77 Chapter 29 (1/2)

The clock ticked fast as the shoot progress while the producer excused himself that he had a meeting to attend, leaving Evangeline to herself, sitting at the side.

Making herself comfortable, Evangeline took a sip from her cup of tea. Though she appeared bored and uncaring at the happenings around her, her eyes, however, constantly followed Eric, who was, in turn, busy at getting things here and there.

Her attention was then piqued when she heard trouble.

”What do you mean, Johnson couldn't make it?” The director asked irritably.

”Mr. Johnson's manager said he had an accident and wanted to postpone his part until he gets better.”

The director's face turned red from constrained anger. True that the man's part wasn't important as he was but a pa.s.sing character, not even worth mentioning. But even if he was a pa.s.sing character, as long as he didn't show up, especially that the entire scene was already set for his role, the whole schedule would change! They had to set up this specific scene once more, which would take an entire half a day to arrange. Not to mention that they would also lose money and time for they were shooting in a hot spring resort at the northern parts of Burberry for the scene.

All the scenes which needed this backdrop should be shot today! He couldn't afford to travel and rent and waste time to set up everything once more for a scene that didn't even last five minutes long.

”Change the actor!”

At the declaration of this, all the staff froze, yet not entirely surprise.

Then the director added, ”His role wasn't important, to begin with. Let's use someone around here.” Looking at everyone, he announced, ”Let's take a thirty-minute break.”

The director then walked towards the person who was in charge of the actors. ”Find me a replacement before the break is over.”

After he said that, he zoomed to his private room, slamming the door shut, leaving the person in charge of the actors behind, who was grabbing her hair in frustration. Where the h.e.l.l will I find an actor in this short of time?!

The scene this time was in a hot spring when Reisha was taking a bath. Due to the scheming n.o.bles who wanted her dead so their daughters could have the t.i.tle of the main wife, they secretly smuggled inside a man –– trying to frame her of having an affair.

Finding a guy to take up the role of the smuggled man was easy. However, finding a man who was handsome and had a body loved by women was incredibly hard!

Ah . . . Why does the smuggled man have to be handsome and s.e.xy? Where will I find that kind of man in thirty minutes? The staff thought, on the verge of crying while running all over the place as she shouted at her subordinates to search.

At the side, Evangeline's smile crook upwards, enjoying the troubled looks on everyone's faces.

While she was lost in her enjoyment, on the other part of the set, the stylist, Rise, who was responsible for Johnson's costumes and makeup, heard about the problem.

She got out of the room reserved for Johnson, who didn't show up and walked around to help search for a subst.i.tute.

Then her eyes sparkled when she saw the back of a man.

As the stylist for the smuggled man, she was knowledgeable than anyone of what type of man fitted the role. She read the script and put into heart the designs for each character, no matter how important nor small.

At this moment, no one could be more perfect than the man before her eyes.

Though the guy was wearing a simple long sleeve shirt and pants, she could tell from his build and posture and from those subtle muscles which formed whenever his shirt got stuck to his body that he was beyond perfect for the role!

Only, she was disappointed when he turned, and her G.o.dly image of him shattered before her eyes.

Dark, messy hair and gla.s.ses with weak countenance and aura.

Sighing, Rise halted her advance towards him. And as she was about to turn and search again, she found that her eyes kept locking on that nerdy man.

Her eyes never failed her before. Taking a closer look the second time around, she found that his features were . . . not bad . . .

She contemplated. Makeup could change everything! Nodding to herself, she approached him.
