Shaun nodded.
"It's possible to fix it later, but the result might not come across as real. That's why I had Jeff call you back. How did your meal go? Did you have a good time?" he asked with a smile.
Melody nodded. "Yeah, I ate to my heart's content. Don't worry, I'll try to do the scenes in one take!"
"Good!"
Shaun looked at Melody with a gratified expression as if he were looking at his own daughter.
Many actors and actresses wanted to work with him, but they could not tolerate his frequent script and scene changes. Behind his back, they quietly called him 'Old Trouble'.
He was aware of all that, but he did not care. He always believed that nothing—whether it was the script, the camera, or the actors and actresses—could be considered finalized until the scene played out exactly as he imagined it to be.
Everyone's vision would be perfect in their imagination, but the actual portrayal might end up at another extreme and completely unrelated to their initial expectations.
He did not blindly trust everything, not even himself; he only believed in the final product of the film. His demands for the performance were clear—the actors or actresses had to meet all of his requirements if they wanted to be in his films.
Melody, however, was different from the others; she seemed like a kindred spirit. Actors or actresses who could work seamlessly with him were few and far between, so Shaun was very grateful to Lucas for discovering such a promising talent.
Once immersed in her role, Melody completely transformed into Athena. Gone were all the unpleasantness that occurred during the meal earlier.
Melody was so vivid and lively that anyone involved in filmmaking, upon seeing her in that state, could not help but be captivated by her.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
