Chapter 650 Two Hands Tightly Clasped
Natalie got thrown into the limelight thanks to one leaked pic from Juniper, without even saying a word. Then, more buzz about Juniper playing the victim gave Oscar a major headache.
Oscar couldn't stand actors who schemed behind the scenes. He thought actors and actresses should just devoted themselves to their acting and stay away fromall this drama.
Matthew chimed in, "This ain't on you. We brought you here to figure out how to protect your rights. Whoever messed up should pay for what they did. If Juniper wants attention, let her deal with the mess."
Five minutes later, Samuel's top agent, Micah Gray, who'd been with Samuel for years, strolled into the meeting room.
Micah was beaming, standing tall at six-foot-three and weighing nearly 440 pounds—a real big guy.
This whole thing, though not massive, was still pretty serious.
After all, it had only been a week since filming started, and already there was drama with the supporting actress leaking photos to boost the lead actress's image and making up a relationship with the lead actor.
Samuel was known for not getting involved in these publicity stunts.
Micah said, "I hope you guys take this seriously. I'll also warn Juniper's team. This film just started shooting, and it should rely on a solid plot instead of rumors about the actors."
The production team nodded, "Got it. Don't worry."
Natalie wasn't sure how things were handled after that.
Rising Winds officially dropped a statement banning leaks and said they'd go after whoever was spreading them.
All the influencer accounts that shared the leaks quickly deleted them and posted apologies on Facebook.
Then, Rising Winds released an official still.
#Rising Winds drops its stills#
These were the same pics Juniper had posted in the alley earlier that morning.
First, they released stills of a few supporting characters, then stills of the two leads.
There were two solo shots and one of the two together.
Samuel stood on the left side of the alley, while Natalie on the right.
They were staring at each other across the alley.
The alley was deep and quiet, wrapped in the darkness of night and a hint of fear.
Natalie's face was pale, her expression calm and determined, her eyes clear and resolute, while Samuel, playing a rookie cop, held a flashlight, ready for action.
In another shot, the two held hands and ran out of the alley together.
The release of these official stills drew a ton of attention, with netizens buzzing with excitement.
[Can't wait for Samuel's show. Anything Samuel's in is gold!]
[Looking forward to Landon, our rookie cop!]
[Natalie is so gorgeous, such a stunning young pro. This is what proper stills should look like. Other teams messed with Natalie's photos, and now they're in trouble. Their looks aren't even close.]
[Natalie's eyes are so expressive, clear and powerful.]
[Can't wait to see Wesley's new movie. I'm so pumped for this film.]
[I knew the bad photos from this morning were Juniper's team's doing. It's so obvious. The shot of the lead actor and actress holding hands and running out of the darkness is beautiful!]
[Rising Winds book fans were worried about the casting at first. This IP is huge, and having a new actress play the lead felt off. But look at the stills. it seems alright.]
