Chapter 1117 Perfect For Stardom
It took a lot of effort, but Lux succeeded in convincing Luna to not miss the opportunity that was presented to her.
After being an Idol for many years, Luna had decided to try her hand at becoming an actress, which her manager, Hollie, was very enthusiastic about.
Because of this, the latter used her connections to pull strings that would allow Luna to join the crew of a Big Project, which was deemed to be the next Box Office Hit.
On the day of the interview, Lux accompanied her to make sure that she wouldn't get cold feet and run away.
Fortunately, she didn't have any intention of doing that.
However, there was still a problem.
Even if she didn't run away, she still had to gain the approval of the Producer, who was funding the movie entitled, Cantarella.
When Lux saw the title, he wondered if this was a wordplay for a certain fairytale, but after doing a bit of research, he found out that "Cantarella" was apparently a poison used to kill a Pope in the past.
It was a poison that left no trace behind. However, whether this was real or not, no one really knew.
The only certain thing was that the name of the poison existed until today.
"You made us wait for a day, Miss Luna," a woman, who seemed to be in her late thirties, said in a calm manner. "Usually, it's me making people wait and not the other way around. This is a first, and I have to admit, it doesn't sit well with me."
"I'm sorry, Miss Claudia," Luna apologized. "It will not happen again."
"As it should," Claudia replied. "But that still doesn't make me feel any better. Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't replace you and have another lady take your role?" n--0VElb1n
"Because I believe that I am perfect for the role of Mary Beth," Luna replied in a heartbeat. Her face was calm, and yet, a fierce glint of determination could be seen in her eyes.
"Oh?" the corner of Claudia's lips curled up into a smirk. "You think you are perfect for the role? I wonder where this confidence of yours is coming from."
Claudia then glanced at the man who was standing near the door behind Luna.
The Producer then patted Lux's shoulder with a smile.
"Congratulations, you not only saved Luna's role, but you also got yourself a job," Claudia smiled. "What's your name?"
Lux blinked once then twice, as he looked at the mature beauty in front of him.
He was only there to help Luna land her role, but in the end, he also got cast to be part of the movie.
And the surprising part was that he got the Male Lead!
"Lux," Lux replied after a minute had passed.
"Lux?" Claudia smiled. "A good name. Perfect for stardom. Are you one of Hollie's talents?"
"No," Lux answered.
"A free agent? Then you should sign yourself a contract with Hollie. Since you are good friends with Luna, I won't try to poach you. But you better do your best to act properly. Her career depended on it, okay?"
Lux didn't know that he was being swept by the flow. But, in the end, he had no choice but to nod his head for Luna's sake.
"Great!" Claudia clapped her hand once. "Now, meet me in the venue in four days. Hollie will fill you up with the details. I'm a busy person, so see you later, Lux."
The mature beauty even gave Lux a wink before leaving the room.
When he was certain that she was truly gone, he looked at Luna, who was looking back at him with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"What just happened?" Lux asked.
"You happened," Luna replied before shaking her head helplessly. "I'm pretty sure that before this day is over, Hollie will be smiling ear to ear once she learns about this development.
Luna was right.
When Hollie heard that Lux would become the Male Lead, she not only smiled from ear to ear but also laughed as well.
Two hours later, she made the Half-Elf sign a contract, making him part of the Rising Stars Company.
Although there were many twists and turns along the way, Lux was now going to become a star, which he definitely didn't sign up for after finding himself back on Earth.
