Chapter 277
After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Eden was too excited to stop talking.
Brock looked at Eden expressionlessly, a trace of disdain flashing
through his eyes.
"Stop it, Eden. Remember your public image? If your fans saw you like
this, do you know what would happen?" Eden's agent wanted to stop
him.
Eden was always an aloof and self-restrained young man in his fansâ
eyes.
However, he was a careless and straightforward young man who was
too talkative.
Whenever he became excited, he couldn't stop speaking at all.
He could hold a talk show continuously for several hours.
âIt's alright. His fans are not here. He needs some rest," Sylvia stopped
Eden's agent, flicking her hands at him. "Mr. Davila, you should have
known all the implications in the playscript. We'll start the filming when
it's ready. Eden West will be the male lead. Mr. Davila, please select
other actors and actresses by yourself. I won't interfere with your
decision."
"Miss Andrews..." Brock was surprised again, as he had never thought
Sylvia to give him such great rights.
The entertainment business was based on sponsorship and driven by
money.
The directorsâ rights had been reduced. They were like the puppets of
the sponsors.
Feeling touched, Brock looked at Sylvia, his eyes glimmering with
hidden worship.
Logan was familiar with this kind of gaze as Romeo and James always
gazed at Sylvia so weirdly.
Logan believed that in the near future, more people would stare at
Sylvia with such a gaze, such as Eden, this talkative stupid young boy.
Eden had no idea what was in Logan's mind. He was studying the
playscript. When he realized the image of the male lead, he was
agitated again.
"My goodness! I love the male lead's persona. He's an idol but loves
collecting garbage. Wynter's mind is so creative. I love her!"
"Oh, my gosh! This male lead is exactly like me. We are both
handsome, good at singing and dancing, and kind-hearted. We both
like collecting garbage. Argh!"
"My idol is so nice to me. She didn't assign me a girlfriend in the movie
but let me concentrate on collecting the garbage. She must be worried
my fans would leave me if I had a girlfriend in this movie."
All people gaped at Eden upon hearing his narcissistic remarks.
Brock was shocked, wondering if he needed to work with such a
nagging boy.
He felt it was the end of the world.
However, Sylvia nominated Eden to be the male lead personally, so
Brock had to repress the urge to kick Eden out of the room and
continue to talk to Sylvia.
"Miss Andrews, this movie is science fiction. Although the sci-fi scenes
only take a small part, the special effects need some money, so we
need more funds than usual.â
"How much approximately?" Sylvia asked seriously. She listened to
Brock sincerely.
Brock felt respected. After glancing at her, he plucked up his courage
and answered, "Approximately... 300 million dollars."
It wasn't a tiny figure.
For many people, it was a sky-high price. Most people couldn't make
much money after working hard for a lifetime.
Brock was also a poor man and had never seen such a considerable
amount of money.
However, he aimed to film a great movie.
If not, that money would be spent in vain.
Feeling stressed, he still answered Sylvia's question honestly.
Sylvia didn't respond immediately but kept silent.
Brock had been studying her expression, afraid she would refuse.
When she was silent, his heart sank. He wondered if she lacked that
much money. Even though she was Logan's girlfriend, she shouldn't be
able to afford it.
Brock stammered, âWell... If 300 million dollars are too much, we... we
can invite other companies to invest in this movie. A movie can have
more than one sponsor. Some even have more than ten sponsors.â
Sylvia looked up at him. "Is just 300 million enough?â
"What? I beg your pardon?" Brock didn't understand what she meant.
Then he watched Sylvia pull out a checkbook and write on the top
page.
The next second, he gaped at the check from her and saw 300 million
dollars.
Sylvia gave him so much money without hesitation.
"If not enough, do let me know." Sylvia beamed at him. "Fund
guarantees the movie's quality. Mr. Davila, please don't let me down."
Eden poked his head to look at the check curiously.
"Whoa... Sylvia, why are you so rich? Did you use my brother's
money?"
Logan felt so ashamed upon watching his brother's reaction. "Shut up!"
he snapped.
Eden snorted, "Humph! Forget it. For my brother's sake.â
He quieted down and continued to study the playscript. It was too
appealing for him to stop reading.
After all, Eden was still young. After being flattered by others in the
entertainment business, he became reckless and arrogant.
Sylvia darted a glance at him and said to Brock, "He's still young and
reckless. Please pay more attention to him. I believe you can change
him eventually."
Brock felt an intense migraine, shaking his head. "Miss Andrews, I'll
select the actors and actresses for this movie, including the female
lead.â
"Of course. The ball is in your court. Need anything, please tell me."
Sylvia sounded as if she was only responsible for giving him the
money.
She fully trusted Brock.
Being trusted and given much responsibility by Sylvia, Brock couldn't
help feeling excited and overjoyed. Inwardly, he swore he would make
this movie a hit.
After several years, this was his only opportunity to turn the tables.
If he missed it, he would live in the shabby house and darkness for the
rest of his life.
"Filming a movie?" Franklin was confused after listening to Jasper's
words.
In the morning, he saw Eden appear in the lab opposite and thought he
had an illusion.
Later, he saw Brock, a once-popular director.
After investigating what had happened, Jasper immediately returned
and reported it to him.
"Yes, Mr. Maskelyne. Miss Andrews invested 300 million dollars.â
"300 million dollars? How could she have so much money? Did Logan
give it to her?" Franklin frowned. Anything that could be resolved with
money was never a problem.
He continued, "Add 300 million dollars to her movie. After all, Eden is
under the entertainment company run by Maskelyne Group. We should
sponsor him."
In the past, he didn't want Eden to film the movie written by Sylvia. After
all, Eden was too handsome, and Franklin tried to distance him from
Sylvia.
