In the afternoon, at the Holby Hills estate, Richard and Ms. Theron walked side by side into Reeves' manor.
"Hey, Richard, what's wrong? You look so pale."
On the green lawn, Keanu Reeves strode over.
"Nothing, just did a bit more training than usual, need to recover."
Richard shrugged.
"Is that so?"
Reeves hugged him briefly and whispered,
"Richard, take it easy. Don't wear yourself out."
As he said this, he gave Richard's arm a couple o...

### Chapter 179: Women Are a Boxer’s Greatest Enemy
On November 20th, the preliminary round of the WBC Boxing Championship began. Paul returned to New York for the match and won his first fight. After the match, he stayed in New York to train, vowing not to return to Los Angeles until he won the championship belt.
Richard supported this decision, noting that compared to Los Angeles, there were fewer distractions in the Bronx, making it a better place for training—especially fo...

The bar was buzzing that afternoon. On the left side, two muscular men were duking it out in the boxing ring. The surrounding booths were packed, with a crowd of three or four hundred people gathered around the ring, cheering loudly, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
“Hey, Richard, Anthony, over here!” Paul shouted, flashing a toothy grin from a booth in the center.
Richard waved back and turned to Old Hall and Stephen, saying, "Feel free to do as you like; drinks are on t...

"Richard, what kind of role do you play in The Talented Mr. Ripley?" asked the host, Conan, on the set of TNT's talk show in Los Angeles.
"A piano teacher—young, handsome, and refined. A really great guy, just like me," Richard replied with a smirk, lounging on the couch.
"Richard, there you go again, bragging," Jude Law teased.
"Hey, it’s the truth," Richard said, playfully waving his fist. "Do you dare to deny it?"

Richard attended to support Bündchen, who, along with Angela and Ambrosio, was walking the runway for Victoria’s Secret for the first time. Their performances were stellar.
In the fashion world, lingerie shows are the most highly anticipated and widely recognized events, akin to heavyweight matches in boxing. The Victoria’s Secret pla...

"Richard, being a producer involves a lot of work. A single movie project can take two to three years of your time. Take 'Fast & Furious,' for example—from preparation to shooting to release, it’s going to take at least four years. You're a world boxing champion and an actor. Do you really have that much time to do other things?" Neal Moritz said, sipping his tea in his office.

"Richard, good morning."
"Good morning, Tony!"
In the morning, in Youth Park in the Bronx, Richard was wearing a gray sports sweatshirt, jogging briskly towards the morning light.
Along the way, he encountered many familiar faces, mostly elderly people, who stopped to greet him, welcoming the boxing champion who hadn’t been around for a while.
When he met acquaintances, Richard would stop to chat for a few moments. He jogged and paused along the way, taking an...

Roy Jones Jr. lost, which meant Richard’s fight schedule had to be adjusted. Originally, he planned to wait for Roy Jones Jr. to win the IBF-WBO title and then have a unification bout to settle everything in one go. But plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and Roy Jones Jr. lost again.
Now, Richard would have to step into the ring himself and fight the other two titleholders.

After returning to Los Angeles, the crew continued filming the remaining special effects scenes. Richard couldn’t rest either. He spent another week in the studio, finishing up Pitch Black.

"Help!"
On set, during filming, a little girl from the group of survivors was being attacked by a monster.
Due to budget constraints, the special effects were kept minimal. The "monster" was merely a prop model, with a prop master continuously shaking it to simulate the attack on the little girl.
"Let her go!"
Caroline, holding a torch, kept driving the monster away, as the creatures on this planet were afraid of light.
Nearby, Richard removed his sunglass...

The air was crisp and slightly cool, mingled with a faint scent of decay—not strong, but still enough to make one frown. Unlike the hot and dry climate of Los Angeles, autumn had already arrived on the streets of New York.

The success of "Iron Man" was just the beginning. At that time, Disney had not yet fully figured out the formula and was still experimenting. This is why Robert Downey Jr.'s final paycheck for "Iron Man 3," after box office bonuses, reached $50 million—an all-time high for an actor, and one of the last instances of such a massive payday.
This marked a true turning point.

Edgar was finding it a bit difficult.
In fact, those flamboyant lies, spoken on a whim, are often easier because they don't require much thought. He could draw from movies, novels, or other templates from life. As an agent, he had long been exposed to the classic tactics of persuasion used by other top agents at William Morris to impress actors. Copying and pasting such lines would make them sound very polished and extravagant.
