Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200 Malicious Intentions
Due to Arnold Simmons’s influence, even those marketing accounts that had always been fabricating stories and making distasteful comments dared not spread any rumors about Hannah.
Lately, Hannah had received quite a few movie scripts.
Jack Stewart glanced over them briefly and saw nothing impressive, and even if there were any decent scripts, the co-stars were all those so-called recently popular "top celebrities."
Lacking in acting skills and real talent, they just relied on their fans’ hype to elevate their own status—it was clear they wanted to use Hannah as a stepping stone to increase their own value.
Of course, Jack would never agree to that.
However, among these scripts, there were some good ones; it was just that the people involved behind the scenes were somewhat awkward.
Hannah flipped through the two scripts Jack passed to her.
The investors, directors, producers, and the provisional actors were all listed clearly, with only the lead actress’s role left vacant.
The compensation and role were very attractive, purely heroine-centric scripts—these two scripts seemed to exist solely to showcase the lead actress.
It was just that on the producer slot, one list Jackie Qualls, the other Louis Snyder.
Jack provided a very precise comment, "Clearly, they’re up to no good."
Over the past year, Jackie Qualls had relied on his previous connections, and Louis Snyder on the Yarn Family, both flourishing in the movie circle like fish in water.
Nowadays, almost every hot movie featured their names.
At first, their fans couldn’t accept this, especially Louis’s fans, who made a fuss for months. But once Louis’s first web series, which he invested in and produced, came out, it quieted them down a lot.
Louis’s judgments were indeed good, especially in selecting scripts. In just a short time, the money he earned was at least several times more than what he used to make as an actor.
He had truly become a big boss.
As time passed, even if the fans were unwilling to let go, not seeing their idol also gradually led them to give up.
Switching to another celebrity to follow was the same.
While discussing the gossip of the circle, Jack added, "Actually, both scripts are pretty good. If you want to act in them, it’s fine. They’re just producers, not actors, so there’s no interaction on screen; just avoid them and it’ll be fine."
Had the scripts not been so promising, he wouldn’t have shown them to Hannah.
While outsiders might not understand, Jack was well aware of the complications between Hannah and these two men.
In his view, both were categorically scumbags, on the same level as George River.
Especially Louis Snyder, who once thought of using Hannah to climb the ladder here had done plenty of foolish things.
What’s the use of regretting now?
Then there was Jackie Qualls, who, though seemingly normal, never considered Hannah’s situation when taking actions, as if he was always playing the role of a passionate lover.
He lived as though he was constantly acting.
In the end, Hannah didn’t choose either of the scripts.
For the near future, she would focus on her third album. Her fans liked to hear her sing, so she would sing.
After the album was done, she would start planning for a new movie.
The new movie would still be financed by Arnold Simmons, assembling a new and luxurious team.
She had already received the award for Best Actress, and the next step was to expand her international fame.
Hannah had plans for her future, and Jack respected all her decisions, but he suggested an addition to her existing plan.
"How about trying to hold a solo concert?"

The hotel room.
The assistant knocked and entered, immediately spotting Jackie Qualls standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
With his back turned, his face wasn’t visible, but even just his silhouette exuded an immense sense of loneliness.
