Ian looked at the man in front of him in complete awe.

Suddenly, he realized that he had so much in his heart that he wanted to share. He wanted to ask, he wanted to understand.

Although it didn't last more than two minutes, he felt as if his prayers were being heard—though he wasn't quite convinced.

Ian got goosebumps, and he did what any normal person would do. He looked at the person in front of him and his eyes widened, as if he had never seen a human before.

"Ian. Railin's voice came in a more hoarse tone.

"Oh, wow. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Ian said with a smile and quickly moved a step to the right, no longer blocking his way.

"What's that?" she asked as the gentleman sneered and walked over to get what he wanted.

Ian didn't say anything, instead continuing to walk towards the cash register.

The boss glanced at the goods and said, "One hundred and fifty dollars, sir." "

Give. Ian gave him the money, and the two walked out of the grocery store.

After walking a few steps outside the store, Ian stood on the side, within a distance of being able to see the main entrance of the store.

"Why are we waiting here?" asked Raylen, seeing that Ian hadn't paid the slightest attention to where she and them were, a little loudly.

"Wait. "

Huh?" she frowned, and suddenly, something occurred to her. "Are you waiting for the one inside? really?" she asked again.

Ian rolled his eyes. "Me. I. You'll be surprised to know what I'm thinking right now, so just give me some time.

She smiled. Of course she knew what he was thinking. It must be work-related. Regardless, Ian is a person who will do whatever it takes to get to his films and what interests him.

There's a good saying, "You never know when a creative idea will explode." The same goes for Ian.

Except for Ian, Raelyn stood with her hands crossed. Ian with groceries.

"Baby, put these in the car. I'll be here in two minutes. He

said when he saw the man they met inside walking towards them.

——————————

[Minutes before the grocery store] There was a man in the middle of the grocery store

, wearing shorts. He wears long sleeves, which are his favorite pairs of long sleeves, to cool off when there is no work pressure. He's doing his favorite thing to do, or rather, his second favorite thing to do, second only to cooking.

"...... Also, I need lettuce. With that, he walked down the aisle where the vegetables were placed.

There was a man in front of him, wearing jogging bottoms and a T-shirt, standing there looking at something.

He didn't notice, but he thought the woman in his hand was beautiful. She is charming and her facial features are almost perfect.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, but the man in front of him didn't seem to care that he was delaying the line.

"I'm sorry, sir, you're lining up for lettuce!" the

man looked at him with a blank expression. It's like seeing a ghost. His eyes were open and his mouth was slightly open. It's strange that no one has ever reacted like this to a chef. Not on this lifeline.

He still looked shocked. His expression changed slightly, but it was to stretch his lips so that he could smile. His eyes softened a little, but despite this, he still looked silly.

"Are you crazy, get out of here!"

he said loudly, startling the woman next to the madman.

"Ian?" asked him in a low voice from the beautiful woman beside him.

The madman couldn't help but move to the left. The other man frowned at the strange encounter.

Is it normal to be led by the nose and get angry with others, but with wide eyes, as if they had never seen people with their naked eyes?

He felt that the woman and the madman were gone, gone forever.

He sighed, knowing that when they were gone, no one would stare at him like an eagle. He breathed a sudden sigh of relief.

"Whew!" what the hell is going on?" he muttered to himself, picking up the best lettuce and preparing it for a Caesar salad.

He walked to the cashier and settled all the goods.

"Thank you, sir, and have a great evening!" said

the woman at the cash register with a polite smile.

"You too!" walked

out of the store, the cold wind blowing in his face. His nose began to frost a little, but he walked out with the goods without looking back.

"Hey!"

a voice came from his left, and he turned away.

Damn, that's fucking right. The madman

: "What do you want to do? Why do you keep looking at me like that? I don't like men, I like men very much." If you like men so much, can you help me connect with the pretty lady you're with?" he asked, looking the madman in the eye.

The madman smiled and said nothing more.

"My name is Ian, and it's a pleasure to meet you. The

man replied with a smile. "I don't want to know you. I'm under a lot of pressure at work today. If you want to talk something, come tomorrow at 6pm to the Adoré restaurant in the alley. I've got to go, goodbye!"

He said and left, without waiting for me to reply. He was tired. He just wanted to cook his favorite soup and go to bed so he could get the peace he had longed for all day.

——————————

[Reina Studios the next morning]

Ian woke up early in the morning with a big smile on his face. He felt that after weeks of stress, he could finally win the day. He felt that the clouds had finally cleared and the sun was shining down.

"Good morning, beauty"

he kissed Raireen on the lips.

