You’re still graduating next July, so you’re young, you haven’t had much exposure to society yet, it’s normal to feel nervous! But relax, I’ve got your back!”“No, I can’t depend on you for everything! If I don’t have real skills, even if I become a celebrity, I’ll be a fraud! There are so many people lip-syncing, fake crying, and using stunt doubles nowadays. That’s not what I want! I want to be the most genuine version of myself!”Willy looked at Tessa, thinking to himself: Can someone with this mindset really make it in the entertainment industry?
