Chapter 533 I Didn't Mean To Hide It From You
Later, Hudson called.
"Eliza, don't worry about the comments online. The netizens only know how to gossip."
"I understand, director. Sorry for causing trouble for you and the crew."
"Don't say that. You're the female lead decided by me and the screenwriter. There must be someone behind this!"
Hearing Hudson's words, Eliza laughed.
Sure enough, everyone in the circle should be able to see that Corrine's sudden move was aimed at her female lead role.
"Director, how are the crew going to respond to this?"
"It's not easy to respond to this. After all, "Twin Flowers" is indeed invested by Mr. Valentine, and the crew was also organized by him. We can't control others' gossip."
Hudson comforted Eliza. "In the future, when you gain more experience, you will know that this kind of thing is very normal in the circle. The crew will issue a statement later. When the time passes, you will use your strength to slap the faces of the audience. That will be good enough!"
Eliza frowned slightly. "This isn't good for the reputation of the crew, is it? In the past, were these kinds of things always ignored?"
"Not really..."
"Mr. Jones, you don't have to hesitate. Just say what you want to say."
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Hudson hesitated for a moment and said, "If it was in the past, as long as the scene of the audition was released, the netizens would shut up. But..."
Eliza understood.
Hudson said that he believed that Eliza was qualified to be the female lead, but in fact, he was still doubtful about her strength.
"Corrine has just won a best actress award recently, so her acting skills are still good. Compared to her, your fame is indeed a little inferior. Her potential relationship with passers-by is much more popular than yours."
What Hudson didn't say was that there was obviously two female lead. Eliza and Roseane would take up the female lead role, but only Eliza was attacked by netizens.
What did this mean? This meant that the netizens still approve of Roseane's acting skills.
Only Eliza. Everyone had only seen her work from some videos and knew that she was good at acting. However, the netizens were still confused about her specific acting skills.
Even Mr. Jones was afraid that Eliza would lose to Corrine, so he didn't dare to show the results of the audition and could only ignore the gossips.
Hudson's action was also to protect Eliza, but to be honest, Eliza was not very happy.
"Mr. Jones, I have a suggestion. What do you think?"
Hudson tightened his voice and said, "Go ahead."
"Why don't we broadcast tomorrow's audition live."
"This..."
"The only thing that can shatter the rumors is not time, but strength."
Hudson was silent for a long time before he asked, "Are you sure? Are you really confident that you can beat Corrine?"
Eliza smiled. "Mr. Jones, if I can't beat her, then I won't take the lead role."
"Good!" Hudson was very excited and his voice became louder. "I like your confidence!"
He had been very worried before and thought that Eliza would definitely not dare to confront Corrine. Now it seemed that she was indeed Mrs. Valentine! She was brave and bold!
After Eliza communicated with Hudson for a while, Hudson excitedly went to arrange the live broadcast auditions for tomorrow.
Eliza turned to look at Beau and Graciana as she put away her phone.
The two of them were looking at her eagerly.
"Eliza, are you sure you want to do the live broadcast?" Graciana asked.
Eliza nodded and walked to the sofa to sit down.
"What, are you doubting that I can't win?"
"That's impossible! Others don't know, but I know. You're so good at acting. You've been praised by the directors many times over the years! Corrine, only knows how to stare and pout. How dare she compare with you?"
Eliza chuckled. "She's the movie queen."
"Who doesn't know that she bought it?" Graciana curled her lips in disdain. "She was lucky enough to pick it up when Roseane was not there!"
Eliza shook her head and made no comment.
Beau pulled her hand and asked softly, "If you've decided, just do it. If you lose, you'll have your husband to back you up."
Eliza smiled and glared at him. "What are you going to do if I lose?"
"Divestment. I will change the director and change the script."
Eliza, "..."
Oh, my. He directly took away the core things of the crew and left a bare outline there. Who was he trying to piss off?
Graciana gave Beau a thumbs-up and said, "Mr. Valentine, you are indeed worthy of your name."
Beau glanced at Graciana indifferently.
"Don't think that by doing this, you can fool me."
Graciana was stunned, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"You and Eliza have been friends for so many years. You know everything about her, but you have been hiding things from her. Do you really think this is good?"
Graciana's face fell. It seemed that she was about to cry.
Eliza immediately patted Beau's hand to stop him from continuing.
Beau paused and stood up with a serious expression.
"I'm going to the study to deal with something. You two can have a good chat."
He stared at Graciana and said slowly, "Eliza values relationship. I hope you won't let her down."
After finishing his last sentence, Beau went to the study.
At that moment, only Eliza and Graciana were left in the living room.
The two of them remained silent, neither of them speaking immediately.
Eliza didn't know what to say and Graciana wasn't ready to explain.
After a long time, when Eliza thought that Graciana would not tell her anything, Graciana finally spoke.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry to me."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Graciana sat up straight, took Eliza's hand, and said anxiously, "You know, I haven't been back for a long time. I once thought that I had gotten rid of that family."
That was why she didn't think it was a big deal if she didn't say it. After all, those things that happened in the past weren't that glorious.
No matter how ambitious Graciana was, she had her own vanity and did not want to be looked down by her good friend.
When Eliza heard that Graciana was honestly expressing her feelings, she immediately became angry and annoyed.
"Graciana! We've been friends for so many years. Do you think I'll be the kind of person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich?"
When she was driven out by the Lawson family and turned from a young lady into the daughter of a drunkard, the difference was not small. But Graciana never disliked her. Instead, she always gave her advice. When she could not hold on any longer, she always encouraged and motivated her!
If it weren't for Graciana, she, Eliza, wouldn't have ended up with what she had today!
"No, no! Of course I know you are not, but I..."
Graciana's tears rolled down her cheeks and her voice was choked with sobs.
She could be good to Eliza, but it was a little difficult for her to completely trust others will be good to her unconditionally.
When Eliza saw her cry like this, she also realized for the first time that Graciana had always been a person who lacked a sense of security.
It was a pity that she had never found it in the past.
"I'm sorry."
Eliza took Graciana into her arms with distress.
