The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

"Buzz buzz~~,"

"Zizzizi~"

As the cutting machine moved, sparks were flying in the nanny's car, but few people said anything. They just looked at the old man with guilty eyes.

"The door is open!"

"OK, it's done, give the hard drive to them!"

When Michael and his gang broke into the car, at the critical moment, Shala had successfully cloned the contents of the hard drive.

"Clang~,"

The door of the nanny's car was pulled out directly, and Steve looked coldly at Michael and his group who were gathered around. But facing numerous submachine guns, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Looks like I need to dig a cemetery to bury him..., oh..., Gary, Steve...,"

At a glance, he saw the old man lying motionless on the chair. Michael looked at Gary: "What did you do to my old friend?"

Steve said coldly: "It's because you scared him!"

"Okay..., that thing should be mine, right?"

The old man's death looked indifferent. Michael shrugged, turned to look at the hard drive, and smiled politely.

"Of course!"

The content had already been cloned, so it didn’t matter if it was given to him. Gary simply unplugged the connector and threw the hard drive to Michael.

"Thanks,"

Throwing the hard drive to John, Michael smiled proudly and said, "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows, right?"

Gary sarcastically said: "It seems that you have grown a lot, but you can still speak Chinese proverbs?"

"We've been apart for three days. Let's look at each other with admiration! ... Goodbye!"

"We withdraw!"

Michael blinked at the two of them, and after confirming that there was no problem with the hard drive, he waved his hand and led a few people onto the bus.

As the bus left, the atmosphere in the nanny's car was silent, and no one spoke for a while.

Sarah's voice came from the headset:

"There's nothing wrong with the hard drive, it's just encrypted. Without the key, it's just a brick. We have no choice but to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha, and then take the opportunity to find out the buyer behind it."

After listening to Sarah's words, there was still a chance to complete the task. Gary and Steve immediately regained their energy and cheered up again.

Hotel Duchess of Madrid.

Rooftop restaurant.

Hotel Duchess of Madrid is located in the heart of Madrid, the Spanish capital. The hotel's top floor houses a terrace restaurant, which is regarded as one of the most exclusive dining venues in the city.

On the balcony, a patch of emerald green plants decorates the edge, contrasting with the surrounding blue sky and white clouds. The design of the restaurant is elegant and exquisite, with white tablecloths, tableware and decorative vases, giving people a fresh and refined feeling. There are some paintings depicting the historical scenes of Madrid hung on the walls of the restaurant, making the entire space even more culturally rich.

The restaurant's menu offers a variety of exquisite dishes, from authentic traditional Spanish cuisine to delicacies from around the world. The chefs use their exquisite cooking skills to bring a feast of taste to diners. In addition, the restaurant also selects high-quality wines from all over the world to pair the food with perfect drinks.

Dine in the balcony restaurant, where you can enjoy the stunning views of downtown Madrid while enjoying delicious food.

"Good afternoon, both of you. In the past 40 minutes, no suspicious persons have been to the rooftop restaurant and bar."

At the table in the corner, Gary was leisurely tasting the special wine here, and Sarah’s somewhat indignant voice came from the headset: “So, the person you are looking for should be there already. ...Oh, if not If you read it wrong, the man walking towards you is... By the way, your spoken English should be pretty good, right?"

At this moment, a tall Indian man walked towards Gary and looked at Gary with doubt in his eyes:
"Are you Buck?"

"Yes!"

Gary picked up the wine glass and looked up at the Indian man, nodding slightly.

At this moment, a man wearing a slim-fitting suit at another table stood up and walked over. He looked at the suitcase on the stool: "Is this for me?"

"Yes,"

"OK, good night!"

The man nodded and said hello, turned around and left. The Indian man picked up the suitcase on the table and followed closely.

"Found out!"

Just as Gary looked at the backs of the two of them, Sarah's voice came from the headset:

"His real identity is Harris, and this guy is Symonds' lawyer and adviser."

"Symonds?"

Steve stood aside and thought for a moment: "Isn't it the arms tycoon?"

