Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

The black man was quite tall and dressed in a very hip-hop style. He was chatting happily with Becky.

Dennis was the only one, dragging two huge suitcases and carrying a backpack on his back, following behind the three.

He got out of the car, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and scanned his surroundings, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

It seems that it will be difficult for him to extricate himself by relying on the film crew.

Because the people from the surrounding area who came to participate in the selection were truly hidden talents.

The vast majority of them were children around the same age as him and Tommy, all dressed very well, with fair and delicate skin, and they were all very pretty or handsome, clearly from well-off families.

Of course, this can be seen from the differences in the parents.

Most of the parents are very elegant and glamorous, and they have a great family atmosphere with their children, chatting and laughing together.

In any case, it's absolutely impossible for the same situation to happen as Dennis's family.

Then look at Tommy, the chubby little black boy with dark skin. Among these children, he looks like a black lump of coal that bounces around everywhere and has no manners.

And that goes without saying that most of the children have talents.

On the street, some children were standing still, singing songs in their loud voices.

Among them are many people with excellent and professional singing skills, and some may even be graduates of professional choirs.

Other children were practicing dance.

The basic skills honed from childhood are something that children of the same age can envy.

mingling among these people, Tommy was like a little reptile seeing a human.

Clearly, in fact, both Becky and Tommy quickly realized this.

They were in high spirits while in the car; the mother and son were even singing.

Who is the champion?

“I’m the champion!”

Who will be the next big star?

"I'm a future superstar!"

Then Becky and her 'black friend' talked about the wonderful life they would have after receiving their paychecks.

For example, buying a big house.

Throw a huge party, get the whole community involved, and let everyone see their success.

For example, they also want to travel around the world.

Etc., etc.

He described every aspect of a luxurious lifestyle.

It was as if they were already certain of victory, believing that Tommy's selection and payment were a foregone conclusion.

And most importantly, they weren't after that small amount of money for a supporting role, nor did they just hope that Tommy would get a minor supporting role.

Their goal is to secure the £100 million from the two lead actors who have been announced!
To this end, Becky even made a boastful claim to her 'friend,' saying that she had a mysterious connection and relationship with Xia Yuan, and that she had a relative who worked at Heye Group.

She has already secured a spot through connections, and the production team is very satisfied with Tommy, specifically requesting that he play the lead role.

Because of this, the "friend" expressed his deep affection for Becky more than once in the car. The two of them were always calling each other "darling" and "sweetheart" all the way.

This made the precocious Dennis almost vomit.

He knew perfectly well what was going on with his Aunt Becky. What nonsense about her being connected to the He Ye Group, what nonsense about being pre-selected?

That's all nonsense, all lies.

The reason she could so confidently put on such a grand show was simply because she had a blind overconfidence in her cousin Tom.

After all, she genuinely believed that her son had been selected for the school basketball team and that he had told her the lie that he was named the school's most handsome boy and an outstanding student. She never expressed any doubt about it, nor did she suspect that her son was just using it as an excuse to trick her into giving him pocket money.

And this time too, she was so confident that her son would be selected for the main cast that she made a bold claim.

She never considered that putting on such a show was actually very easy to be exposed, and if she was caught and Tommy didn't get selected, how would she explain it?

She had never thought about this kind of question before.

But even at this moment, no matter how confident they were, when they saw what kind of people their competitors were, their infatuated minds began to cool down a little.

Becky was also somewhat stunned as she looked around at the parents and children from those glamorous, normal families.

She had to admit that she was now a little unsure whether her precious Tommy could really beat these kids.
Until her dear Mr. Mufasa spoke up.

That big, dark-skinned guy said, "Hey, Becky, what's up? What are you worried about? Didn't you say you were already chosen? These people are just stepping stones for Tommy, yeah, Brother Ni will crush them under his feet!"

“Oh yes, Uncle Mufasa.” Tommy nodded quickly.

He was just a little kid.

Children of this age are often quite concerned about their image, so it's highly unlikely that they would admit they're not good enough in front of so many people.

Not to mention having a mother like Becky with a strong family tradition of learning.

That allowed him to fully express his true nature.

Dennis remained silent as he watched the family's interaction.

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

For him, this was an opportunity, and he was different from his cousin Tommy.

Perhaps for these people, they are only after money, fame, and fortune.

He's different; he's fighting for freedom.

He didn't care whether he was chosen to play any role or not; he had no hope of it.

Because he knew very well that he had no advantage or competitiveness compared to his outstanding peers.

It's one thing to have bad grades, but after all, he doesn't get much access to educational resources, and he's also one of those who are constantly bullied and harassed at school.

Not to mention that he doesn't have any special talents at all.

Since he can't get an acting role, he can try working part-time!

His goal was to be noticed and get a job on the film set.

He has an advantage that other people his age don't have: he is particularly good at enduring hardship.

He is very hardworking and resilient, thanks in large part to the strict discipline that Aunt Becky's family has put in him over the years.

He doesn't care about the pay; as long as there's no pay, there's no risk of child labor, and he can easily escape this family and leave this hell.

It would be even better if we could go to America from here.

He truly never wanted to stay with this family again, not even for a minute! (End of Chapter)
