[Chapter 268]
However, Marie ignored him.
Marie went around and talked to two younger and better-looking investors, but failed. They said their company had no plans to invest in such a big-budget film.
After all, the proposed investment for the movie was 300 million to 500 million dollars. It was real money, and not everyone could afford it.
Some companies might look like they had a market value of billions of dollars, but not many o f them could take out a few billion dollars without disrupting their business operations.
"How are things, Marie?" A beautiful middle-aged woman walked over and asked.
It was Marie's manager-Hannah Clement.
She was also the person who watched Marie graduate from school and get to where she was today.
Marie shook her head and said, "Not much progress, Hannah. What about you?"
"Me too! Oh! There are very few companies that can afford to finance these kinds of big budget movies, and we've talked to as many as we can," Hannah said with a sigh.
"Hannah! Do you think I only have one option left? It's how the industry works right now. They don't care about your efforts and acting skills. As long as you are willing to sacrifice your body, anyone can be the female lead!" Marie said with red eyes.
"Oh! Marie, don't overthink it. We can just quit if there's no other way. Who does he think he i s to blacklist anyone he wants? I'll expose him if he blacklists you. We'll just go all out and fight him at worst!" Hannah said as she touched Marie's head.
Then, a voice reached their ears.
"Ms. Kent! I heard you need money for your movie."
They followed the sound and saw a handsome face looking at them with a smile.
David wanted to leave after getting something to eat and donating some money, but ever since his mind power breakthrough, both his eyes and ears became very sharp.
Marie and Hannah were not far from him when they talked, so he heard their conversation. They seemed to be looking for investors.
Was that not giving away free lavish points?
There might not be much, but every bît helps!
The investment in the movie was also a way for him to meet some directors and what not through Marie.
They could approach him whenever they needed investment, and he would get many lavish points.
Therefore, he came over.
"Are you Mr. Lidell?" Marie asked in surprise.
David looked more handsome and classy than when they last met in Lake City, so Marie was slightly unsure.
"It's a good thing you didn't forget me, Ms. Kent!" David smiled and said.
"No way! You're my savior, Mr. Lidell. How could I forget you? You just got more handsome, so I wasn't sure," Marie said as she blushed.
Hannah was also surprised to see David. His figure, looks, and temperament were perfect.
He had a smile on his face when he spoke, and it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring wind.
She had been in the entertainment industry for years and had met many brilliant young people, but none of them could compare to David.
If he joined the entertainment industry, he could charm many women of all ages.
