Chapter: 101
“How is Francis doing? What exactly happened?” Jeremy pulled a long face as he talked to medical staff with the crew.
Only a week had passed since the filming of the show started. However, the director suddenly fell ill just because of careless mishandling of the food.
It was a such big-budget project. A huge economic loss to Yeez Entertainment would be inevitable if the shooting was delayed even for a day.
But now that the chief director couldn't do his role, it was a big predicament.
How could the filming ensue if no one knew how to direct the entire process?
Right now, the whole crew was in a state of total mess.
Everyone knew that Losing Francis even for a few days would be a heavy blow. They wouldn't be able to fully function without a chief director.
Meanwhile, thanks to the emergency treatment that the doctor had applied to Francis, he was still able to barely keep his consciousness.
As the medical staff prepared to transfer Francis to the ambulance, Jeremy finally asked the question that everyone was concerned about. Although he knew that Francis' health was of utmost concern, this matter needed to be settled as well.
“Francis, the doctor said you have to rest for at least five days while undergoing treatment. That means you can't work during that time. The filming still needs to proceed. Who do you think can take over your job while you're away?"
It was a very crucial decision. Who would become the acting chief director?
Hearing this, the surrounding actors and actresses could not help but look at some of the more obvious choices. The assistant director, the action director, Jay, and even Jeremy had the background and skills to somehow fill the said role.
However, both the action director and the assistant director took the initiative to say that they couldn't do it. After all, the show only started shooting for about a week. They hadn't thoroughly studied the script, so they could only assist the chief director. But being the one solely in charge was out of the question.
Although Jeremy had a great reputation for directing films in the past, it had been so long since he personally handled this role. When the business started to take off and several big directors like Francis joined the company, he had mostly been in charge of growing the business. Hence, he had to admit that he was already rusty when it came to directing.
“Maybe I can try..." Without anyone stepping up for the job, Jay frowned and hesitantly offered to take on the task.
Although he had always been responsible, he also had a clear estimation of himself.
Directing such a big-budgeted series Like the Legend of Anne, even Jay, who was known as a top talent in the entertainment industry, didn't have enough confidence to properly fulfill this important role.
Francis was already mounted inside the ambulance, lying down on a gurney.
But after hearing Jeremy's question, he slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed in a certain direction.
Looking where Francis was pointing his finger, Jeremy and the others saw Lyndsey and Maria standing there.
