Chapter 252
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Stella knew very well that Daniel did not pick her because of her acting skills.
She did a good job, but there were a lot of other actresses who could do better than her. They had their fanbase and were more popular than her too. She just did not stand a chance among them.
Daniel had no reason to pick her.
Stella kept quiet for a while before she pursed her lips and said, âBecause Iâm new, not signed by any agency, donât cost a fortune, and can act for a bit. I matched all your criteria for picking a cast, and Iâm the perfect candidate for you to stand against capitalism. You donât have to use anybody you donât like on your own set, and you wonât have to worry about offending any company if anything goes wrong with me.â
Daniel was stunned. He could not remember the last time he worked with a sharp actress like her.
Stellaâs face was just too deceitful. It would always mislead people into thinking that she was just an ignorant woman.
Not only her but many actresses around her age and as beautiful as her were like that too.
They could gain a lot of fans by just looking pretty, and fame came too easily for them. So, they failed to find out their real values and finally made themselves the victims of market. competition.
However, Stella was different from those people. She knew that it was not mere luck that her the role.
She was way smarter than that.
Daniel asked her, âWhy did you still sign the contract if you already knew?â
got Stella said without hiding anything. âI need this job. Besides, I like the script very much too.â A look of approval flashed across Danielâs face, âKelly is why Ibelia got replaced. We got into a disagreement while picking the cast. I had veto power, and I didnât pick the right person. She got unhappy with me, but I wasnât bothered by that. However, Ibelia was caught in some scandals sometime later.â
âAre you saying that Kelly was the one who exposed Ibelia?â
Daniel scoffed. âWho else could it be? Itâs not her first time doing something like this. She would spend a lot of money to expose our competitorâs actors to sabotage their viewership. Also, she would cheat her way into getting the TV station to air her show before her competitors. Thereâs no limit to what she would do if anything stopped her from making money or didnât go her way.â
However, Stella thought otherwise. She figured that even though Kelly was a very goal-driven person, she only wanted money. So, she only got Bella into that show because she wanted the long-term dividend she could earn from social media like Bella.
Even though Ibelia was not as popular as the social media stars, her performance was outstanding. She also had a very good reputation among the viewers before the scandal broke out Ibelia would never be able to achieve something like that if nobody backed her. So, there was just no reason for Kelly to cross someone like her just to change the cast.
âIn short, Kelly is an extremely petty and egotistical person. Thereâs no way sheâd let things. slip after what youâve done to her. Iâm afraid she will do everything she can to put you down if she ever finds out that youâre Dusk Galaxy. Even I wouldnât be able to keep you around if she had anything on you.â
Stella said, âIâm married. Does that count?â
Daniel wanted to roll his eyes. âDo you think youâre in a soap opera? Who cares if youâre married or not?â
âTsk.â Stella clicked her tongue. âMy manager said that I have the face of an idol.â
Daniel knew that Stella was not afraid. She also did not care at all after hearing what he said.
âHow long can you be an idol? Youâve got to give up the idea of being a talentless idol if you want to be in this industry for a long time. An actress is supposed to be good at acting. One can only be popular on social media because of their persona. The more perfect the personâs persona is, the worse sheâll end up if anything goes wrong.â
Everything that Daniel said to Stella since the audition was from the bottom of his heart.
He gave Stella a chance, but he knew he had other intentions too. So, he immediately called her up as soon as he discovered that Kelly was investigating her.
To be honest, he had high expectations for Stella apart from those purposes because he could see the genuineness in her eyes while she was acting.
