Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Reading the Script

Many actors in the entertainment industry are aware of this, but a film directed by Director Carter is an absolute mark of quality

Therefore, even if it means going to a place with inconvenient communication, they are more than willing.

The recent torrential downpour injured many people to varying degrees, and Vincent Carter felt immensely guilty.

This was the only way he could compensate.

Crystal Harper wiped away her tears, suddenly thought of something, looked up at Vincent Carter with her eyes sparkling, "Director Carter, I actually know someone who’s perfect for the role, but... she’s not from the entertainment industry."

Vincent Carter’s interest was piqued immediately, "Who is it?"

"This person," said Crystal Harper, knowing Carter is familiar with her. "You know her too."

Vincent Carter looked puzzled.

How could he not remember such a person around him?

Crystal Harper helplessly rubbed her forehead, reminding him, "Director Carter, don’t you think there’s no one in this world more suitable for the role than Serena Summers? From the moment I first saw Serena, the description of the third female lead in the script already began to form in my mind."

Vincent Carter was stunned for a moment, then had an epiphany.

He couldn’t help but laugh, "Indeed, I overlooked that. I’ve been only looking within the industry and neglected the people close to me."

How could he have not thought of it?

The role was clearly written with Serena as the prototype.

"This isn’t quite appropriate, is it? Miss Summers studies medicine, it has nothing to do with acting. Can she... really pull it off?"

As a professional agent, Serena Summers’ face would be a major advantage in the entertainment industry.

But acting isn’t just about the face.

It’s also about the acting skills.

Vincent Carter waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don’t worry, Serena will be fine."

After all, Serena was personally trained by him, and she inherently has a talent for acting.

If it weren’t for her master’s strong intervention, Serena would have been drawn into the entertainment circle to act a long time ago.

Now that the right candidate has been found, the most important thing is to persuade Serena.

He didn’t delay any further, said goodbye to the two of them, and hurriedly left.

In the suite, Lucas Shaw was embracing and kissing Serena when the door suddenly burst open.

"Lucas Shaw, I..."

Seeing the two entwined in bed kissing, Vincent Carter began to speak but then paused, completely frozen.

Lucas Shaw sensed someone entering, immediately pulled the comforter to cover Serena well, holding her tightly in his arms.

His sharp gaze shot straight at the intruder, "Get out!"

"Hey, who knew you two would be doing this... ahem... that, in broad daylight, Serena, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you."

Vincent Carter turned his back, feeling somewhat wronged.

He had been too hasty, thinking Serena was still asleep he just pushed the door open, not expecting to see... such an inappropriate scene.

Serena, wrapped up so tightly, with her cheeks against Lucas Shaw’s chest, felt both exasperated and amused.

Her clothes were intact, so why bundle her up so thoroughly?

"Do you have anything else?" Lucas Shaw asked with a cold tone.

Serena pushed on his shoulder, wriggled out from his embrace, and straightened her slightly wrinkled nightdress, "Second senior brother, what’s happened?"

Vincent Carter slowly turned around and handed the script to Serena, "Serena, do you remember this script?"

Serena Summers took it, flipped through a couple of pages, "Of course I remember it, this is your favorite script."

Vincent Carter’s eyes lit up, sat down by the bed, "Serena, your senior brother has run into a bit of trouble recently and thought of asking you for help."

"What can I help with?" Serena Summers was puzzled.

Vincent Carter said seriously, "You can really help a lot! The thing is, our third leading actress had an accident recently, and I couldn’t find a suitable replacement in the industry so..."

"Do you want me to recommend someone? I’ll ask Frank Lane later, see if the company has any suitable candidates."

Vincent Carter glanced at Lucas Shaw and lowered his voice, "No, I want you to take this role. Please take a look at the script, the character of the third lead is very likable. I’m sure you’d be perfect for it."

"But, I don’t have plans to get into show business." Serena Summers hesitated.

She liked acting, but the entertainment industry... better not.

As a CEO of an entertainment company, having been accustomed to the industry’s ups and downs, she was somewhat resistant to it.

"Who says acting necessarily means entering show business? Can’t you just help your senior brother out? I really can’t find anyone else." Vincent Carter clasped his hands together, his expression a mix of sincerity and hope.

Serena Summers softened a bit but said, "I need to think about it. I’ll have a look at the script first."

Not rejecting outright meant there was hope.

Vincent Carter quickly said, "Okay, take your time reading it. But of course, do rest as well, there’s no rush."

No film is more important than Serena Summers’ health!

"You can act?" Lucas Shaw looked at Serena Summers skeptically, his eyes filled with surprise.

Serena Summers nodded lightly, explaining, "My second senior brother didn’t like studying medicine and loved filming. He would often study various scripts and always liked to pull me along. Over time, I picked up a bit."

If Vincent Carter were here, he would definitely argue on her behalf.

What does it mean she picked up a bit?

If what she knew about acting was just a bit, then most of the people in the entertainment industry have wasted half their lives.

Lucas Shaw chuckled and nodded, reaching out to ruffle Serena Summers’ hair, "Our Serena is truly amazing."

Serena Summers blushed at the praise, her lips involuntarily turning up into a smile.

After resting for a few days, Serena Summers’ health gradually improved.

With Lucas Shaw’s care, the weight she had lost was regained.

This day, Vincent Carter was waiting anxiously at the hotel entrance first thing in the morning.

When Serena Summers came out, Vincent Carter immediately approached, taking her hand and heading outside, "Serena, you need to reshoot the scenes Crystal Harper previously did today, and in a few days retake the makeup photos. But don’t worry, I’m here, I’ll make sure no one on the crew will bully you."

Looking at her solemn-faced senior brother, Serena Summers laughed lightly, "Senior brother, I’m not worried."

Vincent Carter opened the car door, put his hand over Serena Summers’ head to shield her carefully.

"That’s good, you know everyone in the crew, if they say anything unpleasant, don’t take it to heart. If there’s any issue, come directly to me."

Serena Summers nodded lightly, "Okay."

Seeing the well-behaved girl sitting in the car, Vincent Carter felt a warmth in his heart and stroked her hair.

"Such a good girl."

On the set, many people were huddled together, murmuring quietly.

Every now and then they glanced down the hill, eyes full of curiosity.

"Who do you think Director Carter brought in?"

"I don’t know, but Director Carter has high standards for casting, otherwise this movie wouldn’t have been delayed until now to start shooting."
