Chapter 508 Fawning Over The Rich And Powerful
Even Marty couldn't handle her, but he didn't know why she was so enthusiastic to him. He didn't need this kind of luck...
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became.
After thinking for a while, he decided to send Marty a message and report what had happened to avoid causing any misunderstanding in the future.
Soon, all the staff and actors were present.
Wes said a few words before the filming began.
What Wes was saying was that all he cared about was the ability of the actors, instead of how rich the sponsors behind them were.
If he really wanted to act, Wes would welcome him with open arms. However, if he dared to act all stuck-up and was not professional enough, Wes would not hesitate to replace him with someone else.
He, Wes, would not allow such a thing to happen even if it would mean that he would lose a fortune.
These words caused everyone to look at each other helplessly.
They all knew who these words were directed to. It was precisely because of this that everyone was surprised.
No one had expected that Wes would have a problem with Evelyn.
Thinking of this, some people, who had the habit of fawning over the rich and powerful, looked at Evelyn in a different light now.
However, in the face of these strange looks, Evelyn's expression was not awkward at all, nor there was any negative emotion.
She looked at Wes so calmly and smiled, showing that she had agreed with Wes's viewpoint.
Of course, she was not afraid.
Evelyn spent a whole month devoting herself to studying the script.
How could she be so easily defeated by Wes's prejudice against her?
Evelyn believed that she would not ruin her own reputation.
Therefore, Evelyn was confident that she could prove herself with her own strength and at the same time, she could prove that she had the ability to play the role well and make things right—
She was not just a pinup who had landed the role because of the financial support of the sponsor. She was an actress, a dignified and well-deserved actress.
In the face of Evelyn's frankness, Wes didn't understand what she was thinking.
He just thought Evelyn was unrepentant.
Wes didn't know how Evelyn had the courage to do it. Even though she lacked capability, she was still able to look at him in such an indifferent manner. She even dared to agree with his words.
This made Wes feel that he had been provoked.
But he did not show it. Instead, he said nonchalantly, "I hope all of you will show me your true abilities. Don't let me down."
After deliberately glancing at Evelyn, he turned his head and walked to the cameras.
The filming officially began.
The first scene today was played by Evelyn.
The plot was that Frances, portrayed by Evelyn, had a conflict with her mother, Madam Dormand.
At that time, when the news of Connie passed away broke out, Frances said furiously that she could not let her father die in vain, but Madam Dormand, who was a docile and traditional woman, dejectedly asked what Frances was going to do.
After Frances told her all of her thoughts, Madam Dormand opposed it.
Because she could no longer represent herself alone. As the eldest daughter of the Dormand family, as well as Connie's only daughter, she represented Connie's pride too.
Besides, Madam Dormand didn't want Connie's reputation to be tarnished after his death.
Well, Frances thought otherwise.
In her opinion, it was just because she represented Connie, she had to stand up and tell the Emperor, Connie's old subordinates, and the enemies who had killed her father that the Dormand family was still standing tall. And she, Frances Dormand, as a woman, was not less than any man.
Finally, Frances successfully convinced Madam Dormand to agree to her plan.
But Madam Dormand had one condition, that Frances had to go to the St. Hale to obtain an amulet first, so that as a mother, she could rest assured.
On the way to St. Hale, Frances was ambushed by a group of people when she crossed a bridge. In order to escape, she was forced to jump into the lake to escape.
The surface of the lake was covered with a thin layer of ice as it was winter.
The water was frighteningly cold. Everyone thought a weak woman like Frances would definitely not be able to survive.
Thus, the assassins stopped their pursuit and Frances managed to escape with her life.
When Evelyn started to read this part of the play, she had carefully thought about the conflict in it.
There were two main conflicts in this segment. The first was the argument between Frances and Madam Dormand, and the second was the life and death struggle faced by Frances.
The former was the opening scene and it was also a crucial one.
In a few minutes, Evelyn's acting had to show her decisive determination to avenge her father. At the same time, she would have to show her disappointment towards her mother's conservativeness, and a reluctant compromise towards her mother's way of doing things, driven by her filial piety.
If Evelyn was able to perform well, she would be able to bring Frances's character to life just based on this one scene.
But that was easier said than done.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, the pressure on Evelyn was actually very great.
But for Evelyn, it would be a delightful experience for her to be able to perform such a scene.
For her, it was more important to play a challenging role than anything else.
Therefore, in the few minutes before the camera began to roll, Evelyn was not anxious at all. Instead, she looked at the busy crew with expectation in her eyes.
For her, waiting was actually an enjoyment.
But what Evelyn didn't know was that from Wes's point of view, she was just putting on an act.
Under the influence of Melodie's instigation and accusations, Wes had no good impression of Evelyn.
Nonetheless, Evelyn didn't care about it.
She only cared about when she could start to perform and to be able to immerse herself in the role.
What made Evelyn happy was that she didn't have to wait too long.
Soon, the crew members were ready.
Evelyn, who had already changed her costumes, got up and patted her dress. With a confident smile on her face, she strode to the center of the set.
"I'd like to see how good you are." Looking at Evelyn who was so excited, Wes sneered with disdain.
After coming to the center of the set, Evelyn nodded to the woman who was about to play with her.
There was a flash of confusion in the woman's eyes. Nevertheless, she still nodded in reply.
She got flustered as soon as she thought about what Melodie had told her to do before— no matter what, she had to ruin Evelyn's play.
In fact, she did not want to do this.
However, Melodie had insisted on asking her to do so. She had even threatened her that if she did not do so, she would have persuaded Wes to cut off her screen time.
She knew very well that as a woman, it was not easy for her to land a role like this.
Therefore, she cherished this opportunity even more. She didn't want to be kicked out of the crew because of Evelyn.
Soon, the filming began.
When she read the first line, Evelyn found that she had no chemistry with her scene partner at all.
How shall she put this? Evelyn felt that even though she was playing the role of the character in the series, Evelyn didn't feel like she was immersed in her role at all.
