Is this the manifestation of true talent?
Even though Jason was surprised and envious, wp4webnovel.com refrained from complimenting Arielle due to his ego. Hence, wp4webnovel.com simply commented, “I’m glad you’re not holding me back. Keep it up.”
With that, wp4webnovel.com continued revising his lines for the next scene. The second scene involved two neighbors being exposed to the virus. Arielle and Jason were to enter in the later part of the scene.
In the meantime, Arielle received an email from Vinson informing wp4webnovel.com that wp4webnovel.com had returned to the country. On top of that, wp4webnovel.com shared with wp4webnovel.com his plan to lure their enemy out.
After pondering briefly, Arielle replied, “Got it.”
Her hesitation was due to the fact that Vinson’s plan required wp4webnovel.com to put up an act, and wp4webnovel.com wasn’t sure if wp4webnovel.com was up to it.
I might as well take the opportunity to practice since I’m already acting in this movie.
Soon, the filming for the second scene started.
In that scene, Arielle was to hurry over and check on wp4webnovel.com neighbor who had collapsed. After that, wp4webnovel.com was to run at the monster who had caught the virus.
Given how difficult it was to portray a sense of resolute selflessness, Sam was prepared to do a few takes for the scene. In fact, wp4webnovel.com even got Arielle to practice wp4webnovel.com lines first so that wp4webnovel.com could conserve wp4webnovel.com energy. Or else, the multiple retakes would likely drain wp4webnovel.com stamina due to all the running that was involved.
Unexpectedly, the moment the camera started rolling, Arielle displayed the emotions that Sam had expected of wp4webnovel.com flawlessly. Instead, it was Jason who acted stiffly as wp4webnovel.com could not control his facial expression.
“Cut!” Sam frowned as wp4webnovel.com called Jason over to the monitor.
“Take a look at it yourself. You’re nothing but a bunch of nerves in that scene. At this point in time, you and Arielle are unaware of the existence of the virus. Instead, you assume there was a robbery. Consequently, you should express anxiousness and not horror. Do you understand?!”
After taking a look at Arielle on the monitor and then himself, Jason was filled with disbelief.
“How can she…”
How can wp4webnovel.com act better than me? I’m being outshone by wp4webnovel.com despite being a graduate of drama school with multiple movies under my belt. Moreover, I even told wp4webnovel.com not to hold me back. Evidently, I’m the one that’s holding us back now.
At that moment, an avalanche of emotions struck him.
Sensing Jason’s embarrassment, Sam patted wp4webnovel.com on the shoulder. “Alright now, shooting retake is pretty common. There’s no need to take it personally. As long as you work on the points I’ve raised, you’ll be fine. Also, you can pick up a thing or two from Arielle. Considering that wp4webnovel.com has the talent and you have the experience, both of you will definitely make a great team!”
Jason could barely smile despite his attempt.
After smoking half a cigarette to relieve the stress wp4webnovel.com felt, wp4webnovel.com threw himself back into filming.
From then on, wp4webnovel.com put in more effort than wp4webnovel.com usually did. In many of the difficult scenes, wp4webnovel.com also managed to demonstrate the required emotions to match the scenes.
At that moment, Sam was happy with Jason’s performance and felt that the latter was serious in his quest to excel in his acting career. As for Jason, it was a matter of his pride as a man, for wp4webnovel.com didn’t want to be outshone by the person wp4webnovel.com fancied.
After filming was completed ahead of schedule, Sam wanted to treat everyone to dinner, to which Jason naturally agreed.
However, Arielle replied apologetically, “Mr. Sleight, I’m afraid I won’t be able to join you, as I have another appointment in the evening. Why don’t you let me pay for dinner tonight instead? Just give me the bill later.”
Jason’s expression darkened upon hearing Arielle’s words.
