Chapter 160

Stella was shocked. ‘There were rumors that Bella was cast as the female lead of this drama. Or was that not confirmed?’

Felicity was confused too. She heard the rumor from a group chat when a few people shared it.” Some said Bella was going to act in Daniel’s drama. Yet it was nothing after such a big fuss! Come to think of it, she was probably hyping it on her own and setting off the atmosphere. If she’s not selected in the end, her fans will blame the production crew And she’ll gain another wave of popularity. What a great tactic!’

Daniel pursed his lips after hearing who Kelly had recommended. “I’ve seen her work before”

Kelly was delighted. “What do you think of her? If you think she’s alright, I could contact her to come over immediately ”

Daniel replied coolly, “It’s all techniques.”

Kelly thought Daniel was complimenting Bella until she heard him speak again “She has no emotions.

Her eyes were not even red after her tears were flowing No matter how dense Kelly was, she understood Daniel was being sarcastic Kelly could not stand the embarrassment Another assistant director stepped up to smooth things over “Well, it’s an idol drama. It was for the fans. Maybe she didn’t even use her full potential.”

Daniel raised his eyebrow. “She depends on her fans to support herself, yet she produces such trash for the fans and slacks off on her job?”

That assistant director choked on his laugh and stopped talking. Daniel was famous for his sharp tongue in this industry, but his shows were all top-tier Therefore, even if his words often offended people, many people were still willing to collaborate with him. Daniel’s name ensured quality. All the dramas he directed were hits.

Kelly was different. Her scripts focused on the capital market. She would hire celebrities to play her drama. During the drama’s broadcast, she would spend a lot to promote and aim for the fans’ money.

It’s the nature of humans to start gaining fame after having enough money. The highest rating of the dramas Kelly produced were all not more than 5, and an average of 3.5 on a well- known domestic website. The quality of her dramas was horrible, even though she shot idol dramas.

Therefore, the netizens gave her the name Queen of Horrible Dramas. Kelly was eager to get rid of that label. So, her husband spent a lot of money on this drama to get her the position of assistant director.

She thought everyone would give ground to her, and she would still have the highest authority in the production crew as usual. She never thought Daniel would make her look bad and reject all her suggestions. He even put her on the spot in front of everyone. Kelly hated his guts.

She held back her displeasure and asked, “If Director Wood has already decided, why bother asking us to come here?”

Her underlying intent was to accuse Daniel of laying down the law. He was overbearing and dictatorial.

Daniel glanced at her. “If I didn’t call you over and watch the signing in person, how can I be sure that someone else would not use their power to secretly switch my actress out?”

The crowd looked at one another after Daniel made this statement. Kelly had a ghastly expression. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

“She’s the one.” Daniel paused and asked Felicity, who was watching over Stella’s shoulder. ” Are you her manager? Which company are you from?”

“I’m from Bona Film. I’m kind of her manager now,” Felicity answered.

“Kind of?”

Stella explained, “I have yet to sign a managing company.”

Daniel was quite surprised. But he could more or less understand her situation as he remembered she had the same occupation as Robin.

“Go get yourself an assistant, so you’ll have someone to help you run errands during the production.

Don’t delay the shooting process because of this.”

Stella was thrilled, but she managed to keep a straight face and replied, “Understood.”

Kelly did not want to stay any longer. While Stella read through the contract, Kelly left and slammed the door behind her.
