Initially, there were two dramas, one for each person.
Now that Hattie's out, she's starting to grab Zelena's role.
So these are so-called fake best friends.
The Moon Belongs to You, and The Legend of Blind Detective were blockbuster dramas.
However, the probability of winning awards for the former was much lower compared to The Legend of Blind Detective, and their starting points and paths were also quite different.
In Violeta's memory, she didn't recall whether The Moon Belongs to You was nominated for any awards.
But undoubtedly, after Hattie snatched Zelena's role, Zelena wouldn't be able to join the crew anymore.
In the previous life, Violeta recalled that Hattie debuted before Zelena. This seemed to align with the current situation.
Zelena couldn't possibly compete with Hattie.
With Hannah behind the scenes, Zelena would likely be replaced without surprises.
It would be fine if she had to pay compensation after signing the contract. With Hannah's connections, sorting out such matters would be trivial.
Ironically, Zelena had previously staged that drama in front of Hattie.
After putting on such a show of kindness before, now that her role has been taken, was Zelena going to confront Hattie? Wouldn't that expose her true nature?
Even though Zelena was furious, after careful calculation, she realized she couldn't afford to fall out with Hattie.
For one, this role was secured through Hattie.
Secondly, Hattie could still be helpful to her in the future.
Thirdly, since her role was taken, Hattie owed Zelena a debt of favour. Zelena would seek to reclaim this favour in the future!
Who would have thought what started as a conflict between Hattie and Violeta hurt Zelena?
Who could Zelena turn to for justice now?
But right now, neither Hattie nor Zelena knew that Violeta was the person behind suppressing the script.
...
A week later.
Due to the last-minute casting change, The Moon Belongs to You was delayed and will start filming this Wednesday.
Hattie went back early to prepare.
Zelena ended up with nothing and continued attending classes at school, visibly crestfallen.
Violeta showed no remorse whatsoever for inadvertently hurting Zelena. After all, they were all in the same boat.
...
On the weekend.
Niall asked someone to contact Wade about his next film.
Two days ago, some progress was finally made. The news came from Wade's assistant, who mentioned that Wade had no long dramas. Still, he did have a completed short drama script spanning seven episodes.
