What? When director Connor's into an old friend, he doesn't even have the courtesy to raise a Isabella, I heard that your new project has been restarted. Congratulations. I'm also about to sign on for a new project. I'll adjust my schedule and make sure our projects don't over-lap. Afraid we might overlap? The Hollywood market is huge. Director Connor is working on a billion dollar blockbuster. Is he really worried about

competing with us? Connor, your grave is already prepared. Director Royce, this watch incredible condition. Looks like you paid a fortune for it. Yes. Isabella gave it to me as a celebration gift. It means a lot. Isabella, are you really that cheap? Royce is director now and you gave him an old watch with no diamonds mr. Drake you are

wrong I am very familiar with this watch it's an outdated design and it's not exactly a valuable piece Royce you're making tube a deal out of a watch that only costs $100,000 $100,000 Connor your confidence despite knowing nothing never fails to amaze me. That's right! We had it appraised today. It's not worth more than

100,000. Sorry to interrupt. Director Roys, is this the final masterpiece of master watchmaker Frank, Deep Sea Stardome? You have a good eye. There have always been rumors in the industry that after a mysterious buyer commised buying this watch at a huge price, it disappeared from the public eye. The

The starry pattern on the dial was handcrafted with meteoroid fragments, and the craftsmanship is unique. Director Royce, if you're willing to sell, I'll give you three million. No, four million dollars. I'll transfer money right now. Four? Four million dollars?

This old watch is worth four million? Connor, didn't you say it was just worthless junk? Impossible. Ponshup owner, clear the shit.

You actually sold a four million dollar watch for just one hundred thousand Connor, you're not just blind, you're a complete idiot. Four million. That's four million dollars.

I sold it for only one hundred thousand. I'm such an idiot Connor you idiot you sold a four million dollar watch for a hundred thousand What the hell is wrong with you?

This level of Fame this kind of treatment should have been mine You actually rented out an entire street of digital billboards for promotion. Isabella, you're going all out for the launch of Starvault. This is Skyvault Pictures' first official announcement to make its mark in the

It has to make an impact. Everyone in the industry knows you gave everything you had for Connor. Seeing all this tonight, I can't help but envy everything he once had. I don't want to be just your partner.

I want to be something more. Royce, save your Hollywood romance for someone else. I only invest in valuable IP, not love. Go keep an eye on the progress.

You're a terrifyingly charming partner. Stop staring. It has nothing to do with you anymore. Where are you going so late?

Richard said that Hollywood Lights has not been officially launched yet. He has other projects in hand that are recruiting actors and wanted to talk to me about the details of cooperation. What's there to discuss alone this late at night?

What do I have to be picky? They're an opportunity, I'll take it. Meeting up this late at night, the two of them. You finally decided to show up?

The whole team stayed up all night cleaning up your mess. Where the hell were you? I just needed some air. If you keep chasing that scheming woman, Lexi, your reputation as a director will be ruined sooner or

Both investors who had already committed pulled out. Why don't you go for Isabella? I've already found a way to cover the funding gap. I negotiated a new project, and $50 million in funding will come through soon.

$50 million? What project? Richard, you should know that he asked me to direct the Hollywood Lights project. Richard, he never does business at a loss. What did you promise him?

He said he believed in my personal brand and my skills as a director. Don't worry. I have to succeed. This is my chance to make a comeback.

Isabella, just wait. Why are you calling me so late? I was just checking if you got home. Wait, wait, why are you out of breath?

I'm at the gym. Richard wants me to play the female lead, so I have to be in the best shape. Focus on this project. We'll make our comeback together.

Okay, then you go to bed early. your performance isn't even close to good enough I've been too tired recently and haven't performed well but you can't go back on your promise about the lead role all you think about is the carpet and becoming the leading lady I'll just have to audition a new batch of actresses

sir I'm sorry please forgive me this once forget it I'll forgive you you may lack self-control but at least you're pretty open will you like this with Connor too I only do this to you Don't try to sweet-talk me. If you don't meet my standards tonight, I'll take you off the list.

I understand, sir. This one looks great, I'll post it. This woman has quite the presence. You dragged me out here in the middle of the night just to buy me late night food?

Is eating the only thing you ever think about? I called you here for something important. What's up? I arranged for you to join Sky Vault Pictures and work as an assistant for

Want me to be her assistant? Why? Keep an eye on her for me. I want to know what she's really planning. She took the initiative to ask me to cooperate this time, not just to get revenge on Connor. She must have other purposes.

Okay. Leave it to me. I only sold half my holdings and made $50 million. Those Wall Street guys deliberately hyped up the IP market and pulled investors in. Now they're stuck at the top and their cash flow won't hold for long.

Our entire strategy was hidden so well. How could anyone have seen this coming? We've been setting up this options position for six months. No one should have noticed what we were doing.

Even if someone figured it out, they shouldn't have thrown hundreds of millions into a short position. Hold off on selling first and stabilize the market. No, that's not it. they didn't wait on the sidelines they dumped their holdings and cashed out

he actually had the guts to pull this off why does it keep falling what's wrong i heard some investors were pushing up box off index options so i used the studio's funds to get in it rose a little then suddenly crashed What? How much did you lose?

Twenty million dollars. Connor, good news. What is it? The eight million dollars production grant the union applied for just came through.

Transfer it to me right now. I'm buying the drip! This is our chance to turn everything around. The studio can survive this.

You're crazy! Easy! This money isn't even enough to cover salaries and equipment, Enough. Just transfer it to me first. I'm buying the drip. Five minutes, and I already made a million dollars.
