Chapter: 114
Instead, she continued discussing the play with the cast. According to the scenes they were going to shoot, she gave them pointers on how they could perfectly portray their characters.
This time, everyone became studious. They took out their phones and recorded what Maria said so that they could repeatedly study it before the takes.
Only Vivian and Patricia were standing in the corner, not participating in Maria's lectures.
The two of them cast a disdainful look at Maria as she discussed her interpretation of the scenes. But still, they couldn't help but prick up their ears.
In fact, the more they listened, the more surprised and confused they got. They did not expect Maria to have such a thorough understanding of the story of the Legend of Anne.
“Aunt Patricia, can I ask you a question? Why is Maria so good at this? Does she really have what it takes to be a great director?"
Vivian began to feel uneasy and disappointed. She asked Patricia in a low voice, thinking that right now, she was far behind Maria in terms of skills.
She couldn't accept that things became this way.
She had already starred in a web series, but this was just Maria's first time working with such a Large crew. So, why was she performing much better than her?
Vivian couldn't help but think that if Maria did become a famous director several years later, then she might end up needing her help instead.
Hearing Vivian's question, Patricia snorted loudly.
“A great director? You are being easily fooled. Of course she doesn't have it in her! Haven't you figured out what's really going on here?”
“Huh? I have no idea. What is really going on? Please tell me!" Vivian's spirit became alive and excited. She was so eager to know what Patricia found out.
With a sneer on her face, Patricia explained, "Maria has been the script supervisor for a week before Mr. Jackson got sick, right? That means that she has been with Mr. Jackson all day long throughout the first week. Before the actual shooting, I'm sure he must have told her in advance all his thoughts about the scenes we are about to do. That is why every word she said seemed to make perfect sense. It must also be the main reason why Mr. Jackson said that Maria was the one who could temporarily take his place!"
Vivian's eyes Lit up. "So, what you're saying is that none of this is Maria's own idea? She’s doing nothing but convey Mr. Jackson's thoughts to everyone? It also means that she actually doesn't have any amazing ability?”
“Yes! Of course! Did you forget that Maria is a mere country bumpkin? How will she come up with those great ideas on her own?"
Patricia asked mockingly, raising her head confidently.
Finally, Vivian's mood lightened, and she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
To her, what Patricia said made perfect sense. Maria couldn't be so excellent in this field. In fact, she was just acting like Francis' mouthpiece.
“Damn it. I was so riled up that I didn't think of it. She made me Look so stupid! Of course, the script supervisor is responsible for recording all of the director's thoughts before and during shooting. It's just normal that Maria is the one who understands Mr. Jackson's ideas the most in the entire crew. Humph! That bitch is acting Like everything she's saying is coming from her brilliant mind! She won't be able to fool me anymore!" Vivian said firmly, clenching her fists.
