Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 1007 - 594: Awards Ceremony (Part 4)

Gediyah said irritably, "Seeing them appear here just makes me annoyed. I really don’t understand why everyone is so worried about this and that nowadays. Asians naturally have small eyes, why can’t people say anything about it?"

"Gediyah, you better lower your voice; there are a lot of people here. If someone hears you and posts it online, there will surely be people attacking you."

Gediyah held back, considering the situation, and did not continue to complain.

But when she saw Elizabeth and Zhou Yun, He Wenyun chatting enthusiastically, that nameless fire in her heart flared up again.

It’s really annoying!

"Hey, Gediyah, why do you look unhappy?" Bruce appeared beside her.

Seeing Bruce, Gediyah instantly put on a cheerful face.

Among the executives at the film company, there was no shortage of handsome men who could almost become actors, but Bruce was the most noticeable of them all.

Many people wondered why Bruce didn’t become a celebrity; with his looks and his resources in the industry, he could have debuted as a star.

But as the years went by, Bruce became a key manager at Paimon, and people started praising his strong personal capability. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gediyah liked Bruce partly because he was handsome and charming, and partly because she had collaborated with him.

She had shot two romantic comedies with Paimon, which received poor reviews but brought satisfactory earnings and box office for both parties.

For those two movies, Bruce was the person in charge.

This is how Gediyah got close to Bruce.

To Gediyah, Bruce was also someone whose relationship she needed to maintain.

After all, if Gediyah wanted to continue acting, having collaborated with Bruce, he would influence what roles Paimon would offer her in the future.

Gediyah sighed and said, "Of course I’m not happy. You all would rather produce ’Chinese Warrior’ with a Chinese lead than offer me a role. Bruce, how long has it been since you last reached out to me?"

"I remember sending you two scripts just two months ago," Bruce said.

"What kind of scripts were those? One wanted me to play the rival to the female lead, and the other involved exposing myself for an explicit scene," Gediyah said. "And when have I fallen to the point where I have to play a supporting role?"

Bruce’s face showed no emotion.

He smiled kindly and said, "Gediyah, it’s not that I don’t want to; it’s just that your last movie was a huge loss. The other people at the company aren’t willing to take risks with you anymore. I only consider you a friend, that’s why I still send scripts to you."

Gediyah was momentarily speechless.

Previously, she made a movie with Dickey, a youth campus-themed movie that she often starred in, but it unexpectedly flopped, with box office earnings not even reaching three million.

Keep in mind, Dickey paid her two million in remuneration.

This flop made the film industry start to doubt her box office appeal, and her fans weren’t supporting her or buying tickets to see her movies.

Half a year passed without Gediyah receiving any offers for leading roles.

This made her very unhappy.

But since she was still popular in the fashion field and constantly a hot topic, in other areas, people perceived her as a commercially valuable celebrity, just not someone who could drive audiences to theaters anymore.

Gediyah was unwilling to give up acting.

In the United States entertainment industry, there is also a contempt chain.

The status of a film actor compared to a famous personality is entirely different.

The status in commercial endorsements and the fashion world largely depends on your career development.

She is neither a model nor a social media influencer; she became famous as an actor.

Gediyah said to Bruce, "Bruce, can’t you help me again, pull off a film like ’Love’s Eternal’? That movie grossed a hundred million dollars! If we join forces again to create a box office miracle, I’m sure we can do it."

In the face of Gediyah’s plea, Bruce appeared indifferent.

He said, "Gediyah, it’s not a matter of whether I want to help you. I told you, the key is whether the company is willing to greenlight your movie. Right now, people have doubts about you; they’re unsure if you still have box office appeal. Do you understand what I mean? Right now you can only play supporting roles; no film company is willing to let you play the lead."
