Chapter 19. Anticipation
”CEO, It looks like we will be able to get away with it.”
A producer said to CEO Shin with a smiling expression.
”I am worried about the shoot at first but Director Zhu really had outstanding ability, all the actors were also amazing.”
CEO Shin said with a rare smile on his face. All of his anxiety was now gone.
Some days ago, he was cursing the Director but now, he was showering him with praises.
It was because the investors were happy about the shooting. It means that they will be able to get more money for the marketing.
As he was talking cheerfully with the producer, a man came to them with hurried steps.
”CEO, there is a problem.”
He was the leader of the marketing department, Shi Shang.
”What happened now, was anything troubling the investors?”
”No, CEO, It's not that. They were happy with the shooting till now but they, they wanted to see the next scene.”
”Is there a problem if they wanted to see the next scene?”
”Yeah, there is a big problem.”
Shi Shang said with a white pale face.
”Is the director going to shoot the final scene, next?”
When Shi Shang nodded, the producer face also went pale. He was smiling a second ago but now, he looked like a man in debt.
”Why are you two making that face? Is there a problem if the director wanted to shoot the final scene next?”
CEO Shin asked with a confused face.
”I will explain to you, CEO. Actually, the final scene is a scene which is greatly supported by the acting of the person who is playing the role of Jay.”
”Are you talking about that rookie actor. I saw his acting and he was not bad. I even felt that his acting was quite good. Even Director Zhu liked him.”
”I know that but the last scene is not like any other scene. It's a scene in which Jay showed his most crazy side till now. It was a scene in which the actor had to do something more than just acting.”
When Shi Shang explained the matter with a distressed face, CEO Shin finally understood the matter.
”So, you are saying that there is a high chance that the rookie actor will mess up the scene and disappoint the investors.”
Both the producer and Shi Shang nodded at those words. They were worried that Ren will disappoint the investors and they would be dissatisfied with the shooting.
It wasn't like they did not trusted Ren's acting but even a veteran actor would find it hard to do that scene perfectly.
They were already in a tight spot with the investors.
”We had to took the investors out of the set. Don't let them watch the next scene.”
CEO Shin with a crumbled expression. He felt like life was playing with him. Just a moment ago, he was happy but now, his mind was again filled with anxiousness and worry.
He just wished that they would be able to convince the investors.

”Can't we go after watching the next scene?”
Shi Shang expression crumbled when he heard that but he didn't lose his complexion and tried to convince the investors.
”There is not much to see in this scene.”
”But I heard from a staff member that the next scene is really important.”
Shi Shang inwardly cursed the staff member who had said those words as he tried to stop himself from frowning.
”Although, the next scene is important, the director will mostly edit it. So, there's no need to stand here and watch it.”
”Really, but I wanted to see the rookie actor act.”
”Huh??”
