His Best-Selling Lie — Episode 8

No. No one. I was just talking to Royus, asking what he wanted for dinner. Then I'll go to the restroom Damn it! Royce, I was willing to work with you, but if you choose to play this way, don't blame me for what happens next.

Isabella, Connor has officially prepared Hollywood Lights, and the production is burning cash like crazy. Richard invested $50 million. The agreement requires the film to gross $150 million at the box office.

If it falls short, Connor will be personally liable for all losses, plus a 30% penalty. $150 million. Given his current situation, he won't be able to secure prime screening spots from theaters. The key is when we make our move.

When will we take action? Sue for copyright now or wait until they finish Wait until they finish filming. The more money they have trapped, the greater their losses. If you sue now, you only need to pay a small amount of liquid ideologies.

Understood. I'll contact the copyright attorneys and make sure we can secure the injunction Remember, don't let anyone trace this back to us. Don't worry. All the original copyright registering documents were independently Director, how did I do just now?

See those veteran socialites? They're way more famous than you in this world. With your current reputation, it's going to be hard to break out. So what should I do? I wasn't going to say anything, but I'll give you some advice because of the

Thank you, director. If you want to blow up from this show, you need a strong persona. What persona? They're classy and polite, so do the opposite.

Be more outspoken and provocative, for example. If Helen tells you to do something, refuse. And you have a great body. Take off your jacket and show it off. Helen is a Hollywood legend. If I do that, won't her fans tear me apart online?

What are you afraid of? It's all just part of the show. I have nothing left except being talked about. This is my only chance. I understand. I'll do as you say. Go take off your jacket. We're starting the next scene soon.

Director, do you really want to make her famous? This isn't what the higher-ups Let her create controversy on camera. The backlash will hit harder later. The goal was never, never to make her famous. It's to ruin her reputation completely.

Hey, you. Go wash that basket of potatoes. I'm not going. What if I ruin my nails?

I've been doing all the work. What exactly are you standing there for? I already helped out. I don't feel like doing it now.

How am I supposed to finish a team challenge by myself? If you can't handle it anymore, maybe it's time to retire. If you talk like this, no one will dare to cooperate with you in the future my boyfriend is connor a major hollywood

he's about to start a multi-million dollar production i can do whatever i want what are you going to do about it so how was my performance do you think it'll get attention it'll definitely blow up your boyfriend is a major director connor so make sure people know that should we cut the part where she insults helen in the bikini no keep the entire original

Hello, Ms. Cho. I wanted to update you on what happened. Have you finished what I told you? Done. Isabella, I don't want to spend every day just sorting files. So what do you want to do?

I want to learn how to produce films from you. Take a look at this first. This is the revised directing contract for Royce on Starvault. I've revised the non-negotiable terms.

You have a better relationship with Royce, so go negotiate with him. If she keeps bringing me to the set, I'll be able to keep Royce updated. Okay. The contract terms are finalized.

Hold the line and don't compromise. If Royce refuses, tell him he will be removed from the Star Vault project. Isabella sent someone to renegotiate the contract. She wants me to give up final cut rights.

Royce, once production starts, we'll have the upper hand. Royce, I'm here to go over the revised proposal. Ryan, why are you here? you're stripping me of my credits and editing rights and taking 70% of my

directing profits even 20% feels like they're taking too much she said if you don't accept she'll find another director we will never accept these insulting terms go and tell her that we will never accept this plan she said if you don't agree just change someone else she wouldn't dare everyone in Hollywood

Hollywood knows I'm the director of this project. Ryan, go back and tell Isabella we're ending our partnership with Sky Vault Pictures. She can make the movie herself.

Hello, Dr. Allen. I'm sorry, but I've already signed an exclusive agreement with Isabella. The AI rendering technology won't be licensed for Hollywood Lights. You can't do this.

We've already built green screens and capture systems designed for your AI architecture. The crew has been working around the clock. Your project isn't compatible with our technology.

Maybe we can work together in the future. Doctor! Hello! Come in. Isabella.

What are you here for? Dr. Allen refused to license the AI technology, but I already bought all the green screens and motion capture equipment at a high Can you take them off my hands?

Your Star Vault project needs this top-of-the-line equipment. We can negotiate the price. I don't want to. If this batch of equipment falls into my hands,

I'll have a complete cash flow crisis and I will have no way to explain it to Richard. What's it have to do with me? The price can be lower.

30% below market price and I'll take everything. Impossible! We bought the best equipment available. I'll only pay 30%.

You don't have to be this ruthless. If I do something, I do it thoroughly. I know you've been going after me because you still care about me.

Stop this. Let's get back together. What did you say? I agree to get remarried. Are you sick?

When did I say I wanted to get back together with you? You texted me saying you love me. Isn't that you asking to get back together? My phone was hacked at a few days ago.

The Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, has issued a final judgment and we are officially divorced. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Are you serious?

Do you think I'm as stupid as Lexi? Calling you by that disgusting name? You insulted Lexi again! I've been too nice to you, haven't I?

Take a good look at your nearly bank-supped company before you regret it. How's the business going? Director Royce said he wouldn't accept the new proposal. You couldn't even close such an important deal?

Don't come to work tomorrow. Go submit your resignation. Isabella has fallen out with me and is forcing me to give up Final Cut. I need to find a new partner. But who? Why haven't you bought me a trending spot yet?

The show is about to air and I need the buzz. I'll handle it later. Do it now. Hurry. lexi because the ai technology fell through i have to spend tens of millions more building

a pactable sets don't bother me with this crap director connor are things not going well with your girlfriend lately why are you calling me i heard richard invested in you and you're looking for an experienced creative lead i'd like to discuss a partnership you you just got kicked Picked out of Skyvault Pictures, and now you want to join my production?

Don't be so angry. Let me show you something first. Your little girlfriend doesn't love you at all. She's just using you to make money. What the hell are you talking about?

Look at the photo I just sent you. You must have hired someone to fake these photos and turn us against each other. I'm just giving you a friendly warning. Don't be the last one to know while helping someone count their money.

Think about it. what's going on between you and mr drake what's going on royce sent me a photo of you guys in the restaurant i was discussing the investment for hollywood lights with him he was just giving me advice as a senior

so i misunderstood you Connor called me again, but I ignored him right now. I only want to take good care of We got it a video of a billionaire hooking up with a female celebrity in a hotel this story is huge We can make a fortune from this Lucas. We've acquired all the subordinated bonds of Connors

Good. Every expense his crew incurs now ultimately adds to the debt owed to us. The paparazzi caught Lexi and Richard in a private video. Lexi gets resources from him, while Richard uses her to keep influencing To make up for the lack of AI technology, Connor's spending on practical sets has gone way over budget.

Once the production is fully underway and he has no way out, we'll trigger the bond liquidation according to the contract and cut off all his production
