Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 265: Because I’m Awesome

The male and female leads are both top actors, and Delia Darden just plays a well-written supporting female role.

She has a moderate amount of screen time.

The series is airing tonight, and the hype online has been building for a long time. Just by looking at the buzz, even if the show doesn’t explode, it’s at least a sign of a minor hit.

The cast is strong, the investment is considerable, no wonder Delia Darden is so confident.

When Thea Shaw was checking, Landon Ford caught a glimpse of the drama’s trailer. From his point of view, the trailer Thea was looking at was mostly filled with scenes of the male lead.

Landon Ford lowered his eyebrows and smiled with a hint of coldness: "Do you like him?"

"What are you talking about?"

Thea Shaw raised her head, glanced at him, then pointed at the drama: "Cherish the chance; this drama airs tonight. At most, it’ll be gone in half a month."

Hearing this, Landon Ford got curious too: "Really?"

"That’s how I see it."

Thea Shaw pointed to the director’s profile and said, "He’s going to get into trouble, which will drag down this show. I don’t know the specifics yet, but looking at his bad luck, it’s a sign that he’s going to jail."

Landon Ford glanced at the director, his eyes gradually filled with contemplation, and suddenly said: "I’ve met him."

"Huh?" Thea Shaw was a bit surprised: "You have ties with people in the entertainment industry?"

"Not really."

Landon Ford slightly raised his chin: "I’ve watched a drama he directed."

Even a CEO has his entertainment; it’s normal to watch a drama for leisure once in a while, especially when this director made a serious drama. "The Ford Group has a talent agency in the entertainment industry. Back then, I was in charge. He was quite famous, and two years ago, at a banquet, he came to me with a business card asking Ford Group to invest in a script he had. I wasn’t interested and turned him down, which he wasn’t too happy about."

The banquet was crowded with stars, almost all were superstars from the entertainment industry, and Landon Ford was the one everyone wanted to curry favor with, but he ignored them all.

This director put in considerable effort and used plenty of connections just to get an investment opportunity with Landon Ford, but unfortunately, Landon Ford didn’t agree.

"Why did you refuse? I see the dramas he directed have a pretty good reputation."

Landon Ford sneered: "Didn’t you just say he’s about to get into trouble? The main reason I didn’t invest is that some things can be ignored, but some things that cross the line cannot. He’s into drugs. If Ford Group had invested in the drama he directed, other companies might have dodged the bullet, but Ford Group would get implicated."

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The Ford Group has a different background; many channels are lenient with the Ford Group, but there are also many checks, making control quite strict.

A director using drugs could be overlooked by another talent agency due to lack of knowledge, but not by Ford Group, which represents China.

Before investing, they do background checks on everyone involved.

Especially since back then, he was in charge with a stringent eye, it was natural to refuse.

"No wonder."

Thea Shaw nodded in realization: "It’s very likely he’s about to be arrested for drug use, but usually, drug use just affects the ongoing business of the show. For it to cause the drama to end abruptly, something bigger must be happening."

Landon Ford raised an eyebrow: "You can even predict the destiny of TV dramas?"

Thea Shaw didn’t even look up: "I’m awesome, right?"

Landon Ford: "..."
