Chapter 503 Shooting A New Series
But Jeffrey still felt upset over how decisive and blunt Evelyn was.
But there was nothing he could do. Evelyn had made it clear from the very beginning, hadn't she?
At the thought of this, despite the pain in his heart, Jeffrey changed the topic.
"How did you catch a cold?"
He was just asking her out of concern as a friend, so she probably would not refuse him.
That was how Jeffrey consoled himself.
Evelyn frowned. She didn't want to explain the ins and outs of this matter to Jeffrey.
After all, it involved Marty, as well as her own private affairs.
She did not want reveal it to anyone easily
Seeing that Evelyn was in a dilemma, Jeffrey also didn't want to make it difficult for her. Instead, he laughed and changed the topic. "That's all right. You just need to take care of yourself. Do you have any other work arrangements?"
Evelyn glanced at Jeffrey indifferently and said, "You should ask Marissa this question."
Marissa was suddenly called and let out a squeak, before she came to her senses.
She coughed dryly, thought for a moment and answered, "After Evelyn recovers, I plan to let her continue her previous work, and then she will have two new series to film. It's all thanks to you, Evelyn has her hands on a few quality projects."
Jeffrey was not used to Marissa's politeness.
He felt helpless about this, but he couldn't say anything.
Evelyn drew a clear line between business and private affairs. Marissa, as her manager and best friend, naturally, he could not put Marissa in a difficult position. So, Jeffrey could not say anything about this.
It was just that...
Looking at the indifferent expression on Evelyn's face, Jeffrey felt a little upset.
However, he did not have a chance to show it.
Looking at Evelyn calmly, Jeffrey asked Marissa in a soft and gentle voice, "Which series is it? Who's the director?"
Marissa checked the record on her phone and said seriously, "It's Wes Olsen's 'Pieces of Mountain and River'."
"Wes? And is that the popular screenplay?"
Jeffrey frowned and looked a little troubled.
"What's wrong?" Marissa sensed that something was wrong and quickly asked.
Jeffrey shook his head and said hesitantly, "In fact, the screenplay itself is not an issue. It is based on a popular novel on the Internet, and it has a women centric plot in a historical war setting. It will be a challenge Evelyn's acting skills, and it could also be a transformation in her acting career."
Evelyn and Marissa looked at each other and nodded.
What Jeffrey said was right.
Before that, Evelyn mainly acted in contemporary romance dramas and some insignificant romance dramas. Although she had won the best actress award once, it was not one of those prestigious awards that was widely-recognized.
Nonetheless, that didn't mean that Evelyn was not good at acting.
But that year, when Evelyn had just started her career, she had taken part in a lot of B-rated dramas. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't profess any superb acting skills.
After that, Evelyn's acting skills had been improved a lot, but she still couldn't stand out among the veteran actors and actresses who had made their comebacks one after another.
It was also because of this, although Evelyn had very few scandals and her acting skills were relatively good, the Netizens' impression of her was still not very good.
The series, "Pieces of Mountain and River", because of its complexity of the plot, was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to prove herself to the audience. It could potentially win her a best actress award in the future.
On the Internet, its popularity was not low as well.
Not only the netizens had a heated discussion on it, but more importantly, the series itself was a sequel to another popular series.
And that popular series was aired before the New Year and it had made quite a splash.
With the support of the fans of the previous drama, as long as Evelyn's acting was tolerable, Marissa was confident that she could make it through the bottleneck of her career.
On the other hand, Jeffrey didn't think it was a good opportunity for Evelyn.
This made both Evelyn and Marissa a little puzzled.
Jeffrey sighed and explained helplessly, "You've been in the show business a little bit late, and you don't know the catch in it. The director of this series, Wes Olsen, is a distant relative of Melodie, and he is quite close with her."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Evelyn immediately understood.
So it had something to do with Melodie...
She lowered her head, furrowed her brows, and began to contemplate the pros and cons of taking up the job.
After what happened to Marty last time, Melodie would probably hate her to the core.
If she knew at this time that Evelyn had taken part in a series where her distant director was the director, she would definitely go to him and speak ill of Evelyn.
But now she really needed an opportunity to prove herself. As for Melodie, if Evelyn was really capable herself, would Melodie be able to do anything to her?
It was said that a good wine would need no bush. With her current reputation and capability, she didn't believe anyone would be able to make things difficult for her with regard to her work ethics.
If there really was such a day, it was only because Evelyn was disappointing herself.
Thinking of this, Evelyn raised her head and looked at Jeffrey adamantly. "It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of Wes making things difficult for me. If I let it get into my head, I can only say that I'm not being professional enough."
Hearing what she said, Jeffrey knew that Evelyn had already made up her mind.
He sighed and nodded. "Since you really want it, then go ahead. But you have to be careful. Wes could be overprotective over someone he is close with sometimes. Therefore, he may make things difficult for you because of that. You have to be mentally prepared."
Evelyn shook her head with a smile. "It's okay. They are clueless about me, but you know me. It's just a small issue. It shouldn't be a problem for me."
Jeffrey laughed and said, "I'll give you that." After saying that, he tucked Evelyn in and got up to leave. "Then I'll go first. You should watch out for yourself."
Evelyn waved at him and said, "Be careful on your way back."
After Jeffrey left Evelyn's room, she looked at Marissa and said, "Tell the sponsor that I can start working again in three days. After I finish my work at hand, don't take up any jobs for me. Get a copy of the script. I need to study it carefully."
Marissa nodded and said, "Okay."
At the same time, Melodie found Wes.
Wes was the director of "Pieces of Mountain and River", and he was also Melodie's distant uncle.
Melodie was not much younger than Wes, only ten years younger. As such, Wes had always been very close to her. He would even tease her occasionally, saying that she was not like his niece, but his younger sister.
It was evident how close the two were.
This time, to tell the truth, he was very surprised when Melodie asked to see him.
Ever since Melodie and Marty had been together, she had been distancing herself from him, which made him feel very helpless.
But Wes also knew that Melodie was not deliberately ignoring him, but was obsessed with Marty.
