And it was also because of James that she had taken up this film project.
However, the beau that she fancied had turned into a servant when he was around Daisie. Thus, how
could she not feel annoyed by that?
Her assistant saw something was wrong with her and asked, “Susan, is everything alright?”
“Daisie Vanderbilt just won the Best Actress award, didn‘t she? What‘s there to be proud of? Even my
Prince Charming is following her around like a pet willingly. Who the heck would show her this much
respect if she were not the daughter of the Goldmanns?” Susan was so infuriated that she could not
even go through the script by herself.
The assistant was helpless. “She‘s born with a silver spoon, so we can‘t just make a one–to–one
comparison between her and us, can we? Besides , James and Daisie are both from the upper class,
so isn‘t it normal that they can get along better?”
Susan glared at her. “So are you saying that Daisie is a good match for my Prince Charming?”
The assistant quickly waved. “That‘s not what I meant.”
Susan snorted as her gaze was fixed in their direction.” Daisie Vanderbilt , just you wait! I‘ll surely turn
your life into a living hell!”
At that moment, God seemed to have presented her with an opportunity as she saw James ordering a
cup of coffee from a café nearby.
The waiter delivered the coffee to the crew, placed it next to James‘ folding chair, and left.
Susan thought of something, and a glimmer of smugness flashed across her eyes.
He must‘ve bought that for Daisie. Even God is on my side today.‘
The crew was about to start filming. Today‘s scene was the storyline where the female lead, played by
Daisie, and the second male lead encountered assassins in a restaurant.
The drama was a conspiracy thriller. Because of the identity setting of the male and female leads, the
romance between both the leads was quite obscure, and there was almost no intimate kiss scene.
The male lead was the master of the assassin organization that adopted the female lead. He was also
conspiring to overthrow the prince of the kingdom. The fact that the organization adopted the female
lead made him her nominal foster father, so he taught her martial arts and even used her to get himself
closer to the authorities in order to get his hands on confidential information.
However, later in the script, he developed feelings for the female lead, making him a very contradictory
and complicated role.
On the contrary, the second male lead was the son of a nobleman in Yennesse, a wild but loyal
bohemian. He and the female lead became friends in adversity and finally became each other‘s
confidants.
After all, the female lead shared more scenes with the second male lead than the male lead in the
original novel.
Even though the male lead took the throne and became emperor in the end, he still parted ways with
the female lead because they disagreed with each other over their ideologies, and the second male
lead was the one who accompanied her as she went into the mountains.
In this script, in addition to the heavy emotions between the male and female leads, it also showcased
the trickeries, strategies, calculations, the love and hate relationship that entangled the characters, and
the friendship that was formed through thick and thin.
The director sat in front of the monitor, the on–site camera equipment was all ready, and the filming
started officially. The actors who played the assassins hung themselves on wires, dashed on the
eaves, jumped over the walls, and landed in the inn.
Daisie had plenty of experience and moved around the scene smoothly during the fighting scenes.
“Cut!” Suddenly, the director shouted, stood up, and picked up the loudspeaker. “James, you entered
the frame a little too early. We‘ll retake the whole scene.”
James redid it, but after repeating it three or four times, the director could no longer stand it. “James,
what in the world is wrong with you?”
Daisie turned her head and saw that James‘ expression did not look too great, so she stepped forward
and asked, “Hey, are you okay?”
The director noticed something was wrong too and got up from his seat. “What‘s going on?”
James covered his stomach and held his breath. “Director, my stomach hurts. I can‘t hold it in any
longer!”
He then sprinted toward the restroom immediately.
Everyone present exchanged gazes. The director covered his forehead as he was at a loss for words.
He cast James only because he felt that the role setting of the second male lead was similar to that of
James. He did not expect this to happen during the first shoot–he was too careless with his casting!
However, after James went to the restroom, he went back
in another two to three times. When he came out of the restroom, he looked all feeble, and his facial
complexion was extremely pale.
The director asked the staff to help him out of the studio to grab some rest. But in order to catch up with
the progress, they went on to film the other scenes that only had the female lead first.
