Chapter: 488
Tyler cleared his throat and sat up straight, not daring to ask any further.
A while later, the staff of the variety show arrived.
Three people from the variety show’s production team came, including an assistant director. After exchanging greetings, they all
sat down to watch the edited variety show.
Overall, there didn’t seem to be a problem. However, Ariana felt a little strange.
Weren’t there just too many scenes where Tyler and Cole interacted?
Although Tyler and Cole went to the show to publicize their drama together, and it seemed only fitting that the production team
deliberately put the two actors in a team for the games, wasn’t this test of tacit understanding supposed to be assigned to the
main actor and actress?
Why on earth would the variety show production team let the hero and the villain play this part of the game?
In the video, Cole whispered to Tyler several times and gave a shy smile. Seeing him like this, people might think this guy was
possessed by ghosts.
Ariana was quite curious and asked Tyler in a low voice, “Since when do you get along so well with Cole? Did something happen
during the filming of this variety show?”
Cole was an arrogant and cocky person who insisted that everyone obey his instructions. It was impossible for this kind of
person to change so suddenly and become innocent and humble.
“Nothing happened. Cole and I still can’t stand each other.” After saying that, Tyler thought for a moment, looking wary. He then
added, “I have to say this guy is indeed a little weird lately. He’s intentionally gotten closer to me, especially whenever there’re
cameras.”
There was actually a tremendous difference in Cole’s attitude toward Tyler in front and out of the cameras.
Every time the cameras were rolling, Cole would smile at Tyler, acting like he was a good-natured person, and he would seldom
take his eyes off Tyler.
But as soon as the director stopped filming for a scene, Cole’s face would change dramatically. He would suddenly become
indifferent, treating Tyler with condescension and callousness.
Tyler couldn’t understand what Cole was up to. Maybe the weirdo was trying to pass himself off as someone friendly in the eyes
of the public.
The assistant director in the front seat overheard the conversation between Tyler and Ariana. He turned around and said with a
kind smile, “Usually when people from the same crew attend the variety show, they have to show that they are very close to each
other. The closer the actors seem to be with each other, the more likely it is that the public will pay to watch the drama. To some
extent, this may help increase the viewership of the drama. That’s why we decided to edit this episode of the variety show this
way, at the request of the production team of The Sky with
Romance.”
What the assistant director said made sense. But the thing was, Tyler wasn’t even the lead actor, so it wasn’t him the audience
had to come see. How did the male lead and supporting roles become the crucial part of the commercial strategy of the drama?
In the edited video, Selene who was the lead actress, was completely left out. It was as if there was a barrier between her and
the two men, Cole and Tyler.
Ariana was confused. She had even come to wonder if she was so out of touch that she couldn’t keep up with the new way of
editing variety shows.
“If there are no other questions, we’ll broadcast it tomorrow night,” the assistant director suddenly announced.
Although Ariana felt something was wrong, she still couldn’t figure out what exactly was wrong. So, she had no choice but to
agree.
After seeing off members of the variety show production team, Ariana arranged for Tyler to take the acting class.
