Chapter 293 Selecting Scripts
After the director said okay, Imogen gave the down jacket to Sarah.
Sarah still had a scene in the afternoon, so they had lunch with the crew.
Imogen heard Sarah answering the phone in the car when she delivered lunch for Sarah. It seemed
to be someone from her studio, saying that the investor sent several scripts and asked Sarah to
select.
Among those scripts, Imogen had heard of two scripts favored by the capital, and many actors and
actresses wanted to y a role in them.
The director of one of the scripts partnered with the screenwriter many times and won numerous
awards. They were all well–known and sessful people in the industry. It would be a big–budget
production.
Imogen searched the remaining ones. They were all adaptations of popr novels that had a
certain degree of poprity.
Imogen was surprised.
In the past two days, Imogen listened to the crew chatting with the group actors while resting and
got to know something about the entertainment industry. Those who could select the scripts either
were popr with many fans or had capital behind them.
Sarah originally had many fans but had no work for half a year after returning to the country. And
she was caught in the other woman scandal. Sarah lost so many fans, and Troy didn’t support her
anymore. That was why she ended up ying a small role in this idol drama by the name of special
appearance.
But how could she select scripts now?
Was it because of Joseph?
During these years, Joseph led the Page family to prosperity and had a high social status in New
York City. However, after Troy broke up with Sarah, Joseph stayed away from Sarah. So he
probably wouldn’t help Sarah again, right?
Perhaps Sarah had other investors.
Sarah was calm as if she knew it would happen and asked her assistant to send her the scripts in
the evening so that she could carefully select them.
After the scene in the afternoon, Imogen put on a down jacket for Sarah, went to the dressing room
together, and said casually, “I see from the notice that you have no scene for the next few days
from tomorrow.”
“Well, you and I will go to Sacia City in two days. I have a variety show to attend.”
“Okay.”
“Also, a business party at Elysium is at 8:50 tomorrow morning. You need toe with me.”
Imogen nced at her in surprise. “What kind of business party is at nine in the morning?”
“To meet the director in charge of a project and read the script, by the way. After the reading, we
will have the business party.” Sarah sat down on the chair slowly and nced at Imogen with a
smile. “When the timees, remember to drink for me.”
Imogen knew that after the characters were settled, the crew would usually conduct a reading
together to go over the script and check for mistakes. Sometimes, it could also deepen the actors‘

and actresses‘ understanding of the characters.
She nodded. “Okay, I see.”
After sending Sarah to the car, Imogen said, “See you in the evening“, turned around, and went to
the parking lot.
Sarah looked at Imogen’s back, and a hint of cruelty shed through her eyes.
Sarah became madly jealous when she thought Troy specifically went to negotiate with herst
night for Imogen.
Originally, all of this should belong to her!
Sarah made a call. After getting through, she asked, “Is it ready?”
The man on the other end of the callughed obscenely. “Don’t worry. I have gotten the medicine,
and the camera is set up in front of the bed. Just waiting for her.”
He couldn’t wait any longer to know what Troy’s woman tasted like.
Sarah instructed, “Remember to arrange a few more people at the door, and don’t let her run away
if something goes wrong.”
“Okay.”
Sarah confidently hung up the phone, and a dark light shed in his eyes.
Wasn’t Troy generous? Let’s see how generous Troy could be!
Sarah didn’t believe that Troy could stay calm after watching the video of Imogen having sex with
another man!
At 8:50 in the morning, Imogen appeared on time in the lobby of Elysium.
Within a few minutes, Sarah arrived, called Imogen to go upstairs together, and went to the
reserved box.
There were already several people in the box. All of them were actors and actresses that Imogen
had heard of, and one was a famous, aplished middle–aged actor.
Imogen thought they must be cast members of the project.
Seeing Sarahe in, several people greeted her politely.
Sarah found a seat and sat down.
Silence returned to the box, and the atmosphere gradually became serious.
The middle–aged actor started the conversation.
Although the chat was shallow and casual, it at least broke the awkward and weird atmosphere.
Imogen thought, was this the entertainment industry?
Even if they were colleagues, getting along like normal people was difficult. They didn’t know if they
would have conflicts of interest at some point and be rivals.
At about 9:10, others arrived.
Everyone stood up to greet them.
This time, it was the project director, two assistant directors, and the screenwriter.
Imogen was surprised when she saw them.
One of the two assistant directors was the man in the video Noah sent her. The one who spent
the night at Sarah’s house. Hisst name was Monroe.
Chapter 293 Selecting Scripts
At this moment, Jay Monroe also looked towards Imogen as if he was appreciating a product. The
director was surprised when he saw Sarah. He nced at Jay next to him and said nothing.
The director had a drama, which was in the final stage. He needed to keep an eye on the editing
and dubbing, so the two assistant directors were responsible for the preparatory work and casting
of the new project.
His current crew was next to Douss’s, and he asionally went to visit Douss’s crew. He saw
Sarah acting and thought Douss was too gentle. If it was him, he would not let Sarah pass.
That was right. The director was Stanford Zieger.
After introducing each other, Stanford asked everyone to take their seats.
Only then did he recognize Imogen and couldn’t help but look at Imogen several times. Wasn’t she
Sarah’s stand–in? Why was she an assistant again?
All the actors sat down at the table, each holding a script, and began reading.
Many people knew the script reading was after the characters were settled and before the official
shooting started. The time varied from half a month to two months.
Before the characters were settled, there would also be a reading. And two actorspeting for the
same character might participate together, which was the case here.

That was to say, the crew was still in the casting stage.
But this time, only Sarah came for the second female lead role.
This time, they were reading an important scene. After reading all the lines of the characters,
Stanford was about to ask questions when the middle–aged actor Ludwin Evans raised his hand
and said to the director, “Mr. Zieger, I think Jada shouldn’t say that.”
Jada was the second female character in the script, the sister of the female lead. Sheter broke
with the female lead, went on separate ways from the female lead, and gradually became
unscrupulous.
Although she was a viin, her personality was attractive.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
Stanford put the script on hisp. “Then what do you think she will say?”
“Jada was born at the bottom. She wanted to climb up. Every step she took in the early stage was
full of uncertainties. Here, she should be hesitant. She didn’t know how to choose between her
sister and her career. She slowly became firmer after enjoying the benefits.”
Stanford looked at the script, thought for a while, and suddenly said, “Sarah, you are ying Jada.
What do you think it should be?”
Sarah looked at the director. “From the previous scene, we can see that Jada’s first reaction was
that she could make money. It shows that she was clever, but her bottom line is low. She always
knew what she wanted, so here she should be determined.”
Stanford suddenly looked at Imogen, who was contemting. “Imogen, what do you think?”
