"If this movie can't be released as scheduled, it's not your fault, it's my fault as the investor," Aurelia Shaw squinted her eyes and said.
"I'm the one who chose the actors, I vouched for it, I made the promises, what does it have to do with you? All you need to do is to perform your role well, your job is already done. As for whether the movie can be released, that's my job."
Eliza Fletcher looked at her in surprise, opened her mouth, and found that she didn't know what to say.
"If you're not in a good mood, just go back early. I can see you're not in the mood to market yourself to these people," Aurelia patted her on the shoulder and got up to leave.
She secured the rights to Stardust, the movie, from Mason Nightshade.
Rather than saying she secured it, in his words: The entire Nightshade Corporation is yours, you have the final say on which company's na the movie is under.
Ha! That really sounds like sothing that wolf would say.
"How is it?" Sawyer rushed over to ask after Aurelia finished her conversation with Stephen Leigh, eyes fixed on her, holding his breath.
Aurelia couldn't help but chuckle.
She had said those words to Eliza just to console her, to keep her spirits from sinking too low. But seeing Sawyer like this... As the director and scriptwriter, his investnt in the movie was no less than anyone else's. Because of his trust in her, he handed the movie over to her to handle. How could she possibly betray that trust?
Besides, which of the things she set out to do hasn't succeeded?
In her past life, Stardust had achieved a great box office performance; even back then, Eliza's issue occurred, but the production team chose to replace her with another actress.
Even with this little incident, changing one part of the process, Aurelia was confident that the quality of the film had improved.
Because she had watched Stardust in theaters before, and back then she thought about how she would have played the lead role.
"He said he needs to think about it," Aurelia relayed Sawyer's exact words.
Sawyer's face unsurprisingly showed a look of disappointnt, "It's okay, even if they're unwilling to release our film, it's fine. This old face of mine is still sowhat useful, and my many years of experience weren't just for nothing, could it be a complete loss?"
"Old chap, I'm the lead and investor of this project, how could I let it fail?" Aurelia laughed as she patted Sawyer on the shoulder, "Besides, even if I have to put aside my ego to seek favors, that's my job to do. Let handle this, okay?"
Seeing Sawyer's hesitant expression, Aurelia chuckled, "With your old face, and considering how many people you've offended all these years, if you really went to look for investors, it would really be hard to get it released."
Sawyer's face turned various shades of green and red at Aurelia's words, but he couldn't refute her.
Indeed, over these years, he'd offended quite a few people.
He knew that this sharp-tongued young girl said it this way on purpose just to protect his old face.
Ah, tough on the outside but soft-hearted, always doing good things without seeking benefits.
With a personality like hers, she was bound to suffer in the entertainnt industry sooner or later.
Sawyer wanted to advise her a couple of words, but when he looked up, he saw her eyes glowing as she stared in one direction, surprised: Could there really be soone who interests her? He was curious, who could it be?
Following her line of sight, Sawyer froze in place, his mouth agape in shock.
