"Shall I give it a try right now?"
"Sure, go for it."
"Is Emily coming with me?"
"What's in it for me?"
"Gracie said... Mr. Finnegan wants you to join; there are some roles for kids."
"Wow! If we both nail the audition, I can act with Stephanie again, right?" Emily asked.
Seeing Emily's eyes full of enthusiasm, Stephanie understood immediately.
Well, why not give it a shot!
Emily loved acting so much that it was worth it for her!
Sebastian suddenly said, "How about I go with you guys?"
"Huh? Silver Fox, you’re coming too?" Stephanie replied.
"Yeah, to cheer you guys on?"
"You really don't have to."
"It's okay, I don't have much going on today."
"But Gracie said it's tomorrow."
"...I'm free tomorrow too." Sebastian said.
"Well, Silver Fox, if you really have nothing else going on, you can hang out with us." Stephanie replied.
On Monday, Sebastian finished two days' worth of work.
On Tuesday, he drove the two of them to Emmert's film set.
It was Stephanie's first time on such a lavish set.
Wow! The whole scene setup was like something out of a science-fiction film.
It was more than a set. It was like a mini-futuristic world.
One moment he was telling Gracie she was getting on in years and still not married with kids.
The next, he was saying the holiday movies Mr. Finnegan made were all flops. Only blind people would buy tickets to see them.
They could talk back over the phone, but face to face, neither dared to offend him.
Who would have thought that such a hot-tempered old man would love making sci-fi movies and do it so well, earning love from audiences at home and abroad.
Over the years, he made a fortune from making sci-fi films, giving him a significant influence in the entertainment industry, where few dared to cross him.
Even a big shot in the entertainment industry like Jeffrey Perez from the Perez family had to show him the respect one would give a father figure when they met.
Although Jeffrey was his niece Rebecca's husband, in reality, Jeffrey's past with Ashley Morris had left him very dissatisfied with Jeffrey.
It wasn't because of Rebecca, but because of Ashley. Ashley was one of the few actresses he admired, a rarity in the entertainment industry.
Ashley used to have a promising career, but it was completely ruined by Jeffrey.
He had planned to make a movie with Ashley, hoping to send it overseas for award consideration. This was the film Gracie had high hopes for.
But problems arose. Although the set was successfully built, the film was interrupted during the shooting and was never completed.
