Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 449

When Casey posted the bag on the luxury second-hand platform and sent the picture to Brett, he stopped sending flowers and gifts to Izabella, just like clockwork.

Izabella had been checking out her new house under renovation in R City, making some visits, and finalizing a few design options.

Time flew by, and the date for the movie production rolled around.

News broke out that Casey was joining the horror film "I'm A Ghost," which stirred up quite a buzz.

Ever since Casey professed his fondness for Izabella on Twitter, he lost quite a few fans, but most remained loyal supporters of his work.

These fans were attracted to his good looks, admired his talent, and were loyal to him because of his character.

But, hearing that he's joined a no-name production team for a horror flick that no one's ever heard of, some fans started to feel let down and started questioning, even before the film hit the screens. Some fans even blamed the company for Casey taking up this project.

At this point, fans started to waver in their trust for Casey and even started to feel disappointed in him.

[How come Casey chose a horror film? He's been in the business for years, and why on earth would he pick such a project? Doesn't he know about the domestic market's acceptance of horror movies?]

[I was excited to hear about Casey's new movie project, but I didn't expect it to be something like this. As a fan, I'm really disappointed. I hope he understands how we feel, and it's his career at stake here. He shouldn't ruin it.]

[Holy cow, I just looked up the film production team, and it was Celestial Entertainment Enterprises, who switched lanes to film from something else. Their last three comedy movies have been going downhill, with extremely low ratings! Casey, what were you thinking? Don't you look at the track record of the production team and the director when choosing a movie project?]

[The biggest joke of the year was a comedy director making a horror movie.]

[The scriptwriter is a nobody. Who the hell is Bell? I can't find any information about that person online.]

[I thought Casey would take up the big-budget period drama Lost in Lumina with a 30-million-dollar investment. This horror movie sounds tacky and has only raised 8 million. Was that even enough to cover Casey's fees?]

[With this kind of production team and this kind of movie, they should just fade away. Why are they ruining the movie market? Has the bar been lowered so much that anyone can just waltz in? Don't they know their own capabilities?]

[I was hoping to see if the box office could break a record next year, but it seemed like I was just dreaming.]

[I'll watch any movie Casey is in, but I really don't like horror movies.]

[What's up with Casey's company? Do they let him take any movie? Lost in Lumina started filming a while ago, and it should be released next summer. This horror movie might also be released at the same time. If the two movies clash, I'm betting on Lost in Lumina. It clearly has a high production value.]

[I've been thinking about one thing, Mr. Dempsey always values movie quality and respects his audience and fans, so why did he quietly take up such a crappy movie this time? I felt like there's more to this than met the eye.]

Soon after, news leaked that Izabella would be the female lead in "I'm A Ghost," and it quickly became the talk of the town.

Fans were livid when they saw the news, but Casey remained silent, and his studio didn't take any action. They could only vent their anger under Izabella's Twitter posts.

[Movies produced by Casey have always been top-notch, but it looked like Izabella might break the streak this time.]

[I used to have a soft spot for Izabella, especially since Casey likes her, but I never thought she could potentially ruin Casey's career.]

[I was wondering why Casey would take such a lousy movie. Turns out it was this woman pulling strings behind the scenes.]

[If you want to be in a horror film, go ahead, why drag Casey into that?]

[The film industry is going down the drain because of Izabella! I hate her!]

[I looked up the investors for this movie, and it turns out it's the Maple Group. Who's under this company? After Kristin got fired, their artists have been getting worse. Izabella left X Entertainment before and she can't possibly be under the Maple Group. Could it be that the CEO of the Maple Group wants to sign her and is giving her perks? And even got Casey to be the male lead?]

[How absurd. Casey doesn't need anyone to ask him, knowing that Izabella will be the female lead, he would volunteer to act without needing any payment.]

[Fans of Casey, your idol wanted to act in it himself. What did Izabella do wrong?]

[I wasn't interested in this movie at first, but now that I see the casting, I really want to watch it. Casey might have been blinded by love for a moment, but I feel like Izabella is not someone without taste, and her acting skills are really good.]

[Am I the only one who remembers what Casey said in his last interview? He said he's found a partner who he thinks is the best actor, and he'll be on screen with her in the future. He was talking about Izabella right? I have enough evidence to suspect that it's not Izabella dragging Casey into this movie but Casey who dragged her into it. It was all planned months ago. Casey really pulled out all the stops to win her over.]

[Although the production team is unreliable, the acting skills of the male and female leads are top-notch. It's definitely the best combination.]

[Izabella's career is skyrocketing, her popularity is off the charts, and she's making a huge impression. It's not even clear who's boosting who anymore. Remember who declared their love for Izabella on Twitter? You all keep nitpicking at Izabella, but we're not exactly thrilled with your idols either - old folks chasing after the young! The more you kick up a fuss and criticize if Casey can't handle the pressure and quits showbiz, Izabella will still shine on her own.]

Everyone's speculating on social media whether Izabella and Casey were already an item when they were filming together.

Other stars were just collaborators, not really knowing each other behind the scenes. But their idols were different, both trying hard to show a close relationship.

They thought they would avoid working together because of their fans, but right after filming "Blood Ties," Izabella immediately teamed up with Casey for a movie, playing a married couple no less.

Even though they were not lovers in real life, they were going to play a married couple in the movie. This gave fans plenty of material for memes or video edits.

Right now, Izabella and Casey only had one variety show together. From this show, they can edit out all sorts of details or mix Izabella's past TV series with Casey's films to create memes.

This kind of editing work was complex and can be tiring, but now that they were co-starring in the same movie as a married couple, there's no need for editing. They can just enjoy it directly.
