[FINAL PROJECT] THE TRADE-OFF - English Literature - Group 3 - Shift 2

Welcome to The Spotlight on recent days. He is one of the most popular stars on social media for his beauty in this portrayal. Everyone, please welcome Dorian Ray. Nice to see you, everyone. Nice to meet you, Emma. Great to see you, Dorian. I'm so excited to have you here today. So, let's talk about your success. I know that there's no doubt that you are the big of your career, right? You have tons of collaboration with brands like Elvy or even Burberry. So, can you share a bit about your journey? Sure. I was in the industry for quite a long time. But it's just not my time to shine yet. That was until I met my general manager who was Henry. It's like he saw the potential in me and decided to instruct me in this competitive industry. So, yeah, I believe that it was my fate to meet him. That's wonderful. But I'm curious. Is there anyone besides Henry that by your side saw a lot of success? Beside Henry, there is one person I want to appreciate the most. And that is… That's right, Dorian. Give us more. Give us more. There we go. Perfect. Perfect. Okay, Jimmy, can you help me pick a tone, a color, and a screen to show it to me? Okay, next. Okay, give me another pose for it. There we go. Perfect. Okay, I think that's enough for today. I'm gonna go and check the photos. Young man, can I ask your name? Because I'm quite impressed with your appearance and your modeling skill. Oh, Dorian Gray. Nice to meet you. Ah, Dorian. Dorian. Well, don't worry. You won't believe this. These are the photos from the last photo shoot and they're just the perfect ones. Henry? What are you doing here? What do you mean? I'm looking for a future star. A potential star in the future that I'm just about to meet. Future star? Are you talking about Dorian? Yes. Oh, okay, okay. So, Dorian, Mr. Henry. Henry, Dorian. He is one of the most famous managers in the entertainment industry and he often seeks talents to help them in their career. Oh, my pleasure to meet you. So, Basil, what is the perfect one that you're bringing? These are the photos that I took for him. What is this? I've never seen anything remarkable like this. Oh, God. Am I this perfect? But, you know, the youth will fade by the time. So, the beauty that defines you will soon fade with it, as well as the admiration that you will receive. If only I could stay as beautiful as in that picture forever. Okay, gentlemen, you two watch where you're going. Too far. Calm down, please. Stop, stop, stop. You know, youth and beauty are the only things worth having. And you have both of these things. By this picture, I can make you famous in this industry. Shall we make it or not? Julie, do you remember Sybil Bae who we met at the last photoshoot? Oh, yes, sir. I remember that she's a beautiful model you work with and also a great singer. Won't you look amazing together? Amazing together? Sybil Bae, are you talking about the new rising singer this year? But she's a good singer, too. She's more than just a singer, Basil. Actually, we're dating. Seriously? That's surprising news. Congratulations. A young singer? I didn't think that you would go for a rookie. She must be special. Anyway, tomorrow she will perform at the Velvet Room, and I want you all to come. The Velvet Room? Fine, I will come. But, sorry, you know that women, they are practical, much more than we are. So, be careful, okay? That sounds painful, doesn't it? That was terrible, Sybil. Do you even realize how you look right now? People are laughing at you. I'm sorry, but I don't care what you do. I'm just thinking of you all the time. That is the problem. I love you because of your voice, not because of this. Is it, Dorian? No, no, you're telling me. You're just joking. I don't believe that. I'm not joking. You're the only thing I think is special. No, Dorian, don't leave me. No, Dorian, you're the first man I've ever loved. I love you, Dorian. You're the first man I've ever loved. What? Impossible. Did I alert you to come? No, sir, but there's a breaking news. So, is it related to me? No, but Miss Sybil just announced her hater. They said it's because of her mental problem. If not, then get out. What are you hiding behind? I said get out, you! You've seen the news, right? Keep calm, Dorian. The press cannot know what really happened. Don't say anything. Just keep it that way. But, but, it was my father. No, it's not. She just couldn't handle the noise. That's what fame does. You will learn that soon. Besides Henry, there is one person I want to appreciate the most. And that is me, myself, for not giving up at any moment. Being in the industry, you have to do more. Doing good job is not enough. I found you. I called you last night many times and you didn't even pick up. Oh, really? Probably had too many calls. Sorry, I didn't notice. By the way, since you're here, why don't you show me the photos you took last time? Too many calls, huh? Such an excuse. At least you remember our business. So, I watched your interview last night. And congratulations on becoming famous. Just like you wanted. Jordan, I have to be honest with you. You make me upset. Wait, no. Actually, you make me extremely upset. Why didn't you mention me in the interview at all? What? Come on. Calm down. Isn't it thanks to my outstanding belief? Outstanding? If it's not because of the photo that I have took, that I have taken for you, then you wouldn't be where you are right now, Jordan. You really don't care about anyone, do you? Even Sybil. She has loved you. How could you treat her like that? Honestly, I don't want to talk about it. What is done is done. The past is in the past. But she actually loved you. She even gave you all her heart. And so do I, Jordan. Well, I cannot return your feelings. I'm forced to be in this way to be in the industry. Well, but I've always wondered if it's you or if it's this industry that has made you become this heartless monstrosity. But if you cannot return my feelings, then at least let me see the masterpiece that I have taken for you. If you're that curious, fine. But once you've seen it, I don't want to see your face again. This... This isn't the photo that I have taken for you, Jordan. It's the face of a demon. Jordan, you have to turn back. You need to repent. I know there's still some goodness left in you. Goodness? I don't understand what you're saying. There's no turning back now. It's all because of this cursed photo. If it's because of this cursed photo, if it's actually because of this photo, then I shall break it. If you wanted to be this way, then so be it. Come in. Hi, sir. I'm Lee. I just work here. And my boss, Henry, told me that you will be my mentor. So I hope you'll guide me. Oh. You're an employee, huh? All right. I'll guide you. What are you doing? And I give you everything you want. Just need one thing. Stop it! You little brat! Wake up. Henry, what should we do now? Everything is spreading on social media. What do you mean by we? It's not our fault. It's your fault. And this is the end of your story. Hello, everyone. I'm Dorian Gray. And today, I just want to say sorry for all the scandals that have been spreading on social media. In fact, I didn't mean to do it or even hurt people for any reason. I really regret what I have done before. And I just want to apologize for letting all of you guys down, especially Basil, my partner. It's my fault for not being grateful for what you did for me. And... Yeah. That's all I want to share today. And I really hope you guys can accept my apology. Thank you, y'all. Is that you, Basil? It's me. I saw the news and the livestream, and I thought that I should make a call. Not really, but... But you don't forgive me yet, do you? I've been thinking about this. Mistakes are for people to learn from, and so everyone deserves a chance. But... After all those things I've done to you... It's okay, Dorian. To me, interview is a wonder of wonders. Only shallow minds judge others by their curiosities. It means a lot to me. Thank you, Basil.
