Transmigrated as The Best Female Character of the Year

"Yeah, Raymond, haven’t you noticed? Ever since Melody Monroe recovered from her injury, she’s been acting like she’s desperate for money. She definitely won’t be picky."

"Even if she wanted to be picky, she’d need the standing to do so!"

Raymond Ford put down her phone and glanced toward the door, her face a mask of impatience. "Go get the makeup artist and tell her to come in right now! Am I supposed to wait for her?"

...

Rose Shaw looked at the person sitting across from her, her brow furrowed slightly. "If the previous footage is unusable, we won’t be held responsible. A reshoot will require a new payment."

"Rose, you’ve misunderstood! What we mean is, we want to shoot additional content."

"Additional content?" Rose Shaw was a little surprised.

"Here’s the situation. You might not know this yet, but Greenleaf has been acquired by Bloomwell! After we finished post-production and sent the footage to Bloomwell headquarters, they were absolutely blown away by the commercial!"

"What did you say? Greenleaf was acquired by Bloomwell?" Rose Shaw had been stressing over the Bloomwell endorsement lately.

She was the one who had personally rejected Raymond Ford for the role, as she no longer trusted her like she used to.

She had no desire to build up someone who would just turn around and betray her.

However, Melody Monroe’s popularity wasn’t quite there yet, so she had been hesitating on whether to recommend her for the opportunity.

She never expected that, by a strange twist of fate, the endorsement would end up going to Melody Monroe after all!

Just as Rose Shaw finished processing this news, the man who had been sitting silently across from her suddenly spoke.

"Miss Shaw, hello. I’m the marketing director for Bloomwell. With our company’s new product launch, we’re placing special importance on promotion, which is why I’ve come to personally discuss having Miss Monroe as our spokesperson."

"And you are?"

"My surname is Franklin.

"Director Franklin, hello." Rose Shaw immediately stood up to greet him properly.

"We plan to shoot three commercials, all starring Miss Monroe. For now, we need Miss Monroe to complete the first shoot, and then we’ll add some more content."

"Not a problem at all."

"As for the compensation, how does three million per commercial sound to you?"

"That price is fine for the first commercial. However, I’d like to renegotiate the fee for the second and third ones when the time comes. Melody Monroe is a newcomer with immense potential. Our agency will be investing heavily in her career, so her public profile is guaranteed to rise. You absolutely won’t regret working with her."

Director Franklin thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."

Rose Shaw was taken aback. ’He actually agreed.’

’This is great!’

’Melody’s luck is finally turning!’

...

"Alright, your positions are set. In a moment, Melody Monroe will walk out from here, and Raymond Ford, you’ll walk toward her. You two must make eye contact. Raymond Ford, pay close attention to that," Director Wallace said, looking at her.

"Okay, I will!"

"You need to appear more imposing than Melody Monroe. She’s supposed to be the one who’s been defeated."

"I understand," Raymond Ford nodded again.

As for Melody Monroe, Director Wallace wasn’t worried at all. Whether it was Willow Lynch experiencing her first love, the version of her who had suffered life’s great upheavals and lost her family, or the powerful, triumphant Willow Lynch of the present day—Melody Monroe portrayed every stage perfectly.

In this regard, Raymond Ford paled in comparison.

This was despite the fact that Raymond Ford’s own life had seen similar dramatic ups and downs.

With the huge inheritance from her mother now in her hands, along with the Summers Family assets she had reclaimed, she needed to be projecting a completely commanding aura!

But in these later scenes, she just couldn’t seem to muster that powerful presence.

She lacked Melody Monroe’s masterful control.
