Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Ruining Her Face
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Arthur North and Lilian Lopez had very few scenes together. Other than one scene on the first day of filming, they didn’t have any shared scenes after a week passed.
Occasionally, when they ran into each other on the film set, Lilian would roll her eyes from afar, but Arthur would completely ignore her.
Lilian was very popular, and the actors in the drama crew, sensing her dislike for Arthur, followed suit by isolating him.
Fortunately, Arthur enjoyed solitude; their isolation actually made his time on set more enjoyable, as it saved him from having to interact with others.
Today, Arthur had several fight scenes, and all were with the martial arts instructor and extras.
It had a sense of a one-man-against-all fight to break through enemy lines.
While Lilian and George Dunn were filming, Arthur practiced routines with the martial arts instructor.
“Is it because you have a dance background, or have you studied martial arts before? Your routines are quite impressive,” the martial arts instructor praised.
Arthur only responded with a grunt and didn’t say much.
The martial arts instructor was a burly man, with biceps that would bulge under his clothes with even slight movement.
After practicing for a while, the instructor suddenly grasped Arthur’s hand and stepped forward, standing behind him. The other hand was placed on Arthur’s waist.
“Use force in your hand upward, ” he said while forcing downward on Arthur’s waist, “and use strength here.”
Arthur lowered his eyes and looked at the instructor’s hand on his waist. In the next second, he grabbed the instructor’s wrist, spun around, and twisted it fiercely.
The martial arts instructor groaned and instinctively tried to break free, but he couldn’t: “Let go!”
Arthur stared at him, his eyes cold: “If this hand touches me again, I’ll disable it.”
“Let go of me!”
“Did you hear me?” Arthur applied more force.
In fact, as soon as the man reached out, Arthur instinctively wanted to take action but stopped himself from hurting others. It was only then that the instructor had the opportunity to touch him.
Arthur never took the fight scenes seriously, as they were too simple for him.
The only thing he worried about was that he might instinctively hurt his opponents, so he practiced routines on set.
“I heard you, I heard you.” The martial arts instructor was sweating profusely.
Arthur let go of him and removed his coat, planning to go back to the nanny car and change.
The martial arts instructor held his wrist. After regaining some sense, he started cursing: “Damn woman, acting so virtuous. No one should even touch people who look like you. You’re still nothing but an object for someone’s bed sooner or later…”
At the time he was cursing, Lilian came over.
“Instructor Morgan,” Lilian approached slowly, wearing a cheongsam and a charming smile on her face, “What happened? Are you hurt?”
Instructor Morgan stood up straight, rubbing his wrist: “It’s nothing. In our line of work, bumps and bruises are inevitable. Miss Lopez, what brings you here?”
“I finished my scenes for today and was about to leave,” Lilian took a few more steps forward, “I came over after hearing your voice and suddenly remembered something. I need Instructor Morgan’s help.”
Instructor Morgan had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had seen it all. He knew that Lilian had heard him cursing Arthur and had come to ask him for help, which must be related to Arthur.
After a moment’s silence, he smiled and said, “I’m just a coarse man. What could I possibly help a superstar like you with?”
Lilian laughed: “Indeed, I do need your help, Instructor Morgan. These martial arts routines… the artists aren’t professionals; it’s only natural for some accidents and injuries to occur if they forget a move or make the wrong action.”
Instructor Morgan didn’t say anything but looked at her.
From her bag, Lilian took out a card: “Here’s 1.5 million; please accept it, Instructor Morgan.”
Instructor Morgan looked around.
“Don’t worry, my assistants are outside, guarding the area. No one will find out about our conversation,” Lilian said, “I want her face ruined, so she can never stay in this industry again.”
“This…” Instructor Morgan hesitated. It’s one thing to get a minor injury, but if her face is injured, her entire life could be ruined.
“Don’t worry, she’s just a country girl from the countryside, without any background. Do you know the Truro Song Family?” Lilian Lopez said, “If you can get her out of the entertainment industry, the Truro Family will protect you.”
Before Lilian Lopez joined the crew, Olivia Chester repeatedly reminded her to drive Daisy Zane away from the team.
Instructor Morgan was silent for a while, looking at the card: “How can I trust you?”
Lilian Lopez sighed and took out another card from her bag: “There is 1 million more in this one.”
Instructor Morgan smiled, took the card, and said: “Alright.”
Daisy Zane returned to the nanny car to change her coat and went to the set, where the shooting had already started.
She thought the martial arts instructor earlier would make things difficult for her, but the man just gave her a cold glance and left.
The first scene, Daisy Zane snipes from a window on the upper floor.
She wore a black trench coat, carrying a case, quickly went upstairs, then assembled the sniper rifle, set it up, and sniped.
The sniper rifle was very realistic, with the features of a real firearm like ejecting shells, firing, vibration, and recoil, except it was not lethal.
The prop teacher taught Daisy Zane on the scene, but the teaching was very rough, at a fast pace, and incorrect.
Daisy Zane listened quietly, suspecting that the teacher had been secretly coerced by someone behind the scenes.
The director’s side was all ready and about to start shooting when suddenly an assistant ran over and said something to him, and he quickly ran out.
In no time, he brought two people back with him.
It was Allonzo Hobson and Kevin Clark.
“How come Young Master Hobson has time to come over here.” The director was very respectful on the side.
“Ah, my mother took a movie, she’s in the crew next door. My friend and I came over to visit.” Allonzo Hobson said.
The Hobson Entertainment is the pinnacle of the entertainment industry pyramid. Moreover, Allonzo Hobson had a good relationship with Third Master from the Clark Family, climbing their connections, and anyone would give him respect.
The director glanced at Kevin Clark, seeing his luxurious appearance and how Allonzo Hobson was respectful to him, he didn’t dare to ask who he was: “You are welcome to visit anytime.”
“Whose scene is it today?” Allonzo Hobson asked knowingly.
“It’s a newcomer named Daisy Zane, she has excellent acting skills. Young Master Hobson, you can take a look.”
Allonzo Hobson looked at Kevin Clark and smiled: “I have to see that, newcomers are all potential stocks.”
Kevin Clark also glanced at him, trying to slow down his steps, making himself look less anxious.
When they reached the equipment, the director found seats for both of them and let them sit down.
George Dunn and Lilian Lopez did not leave today. When new people arrived, they both looked over.
Lilian Lopez’s eyes lit up when she saw Allonzo Hobson, while George Dunn frowned.
On Daisy Zane’s side, the prop teacher hastily taught her and said: “Are you ready? I’m leaving if you are, you guys shoot.”
Without waiting for Daisy Zane’s response, he left.
Even the videographer couldn’t stand it and asked: “Can you do it? If not, I’ll call him back.”
Daisy Zane skillfully disassembled the assembled gun and put it back in the
box: “Let’s shoot.”
The videographer brother: “…Alright..”
