Chapter 1359
Hannah saw that Cornelia’s cheeks, nose, and hands were all red. She asked, “Cornelia, it’s so cold, why don’t you
turn on the heater?” Cornelia replied. “I thought the heater was broken. The reception said to cut costs, only the
main actors‘ rooms can have the heater on.” Hannah, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years
and encountered all sorts of odd situations, found this sort of thing rather normal, “I’m staying in a suite, you can
bunk with me.”
Cornelia accepted the breakfast Hannah offered and placed it on the small table in her room.
“If I stay in your room, won’t you be worried that I’d overhear your business secrets or swipe your personal
photos?” Cornelia asked.
“Are you that kind of person?” Hannah shot back.
Comelia replied, “Not right now, but who knows about the future. People’s hearts are the most unpredictable. With
your special status, you should be more careful and not let others know too much about you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHannah retorted, “I’m just offering you a place to stay. If you don’t want to, then forget it. Stop going on about it
and eat your breakfast. Enough chit–chat.”
Comelia chuckled. “You’re a popular star, the youngest Best Actress winner, and you’re personally bringing me
breakfast. I must be pretty lucky.”
Hannah replied. “To the capitalists, all these titles are just á joke.”
Cornelia didn’t respond. Hannah was stating a fact.
Hannah continued, “Today at ten past ten, we’re holding the commencement ceremony, there will be a lot of
media. I’m going back to my room to get ready soon, want to tag along? As the scriptwriter, you should attend
too.”
“I don’t really want to be in the limelight, what should I do?” Cornelia patted her stomach.
Hannah said, “If you’re not comfortable being in front, you can stand at the back. You’re a newbie scriptwriter and
the film isn’t popular yet, so not many people will notice you.”
Cornelia nodded, “Alright.”
Hannah continued, “Also, Kellan doesn’t have the best reputation in the industry. Try to avoid him as much as
possible, besides necessary work contact.”
After the events of last night and this morning, Cornelia was well aware that Kellan wasn’t a good person. “I
remember the lead actor wasn’t Kellan before, why the sudden change?”
Hannah replied, “Changing the lead actors right before shooting starts is pretty common. Most of the time, casting
isn’t about the actor’s acting skills or how well they fit the role, but about the politics of capital.”
“Wasn’t the previous lead actor recommended by the investors of this film?” Cornelia asked.
Hannah said, “You might not know, but our investors have changed. I’m not sure who the new investors are, but the
director wants us to have dinner with them tonight.”
Cornelia sighed, “This industry is even more complicated than I thought.”
Hannah smiled, “For a newcomer with no connections, success is really hard to come by. Just like when I started, if I
hadn’t gotten Steven’s support, I might still be playing supporting roles, or even have changed careers.”
Cornelia added, “Thankfully, you persevered. Now you can choose your scripts, and decide whether to shoot or
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot.”
Hannah shook her head, “You’re too naive to think that. The only reason I can choose now is because those people
don’t know that my backer has broken up with me. If they knew, their attitude towards me would definitely
change.”
“There are fewer and fewer people really pursuing their dreams.” Cornelia sighed.
Hannah agreed, “Yeah, everything is about profits now. The fact that you can enjoy drawing your comics and not
getting involved in the outside fights is quite a feat.”
Cornelia said, “I only take care of the creative content, everything else is handled by Zack and Abby. If not for them,
I’d have to deal with all of this myself.”
Hannah sighed, “Let’s not talk about these things that make us uncomfortable and we can’t change. Nelly, if I’m too
busy on set, you can let my assistant know if you need anything.”
“Alright.” Cornelia nodded.
Hannah, still worried, reiterated, “Don’t just say it, make sure you do it if something comes up.”
Hannah knew very well that Cornelia didn’t like to bother others.
