“Don’t worry! She didn’t drink this time, she just doesn’t seem to be in a good mood, I’ve arranged for someone to send her back to the hotel to rest.”
“Great, it’s good that it’s okay.” Olive instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Well, let’s not talk about her, I was going to call you because I have something to ask, we should have a second test sometime.”
Shane’s words reminded Olive that she had been so caught up in the past few days that she had forgotten about the monthly test she and Shane had agreed to do, and it had indeed been some time since the last test.
But in her heart she was actually very resistant to meet Shane, especially after the recent incident with Maisie and Alieen, she had always suspected that Shane was the mysterious golden master, but subconsciously she didn’t want it to be so, which made her heart very confused and unprepared to face Shane.
“I have a very important scene tomorrow.”
Olive’s mind was a mess and she didn’t know how to respond to Shane, so she could only say whatever came to mind.
“Well, I don’t think I have … tomorrow.”
Shane continued to ask: “So are you available next week?”
“I’m filming next week too, so I don’t think I’ll have time either.”
The two obvious refusals had left Olive at a loss as to how to explain, and it was impossible to pretend that nothing was wrong, so she could only try to convince Shane.
Shane on the other side of the phone was no fool. Olive had so obviously expressed her thoughts, not because she couldn’t get away from filming, but because she simply didn’t want to meet him.
Olive was afraid that Shane would continue to ask why he didn’t meet with him, his heart was hanging in his throat, but unexpectedly, Shane didn’t continue.
“It’s okay, you’ve been busy shooting recently, so I won’t bother you.”
Shane didn’t get angry or discontented as expected, instead, he accepted it gladly, which made Olive not react for a while.
After a few seconds of reflection, Olive felt sorry for him, although she had escaped Shane’s temptation and should have been happy in her heart, but now there was a hint of bitterness and an indefinable feeling mixed in it.
The two people each had their own thoughts, and hung up without saying a few words.
The recent filming pressure is not small, Shane’s attitude is also uncertain, so tonight Olive in bed for a long time can not sleep, has been tossing and turning in bed, thinking nonsense.
The next morning’s shoot was topped with dark circles under the eyes, cosmetics do not know how many layers covered up.
Olive took advantage of this gap in the look at the basic content again, the results of the heart thump.
This morning’s scenes are with Nell, that scene must have been very awkward.
The two people met yesterday’s scene is very helpless, today’s shooting must continue to meet, hiding is not to avoid, can only continue to move forward, shooting must continue.
Olive dawdled to change clothes and move to the outside scenes, hoping to delay for a while is a while, but did not expect to wait for a long time.
The crew on set set up the machine, all in place and ready to start, but Nell was late, so we had to wait together.
She was half an hour late, but Mr. Laas was patient and did not lose his temper, waiting for her since early morning.
After a while, Nell came to the venue slowly, with a calm face and no anxious look, and no feeling of guilt because she was late.
Mr. Laas saw this state of the actress, really can not stand.
“Nell, do you still shoot the scene?”
The director with a black face really didn’t expect that no one in this crew would be a relief.
“What the hell are you doing, everyone is waiting for you early in the morning and you are forty minutes late!”
Faced with Mr. Laas’ criticism and outburst, Nell’s emotions didn’t fluctuate too much and his tone was flat.
“Oh, I was just accidentally delayed.”
The tone of not caring seems very insincere, it is this kind of indifferent feeling, let everyone think Nell very will not behave.
Mr. Laas was so angry that he had nothing to say.
“Aren’t they all waiting for me? Then let’s hurry up and start, everyone get ready oh!”
Mr. Laas looked at the dangling Si Nian, angry, the walkie-talkie in his hand directly thrown to the bottom of Nell’s feet, thanks to the assistant director’s quick eyes and hands pressed Mr. Laas to throw the script, otherwise such a thick line book thrown on the girl, do not know how much trouble.
The power and character behind Nell, even the top directors in the entertainment industry have to give in to three points, so Mr. Laas must do it, otherwise it will offend the investors, the play is finished.
Mr. Laas had no place to spill his anger, so he shouted at the staff.
“Ready, Nell first, start!”
Olive according to the route to arrange a few days ago to stand on their own position, Nell and her face to face, two people in the garden, talking about things.
Because it is filming two people talking state, so the upper body and expression of the interpretation is very important, need the machine close to shoot.
After starting to shoot Nell performance is a mess, there are movements and expressions are very stiff, not even unable to express the emotional characteristics of the character, and and Olive and there is no eye contact, always looking elsewhere.
“You think the district of your people, what qualification in front of me to tell me what to do? Still want to compare with me? Hurry up and say, why do you know these things!”
Olive heard these lines quickly adjusted her state, her brow furrowed, her expression face had a little bit of gloom, and lowered her posture to answer the question.
“I was able to learn about the emperor’s interests all because they were discussing together in the imperial garden and I happened to come across it before I learned the news.”
“You still have to be shameless, to lie, the emperor must …”
“Stop!”
Mr. Laas directly called a halt, Nell’s expression made him fire up, raw state is not at all in the shooting.
“Nell, do you know how to act or not! Are you here to recite a text to me? Acting tasks need to express emotions, not let you recite the text expressionless, I let you be an actor not let you play puppet show, you show me how Olive is acting!”
Once I heard this, Nell also did not like it.
“Why should I watch Olive act? How old is she?”
Nell let out a cold laugh, the corners of his mouth rose with a disdainful expression, a mocking look at Olive.
“Why should I study with a shameless vixen?”
Once the words were out, all the staff present were quiet, ravenous, not knowing how to face the situation.
Olive’s feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, her fingers tightly clasped around her small arms, her face stony and silent.
Nell’s current language and actions, and the day she faced Maisie’s state exactly the same, Olive is very familiar with this feeling, except that the protagonist from Maisie into their own.
