Chapter 804: Chapter 804: Jasmine Clark is in Big Trouble (2)
Linton City’s movie set was bustling with activity.
The upcoming movie by the International Renowned Director, Director Ford, was about to start shooting, and staff had already begun the busy task of erecting the necessary sets.
Today, besides constructing the set, they had to prepare for the press conference for the start of shooting as well as finalize the actors’ looks.
When Jasmine Clark’s red BMW kicked up dust as it stopped on the set, quite a few staff members puckered their lips towards her direction and started whispering gossipy tidbits to each other.
“Who is she, an actor here for a makeup test? Is she a big deal? I’ve never seen her on TV.”
“Shh, keep your voice down. Of course you haven’t seen her, she’s just a newcomer, hasn’t even done a movie yet. But she’s got connections—she’s our director’s… cough cough, you know. So, the second female lead for this movie is supposedly reserved for her already.”
“Ah, she’s the second female lead.”
“Right, once she’s done with this movie, she’ll probably become famous. After all, she’s snagged a good man; will she ever run short of work resources in the future?”
“But I think her face looks so fake, though it is pretty, it’s just not natural at all. I don’t get why the director would go for a woman with such a fake face.”
“Who in the entertainment industry doesn’t get plastic surgery? She did okay, I guess. Must have had a good foundation. As for why he’d fall for her, it’s simple—she’s young and beautiful. Now, which tycoon in the industry doesn’t keep several young and beautiful actors around? When they get tired of one, they’ll just switch out; it’s not like they’re marrying them, they don’t need to be picky.”
The staff murmured softly, and Jasmine Clark didn’t catch any of their words; she just felt many people looking at her.
Thinking they were stealing glances because of her beauty, she couldn’t help but lift her chin arrogantly as she walked past everyone and entered the actors’ exclusive makeup room.
As soon as she entered, the voices discussing her outside grew a bit louder, mingled with snickers.
“Oh my, did you see just now? She held her chin so high, haha, could this be the legendary ‘looking down one’s nose’ at others?”
“Hold it so high, she’s not afraid that fake chin might fall off.”
“Seriously, I don’t know what she’s so proud of. I bet 0.75 dollars that this woman will soon be out of the picture. It won’t be long before the director replaces her with a new favorite!”
“I’ll also bet 0.75 dollars. I hadn’t seen her before and thought she could hold on for a few months. Now that I’ve seen her in person, with that temper and that face, it’s a matter of minutes before she’s out. Who tries to make it in the entertainment industry without brains? There are plenty more famous than her. And there are many more with stronger backers. You know about the female protagonist of this movie, right? Olivia Lewis, Ms. Lewis. I ran into her once; she was so courteous to the staff, nothing one, looking down on people!”
“Olivia Lewis? I’ve worked with her too. She’s really nice. I remember one summer when she was shooting; she bought a lot of cold drinks for the staff with her own money, and on the night of the wrap-up, she invited everyone for dinner. No airs at all.”
“I’ve worked with her too! Olivia Lewis really has no airs about her. Without hearing all those stories from the circles, you wouldn’t even notice her sugar daddy’s huge influence. She’s truly nice. So many female stars rely on their background and act arrogantly, either showing up late or leaving early, can’t take a bit of hardship here or can’t shed a tear there. Whenever she was shooting, if the script called for it, she never complained to anyone about how hard it was; she’s incredibly professional.”
“That’s why she keeps being famous, continuously pampered by sugar daddies, eh.”
