Chapter 769 Relenting To The Director
“Let's take the gown she's wearing right now as an example. Originally, the director wanted a higher slit—he
wanted it all the way up to her upper thigh—but Evelyn refused to agree to that. There were two kiss scenes in the
morning, too, but Evelyn was adamant not to film them either. The actor is currently in the break room, waiting to
find out if the scriptwriter is going to make adjustments to the script,” Nikita continued.
After listening to her complaints, Donald glanced at her and asked, “Did you read the contract from Werner
Brothers Studios?”
“I did.”
“Isn't there a clause in the contract stating that they would fully respect Ms. Shabelle's wishes and keep her public
image in mind during shooting?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNikita was stumped by his words.
“Yes, but no one in the entertainment industry can avoid kissing scenes,” she explained.
In a less confident voice, she continued, “Mr. Campbell, Evelyn has the potential, but she's a little too reserved, and
that's why she hasn't been able to rise to fame.”
As a professional manager, Nikita knew there was only one way for female artistes to become popular, and that
was to expose their skin.
That had been done since the seventies and eighties.
Each of the women who skyrocketed to stardom made their way there by taking off their clothes. Every one of
them had a sexy image.
Their popularity was more important than the damage to their reputation and the ensuing public scrutiny that
would come after achieving fame.
The more unblushing the attractive female artistes of the silver screen were, the richer the men they would end up
marrying.
Even though everyone knew that female artistes were only toys to wealthy men, they reckoned they should be fine
as long as they had money.
Everything else did not matter.
That was what Nikita thought as well, so she felt that Evelyn would not go far in the entertainment industry with her
current coy and innocent public image.
As if Donald had read Nikita's mind, he said to her, “I chose Evelyn over Zoey because a female artiste isn't the only
thing our company is cultivating. We're also cultivating Dragon Fide Corporation's spokesperson. If you can't
understand the company's strategy and why we're trying to keep Evelyn's innocent public image, then I don't think
you're that suitable to be her assistant.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNikita panicked in an instant.
“I'm so sorry, Mr. Campbell. I've thought wrongly. I swear I'll do my best to aid Ms. Shabelle from now on,” she said.
Many people thought that being a manager of an artiste was a glorious job.
However, there were risks involved.
Most of the managers were at the bottom of the pyramid. They could not get any gigs for their artistes or provide
them with any professional assistance.
Before Nikita was assigned to Evelyn, she worked with an unpopular artiste for over four years.
Throughout those years, the latter had never been on a proper variety show, let alone had a role in a film.
Hence, there was no way Nikita was going to let go of the golden opportunity to rise to fame overnight when the
company finally transferred her to work with Evelyn, someone the company placed much focus on.
Knowing that his censure was effective, Donald stated unemotionally, “I've never been one who pays attention to
what others say; I've always been one to pay attention to what others do.”
