Chapter 29
Right now, Simon was furiously cursing in his heart.
These disgusting capitalists. They were always ordering other people around for their own benefit.
Moreover, Hector was seriously asking a third-year student who was still in school and had never been in any movies before to be the female lead of a movie with a 100 million dollar investment.
He even asked an A-lister to fill the supporting role. Damn, if word of this got out, he would be attacked by Marie’s fans.
If this girl’s skills were good, then it would still be fine because she would blow up overnight.
However, if her skills were not, then she would destroy the whole movie.
When that happened, not only would the investors be unable to get back their costs, there would be all kinds of criticism out there. At the end of the day, Simon would be the one responsible for all this.
Even though he was cursing Hector to hell in his heart, he still had a pandering smile on his face. He said,” Don’t worry, Mr. Gomez. I will definitely find a way to get it done.”
He had no choice, anyone with money in this day and age would be his master.
Even though he was pretty well-known in the industry, he was not at the stage where he could ignore these capitalists.
That was a privilege only the best directors could have. If those kinds of directors wanted to produce a movie, they would just need to leak some information out there and all kinds of A-listers or even the best actors and actresses would swarm over.
Other than that, countless capitalists would go to their doors begging them to use their money.
This was because the investor who the director chose would subsequently make a fortune.
Not only could they make a fortune, but their company would also prosper.
This was the way of the capitalists. As long as someone gave them profit, they would be polite to them. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Simon was also working toward this direction.
He longed to become this kind of director even in his dreams.
The next afternoon.
Patrick told David that the blind date would be hosted in Golden Leaf Hotel and he also told David not to be late.
David sent a message to Pearl asking her to tell all of the staff to just treat him as a normal guest when h e went to the hotel.
He did not want news of this to spread yet.
After the afternoon class, David went to the Golden Leaf Hotel and waited in the chairman’s office.
The other three Musketeers still needed to shower and change.
Tara came to the hotel once again.
This time, she was not here to meet any directors. Instead, she was attending a dinner treated by her
roommate Madison Johnson’s new boyfriend.
The four of them stood at the entrance of Golden Leaf Hotel while they waited for Patrick and the gang.
“Maddie, is your boyfriend really treating us to dinner here? We were just joking yesterday. Why don’t we g o to another place?” Another roommate, Eliza Goldman, asked.
Yesterday, they heard that Madison’s new boyfriend wanted to treat them to dinner and he asked them to choose a place. Then, they casually mentioned the Golden Leaf Hotel.
However, they did not expect him to really treat them to dinner here.
“Liz, it’s fine. Just trust me. How can he be my boyfriend if he can’t even afford a meal?”
“Maddie, your boyfriend seems great. He must be from a rich family. I’m so envious! Can you ask him whether he has other rich friends who are still single so we can get to know them?” Another roommate Rosalie King asked.
“Even though he’s treating us to dinner tonight, he’ll also bring a few of his roommates. Then, you can see i f there’s anyone you like. I can help set you guys up,” Madison answered.
“Are his roommates as rich as him? Don’t tell me they are all poor.”
“I have no idea.”
“Rosie, stop dreaming about getting a rich boyfriend all the time. It’s not bad to find one with potential too,” Tara interrupted.
“Tara, we’re not the same as you. Your family is loaded. If you can’t handle the real world, you can go back to your family business and inherit hundreds of millions in assets. How can we compare to you?”
“You know to know that the best ending for people like us is finding a rich guy who loves us. I don’t even know how much hardship I have to endure to become a star. I might even end up with nothing.”
“Don’t be so pessimistic.”
“I’m not, but students without backgrounds like us will have to have dinner, drinks, or even sleep with someone to get a role. In the end, you might not even be famous after sacrificing yourself. So, I don’t want to become a star anymore. I just want to find a rich man and live my life peacefully.”
Tara had no way of retorting anymore because the truth of the matter was just as Rosalie had said.
