Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116
There’s another reason this show is so popular.
Because it’s real...
Why did Alaric James dare to show such blatant appreciation for her on stage, insisting on taking her as his disciple?
He even directly cast his vote for her.
It wasn’t just because of his own status, but also because of this show’s reputation.
Even after he said all that, no one would think there was any kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation.
And this William Wang seems to be the newly replaced mentor for this season...
"You mean he was planted here by someone?"
Bella Green’s smile grew even colder, her gaze chilling as she looked at that gentle, refined man with the warm smile.
William Wang was also very well-known in the industry.
He had a great reputation and strong acting skills, and he was even a visiting professor at the drama academy.
But two years later, this man would be exposed for having affairs with multiple female students, and there was even one student who’d given birth to his son, raised in a villa out in the suburbs.
When this broke, it caused an uproar across the entire internet.
Who would’ve thought that a man who looked so proper on the surface would be this disgusting in private?
And the one who exposed all this wasn’t anyone else—it was his wife.
After his wife found out he had an illegitimate child, she broke down and lost control, spilling everything he’d ever done.
If you count the time, when the scandal came out, that illegitimate son was already five years old.
Bella let out a cold laugh. Faced with a man like this, she really couldn’t afford not to be on guard.
"Leo, if in the final performance William Wang doesn’t vote for me, how big are my chances of winning?"
Even though she hadn’t answered him directly, Leo Foster still heard the gravity in her words.
He couldn’t help but grow serious and solemn.
His voice dropped low, weighted: "Fifty-fifty, maybe... not even fifty-fifty."
What could be confirmed now was that if Bella Green performed well, Alaric James’s vote was a sure thing.
How the other mentor, Grace Carter, would choose was impossible to predict.
Grace Carter’s character and reputation were pretty good, but she had worked with Joanne Jordan before and praised her to the skies back then.
Even if she didn’t consciously want to show favoritism, it would be hard to avoid an unconscious bias toward Joanne’s side...
And William Wang was still a ticking time bomb.
Leo Foster’s expression instantly turned rather ugly.
No matter how fair and selfless a show looks on the surface, there will always be some unpredictable things going on in the dark.
"I don’t know if the media jury is going to be a problem."
Bella’s eyes darkened slightly, and she let out a soft sigh.
Joanne Jordan’s reach was long enough.
This was Brocade City, after all...
Bella withdrew her gaze and turned to walk toward backstage.
She’d already secured her advancement now, so she had to hurry to get the script, read it, and then get her makeup done and change outfits.
Very busy.
Leo Foster, however, wasn’t nearly that calm.
Bella choosing to come here was a very risky move in itself.
She had to win—win against Joanne Jordan.
But Leo Foster no longer dared to think that far.
He could only prepare for the worst; even if she lost, she couldn’t lose too miserably...
"Bella, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best. I’ll handle the rest."
This time, there were reporters from New Glory Entertainment in the media jury...
Bella nodded, looking as though she wasn’t worried at all, and walked into the dressing room.
Leo Foster thought for a moment, his expression darkening, then turned and strode off in another direction...
...
What shocked everyone was that the third person to advance wasn’t one of the other two veteran actors with strong skills.
It was that big-eyed pretty boy, Lucy Stone...
