Chapter 774 Janek Werner
“Cut!”
Donald walked up to Xaiden and patted his face. “Mr. Stone, how could you cry out? What you should be portraying is the protagonist's unyielding character, so even if it hurts like crazy when you fall, you shouldn't make a sound. Come on. Let's get back to your position and retake the scene.”
“F*ck you!” Exasperated, Xaiden raised his fist to punch Donald.
Unexpectedly, not only did Donald instantly grasp Xaiden's wrist, but he also gave the latter a hard slap across his face.
Xaiden's cheek immediately swelled up like a pig's head, and blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
Donald looked at Xaiden and uttered calmly, “Mr. Stone, I'm a person who values fairness. Since you demanded Dragon Fide Corporation's artists to live up to your set of standards, then you'd better set an example for us first. You can either get your *ss back there and reshoot the scene until I'm satisfied, or I'll break your legs and send you straight to the hospital.”
“I would like to see who's the arrogant b*stard who dares to cause a commotion here in the Werner family's studio.”
Right after Donald finished his sentence, a young man's voice came from the entrance.
Xaiden reacted in a manner as if he had seen his savior when he laid his eyes on the newcomer. “Mr. Werner, help me! Mr. Werner, this Donald is trying to break my legs on set. He really doesn't respect you at all.”
Donald turned and saw a young man clad in a white suit with a beautiful woman beside him, striding toward them.
“Who are you?” Donald asked.
The woman beside the young man, Dory Huntington, glowered at Donald and replied, “Are you blind? How can you not recognize Mr. Janek Werner?”
Janek swaggered into the director's chair, gazing at Donald haughtily as he spoke. “You should count yourself fortunate to have the chance to collaborate with us, Werner Brothers Studios. What's the matter? Are artists nowadays so full of themselves, even daring to defy the director's orders?” He pointed at Donald and continued, “And you. How dare you hit my subordinate? Let go of him at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it.”
Donald laughed after hearing that.
Although he already knew the entertainment industry was all about connections and backgrounds, he didn't expect an immature brat like Janek to have the guts to show up at the filming set and boss him around.
Without warning, he gave Xaiden another smack across the latter's face.
Xaiden, who was slapped, covered his face aggrievedly, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.
One should always look before one leap. Donald was blatantly disrespecting Janek by hitting Xaiden in front of him.
“I'll say it again. Either he retakes the scene until I'm satisfied, or I break his legs and send him straight to the hospital. You decide.”
That was the first time Janek had been threatened in that manner.
He felt rage surge within him. I must teach this Donald brat a lesson today, no matter what.
Just as Janek was about to instruct the bodyguards behind him to deal with Donald, Belle arrived at the set in a hurry. She said to Janek, who was seated in the director's chair, “Mr. Werner, why did you come here?”
“What's the matter? This movie is Dory's debut on the big screen, so can't I come over to take a look?”
“Of course, you can, but there is a filming schedule and progress that the crew has to adhere to, so it would be best if we don't interrupt the filming process.”
“What are you talking about, Belle? I'm not interrupting the filming process. This brat is!”
“That's enough, Mr. Werner. Let me handle the situation here. You should head back first.”
Although Belle maintained a gentle tone when she spoke, she regarded Janek with a look of incontestable authority.