Sarah nodded: "Yes, that's him! He has only played high-end games. His client targets range from militants to aborigines and ignorant children. He acts cunningly and is difficult to be caught. Only those who are doing major transactions Harris will show up only when the time comes. If Harris is there, it proves that there is big business.”

"Oh, yes...,"

Sarah's fingers kept tapping on her laptop, and soon, the latest news appeared on the screen: "Simmonds is going to hold a charity event in Cannes. What a coincidence, we also happened to be going to Cannes."

"Haha, he really cares about the orphans!"

Looking at the picture on the screen, Steve couldn't help but sneer.

…………

Los Angeles Burbank Airport is located about 30 kilometers east of downtown Los Angeles, with a strategic location and convenient transportation. The airport covers a vast area with two busy runways and multiple terminals. Every year, millions of passengers board or transfer flights to destinations around the world. The daily passenger throughput can reach 10.

"So, can any of you tell me...,"

After getting off the plane and looking at the scene in front of him, Gary was a little confused. He looked at the people who followed him and said depressedly: "When I lay down, I was obviously flying to the south of France. So, can anyone tell me Me, why am I here?”

"We're going to do the opposite...,"

Steve's words made Gary silent for a moment, and he tilted his head: "What are you talking about?"

Sarah explained: "That is to say, to retreat is to advance. We have to come here first to find a stepping stone."

"So, come and listen."

As the top commander of the operation, he was actually the last to know. Gary felt more than a little depressed.

Sarah shrugged: "Danny Francisco...,"

"Are you talking about that movie star?"

Gary became more and more depressed: "What does he have to do with us?"

Steve said: "Francisco is Simmonds' favorite movie star,"

"Then, what does this have to do with action!?"

"You can't deal with people like Symonds the same way,"

Steve continued: "Simmonds is just an ordinary person, and he will also hit a wall. He can afford everything but can't afford it, and he just can't buy Francisco. Francisco recently turned down Simmonds's multi-million dollar offer. , he didn’t agree to jump out of the cake and sing happy birthday.” Sarah then revealed their plan: “He likes to make friends with celebrities, but he is more concerned about their female companions. I will pretend to be Danny’s girlfriend, but Symonds will not. It’s easy to take the bait, so we have to be creative and find another way.”

"So how can we get this movie star to act with us?" Gary asked.

Sarah smiled and said: "I found his clue."

"So..., coercion?"

Gary was speechless and finally nodded:
"Okay, let's do it. I wish you good luck in your actions. I hope this will not cause a diplomatic incident between the two countries."

Then he looked at Sarah curiously: "So, what tricks did you find out about him?"

"I dug up some really cool stuff about notorious filmmaker Saul Goldstein,"

Sarah raised the corners of her mouth, smiled, and said: "Ask him to do something for me, trick Danny into going to Las Vegas, pretending to talk about the beginning of five movies, because we want to sneak into the event held by Simmonds Fundraiser, so you have to ask the movie star to come with us."

"creative!"

Gary fell silent: "What's Danny's excuse?"

"He has an ambiguous relationship with his agent,"

Sarah walked to a private jet and stopped, smiled, took out the tablet and showed it to Steve: "I said he is very powerful, you can ask him yourself now."

...............

Cannes.

The city is world-renowned for its luxury, elegance and cinematic events. The shining pearl of the French Riviera, Cannes attracts thousands of tourists every year to enjoy its unique sun, sand and luxury.

The sun, beach, and pier all look so charming and beautiful.

But Danny couldn't help but stop when he looked at the luxury cruise ship anchored in the port, and he retreated in his heart. Keep taking deep breaths to regulate your tension.

Steve caught him, and he had to come to such a boring charity party. When he heard what Steve and the others were talking about about 'acting', he was instantly depressed. He was just a movie star and not a real agent. And the owner of this cruise ship is actually an arms tycoon? He even invited himself to an event. I was glad that I didn't agree, but now I have to come. Because once the information in Steve's hands is exposed, his stardom will be completely over.

"Oh... Danny, you're a real movie star!"

Sarah looked at Danny's nervous look and couldn't help but smile:

"Relax a little, you're just acting yourself."

"Wait a moment…,"

Danny stopped, waved his hands, and looked at Steve and Sarah with begging expressions: "I can't do this, no, I really can't do it!"

