[The relationship between the two is quite unusual indeed.]
While Melody was reading those comments in her hotel room, Lucas was also looking at the absurd online news in his office. He knew that the entertainment industry was not easy to navigate, but he did not expect Melody to encounter such rumors right after she freshly delved into the world.
"Edmund, go and look into that makeup artist. Get rid of the false news online immediately."
"Melody?!"
Wendy, who had been holed up at home for half a month, came across the VeeTube post as well. It was only then she found out Melody had also entered the entertainment industry and even secured the female lead role in 'War Song'.
Wendy had been struggling to find job opportunities, let alone star in a leading role in a major film, ever since losing that advertising shoot.
"No wonder Melody is so arrogant now. She's been sleeping with the director!" said Wendy indignantly.
She casually forwarded the VeeTube post. Even though she was not a hugely popular star, she had some degree of fame.
Initially, the public was skeptical about the authenticity of the news. After all, there were many unsubstantiated rumors floating about the entertainment industry. However, after an insider like Wendy forwarded the VeeTube post, it indirectly confirmed the truth of the matter to social media users. Online discussions about the incident intensified.
Melody watched the development of the situation from her sofa. Feeling particularly anxious, she hurriedly went to explain to Shaun.
"Mister Shaun, I really haven't stolen anything, and now you're being dragged into this mess too!"
"Don't worry about it. I believe you," said Shaun with a helpless sigh. The situation had escalated to a point where Melody's words would not solve the problem.
Jelena, sitting beside him, looked at the messages on VeeTube and suggested, "Mister Shaun, how about changing the actress for the female lead? There will be other opportunities to work with Miss Melody in the future."
"No, it's not possible." Shaun quickly shot down the idea. "She's the most suitable. We can't replace her. If we change her, 'War Song' won't be 'War Song' anymore."
Jelena seemed somewhat defeated at Shaun's insistence. "But the backlash is going to affect 'War Song' as well. We've been preparing for this movie for several years. None of us wants this project to fail like this."
Melody felt discomforted at seeing them argue. She valued the job a lot but did not want her presence to ruin the efforts of so many people. "Mister Shaun, how about..."
"Alright, let's start filming first. We can deal with the news later," said Shaun.
He did not want to replace Melody, but the situation was indeed affecting the film, and they needed to find a solution as soon as possible.
Jelena, unable to change his mind, could only sigh.
