Free Web NovelChapter 2236: Chapter 2236: The Young Ones’ Sweet Love (149)
Sophie Greenwood didn’t continue thinking; she felt she had discovered something remarkable.
As a result, when facing Laura Jones, her smile became increasingly gentle, even radiating a maternal affection.
Laura Jones: "..."
Laura was a bit embarrassed by Sophie Greenwood’s "affectionate" smile.
Just as she was about to say something to break the awkwardness, Sophie finally spoke:
"It was just a small effort, turns out the ’sister’ Mr. Tang mentioned is you."
"Yes, it’s me."
Sophie Greenwood started chatting with her with an unusual enthusiasm that Laura Jones found hard to handle.
Fortunately, Sophie Greenwood’s next scene started filming soon, and she was called away.
Before this, Laura Jones didn’t know Sophie was so talkative.
Breathing a quiet sigh of relief, she quickly turned and ran to find Writer Xu, to avoid Sophie grabbing her for more conversation after the shoot.
The following scene is a confrontation between the male lead’s "first love" and his "current partner."
The scene doesn’t have much content, yet it plays an important role in shifting the main storyline, prompting Writer Xu to specifically pull it out to emphasize it to the Director for focused filming.
Emma Williams is a newcomer, appearing somewhat out of place next to the award-winning Sophie Greenwood.
Yet this perfectly suited the character personalities in the drama.
Plus, Emma had previously played several minor roles; even the Director acknowledged her acting skills.
This scene was filmed exceptionally smoothly, making the Director happy.
After the shoot, the Director even specially praised Emma—
"Young lady, your acting is good. With more polishing, you’ll definitely have a great future ahead."
Emma was overjoyed at the Director’s praise, grinning widely—
"Thank you, Director."
After speaking, she glanced triumphantly towards Laura Jones.
But Laura Jones was absorbed in learning with Writer Xu and had no time to pay attention to her.
Emma was slightly annoyed but then thought of something, a faint cold smile crossing her eyes.
Afterward, the actress playing the opposing N role with Emma didn’t show up, infuriating the Director to the point of swearing on the spot.
Shortly after, news arrived saying that the actress had a minor car accident on her way and would not be able to make it for today’s shoot.
Eventually, the Director lost his temper and said directly:
"Just find someone with a similar build to fill in."
Since the scene was a long shot filmed from the side without showing the actress’s face clearly, the Director felt this was acceptable.
Fortunately, many of the extras in the crew had quite good acting skills; finding a suitable stand-in wasn’t difficult.
Just as the Director was about to call someone to help with this, he saw Emma’s eyes flicker, and she walked over to the Director, saying:
"Director, there’s no need to make it so complicated; we have a ready candidate right here in our crew."
"A ready candidate?"
The Director’s face showed curiosity, as Emma glanced towards Laura Jones with a nod, saying:
"Laura the writer is ideal as she has a good appearance and suitable build, why bother finding someone elsewhere?"
"First love’s" scenes are mostly fragmented, not continuous.
The Director planned to complete Emma’s scenes quickly before filming the male and female lead scenes together, so he didn’t want to delay the progress. Hearing Emma’s suggestion, he didn’t think much and personally went to ask Laura Jones her opinion.
Seeing the Director personally ask for her help, and since it was a scene that didn’t demand much acting skill, Laura agreed to it.
