“What? Eric Ferguson? Lara, what have you done?”
The manager questioned Lara angrily.
If Lara had offended Eric, she would not be able to survive in the entertainment circle.
Everyone knew Eric’s character. If someone offended him, there would be no room for maneuver.
Lara’s face was extremely gloomy. She was also flustered.
Seeing this, Mr. Griffin could not help but sneer.
“Okay, I can see it now. Lara, you won’t be able to act in this movie anyway, so you should clean up your own mess!”
Mr. Griffin walked out angrily. The people next to him looked at each other blankly.
The assistant director said, “Mr. Griffin, what should we do now?”
“What else can we do? Go home! We don’t have the funds, so how can we continue filming?”
Mr. Griffin was livid.
Everyone was packing up.
Mr. Griffin huddled in a corner to think of a way out of this situation.
He was extremely frustrated that he made a decision detrimental to his career.
Harvey heard the news and asked his assistant to bring out his things to get ready to leave.
Mr. Griffin saw Harvey and ran over to him with a cautious smile.
“Harvey, there’s no rush to leave! Our cast can only rely on you!”
Harvey stood there politely and smiled. His voice was cold and hoarse.
“Mr. Griffin, I’ve heard about what happened, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Mr. Griffin became anxious all of a sudden.
“Don’t say that. You recommended Selena and didn’t tell me about her relationship with Eric. So, you’re also responsible for this matter!”
Harvey was slightly taken aback, but he still explained in a good tone, “Sorry, I just found out about their relationship a little later than you did. I have only met Ms. Nelson a few times. I recommended her to be a cameo because I appreciated her excellent performance in the film that Julie Nixon produced. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I have already explained this to you.”
Harvey nodded politely and was about to leave, but Mr. Griffin refused to let go of his last hope.
“Harvey, we have offended Ms. Nelson, but you are her idol. Please help me make a phone call to persuade her. Maybe then, Mr. Ferguson will let us go. I agree to any requests. Let alone a cameo role, even if she wants to be the female, I’m willing to give it to her!”
Mr. Griffin was not stupid. At this moment, exchanging the female lead role for Eric’s forgiveness was the best bargain.
Selena was also much prettier than Lara. She was just not as popular as Lara.
However, if Selena was Eric’s woman, it would be an easy task to increase her popularity.
Harvey’s expression was solemn. He had a tall and thin figure, and he looked a bit impatient.
His assistant could not help but step forward and said, “Mr. Griffin, although we recommended Ms. Nelson, you decided to replace her in order to please Lara. You didn’t even show Harvey any respect, so how dare you ask Harvey to clean up your mess? It’s true that Ms. Nelson is Harvey’s fan, but it’s not right to ask Harvey to persuade her to let this go. How can we let Harvey’s fans suffer this kind of grievance?”
Harvey raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.
Mr. Griffin’s mind was a mess. He was really desperate.
“I… Harvey, I know it’s not good to get you involved, but look… If we disband our cast and crew, we’ll have to fork out six figures a day. How can we delay this? Moreover, you were so optimistic about this film back then. If this film gets shelved, we won’t get a chance to restart it. Are you willing to give this up?”
Harvey pursed his lips calmly.
Mr. Griffin stepped forward and pleaded.
“Please just give Ms. Nelson a call. I won’t make things difficult for you. I just want to apologize to her!”
Harvey’s expression was cold, but he could not ignore Mr. Griffin’s pleading. Thus, he took out his phone.
“I’ll just call her once. If she answers, you can speak to her. If she doesn’t answer, I won’t call her again.”
