Because of the arrival of Richard and Xyla, the atmosphere on the production site seemed to have a subtle change.
Certainly, that was just the feeling of the walk-ons. Although the leading actors were unaffected, they heard about it.
The leading actors and the walk-ons normally didn’t mingle with each other. Apart from the scenes which they had to work on together, the two indifferent protagonists never got into contact with the walk-ons.
After an important scene was done, the two male leads took a rest. Harry drank some water and started gossiping. “Old man, your wife’s ex boyfriend and her ex boyfriend’s current girlfriend are here. Are you nervous?”
Harry giggled without uttering a word.
As the male leads were having a chat, the female walk-ons wanted to approach them to get their contact numbers or take photos with them. Before they could do that, they were blocked out by the bodyguards in black. Left with no choice, they could only watch the male leads from afar.
With the script in her hands, Nicole paced around for a long time. Eventually, she mustered enough courage and walked toward the male leads to discuss the next scene with them. The bodyguards, who blocked out those walk-ons moments ago, let her pass.
“What the heck. How can she approach my idols?”
“She’s the female lead. Are you? Pfft.”
“That’s right. Not everyone can be the female lead. Do you have the same tricks that she possesses?”
The supporting actresses talked loudly in jealousy.
Because of her access to the male leads, Nicole became the common enemy of the females on the production site. Despite knowing what others talked about her, she had no choice but to go on with what she had to do as she was the female lead.
Since she would have direct interactions with the male leads in the drama, she would have to discuss the scenes with them. If she didn’t look for them now, should she knock on the male leads’ doors at night when everyone was taking a rest?
In the drama, she was the bright and brave protagonist, but in reality, she was just a humble and timid newbie to the industry in front of the male leads.
Taylor and Harry were seated on chairs. With the script in her hands, it was inappropriate for Nicole to stand or squat, but there was no extra chair. Left without a choice, she decided to take a seat on the ground since her clothes were already dirty, and the next scene required her to roll on the ground anyway.
Michael had high hopes for Nicole after he was forced to watch Nicole’s dramas at home. Moreover, they worked together in some dramas before. Although she didn’t graduate from an acting academy, she was bright and talented in acting. Not only was she willing to learn, but she was also very responsible in her work. Since she came to discuss the scenes, Michael was willing to rehearse with her.
However, he felt pressured that Nicole was seated on the ground in front of him because she was his wife’s idol.
Before he could say anything else, Nicole’s loyal fan, Sophia, came over with a chair. “Nicole, don’t sit on the ground. Come on, this chair is for you!”
Embarrassed, Nicole said, “I’m okay with sitting on the ground. You can take a seat on the chair instead.”
Sophia replied, “It’s fine. Please have a seat. I’ll just get one more chair.”
It was only then did Nicole take her seat on the chair. After bringing over another chair, Sophia helped fan Nicole, passed a bottle of water to her, and held out an umbrella for her.
