Chapter: 445
As soon as Ariana entered the temporary filming site, she overheard Francis scolding someone through the intercom, "Can you even act? I specifically told you not to rush into the water like that! You're asking for trouble if you continue like this."
Ariana had a gut feeling that something was amiss, especially since only Tyler and Selene were needed for the water scenes. She inquired, "Who is acting in this scene?"
"It's Tyler." The assistant producer handed Ariana the script and explained, “Here, Gifford—tyler's role, and his gang purposely cornered Sheila—the heroine, in the swimming pool while she was practicing alone after school. He demanded that she should beg him to let her go. Sheila didn't like the idea, but the cold water was too much for her. So she pretended to have a cramp and sink. Gifford, who couldn't swim, panicked and jumped into the water to rescue her. However, Sheila pulled him down and stepped on him, nearly drowning him."
“Why are we filming this scene today when it's scheduled for next week?"
They were supposed to shoot the swimming scenes when the weather was warmer, but Ariana didn't anticipate that they would shoot them today. Who would want to be in a cold pool in such cold weather?
“Mr. Salazar thinks it's difficult to shoot and wants to do it earlier." The new assistant producer didn't recognize Ariana and revealed eagerly, "Actually, it's not too hard. Look, the heroine is resting by the pool for a long time. But Mr. Salazar didn't like Tyler's jump into the pool. He said his face and position weren't quite right. This is the twenty-third NG."
“Thank you for telling me."
Ariana approached the group with a stern expression. Tyler's face had turned pale from the cold water, but he had to climb out of the pool again at Francis’ request. It was clear that Francis was intentionally causing trouble for Tyler.
When Cole, who was watching from the side, saw Ariana, he purposely spoke up.
"It's not a big deal to be a bad actor for the first time. What's truly terrible is when someone is arrogant and ignores good advice. Do they think they're smarter than everyone else? Dozens of NGs in a single scene are dragging down the entire crew's progress. Will they ever feel guilty?"
“shut up! Who said you could act? You're a piece of shit. How dare a brainless idiot like you brag here? Even kindergarteners know the meaning of shameless better than you." Ariana got very mad and yelled at Cole.
Cole was enraged.
"Who the hell are you calling an idiot?"
"The person with the loudest voice is usually the biggest idiot," Ariana retorted with a cold glance, walking toward Tyler.
Cole couldn't contain his anger and grabbed Ariana’s hand, accidentally pushing her into the pool and creating a massive wave.
The swimming pool was deep and Ariana sank to the bottom instantly, leaving everyone bewildered, except for Tyler who was on the pool's edge and immediately jumped in to save the struggling person.
Francis, who was monitoring the scene, became thrilled at the sight and turned to the cameraman next to him, urgently asking, "Did you capture Tyler's heroic act on camera?"
The cameraman replied truthfully, "Yes."
Francis quickly checked the video and saw the concern and determination in Tyler's eyes as he leaped into the water to rescue Ariana. Francis couldn't help but feel pleased with the footage.
"That's it. This will be perfect."
