Chapter 319 Caught in the Crossfire
“So, the condition of your cooperation with GK Pictures is to make them the female leads?”
“That is basically that, like what you said.” Mr. Simpson chuckled, his voice sounding a bit diffident.
Gilbert sneered and said nothing more.
“Mr. Kooper, let’s think about it; they have popularity and reputation the best among the actresses. Make them the female leads, and we will invest. In the end, it will be you who get the most benefits,” Mr. Russell
said.
“Absolutely, Mr. Kooper.” Mr. Park also had
something to say. “This is a win-win opportunity for both sides. It is better to use them instead of casting those actresses embroiled in scandals as the female leads.”
Lola smiled smugly. The other actresses also looked at Gilbert with anticipation. They were famous, but most of them were only the female leads in small
budget web series. If they could star in a GK drama, their status in the entertainment industry would be raised several notches. This was a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for them.
Everyone was waiting for Gilbert’s answer. Kisa and Jensen felt as if they did not exist. It now dawned on Kisa that the investors only wanted to work with GK, and they invited her and Jensen probably because they just wanted them to be substitutes.
She looked over at Jensen and saw him sipping on his drink with a smile without the slightest upset. Seeing this, Kisa said nothing and just silently watched on.
Mr. Simpson pulled her to sit down and smiled at Gilbert. “So, Mr. Kooper, doesn’t this mean you won’t work with us?”
Gilbert chuckled. “It is you guys who don’t want to work with GK Pictures, isn’t it?”
Mr. Simpson was not too happy, but did not show it. He glanced at the other investors and then turned his attention to Kisa. “What is your stand on this, Ms. Becker?”
Kisa was eating her food in silence. When she noticed all eyes were on her, she panicked for a few seconds. But soon she calmed down, slowly put down her cutlery, and smiled at the investors. “As Mr. Kooper just said, if the J & K Film Group wants to work with you, we will have to make the four of them the leads in the drama, right?”
“That is exactly what I mean. We are also trying to make everyone win. It all depends on whether you will agree to this condition. If so, we can sign the contract right now.”
Gilbert snickered and continued to sip on his wine.
