Chapter 93 She Had Brought It Upon Herself
None of the film crew liked Shandie.
She had brought this upon herself.
Still, if they had kicked the female lead out, who will take over her place?
Both Jerry and Sam were caught in a dilemma.
The female lead of the movie was a young girl in her twenties who had just graduated from the police academy. Most of the experienced actresses in the entertainment industry were in their thirties.
Nowadays, it was rare for veteran actresses to take up young roles, so the crew had initially auditioned actresses in their twenties. After the news of Shandie being accepted for the role using her connections went viral in the industry, no one would want to replace her.
The film had begun shooting. It was hard to get a suitable replacement whose schedule was empty on such short notice even if they used Sam’s name.
Right then, a face that resembled the original character in the comic popped up in Sam’s mind.
His eyes lit up. “I have someone in mind!”
He dashed out of the set immediately.
“Hey, Mr. Sleight! Who are you talking about?” Jerry ran out after him.
That was the first time he had ever seen Sam sprinting this quickly.
Outside, Arielle was about to get into Vinson’s car when Shandie’s voice rang out from behind. “Arielle! Wait up!”
When Arielle’s head jerked around subconsciously, she saw Shandie sobbing sadly. “Arielle, it was all my fault. Can you please tell Mr. Nightshire not to pin the blame on our family?”
Arielle scanned Shandie carefully and realized the latter’s gaze was full of hatred though tears were streaming out of her eyes.
Snickering inwardly, she thought, Look at how bad her acting skills are. She isn’t fit to be the female lead.
Putting on a helpless expression, she uttered, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. Mr. Nightshire won’t change his mind easily. You can get mad at me, but why did you throw his name card onto the ground right in front of him? Also, I wanted to give this name card to Dad. How could you take it away from me?”
“You—” Shandie was at a loss for words. Her heart was simmering in resentment, but she couldn’t vent her frustrations right now.
At this point, she had no choice but to bow down to Arielle.
She was prepared to get on her knees to beg for Arielle’s help when someone rushed past her.
She blinked twice and saw Sam standing in front of them, panting heavily. The director seemed like he wanted to say something, but couldn’t do so as he was short of breath. Hence, he bent down slightly and took deep breaths.
Huh? What is he doing? Oh, has he regretted kicking me out? Is he here to beg me to resume shooting?
The most important thing right now is to resume shooting. If I’m still the female lead, Henrick might forgive me this once.
I’ll become a popular celebrity after the film’s release. By then, I can earn more than the profit that my family is set to earn from the deal they struck up with Nightshire Group.
Ha! I don’t have to beg for Arielle’s help, then!
Shandie grew increasingly excited. As Sam was rude to her earlier, she decided to insult him before agreeing to return. I must make him beg for my return!
Ignoring Arielle, she turned to Sam and announced arrogantly, “Look at how anxious you are. You’re only realizing your mistake now? Let me warn you. I won’t agree to return easily! You need to visit my house and apologize sincerely before I agree to forgive you and resume shooting. Besides that, everyone on the film crew needs to listen to my instructions, get it?”
