Chapter 166 Seeing Something Unfair
Chapter 166 Seeing Something Unfair
When they are talking, director Wang asks them for preparation to shoot the drama again. The little girl
jumps into the lake once again. This time the take is good. Milena also does not come out to interrupt
while Jenny brings a group of passers-by to run over there to save her. The scene should be done
when the group of them run to the lake.
No one knows whether it is intentional. But when Jenny is just about to reach the lake, Milena screams
suddenly, “Oh my God, there are worms, worms…”
The actresses behind Jenny are terrified and they scatter around the scene.
The director is irritated until he has no way out but to accept the situation. He directly shouts “cut” and
lets the crew to take a short break. The little girl who jumps into the lake climbing ashore. She is
shivering. The towel that she uses to wrap her body is totally wet. It looks scarily cold in the winter.
Jenny is quite tired after running back and forth. She losses her temper and pulls down the green plaid
scarf on her neck. She throws the scarf at Milena’s feet, panting, “Milena, what do you mean? Can we
still finish the shot smoothly?”
Milena is lowering her head and playing with her finger nails in the first place. She fiercely raises her
head after being questioned by Jenny and snorts coldly, “Hmph, no wonder I felt familiar just now. Isn’t
this the one who’s been popular lately? What? You’re here to teach me a lesson even as a walk-on
actress?”
“Not to teach you a lesson, I just don’t agree that you bring your personal emotions to your work. What
if something bad happens to that girl on this cold weather? Can we finish the shooting once so that we
all can rest well?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“Are you helping someone out?” Milena curls her lips and sneers, “Isn’t it just that you have Luke
supporting you? Are you capable of entering the Lu’s family? What are you so proud of?”
Jenny frowns fiercely.
Is it impossible to persuade these kinds of people? Why does she need to talk about something else
when they are talking about acting?
“You don’t understand how to be a good actor. Please act the scene professionally.”
Jenny does not want to talk nonsense with her anymore. She is pulled back by Cecelia to the scene to
wait for the reshoot after he picks up her green scarf.
“What’s the point of talking to her?”
“I just can’t tolerate her. Can’t you see the little girl is freezing to death?” Jenny pulls down the scarf
that have just been tied around her neck, showing a face of indignation.
Is she playing a joke with the risk of others’ life?
“Believe it or not, after you say so, it will make the little girl even more unfortunate. I think Milena
wanted to act the scene obediently just now before you arguing with her. Aren’t you making trouble
now?”
Cecelia pushes the spectacles on his nose. He gives a towel to Jenny to wipe her face and sighs, “I’d
better ready to buy you something to eat. I guess our shooting for today is going to continue until late
night.”
It is still raining. The rain in early spring is most icy and piercing cold, which almost freezes people
when it hits their face.
Everything is just as Cecelia said, Milena makes the scene repeat over and over again. And she seems
enjoying it. She looks at Jenny as if she is provoking her. Her assistant holds up an umbrella for her
and gets her a cup of hot coffee. It seems like Milena wants to play with Jenny and waste her time.
If the weather is good, Jenny won’t mind wasting her time with Milena. But, the little girl who acts as the
substitute for Milena cannot afford to waste her time with Milena anymore. Her lips already turn blue
and she is so cold that she cannot say a single word.
Jenny wraps the little girl with some thick clothes inside her tent. She even brings a heater for the girl.
However, it is not very effective to warm her body as she falls into the cold water entirely just now.
“Miss. Jenny, thanks…thank you…I…I am better now…please ask the director….to start shooting…”
Jenny frowns and looks at the stubborn little girl. She becomes more irritated by Milena’s behavior.
Before the shooting starts. Jenny walks to Milena’s tent with an angry face and questions her, “Do you
have grudges with me or the little girl? We are all actresses. Why do you try to make others in trouble?
In this industry, no one can guarantee that you will be always popular. So why do you hold a grudge
against others?”
Milena is holding a cup of Starbucks coffee. She is surrounded by several makeup artists to reapply her
makeup and wipe the rain off her face. She sneers and looks at Jenny, “Do you think you’re the
heroine? I don’t intend to hold a grudge against anyone. It’s just I’m not feeling well for today’s shooting
and I’m really sorry to you guys…”
“You…”
“Splash…” The cup of coffee in Milena’s hands falls on the ground, spilling all over Jenny, “Ah, I’m
really sorry. It’s too cold today. My hands are trembling…”
Jenny takes a step backward and let Cecelia clean her clothes quickly. She stares at Milena with cold
eyes until Milena feels threatened, “I’m warning you, you better act your part smoothly in the shooting
session later. If there is any problem in the last scene, I’ll let you try what it’s like to fall into the water.”
Milena seems to turn a deaf ear to Jenny’s words. The last scene still takes a lot of time to shoot. But
all the results are not good, which makes all the walk-on artists start to feel impatient.
Jenny frowns and runs to the director to whisper a few words. The director frowns and looks at her,
“Let’s try?”
“Reeva falls into the lake. The twenty-third take. Action.”
After the director shouts “Action”, the cameraman first gives Milena a close-up take, then slowly turns
the camera to her sister-in-law who is chasing after her in the distance. While Milena is running to the
lakeside, she looks at the woman who chase after her. When she sees Jenny, her facial expression
changes dramatically.
“What are you doing here? How come it is you?”
The screenwriter is checking the lines of the script from a distance, “Wait, her words don’t match with
the script…”
Jenny immediately shows her a fierce look. She approaches Milena angrily, “Why can’t it be me? Why
are you trying to commit suicide? Do you really think that you are my husband’s treasure? If you want
to die, you’d better get out of my sight, such a jinx…”
Milena is really terrified. She walks many steps backward to the lakeside. Before she asks the director
for his help, Jenny quickly pushes her into the lake without hesitation.
After she falls into the lake with a “Splash” sound. It is the third scene in which there are five or six
village girls pass by the place and they run to the lakeside to save Reeva.
“Cut…” the director shouts, “Nice take, it is a wrap.”
Jenny stands at the side, covering her mouth while laughing.
Milena’s head is covered with water plants. She is dripping wet and looking like a mess. She points at
Jenny for a long time while trembling her lips, and finally stomps her foot, “Director, why didn’t you tell
me about the sudden replacement? I thought you had promised me that you will use my substitute for
the scene?”
Director Wang glances at her and explains, “Milena, the substitute is just fainted just now. She is
resting inside the studio. The appearance of Jenny is to make you surprised and isn’t it helping you in
your acting just now? The performance you gave just now is perfect.”
Milena looks dumb and cannot say anything, making everyone on the scene trying so hard to hold their
laughter.
There is one more scene afterwards, for Milena herself. She is sitting at the lakeside and crying. Jenny
gives the actresses around her a handful of melon seeds while watching Milena acting. They even give
advice to the director while watching her with fun.
Director Wang is Jenny’s mentor. The movie that gets her the Golden Bear Award is also directed by
Director Wang. At that time, director Wang is so impressed that he asks her to act for his movie again.
However, Milena keeps on giving him trouble. He doesn’t expect that Jenny help him out this time.