"Uh-huh!" she sat down and sighed. She was tired. "Hey, what was going on yesterday

?" "Huh

?" "What's wrong? What did you want to ask before we met this person, and then you were obsessed with him?"

she asked, and Ian suddenly knew what she was talking about. For a moment, Ian thought she must be asking the man he had met.

"That's... Come here. He grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her body. "I was trying to let you move in. I mean, come on, Rei, you're going to spend the whole week in this mansion. I can easily arrange another room for you if you want, and if you don't want to, we can share the bedroom here... It's just that...... It's just that if you're comfortable!, there's no pressure!" he said, emphasizing the latter.

Lei Lin smiled cheekily. In fact, she knew he was about to invite her to move in. She had a gut feeling that what she had just heard, and as usual, she waited for him to say it himself, rather than ask for it.

"I'd love to. When am I going to move things?" she asked with a smile.

——————————

Ian booked a table for two [at Adoré's]

to warm himself up in a French restaurant next to Hollywood's busiest street.

He had been sitting in the same chair for almost 15 minutes, but the waiter was busy. In his opinion, many people have already got their meals and are enjoying them to the fullest.

It's a fun restaurant, and Ian feels like the guy he's met is running the restaurant with his recipes.

"Hello, what do you need?" the

waiter finally walked over, and Ian ordered in the most polite way possible.

"Right away, sir

" and "Thank you"

Within a few minutes, the ordered dish was served in front of him, and he knew the rest of the matter, and he was savoring the most delicious meal he had ever eaten. He felt as if the food was heaven, and he couldn't help but moan at the sudden gustatory shock.

He finished his meal with a satisfied face and raised his hand to ask about the stay.

"What's the matter

?" "Please give me the receipt and say a word to the chef, okay?"

the waiter raised an eyebrow and smiled nervously.

"You're me, Ian Renner. Absolutely, yes, yes! Yes!Yes!" they

waited, and with a steady, quick step, the cook walked out of the kitchen, dressed in a costume that matched perfectly with the white hat.

"It's you!" he said as soon as he walked up to Ian.

"Ian Renner, it's a pleasure to meet you. "

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Ian smiled knowingly.

"Can we talk?" said

Ian and DiCaprio as they sat facing each other in the latter's dining room.

"Why are you following me?" asked DiCaprio with interest.

Ian looked at him for a moment. His beard had fully grown. The facial features are still the same, but there are some places that look slightly different from what Ian remembers him.

Ian only glanced at it, unable to point out what the change was. But for him, what was happening in front of him was incredible.

Here he had met actors from the previous world, where they were living a new life, but this time it was very different.

"As you know, I'm a director. "

A very famous director. But director, believe me, I haven't had time to watch a movie for two years. I cook here all day and then go home to rest.

Ian laughed. Leonardo DiCaprio - Chef Who would have thought?"

"Yes, I see what you mean. But wouldn't you want to take a break from all this hard work--

" "I love my job, sir. My restaurant, my life, my food, I love it here.

Ian nodded.

"My request is not beyond your comfort zone. Don't worry. But I have something for you. In terms of performance. There's a role that I think you're a good fit for. If you haven't heard of it yet, try asking the waiter what happened to the actors who came to work with me, even though some didn't even know ABC.

DiCaprio smiled.

"This is Los Angeles. Hollywood. Everyone is an actor, more or less. I've done three plays myself, just to find my true passion. Sir, if you have any other ideas than to drag me to act again, you can go. Or, unless you want to order more?" Ian

replied with a smile. This time, his words were as majestic as Leonardo's answer.

"I believe that as long as this restaurant has a little bit of fame, a little bit of media influence, and a few more customers, it will have a place to go. It's already bustling here, but the two or three restaurants outside are also... Ian stood up. "If you still want to talk, please contact my assistant.

Ian handed him the business card and walked out.

——————————

[Studio Reina]

was full of tension in the conference room they frequented. Raireen, Nick, and Martin all felt as if Ian was there as they expected, as if the world was going to be turned upside down.

"I can't believe it! these people are shameless!" Nick said aloud to the three of them.

"I'll try to talk to the PR and turn some of them down.

"No, don't. Lei Lin hurriedly said. "I'll talk about it when Ian comes. I'm sure he must have something to say. As

soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Ian walked in, dressed in a gray suit and as charming as ever.

"There's something you have to look at. Nick

spun the laptop, and Ian could finally see what they looked worried about.

He looked at the letters.

Exciting things are about to happen at Lincoln

Studios @伊恩-Rena and @Rena Studios. Stay tuned!#激动人心的新合作

Ian frowned after reading it.

