Although Lara’s younger sister was an acting major, her performance was all skill and lacked emotion. Her facial expressions and movements were very rigid on camera. Most importantly, she was not pretty.
She was the kind of person passersby would not give a second glance at in a crowd.
She had no aptitude for acting.
However, she still put on airs.
She relied on the fact that she was Lara’s sister and was rude to the assistant director.
After taking three shots in a row, the assistant director said nicely, “Let’s take another one?”
Lara’s sister became angry all of a sudden and cried aggrievedly in front of so many people. She even accused the assistant director of bullying her as a newcomer.
The assistant director was stunned and so angry that he could not say a word.
Lara watched from the side and comforted her sister. Then, she went over to the assistant director with a smile.
“Is it not passable? It’s just one scene, so just let it pass if it’s acceptable. After all, it can’t be too good, lest she steals the protagonist’s limelight!”
What else could the assistant director say if Lara already said this?
Thus, the assistant director had no choice but to wrap up this shot and deemed it a failure.
This scene was a memory of the male lead’s first love, who only had to turn around gently and face the camera.
This scene was intended to stun the audience.
As a result, the clip that was filmed was not at all stunning, but almost frightening.
The audience would probably start to doubt the male lead’s taste in women.
The assistant director sighed.
A short break was announced.
Lara led her sister to the side.
Her younger sister grew up pampered and had a higher starting point than others. Her older sister was Lara, so she also had a hot temper.
“Are you tired?”
“I’m not tired, but the crew said that the woman I replaced came in the same car as Eric Ferguson. Do they have a special relationship?”
Younger girls were more sensitive to gossip.
Lara smiled meaningfully and smugly.
“Don’t worry. How could Eric Ferguson be interested in her? She’s just working as a nanny for him now and is only qualified to sit in the passenger seat next to the driver. Look, when I said that you were going to replace her, that woman didn’t even dare to fight back. That’s why you landed the role.”
Her younger sister smiled. “Thanks, Lara.”
“You’re welcome.”
The two were talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very cordial.
Not far away, Mr. Griffin was furious and walked over angrily.
The assistant director quickly stood up. Just as he was about to say something, Mr. Griffin went straight to Lara.
“Mr. Ferguson has withdrawn his investment because your sister snatched Selena’s role. I just received the notice two minutes ago, and now, our shoot is canceled!”
Mr. Griffin’s face and neck were flushed.
He was also regretful.
Eric did not give him any leeway.
It took less than three minutes from when Eric left to when he received the call.
It was clear how serious Eric was.
The investment he landed disappeared.
Thus, he was not so polite to Lara anymore.
If it was not for Lara, how could he have offended Eric?
