Chapter 820


    This was Cooper’s request. The director didn’t know who he was so he turned to look at Michael.


    Cooper came with Michael and Michael seems to treat him with great respect…


    Michael was helpless. It seems that Cooper is very opposed to letting Carmen act in movies. He


    definitely doesn’t want her to finish acting the second scene so smoothly. Moreover, Carmen needs to


    experience the hard work that goes into acting in order to make a better choice.


    Michael had no choice but to agree. “Okay, Mr. Mitchell. Whatever you say.”


    The director immediately started to find faults at the beginning of the second scene.


    “Cut! The flower dropped! Let’s do this again!”


    “Cut! Your gaze did not express the character’s feelings! Start over!”


    “Where are your emotions? You have to show your emotions! Again!”


    There was a series of cuts the whole morning and the director found fault with almost everything.


    Everyone on set was tired and listless, and it was not until the crew put out lunch at noon that everyone


    dispersed and had a rest.


    Carmen was sad and emotional. She sat on Cooper’sps and buried her head in his chest, not saying a


    word.


    Holding her in his arms, Cooper coaxed her. “That’s how acting works. There will always be a lot of


    retakes. If the shot doesn’t look good, you have to start over again and again. It’s not fun at all. After you


    finish shooting in the afternoon, let’s go home and you can inherit my farm. It’s full of fluffy sheep and you


    can have as many of them as you want. Or, you can learn how to build robots from Uncle Linus!”


    Carmen was too sad to speak. She pursed her lips and tears welled up in her eyes, but she held back


    her tears firmly. Cooper had scared her with words like ‘that’s how acting works’ and tried to lure her with


    words like ‘inherit my farm’ to persuade Carmen to leave. However, Carmen wouldn’t leave. At noon, she


    even stubbornly ate a big bowl of lunch and braced herself to prepare for the afternoon shoot.


    Michael and Sophia stood at the side and both of them felt speechless. Sophia couldn’t help but roll her


    eyes. Cooper really doesn’t want Carmen to act in movies!


    Sophia thought that whether or not Carmen inherited the family business was not important because all


    she wanted was for her to be happy. If she really likes acting, as her mother, I’ll naturally support her


    decision.


    After Carmen finished eating, she drank some water and looked up at her father.


    Michael looked like Mn today, and he was even going to sing a verse from the movie itself. In order to


    apany Carmen, he really did everything he could and was willing to be in the background for her.


    With his female character’s makeup and clothing, Michael looked really beautiful. If he didn’t speak,


    Sophia wouldn’t be able to tell that he was a man.


    “Daddy…” Carmen looked at him innocently. Seeing this, Michael squatted down and his face full of


    makeup was filled with tenderness as he said, “Darling, what’s the matter?”


    Carmen buried her face in Michael’s arms. Looking shy, she stuttered for a long time before she finally


    came up with a full sentence. “I want to hear you sing opera…”


    This was also the wish of everyone on set!


    When Michael came out in a dress a moment ago and everyone heard the sound of his heightened voice


    and saw the way he swayed his body, they didn’t want to shoot the scene anymore. All they wanted to do


    was watch him sing opera.


    In order to strive for perfection and for the scene to look realistic, Michael’s makeup was impable, a


    stage was set up, and they even hired a troupe to act with him. Everything was in ce and all they


    needed was an opera singer.


    There was also a glint of hope in Sophia’s eyes.


    She had watched all of Michael’s movies and two of them had scenes of him singing opera, which was


    rumored that he sang them himself. He had also sung a little just now, but they were intermittent and not


    complete.


    His fans always said that he was born with a great voice. They admired him because not only did he


    know how to act, but he was also good at singing opera.


    Sohpia looked at Michael in anticipation.


    Under everyone’s excited gaze, Michael stretched out his slender figure and poked Carmen’s adorable


    small cheeks as he softly said, “Okay. If my darling wants to see me sing, I’ll sing! However, once I finish


    singing, you can’t be sad anymore!”


    Carmen nodded and looked excited.


    Taylor Murray is about to sing opera!


    Everyone immediately swarmed over. Because of Michael’s visit, they were under heavy security and


    fortunately, his whereabouts had not been leaked. Apart from a dozen extras and the crew members on


    set, there were no other people. Everyone soon gathered under the stage and waited for Michael to sing.


    The set was set up ording to the actual street corner from history using high quality props. Sophia sat


    among a group of extras and she felt as if she had travelled back in time to a hundred years ago, which


    was a strange feeling. She found the best seat and waited for Michael to sing.


    The apaniment began and Michael started singing live.


    His singing was graceful and pleasant to the ears. Moreover, he sang professionally and was different


    from the countertenor singers who sang weirdly on the Inte. His voice was very imposing, and he


    sang high and low notes in one breath. Listening to him sing was like hearing the rain fall on the ground.


    It was beautiful and full of personality.


    After singing the first paragraph of the song, there was already a round of apuse and cheers from the


    audience. Sophia was also pping happily and Carmen excitedly gave her father some flowers.


    Only Cooper’s face was as dark as night.


    This b*stard. Now that he knows his family background and power are not as great as mine and it’s


    useless to attract Sophia with money, he turns to seduction.


    Ever since he was young, I already knew that this b*stard would be really good at seducing girls.

    Now, as expected, Michael knows a lot of seducing methods. My cute and pure daughter won’t be a


    match for him!


    Meanwhile, at that moment, Sophia’s eyes were focused on Michael.


    The twinkle in his eyes and his charming smile is a piece of art. Every word he sings sounds beautiful…


    It would be great to listen to him sing for the rest of my life!


    Michael continued to sing seriously, and coincidentally, this was Sophia’s favorite piece. In his eyes,


    everyone else didn’t exist and he could only see her. His singing was meant for her, and only her.


    After having her father cheer her up, Carmen looked much more energetic in the afternoon. She braced


    herself and told herself that she needed to act well.


    Even if it’s only a few shots, I want to give it my all.


    However, the director continued yelling cut, pointing out little problems every time. He kept asking


    everyone to do everything over and over again, and in the end, Carmen was so tired that she started


    dozing off when standing.


    Michael couldn’t bear to see her like this so he spoke to the director. “This is Carmen’s first shoot. Don’t


    go so hard on her.”


    Since Michael already spoke up, the director naturally had to go easy on her. In fact, the front few shoots


    were done well. In the end, they shot one more time and ended the filming.


    When Cooper saw that his granddaughter was not willing to give up even though she was exhausted, he


    felt distressed and angry. However, he finallypromised.


    The first day ended perfectly. After Michael took off his makeup and changed his clothes, he took


    Carmen from Cooper’s arms, carried her into the car, and went to the hotel they were staying at to have


    dinner.


    Sophia followed behind with Bubbles and asked, “Darling, filming is tiring. If you want to have an acting


    career, every day will be like this!”


    Carmen was drowsy and she rubbed her eyes. She couldn’t open her eyes but she still pouted in


    response.


    She wanted to be in movies but she was afraid of being tired. However, when she remembered that she


    didn’t have money for her kindergarten tuition fees, that Judge’s dog food for the next month had not


    been paid, and that the other dogs at home were waiting for her to feed them, she made a decision and


    determinedly said, “No, I want to continue acting!


    No matter how tiring it is, I want to continue! Daddy has been working hard for many years. I want to


    continue acting and earn a lot of money to take care of daddy!”
