In order to get to Darren’s side as soon as possible, Selina must seize every opportunity to make herself outstanding. She must become a good match for him!
Before going to bed, she thought for a long time before she sent a text message to Darren. Good night, dear.
She would make up for everything she owed him.
She put the phone next to her pillow, expecting that he would reply, even if it was just “okay”. But she didn’t receive a reply even until she fell asleep.
Gunfire was a suspense drama based on a real story. It was not the type that pleased the audience the most nowadays, but it was produced by Sunshine. Sunshine always produced good movies. In addition, they chose experienced actors this time and all the costs that were saved went towards the movie. This was definitely going to be a better movie than those where one-half or even two-thirds of the budget went towards actors.
Selina and Zoe met at the door of the crew.
“From now on, please take care of me.”
She smiled and stretched out her hand. It used to be Zoe who extended her hand, and this time, Selina was going to take on this role.
“Okay.”
Zoe would remember this handshake a long time later. No one would have expected a little girl to impulsively make such an influential decision.
When Selina entered the crew, the filming had already started. Everyone knew that she kicked out the original second female lead. As soon as she entered the dressing room, the atmosphere changed.
“This is much simpler than the problems you will face later.” Zoe reminded her and whispered.
With a smile, Selina nodded.
“Hello everyone, this is Selina. Please take care of her. Don’t leave after you are done filming your part for today. Selina is going to invite us out for a meal.” Zoe smiled walking in and introducing her to everyone.
“I feel bad for Kary. Everything was ready, yet she had to leave.”
“Hurry up and have your make-up on. Today we are going to take the final version of the photo!” Mr. Lane walked over and clapped his hands to remind everyone.
Zoe turned around. “Mr. Lane, hello, I am Selina’s agent Zoe. We just joined the crew today.”
Mr. Lane looked at Zoe for a moment, then at Selina. He paused for a while and smiled eagerly. “I know. You guys came quite early. Make-up – give the second female lead make-up. We will take the photo later. The agent will come with me to address some specific questions.”
“Okay, Selina, you put on make-up first.”
“Yeah.” With her bag, Selina strode to the place where her name was written and sat down. She first took out her phone and sent a text.
[I’m on the set. Wish me luck!]
Except for the male and female leads who had separate dressing rooms, all other main actors shared a large dressing room.
As soon as Mr. Lane and Zoe left, everyone couldn’t withhold their thoughts. Some looked at Selina secretly and some looked at her straight in the eye. There were gaze of contempt and curiosity. There were also others who waited for her to make a fool of herself. There were all kinds of looks directed at Selina.
“Selina, hello, I’m Jenny. We are best friends in the play.” A bob-headed girl approached with a sweet smile on her face.
Selina looked surprised. “Your image so suitable for this character in the play. I was wondering what Coco Lee would look like when I got the script yesterday.”
“Oh really, that’s good.” Jenny looked shy.
The two quickly started chatting.
Two make-up artists came to groom her. Looking at herself in the mirror, Selina’s mouth formed a slight smile. When she was filming for the first time, she asked Eric whenever there was something that she didn’t understand anything. Eric said that she was innocent and kind and warned her not to get too close with the others because they would harm her! The result was that she isolated herself and became known as arrogant and indifferent.
Now that she thought about it, Selina felt that she was very stupid back then. She had the resources and a rich family. These unknown actors would only want to become friends with her. How could they want to hurt her from the start
It was all Eric’s tactic to block everything around her in order to control her.
After Jenny took the initiative, the others couldn’t resist chattering as well. The social circle opened up to Selina.
After putting on makeup, Selina followed the group to the studio.
“Selina”
There was a low and gentle voice behind her, and she twisted her head.
It was a young and handsome man with a friendly smile. No matter how much someone was used to seeing handsome guys, they would still be surprised after seeing him.
The young man walked over and politely extended his hand. “Hello, I am Evan, the actor of Fred Lim in this movie. We’ll be interacting with each other in the movie.”
“Hello there.”
Evan, she finally found this tragic man. He was Darren’s half-brother and could only commit suicide in the end because of cyber violence.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Evan was startled and hurriedly took out a tissue. “What’s wrong”
“It’s okay. It’s just that my eyes are a little sore.” She reached out and touched her eyes. Remembering that she had just put on makeup, she retracted her hand.
“Give yourself some eye drops, in your case—” Evan touched his pocket and muttered. “Perhaps I left it in the hospital”
“It’s okay, I’m fine.”
The director called out to them to take pictures, so Selina reminded him. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Evan observed her silently from behind.
The director wanted to capture each role’s essence in the make-up photos, as they were promotional photos the crew used afterward.
Originally the director was the most worried about Selina, but she turned out to be the quickest!
“Selina is really a born actress. You adapt the role that easily. You have a promising future.”
“Thank you, sir.”
She dare not be proud in front of an experienced artist.
She was ashamed to say that she watched this movie several times, and she also read a lot of pertinent comments. It was easier to understand what the characters in the movie felt.
This was her luck.
After taking the photo, Zoe invited the entire crew to dinner, but in the end only the supporting actors and a bunch of staff went.
At the end of the meal, Selina ran into Darren outside the washroom.
He was obviously frightened by her new hairstyle and stared at her without speaking for several seconds.
“Why aren’t you in the hospital What about your injuries”
She wanted to hug him in the past, but she didn’t have the right. She could only hide in the corner and watch him quietly.
“I’m fine.”
She choked. “That’s good.”
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she could not help but rushed forward. She took a deep breath and walked away from him with her head down.
She felt someone suddenly grab her arm. Darren gritted his teeth and squeezed out her name. “Selina!”
“I’m here.”
“I regret knowing you!”
He let go of her before turning around and striding away. Selina plopped and sat on the ground with tears streaming down her cheeks.
She bit his lip hard to stop crying.
He even said that he regretted knowing her
He could be angry, he could not spoil her, but how could he say something like this!
“Selina”
Zoe was drunk and walked out looking for her. At a glance, she saw the person sitting on the ground crying sadly and hurried over. “What are you doing You are in the public. You can’t be an actress anymore if a reporter caught you on camera like this.”
“He said he regretted knowing me… then why do I need to enter the entertainment industry… He doesn’t want me anymore, what should I do Woo!”
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching in the distance, Zoe hurriedly held Selina in her arms and covered her mouth with one hand.
“What’s the matter” Jenny walked over and asked with concern.
