Chapter 149 Cannon Fodder Strategy
"What's more, this is a different film from 'Destiny Fragrance', and it's not a big-budget. Those famous actresses are not willing to play in it, and those who are willing to act are not good at acting. Lauren doesn't care about the budget and only values the content of the script. Few actresses can be like her."
After he finished speaking, he sighed, and Clarissa didn't know what to say.
After a while, Anderson added, "Actually, Lara has been contacting me recently, saying that she wanted to participate in this play and she was also very interested in the leading role. But I don't trust her very much because of her scandals."
"Although she is pretty, and she should be better than others if we dress her up, but I don't believe her. I am afraid that she will be implicated in a scandal halfway through the shoot, and the consequence will be bad."
Clarissa was slightly startled.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Does Lara want to play this role?"
Freddie said, "Yes. To be honest, although my friend is a new director, he is quite capable, otherwise I wouldn't help him. So there are still many people who want to act in this film, but we can't find someone suitable."
"If we really have no other choices, Lara will be a good choice. Although she is tainted with scandals and her reputation is not very good these days, many people pay attention to her. As long as she can perform well, maybe she can redeem her reputation."
"After all, this is just a small-budget production. If it were in the past, it was impossible for us to invite a famous actress like her."
Clarissa lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, I see. If it's convenient, can you send me a copy of the script? I'll answer you tomorrow."
Freddie was taken aback, and didn't know what she meant by saying this.
But he didn't ask much. He just agreed and then hung up.
Clarissa drove home. As soon as she entered the house, her phone rang and she received a new email.
She clicked it while changing her shoes. It was the electronic version of the script sent by Freddie.
Anderson arrived home a long time ago. He knew that she would go shopping and eat with Lauren that day, so he didn't disturb her.
By this time, he had finished his meal and was working in the study.
Clarissa changed her shoes and went upstairs. Instead of looking for Anderson, she went straight back to the bedroom.
She turned on the compute and read the script sent by Freddie very carefully from beginning to end.
The script was not long. After all, it was only an 18-episode online TV drama. But she spent a lot of time reading it because she watched it carefully.
When Anderson came out of the study, he saw her sitting in front of the computer and looking at something with concentration, so he didn't bother her.
Unexpectedly, after he had a shower and came out, he found that she was still sitting there with rapt attention.
He glanced at the clock and found that it was 12 o'clock at night. Then he frowned.
"What are you looking at?"
Clarissa was reading the script with rapt attention, and she was startled when the deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from behind.
When she turned around and saw Anderson, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, nothing. It's just a script."
"What kind of script? Do you have to read it now?"
As Anderson said this, he bent down, reached out and clicked the mouse, and then he immediately saw the name of the script.
The name was "Cannon Fodder Strategy".
Anderson raised his eyebrows. Clarissa's face blushed as she explained with embarrassment, "It's just a tentative name, and it should be changed later. Well... this is the script of a small-budget online TV drama. I take a look at it first."
Anderson smiled coolly, "Is it worth reading such a script till so late?"
As he said, he deliberately pointed to the pointer on the watch.
It was only then that Clarissa realized it was already so late. "Oh." She said and had to agree reluctantly.
At the same time.
In the Chapman family.
Lara called Freddie.
Although it was late, for people who worked in the entertainment circle, it was not late at all, and it was pretty early.
Freddie was naturally no exception. He was a well-known night owl. He just got out of the hotel after discussing the project with a producer and received a call from Lara.
"Lara, what's the matter?"
Lara squeezed the phone nervously with a smiling face.
"Director Jordan, I heard that you're looking for a leading actress for a script. Is that right?"
Freddie narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he knew why Lara called him, he said in a dilemma.
"Yes, but the director is one of my friends, not me. He has just entered the industry and has no experience..."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the script is good, it doesn't matter who is the director."
Freddie smiled.
"Oh, did you call my friend?"
Lara got mad when she heard this.
The new director was called Alvin Leslie. He was not famous, but he had a bad temper.
No matter what, she was a famous actress. Although she was tainted with scandals, she still had huge fan bases.
He should be glad that she was willing to act in his play, but he actually refused her!
He was simply ungrateful!
However, Lara had no other better choices for the time being. She had always been picky about scripts, and the role in this play was the more suitable for her.
Moreover, she learnt that Alvin was Freddie's good friend, and Freddie was the producer, which meant that this must be a good play.
Although it was an online TV drama, online TV dramas were very popular these days, and maybe she could use this chance to redeem her reputation.
Thinking of this, Lara took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and smiled, "I called him, but Director Leslie doesn't seem to know me very well. I am not familiar with him, so I can't talk much with him. Director Jordan, you know me. What happened last time was really an accident, and I was wronged. I hope you can give me a chance. I will definitely perform well and will never disappoint you."
To be honest, Freddie was actually a little tempted.
After all, according to Alvin's character, if he couldn't find a suitable candidate, he might delay this drama.
People in the world thought that he was picky about choosing actors, but that was because they didn't know Alvin.
He was talented. If it weren't for being too picky, he wouldn't have been lesser-known.
He was middle-aged, but he was still a new director.
Thinking of this, Freddie sighed.
He wanted to help Alvin, so he said, "I'll discuss this with him! If possible, I will call you again."
He had almost agreed.
Lara finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Jordan."
"Okay." Freddie didn't talk much with her and hung up the phone.
Early the next morning, he went to find Alvin.
Alvin set up a small studio by himself, but it was more like his own small workshop.
He was so poor that he couldn't afford to buy a device, and he shot by renting devices. He was really living a hard life.
