Chapter 1144: What Can You Guarantee With?
Santiago Fuller was also incredulous as he widened his eyes, "Mute girl? Do you know how hard it is to play the mute girl? Little girl, don’t just think about standing out in front of the crowd by choosing a high-difficulty role. If you want to perform better in front of me, I advise you to choose a simpler role."
Santiago Fuller’s tone carried disdain, feeling that Aurelia was just trying to show off in front of him, a small actor with no real talent, completely failing to catch his eye.
Santiago cast another glance at Albert, saying coldly, "I suggest you choose a simpler role for this little actor you’re trying to protect. The mute girl, have you thought about what kind of role that is? A new actor dares to challenge a role like the mute girl."
In Country Z, Aurelia had impressed as an actress, but in the eyes of Westerners, it wasn’t considered amazing at all.
In their eyes, Aurelia was a newcomer trying to step up to a higher level world.
However, this newcomer was challenging difficult roles that even they dared not try.
It’s like playing a game where a newly registered novice dares to challenge the big boss that veterans don’t dare to tackle, showing how arrogant and conceited Aurelia appeared in their eyes.
Everyone thought Albert would definitely back down, after all, even a blind person could see he particularly favored the Eastern girl and couldn’t bear to ruin her acting career. If she messed up the role of the mute girl and was especially denied by an industry benchmark like Santiago, she would have no prospects in this path.
Nobody would want someone who was denied by Santiago.
However, Albert was unusually composed, saying, "I’m very sure about the mute girl role, I guarantee she will definitely play it well."
Santiago ground his teeth in anger, "You guarantee? What do you guarantee with? Your years of career, or your Best Actor trophy? Hmph, I think you’re blinded by a witch."
Aurelia raised an eyebrow, clearly realizing she was the "witch" Santiago referred to.
He was convinced she had beguiled Albert, which was why Albert spoke for her.
After all, for so many years, Albert had never had any scandal with an actress, nor had he ever defended a woman so thoroughly.
Little did they know Albert truly valued talent, and the person truly connected to him was still in Country Z.
"The one betting with you is me, and any negotiation should be with me." Aurelia said coldly.
She couldn’t let Albert, who was protecting her, be misunderstood.
Aurelia: "My wager is as I said earlier if after watching my performance of the mute girl you still don’t acknowledge me, you can deal with me as you wish. But if you do acknowledge me, besides the previous terms, I want to add one more — acknowledge Albert’s judgment, proving that your judgment is inferior to Albert’s."
Albert was startled by her words, "Aurelia, you can’t do this, this..."
"What?" Aurelia lifted her chin, the corners of her eyes lifting slightly, showing an arrogant look.
Santiago bit his teeth in anger but still said, "Fine!"
Hmph, he thought to himself, no matter what, he wouldn’t admit her acting skills later on, and he wondered what she would do then.
Where are there so many honest people in the workplace? Who’s to say you have to tell the truth?
This little girl is still too naive.
Santiago led her to the makeup artist, called the makeup artist over to casually apply some makeup on Aurelia, knowing that the outcome was already expected, so why bother to put effort into making it so elaborate?
The makeup artist understood in her heart, intending to casually put on makeup, but unexpectedly, as she looked at this face, she couldn’t help but become more and more meticulous as she worked.
