#27 Take Care of My Sister
Afterward, with investment from Unreal Entertainment and Matthias Engel, the first Pirates of the Caribbean film officially entered its pre-production phase.
The script and screenwriter were ready, and next was the production team.
Kevin would find the production team, but he was a bit uneasy about the special effects team, so he consulted Matthias Engel.
Matthias Engel told Kevin to leave the special effects production to his team, guaranteeing that they would create high-quality special effects visuals.
With the Game Producer System's support, creating movie special effects was very simple and incredibly realistic, so there was no need to worry about that, and it would save a lot of money.
Next was the casting, which was the most crucial part.
A week passed, and the roles still hadn't been finalized.
Especially the main character, Captain Jack, who was the soul of the entire movie—where could they find an actor like Johnny Depp?
This was a very headache-inducing problem.
Just as he was pondering the actor roles, there was a knock at the door.
"Matthias, open the door."
He recognized the voice immediately; it was his landlady, Lena Morgen.
Opening the door, Lena Morgen was brushing her teeth: "Matthias, you haven't paid rent in three months."
Lena Morgen was wearing pajamas, still sleepy, with long, wavy blonde hair in a European-American style.
Matthias Engel slapped his forehead; he had been so busy lately that he almost forgot about the rent.
Previously, due to debt, he had sold all his assets, and in the end, he still lived in Lena Morgen's apartment.
She owned several apartments, all connected, making her a small heiress.
Additionally, she also ran an artist management company called Xinyue Media, providing resources and services to artists, though her signed artists were mostly third-tier and unknown.
Their relationship had always been good; they had collaborated when he was the CEO of GG Company.
At that time, he had invited artists from her company to endorse games and participate in promotional activities.
"I'll transfer you the rent for these three months, plus the next half year," Matthias Engel said.
Lena Morgen was a little surprised: "You actually have money now? Where did you get it from?"
"I stole it from the bank," Matthias Engel said, exasperated.
"You? Be careful not to get shot by the police. If you're short on money, just use it yourself for now. The main reason I knocked was to tell you that my sister is coming over at noon today. She'll be staying in the apartment next door for a while, but I have things to do at my company, so can you help me pick her up and take her out for something good to eat?"
"Your sister?"
"My biological sister, Leni Morgen. She just graduated from university. I'm having her intern at our artist management company later."
"I'm very busy too, you know~"
"You?" Lena Morgen poked her head into the room: "You're practically dying of boredom. It's a good chance to go out and relax. Remember, don't get any ideas about my sister; she's just starting out in society."
After saying that, Lena Morgen didn't wait for Matthias Engel's reply and went to the bathroom.
Soon after, Lena Morgen was seen leaving with several large bags, and before she left, she reminded Matthias Engel to take good care of her sister.
He checked the time; it was already past nine o'clock.
Matthias Engel went to the garage, got into his small car that had been with him for many years, and headed to the train station.
After all, he had been living at her place for so long, so helping to pick up her sister was no problem.
Besides, Lena Morgen always thought he was very idle? Was he really idle?
He had been so busy lately that his back was almost unable to straighten.
Arriving at the exit, he checked the time; there were still over thirty minutes.
So he found a chair and sat down to rest for a while.
A few college students nearby were discussing Pirates of the Caribbean, all arguing heatedly.
"Pirates are the strongest! The second-tier Duelist crushes everything!"
"Soldiers are amazing! The second-tier Elite Warrior has both offense and defense!"
"What you're saying is wrong!"
"What you're saying is wrong! Disagree? Let's go back and duel a couple of rounds!"
"Alright, who's afraid of whom!"
Matthias Engel's lips curved slightly; his game was already becoming a national phenomenon, with players discussing it everywhere.
Whether on PC or game consoles, this game could be played.
The main reason was its excellent optimization; even at the lowest settings, it was compatible with any machine on the market, and even at its lowest visuals, it surpassed other games.
Wearing headphones, Matthias Engel drifted off to sleep.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he was woken by an urgent phone ring.
Matthias Engel immediately picked up the phone: "Hello, who is it?"
"It's me, Lena Morgen. I told you to pick up my sister, where are you?"
"I'm at the airport."
Matthias Engel slapped his forehead: "Sorry, I fell asleep just now. Where is your sister now?"
"She's at the exit. Hurry up and go check."
"Alright, I'm on my way."
Hanging up the phone, Matthias Engel started looking around, and soon he spotted a pretty figure.
Wearing a light dress and a white hat, he recognized her at a glance; she looked too much like Lena Morgen.
"Are you Leni?" Matthias Engel asked.
Leni nodded: "That's me. You must be Uncle Matthias Engel."
"Uncle? I'm the same age as your sister, just call me 'Brother'."
"Okay, Brother Matthias. Are we going to my sister's apartment next?"
"Your sister told me to take you to eat first. There's nothing to do back home, and your sister is busy at the company, not at home."
"Oh~~ I'm a bit hungry too."
Matthias Engel helped Leni with her luggage, put it in the trunk, and then drove towards a nearby mall.
"What do you like to eat?"
"I'm fine with anything. How about fondue?" Leni showed an expectant expression.
"Then let's go for fondue."
The two arrived at a fondue restaurant in the mall. Since neither of them ate spicy food, they ordered a cheese-based fondue.
"Your sister said you just graduated from university?"
"Mhm, mhm. I plan to intern at my sister's media company. I want to start as a talent streamer first."
The moment Leni took off her hat, Matthias Engel paused slightly.
She was in her early twenties, exquisitely beautiful, with a somewhat European-American look.
"Has anyone ever told you that both you and your sister look like foreigners?"
"Because our mother is foreign, both my sister and I are mixed-race. People say that often, I'm used to it."
Leni stuck out her tongue.
"I see. I've known your sister for so long, and she never mentioned this to me. I always thought she just liked European-American style makeup."
"Haha~~ Are all guys blind?"
"Not really."
Matthias Engel shrugged, putting meat rolls and vegetables into the bubbling fondue.
Looking at Leni again, Matthias Engel felt...
"So similar," Matthias Engel murmured, staring at Leni.
"What's so similar?"
"Have you ever played Pirates of the Caribbean?"
"Uh, no, but I heard that game is very popular now."
"That's right. There's a female NPC in it named Elizabeth, and you look a lot like that NPC."
"Really? Then you must be a loyal fan of this game, remembering an NPC's appearance so clearly."
"Naturally, I've been a Pirates of the Caribbean fan for ten years."
