Chapter 391
Ariana brushed aside his despondency and continued, “I wasn’t suggesting negotiating with entertainment companies for investment.
There’s a film festival at the end of this month.
Many investors and film critics will be in attendance.
We can use this opportunity to showcase the script.
”
“I’m aware of that film festival, but it’s for short films.
” Jayson hadn’t maintained much hope at this point.
He lacked the influence and connections to succeed in the entertainment industry.
“I know it’s for short films.
I’ve looked into instances where outstanding short films were discovered and subsequently invested in to become full-length movies,”
Ariana explained.
Jayson was unclear about Ariana’s intentions.
“What are you suggesting?”
“We can reverse the process.
First, we turn a portion of the script into a short film to take part in the film festival,” she proposed.
Jayson’s initial reaction was skepticism.
“Would that work? There’s very little time.
The festival is in just about two weeks, and where can we find actors at such short notice?”
“I have an actor in mind.
” Ariana cut him off, speaking concisely.
“My original purpose to contact you was to recommend an actor I know.
Although he’s a newcomer, he’s highly talented.
I think this script would be perfect for him.
”
Jayson replied hesitantly, “But the time constraints could result in an even worse outcome than what we’ve anticipated.
”
“It’s a separate issue.
We need to at least give it a try,” Ariana sighed.

“I understand, but I’d rather sell the script than have it poorly produced.
” Jayson’s emotions wavered.
“I genuinely appreciate your help, but my original intention doesn’t allow me to produce the script roughly.
I want it to be done well; I don’t want it to become a disaster.
”
Even Ariana, known for her patience, couldn’t help but touch her forehead.
He was just too stubborn.
Ariana had to be more assertive.
“Wait until you see the actor.
You won’t be disappointed in him.
”
On the other end, Jayson returned to the ward after ending the call, a worried expression on his face.
Julissa had awakened.
She appeared much better than she had two days ago.
Sitting up in bed, she observed Jayson’s downcast expression and knew something was amiss.
“What’s the matter? Is something wrong?”
Jayson didn’t want to burden his wife with his concerns, so he tried to smile and said, “Nothing.
Just some thoughts on my mind.
”
“Are you concemed about the script?” Julissa hit the bull’s eye.
Jayson realized he couldn’t keep it from his wife, so he divulged the details of his conversation with Ariana.
“So, you’re afraid you’ll ruin the script yourself?” Julissa inquired.
