Chapter 388: A DAY OF CONGRATULATIONS

“WOW that’s great, Snow!”

“Congratulations!”

Kiran and Astrid said at the same time. A beautiful smile bloomed on Snow’s face. The cold winter completely turning into spring.

“Thank you,” Snow said. “It’s just a small role though.”

“Don’t say. There’s no small role in acting. As long as you do your part and leave a deep impression on the audience, then that’s more than enough,” Astrid said.

“That’s right,” Kiran seconded. “An opportunity, no matter how small, could turn into something big as long as you do your best to make it that way.”

Snow nodded, agreeing with the two. That’s why even though the role he had gotten was small, he was very excited about it. Just like the two said, the role might be small but if he showed a great performance, the audience would definitely appreciate it. Then, it could be another chance for him to get another role.

…..

“But what role is it? Is it for a TV series or for a movie?” Astrid asked.

“It’s for a web series actually that’s currently airing right now. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the series, it’s called [Noble Lawyer]. I will be playing the victim on the episode that will air about two weeks from now.”

[Noble Lawyer] was a web series that started right after [Blind Justice] popularity started to rise. It was produced by a streaming service that was in rivalry with the streaming service where the latter was being aired. They produced [Noble Lawyer] in the hopes that it could fight with [Blind Justice].

The intention was so obvious that many fans of [Blind Justice] made a fuss and the series drew flack before it even started. Especially since the synopsis of the show showed a great similarity to [Blind Justice].

It’s about a lawyer who represented people in court who were disadvantaged in life. He helped them get the justice that they deserved. It’s almost the same as the purpose of the main cast of [Blind Justice]. The only difference was, in [Noble Lawyer], the main character used the law instead of being a vigilante to attain justice.

So, one could imagine just how much negative reaction it received. But surprisingly enough, most of those negative reaction disappeared the moment the first episode aired. Because it showed just how different it was from [Blind Justice].

For one, the protagonist of [Noble Lawyer] was in fact a very rich noble who disguised himself as a commoner so he could work as a lawyer. He used his abundant riches and money to gather evidence and bring the criminals to justice. But it wasn’t just that. The lead actor was very good. His charm quickly won the hearts of the audience.

Just like [Blind Justice], it’s a weekly web series that had different case each episode. And for almost a year of airing, they had maintain a loyal audience and following.

This was the reason why Snow didn’t hesitate to audition when he saw the audition notice on the show’s official website. Because he knew that guesting in such a show could help in his career now that he was only starting.

“Oh, I’ve heard of it. It’s a pretty popular show, isn’t it?” Astrid said.

“I’ve also watched a couple of episodes of that show,” Kiran said. “The main character is a pretty funny.”

“Yes. It’s just a shame that we don’t have any scene together. It’s would definitely be fun to act with him,” Snow commented with a bit of regret.

The whole script of the episode was already sent to him. He had already memorized everything. Since the role of the victim in the episode was already dead at the start, he mostly appeared in flashbacks. So, he and the main character didn’t meet at all.

“Will someone accompany you to the filming site?” Astrid asked with a bit of worried tone. After all, Snow still didn’t have an entertainment company or agency to represent him.

“Don’t worry, I have that covered,” Snow answered.

Or rather, his father had that covered. The other would surely send an assistant that could also act as a bodyguard. After that kidnapping incident, his father became even more protective. As evidence of the bodyguards secretly following and guarding him whenever or wherever.

In fact, his father even wanted to set up an entertainment agency to handle his career. But Snow drew the line on that. Because it wouldn’t be any different from his father handing everything to him on a silver platter.

“I also have a good news,” Kiran said.

Both Astrid and Snow turned to him, asking what it was.

“I signed a contract with Polaris to produce and compose five songs for them,” Kiran said with a big grin.

“Congratulations!” both Astrid and Snow said at the same time.

“Is the contract satisfactory though?” Snow asked in concern. He’s not saying that Polaris would scam Kiran. He’s just worried that Kiran would have missed some elements in the contract that could prove disadvantageous for him in the long run.

“Oh yes,” Kiran said with no hesitation. “The commission fee is extremely good for someone like me who hadn’t made his name yet. Most importantly, I still get to keep the copyright for the song.”

“Don’t worry, Snow. I’m not saying this because I’m signed under them, but Polaris has a very fair management,” Astrid added as if he knew what Snow was worried about. “I can’t say this for everyone working there, but at least majority of them won’t take advantage of a newbie musician.”

Kiran, as if only realizing now that Snow was worried that he might be duped, quickly said, “Yes, Snow, don’t worry. All the people from Polaris I talked to has been very kind.”

Snow smiled helplessly. “Then, I’m glad.”

Astrid then poured tea for the three of them. “Since today seemed to be a day for congratulations, should we make a toast?” He lifted his tea cup. “To a successful future!”

The two also raised their cups and said at the same time, “To a successful future!”
