The next day, Phoebe arrived at her office, where Wendy knocked on the door and entered.
She handed a sheet to Phoebe and said, “Ms. Jenkins, there have been several script and variety show offers recently. I’ve compiled them for you to review”

The chart detailed which shows and scripts were available, who the directors were, and what roles they were offering, whether to her or Gwen
After Wendy joined her, Phoebe had been able to lighten her workload considerably.
Most of the resources that had come their way were offers for Phoebe herself.
As for Gwen, most of the scripts offered were focused on marriage–related roles, along with two variety shows that were relationship discussion ргостани.
Phoebe asked Wendy. “Do you think any of these are suitable for Gwen or mel
Wendy, known for her attention to detail and strong intuition, had proven herself capable.
Phoebe had an idea to cultivate Wendy into a top–tier agent who could eventually manage new talents in the studio. They had discussed this plan before
Wenly had already considered this question while organizing the offers.
She smiled and replied. “I don’t think any of these scripts or shows are right for Gwen. If she were to accept, it would not only diminish her recent resurgence in popularity but also risk typecasting her into narrow roles.”
Phoebe nodded. “That’s what I was thinking too. Decline the scripts and shows offered to Gwen I’m planning to push for her to get a lead role in a spy thriller.”
Wendy, aware of Phoebe’s intentions, was also interested in the business of talent management.
She made
sure to excel in her role as an assistant while constantly learning more about the industry. She had already gathered information on some upcoming projects.
Wendy asked, “You mean the one initially offered to that other starlet?”

Before traveling back in time, Phoebe had acted in this film. It hard great potential for winning awards. She liked the verige a lot and some a perform even better this time.

Wendy then asked. “What about the fantasy drama? The director mentioned that you could choose either
She added, “Whatever role you don’t take will go to Sienna.”
Phoebe umiled. “Well, they’re being quite straightforward”
The intent was clear. In addition to casting, they wanted to leverage the dynamics between the three of them to ge
It was a typical strategy, and being upfront about it didn’t bother her.
In fact, it showed a certain level of sincerity, offering Phoebe the first pick between the two main rodes and then going the remainin It also certainly dealt a blow to Sienna’s ego.
Phoebe decided. “I’ll take the second lead. But the script must remain as it is, with no weakening or altering of the second leat director if that’s acceptable. If so, Em on board”
Before traveling back in time, Sienna had risen to fame on a reality show before immediately signing onto this farravy drama.
Because of its high production quality, the renowned director, and Reece as the male lead, the show became a massive
Though Stenna’s acting had been mediocre, she had the support of Reece and Leon. The character she played was which contributed to her skyrocketing popularity.
Meanwhile, the actress playing the second lead didn’t get to share in the success. Instead, the was criticized online for bullyin
During the shoot, that second lead actress had been heavily suppressed by Sienna With Leon and Jenkina Entertainment backing brenna director forced several rewrites of the second lead’s storyline.
As a result, the second lead’s character lost much of its original strength and became nothing more than a tool to highlight the leadi

Though she had survived thanks to a twist of fate, she entered the demonic path. She returned seeking revenge, intending to use the same ritual to kill her husband.
Although the main characters were divinely protected and the second lead didn’t succeed, her presence left a lasting impact.
Phoebe loved how the character was complex and full of depth.
That was why she wanted to ensure the second lead’s original storyline remained intact. A strong performance could overshadow the female lead and become a contrast to the purity of Sienna’s character.
If someone else had been cast as the female lead. Phoebe wouldn’t have felt the need to steal the spotlight.
But since Sienna was in the role, Phoebe relished the opportunity to create a direct comparison.
After all, Sienna had made a career out of doing the same to others.
If Sienna wanted to use this drama to rise to stardom again, she would first need Phoebe’s approval.
This time, Phoebe was happy to let Sienna take whatever she discarded.
