Section 42 The Dance Party and the Star Chasers (Part II)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Participating in this dance party is a rare opportunity for Lizzie to be harassed, although it may be harassed, but it can increase Jenny's status and completely overshadow other competitors.

In the end, only Catherine and three other ordinary actresses participated, and those three actresses came today in small dresses that are rarely worn in ordinary times, and even one actress even paid for a dress that was specially paid for.

Catherine also arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, but she didn't show up immediately under the pretext of meeting Agatha, but now that the ball was about to start, no one had yet appeared, which made Lizzie panic.

As one of the shareholders of Salomon Company, she knows more than ordinary businessmen, and knows that Franklin and others are planning diplomacy with the two countries, and this ball may be one of the key points, and it will be full of temptations and confrontations.

Although Catherine did not play a practical role in it, she was a necessary embellishment as a communicative lubricant, and I heard that Sir Philip did not resist the Shadow animation, and between Jenny and Catherine, he preferred some of the roles Catherine had played.

But when he arrived, and asked to see Catherine by name, there was such an embarrassing thing, and Catherine was gone.

"Mr. Solomon, here I am. A low, somewhat muffled female voice rang out at the side door of the hall.

A beautiful woman, dressed in a fairly long, floor-length gown, poked her head in through the doorway.

Wang Qinian hurriedly stepped forward and beckoned: "Why are you here, not in the dance hall, come in." ”

"Yes, Miss Catherine. The merchants whispered.

In other words, the merchants would be surprised and accosted at the same time, but Sir Philip greeted him as soon as he entered the door, and of course the others did not dare to come forward and rob him.

"This is Sir Philip, and he loves to see some of the films you have acted in. Wang Qinian said with a smile.

Catherine struggled to squeeze out a smile and held her skirt in her hands and bowed to Philip.

"Sure enough, Miss Catherine, you are even more beautiful and charming than in the Shadow Animation. Philip praised without hesitation, and at the same time looked at Catherine with hot eyes.

Catherine was slightly alarmed, and she had plucked up the courage to come to this ball.

There is no way, she and Jenny have been fighting in secret, and they both want to become the female number one promoted by Solomon's company. But Jenny has the support behind Lizi, and she has always pressed her, if it weren't for the fact that Salomon Company has always lacked a large number of excellent actors, and after several years of filming and performances, Catherine has become an excellent movie star, and she may even be kicked out by Lizi, after all, when she was still in the Daffodil Troupe, she used some small means to get on top, and the result annoyed Lizi.

So, in order to change this unfavorable situation, and for her greater ambitions and goals, Catherine bravely agreed to come to the ball.

This is her chance, and if Jenny doesn't participate, and she does, then the benefits are likely to be doubled.

But in the end, she has only one goal, Wang Qinian.

Yes, on the premise of offending Lizi, if you still want to come out, and even have a big exhibition, Jeanne, and possible competitors in the future, then at least there must be a backer behind you.

In Salomon Company, there is no more suitable than Wang Qinian, even Mr. Obier cannot be compared, which is not only the reason why Wang Qinian is a major shareholder.

And for the film industry now operated by Salomon Company, Wang Qinian's role in it is very obvious and direct, regardless of the identity of the shareholder, Wang Qinian is now the best screenwriter in the company, with the company's exhibition in recent years, in addition to Wang Qinian, there are three or four full-time screenwriters, but none of them can compare to Wang Qinian.

Their screenwriting talents are far from comparable, even Mr. Tom under Viscount Modobalov, these screenwriters are imitating some of the scripts that Wang Qinian has already come up with.

In addition, not to mention Wang Qinian's directorial talent, in short, whether it is status or his own talent, Catherine set the goal for him to be the best choice.

As long as she has his support, it will be impossible for Lizihua to suppress her anymore.

But since Wang Qinian became the internal affairs officer of the Free City, it is very difficult for Catherine to get close, even if there is contact, it is also when Wang Qinian makes blockbusters every year, but at that time, too many people are together, and it is not convenient.

Catherine needed an opportunity, so when the invitation to the ball came, she boldly agreed, even though she knew that she might be entangled by those businessmen during the entertainment, and she needed Wang Qinian's support.

In order to avoid possible harassment from the merchants, she avoided it in the name of meeting Agatha first, and only came in when the ball began.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she was still targeted, and the other party named her to see her, and she was a great nobleman from Asturias, and even his target, Mr. Solomon, was by his side.

"Yes, I'm Catherine, thank you for your appreciation. Catherine took the plunge and stood aside.

Philip over there began to describe his admiration for Catherine, of course, this admiration does not seem vulgar, more like the love of fans for movie stars, although the gaze has not stopped on Catherine for a moment, but at least it is not as obscene as Catherine fears most.

"Miss Catherine, I remember your first film was Alexander and the Forty Thieves, you played Malkina, and the second was the Wizard of Oz, well, in this one you played an evil witch. Your play is really vivid, what you play is like, whether it is a positive role or a negative role, you are so handy to play, always so charming......"

