Chapter 434

“Well, not necessarily.” Lola seemed to be aware of the recent events at Lindberg Corporation, “But, Mr. Lindberg is really under a lot of public pressure. If he doesn’t marry Penelope, he might be slammed as heartless.”

Allison didn’t respond. Lola thought she didn’t know, so she continued, “Those entertainment media will do anything for hype. They’ll use eye-catching headlines to draw attention. Even if Lindberg Corporation steps in for PR, and issues an apology the next day and removes the news, the buzz has already been created, and the rumors have spread for long enough. Big media outlets might hold back because they fear Lindberg Corporation’s influence. But the smaller ones won’t. Those low-grade, crappy reporters are like ants. They’re small, but there are a ton of them. Once they swarm, they’re hard to deal with. When you control one batch of ants, another crops up.”

“Lola, you know a lot.” Allison said.

Lola sighed, “My sister is an entertainment reporter. Her company is a second-tier media outlet. Her editor is all about chasing the heat, since he thought spreading rumors wouldn’t really hurt anyone.

They’re all in it for the money. My sister says big media is easy to deal with, but when small outlets band together, they can be vicious.”

Allison was silent.

Lola crouched down, “Allison, do you like Mr. Lindberg? If you’re not that into him, why not use him while you’re young? To get what you need, then move on. I think Charlie’s plan is not bad. Once you’re famous, you can make money. No one gets into show business for charity. You use Mr. Lindberg to get better resources, and it’s mutual exploitation. If he gets married, so be it. A woman can live without a man. You’re young, and your career is more important.”

Allison lowered her head slightly. She looked at Lola’s face, reached out her hand, gently pinched it, and smiled, “You’re right. Who he likes and marries, it’s none of my business. We’re just using each other.”

Yeah, just using each other.

A twenty-something girl saw through it, yet she was deeply involved. Allison clenched her hand tightly.

“This is a new show the company is going to shoot soon, Mr. Lindberg said it’s all up to you.” Patty said and handed her a few synopses.

Allison was somewhat surprised. She thought she would be ‘arranged, but didn’t expect Lucian to let her choose.

Allison looked at Patty carefully, “This show is directed by one of our regular collaborators. He is good at controlling the overall plot. The investment is not big, but the content is good.”

Allison glanced at it. It was a comedy.

Patty said, “This one is also good, a college campus drama with an e-sports theme, which is one of the hottest topics in recent years. The director and scriptwriter have worked with us before. And this one…”

Out of more than a dozen scripts, Patty picked out three.

She said, “These three will start shooting next month, which is twenty days from now. During this time, you can take a break. I will arrange some promotional ads and magazine shoots for you. Also I will have someone manage your Twitter.”

Allison completed all the shooting tasks on the weekend and posted photos of the completed shoot on Twitter.

The main characters of this film were all newcomers. Allison’s part was not big. Cathy spent most of the time shooting Sadie’s part. She only shot about ten scenes for Allison, most of her scenes shot by Mr.

Simonds.

Olivia finished all her shooting tasks, and the crew ordered a cake to celebrate.

The photographer said, “Mr. Simonds, put your hand on Allison’s shoulder. Don’t look too distant.”

Mr. Simonds put his arm around Allison’s shoulder, asking, “Like this?”
