The Great Showbiz Commando novel Chapter 14

Muriel called Richard in a hurry. Seeing the caller ID on his phone, Richard paused his meeting and walked out of the conference room to answer the phone. "Are you calling me just for today's news?"

"Richard, are you buying Times Culture just for me?" Muriel asked straightforwardly.

Richard could imagine how conflicted Muriel was at the other end of the phone. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I said I would protect you for all my life."

"Ho! Richard, you said that when you were only in grade five. You still remember it?" Muriel asked in surprise.

"Don't you remember?"

Muriel coughed and said, "Err... Well, forget it. I don't need you to protect me by spending so much money and buying other companies. "

"Don't worry. The acquisition didn't cost much. Besides, I have my own thoughts and plans. The company won't lose money or go bankrupt."

"All right. I'm going to work in the new crew. You can go ahead with your work."

Richard reminded her again and again, "If you have a stomachache, you should pay attention to your diet habits. If the shooting is not over after the meal time, prepare something to fill your stomach."

"OK, I'll be careful. Bye."

In the meeting room, the department manager asked curiously, "Secretary Victor, who is on the phone with Mr. Richard? It's been so long. "

Before Secretary Victor opened his mouth, the project manager beside him also asked curiously, "Yes, yes. Mr. Richard never answers phone calls in meetings. Secretary Victor, do you know who that is?"

Without any expression on his face, Secretary Victor sorted out the materials and said, "I don't know."

"Really? You are with him every day... "

"Bang!" The door of the meeting room was opened, and the project manager swallowed the words on the lips in a hurry.

Richard returned to his seat and continued to listen to his subordinate's report.

On the other side, Muriel packed her luggage and got in Catherine's car to ahead to the film crew.

When they arrived at the destination, a woman saw Catherine's car and strode forward, she respectfully shouted, "Ms. Catherine."

"Muriel, this is your assistant, Lydia. I have to go to the next crew now. If there is any emergency, please inform me as soon as possible." Catherine said after checking the time.

"Okay."

After Catherine left, Lydia Zhang reached out to take over Muriel's suitcase. Muriel hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, thank you, there's no need to help me out. I can do it myself."

Lydia Zhang took a look at Muriel and found that Muriel really meant it, as she was in a firm attitude instead of politeness, so she gave up the idea of carrying Muriel's suitcase.

According to the instructions of the crew, Muriel finally found director Hudson on the shooting site.

"Director Hudson, I'm here!"

Director Hudson looked up at the person in front of him and said with pleasant surprise, "Oh, I'm looking forward to seeing you, Muriel!"

"Director Hudson, I'm sorry. Since I signed Purple Cloud Media a few days ago, I've been busy with the subsequent signing of the contract recently. I'm really sorry that I didn't come in time." Muriel said sincerely.

"It doesn't matter. Your dormitory is over there. Hurry up to put your luggage away and get dressed."

It took them three days to shoot this scene before they could barely accept. No matter how hard they edit, the effect was not cool and awesome. It was far from the scene in Director Hudson's mind. The director who was strict with the play could only place his hopes on Muriel.

"Three, two, action!"

As soon as he gave the order, a scream came from the figurant, "Ah! Catch the thief! "

Muriel quickly turned around and ran after the thief in her fifteen-centimeter-high heels.

The figurant who played thief was about to slow down and wait for Muriel to come up, but when he turned around, he saw Muriel was already behind him, which made him stumble and fall to the ground.

It was written in the script that the thief found that Tessa Tang had caught up with him, so he had to stop and pick up the dagger to stab her. Tessa Tang dodged the attack and quickly subdued the thief.

But now the thief was frightened by Muriel and fell to the ground, which was different from the script. Director Hudson frowned and was about to call cut. But look at Muriel! She reacted quickly. She turned the thief over with her back up, bent her knees and pressed the thief's legs directly, and reached out to grab the thief's two arms to dissuade him behind.

The thief was suppressed and couldn't move. He was so anxious that veins bulged on his face. Tessa Tang scolded coldly, "Hands up. I'm a police."

"……" It's always awkward that the air would suddenly become quiet.

Director Hudson came to his senses and shouted excitedly, "Cut! Oh my goodness!"

Hearing Director Hudson's voice, Muriel quickly released the figurant who played the thief and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"

"No." The thief looked at Muriel strangely. Just now, he was brought into the play by the tone and action of Muriel. For a moment, he really thought he was a thief.

Director Hudson and the martial arts director watched the playback of the video for several times. The more they looked at it, the bigger the smile on their faces became. He praised loudly, "Muriel, it's good for you to cope with the emergency. This scene is really amazing! Tut-tut-tut."
