Stuart quickly came over to check on Stella's injury and asked about her well-being.Stella sat up and smiled through her pale complexion. Then, she said with forced lightheartedness, "It's fine, Mr. Winfield. Yolanda didn't do it intentionally. She was just too caught up in the moment. It's my fault for dodging it too slow. I should've stood more steadily just now. Before this, we succeeded with one take. But now, I've troubled everyone because we need to retake the scene."Yolanda's face contorted after hearing Stella's words."You clearly fell down yourself. What's that got to do with me? Do I have iron fists? I can make you spit blood with just a slap?"When Stuart heard Yolanda's words, his expression turned sour, "Supposedly, the slap scene needs two actors to cooperate. How many years have you been an actor? Can't you even control your strength? And your expression just now. You're helping your friend retaliate, but look at your expression! If one didn't know the story, they
Shea began to face her boss. Although she had little experience, she was quick on her feet and liked to take action. She even had backup plans. It would be hard for others to take advantage of her. It seemed that there was nothing to be worried about when it came to Keegan's orders. On the contrary, they should be glad she was not bullying others on set.Stuart was so mad at Yolanda for leaving the scene midway that he skipped her act and began filming Stella and Leighton's scene.In the script, Georgia and Ralph were childhood sweethearts. Georgia always acted superior to others, but she was like a little girl when she was with Ralph. Though, Ralph and Lexi were also in an ambiguous relationship. It was mentioned that after Lexi passed out on stage, a man in a suit watched her indifferently from a distance.The script did not mention who the guy in the suit was, but Stella had an understanding that it was Ralph. Hence, the few emotional scenes between them were useful in promoting
"What are you doing?!" Georgia struggled while hitting the person who carried her. "Put me down!" she yelled.Ralph threw her on the bed and pressed himself against her. Just as he was about to kiss her, Georgia pushed him away. She pulled out the yellow hairpin and said, "Tell me. Where did you get this hairpin?!"Ralph chuckled, took the hair accessory, and put it in her hair. "The shop owner didn't have any change when I was buying cigarettes, so he gave me this hairpin instead." As he said that, he grabbed Georgia's chin, looked and her, and smiled. "It looks good on you."Georgia took the hairpin off and held it in her hands. She looked at it for a while and threw it aside while she pursed her lips. "It's ugly," she said.She then hooked her arms around Ralph's neck and said softly, "My visa is almost done. Wait for me when you get there. I'll fly over to you after six months.""Six months?" Ralph looked at her and said, "Isn't that a little too long?""It's one semester. I
Vermont was making things up. Whether Stuart believed him was unclear, but he stopped asking more questions after that.On the other hand, Leighton was very much still immersed in the movie scene. His ears could not help turning red when he saw Stella. "Did I accidentally throw you too hard just now?" he whispered.When Leighton tossed Stella onto the bed, her head hit the bed frame. He heard a soft bang because he was so close to her, but she did not say anything. So, he continued to act out his part."Yeah, but it's fine. It doesn't hurt that much," Stella smiled. "I would've yelled out in pain if it did."Leighton did not major in acting but was born for this career; he understood his role as Ralph well. He did not look like a celebrity when they were shooting the scene earlier. With his hair down and his glasses on, he looked like a college student who was gentle and kind. There was not even an ounce of hostility in his manner. His lines and expressions were also delivered ve
Stella had a bad feeling. She quickly tried to stop him and said, "Mr. Winfield, wouldn't it be better to find an experienced crew member?"Before Stuart could speak, Vermont said, "Are there even professional and technical requirements to hold a reflector? The person just needs to have enough strength to hold the thing, and strength is the only thing my driver has."Seeing that the person initially in charge of the reflector was not coming back soon, Stuart did not want to waste any more time. "Let's just roll with it for now. Ben, show him how it's done and get things started."Stella did not know what to say. Everyone was performing their duties while she held a worried expression on her face. Due to the layout of the bed, the person holding the reflector had to stand at the head of the bed. As soon as Stella lay upward on the bed, she could see Keegan holding the board and looking at her.She told herself to treat him like he was invisible. She ignored Keegan and looked at Le
Georgia was not a religious person, but her family was. She had always been a well-behaved and sensible girl in her family's eyes. However, Georgia was actually rebellious. When she removed the rosary bracelet and made out with Ralph, it symbolized her breaking her religion's view on sex before marriage, further showing her rebellious side.Stuart liked the metaphor very much and praised Stella repeatedly for her impromptu act. "That was good. Very good. I always felt that something was missing in this scene. How did you ever think of doing that, Stella?"Stella was quiet. There was no way she would expose herself by saying that she had to do it because she did not want to kiss someone else in front of her ex-husband. "The idea popped up, and I wanted to give it a try," she laughed dryly in reply.Leighton sat on the side, feeling a little disappointed. He did not have any distracting thoughts when they were shooting the scene. Stella was good at acting and delivered her lines w
Stella was speechless. 'His words make me feel good, but...'She said, "Don't butter me up. Do you think I don't know? You're deliberately causing trouble!"Keegan countered, "Would you feel indifferent if I were to kiss another woman?"Stella frowned. At the thought of the scene, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. However, she still wanted to persuade Keegan."Those are two different things! This is my job; everything is fake.""I know," Keegan lowered his gaze and looked at her. He continued, "But the fact that my heart aches is real. The fact that I'm upset is also real."Stella was startled and suddenly could not speak.Keegan circled his arms around his waist and inched a little closer to her. Then, he said in a muffled voice, "Must you shoot intimate scenes? Can you not do it?"Stella yielded to soft approaches rather than forceful ones, so she could not help but relent when she heard Keegan's tone."Well... It's not like I have to. Of course, it depends on the script, but
Just as she wanted to say something, her phone notified her of a message. She looked down and glanced at her phone.[You have received a transfer of 50,000 in your account.]The transferer was actually Albert. He also left a post-script: [P/S: Tell me if you need anything.]Stella was bewildered. Fifty thousand in Hustuabourgian currency was a big amount.'Has Albert lost his mind? Since I got married, he's never given me money without being asked. 'The last time he spent money on me was because everyone had pressured him, and he couldn't refuse. 'So he ended up spending a million dollars to buy me a bracelet,' she thought."What's wrong?" Keegan asked when he saw Stella's furrowed brows. She snapped out of her thoughts, "Albert transferred me fifty grand."Keegan paused. "He transferred money to you?""Previously, he called me and wanted to take me in as his foster daughter." Stella felt sick at the thought of Albert's feigned kindness. She continued, "He wants to reconne
