Chapter 265 The Script
The opportunity he had invested all his savings in came to an abrupt end. Trivial matters pulled him away after a brief chat. He had just given her his favorite composition without even getting the chance to ask for her phone number before he was forced to leave.
In Chris’s pursuit of Elizabeth, he overlooked the girl who had always been by his side and adored him-
Josan.
Like him. Joan also lived in a basement, encountered rejection at every turn, grappled with society’s unwritten rules, and endured rent pressure, but she clung to her dreams and aspired to overcome them.
One was his affection, untouchably far; the other cherished him, supporting and encouraging him at the lowest point in his life.
The dilemma of choice seemed to be the biggest suspense in the movie.
Ultimately, while rescuing Chris, Joan sustained injuries in a car accident that prevented her from playing the piano ever again. Her dream was crushed.
Struggling continuously, Chris finally gave up his pursuit of Elizabeth and chose to stay by the side of Joan, who had always supported and cheered fo

But in the final moments, the scene shifted back to the night after the wedding, where Chris had a dream.
In the dream, he finally found the opportunity to confess his love to Elizabeth. Then, the scene shifted to the wedding, where the bride was no longer Joan but Elizabeth.
Joyce found the ending of the movie intriguing, as it moved away from the typical ‘wakes up from the dream and all ends well‘ scenario, offering a plot worthy of deeper discussion and thought.
After the movie’s release, Joyce thought that who Chris truly loved, whether Elizabeth or Joan, would certainly spark intense debate.
Elizabeth might not have a lot of screen time in the movie, but she was undoubtedly the worthy second. female lead.
Joyce chose this script because, aside from being a trendy low–budget film, it adds depth and humor to the clichés of the genre.
There were two other reasons for her choice: one was because the filming location was in Aquapolis; she wanted to take a break and come back home.
The other reason was because she owed the movie director a favor. Upon careful consideration, she agreed to act in the movie.

unimpressed with Chris’s choice.
“But he choose Joan in the end,” Joyce reminded her gently.
How could someone willingly give up the one they loved for someone else?
Mia said, “That just means he didn’t love her enough. Honestly, it’s about Chris’s male ego awakening. Once he gained fame, he didn’t want to be the one chasing anymore; naturally, he preferred someone like Joan who orbited around him, placing him first in everything.”
“Maggie, what do you think?” Mia turned to Maggie and asked.
Maggie thought about it for a while. She sipped her drink and slowly said, “I think he probably liked them both, but maybe he likes Elizabeth a bit more.”
Mia agreed and said. “I like eggplants and hate green peppers. No matter how nutritious green peppers are, they’ll never become something I like.”
Joyce chuckled and pointed out, “But Chris doesn’t hate Joan.”
“Exactly, which makes him a scumbag,” they concluded with a laugh.
After discussing for a while, they realized that perspectives can vary greatly. The interpretations of a movie or story can differ widely depending on individual viewpoints and experiences.
Every person’s perspective and background were different, revealing the complexity of human nature.
Human nature was not something that could be generalized–no one was pure white through and through.

“Are there any new series or films in the works in the industry?” Maggie mused, pondering that the blockbusters two years from now will likely be in pre–production around this time. The timing was just. right.
After some thought, Joyce responded warmly, “There are a few historical dramas and fantasy series in the works for television, and for movies, there’s a traditional mythological film, three or four thrillers, and a few family–friendly ones.”
Maggie probed for more details. Then she said, “There’s a period drama titled ‘A Queen’s Gambit‘ that I’ve read the script for. I had Mia and Leo invest in it a while back, and it’s currently cast. Joyce, you should try
out for it.”
If Maggie remembered correctly, ‘A Queen’s Gambit‘ was only listed as an ‘A‘ level project at its inception due to limited funding, with only one or two A–list actors attached.
But
upon its release, the drama became an unparalleled period drama for the past decade or even two, with every role, down to the supporting characters, all of the actors and actresses shooting to stardom.
So when it crossed her mind, Maggie seized the opportunity to make a hefty investment through Leo’s entertainment company.
Of course, there were a few other projects she planned to invest in, but they had limited funds at their disposal.
They don’t have much money, and their financial stretch was wide, which made for an inevitable strain on

the cash flow.
This led Maggie to contemplate the possibility of getting her brother involved in the business.
The Adams did have some entertainment ventures, but it wasn’t their main business. She had been cantions aboo: the Camerons finding out, but with little time to spare, she needed to capitalize on the ispportunity to strengthen her brother’s auris,
Upon hearing this, Jove nodded and said, “I heard some rumors before but didn’t pay much attention. I’ll have someone reach out to the production team”
“Try to see if the lead role is still available, Maggie suggested.
Maggie recalled that they should have cast the female lead by now, but the series‘ success revealed that the original actress didn’t end up playing the part. The original lead actress had scheduling conflicts and a bad attitude, prompting the director to dismiss her from the production and reshoot all her scenes.
So there was still a chance for Joyce.
“The lead role isn’t confirm?” Joyce looked at Maggie, surprised that she was so well–informed about the industry.
“Compete for other roles and prepare for the lead too. I heard that the director of this drama is particularly strict, but the actress playing the lead has always had a poor work ethic. There might be an opportunity later. Maggie suggested.
Joyce, always astute, sensed that things might not be as simple, but she didn’t ask further and kept it in
mind.
Maggie thought for a moment and felt that the protagonist’s role was perfect for Joyce.
Charlotte, the main character, hails from a noble family and found herself among other young women brought to the palace for marriage to the king. Despite her lack of interest in gaining royal favor, she consistently pretended to be ill to avoid attention, maintaining a cold and reserved demeanor.
