Star Tycoon

Chapter 136 Spending the New Year Abroad
Two days before the New Year, Tian Ersan had already secretly left Taoxian County and arrived in the United States.

There's only one purpose for coming to the United States: to rest.

Tian Ersan decided to take two days off, so he attended the dinner party hosted by Holly.

Holly has recently been dealing with the European market and plans to venture into European art films.

"I'm going to win the grand prize at the Cannes Film Festival this time!"

Holly was talking nonstop in the hotel's private room.

There were more than ten people in the private room, including the director, the producer, and the two male and female leads.

Originally, the male lead was supposed to be someone else, but after Tian Ersan came over, he replaced that male lead with Tian Ersan.

This time, he came not only as a trading partner personally invited by Cotton Town, but also as a big name in live-streaming e-commerce.

More accurately, they are marketing experts for online shopping platforms.

In fact, the capital circles in the United States are far more interested in Tian Ersan than in Cotton Town.

In this era, the internet industry in the United States is more developed, and various internet capital and socialite circles are looking for "monetization channels" in the internet industry.

Tian Ersan is undoubtedly a successful person in this field, and the actresses who have come here are also very clear about what they need to do.

The movie is called "Classroom Romance".

Eighteen-year-old Tian Ersan plays the role of Shi Di, an eighteen-year-old male high school student in the drama.

Forty-year-old Marika Lawrence plays Viona, a thirty-seven-year-old female teacher in the series.

The Swedish actress, Marika, doesn't understand Chinese and also has difficulty understanding the broken English spoken by the men there.

But for this well-paying job, I still have to keep smiling.

Holly founded Westlife Film Company and recruited beautiful and talented actors.

Because it's located near Hollywood, Westlife has many foreign actors and plenty of beautiful women.

The director and screenwriter of the production team quickly started chatting. They didn't understand Swedish, and since someone had given them advance notice, they naturally didn't want to have too much contact with the actresses.

Xicheng Films is not well-known, but fortunately, the actors in the crew are also not well-known.

The positioning this time is very simple: niche art films, indie movies.

The more niche the film, the more beautiful the actresses, and the more attention is paid to looks when casting. There is no shortage of pretty women willing to sleep with the director and investors.

The actors in these kinds of movies are more uninhibited, and the content is more explicit.

Needless to say, the plot is so bad that the title alone would not pass the censorship in China.

Foreign films shot abroad certainly don't need to be shown domestically. Neither Tian Ersan nor the others ever considered the domestic market.

Others are aiming for the prize, but Tian Ersan only wants to win the competition and relax a bit when he's bored.

While the others were eating, drinking, and chatting about topics unrelated to filming, Tian Ersan took out a translation app on his phone and translated "hello" into Chinese.

Just as Marika was about to enjoy her meal, she noticed the cell phone that the cute boy next to her had placed on the table.

She recognized about half of the text on the translation interface.

Upon seeing this, the elegant and mature woman smiled, extended her finger, and clicked on the instant translation option in the text interface that she could understand.

She quickly and patiently typed the text with her fingers.

Hello, lovely young person.

Tian Ersan quickly typed the text while Marika smiled.

It's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful lady.

Marika already knew how to use the software and started writing by hand.

Thank you, but I'm not young anymore.

Tian Ersan looked up and smiled at the beautiful actress, then quickly typed:

However, your charm only grows stronger with time, becoming more refined and alluring. I believe the audience will have no doubt about who the female lead is!

Marika enjoys the compliments from the young people.

Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Tian Ersan typed: 【Can I call you Marika?】

Marika smiled and reached out to write on her phone.

You can call me that, but I'd prefer we're just friends. I'd like to see you at parties with a girl clinging to you, not some older woman who acts like your mother.

Tian Ersan smiled and met the gaze of the mature, blue-eyed beauty.

【Marika, you're not an old woman, you're a stunning beauty who knows how to be charming.】

Marika smiled and made a helpless expression.

I'm sorry, I can't discuss anything outside of work with you anymore.

Marika pushed her phone toward Tian Ersan and then stopped looking at the enthusiastic boy.

