Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Actor Poster
In the dim background, a young girl is surrounded by the pointing and unusual gazes of others, filled with disgust and hatred, her coarse hemp clothing smeared with mud and disarray.
The entire environment was oppressive and suffocating, as if it would drown someone at the bottom of the sea.
The girl’s eyes were full of despair and fatigue, but the light that shone from the bottom of her eyes could still make people feel she always harbored hope.
Maybe she was waiting for someone’s redemption, or perhaps struggling with herself.
It was just a simple official announcement poster, but it still caused a huge stir.
On the poster, the words "Rosalind" were like blood-stained red, giving a feeling of decline, yet they were impactful.
—Hannah Winter’s resources are heaven-sent! And she’s working with the great director Thomas Campbell!
—Sister, that makeup is so real, but it still can’t hide her beauty!
—If you’re going to play ugly, then do it properly; why show that face, it’s not like we’re looking at her face, ugh!
—For those who say she is playing ugly, please read the character introduction. The female protagonist Rosalind is framed out of envy by others for her excessively beautiful appearance. What are you talking about ’playing ugly’?
—This must have just started filming, right? We’ll have to wait a long time before it’s released, really tantalizing.
—Those who can’t wait might look forward to The Kite.
—The producer of this piece is Crystal Quach! It seems the Best Actress really enjoys being a talent-spotter. She discovered Jackie Qualls back in the day, and now she has an eye on Hannah Winter. Maybe Hannah will be the next Best Actress.
—How old is Hannah Winter? Only twenty-one this year, right? To say she’s a Best Actress is an exaggeration.
Since it was just the actor’s official announcement posted by the crew, it only sparked discussions for a while before the buzz gradually died down.
But even so, it still made many people green with envy.
Those in the know were jealous that Hannah had found a wealthy patron, while those out of the loop could only marvel at Hannah Winter’s incredible luck.
Of course, some thought Jackie Qualls might be pulling strings behind the scenes.
After all, ever since this Best Actor made his confession online, he consistently positioned himself as a pursuer, as if making cameo appearances in dramas without conditions was a common thing.
This led to netizens frequently teasing him as a lovelorn Best Actor.

Jimmy Simmons held his phone and typed out a line of text.
—Auntie, congratulations.
His finger hovered over the send button for a long time, unable to press it.
After hesitating for a while, he eventually deleted the previous title and only left a simple "Congratulations."
The message had been sent for a while without any reply.
Jimmy looked up, staring at the poster on the computer screen for a long time.
She was beautiful, talented, and those eyes seemed to speak.
Going out to gatherings, the friends by his side would joke that his uncle had an eye for talent, securing such a jewel and keeping her close early on.
Many who wanted to take over were envious, but judging by Arnold Simmons’ attitude, he was spoiling her rotten.
Most of the talk was such joking, and even in Arnold’s absence, no one dared to say anything excessive behind his back.
But Jimmy understood that those people probably wished for Arnold to fall so they could snatch her away.
He wished it, too.
"How can you not be moved by such a pretty auntie?"
The teasing remark from his fair-weather friends hit right where it hurt.
Moved, how could he not be moved.
To say it was love would be too much; it was just seeing someone pleasing to the eye, someone he liked, and just so happened to be Arnold’s person, which made him want to snatch her away all the more.
But after all...
"Don’t you all even think about it, she’s my auntie."
He said nonchalantly while drinking, replying to everyone’s jests.
They were just kidding around, calling him a prude.
