Chapter 134
“Has the director gone nuts? Ditching the best actress for a nobody newbie?”
“How could she ever compare to Fannie!”
“I gotta say, Astrid is just a supporting character next to Fannie.”
“Did the crew get conned or what? Weren’t all the media saying Fannie was the lead in Mystic
Mysteries?”
“Stealing roles? Astrid should just drop dead.”
“Wow, how can Astrid, with that face and acting skill, carry this movie? A good movie is ruined just like
that. Can she even bring in the box office?” “What works has Astrid done anyway? Many A–list
actresses couldn’t bag this role, why is she the exception? Think about it, guys~~”
“Good lord, my idol will get dragged down acting with someone like her, right? A good movie with such
a lead actress, even my idol can’t save it no matter how popular he is!”
The internet was in an uproar, but the protagonist was sound asleep.
The phone rang, but Astrid didn’t stir.
Roman, who was playing outside, ran in hearing the noise, and shoved the phone to Astrid’s ear, NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Astrid, phone!!!”
Astrid opened her eyes to see three words on the screen: Dale.
She answered the phone lazily, “Hello~ What’s up Dale, aren’t we starting production tomorrow?”
Dale: “There’s some negative chatter about you online right now, don’t react, I’ll handle it. Just focus on
your script.”
“Negative chatter?” Astrid sat up rubbing her head, “I’d rather handle it myself than let you do it.”
Dale was speechless.
“Don’t mess around, showbiz isn’t as simple as you think, every word and action of yours can be
magnified or misconstrued. I’m professional at dealing with these things. I’m calling you to make sure
you don’t add to the chaos. After all, if something happens to you, it’s my reputation at stake. You
can’t.. tarnish my gold star manager badge!” Dale said huffily, then hung up.
Astrid smirked lightly, then reached out to ruffle Roman’s hair, “Where’s your dad?”
“Working.” Roman took a sip of his milk and said seriously, “Astrid, you were talking in your sleep last
night.”
“Huh? Sleep talking?” Astrid scooped Roman into her lap, “What did I say?”
Roman stared wide–eyed at Astrid, then whispered, “You said: I’m not going fishing! I’m not going
fishing!”
–“Haha.” Astrid couldn’t help laughing. She was really traumatized by Magee, even dreaming about
refusing to go fishing, “Roman, go play outside first, I
will come out to make lunch for you later.“”
“Okay.” Roman obediently walked out.
Astrid picked up her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Carlos, “Director, can.I have my makeup
test photos?”
A few seconds later, Carlos sent her the photos.
He also sent Fannie’s makeup test photos.
Astrid looked at the two photos, her eyebrows slightly raised.
This director really has an eye for talent. He knew exactly what he wanted and had even handed over
the photos before she asked.
Carlos said, “Fannie also came in to do a makeup test for this role, but the results weren’t ideal. She
looked a bit too old, lacking vitality, so we didn’t choose her at the time.”
