Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 730: Who Are You to Me

Sloane Hawthorne was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

When she laughed, her eyes shone with a dazzling confidence, like a piece of uncut jade beginning to reveal its value.

"Yes, I’ve gained a lot. Asa Carter is a director who pays great attention to detail, often focusing on the nuances."

Discovering flaws and highlights from subtle details is Asa Carter’s forte.

And through this collaboration with Asa Carter, Sloane Hawthorne has gained a lot of acting experience.

Selena Kensington nodded slightly. "That’s great. In the future, when you work with other top directors, it’s also good to absorb their experience."

At this moment, Hugh Kensington walked over, holding a file in his hand.

"Take a look at this, it’s the tentative schedule for the two of them going forward."

After saying this, Hugh Kensington handed over the file.

Previously, because Selena Kensington was recovering at the main residence, Hugh Kensington usually handled these matters himself.

Today, Selena Kensington happened to be at Stardust, and Hugh Kensington coincidentally was thinking about this matter, so he instinctively wanted her to take a look.

Selena Kensington did not decline and took the file directly to read.

"... Has ’Desire Gorge’ been scheduled?"

After glancing through, Selena Kensington suddenly asked.

Hugh Kensington nodded. "Yes, it’s slated for the Spring Festival release."

Hearing that ’Desire Gorge’ would be released during the Spring Festival, Selena Kensington was startled for a moment. Then the corner of her lips curved slightly. "The Spring Festival slot, huh. Looks like Asa Carter has some big ambitions..."

The Spring Festival slot is a time when major high-quality films compete fiercely, and it’s also the most lucrative period of the year.

The fact that Asa Carter has arranged for ’Desire Gorge’ to release during the Spring Festival reveals his intentions, which Selena Kensington had already guessed.

Hugh Kensington nodded in agreement with her. "Yes, he wants to compete for an award at next year’s Vista Film Festival within The Empire."

The Vista Film Festival is the most prestigious and widely recognized film festival within The Empire.

Because the Vista Film Festival is backed by The Empire’s Ministry of Culture.

Therefore, no one questions the films selected by the Vista Film Festival, and it indeed never disappoints. The award-winning films each year are highly rated, and each one is a masterpiece.

Upon hearing this, Selena Kensington looked at Sloane Hawthorne. "It seems Asa Carter is very confident in this film. Make sure your schedule is clear before the release to collaborate with Asa Carter on the promotion."

Actually, even from just reading the script, Selena Kensington felt that Asa Carter deserved to win an award at the Vista Film Festival.

’Desire Gorge’ contains a lot of profound meaning that will leave viewers with endless reflections.

Selena Kensington is very willing to cooperate with such a masterpiece.

"Okay."

Sloane Hawthorne nodded obediently.

Selena Kensington continued flipping through. "... ’Who Are You to Me’? You’ve signed up both Annelise and Sloane?"

’Who Are You to Me’ is a variety show where partners collaborate to complete various tasks.

Due to its novel games and high playability, coupled with interactions between celebrities, it had surged in popularity recently, topping the variety show ratings.

Its popularity has remained high ever since.

The key to the success of ’Who Are You to Me’ is that there is no script. The celebrities who participate can form teams freely, without having to latch onto others’ popularity.

They emphasize the playability of the variety show, and the screen time given to each celebrity is relatively fair.

As a result, the participating celebrities are harmonious and friendly, without any behind-the-scenes conflicts over screen time or attention. They play the games earnestly, and the audience enjoys watching it.

Hugh Kensington sat down on the sofa beside them and began to analyze for Selena Kensington. "Annelise’s training over this period is almost sufficient. I plan to let her make her official debut through this variety show, and by teaming up with Sloane, it would also dispel the rumors about the two of them."

Since Annelise Mayfield joined Stardust, some rumors started spreading externally.

After all, Annelise Mayfield’s talent witnessed by the audience in ’Star of Entertainment’ was evident to all. Although she lost to Vivian Sutton in the end, Annelise Mayfield was a pure newcomer who had never learned any acting. Achieving such results was already commendable.

Additionally, Annelise Mayfield’s eyes seemed to speak, infusing emotions into them, prompting many top directors to have thoughts of collaboration.

Rumors in the media suggested that Annelise Mayfield would become the next Sloane Hawthorne.

Currently, Sloane Hawthorne is at the peak of her career, with Stardust seemingly pouring most of its resources into her.

Most collaborations with renowned brands and Stardust’s projects eventually end up in Sloane Hawthorne’s hands, making Stardust’s intention to groom her into a star quite obvious.

Thus, the media speculated whether Annelise Mayfield joining would take away some of Sloane Hawthorne’s resources.

Though Sloane Hawthorne is currently popular, her debut was just over a year ago. She has some way to go before becoming a truly experienced ’mentor.’

Now, with a newbie emerging who matches her talent level, the media started speculating whether there would be a day when these two newcomers would clash over resources.

Hugh Kensington knew what the media was saying but did not intervene to stop it.

Because these media ’stirs’ were perfectly helping Stardust increase the buzz around Sloane Hawthorne and Annelise Mayfield.

Hugh Kensington plans to have Sloane Hawthorne and Annelise Mayfield participate together in this variety show, thinking the timing is right, and those so-called rumors should be shattered.

"Great. This variety show will air in a week. Take some time during this period to familiarize yourselves with it."

Selena Kensington nodded in full agreement.

After she finished speaking, she handed the file back to Hugh Kensington.

After returning the file, Selena Kensington looked towards Annelise Mayfield and Sloane Hawthorne.

Sloane Hawthorne seemed calm, but Annelise Mayfield appeared somewhat nervous.

"What’s the matter?"

Selena Kensington asked with concern.

"... It’s nothing... just that after hearing you talk, I suddenly feel a bit nervous."

Annelise Mayfield, although always firm in her heart to pursue Roxanne Sutton’s initial dream,

also truly loves and enjoys being on stage, as her earnest attitude in ’Star of Entertainment’ can attest.

So when the moment of her actual debut suddenly arrived, it was natural for Annelise Mayfield to feel a bit anxious.

Selena Kensington softened her voice, speaking more gently. "It’s okay, you don’t need to fabricate a persona for yourself. Just be your true self; the audience won’t dislike the real you."

"If you really don’t know what to do, just try to stay close to Sloane. She has more experience than you."

Perhaps it was the comforting tone in Selena Kensington’s voice that soothed Annelise Mayfield’s nerves. After hearing her words, she felt less anxious than before.
