Chapter 139

Jeremy was thinking about how to politely refuse Austin, but the Latter took his silence to mean that he was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Austin waved his hand and said, “There is no need to thank me. I'll be happy to take over the position of chief director, but... I do have a few conditions."

Then, he mysteriously paused, allowing Patricia to speak on his behalf.

“First, since Mr. Gerry has been in the industry much longer than Mr. Jackson, his salary should be higher. The demand is double pay. Of course, Mr. Gerry doesn't really care about the money. But as a big shot in the film industry, he needs to take into consideration his reputation and image as well. Second, as a well-known domestic director, Mr. Gerry has his own professional team. He certainly doesn't need the staff that Mr. Jackson appointed. Therefore, we'll have to let go of some of the crew members, including the script supervisor, Maria Jenkins. And that brings us to our third point. Maria has taken over as acting chief director and is currently in charge of shooting. But she knows nothing about directing. What kind of scenes could she have shot? Therefore, it is Mr. Gerry's wish that when the Legend of Anne is broadcasted in the future, Maria's name won't appear in the credits."

Afraid that she hadn't made it clear enough, Patricia solemnly continued, word by word, "Yeez Entertainment must officially announce that Mr. Gerry is the only director of the Legend of Anne."

While listening to Patricia's long speech, Jeremy's expression changed several times.

There was a flicker of shock, incredulity, and even anger, before his face finally returned to a calm stillness.
