant mother's child would have.

Please, have mercy on him!

This is a pervert; it makes you shake your head just looking at it.

"I think you should get along very well with someone else I know."

Xiao He said very sincerely.

"She also loves gossip."

I never expected that Movens, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would know so much.

If Yuan Sitong were here, she would probably have a lot in common with Mo Wensi.

Lydia, sitting in the middle, burst into laughter without any restraint: "Hahaha, Morvens, really, I have no idea where he got all that information."

Only Movens' eyes lit up, and he casually shifted the topic to another one that Xiao He had mentioned: "Another person you know? Is he your Chinese friend?"

Xiao He nodded: "Yes."

"I see. Then I really hope to have the opportunity to visit China."

"Movens said with emotion."

Xiao He:...

Hearing Movens's tactful expression of expectation, Xiao He suddenly understood why Movens had been so kind to him this time.

It wasn't so obvious before, but this time when I saw him, he invited me to a party and chatted with me about so much gossip, acting like a good brother trying to pull me into his camp.

—So you were craving the Chinese market!

Xiao He suddenly understood.

It was also somewhat funny.

This can be considered a two-way trip for both Movens and Zhuang Hongyi, right?

One side wants to further expand into the Chinese market, while the other wants to leverage Hollywood's fame to further boost overseas box office revenue.

You two are really thinking the same thing.

"Don't worry, if you're interested, Morvens, I can introduce you to someone right away."

Xiao He immediately said, very savvyly.

"You've met the director from our 'Long' crew before. He's also the director of the 'Phantom Thieves' film series. After meeting you last time, he also expressed his interest in working with you. Tonight, Director Zhuang even asked me to ask you about it."

Movens was overjoyed: "So the person we met that day was him? That's great! Xiao! You really are a good guy!"

It's great to be able to talk to smart people; you can connect with them without expending too much effort! His move to win back Xiao He in Cannes this time was definitely the right one!

If it weren't for Liya standing in between, he would have wanted to give Xiao He a bear hug.

Liya, who had been listening to Xiao He and Mo Wensi's conversation, asked curiously, "So the director of 'Long' and the director of 'The Phantom Thieves' are the same person? Is he also the director of 'No Bait'?"

Xiao He explained: "The directors of 'Long' and 'The Phantom Thieves' are indeed the same, but he was a student of the director of 'No Bait,' and the current director of 'No Bait' has retired."

"So he's already retired?" Lia said. "I quite like his work, and he seemed quite young when I saw him at Cannes last time."

"Um."

Xiao He didn't explain anything further.

However, this reminded Leah of another topic: "This reminds me of director Tannis. I heard he has plans for a new script next year. I wonder what it will be about."

"Is director Tannis assembling a new film crew next year?"

Movens was also somewhat surprised, as it was the first time he had heard of this.

Director Tannis is the director of the "Ford v Ferrari" series. He is quite old now, so when "Ford v Ferrari 7" officially ended the series, many people speculated that he was going to retire.

Unexpectedly, after so much time has passed, he is actually preparing a new work.

Xiao He did the math in his head and realized that it had indeed been a long time. After filming "Ford v Ferrari 7", director Tannis had not produced any new works.

When filming "Ford v Ferrari 7", Tannis's secretary, Jamies, mentioned to him that director Tannis intended to work with him again, but Xiao He thought it was just a polite remark and didn't think much of it at the time.

Hearing Liya's words now, he suddenly remembered those past events.

"Yes, I heard that this might really be the last one."

Lia nodded, then lowered her voice and said, "Director Tannis's health is indeed getting worse and worse, and because of his personality... he hasn't had a director he really likes all these years."

Director Tannis is quite different from Ning Jiaqi. He is the kind of director who is rather aloof. When he mentors assistant directors, he treats them more as subordinates and has never thought about training students to take over his responsibilities.

So if he retires, it will probably be very difficult to see works in Tannis's directorial style again.

If this is a swan song, it will become the focus of global attention.

Xiao He raised an eyebrow.

If that's really the case... then it's definitely worth paying attention to.

But it sounds like it'll take quite a while, so there's no rush.
