Chapter 2638
What Ivy worried about the most was the safety of her fans. Many were college students, new to the big city, and inevitably, some would have to spend the night.
After much thought, she resorted to a simple, albeit effective, solution.
She had Evadne arrange a fleet of coaches to pick up fans from the airport, the high-speed rail station, and the train station. After the event, they would check off names to ensure that every fan had made it back safely.
Ivy’s thoughtful move once again shot her to the top of the trending charts, with everyone praising the actress for her considerate approach to fan care.
Ivy seemed to become the hottest star in the entertainment industry. Whatever she did or said was instantly shared by everyone. But this kind of popularity was actually a source of stress for Ivy.
She was an actress, and her craft was what mattered most. She didn’t want all this extra attention on her personal affairs.
The day before the fan meet-and-greet officially started, she managed to squeeze in time to meet with Colton.
Their upcoming roadshow needed scheduling, and this meeting was likely to coordinate the actors’ availability.
“Look who’s the belle of the ball! Come, sit by me,” Colton joked familiarly as Ivy arrived, who responded with a mock pout, “Cut it out, Director. I’m seriously bogged down here
Colton raised an eyebrow. “What on earth could be troubling you? Other actors woul to be in your shoes. That’s a bit of a humblebrag if I’ve ever heard one.”
With the other actors yet to arrive, Ivy felt comfortable venting to the director. “I know it sounds like I’m bragging, but to be honest, Director, I just want to be a dedicated actress don’t want all this fuss. Every time they focus on something I’ve said or done, I feel immense pressure. It’s often over the smallest things! And just as they praise me now for the things I do, they could turn on me if I misspeak. I’ve had my fair share of controversies since starting in this industry, and I’d rather stay clear of the fray. I love acting, and that’s all I care about.”
Ivy’s eyes were filled with sincerity, just as she had expressed. There was no actress who had weathered more storms than her.
And consider this: she had only made one film, not even released yet, and had already garnered such attention.
From Colton’s perspective, if Ivy focused on her acting, her achievements would be immense, possibly even becoming the leading actress of her generation.
Colton valued talent and spoke earnestly, “I understand that you’re more concerned about your acting right now. You’re frustrated that people pay attention to you for reasons other than your work, wondering why they can’t just focus on your performances. But you have to recognize your own status. You’ve only done one film. Have you considered that only those actors who garner attention get offered more roles?
I know with your husband’s support, you won’t be lacking in opportunities, but an actor needs their own network. Besides, your current situation is the envy of many in the industry. Who doesn’t crave popularity in this business?”
