Chapter 556 Spreading Rumors
Evelyn was never a fussy artiste, and she also knew that it was not easy to be a screenwriter. As long as it didn't go against her principle, she wouldn't want to make any change to the screenplay.
But she was a little worried about one thing.
Thinking of this, she asked, "My last series is a suspense drama too, and now, I'm taking a role in a suspense movie. Wouldn't it be repetitive?"
Damien had thought about this as well.
The scriptwriter gently explained, "That's not quite the same. First, the previous one was a TV series whereas this is a movie. It was very different in nature."
"Moreover, although the plot of this movie is of the mystery genre, it is actually a comedy. Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a comedy. Compared with the series you filmed before, there is a huge difference in style, so it's unlikely to be a repetition."
Hearing this, Evelyn felt relieved and nodded.
"I see. I'll talk to my manager later."
Damien nodded and agreed. Then, everyone went back to discuss the screenplay.
Since they were working on two projects back to back together, the relationship between Anthony and Evelyn, of course, needed to be carefully dealt with.
Therefore, after dinner, it was obvious to everyone that Anthony had been paying extra attention to Evelyn, almost a little too much.
She thought that it was because she and Anthony were partners that he was acting like this, so she didn't think much of it.
Everyone at the table was all easy-going people. Now that they had decided on the male and female leads and were happy, they had a little more drink.
Under such a cheerful atmosphere, Evelyn was in a better mood too. Therefore, she also drank a lot during dinner.
She was not a good drinker. Hence, she was already a little drunk at the end of the dinner.
When Damien saw the situation, he was worried to let her leave alone, so he sent someone to inform her assistant to come over.
Carrie was still in the private room of the crew. When she heard that Evelyn was drunk, she hurried to pick her up.
Then only Carrie realized Anthony was there as well.
She was a little surprised. It was no wonder the director, the male lead and the female lead were not there with the rest of the crew even though it was a wrap-up party for the series.
It turned out that they were all here.
At this time, Damien had already sent away several other investors and the screenwriter, leaving only Anthony and Evelyn in the room.
Evelyn's personality did not change much after being drunk.
Evelyn wasn't a crazy drunk as she was still able to maintain her composure. She was leaning against her seat, dozing off.
Therefore, when Carrie came in, she saw Evelyn leaning against the sofa, with her eyes closed and her cheek flushed.
As for Anthony, he was sitting right next to her.
"Evelyn, she is..."
They had been working on the set together for three months. Carrie had almost been by Evelyn's side all the time, so Anthony knew her.
He looked up and saw Carrie coming in. He quickly explained with a smile, "Evelyn is drunk. She must be asleep now. Can you drive? If you can, I'll send you down now."
Upon hearing that, Carrie quickly shook her head.
"No, there's no need to trouble you. I'll help Evelyn down by myself."
Anthony smiled and said, "I'm afraid you've underestimated the weight of a drunk person. Although she's not heavy, it won't be easy for a skinny person like you to carry her down. You'll be making a fool of yourself if both of you fall together while carrying her."
As he spoke, he had already helped Evelyn, who was lying there, to her feet.
Carrie thought about it and felt that what he said was right.
Besides, over the past few months on the set, she knew that Anthony was not a bad person and had always taken good care of Evelyn. Therefore, although she was a little concerned about their identities and was worried that there would be rumors about them, it was better to have him help her down rather than someone else. So she did not say anything.
Carrie thanked him politely. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Anthony didn't say anything. He held Evelyn in her arms and gestured at Carrie to lead the way.
Carrie led them to the underground parking lot.
Anthony helped Evelyn to the underground parking lot and helped her get into the car. After reminding the driver to drive safe on the road, he said to Carrie, "She was in a good mood tonight, so she drank quite a lot. I feel bad for not holding her back. After you go back, you must remember to get her something to drink, or she will have a hungover tomorrow."
Although Carrie felt that the way that Anthony was so concerned about Evelyn was a little weird, she didn't think too much about it as they had been working together for the past three months.
She merely nodded obediently. "I understand. Thank you, Anthony."
Anthony smiled, indicating that they could get into the car and leave. Only then did he turn around and walk towards his car.
At this moment, somewhere in the dark, they didn't know, there were sounds of camera shutters.
It was not until Evelyn's car left that Anthony got into another car and left that the cameraman left.
The next day.
Evelyn was still asleep when she was suddenly woken up by a phone call.
She frowned with dissatisfaction and picked up her cell phone in a daze before she pressed the button to answer.
Marissa's angry voice came from the other end of the line.
"Evelyn, what's going on? Didn't Anthony and you go to the wrap-up party last night? How did you get such a photo?"
Evelyn had not fully woken up yet, but she just answered in a daze, feeling a little confused.
She asked subconsciously, "What photo?"
Marissa found out that Evelyn was still sleeping at such a late time. The Internet was in chaos, but she, as the main subject, was almost unfazed. As her assistant, Marissa seemed to be even more anxious than her.
Knowing that there was no way that she could vent her anger, Marissa said angrily, "And you still dare to bring it up? 'What photo?' Get up and see it on the Internet! Call me when you are done seeing it and report to me what happened yesterday in detail!"
After that, Marissa hung up the phone.
This time, Evelyn finally woke up.
She frowned, sat up from the bed, and opened Twitter on her mobile phone.
As soon as she tapped on Twitter trends, she saw her name was the No. 1 trending topic.
She was slightly taken aback. When she clicked on it, she saw that it was about the gossip between her and Anthony.
The headline was very eye-catching: "Famous actress Evelyn Hussain's late-night date with the Prince of Rock and Roll, Anthony Perry. They are allegedly seeing each other."
She went blank for a second and scrolled it down.
There was a photo in which Anthony had helped her to the underground parking lot last night. She was already drunk at that time, but she still had some vague memory of it.
Although Evelyn didn't remember much, she remembered that nothing had happened between Anthony and her. Anthony was being kind to help her to the car when he saw her drunk.
She didn't expect that the paparazzi would capture such a trivial matter, spreading rumors like this.
