The Great Showbiz Commando novel Chapter 3

Muriel glanced at Hudson, as if waiting for his permission. He waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. After all, both of our crews are filming here, so you can easily jump back and forth. If you can't, then I can just start with all the scenes you need to finish. Once you're through, you can head to his crew for another round of shooting."

He sighed. "If it hadn't been for the fact that we already shot half of the script, I would've given you the role already. In fact, Sunny's role fits you really well."

They didn't lower their voices. Standing not far away, Sunny had been listening in on their entire conversation. She could feel the crew's mocking gazes on her back. She clenched her fists as she glared at Muriel.

After seeing Quentin off, the film crew began shooting the next part. Hudson groaned the moment he saw Sunny acting awkwardly in front of the camera. He had already told her what to do millions of times, but she still couldn't get the hang of it. "Forget it," he snapped. "We can just use the Muriel's scene and zoom in on Sunny's face. All you need to do now is make facial expressions."

Hudson had already rebuked Sunny relentlessly in front of the whole crew. Hearing some of them chuckle, she turned her head to glare at Muriel. Her entire face was flushed in embarrassment and anger.

Even if she wasn't doing anything, Muriel knew that Sunny was already cursing her entire family in heart.

In less than two minutes, Hudson was already shouting again. "You're a fairy, and they're demons. You have to show your superiority. Do you understand? They're not your enemies. You don't have to want to skin them alive, because in your mind, you already had!"

Usually, Sunny was great in acting, but this was the first time she had ever cooperated with Hudson. Although she knew that he had a bad temper, she didn't expect that he would tell her off in front of so many people. Sunny didn't work well when she was scolded. She couldn't get in character.

"Forget it. We can just shoot tomorrow. Let's just shoot the rivalry scene with the hero and the heroine." Hudson twisted his bottle cap irritably and drank it all up.

Muriel was quickly taken into the dressing room. She quickly changed into the same outfit as the heroine.

No matter what Walter had asked her to do, she performed the act perfectly. Hudson hadn't shot numerous scenes so smoothly in such a long time. He couldn't help but regret the fact that he couldn't give her any role. He shook his head helplessly.

If he had known her earlier, then he would've asked Muriel to be an actress instead of a stunt double.

"Cut! Let's call it a day." Hudson walked up to Muriel and handed her a bottle of water. "You've worked hard today, Muriel. In fact, in just one day, you already finished half a month's worth of shooting."

She smiled. "It's really no sweat." Compared to what she had experienced in the past, the intensity she felt now was nothing.

When Muriel headed back to the dressing room, the make-up artist and the stylist hurried over to take a picture with her. Being in the entertainment circle for so long, they knew who had the potential to become a great actress. Judging from her performance, they were a hundred percent sure that she was going to be a star.

This was why they had been so nice to her. Maybe if she became even more popular in the future, they would be able to work for her again.

Although Muriel didn't know why all of them were taking a picture with her, she patiently took a photo with every single one of them.

Looking at the way Muriel was being surrounded, Sunny was furious. She quickly got in Muriel's way when everyone had already left.

Sunny quickly forced a smile. "How about I'll take you out to see my friends tonight?"
