Chapter 1148 Empathy with Capital
These overly possessive and privacy-invading fans were simply terrifying. Everett only realized that there really were such fans after becoming a agent.
But now was not the time for Everett to sigh about these things. He had to hurry to the lounge; he couldn't afford to offend Heather after making her wait so long.
Inside the lounge, Heather glanced at her watch.
'It has passed fifteen minutes. Changing clothes takes fifteen minutes? That's really something.' Thinking about it, Heather stood up, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave. 'Although Caspian has talent, looks, and strength, poor character is still unacceptable. I have also heard some gossip that Caspian is very arrogant. He has disdain for the powerful people in the entertainment industry. He prefers to work alone. If he is willing to bow his head to gain resources in the entertainment industry, he might have been famous by now. It seems that Caspian is too proud to associate with powerful people like me.'
Heather opened the door, ready to leave.
Just then, a tall person in a black hoodie walked to the door, about to knock. It was Caspian.
Heather stepped aside, and Caspian walked in.
Heather, upset about Caspian being late, didn't speak first. She sat on the couch, legs crossed, one hand on the back of the couch, her slender fingers tapping lightly.
Caspian spoke, "I'm sorry for being late. I got blocked by some fans."
Heather understood immediately; it must have been obsessive fans. If they were normal fans, Caspian wouldn't look so upset. Even under the bright lights, he seemed gloomy, like wearing a raincoat but still getting soaked.
"Alright, I happened to come to your concert today. I really appreciate your talent. Since you are currently not signed with any company, I came to discuss potential future cooperation. I hope I'm not taking up too much of your time." Although Heather had a high reputation and status in the industry, with top-tier actress like Natalie under her wing, she didn't put on airs and spoke gently. But she also wouldn't let herself be easily bullied.
"What are the terms?" The opportunity to work with Dynamic Entertainment indeed tempted Caspian.
"Before we talk terms, let me tell you a story." Heather said.
Caspian nodded, "I'm all ears."
"When I was in my early twenties, I was hustling in the entertainment industry. I lived in rented apartments or with actresses on set for five years and was busy every day. I thought when I become a manager, I will take good care of my actresses and always think of them first. Later, I signed with Dynamic Entertainment and became an executive manager, managing a third-tier actress. I thought of her, but she always threw tantrums and had poor judgment in choosing roles. Then I got an opportunity that brought me to where I am today. At any time, I believe that staying true to one's original aspirations is the most important. Now, I have many actresses under me, and those who once ignored me now look up to me with flattery."
Heather said to Caspian, "Caspian, if you are purely proud and don't want to follow the crowd, then why come to the entertainment industry? No one doesn't want to be famous, and no one doesn't want to get better and better. It's not about agreeing with capital; you need to learn when to bow your head and when to lift it."
