[Chapter 162: The Three Visitors from Japan]
Back at the estate, Linton began thinking about his next movie. After the July release of Speed, his popularity would skyrocket, and he should finally be able to break into the ranks of superstars.
But his purpose of making movies, singing, and being a star was still to develop his Starlight Spark ability. He knew he couldn't slack off. He had to keep releasing great works, so the audience would remember, talk about, and even idolize him, generating strong emotions that would help his cultivation.
So he always chose songs that were easy to sing along with and that attracted fans immediately. The movies he made had to top the box office, first and foremost to attract fans.
He was destined never to make art films for the sake of the Oscars. Instead, he only made commercial movies with a charismatic male lead, someone with a strong personality and unique charm, naturally possessing idol-like qualities that could attract widespread popularity.
Movies like Mission: Impossible, The Matrix, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, National Treasure, Wanted, and The Man from Nowhere all fit the criteria. But considering simplicity in filming and low special effects requirements, The Man from Nowhere was the most suitable to film next.
So he spent two days writing the script for The Man from Nowhere. However, since the original movie was Korean, many dialogues and street-life details needed to be localized to America of this time.
After Mira registered the copyright, they handed the script to the writing department for script doctors to revise and improve.

Sophie Marceau and Cristiana Reali also bought neighboring villas in the Silverlake community beneath Beverly Hills.
Silverlake was a high-end gated community delivered just last year, with tight security management and frequent LAPD patrols, making it very safe.
The landscaping and property management were excellent, so the housing prices were quite steep. Their villas were about 4,300 square feet, two stories tall, featuring a grand double-height living room, six bedrooms, and five bathrooms. Each villa was sold for around $950,000.
The villas came fully furnished and ready to move in. But neither of them had moved, only adding or replacing furniture to suit their tastes.
They still lived at the estate, spending their days refining scripts, working out with Linton when tired, swimming, playing ball, and enjoying carefree nights playing card games, living a very pleasant life.
...
That day, while Linton was swimming and playing in the pool with Sophie and Cristiana, his assistant Meena handed him a phone on the shore.
"Honey, we're in Los Angeles now," said the excited voice of Sukato Matsushita on the line.
"Linton, I miss you," added Izumi Sakai and Noriko Sakai from beside her.
"Where are you now?" Linton felt a warm feeling thinking of the three.
"We're at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel. When are you free to come over?"
"Alright, don't go wandering the hotel. I'll be there right away."
Putting down the phone, Linton apologized to Sophie and Cristiana, "Darling, I have to go out. Three good friends from Japan have come. You guys play on your own."
"Are they close friends?" Sophie, overhearing the call, asked curiously.
"Not sure yet, but I won't be back tonight."
"Why not invite them to the house tonight?"
"Sweetheart, inviting someone to the house is a sign of status and acceptance. They haven't reached that level yet. Let's not talk about it now. You two keep playing; I have to go."
"Wait, give me a kiss before I go," Linton said, which made Sophie and Cristiana happy. They gave him kisses before he left.

In the Four Seasons presidential suite, Sukato Matsushita, Izumi Sakai, and Noriko Sakai excitedly packed, waiting for Linton's arrival.
"Sister, do you think Linton will be upset that we came without giving him a heads-up?" Noriko Sakai asked nervously.
"This is a surprise for him. Besides, don't you miss him?"
"Of course, I think about him every day."
"Well then! If we waited for him to come find us, who knows how long it would be. Also, remember, when he arrives, I want to be the first to... you know. No fighting over it."
"Are you not embarrassed to say that out loud?"
"Look at you guys, shy but secretly dying inside."
Just then, the doorbell rang while the three women were playfully teasing each other.
Sukato Matsushita dashed forward and opened the door first.
...
As soon as Linton entered, a soft body embraced him fiercely, accompanied by passionate kisses.
He closed the door with his foot, then lifted the beauty in his arms. Looking up, he saw Izumi Sakai and Noriko Sakai shyly watching nearby.
He freed a hand, hugging each of them briefly. "Let's go inside and make the most of our time."
Soon, joyful, sweet singing soon filled the room...
...
What surprised Linton was that during the joint training, he discovered Izumi Sakai and Noriko Sakai's popularity was unexpectedly high, almost on par with Sophie Marceau.
Their recent development exceeded his expectations. Should he invite them into his inner circle?
Originally, he hadn't thought about this, but now with their recent surge in popularity and that they came all the way here to bring him warmth, Linton was a bit hesitant.
After all, Sukato Matsushita wasn't from the entertainment circle. As a socialite, she might have some reputation in her small circle, but it didn't help him much.
Still, the experience she brought was fantastic, far superior to the other two.
The problem was her status made things more complicated.
Forget it, let's not worry about it for now, this is more important. . . . . .
...
Three hours later, the first stage of their intimate encounter ended.
"Sweethearts, why did you come without telling me?" Linton finally had time to ask.
"Linton, we missed you so much," Izumi Sakai and Noriko Sakai answered softly together.
"Honey, we haven't seen each other in so long. Didn't you miss us? We couldn't wait any longer. Luckily, all three of us were free. Also, I saw on the news that you finished filming a movie recently and acquired a film company. I guessed you'd be in Los Angeles, so we came straight here. Surprise!" Sukato Matsushita announced like the big sister.
"Of course, it's a surprise. I missed you too. I planned to come to Japan for movie promotion at the end of July to reunite, but you came early. That's really great."
"So how are you going to reward me?"
"What kind of reward?"
"Stay with us for a whole week, okay?"
"Absolutely." Linton was deeply touched and responded happily.
