### Chapter 186: Trembling Knees

"Are you sure you don't need us to drive you back to the hotel?"

"No, it's fine. I like to take a walk after dinner to clear my mind."

"Just like in a Woody Allen movie?"

"Hah, I'm not that romantic. The story of 'Manhattan' doesn't suit me; I'm more of a 'RoboCop' kind o...

### Chapter 185: Enjoyable Conversation

“Director, do you like spicy food?”

“Yes!”

Anson had just asked when Sam already answered, even somewhat excitedly.

Sam noticed Edgar and the waiter's gazes turning toward him, and he suddenly became a bit self-conscious. Clearing his throat, his gaze involuntaril...

*Chapter 184: Orchestrating a "Chance" Encounter*

Sam Raimi sat awkwardly and stiffly at the table, patiently waiting for a server to come over and take his order. His extremely introverted personality made him too shy to speak up—

Afraid to interrupt anyone’s work.

However.

He had been sitting there for fifteen minu...

*Chapter 183: Planting an Idea*

The audition went smoothly.

Edgar trusted Anson, believed in his charm and acting talent, and was confident that Anson was the perfect choice to play Spider-Man.

Now, it was the agent's turn to seal the deal.

His brain started working at full speed.

Then, Edgar caug...

### Chapter 182: Taking the Initiative

"Hehe, well done."

Seeing Anson's figure, Edgar casually slipped the phone he had been staring at into his pocket. Standing up with a natural and relaxed smile, he approached Anson without appearing eager or anxious, as if Anson had just been chatting with a friend.

"I've alrea...

*Chapter 181: A Counterstrike*

The atmosphere was full of joy.

Sam could feel the intense gazes coming from all directions, filled with curiosity and surprise. These looks, carrying emotions of astonishment and inquiry, seemed to land heavily on his skin, making his hairs stand on end.

But he didn’t mind. ...

*Chapter 180: Standard Poses*

Ian raised his hand as a signal. "The performance can stop here."

With just a few words, it was as if a spell had been lifted, breaking the magic that had filled the room. Although there was no noise, the disordered breathing was noticeable, betraying the turbulent thoughts that had ...

Chapter 179: Constructing the Scene**

"Hey, Mary Jane."

He said, with a bright smile, waving cheerfully, even unusually so, as if he was trying his hardest to showcase his charm.

However, the smile lingered only for a moment before his right hand drooped down, dragging his shoulder and the corners of his mouth down...

*Chapter 178: The Brief Audition*

Reading quickly—

Not to memorize the lines, but to grasp the scene.

Of course, if Anson could have a photographic memory, scanning the lines and then delivering a flawless performance, word for word, it would undoubtedly be impressive.

But realistically, would such an...

*Chapter 177: Inspiration Emerges*

From "Friends" to "The Princess Diaries," the first lesson Anson learned was that what the eyes can see is often the most straightforward—

They can create an illusion.

So, how to use one's own advantages, how to skillfully convert strengths and weaknesses, and how to use visu...

*Chapter 176: Off Track*

Books.

Different types of books: large, thick volumes, space-consuming picture books, and small, portable pocket books—his backpack was packed full.

Ansen was like a magician, continuously pulling items out of his backpack. The difference was that while a magician might pull ...

*Chapter 175: A Small Interest*

Youthful. Sunny.

Kind-hearted and sincere.

Willing to help others without seeking attention, humble and modest, with even a touch of shyness; unexpectedly showcasing amazing talents but retreating without seeking praise or recognition.

This was the impression Sam had been...

*Chapter 174: Creating Contrast*

Sam Raimi is observing Anson.

Sam’s standards have always been simple. In his view, "Spider-Man" isn't a work that seeks to explore artistic philosophies or deep themes—it's a popcorn movie meant for relaxation and enjoyment. So, the actor’s acting skills aren’t the most crit...

Chapter 173: The Final Show**

The auditions began.

One by one, the actors went in, in the order they arrived. The duration varied—some took as little as 15 minutes, while others took as long as 25 minutes. The differences were noticeable, but no pattern or clues could be discerned.

After each actor finish...

*Chapter 172: Youthful Presence*

Sitting closest to the door and the first to arrive at the audition was an unfamiliar face. Even with his memories from the previous life, Anson couldn’t recall him.

So, this must be Jay Rodan.

Anson searched through his memories but still couldn’t find any information abou...

*Chapter 171: Self-Destruction*

“Your agent can wait here. Inside, there are union representatives who ensure the actors' rights are protected, so you can rest assured in the waiting room. Once the audition is over, the actor will naturally return to meet you here.”

