Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311

Meanwhile, Bella’s manager, Wein, was quite worried about Bella participating in World Peace. After Bella fell into the water last night, Keegan showed up and gave her a script. The script was not World Peace, but a show called The Tea Merchant. This show was similar to The Palace, which was produced by Daniel. It was also a show about a strong female lead. The Palace was about conspiracies in the palace, while The Tea Merchant, as the name suggests, was about the story of a tea merchant.

In the story, the female lead went from being a maid to ward off bad luck for her husband, to the mistress of the family and finally becoming the tea merchant of the generation. Truth be told, the character design had even more emotional values than the female lead of The Palace. It was a show where the audience could empathize with the female lead as they watched her grow throughout her journey. However, Bella rejected it because she felt that the production team was from a small company, the scriptwriter was not famous enough, and the director used to produce literary films. Despite the fact that the movies had received some awards, they were always just good movies with a small audience.

Bella started off with clout, so she was accustomed to paying attention to the numbers. She wanted to act in The Palace because Daniel had guaranteed statistics and quality. In contrast, The Tea Merchant did not have a background. It was the typical award-winning type of show, which was not the type of transformative work that she wanted.

The Tea Merchant was going to start filming at the end of the year. It would have to wait until next year’s summertime for it to be released. Bella’s contract termination with Neon Nebula was imminent. In addition to that, she did not have any impending work currently. If she accepted The Tea Merchant, her screen time would be entirely open, aside from a few offers from variety shows. For Bella, an actress who depends on clout, the inability to maintain exposure on the big screen was extremely dangerous. That was because the entertainment industry was always full of newcomers. Bella would not have dared to leave such a large gap on the big screen because the clout would have been heavily divided.

World Peace, however, was a different situation. The production team was comparable to The Palace. Along with that, the work itself had fame. It would start filming this month and take three months to finish. By the end of the year, it would be on air. The pay was also three times higher than The Tea Merchant. Most importantly, the release date clashed with The Palace. When that time came, they could fight to make an impact on ratings. Bella had faith in her prime-time ratings.

Daniel had the guts to reject her, so she would not let go of The Palace so easily. Therefore, she turned down The Tea Merchant and chose World Peace. After finding out about Bella’s stunt, Wein was indignant. Bella claimed that she wanted to change, but she was unwilling to give up her clout. She knew about the controversy of World Peace, yet she still participated. She paid no attention to maintaining her reputation.

At this point, there was nothing Wein could do. He bought hot searches and continued directing the war of plagiarism toward the author so that Bella could escape the mess. The official lineup of World Peace went on trending soon after some fans deliberately interrupted. All the trending searches were compliments about the lineup. The fans would fight off any comments about the plagiarism, saying that the show had nothing to do with the source material.
