Chapter 94
The early shooting went pretty smooth.
In the final shot, Agnes” character, Sylvia fell from the sky, landing right on Samie’s bed, their lips brushed against each other
Justin was already in bed.
He looked so charming Even before the camera started rolling he was already in position on the bed, gesturing to Agnes, “Agnes, I’m waiting for you”
He even blew her a kiss, captivating everyone watching
Justin was shirtless at the time, a real treat for the whole crew His face was jaw–dropping, sometimes it was even hard to tell his gender, but his body was top notch. The muscle definition was there. He had a six pack, but wasn’t the typical musclehead He just had the right amount.
Then, out of the blue, the director said, “Bring in the stunt double.”
The word stunt double caught everyone off guard.
At this point, a petite girl with delicate features stepped out of the crowd. The girl bore some resemblance to Agnes, and she seemed a bit nervous
The director came over and casually introduced, “Agnes, this is your stunt double. She’ll handle the kissing scenes and some of the risky moves from now on.” The girl bowed to Agnes, “Agnes, nice to meet you. I’m Lucila, your stunt double. Please guide me where you can.”
Agnes was taken aback. She didn’t know that the production team had arranged a stunt double for her.
But Agnes didn’t really want to do kissing scenes in the first place, so she just went with the flow since the production team had made the arrangements Beatrice was standing by, arms crossed, sarcastically saying. “Agnes, you’re using a stunt double for a modern drama? If word gets out, it might not look so good”
In fact, the director Zoe didn’t like using stunt doubles either, but it was Ivan’s strong insistence
Zoe guessed that Ivan might have had feelings for the girl, otherwise, there was no need to arrange a stunt double in this situation.
Even though he wasn’t too keen on it, he had to respect the producer’s decision
Zoe said, “Alright, enough chit–chat. Let’s get in position.”
But Justin disagreed, he suddenly stood up and said, “Is my kiss something anyone can get? If she’s using a stunt double, I’m not filming.” Agnes was speechless. This was a shoot, not a date.
It took the director and his agent quite some time to convince him, and finally, Justin conceded
The shooting officially began.
However, Justin was deliberately uncooperative. The same scene was shot dozens of times and still didn’t get approved
Agnes noticed. Justin was throwing a tantrum, and eventually, Zoe got pissed off.
Seeing the shooting progress being hindered, Agnes stepped up, saying. “Let me do it.”
Since Agnes was willing, Zoe naturally wouldn’t object. He only cared about the quality of the movie and no longer considered Ivan’s wishes. Seeing Agnes change her clothes and get ready to go on stage, Justin finally laughed, “If you had decided this earlier on, I wouldn’t have had to work so hard”
Agnes thought he did this on purpose, as she was already hung in the air.