Tian Ersan quickly lowered his head and typed, but after typing a few times, he deleted it, which took him a little while.

Marika kept an eye on the boy's movements out of the corner of her eye.

What is he writing?
Haven't given up yet?

This is not a good thing. Maybe I could accept it when he's older, but not now.

I have to refuse him.

Hopefully, he won't be too upset or angry about it.

Will it affect my work?

That's terrible, I might have kept my distance from the beginning.

Marika tried not to think about certain things, but soon noticed that the boy had placed his phone in front of his cutlery.

Marika looked up at the others, the men and women eating, drinking and chatting, paying no attention to them.

I can't talk to him anymore; this child is dangerous, both for him and for me.

Marika looked down and was about to push the phone back when she saw the text on it.

Are you sure you don't need someone to explain the food here to you? Like the carefully prepared dishes on the table? Really, you don't need that?

Marika looked helplessly at the wall directly opposite her, as if she had no choice but to give in to her coquettishness.

She quickly lowered her head, picked up her phone, and started typing.

[You troublesome kid, I'm sure you have no shortage of girls who like you.]

Tian Ersan moved his chair closer to Marika and sat down, quickly typing on his phone as he sat close to her.

Yes, being popular is a happy kind of trouble. Popular Marika, what would you like to eat?

Marika glanced at the food on the table. Soon, as if tutoring a boy, she leaned close to him and gently swiped her finger on her phone.

Tian Ersan could smell the perfume and shampoo on Marika, as well as the body temperature and ambiguous atmosphere when the two leaned on each other.

[Please introduce these beautifully presented dishes to me, enthusiastic young man.]

Marika turned her head and looked at Tian Ersan beside her. When their eyes met, they both had friendly smiles on their faces.

Of course, whether it's here or elsewhere, please let me introduce it to you.

Marika quickly wrote it down by hand:
Are you talking about this city?

Tian Ersan: [Yes, including the upcoming accommodations and work arrangements, we'll have some private time to practice our acting, but before that, we need to eat well. And you've already encountered the most delicious food in the city, right in front of you.]

Marika looked at the dishes in front of her, then suddenly looked at the boy to her side.

Tian Ersan smiled, stood up, and used his chopsticks to place a piece of abalone in clear soup into Marika's bowl.

Marika lowered her head, picked it up with her fork, and elegantly put it into her mouth to chew.

The abalone is tender and the broth is clear and mellow. It is refreshing and delicious when chewed, and leaves a lingering aftertaste after swallowing.

Soon, Marika smiled and turned her head to look at Tian Ersan, who was eating with his head down. She leaned close to Tian Ersan's ear and whispered something she thought no one else would understand.

"I love this dish; it's just like you."

Tian Ersan raised his head, smiled and nodded, as if he were pretending to know what he didn't.

Seeing that some people were leaving and others were still drinking and chatting without paying attention to this place, Marika leaned over and whispered in his ear, breathing in the youthful scent emanating from the boy.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm, I'm glad. Maybe you can be a little bolder, just like me."

Marika believed that others wouldn't understand what she was saying, and that communication could only be done in English, so she was unusually bold.

Tian Ersan swallowed the food in his mouth, stood up and whispered in the ear of the beautiful woman who was a few centimeters taller than him and was 1.75 meters tall: "The moment I first saw you, I was looking forward to everything tonight."

Marika looked astonished and was speechless for several seconds before finally opening her mouth in surprise.

"you…"

“Yes,” Tian Ersan said with a smile, “What connects us is not only our eyes and enthusiasm, but also our language.”

Marika gradually accepted everything, putting on a serious and calm demeanor.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Marika said softly, her eyes fixed on the food on the table, no longer looking at him.

Tian Ersan reached out and picked up some food for her. "Do you hate it, Marika?"

“Okay… I don’t hate it.” Marika gave a helpless look, then showed a subtle smile again. “It seems your acting skills are fine. I can’t treat you like a child anymore.”

Tian Ersan rested his arm on Marika's arm, "There won't be any other problems."

"What do you mean?" Marika asked softly, her head lowered.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Let's eat first, or everyone will leave."