As he spoke, Danny stepped back.

"There's nothing to be nervous about,"

Steve slowed down his voice and comforted: "Just treat it as a normal dinner party. Isn't this a common occurrence for you?"

"How could you not be nervous?"

Danny resisted: "They are all killers!"

Steve looked at Danny: "Don't you often subdue killers in movies? It's very easy. And it's no different from acting."

Sarah held Danny's arm and smiled sweetly: "Yes, agents work like actors, and no one can beat you in acting. First-class agents are all acting masters, and first-class actors are movie star."

Danny said speechlessly: "I almost believe what you said."

Steve patted Danny on the shoulder: "You are an actor, act!"

"Acting and being a star are two different things."

Danny was on the verge of tears.

"That's why we all like you." Sarah took Danny's arm and walked towards the boat.

Looking at the luxury cruise ship in the distance, Danny took a deep breath: "OK, what are you two doing while I'm acting?"

Sarah said with a relaxed smile: "We approached Simonds and then hacked into his mobile phone."

"OK, I'm ready, let's get started!"

After mentally preparing himself, Danny nodded heavily.

Against the backdrop of the faint light, the boat was like a sharp knife, cutting through the tranquil sea surface and stirring up patches of white waves.

The three Steves stared closely at the cruise ship that was getting closer and closer. Night has begun to fall, and the stars in the sky gradually light up, echoing the lights on the sea.

Finally, the boat approached the cruise ship, and Steve and the others stepped onto the deck of the luxury cruise ship. People are shocked by the hugeness of the cruise ship. The hull is as smooth as a mirror and reflects the light, making it look very gorgeous.

People on the boat were already busy making final preparations for the upcoming party. The party hasn't started yet, but the laughter from the crowd already makes people feel the lively atmosphere.

The decoration on the cruise ship is gorgeous and tasteful, with exquisite chandeliers hanging in the spacious hall, illuminating every corner. Gorgeous sofas and exquisite artwork are placed here, highlighting the luxury of the cruise ship.

Exquisite meals and champagne are ready and waiting for guests to taste. The on-site music team is debugging the sound equipment to ensure the perfect musical atmosphere for the party.

A group of beautiful models in gorgeous dresses are gathering together, looking at the exquisite jewelry on the trays in front of them. These jewels may be simple and elegant, or gorgeous and dazzling, and each one is carefully designed and unique. These jewels are not just decorations, they are the focus of tonight's auction and will be the object of competition for many people.

Night had already enveloped the entire sky, but the bright lights on the cruise ship made it feel like it was still early. The party has not yet begun, and guests from all over the world have already boarded the ship one after another. They are talking in every corner and bursting into cheerful laughter from time to time.

Steve, who is pretending to be wandering around, has installed tiny cameras in every corner of the cruise ship.

After doing all this, Steve and Sarah began to quietly observe the surrounding situation.

As the auction began, all the guests had gathered in the cabin hall.

"OK, the fun begins!"

Steve's eyes fell on the model wearing luxurious jewelry not far away, and he smiled faintly.

"Okay, but remember, you are not here to swipe your card and burn money. You don't need to remind you, right?"

In a hotel not far from the shore, looking at the various exquisite jewelry appearing on the screen, Gary had an ominous premonition:

"You spent your entire annual budget on wine on the plane, so put down your glass and get down to business and find a way to hack into Symonds' phone and find out who wants to buy this secret box."

"Okay, I get it, you are so wordy!"

Steve reluctantly looked away from those women and turned to look at the nervous Danny:
"Hey, you okay?"

"Is that okay? Are you kidding!"

Danny stopped and gave Steve an annoyed look.

"Okay, remember, you are playing yourself now!"

Sarah encouraged Danny: "Relax, if you are so nervous, everyone will know that something is wrong. The more scared you are, the more likely it is that something will happen. Just treat this as a filming set."

"Okay, I think we should go over and get acquainted."

Steve looked at a middle-aged man wearing brown sunglasses in the corner, who was having a lively conversation with a few people next to him. He turned to look at Danny:

"Start your real show!"