"What should we do?" asked Rei, reading everyone's thoughts.

I can't believe they used the same trick as Goofy. Gotta stop them!" Ian thought to himself.

"Schedule a meeting as soon as possible. Let John be there too. I've got an idea.

As soon as Ian finished speaking, everyone in the office walked out. They all went into Ian's office. Raereen stayed.

"Did you talk to that guy today? The one you'd love to meet?"

"Yes, I did. Interestingly, he is not French. Didn't want to accept my marriage proposal. But I have a feeling he's going to change his mind. I'm sure I said something that stuck with him

"——————————

[Lincoln Studio]

"... Are you sure Ian wants to see us?" Will asked Gal aloud.

Gal nodded.

Will sighed. "Then let's go see him. Also, you had a great idea! It worked! Now the rumors of this partnership have spread all over Nwitter. That's the kind of popularity we didn't get in our last project!" said

Gal. He's not a guy who likes to do things that go against morality – even if Hollywood is a place where a lot happens every day.

Goofy did the same. You see, Goofy and Ian collaborated on "Avatar". It was a fucking masterpiece, the visual effects were top-notch, and in my memory, Avatar was something we've never had. It sets the bar high for animated films

" "Stop praising him, is the board happy with the news?"

Will hasn't been on the board for a few weeks because he knows no one wants him to attend the meeting

" yes, they were surprised. I hope this will be successful. If not, you're not the only one going home,"

——————————

Leonardo DiCaprio sat on a small chair facing the busy street. It's his favorite place to be, and he can stare blankly at the road – the busy one.

People walk aimlessly down the streets. Some are smiling, some are expressionless, but there are also those who express their emotions. After working continuously in the kitchen every day, such a view will make him linger.

But today, there is one more thing that makes him curious and busy. The madman said something - his name was Ian.

If you want to talk. Please contact my assistant

With a sigh, he realized how right his words were. There is a lot of competition between bakeries and restaurants around him.

He knew that when he was at home, he had to think about something. In any case, he wanted to put an end to his endless longing for the director.

On the other hand, he has acted before and loves it. Maybe he couldn't even admit it himself. But he knew he couldn't make a career out of it, which made him focus more on cooking.

He sighed again and stood up to close the restaurant.

It was a strange day

——————————

[a week later]

Ian sat silently in front of his computer, typing out a script that he thought would be so much needed soon.

"They're coming, Ian"

Murphy's voice came over the intercom.

"Yes, let them in. Two

minutes later, Will and Gal walked in the door.

Seeing them walk into his office together, Ian had mixed feelings. That's not how things shouldn't have got. But alas, his mind changed.

"You may be seated, both

" "I'm glad to meet you, Ian.

Will said immediately, and Gal smiled.

Ian raised an eyebrow. "So what now? For the sake of cooperation, are we just spreading rumors everywhere? What kind of professional law?" he asked calmly.

Given the gravity of the situation, Gal felt, this seemed a little too deformed. In the past seven days, there has been a lot of rumors. Whenever something happens at Reina Studios, it's pretty much the same, but this time, it's much more serious. Some reporters asked Ian questions from time to time. The Reyna studio gets multiple calls every day asking what is going to happen, or if it's true.

People are already excited to know what will happen in the future if they are going to work together, what kind of film or series will start filming, or even take on a Hollywood franchise.

"Goofy did the same, Ian. You revealed this to the public in an interview. Everyone is talking about it. So we thought, why don't we do the same? Is there a problem?" Will asked rhetorically.

Ian smiled and nodded. "I don't know why you still don't see the problem. But you know what, since everybody thinks we're going to work together, let's give them a chance to work together.

Will felt as if he hadn't heard what Ian had just said. He coughed. "Wait, what?"

"Yes, I realized, why not make your dreams come true? Let's work together... But there are a few conditions.

Gal was both surprised and shocked. He looked at Will and then at Ian.

"Let's listen

" Ian pressed the intercom

"Murphy, please come in.

When John walked into the office and sat down next to Will, both Will and Gal remained silent.

He will co-direct the film.

Gal nodded and replied, "Okay."

"Also, you'll sell your OTT platform shares.

Gal's eyes lifted.

"No, it won't. Will replied immediately.

Ian snorted, "Alright then, it's none of our business here."

As Ian spoke again, the temperature in the room rose a few more degrees. "We all know how important this collaboration is to you. If the collaboration is not successful, the board of directors of Lincoln Studios will fire you both. So, here's your chance. Accept it or give it up.

Both Will and Gal had a look of failure in their eyes.

Will's next words made Ian feel that it was much easier than he had imagined.

"Let's get started".
