Chapter 326


    Brad tweeting is pretty much admitting he gave the female supporting role to Izabe.


    Brad''s got a bad rep in the industry, being super stubborn and not smooth at all. Once he''d made up


    his mind, no one can change it.


    His fans, who usually had his back, were all confused about what was going on with him.


    Suddenly, fans of the TV show and Ariana''s fans changed their profile pictures to "Boycott Izabe."


    This was the first time in recent years that a female actress had been boycotted on such arge


    scale. But Izabe couldn''t care less. What, were they gonnae through the inte and beat


    her up?


    As for the #Vivian’s Responds trend, it was because Vivian tweeted that she saw Izabe at the


    audition, confirming the rumor that Izabe auditioned for Blood Ties.


    But Izabe auditioned for the third female role, how did she end up "stealing" Ariana''s role?


    People usually auditioned for 20 minutes max, but Izabe spent more than 40 minutes, twice as


    long as others, which made people suspicious. Izabe didn''t just sleep with the director, but with


    the entire production team.


    Reading some of thements, Izabe felt nauseous, even though she had a high tolerance.


    Izabe quickly finished breakfast and sent an apologetic WhatsApp message to Mr. York.


    "Sorry for causing trouble."


    Brad replied quickly.


    "You''re up early, or did you not sleep at all? Don''t worry about the Twitter trend, it''s just a small


    problem. But I''ve put my reputation on the line for you, so don''t let me down."


    Izabe couldn''t help but smile, feeling much lighter. She never liked dodging responsibility and


    would rather face the problem head-on.


    "Mr. York, I signed up for the show ''Here Comes the Superstars.''"


    Brad: "Do you need me to talk to the director of the show?"


    "No need, they''ll jump at the opportunity."


    Indeed, with the current trend, everyone''s questioning Izabe''s acting skills. If she joined "Here


    Comes the Superstars," it would definitely cause a stir, and the show wouldn''t miss out on this


    trending opportunity.


    That afternoon, Graham called Izabe, "The show agreed to have you. Come to thepany this


    afternoon to sign the contact."


    "Okay, I got it." Izabe didn''t bother being polite with Graham anymore and just hung up.


    Graham angrily stared at his phone. He knew Izabe''s acting skills, and joining this variety show


    might actually change people''s impression of her.


    Recently, there''d been nothing but bad news, and it was getting on his nerves.


    Graham clenched his phone, thinking, "Izabe, you better not slip up, or you''re done."


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Unfortunately, luck was on Izabe''s side, and all he could do was curse her to screw up her


    performance.


    "Here Comes the Superstars" was a groundbreaking reality show that presented the entire film


    industry process, from casting to production.


    It had four mentors, Casey, Connie, Gavin, and Dorian, who provided a tform for talented actors


    to showcase their skills and get a chance to work with them.


    The show announced Casey as a mentor, which attracted lots of attention. The show''s poprity


    peaked when it was revealed that Izabe would join.


    "Izabe is a disaster! She ruined the TV show, and now she''s going to ruin this variety show! I don''t


    want to see her!"


    "Did she win the lottery or something? She''s always trending."


    "I just hope Mr. Dempsey doesn''t look at Izabe too much. I''m afraid she''ll pollute his eyes."


    "Can Izabe even act? The show must be crazy to invite her."


    "She won''t make it far!"


    "..."


    Izabe turned off her Twitter notifications. The show informed her that the filming location was R


    City and would start next Monday, so she should prepare in advance.


    Izabe didn''t have much luggage. The hotel was arranged by the show, and she only needed a few


    changes of clothes.


    R City was her home for over 20 years, and she knew where to buy anything she needed. With the


    recent flu outbreak, Izabe bought extra face masks and medicine as a precaution.


    She booked a first-ss flight for Friday at 5 PM. Arriving an hour early to check in, she didn''t wear


    makeup and only had a mask on, with her hair down.


    During security checks, she removed her mask. The staff saw her name and couldn''t help but take


    a few extra nces, as Izabe had been trendingtely.


    It must be someone else with the same name because she looked nothing like the heavily made-up


    actress on Twitter and was way prettier.


