Dear sweetheart novel (Rayna and Julian) novel Chapter 457

“You assumed that the male lead is a guest when you see him in your house and is very curious about his identity. When you notice his elegant and gentle mannerisms and think about the man you are going to marry, you start developing feelings for the male lead. You cannot help but wonder how nice it would be if you could marry him instead. Is it clearer now?”

Rayna finally understood after the director explained the plot to her in layman’s terms.

Alas!

She had flipped through the script on the way there and was secretly glad that there was not much dialogue for her part. To her surprise, it was much harder to act out a part without any lines.

The director proceeded to explain to them the specific positions that they should be standing at different times.

After the man was done with his briefing, he ushered Rayna onto the set and took his position behind the camera.

Wilson focused the camera on Rayna and zoomed into her face. When he saw the woman’s slightly chubby cheeks, he furrowed his brows and said, “Ms. Garland, you have to control your diet for the next few days. Your face is a little chubby, and it wouldn’t look good on screen.”

A blush of embarrassment spread across Rayna’s cheeks when she heard that.

It was a fact that she had put on some weight lately. However, the nutrients were all absorbed by her babies. It would make sense for her belly and thighs to have gotten larger, but she did not think that the weight would go to her face.

“Does my face really look that fat on screen?” Rayna asked softly.

“Yes, very.” Wilson nodded and elaborated honestly, “It looks almost as round as a whole cake.”

Feeling awkward, Rayna started to explain herself. “Well, it’s true that I have gained some weight recently, but I only weigh a hundred and fifteen pounds.”

“That’s too heavy. Usually, female actresses with your height wouldn’t weigh more than a hundred pounds.”

Rayna was at a loss for words.

Just when she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Curtis spoke placidly. “With the camera zooming in so much on the face, no matter how slim an actress is, she would still look fat on screen. Since Ms. Garland is not a professional actress, there’s no need to be so hard on her. This is a promotional video for a perfume, and the focus should be on the product. Why don’t you just shoot her side profile and eyes?”

Rayna chimed in at once, “Yup. Just shoot my side profile. Looking at the camera directly makes me nervous.”

After a moment of contemplation, Wilson nodded and agreed reluctantly. “Okay then. We can try shooting her side profile and see how it goes. Ms. Garland, if that doesn’t work, you should try to eat less to ensure that you can fit into the gowns.”

Gowns?

Rayna suddenly remembered that they had to go to Summerbank Film Company to film the next scene.

It was a retro scene that required her to wear two different gowns!

Everyone would be able to see my baby bump if I have to wear those tight-fitting gowns!

Oh, gosh! What should I do?

As thoughts started racing through Rayna’s mind, Wilson’s voice suddenly rang in her ear. “Ms. Garland, please get into your position.”

The woman had no choice but to compose herself and take her position.

Even though Rayna and Curtis were both amateurs in acting, they were people of status. As such, Wilson did not dare to shout at them like he usually did with C-list actors and actresses. Throughout the entire filming process, the director was especially respectful and polite to them.

As it was Rayna’s first acting experience, although she had someone to guide her through every step along the way, it was still very difficult for her to get into the role.

It took more than ten reshoots for her to find the way.

`After an entire day of filming, out of the dozens of footage that the crew had recorded, there were only ten seconds that Wilson was satisfied with. The director told everyone to pack up and go home after instructing them to arrive at the set on time the next day to carry on with the filming.

As Wilson had been teaching Rayna various acting techniques and telling her things to take note of, the woman barely had any rest and was exhausted by the end of the day.

On the way back, she fell asleep on the screenwriter’s shoulders.

Upon reaching the homestay, the screenwriter tapped on Rayna’s arm gently and tried to wake her up. However, Rayna was unaroused and remained in a deep slumber. “What should I do? I’m unable to wake Ms. Garland up. Should I leave her to continue sleeping in the car?”

“The air circulation in the car isn’t good.” Curtis strode over and said. His gaze dimmed slightly before he continued, “I’ll send her back.”

The screenwriter got out of the car at once and stood next to the stylist.
