Chapter 962
“She had a good foundation. With her skills, even if she didn’t become a massive superstar, she should have at least been a decent working actress.
At the very least, she could have gone to an arts academy to further her studies.
With Naomi’s background, getting into a top school wouldn’t have been an issue.” Mira was still perplexed.
“That’s how it should work in theory, but she didn’t just fade into obscurity. She got hit with the ultimate taboo in the entertainment industry—her reputation was completely destroyed.
I heard that while she was filming on set, word broke out that she had a sugar daddy. Then, the guy’s wife found out and publicly beat her up right in front of the entire crew.
Worse, someone uploaded a video of her looking absolutely pathetic to the internet, drawing a massive wave of backlash.
After that, Naomi’s public image collapsed, and no director dared to cast her.
You know how the industry works. Directors have to answer to the box office; who would dare use an actress with a tainted moral record p>
Sienna explained.
“No one knows if she was framed or if she really was someone’s mistress. But the result is that her career was killed off at such a young age.
Now she’s completely disgraced, treated like a pariah p>
“The entertainment industry is terrifying. Thank god I didn’t get into it back then p>
Mira sighed.
If Mira had entered the industry two years ago, without any backing or the ability to protect herself, her toxic family alone would have found a way to destroy her.
The entertainment circle had always been notoriously cutthroat and shady. Lania Brooks, for instance, had been brutally forced out of the game.
Mira had been out of the loop for so long, and given her unmatched songwriting talent, she had almost forgotten how brutal the reality could be for others.
But that was someone else’s problem, out of Mira’s control. All she could do was ensure her own entertainment company operated with integrity and fostered healthy competition.
“That’s why we admire you so much. You managed to balance school while carving out such a massive path in the business world p>
Hannah said.
“Honestly, we came today to ask for a favor.
Given our history of competing on the same stage, do you think we could get into Solflare Entertainment p>
Solflare Entertainment had a surplus of projects, a clean reputation, and the highest salaries in the industry. Since its inception, it had been the holy grail for artists
But it was no longer in its startup phase; their recruitment was incredibly strict, and
anyone who didn’t meet the mark was instantly rejected.
“You’re only freshmen. Are you looking for a summer internship p>
Mira asked.
“Yes! Is it possible? We don’t care about the pay; we just want the opportunity to intern p>
Sienna pleaded.
“What’s your major right now p>
“We’re both studying acting, but we want to minor in vocal performance next semester p>
“Hold on, let me make a call and ask p>
They were from her hometown, after all. As long as it didn’t compromise the company’s standards, Mira was happy to help.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Kieran Holt on the spot. “Kieran, can the company arrange for some summer interns? They’re fresh from the Aethelgård School of the Arts, acting majors.
They have a really solid artistic foundation.
Do you remember that talent competition we went to back in the day? They placed third and fourth p>
“They can come in and shoot for the micro-series division. As for how big their roles will be, that’ll depend entirely on their own abilities p>
Kieran replied over the phone.
Hanging up, Mira nodded at the two girls. “You heard him. You can try your hand at acting in the micro-series p>
“Yes! Thank you, Mira, thank you! We’ll head over to report for duty today p>
The two of them left, absolutely thrilled.
Speaking of micro-series, Mira’s
campus arts club was also a viable option. The quality of the
Wesley Lane and his team were producing was quite impressive, How.