    After putting her mask back on, Izabe waited in the boarding area. Once boarding was


    announced, she joined the queue.


    There were four people in first ss, including Izabe. She found her seat and asked the flight


    attendant for warm water and a nket.


    The flight to R City would take about three hours, and she''d arrive around 8 PM.


    Izabe was the first to board the first-ss cabin through the dedicated channel. After lying down


    for a while, she took out her phone and checked Twitter. Her name was still trending, along with


    #Here Comes the Superstars and #Casey.


    Izabe casually clicked on the trending topic about Casey, which was about his recent itinerary.


    Casey was flying from J City to R City today to record "Here Comes the Superstars."


    Before Izabe could react, she heard some movement behind her. Her gaze nced over and


    then locked in ce.


    Casey''s itinerary was always kept secret. Fans only knew that he was flying to R City today but


    didn''t know the exact time. Despite this, it still caused quite a stir, with fans waiting at the airport


    before dawn.


    Unfortunately for them, Casey''s disguise skills were too strong, and he boarded the ne through


    the dedicated channel without drawing their attention.


    He didn''t like having too many people around when he traveled, so he only had his agent with him.


    Casey entered the entertainment industry two and a half years ago. His first movie after bing


    famous was a grand m. His outstanding acting skills and handsome appearance attracted


    countless fans.


    While other stars who became famous at the same time as him were still exploring how to act, he


    reached the peak as soon as he became famous.


    In just two years, he had acted in three movies, each with a rating of 88 or above.


    When others thought he won awards because of his handsome appearance, he relied on his


    strength, which was very strong. As long as he starred in a movie or TV series, it couldn''t be bad.


    His movies had strong appeal. The first low-budget movie reached a box office of 2 billion. The


    second movie''s box office doubled to 4 billion because of the rating of the previous one. Thetest


    movie''s box office had reached 5 billion, and the box office index was still rising.


    No one knew about his family background to this day, which meant he had a strong one. For


    example, he might be one of the children from wealthy families who can inherit billions of assets if


    they can''t survive in the entertainment industry.


    In summary, Casey was like a gifted male protagonist living in a novel.


    The agent happily followed him and sat down in his seat, "Mr. Dempsey, Mr. Hackett is preparing a


    movie recently. He contacted mest night and said that the male lead is reserved for you. I took a


    look at the script and thought it was good, with a high pay. Do you want to take a look?"


    "What type of movie is it?"


    "Fantasy."


    "I won''t take it."


    "Why?" the agent was puzzled.


    "Domestic fantasy scripts are okay, but the special effects are not good. Besides, Hackett is not


    suitable for making fantasy-themed movies."


    This is a problem that exists in the domestic market. The investment amount for movies is fixed, but


    most of the money is spent on hiring actors. The remaining money can''t produce good special


    effects, so the result is perfunctory.


    "You say he''s not suitable, but you haven''t even seen it. Hackett''s reputation has soared this year.


    He just won an award recently, and many people want to work with him. And do you know how


    much they''re offering for the pay?" The agent held up three fingers.


    Casey sneered, "I''ve seen Hackett''s movies. They''re too rigid, and he only won awards because of


    his peers. Don''t defend him. I never look at the pay when I take a movie."


    The agent sighed helplessly, "Half of this year has passed. If you don''t take any movies, there won''t


    be any movies starring you next year. Do you want your fans to wait for one or two years for


    nothing?"


    Any agent would like an obedient star, and Casey''s high pay meant a higher bonus for him.


    Other agents envied him for having a money-making star, but only he knew that he was just a flunky


    who can''t influence Casey''s thoughts, not even as good as an assistant.


    He muttered, "I don''t know why you''re participating in a variety show. It''s such a waste of time."


    In the entertainment industry, there was a chain of discrimination: stage actors look down on movie


    actors, movie actors look down on TV series actors, and TV series actors look down on variety


    show participants.


    Casey nced at him, the corners of his mouth raised as if smiling, but it gave off a fierce feeling.


    The agent immediately shut up, very flustered.


    Casey didn''t like being controlled, but ironically, he himself was controlled by the Dempsey family.
