Bayonetta: You really stink
Since the beginning of the new century, Hollywood's demand for superstars has actually decreased.
In the 1990s, Hollywood had two famous Toms, both of whom were superstars.
They are Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.
Tom Cruise was incredibly popular in Tom Cruise 1990s. He held the record for consecutive films grossing over 100 million dollars. Every movie he starred in eventually grossed over 100 million dollars.
This solidified his superstar status; people would automatically go to the cinema whenever they heard his name.
Although there were instances of spending millions to buy box office revenue, the merits outweigh the flaws.
Tom Hanks is no ordinary actor either; he won the Academy Award for Best Actor two years in a row for his roles in "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump".
This made him only the second actor in history to win consecutive Academy Award, thus becoming a superstar of that era.
However, in terms of box office appeal alone, Tom Cruise is still stronger.
However, Tom Cruise is just the last superstar in Hollywood.
With the arrival of the new era and the development of the internet, people have fewer and fewer choices when it comes to watching movies.
People will no longer blindly watch a movie just because Tom Cruise is in it.
No other celebrity has this kind of "prestige".
Even Tom Cruise couldn't do it, let alone anyone else.
Therefore, Li Chen felt that whether or not there were celebrities made little difference.
For a great movie, casting big stars is just icing on the cake.
What truly matters is the quality of the film itself; whether it features big stars or not is irrelevant.
However, for many Hollywood companies, having a star's inherent popularity is a safer bet.
After hearing Li Chen's words, Black Widow Natasha felt relieved.
She shouldn't have hoped the movie would be good.
She should hope the movie flops, so that no one will notice her or bother Li Chen.
But the thought of Li Chen losing money made her unwilling to accept it.
So it became a situation where both ends were blocked.
But at this point, she couldn't care less about anything else.
After having dinner with Li Chen, she went straight to the hotel.
"This is the last day. I'm leaving tomorrow. Take me with you!"
Natasha was very determined, and extremely obsessed, as if she wanted to remember this feeling.
"I haven't forgotten your promise to heal me."
While Li Chen was engaged in a fierce and hopeless battle, Bayonetta and Jeanne were also wandering outside.
They followed the source of the magic to a bar.
"The magic is in here."
They are very keen on searching, or rather, exploring.
Since they have no relatives or friends here anyway, they might as well do something they enjoy.
For example, we found the mages' bar, and here...
Standing outside the bar, they were stopped by two burly men dressed in black.
"Bayonetta, can you smell it?"
"The smell of blood."
Bayonetta nodded gracefully; she was dressed in a classic style, and her glasses made her look very alluring.
Even the two burly men guarding the gate were somewhat tempted by this stunningly beautiful girl with an eleven-headed figure and glasses.
"Handsome, we just want to go in and have some fun."
Jeanne deliberately spoke seductively.
Faced with the alluring, white-haired witch, the two security guards exchanged a glance and suddenly revealed a wicked smile.
Then they stepped aside, revealing meaningful expressions. "Alright then, have fun."
Bayonetta laughed too, "Don't worry, everyone will have a 'fun'!"
Two women entered in high heels, making a 'thump-thump' sound, but it was quickly drowned out by the music inside.
The bars are always filled with loud, disruptive music, making it impossible for anyone to find peace.
However, a very strong smell of blood made it even clearer to them.
Witches possess extraordinary physical abilities; some, like Bayonetta and Jeanne, can even survive in the vacuum of space.
They exchanged a glance, realizing there was something seriously wrong here.
They continued walking inside and instantly became the center of attention.
Almost everyone in the bar was staring at them, their eerie gazes almost green, like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing their prey.
But Bayonetta and Jeanne seemed oblivious.
They went straight to the bar and found seats.
A pale-faced white man with Kuma- like eyes asked, "Is this your first time here?"
Bayonetta looked at him with amusement, then covered her nose. "You really stink."
The man reeked of blood, which made Bayonetta, who had been suppressing her fighting spirit for a long time, want to draw her gun.
Such blunt words made the pale-faced man's expression turn ugly, and he gripped his wine glass tightly.
But Bayonetta and the other woman ignored him. Jeanne Arc said, "Two glasses of wine, please."
There's no wine here, only blood.
The bartender didn't move, just kept wiping the glasses while watching the two of them.
It's like watching two sheep who have mistakenly wandered into a pack of wolves.
"You guys are really disappointing."
Bayonetta sighed and looked at Jeanne, asking, "What happened?"
It must be a vampire from human legend.
Jeanne spoke, "A bunch of filthy creatures, living only by absorbing blood. The only way to deal with these ugly beings is to kill them."
Bayonetta nodded.
Hearing their words, the nearby Blood Clan realized that these two had come to provoke them.
Since that's the case, then we can't blame them!
"Go on, their blood must taste delicious."
"I can already smell the delicious aroma!"
"You two stupid little bitches, you're asking for it!"
The vampire beside him could no longer bear it and pounced on him.
Even the music in the bar became much more energetic at that moment.
The female vampire spinning the DJ set threw off her underwear and started playing music like crazy.
The entire bar instantly filled with murderous intent.
The two witches, who worked together seamlessly, also acted instantly.
Bayonetta and Jeanne flipped their hands, and pistols appeared in their hands.
"Bang! Bang!"
Both witches' pistols were made of magic and were extremely lethal.
Even angels couldn't withstand it, let alone these vampires; they wouldn't even need ultraviolet bullets.
Moreover, not only in their hands, but also on their high heels, two handguns appeared.
Therefore, the witch's battle is like a ballet performance, with her legs frequently raised high, and she just stands there firing.
Bayonetta's weapon is very beautiful; its blue exterior bursts forth with red flames, like a rose amidst thorns.
"Bang! Bang!"
However, the sound of the bullets did not drown out the music.
They discovered that these vampires recovered very quickly; even if their limbs were knocked off, they could recover rapidly after just one sip of alcohol.
She's just a little weaker than before.
"That's more interesting."
Bayonetta adjusted her glasses, and the girl with glasses became interested.
