Chapter: 507
“Are you serious, Mr. Rogers? But it's a suspense movie, not about romance." Ariana almost burst into laughter. What he meant was that she had to add more love scenes.
"No one would be against love scenes in a movie. What type of agent are you? You don't even know how to make a good investment." Norton paused for a while and looked at Ariana in disgust.
"It doesn't matter if you hate love scenes. What we want is something more in touch with the public. We want to see rape, accidents, loss of memory, misunderstandings, abortion..."
“Enough, Mr. Rogers." Ariana interrupted him at once. She took a deep breath and said impatiently, "What you ask me to add to the script isn't logical at all. Besides, it's too different from the original direction of the script. If you go in that direction, it will really be a bad movie."
Norton's face darkened.
"Fine, if you don't want to rewrite the script, then we can change the director."
"So you accept this script?” Ariana asked with a smile.
Norton snorted and just realized that he had been tricked.
"The script is good, but we need to change the director. Nobody has heard of Jayson Spears. We only work with well-known directors. Who will invest in a no-name young man? You might as well ask us to throw our money by the window."
Norton no longer kept things hidden. He reprimanded Jayson in front of Ariana before saying, "Mr. Jasper Anderson has cooperated with several famous directors.
You should just give him the script. A quality sword deserves a quality scabbard.
The potential for spectacular results is greatly increased by the combination of a strong story and a skilled director.”
After hearing this, Ariana knew that Norton sided with Jasper.
"Yeah, OK. That's the reason why you expounded so extensively. You're doing all this for Jasper." Ariana scowled, sat bolt upright, and cast a disdainful glance at Norton.
"Send word back to Jasper so he can stop wasting his time with this script since I am never giving it to him!"
After that, she walked away.
Norton spat behind her and said contemptuously, "How can you speak to me in such a manner? I really doubt you can properly execute that script. The guy Jayson is a total loser. No one except a loser works with another loser."
After more than 10 minutes, he picked up the project plan and walked out. He went to the 19th level and entered the biggest office there.
Jasper and Vin were having coffee while discussing the project.
As Jasper spotted Norton, he waved and greeted him, “Norton, my friend, please have a seat. We were just talking about you."
