On that day, after Catherine finished training, Ike took her to the villa in Acadia City. During this period, Ike had been stuck with Catherine and felt a little reluctant to stop. Of course Theron didn't know that she was still filming.

**'s power is huge, and it can sometimes easily break the moral defense line. Frankly speaking, he loves Theron, but he also loves Catherine. He loves every woman who has a skinny relationship with him

"What to eat tonight?" Catherine asked after she got into the car.

"I'll make some Chinese food for you." Ike said with a smile.

"Okay," said Catherine, "I've been dancing all day, and I'm hungry and tired."

"Haha." Ike smiled, "I know it's not easy to shoot a singing and dancing movie. But you're really good at dancing."

"Thank you." Catherine said while rubbing her legs.

Ike looked at her and said, "After a while, you can bubble it in hot bath water to relieve your fatigue and give you a massage."

"Oh, is this extra care for me?" Katherine said looking at Ike, her upturned lips smiling.

Ike glanced at her and shrugged, "It's time for the director to take care of the actors."

"Then you're taking care of it so comprehensively." Catherine smiled pursed.

"I just want to take care of you in all aspects and three-dimensional ways." Ike said.

"Go to yours." Catherine angrily.

After arriving at the villa, while Catherine was taking a bath, Ike disguised himself and ran to the nearby Chinese community to buy vegetables. He wanted to make a hot pot for Catherine, but Catherine had never eaten it. Hot pot not only prevents cold and keeps warm, but also has a lot of dishes. Of course, he did not buy a lot of meat. After all, Catherine needs to maintain a body shape. It is convenient to make hot pot, and it is enough to have the base ingredients. There are basic ingredients in Chinese supermarkets. Although it is not as authentic as domestic ones, it is still OK to just taste it.

This supermarket called "China" has many types, ranging from food, fun and daily necessities. Ike carefully selected it with a mask and a baseball cap. This time he came here mainly to buy food. Of course, he also revolved around other small commodities.

The small commodity 80 here is marked with the words "Made in China". Ike nodded. How much Chinese commodities have reduced the cost of living for Americans? It's amazing.

Ike picked up the food he needed and walked to the supermarket exit to check out. The person in charge of checking out was a Chinese girl. While lighting the things Ike selected, she looked at Ike's eyes from time to time. At this time, Ike subconsciously pressed the brim of the hat down.

The girl said.

Ike didn't say anything, he took out a card from his pocket to check out. After paying the bill, the girl skillfully wrapped Ike's things and politely said to him, "Welcome next time."

Ike nodded to her, picked up the thing, and quickly left the supermarket. He didn't want to be recognized here, especially in the "Chinese" community, where everyone would definitely surround him.

When Ike arrived home, Katherine had finished taking a bath. She was wearing a bathrobe and her hair wrapped around her, watching TV in the living room.

"I'll make you a hot pot)." Ike took off his coat, took off his hat and mask, and walked towards the kitchen as he spoke.

"?" Katherine stood up in confusion and followed Ike to the kitchen, "Well... are we British food?"

Ke stopped what he was doing and thought about it. "Hotpot" is a purely oriental noun that many foreigners don't understand. And the more direct translation. This translation was later included in Wikipedia. The more official translation also translated Chinese hotpot into.

If you talk about this word with foreigners who have lived in China, they should generally know it is hot pot, but if they talk to foreigners abroad, they may have misunderstandings. There is a traditional dish in the UK called lanre, which is stewed with meat, vegetables and potatoes. They generally think it is that dish.

"Oh, I'm not the same as your British one, in fact, there is something in foreign countries that is more similar to our hot pot, called fondue. This word comes from the past tense fondu of the French word fondre, which means "melted". If you are a foreigner who has never been to China, just say chinese-fondue, they can generally imagine what it is.

"You can understand it as chinese-fonduke explained. Now Catherine understood a little, she knew it was the kind of soup.

"I'll have to taste the taste in the future." Catherine said with a smile.

"It'll be fine in a while."

The hot pot is very good. Ike put the induction cooker on the table in the restaurant, put the cut dishes on a plate, and placed neatly beside it. Pour water into the solenoid cooker and put the base material on it. The small ingredients Ike prepared was sesame sauce. Catherine didn't know how to use chopsticks, and it could be said that she was not skilled in using it. But this did not affect it, and it was the same with a fork. It just didn't look so elegant. But it didn't matter if it was only the two of them.

While stirring the dishes placed in the hot pot with chopsticks, Ike said to Catherine, "You actors have been training together during this period and they have a happy cooperation."

"Of course." Catherine replied, and she stirred it in the pot with a fork.

"It'll be fine in a while." Ike said, handing the sauce to Catherine, "You may not have eaten this before. This is the seasoning, and the food will be eaten in a while."

Catherine used a fork to stir up the sticky sesame sauce, curled her lips, and then leaned over to smell it. "It seems to be quite fragrant."

Ike looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, it tastes good."

"It seems that Japanese cuisine also needs to be eaten with a sauce," said Catherine.

At this time, the first batch of meat and vegetables that were put in were ready. Ike picked up some with another chopstick and asked, "Are you not a vegetarian?"

"no."

Upon hearing this answer, Ike put the meat and vegetables in Catherine's bowl, "Release it for a little bit, it's a little hot."

