Chapter 613

Charles and Emma Roberts spent the night at a hotel in London. The next day, when Charles took Emma Roberts home, she had a rosy face and looked very pleasant.

Emma Roberts' villa, which Charles had previously gifted her, was located in the small seaside town of Venice near the Marianne Bay Wharf.

"It's still more comfortable being at home," Emma Roberts said as she changed into a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, showing off her good figure.

"Gossip Girl Season 4 premieres tomorrow night. I wonder if the ratings will bounce back," said Emma Roberts, who participated in Gossip Girl Season 4. This fashionable teen idol drama suited her well.

"As long as Channel CW renews it, Gossip Girl will continue filming," Charles said while gently brushing his hand over the girl's lips.

"Next year, the SyFy cable channel will air the series American Horror Story. You seem to have joined it, right?" he asked.

Emma Roberts nodded. "I think I'll be joining the crew in a bit. I just finished filming a campus romantic comedy called The Art of Getting By earlier this year. The crime drama Twelve, which I shot last year, was released last month, but it didn't do too well.

Next week, Universal will be releasing a crime thriller, 4.3.2.1, that I starred in. Next month, Focus Features will be releasing another romantic comedy I'm in, It's Kind of a Funny Story.

And this year, there was Valentine's Day and What's Wrong With Virginia, I participated in both!" she added, sitting on Charles's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Charles, with all these projects, I feel like they haven't had much impact."

What could Charles say? Universal and Focus Features were indeed distributing many low-budget films this year, which he didn't care about.

Next year, Universal had fewer projects, and the two Capet Universal films Emma Roberts was about to star in cost less than $10 million, which weren't even on Charles's radar.

"Teen idol dramas don't have a big audience base," said Charles, caressing the girl's thigh.

Emma Roberts, who wasn't even 160 cm tall, lacked a particularly impressive figure. She looked nice but certainly wasn't sexy. Her face was pretty, typical of a teen drama star, but her status as Julia Roberts' niece kept her well-resourced, even if her acting and body couldn't support her leading roles in commercial blockbusters.

"Sigh," Emma Roberts understood the situation. "Why don't you develop some more love stories or women's dramas like Juno? That movie was really good!"

Ellen Page skyrocketed to fame through Juno and even got an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Plus, Ellen Page was older than Emma Roberts but still had a baby face!

"Ellen Page, huh," Charles looked at Emma Roberts in his arms and smiled. "In that drama Hard Candy, the role that made her known, do you think you could handle that character? And the pregnant girl in Juno wasn't a simple role either!"

Emma Roberts was stunned, then patted Charles on the shoulder, laughing. "You're saying my acting isn't good enough. But Gossip Girl's attention is high, and after joining, there are more reports about me. I want to transition roles. I've recently taken a part in Dimension Films' Scream 4. Next year, besides the horror series American Horror Story, I'll also be part of this classic horror series!"

Charles touched his chin. "Bob Weinstein is producing it, which is good. Anyway, Harvey Weinstein is like a rat in the street now, and Weinstein Company has stopped production. Only Dimension Films is still hanging on in the B-movie market!"

Emma Roberts, being an American teen idol star, had some fanbase.

"You definitely need some commercial projects. Horror films have a better chance of good box office returns than teen romance films," Charles said with a smile.

"Capet's Piranha 3D was quite successful, wasn't it?"

The two main elements of a B-movie: horror and sensuality...

Emma Roberts's face fell as she looked at her figure, remembering the eye-catching Alexandra Daddario in Piranha 3D and Megan Fox, the dream girl from the Transformers series. Even Gossip Girl's Blake Lively and Odette Yustman were sexier than her.

"However, your image might not be suitable for such sultry films. You've been a children's and teen idol for years," Charles reminded her.

Emma Roberts shook her head. "I turned 18 last year and started to transition. Some ordinary intimate scenes would definitely be fine. I don't oppose them, as long as it isn't too explicit!"

No matter what, Emma Roberts couldn't change her image too drastically; it was her foundation. And her aunt wouldn't permit her to take on explicit films either.

"How about this? The bestselling novel The Hunger Games is being adapted into a script. Blake Lively will play the lead. Do you want to play a supporting role in it?" Charles suggested, hugging her shoulders. "Plus, I'm very confident about this novel's adaptation. It'll be the next successful commercial adaptation like Twilight!"

"Haha, so confident?" Emma Roberts needed a commercially successful project. "So I have to support Blake again?"

"Blake Lively is popular now and can attract audiences," Charles laughed, slipping his hand under her T-shirt and caressing her soft skin.

Emma Roberts leaned into Charles, making him more comfortable. "Dear, I think Blake's cup size is B+, isn't it more comfortable to touch than mine?"

"Hmm," Charles kissed the girl in his arms a few times, "You're great too!"

"Charles, should I get a breast augmentation? Just a little upgrade from B- to B+," Emma Roberts suddenly suggested.

"There's no need," Charles leaned to her ear and said, "I like you just the way you are!"

Emma Roberts's figure wouldn't look good with larger breasts. Scarlett Johansson wasn't tall either but had enough allure to be a bombshell.

Emma Roberts turned to kiss Charles, "What's your favorite part of me?"

Charles smiled, "Your lips, very sexy!"
