Chapter 2659
Most importantly, he believed that Hailey had a kind possessiveness over Athena. Many people thought that possessiveness only existed in romantic relationships, but that was realistically not the case. Possessiveness could also exist in friendships, and oftentimes, it could be even stronger than those in romantic relationships.
"Yeah, I thought Hailey had a secret crush on Athena!" His words provoked laughter from the audience.
"Haha, well, that's one way to interpret it!"
The screening was much more successful than Melody imagined. Answering questions from the audience was also much easier than she had imagined. Everyone was very kind, and the questions they asked were entirely related to the movie's plot.
There were rarely any sharp questions directed at Melody. However, what she did not know was that before the screening, Lucas had arranged for his men to filter out unsavory characters with a dark past from the audience.
Despite believing in Melody's charm, Lucas wanted to ensure the roadshow went smoothly. He would not allow anyone disruptive to be present.
Although he did not have time to be there in person, he closely monitored Melody through Paige's video. He felt genuinely proud of her when he saw how confident and eloquent she was on stage. He believed that Melody would surely skyrocket to fame.
"Mister Shaun, you mentioned that this film is the culmination of five years of preparation. What are your expectations for this movie?" Finally, a question was directed at Shaun.
He took the microphone and
responded, "You hit the nail on the head with that question. We spent nearly a whole year in the fishing village for this fill to gain a detailed understanding of how the locals live. When we first heard this story, like most of you, we wondered, "Could there still be such backward places in this day and age?'
"It wasn't until we arrived at the fishing village that we realized we had been too arrogant. Since then,! understood that to tell this story
well, we had to be rooted in this net
fishing village. We aren't here t
expose any darkness; we're simply sharing the existence of the fishing village. That there still exists such a backward place in this world.
"I, along with all the cast members, hope more people can know of this place. After the movie finishes its run in the theaters, we'll be donating a portion of the ticket sales to
eon
fishing village. We hope that doing this, it'll be possible to ridge the gap between the fishing village and the big city so that backwater places like these will become fewer." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Shaun's intentions were very noble. His style for this movie was a bit more mainstream than his usual style, which was not what they had expected and would undoubtedly spark such discussions.
Since someone brought this story to their attention in the first place, they could not possibly remain indifferent. Since the movie had been made, they had to do their best to promote it. At the very least, they had to make that fishing village widely known.
He believed they could achieve this, especially with Lucas backing them. With Rivera Group's support, he believed the small fishing village would be transformed. Their main goal was to make more and more people aware of these fishing villages. Whether in tourism or fisheries, any assistance they could provide would be their success.
"Well, Shaun, if that's your goal, you've successfully captured my attention. After this ends, I think I'll visit this fishing village. I also want to know what kind of place Athena and Hailey grew up in."
