Chapter 881: Chapter 881 The gap is too big_1
Knowing he was Tiffany Lynch’s new influential backer, they just hadn’t expected him to suddenly visit the set.
The rage they had originally wanted to vent was now swallowed down.
Not only that, but they also had to speak to him in a pleasant and flattering manner.
They had been considering taking a mid-scene break to curry favor with Jimmy Simmons, but at that moment, they overheard several crew members gossiping nearby.
They didn’t recognize Jimmy and hadn’t noticed his presence, so they gossiped unrestrainedly, speaking the blunt truth.
"That empress character is supposed to be dignified and graceful, elegant and composed. Tiffany’s acting is just too petty. She doesn’t look the part of the empress at all."
"The director, too, why didn’t they let Hannah Winter play the role? At least she has acting skills. Instead, they choose someone with such a huge disparity, and I heard they’re from some kind of group. The difference is too great."
"Exactly, she was a child star, and yet, her acting skills are worse than my grandma’s..."
The director, standing by, could feel the sweat trickling down and hurriedly sent an assistant to shoo the crew away. Then they had to check Jimmy’s expression.
Seeing a hint of displeasure and darkness in his eyes, their heart nearly leaped out of their chest.
So the director, screenwriter, and various crew members all started praising Tiffany’s acting skills. Their words were mostly flattery, mixed with fear, without a shred of sincerity.
A man like Jimmy could easily hear the insincerity. His gaze landed on Tiffany, not too far away, and he noticed the stiffness in her facial expression.
Even someone like him, who knew nothing about acting, could tell that Tiffany’s acting was not good.
Nor was her attitude.
He furrowed his brow, listening to the flattery around him only to feel annoyed, "Shut up, do you think I’m blind?"
Everyone instantly fell silent.
Hank Ward, seeing this, immediately came forward to disperse the crowd.
Jimmy’s expression did not soften, he looked tired as he took his gaze off Tiffany and closed his eyes, "I remember Tiffany was a child star. She had already acted in quite a few productions when we were still in school, but her family didn’t approve of her pursuing this career."
Hank listened quietly, not interrupting, until Jimmy had finished speaking. Then he added, "Perhaps it’s because she’s been out of touch for so long that she’s a bit rusty now."
At those words, Jimmy opened his eyes, "I remember you seemed to have a bias against Tiffany, so why are you defending her now?"
Hank paused, looking down.
Jimmy raised a hand, signaling Hank to push his wheelchair away, "Alright, I can still see what her level is. Some things are just not the same as before."
Tiffany’s acting skills truly weren’t good, though she had some talent, it was limited to roles that closely matched her own personality.
Like the lotus flower fairy maiden in "Fairy."
Jimmy had seen some clips before and hadn’t thought much of it then, but today, watching it brought out a strange feeling.
It wasn’t clear what that feeling was, but in his memory, Tiffany was absolutely gentle and elegant, a person of the world who was resplendent as moonlight.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made his heart beat faster back then.
But now...
It didn’t feel the same.
Yet he couldn’t express what exactly was different.
Jimmy’s legs had recovered enough for him to walk normally, but after walking for an extended period, they would still ache. His visit to the set today had been spontaneous, and he had taken a less-traveled path.
There were few people on the road.
However, just as he was about to leave, a group of fans suddenly appeared ahead.