The secretary smiled, but it was a distant, p...

Chapter 347 Overnight Stay at the Hotel (Part 2)

The trio arrived at the business suite. Before entering the room, Wallace brought a device and asked if they wanted to search the room for hidden cameras.

Link thought for a moment. The Five Seasons Hotel was a global chain, and it was impossible for such a low-level mistake to occur...

Chapter 346: Late-Night Hotel Chat (Part 1)

After getting into the car, Link checked his watch. It was past 9 PM, his usual bedtime. He asked the two girls where they were staying and offered to have the driver take them back, promising to chat more tomorrow.

Chris Liu mentioned staying at the Four Seasons Hotel on Fuhua 3rd R...

Chapter 345: A Beauty Encountered Backstage

The Hong Kong leg of the tour concluded, and Link led his team to Taiwan for five concerts. Collaborating with singers like Jay Chou, Leehom Wang, Mayday, Jolin Tsai, and Karen Mok, each concert drew over 30,000 attendees, with the Taipei Arena show reaching a staggering 68,000.

Befo...

Chapter 344: Hong Kong Concert

As Link boarded the flight to Singapore, he was still thinking about his encounter with Daddario's mother the day before.

When he saw Mrs. Daddario, he politely greeted her. Not receiving a positive response, he bid farewell to Daddario.

Before the door closed, he heard Mrs. Da...

*Chapter 170: Faithful to the Original*

Sam wasn't considered the right director in the eyes of Sony Columbia and Marvel, so he spent a whole hour proving his worth.

Anson, not being the friendly, boy-next-door type like Tobey Maguire, also had to expend energy to prove that he was the right choice.

In an unseen way,...

Chapter 169 titled "Retreat to Advance":

---

Heading south, at an intersection, Anson made a turn westward, and soon, he saw another café. Unlike the brightly colored café he had seen earlier, this one was a chain store with standardized décor.

Anson paused, feeling slightly puzzled. In the original owner's memory,...

*Chapter 168: Waving Goodbye*

Roar, roar, roar!

The café was unusually lively, with the bustling energy spilling out onto the street, becoming a scene amidst the noisy and bustling traffic.

But Anson didn't respond to the surrounding cheers and applause. Instead, he first looked at the two people he was su...

*Chapter 167: Beaten to the Punch*

Scott Speedman, born in 1975, was once a competitive swimmer who even competed in the Canadian Olympic qualifying trials. Unfortunately, due to injuries, he couldn’t continue his athletic career and transitioned to acting.

Tall, handsome, and sunny, Scott quickly made a name for hi...

*Chapter 166: Prearranged Strategy*

Noisy, crowded, busy.

In the morning, New York operates at ten times the normal speed. If anyone claims that life in Los Angeles is fast-paced, they should experience life in New York to understand what it means to live in fast forward. It’s hard for the eyes to keep up with everyt...

*Chapter 135: Kaido’s Miscalculation*

After the news of Mihawk spread across the seas, a newly appointed Vice Admiral joined the Navy. In the New World, he boldly sought out the Red-Haired Pirates, who had recently gained some fame. Alone, he single-handedly defeated the crew, causing chaos among the Red-Haired Pirates.

...

*Chapter 134: Whitebeard Isn’t Afraid of Trouble*

The competition for the title of the world’s greatest swordsman in Dressrosa was broadcast far and wide in a very short time.

Hawkeye Mihawk quickly became a household name, known as the world’s greatest swordsman. Countless swordsmen set sail just to challenge him, hoping to kn...

*Chapter 133: If Jhin Could Withstand Hashirama Cells*

The Lunarian race is little known across the seas.

But those who do know them are often powerful figures.

Even someone like Zephyr has only a shallow understanding of this race.

Without other ideas, there's not much that can be done—after all, there’s only one left. E...

*Chapter 132: Rest and Recover in Dressrosa*

Jin's figure twisted and turned in the air as if there were no limits to his agility.

The moment Jin vanished from his original position, Mihawk stood firm, gripping Yoru tightly, alert to his surroundings.

Mihawk didn't consider himself invincible.

Although his strength...

*Chapter 131: Could Jhin Also Have a System?*

Jhin's arrival was something no one expected, especially since Dressrosa hadn't invited anyone from the Beasts Pirates.

But considering that the other two major pirate crews had already made their appearances, seeing Jhin wasn’t all that surprising.

However, no one had ever ...
