Hannah saw that Cornelia’s cheeks, nose, and hands were all red. She asked, “Cornelia, it’s so cold,
why don’t you turn on the heater?” Cornelia replied. “I thought the heater was broken. The reception
said to cut costs, only the main actors‘ rooms can have the heater on.” Hannah, who had been in the
entertainment industry for many years and encountered all sorts of odd situations, found this sort of
thing rather normal, “I’m staying in a suite, you can bunk with me.”

Cornelia epted the breakfast Hannah offered and ced it on the small table in her room.
“If I stay in your room, won’t you be worried that I’d overhear your business secrets or swipe your
personal photos?” Cornelia asked.
“Are you that kind of person?” Hannah shot back.
Comelia replied, “Not right now, but who knows about the future. People’s hearts are the most
unpredictable. With your special status, you should be more careful and not let others know too much
about you.”
Hannah retorted, “I’m just offering you a ce to stay. If you don’t want to, then forget it. Stop going on
about it and eat your breakfast. Enough chit–chat.”
Comelia chuckled. “You’re a popr star, the youngest Best Actress winner, and you’re personally
bringing me breakfast. I must be pretty lucky.”
Hannah replied. “To the capitalists, all these titles are just á joke.”
Cornelia didn’t respond. Hannah was stating a fact.
Hannah continued, “Today at ten past ten, we’re holding themencement ceremony, there will be a
lot of media. I’m going back to my room to get ready soon, want to tag along? As the scriptwriter, you
should attend too.”
“I don’t really want to be in the limelight, what should I do?” Cornelia patted her stomach.
Hannah said, “If you’re notfortable being in front, you can stand at the back. You’re a newbie
scriptwriter and the film isn’t popr yet, so not many people will notice you.”
Cornelia nodded, “Alright.”
Hannah continued, “Also, Ken doesn’t have the best reputation in the industry. Try to avoid him as
much as possible, besides necessary work contact.”
After the events ofst night and this morning, Cornelia was well aware that Ken wasn’t a good
person. “I remember the lead actor wasn’t Ken before, why the sudden change?”
Hannah replied, “Changing the lead actors right before shooting starts is prettymon. Most of the
time, casting isn’t about the actor’s acting skills or how well they fit the role, but about the politics of
capital.”
“Wasn’t the previous lead actor rmended by the investors of this film?” Cornelia asked.
Hannah said, “You might not know, but our investors have changed. I’m not sure who the new investors
are, but the director wants us to have dinner with them tonight.”
Cornelia sighed, “This industry is even moreplicated than I thought.”
Hannah smiled, “For a neer with no connections, sess is really hard toe by. Just like
when I started, if I hadn’t gotten Steven’s support, I might still be ying supporting roles, or even have
changed careers.”
Cornelia added, “Thankfully, you persevered. Now you can choose your scripts, and decide whether to
shoot or not.”
Hannah shook her head, “You’re too naive to think that. The only reason I can choose now is because
those people don’t know that my backer has broken up with me. If they knew, their attitude towards me
would definitely change.”
“There are fewer and fewer people really pursuing their dreams.” Cornelia sighed.
Hannah agreed, “Yeah, everything is about profits now. The fact that you can enjoy drawing your
comics and not getting involved in the outside fights is quite a feat.”
Cornelia said, “I only take care of the creative content, everything else is handled by Zack and Abby. If
not for them, I’d have to deal with all of this myself.”
Hannah sighed, “Let’s not talk about these things that make us ufortable and we can’t change.
Nelly, if I’m too busy on set, you can let my assistant know if you need anything.”
“Alright.” Cornelia nodded.
Hannah, still worried, reiterated, “Don’t just say it, make sure you do it if somethinges up.”
Hannah knew very well that Cornelia didn’t like to bother others.
