Chapter 1522 Just Get in the Car
“Alright, let’s do it again.” Vincent signaled for everyone to get ready with a wave of his hand. At Vincent’s command, Jessie’s eyes immediately took on a panic-stricken expression as Julian grabbed her throat in one hand. In the actual scene, the female protagonist would be pulled into the male protagonist’s grasp by a powerful force created by the latter. During the filming of the scene, however, Jessie had to throw herself at Julian for the latter to kiss her. No sooner had she come to the man and spoken her lines than the latter found the right angle, bent down, and pressed his thin lips to her pink ones.
Vincent was dissatisfied with the take, though. “Cut! It’s not emotional enough. You were too gentle, Julian; you weren’t manly enough.” Julian grunted, “I’m not manly enough?”
Vincent laughed at once. “What are you thinking about? I’m talking about the take!” Upon hearing this, Jessie, who had barely stopped laughing just now, instantly fell over laughing again.
Julian looked askance at her. How dare this little girl laugh at me? It was said that the set of a film was often filled with merriment, and now the filming was indeed so merry that everyone couldn’t stop laughing.
They then did several more takes of the scene, where Jessie got kissed by Julian again and again because Vincent was fussy about either the angle of the filming or the actors’ emotions. As a result, Jessie and Julian ended up having to kiss a total of 15 times in this scene. When they eventually moved on to the next scene, Jessie finally understood how difficult it was to do kissing scenes.
The filming lasted from noon to the afternoon. In her dressing room, Jessie looked at herself in the mirror. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but her lips felt kind of swollen from the kisses.
Meanwhile, in another dressing room, Julian downed one bottle after another of iced water. After he swilled God knew how many bottled drinks in a row, Bethany, his assistant who was looking on, became worried that he might’ve caught a cold.
Jessie then went to another set to get ready for her next scene, whereas Julian never came out of his dressing room.
Meanwhile, Eva was also doing her filming in another location. Her character’s role was to be the Demon Lord’s strategist, so she had to film a lot of scenes on her own.
At this moment, a gracefully handsome and slender figure was sitting in the shade of a tree where Eva was doing her filming. Louie had just arrived, but his presence instantly made everyone on the filming set—the mood of which had been cheerful at first—so nervous and fearful that they dared not even smile.
Moreover, one of the male actors found himself in an even more dreadful predicament: he was supposed to take Eva’s hand and drag her out of the scene. The first time he took her hand, they were stopped by the director, so he had no choice but to do another take of the scene. At this moment, Louie came over and stared at him with folded arms, his handsome face sullen as hell. As soon as the actor took Eva’s hand, he sensed a death stare. As a member of the film crew, how could he not know that this president of the Gilmore Corporation was after Eva?
Ronnie, the assistant director, was clueless about what was going on. “Cut! What are you doing? You were dragging her to the wrong side of the scene! You’re supposed to drag her to this side! Let’s do it again.”
Eva noticed that the actor playing opposite her was suffering from nerves. Knowing who was the cause of this, she walked straight up to Louie, saying, “Can you get in the car and take a break instead of coming over and interfering with our filming?”
“When did I ever interfere with your filming? I didn’t even say a word,” Louie argued somewhat sulkily.
“Just get in the car,” Eva said, chasing him away in an almost authoritative tone.
Everyone was on edge upon hearing this, fearing that Louie might get angry. To their great surprise, he merely turned around and left. At the sight of this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Seems like Eva is currently the only woman who can keep him under her thumb.
Rumor had it that Louie had fallen for Eva when the latter signed up for showbiz at the age of 20. He had courted her for three years, during which time she had a boyfriend. After her boyfriend passed away in a car accident, he spent two more years waiting for her. Now she was 26 years old, whereas he was already 32. Such a relationship was really rare in this industry, which was full of temptations and all sorts of beauties; but it was even rarer for someone to love a woman as unwaveringly as Louie did.
After Eva was done filming the scene, she and Linda went to the RV to take a break, upon which Louie strode out of the four-wheel drive next to it. Knowing what to do in such situations, Linda cleverly excused herself and left at once.
