In order to perform better for this scene, Xyla had been preparing herself by maintaining a strict diet to make sure she was in good shape. Meanwhile, Richard happened to drop by the set for a visit. Despite witnessing someone hugging his fiancée, he was still happy for her, knowing that Xyla would rise to fame once the movie was released. She’ll make me proud if Glory Entertainment successfully makes her a star.
The shooting began as the fight scene between the two male leading actors went on without a hitch. Nevertheless, audio recordings couldn’t be done when filming a fight scene. Therefore, the audios could only be added during the post-production, which required the actors to dub their voices by then. The next moment, the two actors were seen interacting with each other happily while filming.
Michael reminded, “Hey, my wife is watching, so remember to take it easy!”
Hearing his partner’s words, Harry replied, “What’re you telling me that for? Talk to the director and the producer!”
In the meantime, Xyla couldn’t wait for the next scene in which the antagonist would drag her away by force. Barely able to contain her excitement, she even came up with a few positions comfortable for Taylor to carry. However, Natasha was later seen emerging from the crowd with the same attire and hairstyle as Xyla’s. At the sight of that, Xyla’s heart sank.
Natasha then walked toward the director and said in an aggressive manner, “The next scene is likely going to be dangerous. If anything goes wrong when Xyla is shooting, she won’t be able to complete the subsequent shots. Since these scenes don’t need the character to show her face, I could perhaps double for her.” Without hiding her intent, Natasha’s straightforward reply made the director furrow his brows.
Nonetheless, the director eventually gave in and agreed to Natasha’s suggestion. Never mind. It’s only just a few shots, so I guess I should just let her be. “Alright, you can go ahead then.”
Upon hearing that, Natasha smiled gleefully, knowing that things would go in her favor. Meanwhile, Xyla could only watch her rightful opportunity slipping through her fingers in a helpless manner. As resentful as she felt, she held her peace and restrained herself from speaking her mind. Soon, Richard patted her shoulder, signaling her to calm down. After all, the Harper and the Huff Family were no match for the Mitchell Family even with their combined power. Besides, Natasha only came here because of Taylor, so her presence wouldn’t actually jeopardize Xyla’s position in the filming process, and neither would she prove to be a threat.
Finally, the break was over just as the director summoned everyone to continue the shoot. At the same time, Harry was also seen exiting his tent while all other actors got into their positions to get ready.
On the other hand, Natasha was exhilarated about the moment she’d get up close to Taylor. At the thought of that, her heart instantly fluttered with nervousness and excitement. Nevertheless, Taylor, who was cast as the antagonist, was nowhere to be seen. Thinking that he must still be resting in his tent, the director quickly headed there to call him, only to see the actor showing up not long after that.
In the next scene, Taylor was needed to be shirtless, thus revealing his perfect muscular build. Besides that, he tanned his skin for the film, which made him look even hotter and attractive. While staring at this masculine actor, Natasha was instantly overwhelmed by a rush of adrenaline. Oh my gosh! I’m going to be in this man’s arms later on.
