Summer Monroe nodded, "I understand."
Filming began.
Summer Monroe held an umbrella and hurriedly ran to the customer to shelter them.
The rain above the customer’s head was blocked, but Summer Monroe got half of her shoulder wet.
"Cut!" The filming director and the photographer clapped in satisfaction, "Very good! Pass!"
Summer Monroe breathed a sigh of relief, finishing half an hour ahead of the scheduled shooting time.
But just as Summer Monroe was about to change out of her wet clothes, Selina’s voice rang out, "This take isn’t up to standard, reshoot!"
Summer Monroe frowned and looked at Selina, who was clearly finding fault, and said, "Miss Selina, the director and the photographer both said this take was good."
The director nodded and said, "Miss Selina, that take was perfect, and the emotions were spot on. There’s no need for a reshoot."
Selina crossed her arms and raised her chin, "I am the main person in charge of this shoot, if I say it didn’t pass, it didn’t pass."
Summer Monroe looked at Selina with icy eyes.
Originally, she wanted to maintain superficial peace, but now it seemed unnecessary.
Summer Monroe spoke up, "Selina, if there’s something lacking in my shoot, feel free to point it out, and I’ll reshoot. But if you’re making me reshoot without reason, forgive me for not cooperating with your unreasonable troubles!"
Unreasonable troubles? That little bitch actually dared to call her unreasonable?
Does she believe Selina couldn’t find a reason to directly replace her as the spokesperson?!
Selina’s face turned grim, but she noticed the other staff also looking at her strangely, so she swallowed the words she wanted to use to scold Summer Monroe.
Her eyes turned, coming up with a reason, and coldly said, "This take can indeed be considered passable, but I think the content can be explored a bit deeper."
"For example?"
"For example, your first action after opening the door shouldn’t be to shelter yourself with an umbrella, you should run directly towards the customer through the rain, opening the umbrella as you run, showing more urgency to protect them from the rain."
"Ha..." Summer Monroe chuckled.
Selina’s intentions were obvious, wanting her to get rained on a few more times.
The weather had suddenly changed, with the temperature a few degrees lower and the artificial rain being icy cold, on top of that, she was on her period today and feeling very cold, being rained on a few more times might result in a cold.
Selina really played her cards well.
"Why are you laughing? Are you going to waste time? Let’s restart shooting!" Selina commanded in an irrefutable tone.
Since Selina was the main person in charge of this shoot, and she provided a reason, the filming crew had no choice but to let Summer Monroe reshoot.
The director cautiously tried to persuade, "Miss Sadie, our person in charge... indeed has some excessive demands. But you see, time is already tight, maybe... you could reshoot one more time?"
Summer Monroe looked at the pleading eyes of the director and the photographer, and she could choose not to listen to Selina, but if she refused to shoot, the entire team wouldn’t be able to complete their task.
She could not deny the requests of these innocent people.
Summer Monroe relented, "Alright, I’ll shoot it again."
"Great! You’re so talented, you’ll definitely pass in one go!"
But with Selina watching closely from the side, could she really pass in one go?
Summer Monroe wasn’t sure, but she could only do her best.
The shoot restarted.
Summer Monroe held the umbrella with one hand, pushed open the door, and without any hesitation, ran into the icy cold rain.
As she was about to reach the customer, she opened the umbrella to block the rain above the customer’s head.
"Thank you." The customer thanked her with a smile, and the two walked side by side into the Midnight Coffee House.
The shoot ended.
Summer Monroe walked out and asked, "Is it okay this time?"
"This take also looks great and can be used directly," the director said, subconsciously glancing at Selina.
Selina watched the replay on the monitor over and over again with scrutiny.
Soon, Selina said, "No, reshoot! Summer Monroe, you deliberately avoided the puddles on the ground earlier, that’s not okay, you have to step into them to show more urgency."
The director couldn’t help speaking up for Summer Monroe, "Miss Selina, this... isn’t necessary, is it?"
