Chapter 183 We're All Ordinary People
Colin described love too inscrutably.
It was a challenge for Robert, who had been single for twenty-seven years, to understand.
As Colin finished his words, Robert stared at him blankly with a complicated expression.
Robert just thought that he had not fully understood.
After Faye returned to her office, she immediately took out her phone and called Mr. Ford to talk about Fanny's matter.
When Mr. Ford heard Faye wanted to recommend Fanny for his new TV drama, he was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he said, "Ms. Nash seems to be close with Fanny privately?"
Faye replied honestly, "I just admire her talent as an actress."
Mr. Ford hesitated for a while and replied, "Ms. Nash, to tell you the truth, although I haven't decided on the leading actress for my TV drama, I have no plans of using a an absolute beginner."
Faye said, "I can understand."
Hearing Faye's tone wasn't displeased, Mr. Ford secretly let out a sigh of relief. Then, he said, "Fanny is indeed good. She's hardworking and motivated enough. However, she has a fatal flaw. She is not recognizable enough.."
If an artist wanted to stand out among the vast entertainment industry, he or she must have their own distinguishing features.
An artist that didn't possess any distinguishing features wouldn't be remembered by the audience.
Even if they performed well in TV dramas, they might end up in situations with the drama becoming famous instead of themselves.
Just like Fanny, she actually had acted in a few TV dramas before. She had also acted in a few good roles. She was generally acknowledged to have potential, but she had never been famous.
Often, she would turn popular when the TV drama was being broadcasted. However, when the show ended, she would become unknown to the public again.
Faye had expected this result before calling Mr. Ford. So, she wasn't disappointed. She smiled gently and said calmly "Do you have time during the afternoon, Mr. Ford?"
Mr. Ford replied with a smile, "Is there something wrong, Ms. Nash?"
Faye smiled, "I would like to invite Mr. Ford for some afternoon tea."
Mr. Ford was well aware of Faye's intention.
However, Faye had a prestige identity. Since Mr. Ford had rejected her earlier, it wasn't great for him to refuse again, "How about three o'clock in the afternoon?"
Faye glimpsed at the watch on her wrist and answered, "Okay."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Faye drove to Mr. Ford's filming set.
When Faye arrived, Mr. Ford was auditioning actors.
Faye opened the door and got out of the car. After nodding slightly towards Mr. Ford, she stood aside to wait for him.
After Mr. Ford had finished the audition, Faye stepped forward to say hello.
Mr. Ford smiled back at Faye and took out his phone to look at the time. He apologized, "It's almost four o'clock. I'm so sorry, Ms. Nash."
Faye said, "Mr. Ford is already giving me a favor by providing me some of your time out of your busy schedule. I cannot be too greedy."
Mr. Ford laughed, "It's soothing to chat with someone like Ms. Nash."
After chatting for a while, Mr. Ford got into Faye's car.
Faye didn't play virtual set with Mr. Ford. She asked about his new TV drama humbly.
On one hand, Mr. Ford admired Faye's personality and ability. On the other hand, he scrupled about Faye's relationship with Colin. Therefore, in response to Faye's questions, he told her everything he knew.
Faye had mild social anxiety. So, she was good at listening to others.
Faye said, "Mr. Ford, have you thought about this before? Being an ordinary person might become her greatest characteristic. After all, in this world, most of us are normal people."
Mr. Ford was sunk in his thoughts when he heard these words.
Faye set her gaze onto Fanny, who was curling up and shivering in cold. She smiled, "I saw the epitome of most ordinary people in Fanny. They're working hard to make a living. They try to move forward and are desperate for success. However, what they finally get is only surviving."
Faye said it calmly.
Her tone wasn't hurrying, and she wasn't forcing Mr. Ford to accept Fanny.
Mr. Ford listened quietly, and after a while, he said, "Let her come to the audition tomorrow!"
Faye smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Ford, for Fanny."
Mr. Ford smiled with his head shaking, "Let's make things clear. In terms of public persona, you have to make one for her. The audience won't remember her if she isn't standing out. It would be useless even if I gave her this opportunity."
Faye replied, "Thank you for Mr. Ford's advice."
After sending back Mr. Ford to his crew, Faye met Fanny in the evening.
Fanny was staying in the hotel arranged by the crew. She was having her takeaway when Faye arrived.
Faye told her what happened during the afternoon. Rex, who was sitting aside, widened his eyes, "Ms. Nash, why don't you inform us beforehand? What if Fanny fails to perform well? We might lose the chance!"
Faye looked at Rex, "If she couldn't seize this opportunity, that would only mean she isn't working hard enough."
Rex was speechless.
Fanny blushed when she heard Faye's words, "Ms. Nash."
Seeing Fanny being embarrassed, Faye said calmly "Fanny, I'm only responsible for recommending you. As for whether you succeed or not, it all depends on you. If you want to walk far and do well as an actress, you need to have a down-to-earth attitude. You need to always be in your best state like how you are today in the play. You need to be a talent first before being discovered by benefactors."
