Chapter 214
Tom's heart skipped a beat when he saw the person's eyes. He was wondering if he was recognized.
This director worked at ZQ and had seen Tom from afar before, so it was possible for him to recognize
Tom.
If he was recognized and Kili knew who he really was, he would be too scared to speak, right?
To be honest, Tom was quite shy. He and Kili were in the same boat at that time. They were both poor
and unpopular. At that time, Kili had been taking good care of him because he was a few years older
than him. In the end, he changed and became a super big boss, but Kili was still the poor wretch. When
Kili found out this, he would find it hard to accept this all of a sudden.
Most importantly, when they met yesterday, Tom didn't tell Kili his identity. But if he was recognized
now, what would Kili think?
Would he think he was lying to him deliberately?
All of a sudden, many thoughts flashed through Tom's mind.
Just as he was about to wink at the director to indicate that he did not want to reveal his identity, the
director's dropped the stunned expression. Obviously, he did not recognize Tom. He shook his head
slightly, mocked himself in his heart, and though he was overthinking it. How could this ordinary young
man in front of him be the superior chairman of ZQ?
Besides, this young man was Kili's friend.
Who didn't know Kili was a walk-on and had been working in many different sets, but was still obscure?
He was just a miserable middle-aged man. How could Kili know the chairman of ZQ and even bring him
to the set to apply for the job of a walk-on?
He had indeed seen the chairman of ZQ once before, but he was twenty meters away, so he could not
see the chairman's face clearly.
So he immediately came to the conclusion that the young man in front of him was just a young man
that looked like the chairman. He was definitely not the chairman of ZQ.
Tom saw the change of the director's expression, and he was secretly relieved, thinking it was good
that he was not recognized.
Anyway, he didn't have much to do for a while recently, so he decided to take a private visit as a way to
experience a different life.
He would use his position as the chairman of ZQ to pull strings for Kili and so that he would play the
lead.
He didn't have to tell Kili his real identity because he knew very well that once Kili knew his, they
wouldn't be friends. Kili would definitely be scared in front of him and would never dare to joke around
like before.
After giving Tom a brief look, the director nodded and said, "Okay, since you're the one introduced by
Kili, I'll give Kili face and you can be a walk-on here."
Kili was overjoyed and quickly winked at Tom, signaling him to say thanks.
Tom had no choice but to say perfunctorily, "Thank you, director."
"Hmm." The director was quite arrogant. He didn't want to talk to lowly people like Tom. Instead, he
said directly to Kili, "He's your man. Just tell him the rules on the set and tell him not to be serious at his
job, okay?"
"Yes, yes!" Kili nodded hurriedly, his face full of surprise and excitement, seeming to be happier than
Tom.
Next, Kili quickly told Tom the rules three times in a row, afraid that Tom would not be able to remember
them and make a mistake. "Remember, a walk-on must remember the rules. We must not make
mistakes. Otherwise, if our reputation gets bad, it will be difficult to get any job."
Tom was a little helpless and said, "I know, Kili. Don't worry. I will obey the rules."
It was also quite dramatic to think that he, the chairman of ZQ, had come here to be a walk-on for no
reason.
After waiting for a while, when everything was ready and the shooting had not started yet, Tom asked
curiously, "Didn't you say it would start at nine o'clock? It is ten o'clock now, but we are still waiting?"
Tom did not deliberately lower his voice, so his words reached the ears of many people around him.
They turned around and looked at him, looking a little unhappy. Kili was so scared that he quickly
grabbed Tom and shushed him. He said worriedly, "Lower your voice! I told you, you can't talk casually
on the set, especially about people! Otherwise, the director will be very angry if he hears you."
Tom also frowned slightly. He felt that there was something wrong here. Apart from some of the leading
actors, the other actors were submissive and very afraid of the director. Those walk-ons like Kili were
especially afraid.
This was different from what he knew. Everyone's nerves were so tense. Could they really make a
good movie?
"Kili, we're just here to work. There's no need to be so submissive." Tom said.
Kili said, "Tom, that's not true. Acting is different from other jobs. On the set, the director is the most
superior person. We all have to listen to the director's arrangement, even the leading actors, not to
mention us. Of course, unless you're an A-list star like Ashton. We have been waiting for so long just
because Ashton hasn't been here yet."
"Who is Ashton?" Tom asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, not only Tom, but also other walk-ons next to them widened their eyes and looked at Tom
in shock. One person said, "Damn it! Really? You don't know Ashton? He's a young handsome actor
and he is very popular! He's also the male lead of our movie!"
Tom understood. It turned out this Ashton was the male lead and a star with huge devoted fan bases.
He really didn't know him, because he wasn't interested in this kind of star at all. Besides, it was
impossible for him, a busy chairman, to take the initiative to pay attention to these stars. He didn't even
know all the stars in ZQ Inc.
"Oh, it's him." Tom nodded with a calm expression. However, when others saw this, they thought he
was pretending not to care. Could it be possible that anyone who was in the entertainment industry
would not know Ashton?
At this moment, a white Toyota Alpha arrived at the set. A handsome young man walked out. Kili
immediately pushed Tom and said in a low voice, "Well, that's Ashton, the male lead of our show." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"I see." Tom nodded faintly, looking very calm. His reaction made Kili speechless. He muttered in his
heart that after a year, Tom grew had changed. He was even not excited when he saw a big star.
