"Your next scene is with Miss Tracy..." mumbled the girl hesitantly.
Melody smiled understandingly. No wonder the young girl felt uneasy. Perhaps she was worried Melody would take out her frustration on her. However, Melody was not that kind of person. She gestured for the girl to leave.
"You go ahead. I'll be there in a moment."
Seeing that Melody had no intention of scolding her, the girl relaxed and left with a sigh. They were the most innocent in these kinds of situations, yet A-list actors and actresses would more often than not treat them as punching bags.
Later, the assistants of those A-list actors and actresses would come back with gifts to bribe the crew members, claiming that it was just a pure accident that they happened to be the target of their anger.
However, with such occurrences becoming more frequent, it had become normal for the crew members to approach those A-list actors and actresses with trepidation whenever they had bad news.
Usually, such news was delivered by temporary staff.
Melody remained calm. When it came to acting, she still had confidence. She had an innate talent for it, after all. Thus, she did not believe that Tracy having more screen time could overshadow her.
Originally, the scene they were filming together was a highly tense and explosive one. However, after some minor adjustments by the scriptwriter, Tracy's role received more screen time than Melody's.
Still, the scriptwriter was not someone to be easily manipulated. She was very unhappy about the rewrite since she thought that scene was over and done with. Thus, she took matters into her own hands and made subtle changes to make Tracy's character less likable.
In the movie, although Hailey played a side character, she was integral to the romantic subplot between Athena and Dieter. Their friendship arc was also a crucial element.
"If you want to act well in this movie, please tone down the arrogance and hostility on your face. Athena and Hailey have grown up together since childhood, and they're each other's most important person. So how could Hailey behave aggressively toward Athena?" said Shaun with a deep frown.
He could tolerate Tracy continuing to be part of his production, but he could not tolerate her acting skills ruining the entire movie.
Tracy knew that very well.
The early preparations for this film took Shaun a considerable amount of time, and securing investments drained a significant amount of his energy as well.
He had invested a great deal of passion into 'War Song' and hoped to win over the audiences' hearts with it. It was precisely because of all these reasons that he could not tolerate anyone ruining the movie.

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...
