Chapter 236
What if one day they actually meet in person and his conversation is nothing like his WhatsApp chats?
What if his worldview ispletely different from hers? What should she do then? But thinking about it
right now was like counting chickens before they hatch
Rubbing her sore neck, she realized it was already past midnight
Comelia get up to wash her face in the bathroom, went through her skincare nsutine, and then settled
comfortably in bed, preparing to check out the newn for a bit
Usually she’s all over the current affairs and financial news, hantly ever dipping into the entertainment
stuff
Today, she noticed that topping the social media trend list was someone she knew, Hannah Dixon
Intrigued, she clicked on the trending hashtag #annah???shley
Ashley is the main character of a romanceic series Cornelia emated and a hugely popr
character in theic world
Typically, big–name actresses shy away from roles in popric adaptations, fearing criticism
And Hannah being the selective actress she is, why on earth would she take on this role?
Comelia clicked on a video interview of Hannah discussing her new role
Many stars usually said they took the job because someone rmended the script to them, but
Hannah, known for her sincerity in the industry, gave a simple and direct answer “Because I loved the
original work Tve been following the news since I heard it was being adapted. When I heard they were
casting for the lead, I put myself forward, and they agreed quickly. Most importantly, I believe I can do
justice to this
characte
Such authenticity reached Cornelia She was tempted toment, telling Hannah that she was the only
one who could bring the author’s vision of Ashley to life.
However, scrolling through thements section, she saw a barrage of enticism, especially from
diehard fans of the original work.
They were whining about how theic shouldn’t be turned into a live action series, saying Hannah
couldn’t embody Ashley’s essence and that shed ruin the original work.
But if the author can barely make ends meet by selling their rights, how can they possibly create better
work?
Those who im to be advocating for the author–do they care for the author?
All they’re doing is satisfying their own desires, thinking that the original work is somehow superior to
any adaptation
Cornelia reached for her phone, wanting to send Hannah a WhatsApp message, telling her not to let
the onlinements get to her.
But then she thought, Hannah has been in the entertainment industry for years and has faced all sorts
of challenges. This wouldnt be the one to bring her down.
Before she could send a message, Hannah beat her to it. It was as if they were on the same
wavelength.
“Cornelia, you’re probably asleep by now, but I need someone to talk to, and you’re the only one I can
think of.”
Cornelia replied. Tve got the day off tomorrow from President Hartley. Im still up. What’s on your
mind?”
Hannah, “Can you talk on the phone right now?”
Cornelia. “Sure”
Then Hannah called, “Cornelia, I signed on to a new show today it’s a role I wanted and one that I love
but I’m warned I won’t be able to do it justice”
Cornelia, having seen Hannah’s confidence in the video, was surprised to hear her express such
wornes. It seemed everyone put up a front: “Hannah, why would you have such doubts?”
“I don’t know why I’m having these doubts. I never had them when i started. Maybe I love the character
too much. I want to bring Ashley to life and make her more vivid, but I’m scared 1 mess it up
I asked the producers for the author’s contact information so I could discuss my understanding of the
character But they said the author isn’t big on socializing, soil cant confirm whether my interpretation of
Ashley aligns with the author’s”
Hannah went on and on, seeming more like she was talking to herself, but Comelia patiently listenedContent is property of N?velDrama.Org.
