He was so humble in front of Maria, as if his superstar status had no bearing.

“Like I said, I want you to play the male supporting role. I have thought about it carefully, and it is the most suitable role for you." Maria repeated her statement, waving her hand indifferently.

This time, Penney's mouth twitched.

She was annoyed because it felt like they should be thanking Maria for giving this opportunity that didn't seem so grand in the first place.

But still, since this was a project, Penney had to show a professional attitude.

She then said with a straight face, "Miss Jenkins, who should we talk to regarding this play? Is the film company domestic or international? Also, is there a director yet?"

However, Maria shook her head and said, “It's not being handled by a film and television company. A novel website will adapt its work into a play. As for the director, I will still recommend one later. But I'm thinking that Francis should take the job.”

Hearing these details, Penney's eyebrows raised.

In the past few years, the film and television circle had been booming, and many investors outside the circle also involved themselves in testing the waters.

Aside from these companies, lots of novel websites had also come out to adapt their works into plays or movies.

Unfortunately, majority of these low-budget plays and movies had turned into bad ones, greatly reducing the reputation of the film and television circle.

Because of this, Penney had refused invitations and offers from at least ten novel websites in the past two months.

Moreover, she didn't seem to be familiar with the director that Maria mentioned just now.

Who was this Francis guy anyway?

Did she actually just pull him from the street?

“Umm...

“I think—"

When Penney was about to refuse Maria politely, Jay instantly butted in.

"This novel website... It's Novel Hub, right? We've already worked with Mr. Jackson, so I know how good he is as a director."

Penney was stunned.

Her eyes widened as she diverted her gaze from Jay to Maria.

“Wait... Novel Hub? Is it that famous novel website? The top runner of the network Literature industry? That same Novel Hub?"

Maria nodded and replied, "Well, there should only be one Novel Hub, right?"

Penney's dissatisfaction with this project vanished in an instant. Although Novel Hub was simply a novel website, it had a very good reputation.
