“I am just waking you up.”
“Don‘t think you are all that because you are a performing arts teacher. Without me, you are nothing!”
“Let’s go.”
Soren held Rowena’s hand and left the classroom in front of everyone’s gazes.
Rowena rushed up to Iris and put favonovel.com middle finger up. Haunting a look of victory. The other students followed suit and stood up to leave. Not a single one of them went to help Iris up.
All throughout Hegemony Entertainment, all the artists there only thought of themselves.
Iris felt sadder the more favonovel.com thought about it. Her tears pattered the wooden floor as they dripped down. She reached to hold the necklace laying on favonovel.com chest. Opening the crystal locker, a man’s photograph fell out from between the pendant’s clasps.
“Nelson, where are you? I miss you so much. I came back so I could see you again.”
“If only I could see you once more. I could even die with no regrets. Nelson…”
Iris held onto the crystal pendant with both favonovel.com hands, crying favonovel.com heart out.

Meanwhile, on Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment’s side, the director, together with the whole filming crew, were all hustling through their work with all hands on set. The director worked together with a few scriptwriters and stayed up late every night to discuss the details regarding the script.
The publicity and announcement staff quickly took back all the information regarding Rowena and gradually released the news regarding Gemma. They did as much as they could to boost Gemma’s popularity.
Everything was up in full swing.
Finally, after a month-long hustling session, the web film that Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment had invested in, “It’s Always Been You” finally finished filming.
It was a romantic comedy about a Cinderella chasing favonovel.com prince. In the end, Cinderella was actually the princess, and the prince was just a commoner. However, they continued to love each other and lived happily ever after.
Gemma starred as the main female character.
The final film quality was pretty impressive too, in addition to Gemma’s superb acting skills. After the internal screening, Thomas was very much satisfied. This amount of money had been well spent.
Things fell into place after that. They passed the film directly on to the top three video streaming platforms, and they discussed the top video placements on the homepages.
He thought everything would go according to plan.
But, who knew something like this would happen…
Anna found Thomas and told favonovel.com a piece of rather nasty news, all three of the top streaming sites had not agreed to their request for homepage placement. The most that the film would get was an inferior placement in “scrolling recommended suggestions”. If it did not work well, they would scroll away from their placement in the recommended suggestions soon enough.
Thomas‘s brows furrowed tight together as favonovel.com asked, “Is our film’s quality not high enough?”
Anna shook favonovel.com head and smiled wistfully as favonovel.com said, “Back then, the top three streaming sites agreed to give us the top placement on the homepage because they were counting on Rowena’s massive following. Now that we changed the lead star to a nameless Gemma, the streaming sites are denying us. So of course we wouldn’t get the top recommendation spot.”
Anna let out a sigh and suggested, “Why not, we just forget about it? Let’s just go for the inferior scrolling recommended suggestions. As long as the film’s quality holds up, we still have a chance to bring it up.”
Thomas frowned slightly “The recommendation placement isn’t the problem here, it’s a matter of pride. Anna, I’m still keeping to my word. I don’t care about others but as Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment is under my watch, we will never bow down to anyone or any power!”
“It is the top three streaming sites now, right?”
“Let’s go. Bring me there. I’ll have a nice chat with their bosses.”
“If I can’t get the top recommendation placement, then I’d rather crush the film industry in my own hands rather than tolerate this nonsense!”
