Chapter 151: Blame

[Chapter 151: Transformation of Temperament]

"It looks like Cruise really broke out with this character," George Norse commented, his voice low enough for Nicole to hear. However, catching a glance at the indifferent girl next to him, he realized she wasn't interested in this topic, leading him to halt his analysis.

On the bus, Andy encountered a police checkpoint. Calmly, he sat down next to a girl in the front right seat.

The entrance of Brooke Shields was still dazzling, but under Eric's suggestion, thanks to the makeup artist's meticulous work, the actress's slightly thick eyebrows had been trimmed down, and her lips were devoid of any gloss. Her long hair fell smoothly, and her face wore only a hint of lightweight makeup.

This transformation greatly altered her demeanor. Many who had seen Brooke before would naturally associate her with terms like "goddess." However, in this moment, her character gave off a softer vibe, shedding that intimidating goddess aura for a more approachable and endearing presence.

...

In the front row of the theater, Brooke saw herself on screen, her nerves suddenly rising. She was still somewhat concerned about this change in her image. Sneaking a glance back, thanks to the screen's brightness, she could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the audience in the back rows. Many male viewers stared intently at the big screen, some wore expressions of infatuation, mouths slightly agape, clearly bewitched by her entrance. Upon seeing this, Brooke felt a sense of relief wash over her.

As long as the audience reacted positively, that was all that mattered. Regarding critics, after experiencing a few Razzie Awards, she harbored no illusions of being recognized for her acting. As long as she could gain popularity among the viewers, that was sufficient -- after all, Hollywood had numerous big stars who had high popularity but poor acting skills.
