You are my super star

Socal Media Spotlight (1)

Tripp maintained a stern face around Leon the following day.

The Movie King, however, had quite an easy-going attitude and ignored Tripp's bad mood. His conversations with Tripp were the same as usual, and he seemed completely unaffected.

"There's only one shoot tonight. Work hard and we'll be done early. "

The next day, Leon and Tripp were discussing the script, when the latter looked at his watch, which read 2 o'clock in the afternoon. "The schedule won't be very busy in the next few days, so you will have more spare time.'' Tripp reminded Leon. ''But, remember: stay in your room. If you have to go out, watch out for the paparazzi."

Tripp then turned to Vivian and Willet. "You guys should watch out for paparazzi. They know your faces and will tail you the moment you leave the hotel. Keep a low profile."

Leon chuckled. "What? Haven't they received the official letter to offer help with the shooting?"

Tripp froze at Leon's question and the assistant director forced a smile. "Actually, we haven't even applied for the official letter..."

Scumbags was a sensitive-themed movie, and they even did not held booting ceremony. The crew began to work after some simple prayer. Some well-informed media as well did not over- propagandize the movie, saving both of them from troubles.

Shooting trailers was also kept confidential. Information, such as the whereabouts of the two main actors was blocked out, as well as any news of the movie. Leon and Jules were both in the spotlight. Wherever they went, people flooded in. The upper management department had given maximum possible freedom for the crew to do shooting. However, if some members of the crew were too high profile, then the department would have no choice but to take precautions.

The whole crew got on with the shooting, devoting themselves to work. Albeit there was not much promotion, the efficiency was much higher than usual.

"Any suggestion?" Leon put away his cell phone, smiling at Tripp. "Angela has arranged an interview for me this afternoon. Should I ask them to find another place down-town?"

Tripp could take half year, even a whole year for making a film, but actors could not.

Usually Leon's studio's publicity program would promote the movie for the film company during while Leon was working by arranging interviews, doing endorsements and charity events, and all-in-all keeping Leon in the spotlight.

Leon had not appeared in public events for more than one month, which had reached Angela's limit. After finding out that Leon would have more free time in the following days, she arranged an interview for him immediately.

Tripp understood he could not hide Leon from the public until they finished the shooting. After hesitating for a moment, he gave in. "All right. You can do it here. Finding another place will just make it more complicated."

"Thanks." Leon got up. "At what time will we start tonight?"

Tripp was not quite sure about the time. "At around 8 o'clock. Get to the set early."

Tripp glanced at Jules. "If you have any interviews or visits, let me know beforehand. It will save us a lot of trouble."

Jules smiled back. "Don't worry. I was injured before I joined the crew. Most of them think I'm still recovering from that."

Willet gave Jules a strange look.

Tripp said nothing more and went about his own business.

Leon was curious. He turned to Jules. "Where's your injury?" He asked.

My idol cares about me!!

"Wrist." Holding back his excitement, Jules rubbed his left wrist. "It's just a fracture, and now it's completely healed."

Leon nodded, leaving together with his assistant. Meanwhile, Jules went back to his room with Willet.

They did not need to run around here and there for outdoor-shooting any more, and the crew had booked the best local hotel for them. The hotel was located in a beautiful place with fresh air. Jules lived in a well-equipped room. The only downside was that Leon should have lived next to Jules, but he paid for an upgrade with his own money and moved to a bigger suite that was one more room farther from Jules'.

Looking at the king-sized bed in the bedroom, Jules sighed sadly: I could have slept with Leon by sharing one wall.

"I will order take-out later. Stay with me, and we can have dinner together." Jules urged Willet to be careful. "Don't go downstairs. We don't know where they are going to have the interview. If we bump into them, we might cause trouble."

Willet was about to speak but stopped himself. After a few moments of thought, Willet finally opened his mouth. "Aren't you worried, Jules? You have been away from public eye for a very long time. Look at Leon; He occasionally makes public appearances, but you..."

It had been almost half a month since the last time Tony had contacted him.

The company remained indifferent with Jules, and the agent was busy with promoting newbies.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten about him.
