    Chapter 676 The Critics Would Show You No Mercy


    Skr felt mentally unfettered as well, but when she touched her own neck, it suddenly urred to her


    that Tobias previously professed to prefer having her wear her hair loose. She was thus unsure as to


    how receptive he would be toward the hairstyle that she had right now.


    The production crew had already arrived at the office where Skr went on to showcase her new


    hairdo; Sharp and refreshing, bold and beautiful, she exuded the rarefied air of a queen.


    In ordance with the earliest scripting, she signed off on the traveling contract in front of the


    cameras. It was when sheid an eye on the articles appended that she realized that Saorise was to be


    the guide on this current team.


    “Have you ever traveled abroad in the past?” asked the production team''s director.


    “No, I''ve been too busy and couldn''t squeeze it into my schedule, so I''m looking to take this as an


    opportunity to unwind,” replied Skr with a subtle smile.


    Initially, she was not too observant and thought this to be no more than a passing question from the


    director until she learned that this would be included as part of a segment that was to be featured in a


    She felt something amiss once she studied the director''s expression more closely. There was a hint of


    sympathy in thetter''s eyes, as though she was a child born into poverty, soon to have her life


    transformed through a move to the big city.


    Everyone in the industry knew about her humble beginnings and rags to riches story, but Skr hated


    making ys to garner pity.


    If not for the deliberate exposé concerning Miranda''s role in the breaking up of Thomas'' marriage, she


    would never have delved into her own past in such gory detail.


    Just before they wrapped up for the day, she overheard the director say, “Have you tied down the


    schedule on Saorise''s end? I heard that she visited Beskary every year during her schooling days. That


    reminiscence of youth is something we can really highlight then.”


    Seated by the long table, Skr listened in as she twiddled her fingers absentmindedly.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    While other people got to go overseas for vacations every year during their schooling days, she had to


    ride out from home before dawn to save on transportation.


    There really was noparison between the fortunes of different people.


    After Skr saw the production team out, she felt the lightness of her own head. While she fondled the


    hair that did not even reach her shoulders, she was left with a sense of insecurity and an inexplicable


    feeling of emptiness.


    Conversely, Kate was rather pleased with the haircut she got this time.


    “Let''s get you some publicity for it.”


    What, is she going to start a corny hashtag like “Short Cuts for Skr”? On second thoughts, Skr


    figured that she would rather pass on such an awkward headliner. Isn''t there anything more


    newsworthy? This is probably not even good enough to get me roasted with.


    She had no desire to achieve fame for its own sake because online poprity had nothing to do with


    actual talent. Besides, it tagged her as an actress.


    “''The Bad of 1978'' is set to be aired soon. The director decided he wants itunched during the


    festive period and there''s nothing we can do about it.”


    Skr understood what Kate meant, and that was to be mentally prepared to be cannon fodder—


    The sacrificialmb in the box office war of the holiday films.


    She had kept a keen eye on sneak peeks for “1978” as well. Bereft of surprises, it was as abysmal as


    she had anticipated. Since the box office returns would determine the order for the film''s screening,


    “1978” would likely be ced at the midnight time slot, which meant that the movie would not even get


    to see the light of day.


    Skr chuckled. “Wasn''t pinning too much hope on it anyway. I''d be a happy camper just to see it


    surpass those children''s movies, at least.”


    Seeing how overtly optimistic she already was, Kate was averse to dealing Skr another blow.


    Judging from these subpar results, it may be hard to outdo the children''s movies as well.


    She had some regrets about letting Skr sign on for this production. Although the script looked fairly


    decent when they reviewed it, the incongruous plot development that tranted to film had caught her


    Seldom had she misjudged as badly as she did, and it was unfortunate that Skr wound up bearing


    the brunt of it.


    It was a different story for Amelia''s “Pretty Detective.” Almost a full house for its sneak preview


    screening, the feedback for the film had been positive by andrge and it generated at least one billion


    at the box office.


    “You have to make the best of this reality show appearance. Don''t let yourself be overshadowed by


    Saorise, but don''t show off either because that could backfire on you. You can be sure that the critics


    won''t have mercy on you,” Kate said.
