Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264 Elaine Bryant
He had not expected to meet Annie Anne during this social engagement.
After all, he was fully aware of what the investor wanted, and he had also experienced what kind of temperament Annie Anne had. At that time, he found himself in a dilemma and later contacted Annie Anne’s agent, and the two had a long discussion.
Fortunately, Annie Anne relaxed her stance and came to the engagement.
"Producer Zhang really troubles me."
Annie Anne slightly pursed her lips and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Compared to the producer’s enthusiasm, the director greeted Annie Anne very formally with a nod.
Afterward, Annie Anne subtly glanced over the items prepared on the table and then asked.
"Besides the investors, will any other actors from the cast be coming later?"
The producer gestured for Annie Anne and her company to sit down. Upon hearing her question, he nodded, then spoke, "There’s another actress from our crew coming."
Annie Anne nodded in realization: "Another lead actress?"
Hearing this, the producer turned his gaze to the director beside him, but the director did not react, indicating that he could continue.
"For now, it’s decided she’ll play the second lead. The other female lead is still being selected through continuous auditions."
Annie Anne’s gaze flickered. Although that was previously stated, the implication of the words suggested that if a suitable main actress isn’t found before filming begins, the current second lead might just become the main actress.
However, once they started discussing the script, the producer became quite interested, and they resumed their earlier conversation with a few more exchanges.
It wasn’t long before the door was opened again and this time a tall woman entered, her makeup very bright. She scanned the room the moment she entered and then bowed politely towards the director and producer.
"Sorry, Director, Producer, there was some traffic on the way, so I was delayed."
As she bent down, the plunging neckline of her dress revealed a sudden glimpse of cleavage. Annie Anne glanced at it then quickly diverted her gaze, accidentally making eye contact with her agent beside her.
Annie Anne raised her eyebrows and signaled her agent with her eyes.
The agent clenched his fist and forcibly suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
While they exchanged looks, the actress had already greeted the director and producer, and her agent had started chatting with the director.
"Teacher Annie."
The next second, the actress turned her attention towards Annie Anne and called out.
Hearing this address, Annie Anne transformed her inwardly bored expression to one of surprise, and then hastily looked up at the actress in front of her.
She finally remembered who this person was.
Elaine Bryant, originally a model before switching to acting, had some fame but lacked a breakthrough opportunity.
However, since her debut, she had participated in relatively large productions of TV dramas and movies.
What surprised Annie Anne was that she hadn’t landed the role of the main actress in this drama but was only the second lead.
Moreover, seeing how her agent was chatting with the director and producer, she did not seem like someone who was content with being second.
Everyone in the entertainment industry has some ambition.
Looking at Elaine Bryant in front of her, Annie Anne thought that the perfect curvature of her smile must have been measured with a protractor.
