John Smith sat across from James Brown. James was so formidable and dismissive towards him, which made John Smith feel that James might indeed be genuinely imposing. To make a film or a TV show, he needed to be on good terms with these wealthy bosses to pull in investments. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to manage it on his own.
First, with a modest smile, John Smith said, "Mr. Brown, forgive my boldness, I know some famous people in YODC City, but I have never met Mr. Brown before. May I ask what kind of business you are in?"
James Brown smiled lightly, "Then you're mistaken, I'm not in business."
"Are you a government official then?"
James Brown's smile grew broader, "That's not it either."
"Then you are..." John Smith was already frowning. Nowadays, if you're not an official or a businessman, you're not considered a big shot.
James Brown lit a cigarette and said, "I'm just a regular employee."
