"Joanna did really well just now," said Gregory Penway, a rare complint from soone always critical, even after hearing the conversation between the director and Faye Lister. "Both in terms of physical movent and emotional expression, she nailed it."
"See? Even our Master Gregory thinks she did a great job. Joanna, do you know how hard it is to get a complint from Master Gregory? It’s harder than getting to heaven," Faye said with a laugh. "I don’t know how many young ladies have cried because of his sharp tongue. This is the first ti I’ve ever seen him complint soone like this."
"Senior Gregory, do you really think my performance was good just now?" Joanna asked, looking up at Gregory Penway, a little flattered.
She had been prepared to get scolded before.
But what she got instead was praise?
"Pretty good," said Gregory Penway, looking both stern and gentle at the sa ti with his "Director of Discipline" deanor, even smiling. "Especially your crying scene, it was very touching."
Joanna bead with happiness, saying, "Thank you for your recognition, Senior Gregory."
Being able to get praise from soone as harsh as Gregory Penway was even more delightful to her than winning a big prize.
"However..." Gregory Penway suddenly changed his tone.
Joanna imdiately put on a humble and eager-to-learn expression. "Please enlighten , Senior Gregory."
At first, Gregory Penway didn’t have a good impression of Joanna.
There was even so prejudice.
He had heard that this beautiful young lady was from a wealthy family and had married a powerful husband.
In Gregory Penway’s view, people like her who entered the entertainnt industry probably just found it new and exciting.
They couldn’t possibly take acting seriously.
She must have gotten the role of Female Lead 2 through connections.
But his prejudice against Joanna disappeared in less than a minute after they began their opposing scenes.
By the ti the scene was over, Gregory Penway’s impression of Joanna had completely changed.
His prejudice turned into genuine appreciation.
Gregory Penway was more than willing to give guidance to the younger generations he appreciated. After so contemplation, he earnestly said, "There’s no major problem, just so minor lapses. When you get into a certain emotion, you tend to overlook so details."
"It’ll be even better if you can pay more attention to those details."
Joanna valued this invaluable suggestion, she quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Gregory, for your advice. I will keep that in mind."
"Yeah, don’t worry. Take your ti. When you’ve acted in more films and gained more experience, you’ll naturally do better." Seeing her humble attitude, Gregory Penway’s appreciation for her grew even more.
This young lady was very polite and didn’t act superior just because of her background. Calling him "senior" made him feel very comfortable.
Gregory Penway truly believed that this young lady would probably beco the next Faye Lister.
Perhaps even surpass Faye Lister.
The competition for the next Golden Globe Award for Best Actress just got a little tougher for Faye Lister.

The filming for the next two months went very smoothly.
So smoothly, in fact, that a three-month film project wrapped up half a month early.
On the night of the wrap-up, Joanna had so drinks inevitably.
When she was tipsy and leaving the Luxe Lounge with the film crew, seeing a familiar tall figure standing next to a Lamborghini sports car parked outside the entrance, she thought she was seeing things because of being drunk.
