Chapter 259
On the other hand, Sheela was used to it. After all, she was an actress, and being filmed was part of her job.
The behind-the-
scenes director chuckled, "Ladies, go ahead." With that, he moved a little farther away but continued filming them.
It couldn't be helped; it was just too beautiful. One was a beauty queen, and the other was a screenwriter whose looks rivaled that of a movie star. Surely such a scene couldn't be captured anywhere else but this set. Just then, an unpleasant voice interrupted them. "Sheela, what are you doing here? Come over and rehearse your scene with Sam."
Sam Salter was the male lead of the show, a fellow artist from Sheela's company. The voice belonged to their mutual
As of now, Paisley was mostly satisfied with the cast, with one exception: Sam. He wasn't the actor Paisley and Cary originally wanted for the role. Instead, he was bundled with Sheela by her company.
manager.
The message was simple: if they wanted Sheela for the lead, they had to take Sam as the male lead. Otherwise, no deal. In other words, they were using Sheela's popularity and box- office pull to boost Sam's career.
Gary was so eager to have Sheela that he had no choice but to agree. This was already the second show where Sheela had to carry Sam. The company continued to market them together, not caring at all about the backlash from Sam's fans. Paisley had done most of her homework on the cast before the contract was signed, so she already knew about this. Therefore, she wasn't fond of the manager or the male lead.
But she didn't say anything, since her only condition before signing was that Brittany wouldn't be cast in the show. Other casting decisions were left to the director and producer. "Didn't you already rehearse the scene? Why do you need to do it again?" Paisley didn't
bother to spare the manager's feelings and directly asked.
The manager
looked at Paisley with an unpleasant expression, then ignored her and continued speaking to Sheela, "Hurry up, don't keep Sam waiting"
Standing behind the manager, Sam looked over at them with a dismissive sneer. Sheela tightened her grip on the script, giving Paisley an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Ms. Vaire, I'll go now." Paisley didn't want to make things too awkward for Sheela, so she nodded. "Okay, go ahead. If you need anything, just ask me With that, she handed Sheela her business card. Sheela gladly accepted the card and, under her manager's urging, walked toward Sam.
Sam glanced at Paisley and sneered, "What's there to rehearse for a crappy script?"
The manager patted Sam on the shoulder. "Don't say that. If you perform well, you'll definitely blow up when it airs."
Sam grumbled, totally acting like the king of the world, and said to his assistant, "Go get some snacks. Put it on my tab. I'll treat the whole crew?
Laity walked over with a playful
expression, watching Sheela leave, and asked, "You'd think with Sheela being a top-tier celebrity, how could her agent treat her like this? She doesn't seem to respect her at all?
"Mind your own business? Paisley withdrew her gaze and went back to reading her script.
"Fine" Lucy posted in response, then turned around to see a crew member, who had somehow appeared behind Paisley, staring at her intently. "What are you looking at?" Lucy frowned and asked.
Paisley heard the voice and turned around, spotting a man in the crew uniform. "Do you need something?"
The man quickly waved his hands, looking a little awkward. "No, nothing. I am just passing by." After speaking, the man. hurriedly ran off.
Lucy walked up to Paisley and said,
"That guy was definitely staring because you're so pretty!" This kind of thing happened often, so Lucy wasn't surprised anymore.
Paisley ignored her and continued reading the script. After a while, it became noisy outside the studio.
Gary, who was filming, lifted his head from the monitor, annoyed. "What's going on outside?"
The staff member who went to check quickly returned. "A few food trucks are parked outside, saying they're treating the whole crew to dinner."noveldrama
