Chapter 48 Secret Meeting with a Male Celebrity
After the bidding, the results would come out in three days.
But for the people present, the result had already come out. The official representatives were obviously more interested in the plans of The Jovano Group and the Grant Group. They just couldn’t make a decision for a while.
When she left the venue, Hellen heard someone mumbling.
“Well, I knew it would be like this, but I still wanted to try…”
“Yes, the renovation of old cities is profitable. The government has always been willing to pay the money!”
Hellen smiled.
She stood in front of the door for a few seconds, and then Hans came up from behind.
He stopped beside her.
“Miss Jovano, who do you think will win the bid between us?”
Hellen glanced at him. “I believe in the power of The Jovano Group.”
Hans raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Her sharp look made him unable to look away for a moment.
“I think so too. Let’s wait and see.”
Hans left.
Hellen stood where she was, confused. She turned to look at Mike angrily. “Did he come to provoke me? How annoying!”
Mike was speechless.
“It looks like he’s here to strike up a conversation, but is Mr. Grant here to do this? No way…”
The bidding result would come out in three days. The Jovano Group had been busy for a while, so Hellen had generously given everyone a day off. She made the two departments take turns to take leave.
She, on the other hand, received an important phone call and immediately drove to Tempe Studios.
It was located in the suburbs, one of the top studios.
From the moment she entered the door, she saw many shooting bases inside and many people dressed in different ages.
People from ancient times to modern times, from wearing armor to drinking water on the side of the road, you can meet all of them.
But you won’t be able to meet a celebrity. The studio base is large, and the roads are complicated. After asking several times, Hellen slowly drove to a large garden.
The garden was full of antique buildings. There were rows upon rows of cornices with palace lanterns below shaking, making people feel as if they had suddenly passed through.
After Hellen drove in, not far away, the window of the recreational vehicle in front of the gate of another garden opened.
Natalie rolled down the window and asked, “Was it Hellen who went in just now?”
Her assistant stood next to her. “I think so, Natalie, but I didn’t see it clearly.”
“Which production crew is next door?” Natalie asked with a frown.
“It’s Thousands of Miles.” The assistant whispered.
Thousands of Miles!
It was a sorrow for Natalie. She became melancholic and said, “I remember, the leading male character was Karim Thomas.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go and have a look!”
Natalie narrowed her eyes. Since Hellen had come to the production team, she was not going to meet any small fry. Even though the Jovano family was the one who invested Thousands of Miles, it should still be the company’s staff who came here. Why was she here?
But since she was here, she was not going to meet nobody. If she wasn’t going to meet Director Kenny Lee, then she was going to meet Karim!
Last time, when the Thousands of Miles changed the actors, she had said on the Internet that it was made by the investors. Originally, everything had been doing well, but Hellen had tweeted.
Karim let a group of his friends give Hellen likes, and at that time, she felt that the relationship between Hellen and Karim wasn’t simple.
In the entertainment industry, male celebrities liked to get involved with those rich young ladies the most! They were not much better than female celebrities. Maybe they were even more shameless!
Natalie cursed under her breath. She took out her mask and sunglasses, put on her hat, and sneaked into the production team of the Thousands of Miles with her assistant.
…
When Hellen arrived at the team, Kenny was filming an important scene.
She sneaked behind him and looked at him seeing the camera seriously. “Mr. Lee.”
Kenny was badly startled. He turned to look at Hellen. “Miss Jovano.”
Kenny vaguely remembered that when Hellen had just started the live stream, no one knew her identity. At that time, he had also taken a fancy to the Industrious Hellen and wanted her to be the heroine of the Thousands of Miles.
But she replied that she was not interested.
Now he finally knew why she had no interest. It was because she had become an investor.
“Hello.” Hellen chortled.
Kenny looked at her. He was a director, so when he saw someone, he would think about which role did the person can play.
Even in the entertainment industry, she was a rare beauty! She’s even more beautiful than she was in the live stream.
But Kenny knew her identity. The daughter of a rich family should not be an actor, so he said lightly, “Are you here to inspect us?”
As an investor, it was normal for The Jovano Group to send a few people to supervise them every day.
What’s more, Miss. Jovano was the one in charge. She didn’t care about the film recently, so Kenny couldn’t be bothered to do what he wanted.
Now that she was here, he didn’t mind it.
Hellen shook her head, sat on the chair next to him, and looked at the scene in the camera.
In the scene, the male lead was wearing classic garb. He made sword skills and then put it away. It was done perfectly.
Karim was the role he played. Other male actors were playing tricks, but he looked fierce and powerful.
“I came to visit.” Hellen pointed at Karim. “To visit him.”
Kenny was a little surprised, but he didn’t think too much about it. “He is free after the filming. Miss Jovano, please wait a minute.”
Hellen waited while chatting with Kenny.
They mostly talked about the Thousands of Miles, and Kenny’s expression gradually brightened.
“You seem to have read the novel as well. Your understanding of characters is unique, and many of the things that puzzled me have been solved!”
Hellen chuckled.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
After a while, Karim finished shooting and came to the director’s side.
“Hellen, are you anxious?”
“No.”
Hellen stood up and talked with Karim. Everyone on the production team was like watching gossip.
“Karim has been famous for so many years, but he has never had a girlfriend. Is he…”
“He even patted Miss Jovano’s head just now. It was so ambiguous, it must be like this!”
Everyone watched as Hellen got into Karim’s RV with a gossipy look.
“Isn’t Karim a clean freak? I heard that in addition to him and his assistant driver, he doesn’t allow anyone else to go to his RV!”
“Yeah, when he was filming a modern drama last time, an actress wanted to get into his car but was almost dumped by him!”
Amidst the gossip, behind a fake banyan tree not far away, Natalie was holding her phone with a sinister smile.
“I knew it! Hellen must come here for Karim!”
Her assistant carefully tugged at her sleeve. “Natalie, you’re done filming. Let’s go back. Don’t let anyone find us.”
“No, words are useless. I have to get more evidence!”
…
In the PV, Hellen sat in the back row and leaned back. “Why did you ask me to come here?”
“I’ll only stay here for three days. The day after tomorrow, I’ll go to the grasslands to film. I won’t be able to return in a few months.” Karim took out a box from a nearby bag and handed it to Hellen. “I prepared a birthday present for you in advance.”
Hellen took the box and said against her will, “You’re not sincere enough. You want me to come and take your gift personally.”
Karim laughed heartily and caressed her head. “Take a look. Do you like it?”
Hellen put the box into her bag, then said with fake anger, “No, I will open it until my birthday.”
