A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 441: Doesn't Mr. Smith Always Dote on Her?

Lily has a headache and asks her assistant, "Smith Group's public relations department took no action

for such a big matter?"

"I'm not sure." Ella does not sound optimistic. "Almost all netizens are talking about news of the starlet

being on drugs. The news was released in early morning, and I guess all the netizens have known

about it."

"The starlet has been in the limelight recently. Not only the artists of Best Taste Entertainment, but also

the artists of other Media are dissatisfied. This is the right time to kick her when she is down."

"What has she done as an agent? She can't even keep an eye on her!" Lily curses and suddenly

remembers something. She asks Ella, "Has the news about her contracting with HS Company been

spread?"

"Not yet."

Lily is instantly relieved. "Good. Then, make a claim according to the contract."

"Ms. Lily, there's another problem..." Ella glances at Lily and says carefully, "Brilliant Media says that

the script has been finished. The director has 13 days off. He is supposed to go to the City L for

shooting tomorrow, but that incident happened. Now the schedule is messed up."

Lily says, "It's nothing. Tell the director and the actor that the shooting will be postponed. Hurry up and

go to the campus or other studios to find out if you can find a replacement to contract with, then ask the

crew to bring her along."

Ella spreads out her hands and says resignedly, "When I saw the news this morning, I immediately

called Brilliant Media. I wanted to postpone it but was refused because Director Jarvis has a tight

schedule. He will be at a film festival abroad 13 days later."

Lily understood and sneered, "They want money, don't they?"

"Right." Ella does not expect the answer from Lily. She says, "Brilliant Media says that we can

postpone the shooting, but the contract has to be revised. The price will have to be set according to the

market."

"What a crappy deal wrapped in pretty paper!" Lily is disgusted, "I chose him because I found that he is

good at shooting from his graduation project. How can he get in my face!"

After thinking for a while, Ella puts forward her idea, "Since they won't cooperate, then don't bother with

it. I'll send you some graduation projects of young directors right now, and you take a look. I'll then go

to the campus to choose the female lead."

Lily nods, "Alright."

"Do you want the script back?" Ella asks, "The scriptwriter is from Brilliant Media, but we have bought

the script. Since we won't cooperate, we shouldn't leave the script to them in case anything happens."

Lily thinks for a moment and objects. "It's fine. We've signed a contract with the scriptwriter. The script

is with them and they will be the ones responsible for everything that may happen. Don't be in a hurry

to terminate the contract with Brilliant Media. Just go and find the female lead for the short film."

If she can't find someone to replace Director Jarvis and again asks them to cooperate, Brilliant Media

will definitely claim a higher price. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

It's always right to take baby steps.

"Alright, got it."

While Ella is on errand, Lily also busies herself. After dealing with the urgent matters at hand, she looks

through information and graduation projects of young directors sent by Ella.

However, after checking several directors' works, she doesn't find a satisfactory one.

When she looks up and sees the two insulation buckets on the table, Lily remembers that she forgets

to call Chandler. She is too busy today, so she sends a WeChat message to David asking him to come

to HS.

But Louis is the one reading those WeChat messages.

After reading them, Louis thinks that Lily is anxious about the news.

She calls David in and says, "Bring the documents of the best actresses in Best Taste Entertainment

with you. Go HS and see if Lily will have an eye on any of them."

"Alright, I'll go later." David replies with confusion as he mutters, "It's weird. This kind of news is

common, but negative news about the starlet can't be suppressed no matter how."

Louis says, "It means that she is unpopular and flaunting in the industry. There are too many people

against her. Her enemies have resources on the major websites, so it is reasonable to be a trending

topic."

David sighs. "Fortunately, Best Taste Entertainment is operated independently. This negative news

won't affect the Smith Group. But it is not the case for HS. HS has managed to sign with her, but

something like this happens."

Louis' eyes darken, as if he has learned something from his words. "I heard that the CEO of a branch

of HS is a mixed-race person. Has his name been announced?"

"Not yet." David is stunned, but at the same time, he understands something, "Mr. Smith, you mean..."

However, Louis says coldly, "I mean nothing. Go."

"..."

David looks at Louis' cold expression and is sure that he has guessed something, but he has no choice

but to go out in silence.

David rushes towards HS with the documents about the best actresses.

The Smith Group and the HS Company are both in the Financial Center. They are not far away from

each other. David arrives in a few minutes on foot. He goes in and tells the receptionist his purpose.

After the receptionist makes a call, he is led upstairs.

The receptionist leads David to Lily's office. "Ms. Lily, David from the Smith Group wants to see you."

Lily looks up from the computer and says, "Alright, you shall leave."

"Looks like the news about the starlet has caused you a headache." David glances at Lily and then

hands over all the documents he brought to her. "These are the profiles of the best actresses in Best

Taste Entertainment. Take a look to see if you can find a satisfactory one. "

Lily says in surprise, "I told you in WeChat to take something away. I didn't ask anything from you."

Mr. Smith is the one using the WeChat account, so David does not know what the messages are. He

adds, "I am afraid that you may need a spokesperson, so I bring you these documents."

"My budget is limited. I can't afford to contract with any famous star." Lily shakes her head and puts the

documents away. "What happened to taht starlet?"

David shrugs, "She is caught on drugs. She has to be in detox for some time."

"I didn't mean that."

David is confused and asks curiously, "Then what do you mean?"

"Doesn't Mr. Smith always dote on her? Hasn't he introduced to her some of his connections in the film

industry and the luxuries circles?" Lily's eyes flicker as she tries her best to speak in a natural tone,

"The public relations department of the Smith Group is one of the best in the industry. The scandal

happened a few hours ago, but why hasn't it been suppressed?"

"Oh, so that's what you're asking." David understands now and asks doubtfully, "But Ms. Lily, how do

you know that Mr. Smith has introduced his connections to her?"

He thinks it has been covered up.

Lily says, "Every company has talkative employees. It's not hard to find it out. You haven't answered

me. Why hasn't Mr. Smith dealt with it?"

David is still wondering how this secret was exposed. Hearing Lily ask this, he replies, "Best Taste

Entertainment is operated independently. If something happens to its artists, it won't involve the Smith

Group."

"What's more, the starlet is arrogant and flaunting. There are many people against her. She was on

drugs. If the Smith Group were to help, it would definitely be implicated."
