Chapter 177
Everyone in the room fell silent at his words.
No one dared to breathe, not knowing what Weston really meant. Was that a casual question, or did he have an opinion on that?
There was nothing Bradley hadn’t seen before in the entertainment industry, not to mention the many corporate leaders who often sucked up to him.
He was deemed a cash cow, with most of his shows garnering critical acclaim and raking in the big bucks at the box office. He could guarantee them millions in returns, which certainly made him someone they had to woo and please,
Weston, however, was different.
Given his status and position, there was no need for him to bow to anyone.
Bradley asked, “Mr. Ford, you are here today for…?”
He had a kind and warm smile on his face, in stark contrast with how he lost his temper on set earlier.
Weston looked at him. “Director Lane, since when did you become interested in casting non professionals in your movies? I thought that with your high expectations, you would set your standards a tad higher.”
His tone was rather flat, and it was difficult to tell the hidden meaning behind his words.
Bradley knew that it was tough to try to guess what Weston meant by that, and so he decided to be frank instead, “Ms. Cohen probably told this to you before; ‘There was one female actress previously in the cast whom she was not happy with, as Ms. Colien felt like she did not manage to capture the essence of the supporting role. We are about to fly overseas for framing, and we must decide on the actress for this supporting role before we do that. We don’t have much time left, and we couldn’t find anyone suitable. Coincidentally, Ms. Steele brought Ruby over for an audition, and I found her look and aura very suitable for the role, which is why I got her to try out a scene.” He paused for a moment and explained to Weston, “Mr. Ford, don’t worry. Given my professional eye for detail, I won’t let a lousy actress act alongside Ms. Cohen.”
