Xie Xiaoke thought about it, he asked Li Qiwei to find a Hollywood actor, but he didn't care anymore: "Oh, Boss Li is too polite, I went back to China during this time, and I didn't have time to get these things, come on, let's sit inside!"

Several people went to the lounge area inside the casino and sat down.

The casino here was originally a small casino, the rest area was not big, it was a place for employees to eat at noon, they were eating in shifts, and now there are still a few people who have not eaten, and when they saw the boss coming, they picked up the bowl and prepared to leave: "Boss!"

"It's okay, you eat yours!" Xie Xiaoke said, and then beckoned to Li Qiwei and them: "Boss Li has eaten, or let's go outside and chat while eating, I'll have a treat!"

"Boss Xie, this is too polite!"

"Nothing, let's go, go to the best hotel here!"

Xie Xiaoke, Zheng Ying, Li Yanting, Ridgway, Smith, and a beautiful woman with Ridgway, a total of six people, two cars, drove to a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills, called Anabag's restaurant.

Anabag is dedicated to providing a stylish and welcoming environment for discerning Beverly Hills diners. As soon as you enter our doors, this family-owned restaurant will bring you the warmest and most comfortable service experience.

The restaurant not only offers a menu that is friendly and compatible with the principles of halal and kosher eating, but also focuses on satisfying guests' needs for high-quality and nutritious diets. The chef is an expert in the field of culinary gastronomy for more than 17 years, and he is particularly adept at combining condiments and ingredients to create exquisite dishes with excellent aromas, and the excellent service and exquisite cuisine here have made many guests frequent here.

After arriving at Anabagh's restaurant, several people ordered some dishes and started eating.

Canadian lobster, French oysters, Argentine red shrimp, Australian beef tenderloin, signature purebred Wagyu beef, Atlantic salmon fillet, Icelandic halibut, etc., are all high-quality dishes, plus a few bottles of 83-year-old Lafite, a meal is close to 200,000 yuan, Li Yanting and Zheng Ying are quite stunned.

The girl sitting next to Li Qiwei was a white person, very beautiful, with yellow hair, a face a little close to Asian, and a very petite figure, not at all like the super fuel-guzzling body in European and American countries, Xie Xiaoke met her for the first time, and asked very gentlemanly: "What do you call this beauty?"

The girl replied politely: "My name is Caroline, hello boss Xie, I have always admired you, I toast you the first time we meet!"

Xie Xiaoke said with a smile: "Yes, politely polite!"

The two picked up each other's wine glasses and took a sip, and then they got down to business.

Li Qiwei said: "Boss Xie, this is the best-looking second-tier star I selected from Hollywood, Caroline admires the oriental culture very much, especially China, her dream is to live in China, and she has worked hard in Hollywood for so many years and has not seen any improvement, she is 28 years old this year, I don't know if you are still satisfied with Boss Xie?"

Xie Xiaoke was shocked: "Miss Caroline used to be in Hollywood, amazing, I like it very much, if I can join our peak era, I am absolutely welcome, I don't know what Miss Caroline thinks herself?"

Kalulin said with a smile: "I am very happy to join Boss Xie's company, but I don't know what Boss Xie's requirements are in the process of selecting talents!"

Xie Xiaoke thought about it, he couldn't just look at the other party as a foreigner, he just wanted it, but also looked at his acting skills and strength, and the purpose of the peak era entertainment company could not be violated, so he asked: "How are your acting skills, and what roles have you played in Hollywood studios!"

Caroline said: "I signed with Columbia Pictures before, and I have starred in many films, but they are all inconspicuous small roles, and the best one is playing the female number 3 in "Hellboy Aftermath 2" in 2023, but I have played many heroines in small movies in the United States, and my acting skills are okay!"

"That's fine, that's the case, I need to explain to you, although most of our Chinese movies in recent years have no acting skills, but my company still has very high requirements for acting skills, you must not think that if you go to China, you can easily eat with your own foreigner face without hard work!"

"I know this, I have studied Boss Xie's company for a long time, the quality of the movies you make is very high, and the acting skills of all the actors are very good, I like to work with such a team, I feel very fulfilling!" Caroline was very accepting of Xie Xiaoke's request and did not reject it at all.

Xie Xiaoke nodded very satisfied, and calculated in his heart, the United States is a second-tier star, and the signing fee is about 5 million US dollars, so when you come to China, you can't convert it according to this value, it must be slightly higher than her now, just 3 million US dollars.

can make the salary of domestic first-line stars only 40 million to 60 million yuan, and the second-tier Hollywood stars are 35 million yuan, not to mention the salary, there is really no comparison, there is no harm.

But for the sake of his future career, Xie Xiaoke can only come up with a higher signing fee and salary for his company's contracted artists, anyway, he doesn't spend a penny, as long as Caroline is signed, just like when he signed Wu Qian, there will be many artists coming to take refuge in the future, and it will be out of control.

"Then I'll sign you for $3 million a year, five years, what does Miss Caroline think?"

"Yes, don't think about it, this is already higher than my signing fee in Colombia, my signing period in Colombia has just passed, and it has been automatically renewed by default, so Boss Xie, we can sign the contract right away!"

Xie Xiaoke said: "No problem!"

"Alas, don't be so anxious, Boss Xie, Miss Caroline, I still have some lists here, and they are also the lists of third- and fourth-tier stars from other Hollywood companies, do you want to take a look?" Li Qiwei said, what he meant was to let Xie Xiaoke decide and sign a contract together when the time came, anyway, he would definitely not be short of money.

Xie Xiaoke looked at a list handed over by Li Qiwei, many of them are Hollywood companies signed artists, he thinks it's better not to start with other companies for the time being, it's best to focus on the collapse of Columbia, Disney and Universal Pictures first, and the first to bear the brunt is Colombia, because when Xie Xiaoke went to negotiate with them, Colombia refused, and it was because of his refusal that it affected the other two companies to follow suit.

Maybe Disney and Universal Pictures didn't think the peak era was bad at first, because they heard the people in Colombia say with great fanfare that the peak era is not good here, there is poison there, etc., and the places they didn't expect now feel toxic, so they chose to give up the cooperation, which is the culprit.

Besides, Xie Xiaoke now has to deal with Blanton's father and son, that is, to deal with Columbia Pictures.
