Poaching Talent

Mystique listened to Li Chen's words without outwardly showing any emotion, but she was very rational and knew in her heart that this was much better than Magneto 'Erik method.

In fact, many Mutants also believe that Magneto was too radical.

This is related to Magneto's experience.

In reality, other Mutants don't harbor much hatred towards humans.

Humans are simply afraid of them.

"If it's just you, I can't agree to that."

Mystique, then spoke.

After considering it for a moment, she realized that Li Chen's strength was still too weak.

It's not about combat strength or anything like that.

A fist isn't always effective; what's needed is the strength to support it.

And what about Li Chen's supporters?

Kitty Pryde, Dazzler, Li Qianhuan... they're all kittens; you could say they don't exist.

Li Chen wasn't surprised; Mystique who was quite rational.

So he said, "The White Queen is with me too, is that enough?"

Upon hearing the name Emma Frost, Mystique glanced at him.

She thought only Li Wei was working on this project.

If we had the White Queen's support... that would be enough.

"I'm in."

Mystique, nodded.

"Welcome."

Li Chen clinked glasses with her, then pulled her outside, saying, "I still need to arrange a ceremony for you."

He wanted to make Mystique one of his own.

Mystique knew what was going to happen next, but she still let Li Chen lead her to a nearby five-star hotel.

Only those who were observant enough to notice this scene went completely wild.

In the hotel room, Li Chen pinned Mystique against the wall and kissed her directly.

Raven initially tried to avoid the topic, but quickly responded enthusiastically.

Before long, her expression became somewhat dazed.

I must say, the blonde beauty she transformed into is truly stunning. Her features blend together perfectly, appearing neither too aggressive nor too gentle.

It feels just right.

However, Li Chen didn't know the woman, so he wasn't very involved.

He still prefers people he knows, because that's where he can truly connect with them.

So he said, "Raven, be yourself. I like the real you."

Hearing Li Chen speak so gently yet utter such shocking words, Raven was taken aback.

She looked at Li Chen, trembling; no one had ever treated her like this before.

Even Professor X and Magneto, who had known each other for a long time, were unwilling to see her true appearance.

"Really?"

"More real than diamonds."

Li Chen nodded.

Mystique made up her mind, and her body began to change from the bottom up.

Everything, from her clothes to her skin, turned blue, until her entire body became blue.

She closed her eyes, but Li Chen looked at her as if she were a work of art.

"So beautiful."

Li Chen sighed sincerely.

Raven's skin is very smooth, and blue is not an unpleasant color; on the contrary, it gives people a stimulating feeling.

In addition, her red hair further amplified the clash of these two colors.

Moreover, her transformation even involves changing her clothes, which is quite interesting.

Hearing Li Chen's exclamation, Raven opened her eyes and realized that Li Chen was indeed admiring her.

This made Raven lose control, and she threw herself into Li Chen's arms.

"Dear Lee, Priss!"

She couldn't contain her emotions, and Li Chen didn't hesitate either.

Just like eating, if you're used to Chinese food, it's nice to have a hamburger or something once in a while.

Moreover, Raven is far more precious than Western food.

He then witnessed Raven's madness, as if it had been suppressed for countless years and was now being unleashed on him.

Nashville is considered the mecca of America country music.

Scott Pochettia once thought he wanted freedom, so he left Universal Music and started his own Big Machine Records.

But now, with Starlight Pictures' offer right in front of him, he admits he's tempted.

It turns out he didn't want freedom, but rather the inability to obtain power.

Starlight Pictures was able to give him what he wanted, not only by acquiring his Big Machine Records, but also by making him the head of Starlight Music.

Starlight Pictures acquired MGM.

Although MGM and Columbia Company have been at the bottom of the Hollywood giants since the 1990s.

But even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; it's not something other second- or third-tier companies can easily take advantage of.

Moreover, the recent acquisition battle proved its value.

Regardless, MGM remains a Hollywood giant even after being acquired.

The position of Hollywood giants is difficult to shake, mainly because of the rating system. Only the largest companies can have a place in Hollywood.

This means you can choose to classify your movie as an R-rated film or something similar.

This kind of power is held by giants; smaller companies can only dream of it.

This is why the giants' positions are so stable.

They cut off these controls from above and seized absolute power.

This is why DreamWorks failed in its attempt to become a new giant; both its rating system and distribution channels were blocked by other giants.

When a company needs to be saved by a movie, it's already rotten to the core.

Now, the opportunity to become a member of the giant is right in front of you.

Scott Pochetti smoked several packs of cigarettes that morning before finally making his decision.

"Done!"

His Big Machine Records had few resources at the time, and the only Nova he could boast about was Taylor Swift.

Without a doubt, this is a rising star he discovered; he had already found Taylor Swift when she was only fourteen years old.

Although he was certain Taylor had great potential, what mattered more than being a member of the giant?

Moreover, Starlight Music is also acquiring Big Machine Records, so naturally all the employees and singers will be included in the acquisition.

"Mr. Sloan, I accept your invitation."

Scott Pochetti immediately and enthusiastically called back.

"This will be the right choice. I'll be waiting for you in Hollywood."

Harry Sloan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although for Li Chen, the most important thing was that girl named Taylor.

However, Scott Pochettia, who was able to discover Taylor, also has some ability.

Moreover, Starlight Music lacks professional music talent.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

To demonstrate his abilities, Scott Pochettia even called Taylor Swift, who was recording in her music studio, to come with him to Los Angeles.

Taylor was initially reluctant, but upon hearing that she was going to Los Angeles, she immediately agreed.

She was born in Pennsylvania and grew up on a farm in Wyoming, so naturally she longed to go to a big city.

Nashville, located in Tennessee, is also a relatively underdeveloped area, and her young heart was already beginning to stir with excitement.

So they quickly boarded a plane bound for Los Angeles.
