The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2214

"Given who Melody's husband is, does she really need this chump change from her role? She certainly won't be as serious as hardworking as me! I'm pretty sure everyone knows deep down that she doesn't even need the audience.

"Her family background is different from us ordinary actresses. Even if you elevate her to stardom, she'll still have to go home and give birth once the Riveras told her to. I bet she has no intention of staying in the industry for long."

In this case, Tracy accidentally hit the mark with her assumptions.

Melody indeed had no intention of permanently staying in the industry; she just wanted to act in roles that she liked. She might continue acting for a few more years if she came across a good script. Otherwise, she would rather quit early and find other work.

"If you don't agree, I'll have to resort to this. I heard there's a well-edited video by the reporters that hasn't been released yet! I..."

Seeing Tracy getting ready to act impulsively, the producer quickly stopped her. "Fine, it's just more screen time you want, right? Consider it done. Just don't cause any more trouble online!"

"As expected of a producer. Your mind works fast," Tracy remarked. She had achieved her goal, and with a cold smile, she left.

Since they had reached a deal, she needed to figure out how to clarify things to the crew. After all, she was still the supporting actress in the film, and in the future, she would play a role even more critical than Melody's. Thus, it might significantly impact her influence if negative rumors about her spread in this regard.

Melody only heard about the outcome of their discussion later. She thought Shaun and the producer would take legal action to prevent Tracy from spreading lies, but to her surprise, they ended up compromising.

"So what did Miss Tracy ask for?" Melody, holding the script in her hand, was not the only one affected by the public discourse. Even the crew members were influenced.

Even Shaun had seen a significant drop in his own work efficiency. He would prefer not to compromise, if possible, but there was no conclusive evidence to prove that the videos were edited.

Tracy had prepared so well for this, and they never anticipated such a controversy, leaving them with hardly any visual evidence to use.

Shaun sighed. He felt he had repeatedly failed to take care of Melody. He promised her that she would only have to focus on acting, unbothered by all the work politics.

However, upon joining the crew, Melody's life took a chaotic turn with various strange events unfolding. To make matters worse, the entire production team was dragged into the scandal too, and Shaun could not help but wonder if they had chosen the wrong time to start filming.

"Speaking of which, I owe you an apology. Her only demand is that I give her more screen time than you. In name, she's still the supporting actress, but we'll be secretly making her the female lead," explained Shaun.

Melody opened her mouth in surprise. "After all that, that's the only demand she had?" She could not decide whether Tracy was foolish or just having too much time on her hands. How could her agent let her act recklessly like that?

"You don't need to apologize to me. I'm perfectly fine with her demand. This way, the crew won't have to continue suffering either, and we can continue with the shooting. It's a win-win situation," reassured Melody.

Melody genuinely did not mind. Occasionally, she found herself wondering about Tracy's motivations for making such choices. She did not feel upset about having fewer scenes, and she certainly did not blame Shaun or the producer for the situation. It was clear that they had tried their hardest to protect her.

No matter how many seconds her character appeared on the screen, it represented a significant leap for her in the industry. Especially for someone like her, a newcomer who went from zero to starring on the big screen.
