Chapter 1772
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Vermont turned to the scriptwriter, Devin Booker, and said,â Sheâs just talking nonsense. Please donât mind her.â
Devin knew that Vermont was trying to smooth things over for Felicity after her inappropriate question, so he smiled and said, âYour girlfriend is pretty interesting.â
Vermont patted Felicityâs head and said lovingly, âSheâs also really strong. She can fight three guys without any trouble.â
This surprised Devin.
Felicity didnât get the answer she wanted and pushed, âMr. Booker, do you really need to film those sensual scenes? Can a movie win awards without them?â
Devin had no idea how to answer Felicityâs question. After thinking for a bit, he said, âSome stories need physical actions to show how feelings change.â
Felicity, who had had a bit too much to drink, found that funny. âWho watches those scenes for emotions? People just stare at the womanâs breasts or the manâs butt.â
âPfft-â
Devin spurted out the water he was drinking.
Vermont was left utterly speechless.
âI shouldnât have let her drink!â Vermont thought to himself.
Felicity went on, âTheyâre just using these things to grab attention. They know why folks watch their movies. If thatâs all they want, they should just make adult films. Why use the name âart filmâ? Every time I hear âart filmâ now, l-Ugh-â
Vermont covered her mouth. âBaby, drink some tea and have something to eat.â
Felicity pushed his hand away. âIâm not⦠hungryâ¦â
Devin chuckled and gestured, âLet her be. Thereâs no one else around. She can say whatever she wants.â
Vermont sighed. âI shouldnât have opened that wine bottle.â
Devin remarked, âSheâs really adorable. When you came with her, I thought you were introducing me to a new actress. I didnât expect her to be a fellow scriptwriter.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

Then he turned to Felicity, asking, âWhich show did you write the script for?â
But Felicity, being drunk, couldnât recall any titles.
So, Vermont added, âShe hasnât got any credited shows that aired. She used to ghostwrite at Royal Deluxe Entertainment without getting any credit.â
Devin quickly grasped Felicityâs situation.
Establishing connections in the industry was crucial.
Knowing the right people could make or break a scriptwriterâs success, even if their skills werenât top-
notch. Without connections, even a brilliant writer might only end up ghostwriting.
Vermont mentioned a few shows Felicity had written, surprising Devin. These shows had solid reputations.
Though their viewership might not have been as high as others during their release, they received excellent feedback on various online platforms.
Achieving such results required a good script, coupled with the production teamâs expertise and the actorsâ skills.
Felicity had been a ghostwriter for years and had a deep understanding of market trends. She knew audience preferences and how to write across different genres. Thatâs why after she left Royal Deluxe Entertainment, finding someone suitable for her role became a tough challenge for the company.
A scriptwriter of her caliber wouldnât settle for the salary offered, and notably, she was an easy target for criticism. Despite years of being denied credit for her work, she didnât dare to speak up about it.
Outside of work, Felicity was incredibly brave, always there for her friends. But professionally, she lived like many others her age â toiling away as a struggling worker, i She avoided confrontation whenever possible and was often fed false promises by her bosses. After being deceived for so long, she started doubting her own abilities.
As Devin heard Vermont recount Felicityâs accomplishments, he couldnât help but laugh, suggesting,â
Why not bring her on board officially? Buy her scripts and turn them into movies. Iâm certain you could turn them into blockbusters with your capabilities.â
