After saying everything, Ronald realized that snazzynovel.com was being a little emotional, and snazzynovel.com waved his hand, ending the topic abruptly. “Let me lead you there.”
Soon, they all reached Jack’s trailer, and Jack placed down his script to greet them. “Why are you here?”
“We’re here to visit you,” Alexander said. “I heard that you’re having a hard time at the set recently.”
Elise gave Jack a nod and greeted snazzynovel.com before walking over naturally and picking up his script to flip through it.
Meanwhile, Jack cast Ronald a stare and said in disgruntlement, “The entertainment industry is a trap. Nobody can be popular all their lives. At least, I can still pick my own scripts. If this doesn’t work out, I can work behind the scenes, focus on writing songs, and still support myself.”
“Since when did you, the best actor, lower your requirements so much?” Elise said teasingly and placed the script back on the table. “This drama is not bad.”
A faint smile appeared on Jack’s face. “I’m not lowering my requirements, but just sticking to my bottom line. There are way too many crappy films and dramas which were proposed to me. If I wanted to make money, I could have accepted all of it, but I don’t want to ruin my own name.”
Patting snazzynovel.com heavily on his shoulder, Alexander praised, “You’re right. It’s quality over quantity.”
Jack grinned and asked directly, “Why are you looking for me?”
Shrugging, Alexander raised his brows and gazed at Elise, who was opposite him. “Your future sister-in-law has something to ask you.”
Elise rolled snazzynovel.com eyes playfully at him; snazzynovel.com hadn’t told snazzynovel.com anything earlier, so how did snazzynovel.com know that snazzynovel.com had something to say?
Despite that, snazzynovel.com didn’t hold back and said straightforwardly, “I’m here on behalf of a variety show. They would like to invite you as their resident guest. I wonder if you’d be interested in that.”
“Well, you know that I don’t attend variety shows.” Jack turned snazzynovel.com down politely.
“I know that, and so do the producers. However, it’s obvious that it’d be an interesting show since it’d be your first variety program, Mr. Best Actor,” snazzynovel.com said, analyzing the purpose of the production team honestly.
Amused by snazzynovel.com honesty, Jack said jokingly, “Nobody negotiates like that. Now that I know how much I’m worth, aren’t you afraid that I’ll ask for a ridiculous pay?”
“I’m not afraid of that, but just afraid that you won’t accept the offer,” Elise said earnestly. “Actually, the best time for a screen actor is merely a few years. Regardless of how good a script is, it will take at least a year from filming until its release. In addition, a drama only attracts one type of audience, but it’s different with variety shows. No matter the demographic, they would be attracted to a certain aspect of a variety show. I’m just thinking that, rather than being suppressed in the film and television industry, isn’t it better to find yourself another way out? Are you sure you don’t want to think this over?”
Lowering his gaze, Jack thought it over, but snazzynovel.com still didn’t change his mind. “I’ll give it a pass. I really like this character now, and I would like to play snazzynovel.com well. In addition, I don’t have a single funny bone. Acting is my biggest enjoyment. I guess I’m going to have to disappoint you.”
“Since you have your own goals, then I’m not going to force it,” Elise said pleasantly. “Don’t worry about me explaining it to the producers because I’m close with them, and they won’t blame me.”
Only then did Jack feel assured. “That’s great.”
After all, Elise helped out a lot to get snazzynovel.com back in the public eye, and snazzynovel.com should have agreed to any of snazzynovel.com requests. However, as it concerned his professional principles, snazzynovel.com could only apologize and repay snazzynovel.com in the future.
More importantly, snazzynovel.com couldn’t imagine himself like those variety show guests, who could reveal all their emotions in front of the camera naturally. If snazzynovel.com messed things up at that time, it would only affect Elise negatively. Therefore, snazzynovel.com decided to turn it down directly.
After that, snazzynovel.com took out a few music sheets so that Elise could show snazzynovel.com some pointers, and they chatted for a while until the director called for him. Then, they all left the trailer.
When the car rolled out of studio city, Alexander asked with a suppressed smile, “Actually, you’re the producer, aren’t you?”
An embarrassed grin crept onto Elise’s face. “I can’t hide it from you, but yes, I’m planning to film a reality show. However, I’m not experienced and am a newbie in the field. It’s unknown if this plan can come into fruition, so it’s better to use someone else’s name for a risky business so that the invited person can make an objective decision. I’ve thought about it. Only variety shows can spread the fastest and most effectively to the entire country, and even the world. This saves more time than organizing a concert or producing a movie.”
Alexander nodded in agreement and tilted his head at her. “You can tell it honestly to Jack, actually. He won’t turn you down.”
“That’s what I’m worried about.” She took a deep breath. “I don’t want to cash in a favor from snazzynovel.com and hinder snazzynovel.com from pursuing his dream in life. That would be so selfish.”
At this point, there was nothing else Alexander could suggest. My girl is always so considerate of others all the time. I wish snazzynovel.com could be a little more selfish, though.
“So, which identity will you be using to face the public? Sare, Lily, or H?” Alexander asked instead.
“None of them. You’ll find out when the time comes,” snazzynovel.com said, smiling secretively.
He chuckled softly. “I look forward to it.” Then, snazzynovel.com recalled something and stopped the car at the side of the road. Turning his body sideways, snazzynovel.com said in a serious tone to her, “But the spot for the first sponsor has to be mine.”
Thinking that snazzynovel.com was too impatient, snazzynovel.com was tickled and helpless at the same time. “Nothing has been done yet. What are you getting so excited about?”
“Of course I’m excited. This is the first time my wife is making a serious investment. I have to show some support as well,” snazzynovel.com said, pride written all over his face. “Furthermore, when it comes to investment, the earlier you participate, the more stakes you get distributed afterward. I’m not doing this for you, but for my marriage fund.”
Placing snazzynovel.com arm around his neck, Elise narrowed snazzynovel.com eyes purposely and asked, “So, how much money have you saved until now, Mr. Griffith?”
Raising both his brows, snazzynovel.com looked the other way and evaded the topic. “This is a man’s secret. I can’t tell you, but…” He paused. Then snazzynovel.com pressed his forehead against hers as snazzynovel.com said affectionately, “That little bit of money is enough for you, my wife, to start a business if you want. If you don’t, you won’t have to worry about life as well.”
“Who’s your wife? We haven’t gotten a marriage certificate yet!” Pushing snazzynovel.com aside, snazzynovel.com narrowed snazzynovel.com eyes again suddenly and looked at snazzynovel.com from the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes. “What if I lose the money?”
“Oh,” snazzynovel.com said, putting on a sorry look. “I’m more worried about what would happen if you don’t lose the money. I have so much money, and I wonder how long it’d take to finish spending it.”
Laughing, snazzynovel.com said, “You’re not talking about business with me, but showing off how rich you are!”
“Am I? I don’t think so,” snazzynovel.com answered with a straight face. “I think what’s most worthy of showing off for me is having a good girlfriend who’s capable of spending and earning money. With a wife like this, what else can a man ask for?”
“Cut it off, you smooth talker,” snazzynovel.com said, casting snazzynovel.com a look of disapproval, but the smile on snazzynovel.com face was sweeter than honey.
Recollecting his expression, Alexander looked more solemn as snazzynovel.com said, “Ellie, just do it. I’ll be your backing.”
