"Hello, Missus Ford. My name is Roderick Cameron. I am a director." Roderick was respectful and polite to Sabrina.
Roderick was already someone with incredibly high status among the directors in the industry, but he still did not dare to act superior when he met Sabrina.
However, Sabrina also indeed has no idea who Roderick was. She turned her head and looked at Yvonne. "Mister Cameron had directed..."
Yvonne looked at Roderick apologetically." I'm sorry, Mister Cameron. She really doesn't pay attention to movies, television shows, and things like that, so she may not be familiar with you. Even I myself had only heard of your name and had only seen you a couple of times on the television because you've kept such a low profile."
Yvonne turned her head around and said to Sabrina, "Sabrina, Mister Cameron had continuously received a few big awards on the international stage in the past five years. He is now the top director in the country. Also, the works that he had directed were basically a match for commercial films, but they were also very humanistic and explored many societal issues. They were all very profound. The movie about the siblings who had lost their parents that we saw the last time was directed by him."
"Oh, that movie?" Sabrina sounded impressed. That was a movie that Yvonne had forced her to watch. Sabrina was not interested in movies. She had always felt that locally produced films were just manipulating the audience's emotions and were fake. Once she heard that the movie was about a sister-brother relationship, Sabrina had a preconception that it would just be trying to sell the audience the affection among family and also anxiety. She originally did not want to watch it.
However, Yvonne had dragged her to watch it, so she went.
In the end, she found the movie was not bad after watching it. It did not deliberately try to sell the audience anything. Instead, it was talking about everybody’s perspectives and also their difficulties. All the events were tied up in the end in an incomparable seamless manner as well.
Sabrina was shocked. "Is this a movie made by a local film director?"
However, she saw that Yvonne was crying inconsolably. In fact, that move was really very touching. Almost the entire theater was in tears.
The reason Sabrina did not cry was that she had experienced all sorts of hardships since her childhood, so she had long been used to hardships. She had never liked to express her feelings toward the warmth and coolness of the world by crying. She hardly cried anymore. However, she was still able to tell when a movie was good.
At that moment, Yvonne did mention to her that the director of the movie was Roderick Cameron. Sabrina did not pay much attention back then, and she did not expect that she would actually meet him on that day.
"Mister Camera, what a coincidence..." Sabrina had always been a person who was more cautious and calmer than Yvonne.
Plenty of things had happened to Yvonne’s family in the past few days, so Sabrina had no choice but to guard against everyone.
"I know that you will certainly question me. It's alright. I can handle it," Roderick said frankly.
Following that, he told Sabrina about how he came to check out the place, how he noticed Yvonne, how he observed some of her expressions, and he even told her what his upcoming creation was.
In the end, he said to Sabrina sincerely, "I really want to let Yvonne be the leading lady of my movie. In fact, what any director would hope for the most in their directorial career is to meet an actress that matches the character in their story. It doesn't matter if she was a professional or not. This was particularly so in the film industry. Not acting would also be far more real than acting. What I want is the kind of effect that is very natural and that is not acted out. The reason I wanted to choose Yvonne was that just within half an hour, I saw her punish that woman named Eva very decisively and efficiently.
Immediately after that, when she called you to complain, she cried so helplessly like an innocent child. When I saw her at that moment, I felt that everyone around her had helped shielded her from the dangers outside and she was a little girl who had yet to experience any hardships. Within just half an hour, she had presented two different states of mind. That kind of depth was something I had never seen before."
