Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 117

After sitting in the living room awhile, Stacey stood up and went upstairs to check on Lily. She was a bit worried that Lily might wake up.

To her surprise, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Lily had already woken

1. up. The baby was sitting on the bed, looking a bit dazed. When she heard the noise at the door, she turned her little head and looked towards her mother.

When Lily saw her mom, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said softly, “Mom.”

“Yeah, Stacey responded, walking over to pick up her.

The calm days didn’t last long. The next day, Lynn sent a message saying Stacey had become very popular and that many directors and brands wanted to collaborate with her.

Lynn didn’t interfere much with third–party endorsements, simply passing on the information of interested brands for Stacey to choose from.

However, she had a special recommendation for a script called The Empress.

Among the scripts that wanted to collaborate, The Empress was just a small production, its conditions only slightly better than the previous Lovey Princess. But this script was unique. Its plot was distinctive and unlike the usual generic storylines in the market.

If they could ensure the script for The Empress stayed clean, avoiding any unnecessary meddling, and if the actors could embody their roles and meticulously bring each scene to life, there was a good chance this script could make her famous again, but with a completely different character.

The female lead in Lovey Princess was more of a sweet, naive character, leaving the audience feeling warm and fuzzy and always wanting to smile.

In contrast, the female lead in The Empress was fierce and beautiful, with a queen- like vibe and presence.

“Of course, a script with a unique twist could also be a major flop. There’s not guarantee that the film will make a hit, and the risk of it failing is high.

“In comparison, traditional, formulaic scripts may lack novelty but have a stable audience base. As long as there are no significant mistakes during filming, it’s

generally easier to succeed. It might not become a huge hit, but it won’t do poorly either.

“You must decide whether to go with The Empress or opt for a more conventional script. Think it over carefully, and let me know your decision.”

After recommending. Lynn elaborated on the differences, pros, and cons of The Empress and the other conventional scripts, letting Stacey decide.

“I’ll think it over. Thank you, Lynn,” Stacey said, noting Lynn’s advice with gratitude.

“Oh, by the way, Lynn. I’ve moved to Hivals now, just to keep you informed,” Stacey added suddenly

Since Lynn was her manager, it was easier to arrange work if she was informed about such changes.

Lynn nodded. “Yes, Charlie already told me. The company will also move to Hivalis soon, so don’t worry”

Stacey was silent for a moment, surprised by the sudden news,

Charlie had registered the company, so it must have been his idea to move it to Hivalis

Despite the surprise, she felt sorse warmthin her heart.

“I see. Thank you, Lynn” Stacey said gratefully.

Lynn smiled and replied, “Becky, you don need to keep thanking me. Your talent is exceptional, and your rapid rise has added another stellar achievement to my career. Let’s continue to work together and grow mutually

“Yes, I get it. Let’s keep working hard together” Stacey cheerfully encouraged

“Let’s do our best,” Lynn replied with a smile.

After hanging up, Stacey immediately turned on her computer, downloaded the files Lynn had just sent, unzipped them, and found the script for The Empress. She then began reading it carefully.

She quickly discovered that The Empress was a script adapted from a novel.

Intrigued, she picked up her phone and searched for the original story.

The original work was not too short but not brief either, totaling 600,000 words.

Putting everything else aside, Stacey dedicated her time to thoroughly studying the novel. After finishing it, she also read through the script, spending a total of two weeks on this endeavor.

When Lynn called again to ask if she had decided which script to choose, Stacey responded without hesitation, “Lynn, I want to take The Empress.”

The Empress was a challenge for her, but the main character, Charlotte, a strong and confident woman, was the kind of role she aspired to play.

However, Lynn did not smile. She looked worried and was silent momentarily before speaking. “Becky, I’ve got a bad news and a good news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

Stacey’s heart sank, a sense of foreboding washing over her.

“What’s the bad news?” she asked cautiously.

Lynn sighed before speaking. “It seems Janet has also set her sights on the The Empress script. Her manager, Lisa, is currently negotiating with the director.“”

This was indeed bad news. Stacey’s expression darkened. After reading the original novel and the script, Charlotte had become a queen in her mind. She was noble, powerful, beautiful, and confident.

Stacey couldn’t bear the thought of Janet playing this role.”

Imagining Janet as Charlotte was unbearable. Her queen could not be Janet.

“What’s the good news?” Stacey asked cautiously.

Lynn, remaining calm, said, “The good news is that the director of The Empress hasn’t agreed to let Janet play the role yet. If you work hard, you might still have a chance to win the role.”

“I will try my best, Stacey responded without hesitation.

Lynn nodded. “Alright, I’ll give you three more days. During these three days,

study Charlotte’s character thoroughly. After that, I’ll take you to meet the director. You’ll perform as Charlotte before them and show them you are the best choice. for this role, more fitting than Janet.”

“Okay,” Stacey agreed quickly.

“Good luck.” Lynn encouraged with a smile.

Stacey took a deep breath and seriously said, “Lynn, don’t worry. I will give it my all. I can do this.”

“Good, I believe in you,” Lynn said with a smile. “I look forward to your performance in three days.”

“Sure.” Stacey nodded eagerly.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. I’ll see you in three days,” Lynn said.

“Okay,” Stacey agreed.
