Chapter 229: 0229 might as well hang myself_1

Ellen Young continued to busy herself with her own matters.

The live broadcast was set to begin next month, and Laursen’s academic seminar would start in the week following the end of the broadcast.

She had just finished the live broadcast and could directly attend the academic seminar.

It was something she had promised a long time ago.

That afternoon, Lucy Wood called and asked, "They say Geoffrey Hann came to have a meal with you, didn’t he?"

Of course, the rumors within their circle were something else altogether.

By now, Lucy Wood knew that Geoffrey Hann might be Ellen Young’s student and that he had been seen showing immense respect towards Ellen. This news had been disseminated by a female star named Laura Shawn.

She had witnessed it herself.

Ellen Young’s identity was so unexpected they couldn’t guess it, and now they could only know that Ellen indeed knew Geoffrey Hann.

Some in the circle already felt Ellen had significant backing, but they couldn’t begin to fathom the extent of it.

After all, they hadn’t heard a whisper of it beforehand.

Yet Lucy Wood knew that if the sister’s background were revealed, it would cause a storm on Twitter.

"Yes, that’s right."

Ellen didn’t deny it, "You got the news quite fast."

Lucy Wood was somewhat coy, "It’s not that, just that a celebrity happened to see you two boarding the plane, and that’s how the message came out. They say Geoffrey Hann is very close to you, and they’re all guessing now."

Although the rumors had been clarified last time, things were complicated within the entertainment industry.

Many celebrities guessed it was something complex; Lucy Wood knew it wasn’t the case and didn’t know how to explain on behalf of Ellen.

"Oh..."

No wonder then.

Ellen didn’t care in the least, "He said it was his birthday, so I cooked for him as a celebration. The live broadcast is beginning next month; when do you plan to come over?"

Upon mentioning this, Lucy’s attention was diverted. She replied, "I’m afraid I’ll have to be there the day before it starts, my crew won’t let me go."

By now "People of the World" had officially started filming, and the intensity and difficulty of this crew were beyond comparison with others.

Lucy Wood’s co-stars were all big-time actors, including international stars. Despite being the female lead, her star power was actually the least.

The director was able to firmly press down on these celebrities, and now, as the character with the most pressure, Lucy naturally needed to diligently study her lines and script, not daring to show the slightest temperament.

Even if she wasn’t in a scene, she had to stay to watch the other big names act out their scenes. If a single detail was off, the director could even declare a reshoot ten or twenty times. Indeed, being financed by Wanton Pictures, they had the money to be capricious and lavish, completely disregarding any loss of time or money.

As long as she was at the set during the day, she could not leave until evening.

She had given prior notice to the director and would only be able to leave the day before the live broadcast started.

"People of the World" would not be released until the following summer, so they had plenty of time and were subject to the director’s scheduling.

"Mm..."

Knowing she was on a shoot, Ellen simply said, "Film well."

Ellen had also heard Clinton White speak of the "People of the World" script; it was supposed to be the first step for Wanton Pictures in their foray into the entertainment industry, quite important.

If it didn’t make a huge impact it wouldn’t matter—thus when Lucy Wood had been put in, Clinton felt no pressure at all.

It was an industry that bore extra fruit in addition to their usual endeavors.

But if Lucy Wood performed well, that would be an unexpected joy.

Just hearing Ellen’s "Film well" made Lucy Wood’s scalp tingle, "Okay, I know."

If she didn’t do well, she might as well hang herself first.
