Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 415: Filming Kickoff Ceremony in Progress

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Filming Kickoff Ceremony in Progress

Although Selena Kensington felt a bit regretful, when she thought about still nurturing a future movie star queen, that little bit of regret vanished.

Some people are indeed suited for the entertainment industry, but if they resist it themselves, Selena didn’t feel the need to forcibly support them.

She understood the saying that forcefully picking a fruit doesn’t make it sweet.

Upon hearing Selena introduce those four leading actors, Sterling Norwood’s gaze momentarily glanced over.

When his eyes landed on Cole Vaughn, his gaze deepened suddenly.

Becoming increasingly dark and somber.

This person...

Why does he make Sterling feel a touch of unease?

Though it’s not obvious, it’s enough to catch Sterling’s attention.

It had been a while since anyone caused such an emotional ripple in him.

It was as if this person had something about him that stirred up a small rebellion inside him.

The blood in his veins also seemed to slightly roar, as if stimulated by something.

Sterling pressed down the rebellious emotion inside him, retracting the sharp and dominant aura that almost leaked out.

He resumed the image of an indifferent and noble gentleman.

However, in his mind, he took note of Cole Vaughn.

Originally, he intended to let this person slide because of Selena.

But he realized that this person seemed to harbor secrets.

A person like this, Sterling didn’t deem it safe to leave him near Selena.

"Do you think highly of him?"

Sterling lifted a few strands of Selena’s hair by her ear and asked.

Selena paused, "Who? Cole Vaughn?"

Seeing the look on Sterling’s face, Selena continued, "Not exactly thinking highly, just that Quincy Goodman character highly suits him; if it were another role, I absolutely wouldn’t use him."

Cole Vaughn’s advantage lies in his strong accord and proximity to the character Quincy Goodman.

Therefore, Selena decided to use him.

But if Cole Vaughn were to play another role, Selena wouldn’t have considered using him.

After all, he wasn’t suitable.

He never hid his true self and wasn’t necessarily able to portray other roles.

"I understand."

Then let this guy finish filming this drama before thoroughly investigating him.

Sterling didn’t want to ruin the movie that his wife had meticulously prepared.

Selena was a bit puzzled and nudged him with her elbow, "What do you understand?"

Sterling casually changed the subject, "Nothing much, just that if you keep paying attention to him, I can’t guarantee what I might do."

His words carried a faint hint of threat.

Selena recognized the meaning in his words and glared at him, "Jealous much!"

Sterling chuckled softly.

He pinched the soft flesh on her arm, seeming reluctant to let go, "The filming ceremony is starting."

Upon hearing Sterling say this, Selena didn’t bother with his little gestures and jealousy, instead turning her head towards the stage immediately.

At that time, the stage backdrop displayed a large concept poster of "Butterfly Flame."

In the middle was a camera wrapped in red velvet.

Lea Dutton went up to the stage.

She stood next to a microphone and said, "Honored guests, dear friends, welcome to the launch ceremony of ’Butterfly Flame.’"

As Lea finished speaking, the audience responded with enthusiastic applause.

’Clap clap clap clap clap...’

Lea glanced below the stage, smiled, and continued, "Today we are fortunate to have the four leading actors, Sloane Hawthorne, Harvey Vance, Ethan Linton, and Cole Vaughn."

"In addition, the directors, assistant directors, and other key team members of the crew are present."

"Moreover, Stardust Entertainment’s current president Hugh Kensington and his girlfriend Felicity Dalton are also here."

"And the creator of this drama, director and screenwriter Selena Kensington, along with her lover, are also present."

Lea introduced the attendees.

The applause started again from below.

’Clap clap clap clap clap...’

"Since the official announcement of ’Butterfly Flame,’ it has gone through various processes such as receiving investments, selecting costume designers, casting choices... Now the launch ceremony is finally being held."

Lea continued with her speech.

"... After the launch ceremony, we will choose a sunny day to start filming. The shooting is expected to be completed within 1-2 months, and with post-production, it’s hoped to meet everyone before May next year."

After Leia finished speaking, Hugh Kensington, the assistant director, and actor representative Sloane Hawthorne took turns to speak on stage.

Finally, it was Selena’s turn.

"Next, let’s move to the media interaction segment, inviting our director and screenwriter, Selena Kensington, along with the four leading actors to the stage."

Upon hearing her name, Selena went up.

The four leading actors were already standing there, having intentionally left a space in the middle.

That spot was reserved for Selena.

Once Selena reached the middle of the four and took the microphone handed over by Lea Dutton, many media personnel below were ready to take action.

"Ready."

After saying this, the media began to raise one question after another.

"Director Kensington, what is roughly the main plot of ’Butterfly Flame’? And what was your original intention in writing it?"

"If ’Butterfly Flame’ is screened before May, it could catch the world’s top film festival, the Corinthia Film Festival, held every three years. Is it your intention to compete for awards there, Director Kensington?"

"Director Kensington, it was previously heard that the casting was delayed over the character Quincy Goodman. Are you now satisfied with the actor playing him?"

"Director Kensington......"

The media kept asking questions.

After listening for a while, Selena raised her microphone, signaling them to pause.

Seeing Selena’s gesture, the media stopped their questions.

Holding the microphone, Selena started answering each of their previous questions.

"In ’Butterfly Flame,’ the character of Paloma Quinn is actually based on Sloane Hawthorne, but the overall layout of ’Butterfly Flame’ places a grand national grudge above, making the love between Paloma and Rhys not only passionate but sensational."

When Sloane Hawthorne heard that Paloma Quinn was modeled after her, a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

She had initially thought Selena chose her to play Paloma simply because she was a good fit.

She never expected that the role of Paloma was created with her in mind from the beginning.

Sloane felt Selena’s regard and goodwill for her, making her heart warm.

The corners of her mouth also deepened into a smile.

"The original intent of this drama was to make up for the regrets of ’Immortal Path,’ to portray a fiery and stormy love but not confined to love alone; it also encompasses national glory and the fate of people of that era."

"As for the Corinthia Film Festival, we’re sorry, but this wasn’t considered when setting the rough release timeline. However, if given the chance, we’d be willing to give it a try."

"Regarding Quincy Goodman, he is indeed a character difficult to decide upon. I didn’t want him created only to be ruined by my own hands; thus, I was particularly careful in selecting the actor for this role."
