The group, including Clarissa Stanton, were all stunned.
Such a big, profitable project, and he’s just walking away from it?
No wonder Simon Sutton has a nickname "Iron-Faced Director."
The producer was also caught off guard by Simon Sutton’s sudden departure. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to Clarissa Stanton with a smile and said, "Miss, please wait a moment, I’ll go persuade the director."
Clarissa Stanton glanced at Simon Sutton’s back, feeling quite anxious inside because she was essentially bluffing her way through.
What’s more, her bluff was built on someone else’s clout.
"Ahem..." She coughed lightly under her breath, "Alright, I’ll wait for you."
The producer hurried after Simon Sutton.
After much persuasion, Simon Sutton finally relented, but he hoped to talk directly with Damian Knight.
"I’ve met Young Master Knight twice, he’s not a person who ignores the facts. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Give me his number, I’ll talk to him myself."
How could the producer have the number of someone as influential as Damian Knight? But the business card had it!
"I’ll go ask for the number!"
The producer rushed back to the theater and said to Clarissa Stanton, "Miss, can you call Young Master Knight? Director Sutton hopes to discuss with him."
Clarissa Stanton suddenly panicked.
If she calls Damian Knight, won’t everything be revealed?
She thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
If it involved Summer Monroe, Damian Knight might help out, since Summer Monroe had helped Damian Knight before, and he owed her a favor, right?
She coughed once more, handed the business card to the producer, and said, "Tell Young Master Knight that I’m Clarissa, I want to act in this film, and I won’t disappoint him."
As things developed, Clarissa Stanton could only take a gamble.
She gambled that Damian Knight knew "Sadie" was Summer Monroe, and also that Damian Knight would be willing to help Summer Monroe this time.
"Doo doo doo——"
The phone rang three times, then connected, and a deep voice came through: "Hello?"
The producer quickly spoke up, "Young Master Knight, I’m the producer of the film ’Crestfall Monster.’ Miss Clarissa auditioned with us, she’s your friend and hopes to act in this film. But our director has some reservations about this casting and hopes to discuss it with you. What do you think... is it possible?"
"Sadie?" Damian Knight raised his brows in surprise on the other end of the line.
Summer Monroe actually has this hobby? He realized he still knew too little about her.
However, her willingness to use his business card made him somewhat happy for unknown reasons.
Clarissa Stanton, on this end of the line, was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Then she heard Damian Knight pause for two seconds and say, "I’m in a meeting right now. Let’s do this, I’ll finish in an hour, have him choose a place to meet with me. I’ll talk to him."
"That’s great, thank you, I won’t disturb you then."
The producer hung up the phone, and looked at Clarissa Stanton with even more respect.
"Miss Clarissa, you should go home and wait for the news, I’ll inform you of the result later."
"Alright." Clarissa Stanton suppressed her joy and turned to leave the theater.
Damian Knight actually agreed to help Summer Monroe!
This made her both happy and jealous.
But when she becomes famous, Damian Knight would definitely see her, remember her, pay attention to her; she couldn’t rush.
One hour later, in the cafe opposite the theater, two handsome men sat facing each other.
Simon Sutton spoke first: "Young Master Knight, I’ve met you twice before and know that you are a rational person. I’ll be direct, your friend doesn’t have acting talent and can’t carry my film. If she takes part, the box office and reputation will be cut in half."
