Pristine and Liora, played by Eviette, had a master-servant relationship, but they got separated while fleeing from dozens of bandits: on their way to Kyoland.
Without money and identification, Pristine managed to enter Kyoland by relying on others’ charities. However, she collapsed on Aspen Street due to hunger, startling Jade’s horse and getting scolded by her. Mia loved this scene.
She had been looking for an opportunity to retaliate against Veronica and unexpectedly, the opportunity came. The three actors appeared on set and positioned themselves. The extras were also in place.
Sam knew that Veronica was a rookie, hence she approached her and said, “When Jade rides the horse over and reaches this position, you collapse on the ground, Pristine. Jade will whip you, and when you wake up, you confront her. You provoke Jade, and she will express her will to kill you. At this moment, Liora appears to save you.”
In ‘The General’s Lonely Daughter’, Mia played the second female lead, Jade, who was hot- tempered and arrogant. She was also the main antagonist in the drama.
The director didn’t forget to reassure Veronica, “When she whips you later, she’ll do it according to our agreed position. We’ve already discussed it with her, so don’t worry too much about it.” Veronica listened attentively to Sam’s directions and nodded. “Okay. I understand.”
The director made an ‘OK’ gesture, turned around, and sat down in front of the camera while shouting through the megaphone, “Alright, actors, take your positions.”
The production assistant walked to the front of the camera and clapped the slate. “Scene 7, take 1, action.”
“Giddy up! Giddy-
Mia rode on the horse prop and whipped it while passing through the pedestrians on the street. As she got closer, Veronica secretly breathed at long sigh. At this moment, a shot directly. zoomed in on her face.
Veronica immediately adjusted her state, raised her hand to cover her dizzy head, took a few steps forward, and saw Mia and the prop getting closer. Then, she fell to her right.
At the moment Veronica fell, Mia, who was sitting on the horse prop, paused for a moment. Her body suddenly leaned back, perfectly presenting the state of the horse being startled and neighing.
‘D’mn it! Where did you come from, despicable human? How dare you startle my horse?!” Mia raised the whip in her hand and pointed it at Veronica, who was ‘unconscious’, while cursing. When she saw no response, she raised the whip and struck the latter’s back.
Slap! The whip cut through the air, making a sharp noise. It should have been whipped on the ground, but it unexpectedly hit Veronica’s back without missing a beat, causing her to tremble in pain.
However, the director didn’t stop them, so she could only continue the act. She painfully ‘regained consciousness, reached. out to cover her aching waist, and struggled to get up. “W-Who are you? How could you beat me?”
Mia looked down at her condescendingly. “You startled my horse. Besides, even if I kill you, it’s what you deserve.”
As soon as she finished her lines, the director shouted, “Alright, cut.”
Then, she got up and walked over with a wide grin on his face. “Hahaha, Mia Stuart, is it? I have to say, you played Jade Garcia very well. You captured her arrogance and haughtiness perfectly, which fits the character very well. Especially your facial expressions just now, they were spot on!”
Being praised by the director, Mia smiled gracefully and glanced at Veronica. A glimmer of light sparkled in her eyes. “Thank you for the compliment, but I think I might have gotten too much into my character. I couldn’t control myself and accidentally whipped the actress playing Pristine. I’m truly sorry for that.”
