“I hope Ms. Emma can make a trip to China. There’s a cosmetics commercial that requires your help. Are you free to come over now?”
Commercials!
This was what it meant to have a free lunch!
She was overjoyed.
Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Am I dreaming?” she wondered. The boss of Star Creation had actually contacted her to shoot a commercial?! In the past, she would never have accepted other advertising projects when she was filming, but this was an invitation from Star Creation!
This was no ordinary company!
If she accepted, not only would she gain the other party’s favor, she would also become even more popular!
She had already made her choice.
She asked carefully, “Are, are you really inviting me to shoot a commercial? Are you calling the right number? Or am I dreaming?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming laughed. “He seems a little too cute,” she thought.
“You didn’t hear me wrongly, Ms. Emma Stone. Are you willing to accept my invitation? Because I’m in a little bit of a hurry, so it would be good if you could come over now.”
Emma blinked her dark brown eyes. She had not heard wrongly! The other party was really inviting her!
She said in disbelief, “This makes me feel like I’m dreaming. Since you invited me, I think I’ll agree without hesitation. After all, it’s my greatest honor to be able to collaborate with Star Creation!”
“Then, I’ll wait for you in China.”
After hanging up, Emma still felt that it was surreal. Just to be sure, she called the manager of Star Creation. “Ms. Zhu? This is Emma Stone. Just now, someone called and said that he’s the boss of Star Creation. He wants me to go to China to shoot a commercial. Is this true?”
“Yes, that’s true. I’ve already arranged everything for you. If you need anything else, feel free to call me.”
Emma replied with a few words and put away her phone. She jumped up excitedly on the spot, then looked at the director and said, “Mr. Smith, please push my scenes back. I have something to do today, so I can’t shoot!”
Then she looked at her manager. “Push back all my work for now! I’m going overseas! I’m going to China now.”
The manager said in surprise, “Are you crazy? Do you know how many things we have lined up? Just the termination fees alone will cost us a bunch…”
Emma interrupted her. “Do you know? Just now, the boss of Star Creation personally invited me to shoot a commercial in China! I’ve already checked with Ms. Zhu. Everything is ready over there!”
Everyone on the set looked at her.
This movie had invited many international female celebrities. Even they, who were used to all kinds of invitations, could not help but show envious expressions. Instantly, there was a lot of discussion.
“Oh my god! What did I hear?! Am I dreaming? Emma actually received an invitation from the boss of Star Creation! It’s my dream to collaborate with Star Creation.”
“Looks like another superstar has emerged. When the time comes, if Emma really manages to establish ties with Star Creation, don’t forget us because we don’t even know the phone number of the boss.”
“Maybe the boss of Star Creation is a fan of Emma. Otherwise, why would he suddenly call? I really envy your luck, Emma.”
“Me too. Good luck. Perhaps I’ll be proud to have a good friend like you in the future. Do well and try to leave a good impression on the other party. If there’s anything you don’t understand, call us anytime.”
Emma’s heart warmed. After this period of acting, they were both her teachers and friends.
“I won’t forget you all.”
At this moment, her manager received the information from Star Creation. She came back to her senses. It was true! Star Creation really wanted to collaborate with Emma!
She took a deep breath and bowed to the director excitedly. “Sorry, we’ll definitely rush back when we’re done.”
Director Smith sighed and said, “Alright, I can’t let you give up such a good opportunity. I’ll move Emma’s scenes back. Don’t forget to come back.”
After getting his agreement, the manager looked at Emma’s seat. “We should go! Don’t make them anxious!”
“Alright!”
…
On the other side, the atmosphere at the filming location was getting tense.
“Boss, why did you invite such a person? There were so many candidates previously.”
A young man in a white hoodie, Ah Cheng, muttered softly. Although Shu Shengzi was indeed good-looking, there were many people who were more outstanding than her in terms of appearance. For example, their boss, Ms. Chu, was one of them.
As the boss of the company’s business team, An Shiling tutted. “That was because other celebrities had no free slots in their schedules.” If she had known this would happen, she would not have looked for Shu Shengzi.
“Ms. Shu, we’re all very busy. Please finish filming this commercial. Otherwise, our company will really lose millions of yuan!”
“What has it got to do with me? I don’t want to shoot because I don’t want to. Don’t tell me you want to force me?”
Shu Shengzi yawned lightly. “I disdain working with local brands. My goal is to become an international big shot.”
A short-haired woman from one of the business teams had the most explosive temper. She said, “Then why did you accept the job back then?! You accepted the project but refused to shoot the commercial. Are you crazy? You are causing us to lose so much money now! Why? Are you willing to pay?”
“Your person-in-charge is not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?”
Shu Shengzi looked at Lu Ming and said in a sarcastic manner, “If you’re willing to beg me, I don’t mind staying a little longer. Besides, I think your boss is quite good-looking. Why don’t…”
“Let her do it. Her looks sell well in our industry.”
The short-haired woman blurted out, “Shameless! Untrustworthy person!”
Ah Cheng and An Shiling quickly stopped her, afraid that something would happen again.
“Calm down! Yuelian.”
Chu Jinyu clenched her fists. She definitely wanted to blacklist this person. Lu Ming patted her shoulder and said calmly, “Relax, don’t be nervous. Since she is unwilling to cooperate, you just have to do the preparations later. You are so much prettier than her. It’s just a commercial.”
He raised his hand to look at the time on his watch. It was almost time.
Meanwhile, Chu Jinyu was already prepared to go on set. Everyone was ready. She was doing it for the company’s benefit, but she also did not want the effort put in by so many people to go down the drain.
“Although I’ve never tried filming endorsement commercials, I don’t mind giving it a try. Oh right, Ms. Shu, after I get through this crisis, I won’t let you off.”
Seeing this, Shu Shengzi frowned. The boss had personally come on board. This was not part of her script. She said loudly, “Do you think filming a commercial is that simple?! Stop joking. A layman is a layman…”
“Boss! An unfamiliar private jet has landed on the rooftop of our company!”
“What?!!!”
