Chapter 1031
The crew around her also tumed their gaze towards Celeste due to the remark
Generally speaking, in this industry, when someone says an actress has a backer, it often implies she’s trading her body for roles and resources.
After all, those from prominent families choose to enter the entertainment industry are a minority
If an actress is not lucky enough, it’s extremely hard to land a big production right from the start without someone backing her
So, when Sydney made that comment, many people believed it
Even if she herself doesn’t want to, there are many ways to force her to comply as long as someone in this industry takes a fancy to her
In fact, among the crew, there have always been rumors about Celeste and Mr. Garcia of Skyline Media Group
Every time Celeste was filming. Mr. Garcia from Skyline Media Group came to visit from time to time. He claimed it’s because he’s concerned about his artist. But his gaze didn’t linger on Sydney, who had the most commercial value, but always on Celeste.
Once, during a conflict scene, a male actor squeezed Celeste’s wrist too hard, turning & red. Mr. Garcia didn’t say much, but his eyes looked as if he was about to
tear the guy to shreds.
During Sydney’s previous hospitalization due to shock, it’s said that Mr. Garcia only went once to handle public relations and never went again.
Such double standards inevitably make people question their relationship
So, when Sydney said Celeste had a backer, everyone naturally thought of Mr. Garcia from Skyline Media Group Sydney’s resentment comes from the differential treatment by Skyline Media Group
Competition among artists is common.
Celeste glanced back at her, and suddenly laughed
Sydney was baffled by the laughter and frowned, “What’s so funny?”
Celeste shrugged, “I don’t think I’m doing that well, only ranking third in ratings. But it’s kind of funny to be envied by the person who’s number one. I mean, it’s my first time seeing someone doing well being jealous of someone doing worse. If I didn’t know better, I’d think number one can’t beat number three
Sydney’s face turned sour What a sharp tongue she has.
“All I did was making a joke. Don’t get upset, Ms. Campbell.”
Celeste raised an eyebrow. “I’m not upset. You’re complimenting me, I should be happy.” She paused, then continued. “If we’re talking about backers, Sydneys backer is even more powerful. I remember Sydney’s first drama was with the hottest male actor at the time, and the strongest production team. That drama’s ratings, if 1 remember correctly, were the highest in the past decade for a historical drama, a record that still stands unbeaten.”
Hearing Celeste mention her backer, Sydney was initially a bit pissed, but when she heard how well Celeste knew her achievements, she immediately felt smug.
The more Celeste knew about her, the more it meant she cared about her presence.
Making her feel uneasy made Sydney feel pretty good about herself
She gave a slight smile. “Ms. Campbell, you know so much about me. Did you look it up yourself or did someone tell you?”
