Chapter 107
Eileen was caught up by Egbert at the elevator entrance.
He was silent at first, but Eileen couldn’t help turning around and asking Egbert, “Is that woman nuts or what?”
Egbert nodded patiently and said, “Yep, she’s a piece of work.”
Eileen realized Egbert was on her side. Their friendship didn’t break because of this woman, and she felt a bit relieved.
The next day was the official shooting day.
Eileen didn’t have any scenes in the morning, but she still tagged along to the shooting location. The shooting location was in an old university in the city.
Egbert played a youthful role, sitting in the last row of the classroom, reading a book.
There were some extras portraying classmates sitting around him, and they were discussing the tragic car accident that had claimed the life of the school’s prom queen, Hertha.
Eileen had seen this movie before. She knew it was a crime film with many twists and turn.
Hertha’s fake death.
and based on realistic themes. And all the tragedies began with
Egbert was shooting under such simple conditions, so he probably wouldn’t feel any pressure.
After a while, there was a “click” sound. Galen, with a megaphone, made an OK sign to Egbert in the classroom, saying, “OK, let’s shoot the next scene!”
The crew started busily changing the scene.
The whole morning was almost all Egbert’s personal scenes. Not until the afternoon did the role of the supporting female lead, Joyce, played by Eileen, have a chance to appear.
Eileen wore a plaid long skirt and white leather shoes, which young girls of that era loved to wear. When she came out of the dressing room, she heard Galen outside calling her, “Eileen, you…”
Halfway through, Galen’s voice suddenly stopped. Then he chuckled, “You changed your clothes. Now you look like a proper lady.”
Eileen walked towards Galen. Egbert, who was standing next to Galen, also lifted his head. He was wearing a white shirt, his hair naturally falling on his head. He
looked at Eileen approaching, with a smile in his eyes.
The makeup artist put on a youthful makeup for Eileen. According to the character setting, the supporting female lead at this age was a bit plain and extremely shy. Galen explained the plot of the next scene to them. At this time, Teresa, who had been on the side, slowly walked over.
Teresa began by saying, “Galen, you’re talking too fast. She’s a newbie. You need to consider if she can understand.”
Eileen was a bit impatient with Teresa’s attitude. She blurted out, “Are you talking about me? Of course, I understand. Unlike some people who haven’t received basic education. If you don’t understand, let me know. I can teach you some basics when I have time.”
“You…”
“Alright, you guys stop arguing!” Galen was feeling a bit of a headache, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s get ready to shoot.”
Eileen turned and walked into the classroom.
Before the shooting, Teresa sat next to Galen angrily and said, “Just watch, I don’t know how many times we’ll have to reshoot.”
Five minutes later.
Galen waved his hand and shouted with a loudspeaker, “Okay, get ready for the next shot.”
In the following days, they were shooting the school scenes. It wasn’t until a week later that they started to shoot the plot ten years later.
Joyce met Palmer at a class reunion. She heard people talking, saying Palmer was still single. The young heart throbs began to quietly emerge in her heart. Palmer had drunk a lot. After the party, Joyce was very worried about him. Seeing that he didn’t take a taxi, she followed him all the way, until they reached a street corner. When Joyce caught up, she found Palmer waiting for her on the other side of the corner.
Her beautiful face showed panic. The man under the street light stared at her with cold eyes, filled with displeasure and alertness.
Joyce even began to stutter, “I… I’m also… on my way…” She tried to explain, but her palms were already sweating.
Palmer glanced at her lightly and turned to leave. At this moment, Joyce suddenly plucked up her courage, bit her lip, and asked, “Do… do you have a girlfriend…”
The man turned his head, looking at her coldly.
Joyce knew that if she didn’t say it now, she might never have the chance to say it again. She clenched her fist, raised her head, and nervously asked, “What… what do you think of… me?”
“Average. The man finished and left without looking back.
Joyce gritted her teeth, took out a paper and pen from her backpack, and wrote down her phone number. She quickly ran up, sneaked the phone number into Palmer’s coat pocket, and ran away without looking back.
Three days later, Joyce really received a call from Palmer.
There were no lights in the room. The man pinned the woman against the door, one hand amund her waist, the other hand grabbing the back of her neck. In a near-rude way, he forced her to lift her head, kissing her soft, sweet lips over and over again.
Joyce tasted the wine from Palmer’s mouth. She knew he had been drinking again today. He called her out, maybe just a moment of impulse, but… Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Cut.” Galen shouted at this moment.
In the quiet space, Eileen heard the rapid heartbeat. She couldn’t help but look up at Egbert’s chest. The sound was coming from his chest.
Elleen blinked and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. As she was about to speak, her head was suddenly pressed.
It was Egbert who did it. He pressed her face into his chest, blocking the view of outsiders.
They were closer now, which made Eileen hear Egbert’s heartbeat more clearly.
Eileen thought, gee, this guy was really useless. He was a well-known actor, but when they were performing these scenes, her heartbeat was even steadier than his.
At this moment, Galen spoke, “Egbert, your emotions are wrong. You need to act harder. Your feelings didn’t come out. I’ve told you, in this stage of the plot, your attitude towards Eileen should be rude. Let’s do it again, be a little ruthless.”
