Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

In short, for various reasons, making a good TV show was truly an uphill battle for them. 

When Ruth recommended Becky to her, she felt an undeniable spark of excitement. 

The story behind the production of Lovey Princess was already the talk of the town within the industry. Outsiders might not understand, but those in the know knew that Lovey Princess turned out so well due to its lead actress, Becky. 

Because Becky had money, looks, and talent. 

Her wealth allowed her to invest in the production, freeing the crew from financial constraints and enabling them to achieve top–notch costumes, props, and makeup. 

Having money also meant avoiding the meddling of various dubious investors, which prevented random casting and script changes, marking half the battle 

won. 

Becky’s good looks and acting skills allowed her to portray her character flawlessly. Coupled with the hard work of others, as long as the initial script was solid, success was almost guaranteed. 

The initial script of The Empress was outstanding, and in Vicky’s eyes, nothing short of perfect.

If their crew could find an actress like Becky, who had money, looks, and acting prowess, Vicky was confident their show would be a hit. 

However, Becky’s acting skill was Vicky’s primary concern. 

Charlotte’s character was a far cry from Elizabeth’s naive and sweet persona. Could Becky really handle such a drastic change in role? 

Due to this concern, Vicky hesitated to cast Becky as the lead and reached out to Becky’s agent, Lynn Fox, to arrange an audition for the role instead of directly offering it to her. 

To her surprise, while waiting for Becky’s response, the agent of the renowned actress Janet unexpectedly approached her Janet had taken a liking to their show and wanted to play the lead role of The Empress. 

Vicky couldn’t believe her ears. How did Janet even hear about their show, let alone

She would have jumped at the chance without a second thought if it were in the 

past. 

Having an award–winning actress on board would almost guarantee a hit or, at the very least, moderate success. The chances of the show tanking would be next to 

none. 

However, this time, after her initial excitement, Vicky quickly remembered her prior engagement with Lynn. 

She calmed herself and realized she couldn’t afford to offend Lynn. 

She had reached out to Lynn first and promised to give Becky time to consider. She had to wait until Becky made her decision before moving forward. 

Otherwise, wouldn’t she be stringing Lynn along? 

Everyone in the industry knew Lynn’s influence and standing, so Vicky had to tread carefully, stalling for time as best as she could. 

Despite her cautious approach, Vicky couldn’t help but secretly hope. 

What if…Becky really had the chops to pull it off? 

If Becky could indeed nail the role of Charlotte, giving her the lead wouldn’t be such a bad idea. 

Although Janet was a great actress, her reputation left much to be desired. 

Everyone online was talking about Becky and Charlie and whether Becky was. really Charlie’s biological sister. 

But amid all that, they seemed to have forgotten Janet’s old scandal. Rumors about her having a child with Theodore outside of marriage. 

Few people noticed that a key detail was revealed in Becky’s recent news splash. Becky and Theodore were married and welcomed a set of twins last year. 

So, Becky and Theodore were a married couple with twins, but what about the child Janet had last year? What was Janet’s relationship with Theodore? 

These were all potential time bombs visible to insiders. Who knew when they

might explode, causing an uproar? 

Casting Janet as Charlotte posed significant risks. It might even turn into a major blemish in production. 

Of course, rumors couldn’t be taken at face value. News about actors was often nine parts fiction, one part fact. One day, the narrative might change, saying Janet’s child wasn’t Theodore’s and she had no connection to him.. 

However, they had to consider those risks now and make the most appropriate risk assessments when casting the lead. 

When Vicky received Lynn’s message that Becky could come to audition the next day, she was thrilled and eagerly anticipated Becky’s performance. 

The next day, Stacey followed Lynn to the set. 

Vicky, waiting for a long time, greeted them and led them inside for the audition after introductions. 

She handed Becky three short scenes to perform. 

Stacey had read the original work and studied the script, so she knew exactly how to perform those scenes when the director presented them. 

Over the next half hour, Stacey performed all three scenes in one go. 

When Stacey finished, Vicky was stunned. She stared at Stacey in amazement, and after a moment, she snapped out of her daze, jumping up quickly. Rushing over to Stacey, she started to lift her hand in excitement but then remembered something and promptly turned back. 

Vicky hurriedly fetched her bag and pulled out a contract. Returning swiftly, she handed it to Stacey and said, “Becky, your performance was incredible and perfectly suited for Charlotte. How about we sign the contract right now?” 

Previously, Vicky’s highest expectation was for someone to capture a fraction of Charlotte’s essence from the original novel. The show’s success was almost guaranteed if they could manage even half 

But just now, she felt as if Charlotte had come to life. 

Becky’s performance was spot–on.
