Chapter 399 To her, the sum it cost was a mere small change, and it served to gain the crew‘s favor Even though some were unhappy with her work attitude, they couldn‘t say much given that they had received so many gifts from her. Stella was resting in the set when the assistant suddenly ran towards her. “Ella, the director has called for you!” Stella stood up, slightly confused. Was it because she performed poorly just now? Only after she had walked to Bradley did she realize the woman standing next to him was none other than Guinevere. She clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug painfully into the flesh of her palms as she tried hard to keep a straight face. The sharp pain forced her to calm down. She turned to Bradley. “What‘s the matter?”
“Let me do the introductions. This is Guinevere Cohen. I suppose she needs no further introduction?” Stella nodded. “Ms. Cohen, I‘ve heard so much about you.”
She thought Guinevere would pretend not to know her, but Bradley continued, “She mentioned that you‘re the dance teacher of a child of a friend she knows. Since both of you are considered acquaintances, I won‘t say much. You share many common scenes, so communication will be much easier, given you know each other...”
Stella looked at Guinevere, slightly taken aback. All she saw was Guinevere smiling kindly at her, seemingly without ill intentions.
She walked to her, her hand outstretched, “It‘s been a while.”
Guinevere blinked a couple of times at Stella, the smile on her lips never quite reaching the depths of her eyes.
She was an actress, after all. She knew what expression to put on to make others have a good impression of her in such situations.
Guinevere was the main lead in this scene. She had many impressive fighting shots that were the highlights for the lead female warrior. As such, preparations were made to ensure that everything was perfect. It went without saying that Guinevere‘s acting skills were amazing, unsurprising since she was a celebrity who had once clinched the best actress of the year award. Although she had stopped working for a period and was slightly out of practice, her strong foundation in acting was evident.
Bradley let her pass in that scene. It wasn‘t perfect, but there weren‘t any major problems either—the critical part would be the subsequent series of highly demanding actions. Guinevere had to wield a sword and jump from a stone to a cliff. Perhaps because she had just given birth, her moves appeared sluggish and laborious. Sadly, she did not succeed even after multiple takes. She looked apologetically at the crew and said, “I‘m sorry, it‘s all because of my poor physical condition...”
If it were due to any other reason, Bradley would‘ve had quite a few things to say. However, this was clearly because of her physical limitations, and scolding her would do nothing to help The only thing he did was ask, “Do you need a double?”
