Chapter 53 Solomon's Trouble

I have to say that Lacey is Lu Qi’s lucky star.

It was she who allowed Lu Qi to find a new job full of money; it was she who introduced Lu Qi to his first business; it was she who made the name of Atlas Security Consulting appear in media magazines for the first time.

Lacey seems to be more concerned about Lu Qi's career than her own acting career.

No, Lacey called again and said that he wanted to introduce a potential customer to him. But this time, the other party's background was not trivial...

"Solomon Richard?!"

When Lu Qi heard the name of this potential client, he couldn't help but be startled, and then asked: "Are you talking about the famous film producer?"

This old man is a big shot in Vinewood!

If you have to compare with real people, this old man is very similar to Hollywood super boss Spielberg. Both of them are legendary producers in the industry and also own their own DreamWorks.

It's just that Solomon did worse than others...

Hearing the surprise in Lu Qi's tone, Lacey on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, then joked:

"Huh? I thought you didn't know him. After all, you are a caveman who doesn't pay attention to entertainment news..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Well... I have a friend who is his super fan, so..."

"Okay, okay, I'm just joking. I know you and I'm not an outdated guy who doesn't even own an entertainment magazine at home..."

After complaining about Lu Qi, Lacey explained his purpose:

"I heard him say before that he had run into some trouble recently. I was thinking that you might be able to help him, so I arranged a meeting for you without permission."

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Oh, what is the time and place?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon, Richard Zunjue Studio office."

"Okay, I'll be on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi looked up at the clock on the wall and found that there was still one hour before the appointed time.

So, after changing into a black suit to make him look more professional, Lu Qi drove towards the city center and sped away...

...

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Richard Zunjue Studio.

This is Lu Qi's first time coming to the largest production factory in Hollywood.

There are RVs specially prepared for actors. Vinewood actors wearing various film and television costumes can be seen everywhere like pedestrians on the roadside.

The film or TV series currently being filmed is in full swing creating art...

Being in the studio, Lu Qicai finally had a real feeling that "this is Vinewood."

Parking the car in the parking lot in front of the office building, Lu Qi tightened the corners of his suit, then strode up the stairs and entered the office building of Lord Richard.

After explaining his purpose to the lady at the front desk, Lu Qi followed the instructions and followed the stairs to the chief production office on the third floor.

"Bang bang" twice, the office door was opened.

An old man in a suit with gray hair came into view.

After staying on Lu Qi's unusually young face for half a second, Solomon Richard waved to him and said:

"You must be Alex, come in."

"Thanks."

Lu Qi walked into the office, closed the door, and turned around, almost stepping on the stuffed tiger lying on the ground.

"You know, I originally had three secretaries to accompany me, but now I have to rely on my left and right hands to make myself feel better."

Before Lu Qi could comment on this, Solomon came to the desk and gestured to the seat in front of him for Lu Qi to sit down.

As soon as Lu Qi sat down, he heard Solomon say:

"Lacey said you are a very reliable personal security consultant, is that true?"

Facing the old man's burning gaze, Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, he shrugged and said calmly:

"I think so."

Solomon picked up a cigar, lit it, took a puff, exhaled the smoke from his nose, and then said:

"Young man, it's good to be confident. But tell me, Alex, what can you do to help me?"

"everything!"

When Lu Qi said this, his expression was indifferent, which made people feel as if everything could be done easily.

His confident attitude made Solomon have a higher evaluation of him in his heart.

Putting down the burning cigar, Solomon pondered for a moment and asked:

"Um...what did you hear from Lacey?"

"She didn't say much, she just said that you were in some trouble and needed help making a movie."

"Yes, that's it..."

While murmuring, the old man suddenly changed the subject, "You know, people always say, never collaborate with children or animals. However, I would like to add two more items to this list: Never collaborate with directors or actors.

!”

After the sudden anger, the old man became a little depressed and his tone was slightly low, "I always have a feeling that this movie will kill me..."

Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but spread his hands and said:

"Hey, that's why I'm here. Tell me, what's the problem?"

Glancing at Lu Qi's determined black eyes, Solomon calmed down a little and said:

"Milton McIlroy."

"I chose him as the second male lead because he is cheap. By the way, let me tell you, he has no acting talent."

"But, he has a new agent, Rocco Pelosi. That guy has been clamoring to re-sign with us, and now he has suspended filming until he gets paid!"

When he said he was angry, the old man slapped his thigh and stood up quickly.

"Sounds like a problem."

"Haha, this is not the biggest problem..."

"Anton Baldry! Ever heard of him?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi shook his head, "I rarely read entertainment magazines."

"He is the director of this film, and he is also a villain who was ruined by alcohol and methamphetamine!"

"Now he has a complete mental breakdown. He doesn't know why he is crazy all day long. He will only be immersed in the illusion he constructed and refuses to return to reality!"

Looking at Solomon who was dancing with anger and his veins stretched, Lu Qi was afraid that the old man would suffer a stroke or burst a blood vessel due to anger, so he quickly interrupted:

"So what do you want me to do? Kill Rocco Pelosi?"

"No, God, of course not." Just after he finished speaking, the old man suddenly reacted and muttered: "Uh... can it still be like this?"

Before Lu Qi could answer him, he shook his head and rejected this tempting option.

"This is a bad idea, don't kill anyone. Just... teach him a lesson, and then bring back my director and second male lead, and preferably both of them are willing to cooperate well, that will be enough."

"Okay, as you wish."

Standing up, Lu Qi walked up to Solomon, shook his hand, and said meaningfully:

"It seems that you have found yourself a new assistant..."

"Of course, the scope of service does not include helping you feel good!"

Hearing this, Solomon was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
Chapter completed!
