Chapter 775 Talented Filmmaker
Janek glared at Donald as he realized that his pocket money was still in Belle's possession. “Consider yourself lucky today, you brat. You won't be so fortunate the next time we cross paths. Come on, Dory, we're leaving.”
As Janek stormed off, all eyes on the set turned to Belle.
Donald was still clutching Xaiden's arm. Belle had to come up with a solution to the problem at hand.
Nevertheless, she remained calm as she sat on the chair. She turned to Xaiden and said, “Why don't you just cooperate and do some filming since Mr. Campbell wants you to do that?”
What? Cooperate?
Everyone else turned to stare at Belle as if she had lost her mind.
After all, she was known as the Iron Lady in the entertainment industry.
Anyone who dared lay a hand on Werner Brothers Studios' employees or even disrespect them would be duly dealt with by Belle.
“Belle, I...”
Xaiden was feeling frustrated as things weren't going his way.
“What? Are you going to defy me now?”
Xaiden shuddered and remained silent upon hearing her words.
Even Janek, the owner of Werner Brothers Studios, dared not go up against Belle. Who was Xaiden to defy her?
Hence, Xaiden had no choice but to hold back his tears and do the retakes under Donald's instructions.
Belle watched on patiently, refusing to say anything until the outcome met Donald's expectations.
It wasn't until the thirteenth retake when blood started seeping through Xaiden's pants and he couldn't stand straight anymore that Donald beckoned him over. “Mr. Stone, I have yet to see the scene you wanted after so many retakes. Is it because your acting isn't up to par?”
Thud! Xaiden fell to his knees and sobbed, “I'm so sorry, Mr. Campbell. It's all my fault. I never intended to put Ms. Shabelle in such a difficult position. I promise I will fulfill my duties as a director properly in the future. Things like this will never happen again.”
“Have you truly realized your mistake?”
“Yes. Please, I beg you. Let me go, Mr. Campbell.”
“Fine, then. Get out of my sight.”
It was only then that the film crew's medics dared approach Xaiden to examine his wounds.
They cut open his pants, revealing the gruesome mess of flesh that was once his knees.
Everyone on set inhaled sharply when they saw his injuries.
Gosh... Donald is merciless.
However, Donald seemed not to notice as he turned to Belle and said, “Ms. Harryson, you didn't come on set today just to watch me shoot, did you?”
Belle smiled. “I had initially wanted to talk business with you, Mr. Campbell. But I never knew you are such a talented filmmaker. In fact, you are even better than Xaiden. Even I want to hire you as our assistant director now that I've seen you in action.”
Of course, she was being polite.
However, the production team was baffled as to why she would say that to Donald.
Is he a bigshot?
“What business did you want to talk about? Shoot.”
Belle smiled and replied, “I heard that your company is working on creating the most luxurious neighborhood in the world for the wealthy, Dragon Fide Villa, and you are halfway through with the project?”
“That's right. What about it?”
“Well, I'd like you to introduce Ms. Wilson to me, as I want to discuss about building a movie theater in Dragon Fide Villa. I assure you that after years of research and development, our technology is first class in the industry, whether it's for a 3D theater or a holographic theater.”
