My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 424

This was the first time Nicole played as the female lead of a film, but the film director was very satisfied with her performance. Besides being experienced and skilled in acting, she filmed her role with dedicated professionalism, allowing the filming of the female lead’s scenes to go smoothly all the time.

However, the filming this day wasn’t going well, for it was fraught with multiple retakes of the same scenes. This was first because everyone was out of shape due to the hot weather, and secondly, because the supporting actress playing alongside Nicole kept making mistakes.

Standing aside while watching as they filmed, Sophia found that the problem wasn’t with Nicole, who did a perfect job as the lead actress and was in shape the whole time. However, the supporting actress kept making mistakes during filming, and she had quite a temper.

Also, she seemed to have quite some backing, because even the film director didn’t dare to lash out at her. As a result, the scenes that could have been completed that morning were still unfinished by noon.

After thinking about it for a while, Sophia turned around and left.

Michael was still eating when he saw Sophia coming back. Delighted, he said, “Hey, you’re back?”

Sophia didn’t answer him though. After packing some food, she washed her hands, took two pieces of bread, and left while carrying a flower basket.

Meanwhile, Nicole could finally take some rest after completing her scenes with much difficulty. Even so, the supporting actress who kept holding her back was still very unhappy, and she kept swearing all the time.

Even though Nicole was the lead actress of this film, she was practically new in the film industry. Since this was the first time she played the female lead of a blockbuster, she was tense the whole time; she didn’t dare to relax as she strived to do her best in every detail.

While everyone else was having lunch, she watched the playback of her scenes over and over again to search for possible flaws. Her talent agency had assigned a personal assistant to her, but the personal assistant attended to her half-heartedly and left sooner than she did after mealtime.

 

Nicole took a piece of bread from her backpack and ate it while watching the playback. To her surprise, she saw Sophia coming toward her.

Nicole didn’t know Sophia’s real identity, but she remembered the latter’s face even after all these while. Pleasantly surprised, she asked, “Why are you here?”

 

Sophia answered, “I’m playing as a walk-on on the set next door, so I decided to drop by.”

Then, she brought the food and the flower basket over, saying, “This flower basket is for you. Make a good film.”

She removed the signed card from the flower basket she had taken from the film set next door before giving it to Nicole.

This was the first time Nicole received a flower basket, and it filled her heart with warmth. Feeling especially happy, she said, “Thank you! I’ll do my best in the film.”

Nicole then ate her lunch while chatting with Sophia about the film crew and the orphanage.

She had signed one or two endorsement deals previously. They didn’t pay much, but the money was enough for her to spend. Her pay for the film ‘War Dragon’ was pathetically low despite her being the film’s lead actress, and she had sent the money back to the orphanage.

Nevertheless, she would no longer have to worry about not being offered film roles as long as she did a good job in this film.

After a while, the staff on the film set returned from lunch and resumed shooting right away.

Sophia stood aside and watched carefully as the film crew raced against the clock to film the scenes. Nicole was truly made for films; besides having a pretty face and a beautiful physique, she was a skilled actress with a solid mastery of the basic acting skills. Not only that, but she didn’t even require stunt doubles while filming fighting scenes.

This film would certainly become a box-office hit with her as the lead actress!

As she watched Nicole filming her scenes, she played with her cell phone and estimated the time left before she had to go back for dinner.

Suddenly, she heard a strange conversation next to her.

A voice full of arrogance was heard. “Whose flower basket is this?”

“This is given to Nicole by somebody else, Miss Olivia,” said the other voice in an extremely groveling tone.

“What? A little-known b*tch who rose to fame by selling her body also has flowers sent to her?”
