Later that night, Javion called.
"Lottie, you don't have to worry about those rhythmic comments online. The netizens don't know the truth at all."
"I know, director. I caused trouble for you and the crew."
"Don't say that. You are the heroine who was decided by me and the screenwriter. Someone must have incited netizens to attack you today!"
Hearing Javion's words, Lottie laughed.
Sure enough, everyone in the entertainment industry could be able to see that Rubby's sudden actions were to compete with her for the female lead.
"Director, how will the crew respond to this?"
"It's not easy to respond to this. After all, The Twins is indeed invested by Mr. Chapman. The production team was also built by him. But we can't control others' gossip."
Javion comforted Lottie. "After you experience too much in the future, you will know that such things are very common in the circle. The crew will issue a statement later, and then you can prove yourself with your strength. That's all!"
Lottie frowned slightly. "Isn't this not good for the crew? Did they always keep a low profile when dealing with this kind of thing in the past?"
"No..."
"Javion, don't hesitate. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Javion hesitated for a while and said, "If it were before, as long as the screen of the audition had been released, those netizens would have shut up. But..."
Lottie understood.
Although Javion believed that she could be the heroine, in fact, he still doubted her acting ability.
"Not long ago, Rubby had just won the movie queen, so she was good at acting. You really can't compare with her in terms of position, and she has more fans".
Javion didn't say frankly. Lottie and Natalia had both accepted the female lead, but only Lottie had been attacked by the netizens.
This showed that the netizens approved of Natalia's acting.
Only Lottie. Everyone had only seen her work from some videos. They knew that she was good at fight scenes, but the netizens were still confused about her acting skills.
Therefore, director Heron was also worried that Lottie would not be able to win against Rubby, so he didn't dare to make the audition public. He could only keep a low profile.
Javion's way of doing this was to protect Lottie, but to be honest, Lottie wasn't very happy.
"Director Heron, I have a suggestion."
Javion suddenly felt very uneasy and said, "Go ahead."
"I think tomorrow's audition can turn into a live broadcast."
"It..."
"What can break the rumors is not time, but strength."
Javion was silent for a long time before he asked, "Are you sure? Are you really confident that you can win Rubby?"
Lottie smiled. "Director Heron, if I can't beat her, then I won't play the female lead."
"Okay!" Javion was very excited, and his voice became louder. "I like your confidence!"
He had been very worried earlier and felt that Lottie definitely wouldn't dare to confront Rubby head-on. Now, it seemed that she was indeed Mrs. Chapman! She did have courage!
Lottie talked to Javion for a while. Then Javion happily prepared to arrange the audition for tomorrow's live broadcast.
Lottie put away her phone and turned to look at Ralph and Connie.
They were staring at her.
"Lottie, are you sure you want a live broadcast?" Connie asked.
Lottie nodded, walked over to the sofa, and sat down.
"Yes. Do you think I can't win?"
"How is that possible! I know how good your acting skills are. Over the years, you have been praised by the director a lot! Rubby's poor acting skills are no match for yours."
Lottie chuckled. "She's the movie queen."
Lottie didn't know what to say, but Connie didn't know how to say at all.
After a long time, it was so long that when Lottie thought that Connie would not tell her anything, Connie spoke first.
"I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Connie sat up straight, took Lottie's hand, and said anxiously, "You know, I haven't been back that home for a long time. I once thought that I had gotten rid of that home."
That was why she didn't think it was a big deal if she didn't say it. After all, the past was a shame.
Connie wanted to protect her self-esteem and did not want her good friends to look down on her.
Hearing Connie's confession, Lottie was both angry and annoyed.
"Connie! We've been friends for so many years. Do you think I'll look down on you?"
When she was driven out by the Green Family and changed from a young lady to a drunkard's daughter, the difference was huge. But Connie had never looked down on her. Instead, she had been planning for her. When she was about to give up, Connie had been encouraging her!
If it hadn't been for Connie, she wouldn't have such a day!
"No, no! I know you are not, but I..."
Connie's tears rolled down her cheeks and her voice was choked with sobs.
She could be good to Lottie, but it would be a little difficult for her to believe that others would be good to her unconditionally without any burden.
Seeing her crying like this, it was also the first time that she realized that Connie had always lacked a sense of security.
Unfortunately, she had never discovered it.
"I'm sorry."
Lottie took Connie into her arms with pity.
