Love Of A Billionaire

Chapter 35

Chapter 35 The Elegance of the Movie Queen

The next morning, after Allen left, seeing the car in the distance, Luna told Arya about the yesterday’s call from Daniel. “Do you want to return his call?”

“No.” Arya rejected coldly. She looked at the script then continued, “It’s about time he had a taste of his own medicine to be ignored.”

“It is said Caroline applied for leave. I heard Directing Team has already removed her from the lead and replace her for the supporting role. You just need to do your best and I’ll handle the rest.”

“Okay, Luna, sorry for the trouble, you’ve been working so much. What time do we start filming?”

“At nine, we’ll go together.”

By the time Arya arrived at the studio, the crew already had everything prepared. There seems to be a lot more artists in the studio today. Arya were to act the second and third scenes with male lead.

“Jacob will be playing the male lead. He’s a celebrity under contract with Twin Suns. He’s never risen to stardom.” Luna whispered.

“Mm, right.” Arya did not greet him. She doesn’t let her personal feelings interfere with her work, regardless whether the person she is working with is a veteran or newbie, work was work. To her, they were the same.

Assistant Director looked at today’s script and walked towards Arya. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Today’s scene is a bit difficult, after the crying scene, we will go directly to the memories of the past. In the memory scene, the male lead and you were still a couple. Can you grasp such emotion?”

Even though Assistant Director is aware of Arya’s brilliant acting, he couldn’t help but still feel a bit anxious.

“Sure.” Arya read the script ahead of time and understood the emotions required for today’s scene.

Assistant Director nodded and went over to Jacob. After checking with all other departments, they started filming.

When the other actors went into the scene, Arya followed behind while holding her skirt. Unlike the previous scene, this scene required intense energy. As soon as she saw the male lead, she needed to sob, a sad but reluctant cry.

Director Brown and Assistant Director anxiously waited for Arya’s performance while sitting in front of the screen.

“No!”

Arya shouted weakly and was in character, guiding the rhythm of the whole act. She tiptoed towards the male lead, expression she wanted to get close to him yet hesitating to do so.

All the actors and crew who were watching the scene play out were in awe by Arya’s breathtaking performance. No one expected she could burst into tears at the exact moment when her emotion reached its peak.

“You …” Jacob stepped forward. His acting was only sufficed.

Arya knelt on the floor and bawled uncontrollably. The director raised his hand and the camera focused on Arya’s profile. From her eyes down to her chin, every expression was perfectly interpreted by her.

When the director shouted out “Cut!”, everyone was overwhelmed by the scene.

“No wonder Arya was awarded the best actress, aka the movie queen. That was amazing!”

“I think for her to portray the female lead is an understatement. This movie of ours will definitely be a blockbuster.”

Luna, standing on the side, clasped her hands. “Thank goodness, Arya had returned!”

Back then, when Arya announced that she would be retiring from making another movie, the person whom was most devastated was Luna. She knew better than anyone how much effort Arya put in to achieve today’s performance. Apart from her natural talent, the hard work and criticism she had to overcome was not something an ordinary person can endure.

At her peak of being most popular, she chose to keep herself hidden. The decision was a loss to the entertainment industry. With her beauty and acting skills, she definitely had the qualifications to be internationally recognized.

Arya was able to be in and out character very quickly. She returned to her original self and walked to the director. Looking at the screen, she said, “The scene we did just now, do you need to take another shot form different angle?”

After all, this movie was indeed a challenge to film and act.

Director Brown had admiration for Arya, but as he looked at the screen, he hesitated, “if we were to film another take on the left side, can you ensure you can replicate your actions to perfection? This would be extremely difficult.”

To act a crying scene wasn’t difficult but to replicate the crying scene over and over again was definitely the greatest test for any actor.

Arya thought for a moment before nodding firmly. “Yes, I would like to try, let’s do another take.”

Assistant Director was surprised, then shouted, “Everyone, let’s do another take, get ready!”

This is the demeanor of a true professional actor. She was prepared to do everything in her power to accommodate the director’s requirement for the scenes. Most importantly, Arya had the ability to perform flawlessly.
