Chapter 1046: Consequence_1 487 Chapter 1046: Consequence_1 487 Chen Huan looked with surprise at Vivian Hayes who suddenly appeared.
“Ms.
Hayes, were you not inford?
Your rehearsal ti is at eleven.”
“I apologize.” Vivian Hayes’ smile was quite gentle, “I have to catch a flight at noon.
I can’t wait….”
As if she had suddenly seen Aubree Groove, she smiled and headed towards her.
“So, it turns out to be Ms.
Rinto.
...
That makes things easier.
I suppose Ms.
Rinto doesn’t have any announcents coming up, and it wouldn’t matter if she had to wait an extra hour.
Unlike , I have an advertisent shoot lined up.
It wouldn’t be right making the production team wait for , right Ms.
Rinto?”
The implication being that Aubree Groove, a novice, couldn’t compare to her, a popular superstar.
What difference would an extra hour matter?
Raquel Webb clenched her fists.
This was too abusive.
Aubree Groove smiled faintly, gazing directly into Vivian Hayes’ eyes.
Her eyes were too clear, it was as if she looked straight into Vivian Hayes’ heart, causing her to shudder slightly, feeling as if each hair on her body had been seen through by the other person.
“That’s your problem, it has nothing to do with .”
Her words were followed by a staff mber’s ‘OK’ hand gesture.
She looked down to adjust her dress, then stepped onto the stage with composure.
“You….” Vivian Hayes had never t soone so impudent, who embarrassed her publicly, and instantly, her lungs felt ready to explode with anger.
Director Bartholow scrunched his eyebrows, “What’s the matter there?”
Keeping abreast of every developnt, the assistant imdiately replied, “It’s Vivian Hayes, she wants to rehearse early.”
Rehearsal tis are usually set in advance, typically coordinated with the celebrity’s staff mbers, agreed upon at the most optimal ti.
However, generally, the celebrities are accommodative of the program team.
After all, this is the country’s largest stage, and even the biggest stars wouldn’t dare to act irresponsibly, causing the program team to wait for them.
A notable exception is Anton Cook who is an elite youthful singer.
His performance prowess commands respect everywhere.
In addition, he also happens to have a die-hard fan in Director Bartholow, who has been inviting him for the past few years.
This year, when Anton finally agreed, Bartholow accommodated his timings, even exceptionally condensing his rehearsal ti within three days.
The truth had not been disappointing as Anton Cook had perford up to expectations.
Upon hearing the na Vivian Hayes, Director Bartholow frowned even more.
The guests ca from three channels including regular perforrs who are frequent guests at the Spring Festival Gala, and have a stable audience base.
They cannot be easily replaced.
The second channel is the national talent scout, discovering talented perforrs nationally, giving them a chance at the Spring Festival Gala.
This also serves as a way to connect with the masses.
Finally, the third group consists of perforrs backed by financial sponsors and other vested interests, including high-profile actors and small-ti celebrities.
Put bluntly, they aren’t particularly skilled but carry quite an attitude.
Director Bartholow despised these sponsor-backed personalities, and Vivian Hayes was one of them.
As for Aubree Groove, the authorities had requested a positive energy program from the show organizers that year.
It was around that ti that Bartholow had seen her live, prompting the invitation.
When the perforr selection and program proposal were submitted, she thought Aubree’s unique background might cause complications.
Unexpectedly, everything went smoother than imagined.
Aubree strode onto the stage, standing in front of the microphone, her deanour relaxed and composed, showing no nerves.
Director Bartholow simultaneously signaled the music and lighting crew to follow her cues and asked an assistant, “Is this her first ti on the show?”
“I suppose so,” was the uncertain response from the assistant.
The young lady’s voice was ethereal and gentle, possessing the quality of a soul-cleansing mantra, washing away all filth and corruption, calming all restlessness and grandeur.
All was silent, as if touched by a fresh spring breeze.
Bartholow was taken aback.
This was not what the original script said.
The assistant said seriously, “She changed the script without permission.”
Bartholow signaled him to remain silent as she listened intently.
After the young lady’s lody ended, it was the turn for the presentation of flowers.
Three children filed up onto the stage.
The boy in the lead appeared to be seven or eight.
He was slender, with a thin face, sunken eyes, and a sickly pale complexion.
However, his eyes glead like two bright pearls.
With a bouquet of fresh flowers cradled in his arms, he was bathed in the spotlight.
He traversed the stage, moving towards the center with each step.
