Translator: 549690339
Before nightfall, Lily Gray visited two industry veterans who had a close relationship with her mother.
Both of the veterans were famous actors in the entertainment industry, and they got along well with Mrs. Gray due to their joint charitable work back in the day.
Unfortunately, one of them had already retired from the entertainment circle for many years.
Although he believed that the Gray family business was not the unscrupulous company depicted in the news, he didn’t want to get involved in the mess since he had long retired.
As for the other veteran, Lily Gray managed to get in touch with him, only to find out he was abroad.
Over the phone, the voice of Reynaid Collins, one of the top directors in the country, came through.
“Lily, I heard about what’s happened even though I’m abroad. Uncle Collins and your mother are old friends, and if there’s anything 1 can do to help, I won’t refuse. However, my schedule this year is fully booked, and 1 might not even have time to come back for the lunar new year. I can help Gray in making an online statement, but 1 honestly don’t have time to direct this movie.”
Reynaid Collins was one of the top three directors in the country and had always focused on making films, never directing a TV series.
Lily Gray actually didn’t expect him to lower his standards and direct ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’ when she contacted him.
She sought his help for another reason.
“Uncle Collins, you don’t need to make a statement for me. You’re a pillar of the industry. It’s not suitable for you to be bothered with matters like this. Today, I mainly want to ask you for a favor in recommending a reliable director… You know, with everything that’s happened, it’s nearly impossible for Gray to find a capable director for this project. But I’m unwilling to settle for just anyone…”
Reynaid Collins laughed upon hearing this.
He might not be able to help with other things, but there was a suitable director candidate by his side at this time.
“Lily, don’t worry, Uncle Collins has someone perfect in mind for you. 1’11 have them head back to the country and help you right away… Oh, by the way…”
Having decided to help Lily Gray, Reynaid Collins chose to go all in.
“With the current situation of your TV series, I’m guessing many of the actors have left, right?”
Lily Gray understood immediately, “Yes… After this incident occurred, the somewhat famous actors started to worry about their safety. They don’t want to accept our drama anymore. It’s… really troublesome.”
Since Reynaid Collins himself was a director, he knew how difficult it was to prepare a production team.
Therefore, after hearing about how Vivian Walters had framed Gray, he felt righteous indignation.
“Lily… 1’11 send my most capable apprentice back to help you with directing this time. This child has learned a lot from me in the past two years. Most importantly, she’s a girl and a newcomer to the industry, so taking the role of director for your show shouldn’t generate any baseless rumors.”
“As for the actor issue… 1 can help you find a few veteran actors for the important supporting roles, but you’ll have to figure out the rest on your own.”
“I understand, thank you, Uncle Collins.”
Lily Gray was already very grateful for his help.
Before hanging up the phone, Mr. Collins stopped her as if remembering something.
“By the way, 1’11 send you the phone number of an acquaintance later and I’ll give him a heads up in advance. If he’s willing to take the male protagonist role in your show, you might still have a chance to turn things around. But he’s quite particular about the projects he takes on, so whether he’s moved or not, it’s up to you.”
Lily Gray agreed repeatedly, and after hanging up the phone, she received a text message on WhatsApp after a while.
The message simply read – David Redington, Telephone: XXXXXXXX
