Sophie Wilson’s words had barely left her mouth when she saw all the emotions on Charles Seymour’s face disappear in an instant.
Before Sophie could react, the video went black with a snap.
Sophie looked at the computer in surprise, the network seemed fine.
So... did someone hang up on purpose?
Before Sophie could figure out what was going on, her phone chimed with a text notification. She picked it up instinctively to check and burst out laughing, murmuring softly, "Shy guy!"
The text was from Seymour, a single word—miss.
Did he hang up because he was feeling embarrassed?
Holding her phone, Sophie lay back on the bed, giggling. This guy... aww, why is he so cute?
"Sophie, you start running from here in a moment, no need to go up. Then over there, we’ll shoot again with the shot of you jumping down," the director said to Sophie.
"Such a great insider, can’t even get past this obstacle?" Grace Wilson sassed from the side, "Needing a stunt double, that’s really funny."
This scene was during the training of the second female lead at the training camp. It was her excellence that got her selected as an insider. Googlᴇ search 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
To highlight that, naturally, it needed to be done in one continuous shot.
The director was considerate; they naturally got a stunt double for this kind of shot.
Stunt doubles are either martial artists since childhood or former athletes, anyway, they have skills.
Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to do it.
Even with a stunt double, you couldn’t guarantee a one-take shot.
After all, the director’s demands were not just to complete it, but to be excellent!
To highlight the second female lead’s excellence.
The director frowned, no one would like a troublemaker, especially one affecting the crew’s working atmosphere.
Sophie, on the other hand, smiled easily and asked, "Who in our crew doesn’t use a stunt double? Turns out everyone’s so funny."
As soon as Sophie spoke, Grace Wilson turned green.
She had been so focused on provoking Sophie, completely forgetting about everyone else.
"Director, how about letting me try a take first?" Sophie turned to the director.
The director frowned, was Sophie provoked by Grace Wilson?
"Director, Sophie volunteered, let her try. You never know, she might make it," Grace Wilson chimed in enthusiastically when she saw Sophie stepping up as if to "face disaster."
"Grace, are you out of your mind?" Julian Campbell directly rebuked, "Even a stunt double can’t guarantee to achieve what the director wants, and you want Sophie to try! Why don’t you give it a try?"
"Isn’t she volunteering?" Grace Wilson replied smugly, "I’m just facilitating her. Who knows, maybe she has what it takes. If we don’t let her show what she’s got, wouldn’t that be a waste?"
Grace was already going all out; since covert tactics didn’t work, she decided to just tear the masks off.
Who’s afraid of whom anyway?
Besides, she had Ophelia’s video of Sophie supposedly bullying her on set.
"Why don’t you try it then?" Julian asked angrily.
"I don’t have the skills," Grace admitted blatantly, "Sophie has the skills, she’s capable, let her do it."
Julian was so angry he felt like punching someone, this shameless Grace Wilson.
"Sophie, do you want to try it?" The director asked, actually, if they could avoid using a stunt double, that would obviously be better.
