Chapter 478: Praising the High and Scolding the Low
Kevin pressed on, “So, the rumors are true, and you chose to enter into a partnership with Disney?”
"Although not yet, I can't guarantee that I won't have such an idea in the future." Su Lingxi said with a smile, "Of course, at present, I am just a representative producer of Sunrise and co-investing with Disney, that's all."
While the two were talking, Su Lingxi noticed that a young lady not far away was looking over here frequently, as if she wanted to say hello to one of them.
Kevin followed her gaze and asked in confusion, "Is that...Emerson? I don't remember sending her an invitation to tonight."
Olivia Emerson.
Based on Kevin's hint, Su Lingxi easily recognized the other party's identity.
Why did Emerson suddenly come to this party that had nothing to do with her?
It's a bit strange.
Perhaps her gaze stayed on it for too long, and it soon attracted the attention of those around her.
"She looks like she's here to see you," Kevin said, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
Su Lingxi nodded without comment, "Yes, another Emerson."
Thinking of Brandon Emerson, with whom she had worked before, she couldn't help but sigh and gestured to Bertha.
Then, Bertha walked up to Olivia Emerson and said something to a staff member in a polite but firm manner.
Noticing this, Kevin glanced at her subtly, "I don't think it's a good choice to lend a helping hand to her at this time."
"Just because of her breakup press release with Jason Weir not long ago?" Su Lingxi's expression turned cold. "Excuse me, Kevin, we all know who is the real party at fault in this matter, don't we?"
Kevin was speechless.
Jason Weir cheated on his "new love" and abandoned his "old love", so from a moral perspective he should be the one to be blamed.
However, Hollywood is a small society where the strong prey on the weak, and no one dares to use this incident to embarrass Jason Weir, but many people unscrupulously release malice towards Olivia - bullying the weak and fearing the strong, flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak are skills that people in this circle have learned without any instruction.
When Olivia Emerson came closer, Su Lingxi realized that she looked a little haggard. She was wearing a simple black and white dress, her neck was empty, and her brown hair was dull.
Compared to the glory days when she attended the film festival with the crew of "Game Hunter", Olivia's life is obviously not going well now.
"Hello, Olivia, would you like some champagne first?"
"Okay, thank you very much." Olivia Emerson took the champagne and smiled. "In fact, I think you should have noticed that I didn't get an invitation to tonight's party, but for some reason, I couldn't wait to see you, so I had to use some special means."
As she spoke, her expression gradually revealed a hint of bitterness.
Su Lingxi glanced at her with an ambiguous look, "Although it is a bit rude, but... it is understandable."
"You are a very courageous girl."
"But in Hollywood, courage is not as useful as I thought." Olivia sighed. It was difficult for her to observe anything from the calm expression of the popular actress in front of her. The other party's expression management was obviously more perfect than hers. "Nicole, I know you are a professional actor. The reason I came here tonight is just to get a fair audition opportunity for the project of "Blair Witch"..."
To be fair, Olivia's appearance is indeed very suitable for playing the protagonist Blair: slightly dark brown hair, tall and thin figure, and a pair of smart dark eyes.
Putting aside other things, her facial features are absolutely qualified.
As for her acting skills, since Olivia was chosen by Martin Kubrick from dozens of people, she must be pretty good.
"Craig Woolverton is a responsible director." Su Lingxi retracted her gaze and smiled gently. "I can guarantee that he will not exclude you from the audition list, but he will not give you any preferential treatment either. You have to remember that it is your courage that has won you a fair chance to compete."
Olivia bit her lower lip, her eyes suddenly shining with surprise, "Really? Are you really willing to help me?"
"I just said that what helps you is your own courage." Su Lingxi corrected her again, "Whether you can get the role in the end depends on your audition performance."
This surprise came too suddenly for Olivia - before she found out about Nicole's schedule, she had never thought that things would go so smoothly, it was smoother than she had imagined!
After thanking him solemnly once again, Olivia took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and tactfully left the area before Kevin came over.
"Jason won't be happy to see what happened tonight." Kevin pursed his lips and frowned slightly. "Openly going against him will do you no good."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Olivia's miserable experiences in Hollywood over the past month were all the result of Jason Weir's deliberate indifference.
If he had said no, Olivia would not have been in such a predicament of not being able to get any acting jobs.
Obviously, Olivia herself realized this, so she used tonight's party as a breakthrough point to explain her purpose directly and honestly to her.
It has to be admitted that Su Lingxi really admired her courage to step out of her comfort zone and fight for opportunities for herself face to face.
In such a difficult situation, what's wrong with being a little scheming?
"But there's no harm in that, right?" Hearing Kevin's words, Su Lingxi raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Should I be so scared that I dare not say a word when I hear his name?"
They are all A-listers. Ultimately, the only difference is their seniority.
What's more, Jason Weir's previous behavior of "forcing people in" was a temporary trick for her and Greta. To be honest, the other party was in the wrong.
Su Lingxi had enough confidence to say "no" to Jason Weir.
"Of course not, I just think it would be better if you were more cautious." Kevin's momentum weakened when he noticed her displeasure.
Su Lingxi looked at him coldly and said nothing.
Admittedly, it is wise to protect oneself, but if she wants to go higher, in addition to being strong enough herself, she must also help other women stand higher.
A man who has been supported by his family since birth will not understand these things.