Marika realized that there were only a few people left around, and even the last few people were carrying their clothes and preparing to leave.

Marika quickly asked, "Where to next?"

“You’re bolder than I thought,” Tian Ersan said in surprise. “They’ve gone home. We’re going back to our hotel room, it’s upstairs.”

Marika assumed there were other work arrangements and wasn't asking where she was going.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes," Tian Ersan said with a smile. "Aren't you already impatient?"

The rest of the people had already left, and soon only two people remained in the private room.

Just like the two people in the classroom, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Let me think about it, I have to think about it, I have to refuse. Listen, I'm an adult, you're still a child. For what just happened, let's put it off, okay?"

Marika calmed down and apologized for her mistake.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Under the laws of our country, it's normal for people my age to be in a relationship with each other. And look, this is my ID card."

Marika looked down and showed a surprised expression after seeing the birth date on it.

"You're nineteen?"

“This is a fateful encounter,” Tian Ersan said with a smile. “It’s like a once-in-a-million-mile special event. Are you sure you don’t want to capture it with your phone?”

Marika smiled helplessly, reached for her phone, and took a picture of her ID card to prove that she had not had a relationship with a minor. He was nineteen years old, just that he looked a little naive and cute as an Asian.

"You are a meticulous and elegant gentleman, as well as a cunning hunter."

Tian Ersan sat down next to him, leaning on the table, and smiled, "If I weren't so cunning, I wouldn't have had such a beautiful encounter."

Marika continued eating her food, resting her chin on her hand as she lazily scrutinized the adorable boy. Her lips still had some oil on them, glistening with a sensual sheen. When she licked her lips, she exuded the sensuality of a mature woman.

"I've heard that men from the East are generally shy and reserved, and not good at expressing themselves."

“People like that exist everywhere.” Tian Ersan looked at Marika’s tender eyes. “But I guarantee that when they see you, they’re thinking the same thing I am.”

Marika smiled slightly. "So what are you thinking?"

“Of course, it’s about the things that need to be filmed in the script.” Tian Ersan invited, “Beautiful lady, would you like to discuss this script more deeply with me after we’ve had our fill of food and drink?”

“Of course, I don’t think I can refuse.” Marika shook her head and looked at him helplessly. “Refusing you is too much trouble. I hope you can be like Stitch in the show and take the initiative to get rid of this kind of life and get on to a normal life.”

Tian Ersan laughed and said, "I'm sure I will. I'm probably a playboy who will break a woman's heart."

Marika squinted, looking at the handsome young man with amusement.

"It seems you're very confident in your skills; you shouldn't disappoint me." Marika licked her lips, becoming unusually proactive after learning that Tian Ersan had come of age.

Tian Ersan stood up and offered, "Let's go upstairs. I'll help you get more into character."

Although Marika wasn't full, she didn't want to eat anymore.

The elegant mature woman and the handsome young man quickly and quietly left the private room together and headed upstairs to the battlefield.

With ample physical strength, a well-trained body, and an unwavering will, he quickly made this foreign beauty surrender.

Compared to domestic female celebrities who negotiate collaborations and have net worths in the billions, Tian Ersan prefers foreign female celebrities who are straightforward and mutually beneficial.

At the very least, when these female celebrities sleep with an 18 or 19-year-old, they will clearly understand that they are the ones who are getting the better deal.

In China, even if a female celebrity in her forties or fifties sleeps with a younger man, it still feels like the eighteen or nineteen-year-old is getting the better deal.

If they couldn't reach an agreement on what they wanted within a minute of meeting, Tian Ersan would give up.

As it turns out, Tian Ersan has no shortage of beautiful women. He had just finished sleeping with Marika and hadn't even left the hallway when the second female lead pulled him into the next room, where he had a free friendly match with the already somewhat famous second female lead.

The friendly match between teenagers, whose names they didn't even recognize, had just ended when an alluring mature woman from the next room came out and their eyes met. So they went inside and did it again.

Fortunately, this thing, like taxation, has a lower limit, so it doesn't go on indefinitely.

After a busy afternoon of rest, Tian Ersan returned to his online space to attend to important life matters.
