“Hmph” After venting her anger, Leila finally asked. “What are we shooting tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow morning, we’ll shoot indoor scenes and then move to Red Jack Club at 11 for outdoor
scenes. It’s your scene with Penelope, where you two have a conflict and you slap her twice, the
assistant handed her the script.
Leila’s eyes lit up
The next morning, the crew rented a private room at Red Jack Club and hung banners in the hallway.
As it was daytime and the club wasn’t officially open yet, there weren’t many customers, only some
waiters.
Penelope was unhappy with the script. “Why must she slap me? What kind of plot is this?”
The director was sweating profusely. He didn’t like Penelope very much, but he didn’t have the guts to
offend her. “Ms. Flanagan, this plot is very dramatic and it’s what the audience likes to see.”
Leila had been in the industry for 7 years and played numerous supporting roles before finally
becoming the female lead. At this moment, she was being suppressed by a rich heiress who knew
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnothing. Naturally, she was unhappy. “Ms. Flanagan, actors have to be professional. Getting slapped a
few times is common”
The director wiped the sweat off his forehead, afraid that the two would start quarreling, and quickly
said, “We can find a stunt double. Ms. Flanagan, we will arrange a stunt double for you”
Penelope suddenly remembered something and stopped the director. “Go find a waitress named
Allison here to be my stunt double.”
The director was a little stunned, but since Penelope had said so, he didn’t argue with Leila anymore.
The director was naturally happy and immediately waved his hand for the production assistant to find
Allison.
In the wine cellar, Allison was reconciling the amount of wine sold this month with the sommelier. They
were checking, and a staff member came over.
“Allison, I’ll take care of this. Someone is looking for you outside”
Allison handed over the list in her hand and walked out, seeing a person in a Melody of Delight crew
outfit standing outside the wine cellar.
The person looked at her and was also stunned. You look just like her.”
Allison looked at him, puzzled, “Are you looking for me?” She knew that a film crew had rented Red
Jack Club for the day to shoot a movie.
Many film crews rented Red Jack Club during the day to shoot because it was the largest
entertainment center in Northfield, without a doubt.
“You’re Allison, right? I’m Baron, the assistant director of Melody of Delight. We want you to be a stunt
double.”
“Me? Are you sure you have the right person?”
“Yes, Penelope asked me to come.”
“Penelope, is she here?” Allison frowned.
“She was the second female lead in their crew and was filming here today.”
“I won’t go.” Allison ignored him and walked away from the wine cellar.
Baron followed her, “We’ll pay you double the salary. Please consider it.”
“I won’t consider it.”
Baron returned to the private room and shook his head at the director. Penelope saw the situation and
stood up, “I insist on having Allison as my stunt double. I’ll go back to my RV, and when you’ve sorted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthings out, I’ll come over.”
The director felt very helpless. Penelope was really difficult to deal with.
Leila also stood up when she saw the situation. After all, as the female lead in the drama, if the second
female lead had left, why would she stay and
wait?
“After you finish sorting everything out, I’ll come over,” she said to the director.
The assistant director looked for Allison several times but couldn’t find her. Gavin, the director, went to
look for her personally. It was a coincidence that he knew the manager, Sarah.
He made a phone call and Sarah was surprised, “You want Allison to be a stunt double?”
“Sarah, we’ve been old friends for so long. Can’t you help me out?”
Sarah didn’t refuse but instead said, “I need to ask Allison’s opinion first.”
Gavin had rented Red Jack Club for filming and had been spending money all along. If they didn’t finish
filming this scene today, they would have to pay for labor and location fees tomorrow, which would cost
at least six figures.
He said, “Okay, Sarah, have that waitress come to your office. I’ll go over and talk to her myself.”
“Okay”
Sarah’s office.
