The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2639

“Even I'm not immune to the reality of the business. My work is crafted for the public eye, not for solitary self-admiration. I need the masses to see it, to witness my talent, my draw. Without the audience's support, how can I expect to secure future projects? I realize you might not be fully receptive to what I'm saying right now, but just keep in mind that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. As for the rest, you'll have to mull it over on your own."

It was the first time Colton had opened up to Ivy like this, sharing his own concerns. He cared about staying in the limelight, and if it mattered to him, it was even more critical for the other actors.

Ivy nodded and said, "Don't worry, Colton. I'll give it some thought."

"You don't need to worry about me. I just hope you don't get stuck in a rut."

We've seen it happen before. There was an actor blessed with talent and charisma right from the start. Along with his skills came the spotlight, but he became arrogant, disregarding his fans and the audience. Now, he's faded into obscurity. It's a harsh truth to swallow, and though others tried to work with him, in the end, no one was willing to back him. As time passed, directors and scripts stopped coming his way.

Every director knows he owes his livelihoods to the audience. Without their favor, what actors would go to him?

Ivy fell silent, pondering deeply. Perhaps she did need a new perspective. She had advantages others could only dream of, and maybe she could leverage her current popularity to do something meaningful.

On the day of the fan meet-and-greet, Ivy's newly founded studio was buzzing with activity, especially Evadne. She took this fan event very seriously.

Initially, when Balfour assigned her to be Ivy’s agent, she was less than thrilled. Just another up-and-coming actress, she thought, hardly worth her time.

But after working with Ivy, Evadne began to feel like she'd hit the jackpot. Ivy was a promising talent, and under her guidance, she could become a superstar. Success hinges on the right timing, location, and people. Ivy had it all, lacking only the right management.
