"Joey?" Su Lingxi was stunned for a few seconds, looking at the dusty figure of the person who came in with surprise, "Did something happen in the company?"
Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any reason why he would appear on the set at this time.
To her surprise, Joey not only did not answer her question, but instead grabbed her hand and led her straight to the RV parked in front of the door.
This behavior, which was not very intimate, made Su Lingxi feel a little bit abnormal at this moment because of his difficult-to-read facial expression - to be fair, she already had enough things to do now, and she really didn't have any extra energy to deal with the so-called emotional dispute.
But it was precisely because of the expression on his face that was very different from usual that Su Lingxi had a premonition that something bad was about to inevitably happen before his eyes.
"Has your 'little problem' been solved?" Joey said carefully, in a low voice, with a blazing light flashing in his fiery and bright green eyes. "I thought we were friends, right? But you - you went through all this and didn't say a word to me. I don't understand why."
He had a head of fluffy, soft blond hair on his white forehead, which gave him a gentleness similar to that of a long-haired sheepdog.
But Su Lingxi was not shaken by this gentleness. She took the initiative to meet his eyes and said in a light tone: "Tracy mentioned that you have been so busy with company affairs recently that you can't even sleep well. I don't think it's necessary to bring up such a small matter to distract you - you know, this is not a big deal, I can handle it myself."
Joey's eyes flashed with hurt, and he opened his mouth to defend himself - he was not only hurt, but also angry. How could she say that this was just a small matter? How could she mention this matter in such a lighthearted manner? Didn't she treat him as a friend she could trust, and even her own body and health as if she didn't care?
However, facing her eyes as calm as a lake, and her gentle yet distant expression, he swallowed his words unwillingly: Nicole must be very angry that he came here rashly today, and if he doesn't change his habit of speaking without restraint when angry, his image in Nicole's heart may become even worse.
"I..." Joey paused, his tone softened, "I'm just worried about your health. This issue is also closely related to the future development of Sunrise... I don't mean anything else."
"Of course, I know that the founder's health is indeed very important to Sunrise." Su Lingxi's slightly tense shoulders relaxed. She sat on the sofa with her arms folded, and said in a playful tone, "Thank you for your concern, Joey. You are such a reliable friend."
Joey had heard this kind of polite words too many times. He felt depressed and disappointed, but he could only pretend that he didn't care. "It's nothing. I hope my reckless behavior won't cause you too much trouble. I mean, the group of people surrounding the car seem to have misunderstood something."
"Please be considerate of their curiosity which has increased exponentially due to the boring work." Su Lingxi smiled and shook her head. "It's just some kind gazes. Don't worry too much. Nothing will go wrong."
"That's great," Joey replied, his heart not really meaning it - God knows, he actually wished he could have a "status" in front of outsiders.

After the filming was completed, "The Veil" entered a series of post-production processes including art film editing, production, preview and award-winning. Su Lingxi also flew back to Los Angeles as soon as possible after dealing with the funding issues of the "The Enlightener" crew.
"The Enlightened will be finished by the end of January next year at the latest, and we can start selecting the next project."
In the spacious living room, Su Lingxi and Tracy sat opposite each other, with five stacks of documents neatly placed on the coffee table.
"Are these the projects that UTA is currently in the preparation stage?" Su Lingxi picked up the document closest to him and flipped through it briefly. "It looks like the story setting is pretty good."
"In fact, these projects are high-quality projects that Joey and I carefully selected from UTA's internal resources." Tracy smiled and continued to talk, "I think you have seen the financial statements that Bertha sent. The company now has nearly 60 million in funds available - yes, this money is enough for us to make a good movie, but I think Sunrise's current business model is not suitable for continuous independent production projects. If it continues to maintain the state of diversified investment in the past two years, there may be unexpected positive effects."
"I once proposed my idea. Before the second round of capital expansion of the company is completed, it is enough for us to maintain the frequency of producing one film every two years. Joint investment and joint production are more suitable options for us, which can give full play to our advantages. Now, obviously, I still hold the same idea - what about you, Nicole, what is your opinion?"
"I totally agree with your idea." Su Lingxi said sincerely, "We still have a lot to learn about independent production, and I also have a lot of shortcomings in production - it's not as easy for me as acting."
This is indeed what she really said.
Although she served as the producer of "The Enlightener", she did not play a big role in the early and middle stages of the production of the film. Compared with Joey, she was more like a nominal producer with an empty title. In Su Lingxi's plan, her acting career will continue for many years, which means that for a long time in the future, she will not be able to stay in the crew throughout the whole process, and it is even more impossible for her to devote herself to a film like a professional producer.
Not to mention how much work Tracy has as the agent of two A-listers.
Therefore, on the whole, for Sunrise now, co-production with other companies is the best option - they can't always leave the company affairs to Joey alone and then just wait to collect the net profit.
"Well, you're obviously a wise girl." Tracy snapped her fingers and looked at the remaining piles of documents on the coffee table. "Then we should discuss the investment direction for next year. Take a closer look at these projects. Your professional vision is also a very important screening criterion for us."
