Behind The Spotlight Chapter 256
The court case was obviously going to happen, and Shawn had to show up to defend himself with his lawyer. He had killed a family of four.
In fact, he was already detained, but through connections and paying bail, he got out while waiting for his trial. People with influence and money could bend the law.
With fierce determination from Salvador, the PR team at ANT worked as hard as they could to protect Shawn's reputation. Salvador ran the PR team ragged, almost to the point of sleepless nights. The PR team had to contact many publishers and news stations. Some publishers wanted bribes, which Shawn paid, just to write positive articles for Shawn.
They worked tirelessly to save his reputation. But did he even have a reputation worth saving?
Shawn was a known alcoholic, and his reputation was not particularly good in the industry. Directors and actors who worked with Shawn disliked him because he was arrogant and lacked professional ethics.
There were many times he would show up to filming sets drunk or high. If someone confronted him, he would lose his temper and cause a ruckus. His temper was as infamous as his fame.
As the new century arrived, over-the-top action movies lost their magic. Audiences craved realism over explosions, and Shawn couldn't adapt well. He clung stubbornly to an image that no longer sold. He was an action star from the '80s who had starred in many famous action movies, but he had rarely secured box office hits in the past few years. Many believed he was washed up, a relic of an old era.
But it was different for Salvador, he worked his ass off just to make sure Shawn would reach the peak. He had poured his youth, loyalty, and ambition into one man, and they had accomplished greatness together...