Katherine might be really hungry, so she picked it up with a fork and put it in her mouth. It seemed that it tasted pretty good."

Ike nodded, "Just like it."

"Talk about diet," Katherine said after taking a sip, "Chinese people are really great."

"'Food is the most important thing for the people' This is China... The root of the country. Emperors of all generations must do this if they want to rule the country well. Therefore, China's diet is definitely first-class in the world, because this matter has been studied for thousands of years." Ike explained while eating.

"Interesting." Catherine said with a smile, "will a diet have such a big impact?"

"Haha, in fact, this is exactly the difference between Chinese and British people." Ike continued.

"How to say it?"

"When the Chinese were studying delicious food, the British were studying aircraft and guns," Ike paused.

"How was the result?" Katherine listened with interest.

"The result was that the study of aircraft and guns colonized the entire world, and the study of delicious food was colonized." Ike said, shaking his head.

Katherine nodded as she heard this, "It seems to make some sense."

"But until now, delicious food can still assimilate aircraft and guns..." Ike said meaningfully.

"I suspect you're not studying movies in college," said Catherine.

"Oh? How do you say it?" Ike asked.

"What you learned is probably philosophy."

"Haha." Both of them laughed

The two of them just ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. "How is Natalie's dance?" Ike suddenly asked.

What do you mean? Is that okay?" Katherine said.

"Tell the truth." Ike asked seriously.

Katherine thought about it and said, she needed more training.”

Ike nodded and said, "She is still young, you guys take care of her more."

Hearing Ike say this, Catherine put down the fork in her hand, "You care about her very much."

"Haha." Ike shook his head, "I just hope that we are a united and happy team."

Katherine lowered her head and was silent for a while, then said, "What do you mean?"

"You understand what I mean, I want to thank Jackman, too." Ike said, his appearance was very serious.

Catherine stopped talking, silently picked up the drink on the dining table and took a sip

In fact, Ike and Catherine talked about these things just because they hoped that the cast members would remain united, because he vaguely felt that many people didn’t like Natalie very much. This may be due to her own reasons and other people’s reasons. However, as a director, he must make the entire crew work smoothly. Unity is very important, even if there are some conflicts, it cannot affect the work. So, with this sign, he will of course click on it kindly. Of course, he will also draw opportunities to talk to Natalie.

As the days of the 72nd Oscars are getting closer, Ike is also sitting in his final preparations. On this day, David Aye from the script department asked him, David Aye to compete for the best original script for this Oscar. This shows that his screenwriter level has been favored by the Oscar judges, which is a very difficult thing.

"How do you feel now when you first participated in the Oscar?" After Ike saw David Aye, he asked him to sit down and then asked with a smile.

"It's very exciting." David sat down and shrugged his shoulders "but more nervous."

"Don't be so nervous, just go to a high-end party." Ike smiled and handed David a cup of coffee.

"What do you seem to be holding?" Ike saw a briefcase next to David. He knew that employees in the company usually do not take briefcases when they go to his office.

"Oh, look at me, I almost forgot." David put down his coffee, took out a stack of ordered paper from his briefcase, and handed it to Ike. "This is a newly written script with several people in the script department. Do you see if there is any possibility of it being brought to the screen."

"Is there a new script so soon?" Ike was stunned. He then took the script with a smile, thinking that the script seemed to be very correct.

After Ike took over the script, he glanced at the name of the script - "Fast and Furious", and immediately recalled the movie in his mind.

Historically, this movie is a series, and the screenwriter is David Aye. "Fast and Furious" is a European and American series with racing themes. Its title points out two major elements of this type of movie: the passion of various famous sports cars flying on the road, and the experience of the extreme speed of more than 200km/h. Since the first episode of the "Fast and Furious" series, it has cultivated a large number of enthusiastic fans who have accompanied the protagonists in the drama for 10 years. "Fast and Furious 4" released in 2009 has swept the box office of $350 million worldwide. Director Lin Yibin also became a new Chinese director in Hollywood with the hot sale of the series.

It seems that the script was completed in early 2000. Ike lowered his head and flipped through "Fast and Furious", while watching it while nodding constantly. Judging from the script alone, it shows that David's screenwriter is mature.

This is definitely a good series to make money. Ike looked through it for a while, then looked up at David again, then he put the script on his desk and said with a smile, "Good and good."

The boss's two "very good" gave David a lot of confidence. He stood up and walked to Ike and said, "If I can move it onto the big screen, I can make some changes as you need."

Ike smiled and shook his head, "No, I trust you very much. I haven't finished reading this script yet, but it's interesting in terms of creativity."

"Really?" David asked.

"You should have enough confidence in yourself. You are now a screenwriter with a box office of over $100 million and was shortlisted for the Oscar. Frankly speaking, you are higher than mine in terms of screenwriter level." Ike said to David.

"Oh, God." David touched his forehead, "Thank you so much for saying that."

"I'm telling the truth." Ike put his hand on his desk and tapped it. After a while, he said, and finished the script in full. If possible, the company will immediately launch a project and try to move it to the big screen as soon as possible."

David couldn't even speak, what else could he say? He had never met such a straightforward boss before, okay." He held it in for a long time and said this.

"Haha" Ike stood up and patted David on the shoulder, "It would be great that 3D company can have a screenwriter like you."

In this way, another good movie was added to the shooting plan of 3D.
