Chapter 30: Special Treatment
Although she wasn’t late, all the directors and other models were there when Blanche Capra arrived on set: she was the last to arrive.
“I’m sorry, director, I’m really sorry for being a little late with some things on the road.” Although she wasn’t late, as a newcomer being the last to arrive was no different from being late, Blanche Capra apologized sincerely.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, since you’re here let’s start filming.” The director smiled gently, not looking at all like he had once sarcastically commented on her lack of strength before.
“You and everyone else haven’t started filming yet?” Blanche Capra was a bit surprised, usually one wouldn’t wait for a newcomer when the big names and directors were all here, unless …
Blanche Capra smiled sarcastically, York Charlie’s influence was really big, only came to pick her up once and these directors immediately changed their faces towards her not to mention that they were treated very differently.
“Oh, quickly go and get ready. It’s also easier to film when all the people are here.” The director’s attitude became more and more gentle.
Blanche Capra was sarcastic about their snobbish ghosts in her heart, but she wore a smile on her face, “Thank you director, I’ll go now.”
Luckily, Blanche Capra didn’t make any mistakes in the filming after that, and it went smoothly all the way to the end of the filming.
Blanche Capra was just about to leave when she heard the director call out to her with a pleasing smile on his face. In her heart, she said to herself: “If you don’t have anything to offer, you’re either a crook or a thief, I don’t know what the hell this director is up to.
“Blanche ah, come and sit down. Do you have something to do after work later?” The director came over and asked with a smile.
“It’s not much of a big deal, are you up to something?” Blanche Capra looked at the director like this and knew that he had something, but he stammered again, it was really Blanche Capra who couldn’t see past it, anyway, if you say it sooner or later, why do you have to deliberately make people anxious like this?
“Eh, Blanche, you sit down first. Since you’re not in a hurry, let’s talk slowly.”
Seeing Blanche Capra sit down as instructed, the director only then reopened his mouth, and he smiled with a rather embarrassed smile, “It’s like this. I have a contract here now. I haven’t found a suitable company to sign with yet. It just so happens that I’ve been watching the Charlie Group moving into the entertainment industry these days, so I thought …”
With that he made a ‘you know what’ face towards Blanche Capra, “See if you can talk to Young Master Charlie and ask him to … ”
“Director, I don’t know Young Master Charlie well. I’m afraid I can’t convince him. I’m sure your contract is great, are you still worried about finding a suitable signing partner? Young Master Charlie’s place I really don’t have much to do with him. I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.”
Blanche Capra knew that the director had called out to her that it wouldn’t be anything good, but he didn’t expect that it would be to ask her to help find York Charlie to sign the contract. Joking aside, she wasn’t close enough to York Charlie to beg him for favours!
For this kind of thing, if she went to beg York Charlie now at this kind of time, wouldn’t it make York Charlie really think that she cared about his money and that she was close to him just for his power and current wealth?
Then what was she doing refusing York Charlie’s request to make herself his personal assistant? Wasn’t that a slap in the face to herself? Of course Blanche Capra had to say no.
“Blanche, don’t be so modest. It’s all over the news now. You’re on the verge of being one of THE Charlie family’s youngest grandmothers. If you don’t have a relationship with Young Master Charlie, who else can say they have a relationship with him? Besides, everyone saw Young Master Charlie picking you up on set that day. You shouldn’t be modest anymore.” The director immediately retorted back.
Blanche Capra was at a loss for words, she was now unable to say anything even if she had a mouth, she couldn’t say that York Charlie did that on purpose that day, and that he wanted to poach himself to go over to be his personal assistant, right?
“Director, I …”
“Blanche, I know all your concerns. Don’t worry, I won’t be able to spare you the benefits of signing this contract. As long as this contract can be signed successfully, I will give you enough resources to ensure that your talent can be fully revealed.”
The director thought that Blanche Capra was unhappy that she was not getting benefits before deliberately taking Joe, and made a promise. Sparing no effort in coaxing Blanche Capra, he hoped she would agree.
“Look at you now, the talent is there. I can tell just from the last few days of shooting. The creativity is great too. The reason why you’re not a hit yet is because you don’t have the resources or the platform for you to show yourself and for others to notice you. As long as you can sign this contract, we’ll immediately have a channel for promotion. Are you still worried that ‘no one recognises wine in deep alleys’? If you ask me …”
Blanche Capra bristled at the unknown person who had called her underpowered and mediocre in talent just the other day. Now that you’ve seen her useful she’s instantly a wistful person? It was simply ridiculous.
She wanted to refuse. But looking at the director as if he did not agree, he will not stop look really feel difficult. What’s more, in the future under him to make a living more days, in case this time do not agree, he later to his own eye medicine how to do? Just like the last time when it was clear that he was not at fault, but he was still able to say that he was not strong enough in front of so many people, giving himself a hard time.
Just thinking about this Blanche Capra felt annoyed.
It’s just a matter of just coping with the promise first, and then when the time comes, just say that York Charlie didn’t agree to it. For the moment, let’s just muddle through.
“Alright then, I’ll give it a try. However, I can’t guarantee that York Charlie will agree.” After the director droned on and on finally explaining all the benefits he would get if he signed on, Blanche Capra finally agreed to give it a try.
The director was immediately ecstatic, and the lines on his slightly aged face were so big that Blanche Capra couldn’t bear to look at him.
The director had no idea. He took a copy of the contract out of his bag and shoved it into Blanche Capra’s hand, “This is a copy of the contract and the proposal is also in there, you can let Young Master Charlie take a look at it. Blanche, I’ll leave this contract to you.”
But Blanche Capra stressed again and again, “Director, I’m just trying. I’m not sure, I still don’t know if York Charlie will say yes or not.”
“What kind of relationship do you two have? As long as it’s what you say he’ll have a reason not to say yes?” The director smiled a wide smile, as if he had already seen York Charlie’s name signed on the contract, even the tone of his voice was very confident. He thought Blanche Capra was just being self-effacing.
It was then that Blanche Capra realized that she had some regrets: shouldn’t she have said yes just now? If he gave the director so much hope at this time, then I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be possible to say “York Charlie didn’t agree to sign the contract”.
If he really did so, I am afraid it would be even worse than not agreeing in the first place. The director might think that he was deliberately teasing him!This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
