Chapter 294


    Chapter 294


    Ste appeared calm andplying, but her heart was filled with debilitating sorrow.


    If she could really always get her way, she wouldn’t be here with Weston, practically imprisoned by


    him.


    Though Weston did not explicitly agree to let her act in the movie, she could guess from his actions that


    he would condone it, at least for the time being.


    The next morning, Ste got up and sent Weston off to work as usual. She then quickly got to the film


    set afterward.


    Because she’d dyed the filming progress yesterday, Bradley Lane was a little nasty when he saw


    hering


    “It was your first day yesterday and you’ve already asked for a leave,” he sneered. “That was pretty


    bold of you, don’t you think?”.


    “I’m so sorry,” Ste bowed humbly, feeling very guilty. “I really am! Something came up and I


    absolutely couldn’t make it here yesterday. I’m terribly sorry! I’ll try my best to catch up with the


    schedule from now on.”


    Bradley could tell that she was being sincere, so he didn’t say anything more about it and just waved


    her away.


    “The acting coach is over there,” he told her. “Go through your lines with him and once you’ve


    memorized most of them,e back to me. I’ll give you some directions.”


    “I’ve already memorized all of my lines, ” Ste quickly said.


    Bradley paused.


    “So you’vee prepared,” hemended.


    “I’ve already caused some dys yesterday,” she said with obvious guilt. “So I don’t want to waste any


    more of everyone’s time.”


    Bradley said nothing to that, merely adding, “Go on,e back to me once they’ve taught you the


    moves in your scene.”


    Ste nodded.


    She then found out that she would be working with the same acting coach as before. Since they were


    already familiar, the process went smoothly and swiftly. The cameras and the mise-en scene were


    already all set up too, only waiting for Ste and the actor to arrive.


    The other actor who would be acting in the same scene as Ste was a young actor of moderate


    poprity. He had been cast in numerous dramas and his acting skills were quite outstanding among


    his peers, but they were nothing to write home about whenpared to the seasoned veterans with


    more experience. He had never been interested in catching trends or getting involved in massively


    popr projects, so his poprity remained average.


    Still, he had the looks, talents, and connections, and with the will to work hard, he managed to build a


    strong fanbase and a respectable reputation in the entertainment circle for himself. For this reason,


    although he’d rarely taken on the male lead role or been very popr, directors were still eager to cast


    him in their films. Often, he would y the role of lovesick heartthrobs, and that was basically what he


    was known for now.


    “Hello, there!” Caspian greeted Ste with the same warmth and friendliness when they met on set,


    though she was an absolute neer and a nobody. “I’m your senior!”


    Caspian’s role in this period drama was that of Ste’s senior. Both ying disciples of the same


    martial arts master, they would share many scenes together. Later in the drama, Caspian’s character


    would fall in love with the heroine of the story and wouldpletely neglect Ste’s character no


    thanks to this infatuation. Towards the end, he even turned against Ste’s character because they


    eventually became enemies with the heroine.


    In Ste’s character’s eyes, Caspian’s character was nothing but a scumbag, but to Caspian’s


    character, he was only doing everything he could to protect the woman he loved. In the very end,


    though, Caspian’s character would turn evil because of his obsessive love for the female lead, just as


    Ste’s character would turn evil because of him. The only difference was that Ste’s character was


    much more skilled than him.


    These two were clearly simr people who should’ve gotten along well, but inevitable circumstances


    made them turn against each other, bringing about a tragic end. This would be Ste’s first time filming


    for real. She was more than a little nervous. So far, she had been practicing her lines alone, and with


    great effort, managed to ovee that awkwardness of having to act out a dramatic scene.


    But now she would be facing a real person. It did not feel as rxed as it did when she was rehearsing


    alone. They both went through their lines together once, and then Bradley shouted, “Action!”


    Ste took a deep breath, trying to get herself into character. “…I heard that Master just brought back


    his old disciple who went missing a long time ago! Shall we go take a look?” “Whatever for? Didn’t I tell


    you we’ll be practicing sword fighting near the mountainster?”

    Caspian’s acting skills were not bad, but they were far from inspiring. Now that he was working with a


    rookie like Ste, he couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed.
