Signing an autograph, taking pictures, chatting about the filming process, and a bit of insignificant gossip regarding renowned celebrities.
This was what Stephen and Tiffany proceeded to do. Stephen would not pay any ordinary fan the time of day for this, let alone during the premiere. As the main cast and the director, Stephen had a lot of things to do.
However, Tiffany was different. From Jasper’s introduction just now, Stephen understood that it was worth it for him to leave everything else aside to talk to Tiffany.
Tiffany was elated as she continued to ask Stephen more questions.
“Alright, Tiff. Let them get to work, there’s always time to talk more after this is all over,” Jasper told Tiffany.
Tiffany nodded obediently and gave Stephen an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Steph, I was too excited. You don’t need to fuss about me, don’t let me hold you back from what you need to do.”
‘I wouldn’t dare.’
Stephen thought with a wry chuckle and waved Tiffany off. “You don’t have to call me Steph like other people. I know I’m much older, but you can call me Steve if you’d like.”
Stephen glanced at Jasper carefully when he said that. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Jasper neither agreed nor disapproved.
The simple minded could not possibly make a name for themselves within a hellishly difficult place like Harbor City’s entertainment industry.
Stephen might have a more withdrawn and cold character, aloof even, but he knew how to read the room.
Jasper was currently his biggest source of support, and the man gave him more than just the 10 million US Dollar investment.
Upon witnessing the hyped advertisement of Monastery Soccer in both Harbor City and the Mainlands after it was filmed, Stephen understood Jasper’s power in the entertainment industry.
More importantly, the Mainlands market! The Mainlands’ film industry had a strict review process.
It should have been extremely difficult for Monastery Soccer to air in the Mainlands, but thanks to his connections with Easy Media, the review was easily passed and done with.
Other directors in Harbor City envied Stephen greatly because of this.
