Entertainment: Starting as a Succubus, Taking Hollywood by Storm

A meticulous and innovative promotional plan, a stellar release strategy, the charisma and draw of the director and cast, top-tier film quality, breathtaking visual effects, and hyper-realistic 3D…

In short, Inception had all the makings of a blockbuster.

A French cinephile raved, "Complex structure, romantic love story—I'm obsessed with this movie."

German fans griped, "That actress Yang Mi got so lucky. How did Martin pick her? I could've played that role!"

In another theater, Liu Yifei, masked up, was tugging her mom toward the parking lot.

"Ugh, what a great film. Such a shame."

"Mom, I don't blame you."

...

Martin's private jet touched down at Milan International Airport.

Amber Heard, stunned, blurted, "When you said you were taking us for pizza, I thought you meant some place in L.A. I didn't expect… straight to Milan, Italy!"

This is the life of the rich, she thought.

Martin chuckled. "Only Italian pizza is the real deal."

Of course, that wasn't the whole story.

PizzAut wasn't a knockoff Pizza Hut. Its name stood for Pizza Autismo—autism.

PizzAut was the world's first pizza project entirely crafted by people with autism.

Contrary to stereotypes, most autistic individuals have normal intelligence, and some are exceptionally gifted. They simply prefer to avoid external interactions, retreating into their own worlds.

The protagonist in The Good Doctor is autistic, after all.

Despite their challenges, autistic people often possess an intense focus, perhaps because of their self-imposed isolation. When they commit to a task, they can outperform others, provided it doesn't require socializing.

Making pizza, clearly, fit the bill.

At PizzAut, they crafted delectable pizzas that won over countless hearts.

And Amber Heard and Tasya van Ree were about to become two more fans.

"Wow, this pizza is incredible—crisp outside, soft inside, with rich cheese that doesn't stick to your teeth."

"I can't believe this was made by people with autism."

After devouring pizza in Milan, Martin took the two women to explore the city's famed shopping district—Piazza del Duomo.

As Milan's cultural and historical heart, Piazza del Duomo was the city's pulsing core.

Its compact size made it perfect for a walking tour, with the grand Milan Cathedral at its center.

Surrounding it were countless shops to keep any shopper busy: high-end fashion brands like Dior, Fendi, Tod's, Givenchy, Bottega Veneta, and sportswear like Nike, alongside fast-fashion staples like H&M.

Beyond shopping, visitors could marvel at historic landmarks—the Cathedral, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, La Scala opera house, and the Sforza Castle.

There were also local-favorite cafés, bars, and restaurants to discover.

"Is this the Renaissance department store flagship?" Tasya van Ree craned her neck to admire the towering gray-white stone building, awestruck. "I'd only heard about it before. They say it's Milan's ultimate one-stop shopping experience, a must-visit."

"But only if you've got the cash," Amber Heard muttered.

Martin laughed. "Come on, let's go in. Buy whatever catches your eye—I've got the bill."

"Whoa, should I start calling you sugar daddy?" Amber teased slyly.

"Sugar daddy" was Hollywood slang for a benefactor, with the "sugar baby" being the one bankrolled.

There was even a secretive private club in Hollywood called the "Sugar Daddy Club," catering to men and women who'd rather not hustle—or who craved youthful companionship—in exchange for financial support.
