Chapter 2683
Anyone who had a brain knew what Helios was trying to say.
‘Roxy is able to make a debut using Daisie’s fame. Doesn’t this mean that Daisie really has
a lot of influence in the industry?’
Roxy only understood the undertone of what he had said after a while, and she tightened
her grip on the wine glass.
‘If Daisie didn’t have such a background as the daughter of the Goldmanns, how could she
climb to where she is today?
‘If I also had the same background, would I even need to be here listening to all these
cynical remarks that are being thrown at me?
‘God is just so unfair. Some people are destined to start at the peak of a mountain when
they’re born. They don’t have to fight for what they want, and all they need to do is to reach
out, and they’ll get what they want at once.’
“By the way, Mr. Winslow, I heard that you’re planning to start shooting a movie and are still
casting actors and actresses?”
After hearing Roland’s question, everyone saw through his thoughts instantly.
‘He would actually go to this extent just to get his relative’s niece some resources?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDonny put his wine glass down on the table. “Indeed.”
Roland immediately asked with a smile, “Then can you see if there’s any role that suits
Roxy? Perhaps you can give her a chance at the tryout?”
Donny asked, “Has she been in any movies before this?”
This question stumped Roland. “No, she’s still a rookie in the industry. That’s why I want her
to hone her skills. I don’t mind if it’s just an insignificant character that will only appear in a
few shots.”
Before Donny could say anything, Freyja had already spoken. “Would she be willing to play
an NPC?”
Roland was stunned for a moment. “A what? NPC?”
Freyja smirked. “Oh, it’s short for non-player characters, for example, a dead body or a
bartender in the movie. She’ll get a few shots, but not too many of them.”
How could Roxy accept the role willingly after hearing that she would be cast to play a
corpse?
“I just made my debut, and the first thing that I’m being asked to play is a corpse? Just how
unlucky is that?”
Roland took a glance at Freyja. “Who is this?”
Donny introduced, “She’s the screenwriter of our crew. The storyline of my new movie
originates from the adaptation of her script.”
When Roxy heard that Freyja was just a screenwriter, she looked down on her from the
bottom of her heart. “Director Winslow, your screenwriter seems to be trying to embarrass
me in public, doesn’t she?”
‘This sl*t is only a screenwriter. How dare she ask me to play a corpse in front of so many
people!?’
Freyja knew that she would reject the offer, so she scoffed. “That’s right. That face of yours
doesn’t really fit the role of a corpse.”
The two artists who stood the closest to them burst into chuckles.
‘Mr. Boucher’s connotation earlier was already rather obvious, but this lady is even more
savage.’
Roxy understood what she meant almost instantly, and her expression changed slightly.
“You’re just a petty screenwriter. Are you even in the position to decide what I get to play?”
Everyone present fell silent.
Roland’s expression dimmed. He then turned around and reprimanded her, “Is this the
attitude that you should have?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoxy was furious.
‘I was only telling the truth.’
Roland had to smooth things over for Roxy. “I’m really sorry. She can be rather impulsive
from time to time, so please don’t mind her.”
Freyja added mercilessly, “I really can’t bother to work with an artist who lacks virtue.”
Seeing that she did not even show him a tad bit of respect, Roland was a little displeased.
“Miss, although you’re a screenwriter, it’s a bit too much for you to say that. You could be
ruining your own career here.”
‘She’s just a screenwriter that Mr. Winslow thinks highly of. She’s not even very well-known
yet, and she’s already acting so arrogantly. It seems that this lady doesn’t really understand
the underlying rules of this circle.’
Freyja chuckled, and she was furious. “I’m not planning to ask you for investment in the
movie, so why should I sweet talk you? Plus, there’s no need for you to threaten me either.”
Roland’s expression gradually turned into one of embarrassment, and the people on the
side stood up to persuade him, but Roland ignored all of them. “We’re all in the same
industry, so our paths will eventually cross someday in the future. I strongly advise you to
speak more tactfully when it comes to socializing with the people in the entertainment
industry.”
“However, you’re not the one who decides what happens in the entertainment industry. Am
I right, Mr. Goldwin?”
