A film and television shooting base in Akloit.
“Lady Elizabeth” wrapped up today, and the standalone side story of the young Elizabeth would also be completed today.
The director was worried about not being able to contact Kate. He was wondering whether to replace her or schedule another time. Unexpectedly, on the day before shooting started, Kate suddenly appeared.
Mr. Stout was so anxious. Seeing Kate was like seeing much-needed help. He personally approached her with excitement, saying, “Miss Zamora, you finally showed up! I’ve been desperately looking for you.”
It wasn’t just Mr. Stout, even Kate’s agent was going crazy.
If it weren’t for Master Glenn’s influence, the company’s executives would have terminated her contract long ago. The first rule for artists is “No unauthorized actions or disappearances without reason.”
She had spoken on Kate’s behalf, defending her with many convincing reasons, which convinced the higher-ups to give her another chance.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Stout. I’ve been sick recently, so I stayed home to rest and didn’t receive your calls.”
Mr. Stout suddenly realized and glanced at her. “Are you feeling better now? There’s a scene today where you fall into the water. If you can’t handle it, we can postpone it for a few days.”
Because they wanted realistic effects, scenes like falling into water and horseback riding required the actors to actually perform.
It was doable in the summer, at most just a bit tiring.
But in winter, the water was bone-chillingly cold. Besides enduring the biting cold and jumping into the water, she also had to fulfill the tasks given by the script. It was undoubtedly a huge challenge.
Famous celebrities would rather find a stunt double to complete such difficult scenes, but Kate was different.
She was just a D-list actress and never used a stunt double.
“Don’t worry, director. I can do it.”
Mr. Stout smiled with satisfaction and decisively said, “Alright, go and change your clothes and do your makeup. The male actor is ready, and we’re waiting for you.”
With a pale face, Kate walked towards the dressing room. When she reached the entrance, Reece blocked her way, frowning.
“You’re sure you’re okay? Your complexion doesn’t look good. Maybe you should rest a bit longer.”
That’s right, he was the male actor who would be acting with her today. Although Reece was nearly 27 years old, his delicate and handsome appearance, along with his devilish and sunny charm, made him fit the role of a young man without any sense of incongruity.
Kate turned around and gave him a faint smile, nodding lightly. “I’m fine, I can do it.”
“Heh, it’s just a scene of falling into the water, yet it seems like only she has to suffer. As actors, you have to be prepared to wear silk dresses in winter and cotton jackets in summer.”
Cynthia couldn’t bear to see everyone in the crew caring so much about Kate, that bitch. She couldn’t help but mock.
However, before she finished speaking, someone strongly contradicted her.
A clear and resonant voice came from the other end of the set. The person approaching wore a dark blue three-piece suit, stood tall and elegant, with a blue sapphire earring adorning his ears. Against his breathtakingly handsome appearance, he seemed to have walked out of a comic book, like a male god.
Despite his handsome appearance, he was sharp-tongued.
“I really don’t understand where you get the audacity to say such things, posing as a senior. Calling you a senior is only because you are older than us, not because you truly act like one in terms of acting skills and character.”
“If I remember correctly, even for scenes with just a shoulder exposure, you had a stunt double hired. And last time, during the horse riding scenes, you jumped on the horse and demanded a stunt double right away.”
“When it comes to professionalism, I suggest you keep quiet!”
This scene was captured by the surrounding extras and quickly spread online during the night.
It was well-known that Cynthia had a bad reputation for being arrogant and difficult to work with, but she always portrayed herself as a dedicated actress in the media.
On the other hand, Jerome, known for his blunt and quick-witted personality, had gained popularity with his fans, especially when he confronted those pretentious female celebrities. Anyone who crossed his path became his target.
Cynthia was a top female star in the entertainment industry, while Jerome was a rising star known for his popularity and charm.
The collision between these two undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.
Jerome’s reputation for being “emotionally challenged” was once again confirmed, while Cynthia fell from her high pedestal, tarnishing her reputation and losing a significant amount of fans.
Cynthia had recently been approached by an international brand to be their spokesperson, but unfortunately, due to her current controversy, they decided to hire another female star instead.
That star was Juliana, the daughter of the Chambers family. She had gained immense popularity lately, winning a prestigious award overseas and receiving praise from foreigners.
However, Kate had no interest in others’ opinions. After completing filming for “Lady Elizabeth,” she immediately immersed herself in her next project.
Being protected by these two male heartthrobs made Kate the object of envy across the internet. What made her so special?
The story was set in the 1920s, with the female lead being a member of a prominent family. She overcame numerous obstacles and went abroad to study, where she met the male lead, who was also a student.
Because their encounter overseas had been captured on camera, Kate had to leave the country for several months. She didn’t inform anyone, simply packed a couple of outfits into her suitcase and got into the car arranged by her manager.
The pay for this drama was relatively low, as it was a low-budget web series that not many famous actresses would take on.
However, Kate didn’t care. She saw this as an opportunity to take a break from Akloit, thinking that she needed some time to calm down.
A change of scenery for a change of mood.
As soon as she got on the car, her agent looked at her worriedly and murmured softly, “Kate, aren’t you going to call Master Glenn? What if he comes back and can’t find you…”
Before the sentence was finished, Kate interrupted with a bitter smile, “No need. He probably… doesn’t want to see me again.”
Seeing that her mood wasn’t good, the agent didn’t dare say much more, sighing in silence.
The car returned to tranquility, and Kate, who hadn’t had a good rest the previous night, felt extremely exhausted. She leaned against the car window and dozed off.
But just as she closed her eyes for less than ten minutes, the smoothly moving vehicle suddenly came to a halt, and the sound of the tires scraping against the ground pierced the air.
Due to inertia, Kate, who was sitting in the car, couldn’t avoid it and her body leaned forward, with her head hitting the window.
She woke up.
“What’s going on?”
The agent scolded the driver.
The driver looked somewhat panicked and quickly unbuckled his seatbelt to check, “It seems… we hit someone.”
They hit someone?