Catherine slowly settled down, the other party's eyes may be too warm, but compared to the eyes of those businessmen who are looking at it now, at least they are very polite to speak, for his praise, Catherine also felt sincerely happy, she is also appreciated, and the other party's identity is quite noble.

However, she did not forget the purpose of her trip, so she deliberately lamented: "Alas, this is all in the past, but people can't always stay put, I haven't had a suitable role for a long time." ”

"Really, why is this happening?" Philip looked at Wang Qinian in surprise.

Catherine also set her eyes on Wang Qinian, which was full of sadness and grievances, as well as a trace of imperceptible expectation.

Wang Qinian was slightly stunned, and on the way to greet Philip, he learned that the viscount of Asturias was actually a fan of Catherine.

Wang Qinian did not feel disgusted by Catherine's invitation to play, on the contrary, he faintly appreciated this woman's bravery in daring to seize an opportunity.

In addition to Lizibao in the Daffodil Theater Troupe, Wang Qinian admired Catherine a little, he did not forget Jì, when they first met, it was Lizibao who had a conflict because Catherine changed the play without authorization.

In this era, he needs this kind of person, he needs this kind of person to be a partner, and someone like Jenny is just a puppet.

"That's probably because I'm filming very little now, Sir Philip, you see, I've become one of the Home Ministers of the Free City, and there's a great deal of work waiting for me every day, and I've promised Richie and Mr. Obier that I'll let them go as soon as the Solomon Company gets through the very first difficult period. Wang Qinian explained: "So, now I can only shoot one or two Shadow animations a year. ”

"Too little, too little. Philip couldn't help rubbing his hands and nodded again: "But I understand that Free City can't do without you, and I have to say that Lord Franklin has found a good helper." But I still want to give Miss Catherine more opportunities in your new film, knowing that my daughter and I love Miss Catherine's performances so much. ”

Catherine was overjoyed, and her favor for Philip increased greatly, and the viscount said to Wang Qinian that it was better to say it first than herself, even if Wang Qinian did not agree immediately, she would have a reason to ask him again in private.

Lizi's face was a little ugly, originally she hoped that Jenny would come tonight, because she expected that Catherine, who never let go of the opportunity, might take the opportunity to get close to Wang Qinian.

Although Wang Qinian said that he would not interfere in her affairs, he has always been the majority shareholder of Solomon, and even if this factor is removed, from the perspective of screenwriters and directors, it is difficult for Li Zibao to refuse.

"You, did your daughter come with you today?" said Catherine, holding back the joy in her heart.

"Oh, she's not here now, but she'll come, because I'm coming to the City of Liberty on the orders of His Majesty, so I don't dare to delay. She was guarded by my personal guard, and was expected to arrive a little later, perhaps tomorrow. Philip laughed.

"Can I know her name?"

"Of course, my daughter likes your performance more than I do, and I started watching the Shadow animation under her influence, her name is Burrengalia. ”

"It's a great name. Catherine clasped her hands together in her heart and complimented her heartily.

"Solomon, you haven't granted my request. Philip said to Wang Qinian again.

Wang Qinian nodded slightly, "Well, in my new film, I will consider giving Catherine a suitable main role, but this has to be discussed with Lizi, after all, the actors are managed by her." ”

Faced with this situation, of course, it was difficult for Lizibao on the side to say the opposite, so she could only laugh and laugh.

This is enough to make Catherine happy, because just based on Wang Qinian's words just now, and Lizibao did not refuse, in Wang Qinian's blockbuster film a year, Catherine can sit in the female role, at least a female number two.

If she can become the female number one, then this year will overtake Jenny, which is not unimportant to Catherine's future exhibition, her main opponent now is still Jenny with the support of Lizi, Ciri's acting direction is relatively single, suitable for playing positive roles, she herself will not play any vicious queens or the like, and even the clever slave girl Malkina's slightly more complex character is a challenge for her; 。

"When your daughter comes, please invite me, I wish to meet her, she must be a beautiful girl. Catherine said to Philip in delight.

"Absolutely. Philip was also very happy, he turned to Wang Qinian and said, "I have a request, I don't know if the Free City can send a guard to pick up my daughter." She's guarded by my personal guard, so safety isn't too much of an issue, but I'm not familiar with the road, and I'm worried that they'll go astray in case they end up in orc territory. ”

"Oh, that's what we should do, you and Miss Burrengalia are our honored guests, and I'll tell Lord Franklin about this, and you can rest assured that I can go there myself. Wang Qinian said.

Philip nodded with satisfaction, Catherine's heart beat slightly, and she blurted out, "I can go too." Oh, I mean, Miss Brengaria must have been eager to see me in the procession that greeted her. ”

"Of course, of course. Philip said happily.

At this time, the chief manager came over and whispered two words in Wang Qinian's ear.

Wang Qinian hurriedly said to Philip: "The ball has officially begun. ”
