The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 40

“Dad, what are you talking about?” Aiden gave an embarrassed smile. “Hailey is my daughter. How could | ever

treat her as an outsider? | can’t dote on her enough. But this is company confidential information. Besides,

Hailey is just a kid. She doesn’t know much.”

Thomas snorted coldly and didn’t bother to pay attention to him. “Hailey, sweetheart, go on, don’t mind him

Hailey said, “Grandpa, how about this? I'll briefly read these projects to you, and you can decide what you think.”

Thomas nodded. “Alright.”

“The first project is a harem . Judging from the script, production team, and cast, it's pretty standard. This

type of show has already had a legendary one before, and that show's leads and production team were top-

notch. It'll be hard to surpass it.

“The second project is Moonblade Legends, a large-scale fantasy . As long as the male and female leads

have good acting skills and the special effects are on point, it's bound to be a hit. Dad is right. Everyone likes

this kind of show now!

Hearing this, Aiden’s expression eased a little. ‘Luckily, she doesn’t cause any trouble for me!

However, Hailey suddenly changed her tone. “But...”

“But what?” Thomas asked.

Hailey looked at the specific budget allocation and frowned slightly. “Dad, isn’t the budget for special effects too

low? Out of the 26 million dollar budget, 23 million dollars is spent on the leads, leaving only three million

dollars. How is that enough?

Thomas's eyes turned cold.

Aiden quickly explained, “Dad, letexplain. Our leads are the hottest top male star in the industry right now,

Piers Horton, and the most popular young actress in the past two years, Vita Andrus.

“Quite a few fans ship them, and their fan base totals over a hundred million. Think about it, with such popular

leads, their appearance fees are definitely high. But don’t worry.

“As long as they are the leads, this show will definitely make a profit. Everything else is secondary.”

“Dad, that’s not right,” Hailey said calmly. “A good show needs more than just good acting from the leads.

Costumes, props, script, special effects, and other aspects must all be up to par.

“They may have a lot of fans, but a show isn’t just for the fans. There are also regular viewers. No matter how

many fans they have, not everyone in the world is their fan. No one will accept a poorly made show that’s an

eyesore.”

“That makes sense,” Thomas said seriously. “If you insist on doing this show, | can’t stop you. But if you're going

to do it, do it right. And the leads must have acting skills. Even if they're newcomers, as long as their acting is

passable.”

This really put Aiden in a difficult situation.

Both Piers and Vita were idol types. Their singing and dancing were just so-so, let alone acting. They were just

popular idols hyped up by the capital.

“Dad, you don’t understand. Where can we find someone with both acting skills and popularity now? Those with

acting skills aren’t popular, and the popular ones don’t have acting skills. We can’t risk using newcomers.

“That would definitely be a huge loss. Besides, the traffic of these two leads is amazing. Not to mention making a

profit, our show definitely won't flop!” Aiden said confidently.

Chapter 40

However, in Hailey’s opinion, Aiden was completely treating the audience and fans as fools.

By the tthis show cout, probably only the brainless fans would be able to stand watching it.

“Dad, you've got to believe me. I'm your son. Don’t you trustanymore?” Aiden was getting a bit anxious and

looked at Hailey, saying. “Hailey, you tell him. He listens to you the most.”

“You wantto speak?” Hailey raised an eyebrow slightly.

Aiden immediately regretted it.

“Grandpa, | think this project is bound to fail,” Hailey said bluntly.

Aiden’s face changed instantly. “Dad, don’t listen to her. She is just a silly young girl who doesn’t know these

things...”

“I think Hailey makes sense.” Thomas stood up and made his decision directly. “This really isn’t suitable

for a big investment. Hailey, what do you think about other projects?”

While Aiden was talking, Hailey had already gone through all the scripts.

She said, “The Moon in My Heart would be perfect for the company’s key project in the first half of next year.

“I just read it, and not only does it talk about love, but also the war of resistance, friendship, and the greater

good of family and country. With a good team, it's definitely going to be a hit.”

“Huh! Definitely going to be a hit? That's easy for you to say,” Selena scoffed coldly. “I mean, Hailey, since

you're not an insider, could you please stop meddling? Everyone likes light-hearted or fantasy shows these days.

Who still watches those outdated war s?”

Hailey didn’t respond. She had said her piece, and now it was up to Thomas to decide.

“Hailey.” Thomas seemed to have an idea, looking at Hailey with a smile. “I remember you mentioned before

that you wanted to be a director, right?”

Thomas had indeed asked Hailey casually before what she wanted to study.

Being an author, besides writing books, what Hailey wanted most was to turn her books into movies. So, she said

she wanted to be a director in the future.

Unexpectedly, Thomas remembered.

“Yes, Grandpa,” Hailey replied nervously.

“How about this? You take charge of The Moon in My Heart, and Aiden handles Moonblade Legends,” Thomas

proposed.

“Dad, how could that work? Hailey’s a girl; she'll get married someday. It's not appropriate for her to get involved

in company affairs.” Aiden frowned in refusal.

“I'm saying it again.” Thomas was furious. “Hailey is my granddaughter. No matter how badly you treat her or
