Chapter: 508
Vin and Norton were almost the same age, although Vin looked like he was a little younger. He had an excellent physique and was dressed to the nines.
Norton approached and took a seat. He immediately greeted them.
“Norton, can you recommend to me a worthwhile endeavor? Among all the people in the Anderson Group, I trust your decision-making in investment the most."
Jasper smiled as he poured Norton a fresh cup of coffee and lit a cigar.
"Speaking of which, there's something you should know." Norton gave Jasper the project plan and added, "This is from Ariana."
Jasper scanned the document, and already he was fuming.
"Jayson is a complete moron. He refused to sell me the script. I don't understand what he means by working with Ariana!"
“Don't worry. I have stopped this project plan from being handed to the preliminary examination of the company. That's why I'm holding it right now." Norton let out a heavy sigh.
"There's no denying the quality of this script. I'm scared Ariana will really receive the funding if it passes the preliminary examination."
Jasper sneered as he set down the project plan in his hand and remarked, “Truthfully, I haven't been impressed by anything in this script. It is comparable to other pieces on the market."
“That's not true, Mr. Anderson. I'd want you to read this script more carefully. The screenplay takes a strange turn at the end that pays off wonderfully. As the ending of most mysteries can be predicted just by watching the beginning, this one is like none of those. The unexpected turn of events is enough to grab people's attention.
The writing is excellent, which is unusual." Vin, his cigar dangling from one corner of his lips, pointed at the script and continued, "I've been privy to some insider data. There are now a large number of heroic films available. The public is bored of them, and love movie is now unpopular, therefore many individuals want to expand the market for mysteries to excite the audience. Otherwise, I wouldn't have convinced you to spend as much as you could to acquire this script."
“Indeed, Mr. Anderson. The sort of story where minor characters play major roles is now popular. This is the only way to arouse the sympathy and empathy of the audience," Norton said.
"Our firm has had nothing but success with the mysteries we have invested in. Our success and reputation make us an excellent choice for anyone looking to reinvent themselves in the entertainment industry.”
The revelation brought a scowl to Jasper's face, and he said, "That means we can't have Ariana film this script!"
Ariana stormed out of SJ Entertainment, fuming. She initially planned to return to her apartment, but knowing Tyler might need her help at any moment, she opted to take a taxi back to the hotel in the film and television center.
Back at the hotel, she pondered for a while before deciding to call Theodore.
Despite their ongoing silent treatment, the script issue was related to the Anderson.
Group, and Theodore might be able to help.
Norton was clearly on Jasper's side. Even though it was inappropriate for her to go straight to the CEO, Ariana had no choice but to seek Theodore's assistance.
