Chapter 294 Counterplot
“What?”
Imogen, whose name was suddenly called out, was taken aback momentarily and looked up puzzledly. And she saw everyone staring at her.
Imogen tried her best as an assistant to pretend she was not there, but why would the director ask for her opinion?
Wait. The director seemed to know her?
Stanford asked again, “How do you think Jada should react here?”
Seeing the director’s serious expression, Imogen thought about it carefully, “I haven’t read the script, so I don’t know the general plot. From the perspective of an audience, Jada would lose the meaning of this character and become normal among all the villains if Jada was full of utilitarianism from the beginning. I think the audience may prefer the plot in which a kind person is forced to become bad under the oppression of life. In this way, the character of Jada will be vivid. It will be a better experience.”
Villains, forced to become villains, tended to be more pitiful and make people feel sympathetic than normal villains. They could also reflect the actor’s acting skills.
In the past, there were several successful roles in films and television dramas where people were forced to become villains. It was also a mutual achievement between the actors and the
characters.
Imogen added, “Of course, this is just my opinion. It depends on the director and screenwriter.” Stanford nodded lightly. “Don’t be too modest. You are right. The meaning of Jada is this. She and the heroine were good friends but went their separate ways. It is an attraction. Otherwise, why was she the heroine’s best friend?”
He also discovered the problem here, but Ludwin brought it up before him.
Stanford glanced at Ludwin appreciatively. His expression was complex when he looked at Sarah again.
If it went as Sarah thought, the character of Jada would be fragmented or even collapsed, turning into a villain with no features.
Sarah’s complexion changed slightly. She gave Imogen a ferocious stare and clenched the script tightly.
When Jay heard Imogen talk calmly, his heart felt more nervous, and he couldn’t wait to fast–forward to the lunch.
The screenwriter spoke out, and several people discussed changing Jada’s lines in this part.
It was noon in the blink of an eye.
After reading another scene, Stanford glanced at the time and closed the script in his hand. “Okay, let’s stop here today. I will inform you when the next reading time is decided.”
“Yes.”
“Sorry to trouble you.”
They all responded.
Jay glanced at Sarah inadvertently and said, “Let’s have lunch together before leaving. I will ask the waiters to serve the food.”

“I will

go.” A young actor’s agent stood
The young actors competed for the third male character, and another young actor was
participating in the reading who competed for the same character.
When they read just now, each of them read for one scene. Stanford did not express his decision. clearly. Both of them thought they still had a chance.
Other actors and their assistants also stood up and said, “Let me go.”
Jay said, “You all sit down. I will go. We have ordered, so just sit down.”
He went out for a while and returned within a few minutes.
The waiter served the dishes on the table. Stanford said a few words, and someone started talking about proposing a toast. Everyone raised their glasses.
They drank a lot, and few of them were serious about lunch. You flattered me, and I flattered you. At this time, the young actor’s agent pulled the young actor to start toasting. First to Stanford and other main creators, then to Ludwin, the settled male lead. After toasting to the actress for the heroine, it was Sarah’s turn.
Sarah smiled and gave Imogen a look. “Sorry, I feel sick to my stomach recently, so I won’t drink.”
Imogen picked up the wine glass, clinked it with their glasses, and said, “That is polite. I will toast to you on behalf of Ms. Page.”
Imogen drank it all in one gulp as she spoke and showed them the empty glass.
Another young actor also started toasting for fear that he might be competed out. And Imogen drank on Sarah’s behalf.
After drinking this glass, the other actors toasted. They all spoke to Sarah and drank with Imogen.
After drinking with the actress for the third female lead and the actor for the second male lead, Sarah and Imogen toasted at the table to everyone.
After toasting to Stanford, Sarah filled Imogen’s glass and nodded to Jay. “Mr. Monroe, please take care of me when we work together next time.”
“I will drink it on Ms. Page’s behalf.” Imogen raised her wine glass and touched Jay’s glass.
Jay smiled and said, “Of course. We will make a big hit next year if we work together.”
Imogen didn’t know if it was her illusion that something was wrong with how Jay looked at her.
Drinking one after another, Imogen felt a fire burning in her stomach, and her cheeks were flushed with alcohol. Her eyes were moist, and she gradually couldn’t see clearly.
After toasting to the last actor, Imogen felt dizzy.
Imogen sat down, put her hands on her forehead, and leaned on the table. She lowered her head in silence and looked very uncomfortable.
She used to socialize a lot when she worked and could drink a lot.
But this time, she didn’t drink much and felt dizzy, with an unbearable heat radiating from her body.
Sarah asked with concern, “Imogen, are you okay?”
A sentence flashed in Imogen’s mind. If someone was polite to you out of nowhere, this person was going to use you.
Imogen suddenly became alert and tried to make her mind clear. “I am fine. I will go to the

bathroom.”
Imogen stood
up
with her hands holding on the table and staggered out.
After Imogen walked out, Sarah smiled and said to Stanford and others, “She is staggering. I had better check on her.”
Stanford waved his hand. “Go ahead. You can send her back home.”
“I will ask if she needs that.”
