Chapter 342
Chapter: 342 Upon seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he hesitated on whether he should wake her up or not.
Just as Tyler was contemplating whether to wake her up, Ariana’s phone began to ring, jolting her awake. She turned off the alarm and noticed Tyler standing in front of her.
Ariana sneezed, stood up, and rubbed her nose. “Alright, let's get going. We should leave now.”
The studio was located just ten minutes’ walk away from the hotel, so Ariana and Tyler bundled up in hats and scarves before walking over.
After dropping Tyler off at the studio, Ariana found a coffee shop and settled in. The hotel had poor sound insulation, which made it difficult for her to go back to sleep at this point.
After finishing her meal and taking a break, she went out to find another hotel.
Here, the weather changed drastically from day to night. Although it was sunny and already late morning, Ariana still felt a bit chilly and the air felt damp.
Ariana sniffled and buttoned up her coat. Then, she hailed a taxi to take her to the hotel five kilometers away.
The film and television center was an expansive area, with the capacity to host over a hundred film crews simultaneously. As a result, there were numerous hotels scattered throughout the vicinity.
To Ariana’s surprise, it was peak season for filming and all of the hotels were booked up a week in advance, with some even requiring bookings to be made a month ahead of time.
Ariana had spent the entire morning searching for an available hotel, but was unable to find one. Frustrated, she decided to head back to the studio and come up with a new plan.
As soon as Ariana entered the temporary filming site, she overheard Francis scolding someone through the intercom, “Can you even act? | 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.
