Chapter 36

After hearing her explanation, Lenwood looked a bit miffed, “So you’re saying you let the other actor

take the spotlight, not because you couldn’t deliver?” Eileen swallowed another mouthful of food, then

answered nonchalantly, “How could I not deliver? I didn’t even give it my all”

She didn’t even give it her all? What was the deal here?

Lenwood kept quiet for a moment, then let out a helpless sigh, “You sure know how to play humble.”

Eileen didn’t respond to his gripe, instead she turned around and handed her lunch box to the lady who

was serving her food, ‘Can I have some more, please?”

The lady, having been nagged by Eileen all day, grudgingly scooped up some for her Eileen thanked

her with several nods of satisfaction and continued

eating.

By two in the afternoon, all of today’s filming tasks were completed.

Lenwood sat in front of the monitor, watching Eileen on the screen, deep in thought. The screenwriter

beside him knew what he was thinking and whispered, “She’s actually really talented.

“I know, that’s why it’s such a shame.” Lenwood sighed, standing up from his chaw, I’m going to make

a call”

When Lenwood returned from his call, he announced that they would be adding more scenes.

Even though they finished early, they couldn’t clock out early because the studio rental was charged by

the day. Thrifty Lenwood wouldn’t waste that, so he decided on the spot to add ten more scenes.

Out of these ten, seven were for Eileen, considering her stable performance and fewer NG takes.

As the sets were already in place, these ten scenes were shot out of sequence, which meant a huge

leap in the storyline

Upon receiving the notice, Eileen glanced through her seven scenes and almost flipped out. Her

character was going through a massive transformation, from a young girl to a woman, and even a

pregnant woman in one scene.

The emotional transition required would be extremely complex, especially since she had to shoot it all

in one afternoon. Wasn’t this a bit too much?

But the director had already decided, so she had no choice nor to protest. So, Eileen had to rush to

memorize her lines for the next scenes, looking as harried as if she were being chased by a rabid dog.

Her frantic demeanor was a stark contrast to her calm and collected self in the morning.

Lenwood chuckled. “She’s finally taking it seriously”

The screenwriter was speechless, ‘You don’t need to take such delight in her distress.”

Lenwood just smiled, “It’s okay if we cant finish. These are just extra scenes anyway”

But to their surprise, by nine in the evening, all the scenes were actually completed.

Lenwood couldn’t help but praise, I feel like she still hasn’t reached her full potential.”

The screenwriter was dumbfounded and finally snapped, “She’s still young. Don’t be so hard on her!”

After a full day of shooting, Eileen, drained and numb, lined up to change her clothes.

At this point, almost all the actors were changing, and with the crowd coming and going, Eileen, seeing

no movement in the line. She finally couldn’t wait any longer and wandered off like a lost soul.

Bartley saw her retreating figure and called out, “Ms. Lopez, where are you going?”

Eileen didn’t hear him and walked out.

Bartley went to the door and saw that the direction Eileen was heading was not towards the public

changing rooms, he frowned, did she get lost?

“Ms. Lopez?” Bartley asked

After going around in circles, Eileen finally arrived next door. She stopped at Egbert’s dressing room

door, took out her key, inserted it, and turned the kn ob to open the door.

Inside the dressing room, Loule was chatting with

knock?”

Egbert. Hearing the noise, he was surprised and asked, “is your assistant here? Why didn’t they

Before Egbert could answer, the door swung open. Standing there was a girl dressed in costume,

holding a plastic bag in one hand and keeping the door

open with the other.

Loule didn’t know what to say, and Eileen remained silent.

Egbert sighed and stood up, “You go change first”

“Ms. Lopez” Outside, a clear male voice suddenly rang out.

Egbert was taken aback, then he saw a young man wearing the same style of costume, quickly

following her. He seemed to know Eileen well, grabbing her wrist and saying to her, “This isnt our set.

I’ll take you to the public changing rooms.” He then tried to lead Eileen away.

A dangerous gleam flashed in Egbert’s eyes, and he suddenly said, “Stop”
