In the not-too-long video, scenes featuring Anna Rivers and Ella Jackson as opponents were all edited together.
The more Evelyn Sherman watched, the tighter her eyebrows knitted.
"Isn't it obvious?" Jack Shaw pulled over a chair, sat next to her, and spoke softly, "When Ella isn't in the scene, Anna's performance is still passable. But as soon as Ella appears, Anna, as the female lead, is immediately overshadowed."
"It's not that Anna isn't acting well enough; it's that Ella is too good. She's a natural-born actor." Evelyn shifted her gaze from the computer to Jack.
Jack nodded in agreement, "But the problem is already apparent. If this continues, once the TV drama is officially aired, I'm afraid the response later on won't be great."
A female lead who is always outshined by the second female lead would be this drama's biggest flaw.
Audiences wouldn't buy it.
"..."
Evelyn remained silent, not speaking.
She had sensed it as soon as she watched the first clip.
