The Weiss family had a deep foundation in Emerald City. They were a famous family in Emerald City.
âQueenie Mackâs not the one you canât easily mess with,â Gloria said pointedly.
The assistant looked at Gloria in confusion. âValda Theller is just a regular comic artist. I didnât hear anything about her coming from a powerful background.â
Gloria flicked his assistantâs forehead. âWhy do you think I gave up the other big-budget movie to star in this comic-adapted drama?â
âItâs because the crown princeâs secretary came to the company and asked you to star inâ¦â The assistantâs voice suddenly stopped as they widened their eyes in surprise. âDoes this have something to do with Valda Theller?â
âWeâll find out whether or not she has something to do with this!â
Gloria said with a half-smile.
On the third day, Valda Theller continued working on her new comic in the studio because she did not have to go to the film set today.
Her phone rang suddenly. As soon as she pressed it to connect the line, the producerâs anxious voice came from the other end. âValda, come over to the film set.
Thereâs an emergency here.â
Valda Theller froze. âWhat is it?â
âA number of the cast members have gone on strike,â the producer said.
Valda Theller paused slightly. âI shouldnât be the one the producer looks for when this happens, unlessâ¦â A flicker of uneasiness came over her. She hesitated for a moment before asking, âIs it about me?â
âCome over first,â the producer said.
Valda Theller replied, âOkay.â She hurried to the film set after ending the call.
Once she reached the film set, she saw several actors not wearing their costumes. Some extras were nearby, mumbling, âWe donât care if your cast has gone on strike. Weâre paid by the day, and you canât renege todayâs pay!â
One of the production assistants grabbed Valda Theller as soon as they saw her and said, âValda, go to the meeting room. The director and the producer are all there!â
âWhat on earth happened?â Valda Theller asked the production assistant.
The production assistant said with a troubled look on their face, âQueenie Mack and several actors went on strike together, saying they donât want to work with you anymore because of your⦠misdeeds in university.â
Valda Theller immediately understood that it was probably what Queenie Mack meant by wait and see.
When she reached the door of the temporary meeting room, she heard a heated argument from inside.
âI disagree. You threatened us with online gossip. What do you mean by asking us to kick Valda out if we want you to continue starring in this film? Youâre not allowing the original comic artistâs name to be included in the credits too. How ridiculous. Try to find a film that does that.â
Valda Theller immediately recognized her best friend Camille Stricklandâs voice.
Then, Queenie Mackâs voice came. âItâs everyoneâs responsibility to boycott literature and art creators with bad character!â
âBad character? What proof do you have? Show us the proof. Itâs all just empty talk. I can say you have a bad character too!â Camille Strickland said defiantly.
âOkay. Why donât we post this online and have the netizens decide whether we should boycott a comic artist like that?â Queenie Mack said defiantly..
