Chapter 371 Something’s Wrong
Moreover, the budget of three billion dollars for this movie was not to hire some renowned celebrity. The main expenses were allocated into production, so the quality would be top-notched. Also, the script itself was perfect, so once the movie was completed, the results would be terrific.
Although Snow Fenner was now an A-list celebrity, there weren’t many changes to her life. She only had Lily Zimmerman following her everywhere. The company had wanted to arrange a few assistants and bodyguards for her, but Snow rejected them.
Snow was a child from the countryside who wasn’t spoiled nor had a temper. It wasn’t like she couldn’t take care of herself, so why would she need so many assistants?
As for bodyguards, there was even less need for them. Her current schedules were all confidential, so fans would not harass her. As for celebrities commonly seen departing from planes with a huge team of bodyguards fending off their fans was just the celebrity hiring fans to cause a trending topic.
In the car, Snow kept looking out the window with her hands balled into fists. She looked nervous.
“What’s wrong, Little Snow? Why do you look so nervous?” Lily asked.
Snow smiled and answered, “It’s just, everything is happening so fast. I heard that White Snake’s director would be Graham Cabot. He’s our country’s most renowned director. I used to can’t imagine collaborating with a famous director like Graham Cabot. This is like a dream.”
Lily chuckled and held Snow’s hand. “These are the fruits of your labor. Of course, we must also be most thankful to Autumn Field. Without Autumn Field, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
“Yeah.” Snow nodded firmly. “My parents had always taught me to be grateful all my life. I’ve told Sister Winifred about this news. If I really become a huge star in the future, I’ll definitely spare no effort in promoting Sister Winifred’s Autumn Field Group.”
“Hehe, Little Snow, aren’t you already a huge star now?”
The MPV drove into the parking lot of a huge building and the two girls went up to the building’s fifth floor. This was the venue of White Snake’s casting location. Once inside, they were ardently received by a staff member.
After that, the staff member had Lily wait outside before leading Snow into an office, saying that the director had been waiting inside for Snow.
Lily was confused. Why couldn’t a manager tag along when the celebrity was meeting the director? In previous cases, managers were required to go along for negotiations. However, at the thought that he was a nationally renowned director and their methods might be different, Lily paid it no mind.
At that moment, Lily was sitting at the lounge outside with coffee in her hands as she waited for Snow. Quite a few staff members were running around and there were also some aged actors.
“Ozawa Maple?” Just then, Lily suddenly caught sight of a familiar silhouette from a nearby resting area. That instant, Lily’s hands trembled, and the coffee in her hands almost spilled. “Why is she here?”
Lily’s heart thumped as an ominous feeling invaded her heart. Ozawa Maple was currently the most famous adult video actress in Japan.
Lily abruptly stood up and reached out to a staff member passing by. “Hi, may I ask why Ozawa Maple is here?”
The staff member showed no restraints and answered, “She’s our production’s second female lead. Why can’t she be here?”
“Second female lead?” Lily was perplexed. “Isn’t this the casting site for White Snake - A Devastating Romance?”
“It is,” the staff answered.
“What rated movie is this?”
The staff chuckled and drew an ‘X’ with her finger. “It’s definitely a huge production. Don’t worry, although we can’t premier it within the country, it’ll cause just as huge an uproar in other areas.”
Lily shuddered and quickly put down her coffee on the table before turning to rush into the director’s office.
Upon entering the room, she saw a horrifying scene. A large man could be seen pressing Snow down while another was trying to remove her clothes.
Meanwhile, there was a bearded man in glasses, holding a video camera as he stood beside them.
Lily’s scalp prickled. This bearded man was truly a renowned director, but he was not Graham Cabot. Instead, he was nicknamed ‘Graham Cabot’ in the industry of adult films.
“What are you guys doing? Stop at once.” Snow was struggling with all her might as fear was apparent on her face. Lily roared and went over to kick one of the large men away.
The bearded director’s expression turned ugly, and he flew into a rage. “What are you doing?”
“You’re asking me what I’m doing?” Lily was furious. She snatched the video camera from the bearded man’s hands and viciously smashed it onto the ground until it shattered. After that, she pulled Snow along and headed for the door.
“Trying to run? Apprehend them!” The bearded director was irritated as well.
In an instant, several muscular men from inside and outside the room blocked off Lily and Snow’s path.
Snow was crying from fright. Lily shielded her and said confidently, “Don’t be afraid, Little Snow. With me here, no one can hurt you.”
Lily wasn’t boasting. In fact, before she became a manager, she was a kicking boxing trainer.
As the large men pounced at them, Lily defeated them all with a combination of her fists and kicks. After that, she pulled Snow along and dashed out of the set’s entrance.
Had a person not witnessed with his own eyes, they would never imagine how strong Lily was. It was no wonder Snow never brought bodyguards with her. This manager of hers was the best bodyguard.
The bearded director rushed out and roared at Lily and Snow. “If both of you dare to walk out of this door, you’ll need to pay a huge compensation fee.”
“What?” Lily and Snow were stunned.
Lily turned around, looking infuriated as she shouted at the bearded director, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“I’m spouting nonsense?” The bearded man chuckled and tossed an agreement at Lily. “Take a look at it yourself. This is the agreement your Brilliant Media has signed with our production house. There’s a total of three movies with Snow Fenner as the lead. We’ve paid the deposit, and the preparations are done. Now that you’re saying you want out, how could that possibly happen?”
Lily quickly picked up the agreement. After scanning it briefly, her expression darkened. The bearded man wasn’t lying. Brilliant Media had signed a contract for three movies with them for Snow to be their lead actress. However, this wasn’t a classic movie. It was an adult movie!
