Angel took two steps forward, her admiring gaze falling upon Spencer's face as she extended an invitation to him, "Spencer, shall we give it a try as well? This scene seems a bit challenging for us."
The man collected his thoughts and cast a cold glance at her, showing little interest, "Try what?" as if he had no interest in her at all.
"It's about the scene we're shooting later. Shouldn't we discuss it first? Doing it in one take might be difficult, given the wide range of movements. Poor coordination could be risky, and capturing the beauty from all angles won't be easy."
Before Spencer could respond, the director turned to them, motioning them to come closer, "Spencer, Angel, come over here!" He beckoned as he walked towards them.
With his hands in his pockets, Spencer glanced at the director before stepping forward.
Angel lifted the intricate hem of her evening gown and followed suit.
The spacious and beautiful villa featured a shimmering swimming pool in the backyard. When the lights were on, and the sunset's glow adorned the sky, it became even more enchanting.
"Angel, remember this spot. You'll need to twist your ankle here later," the director instructed as he paced around the pool, marking the positions.
Angel nodded attentively, taking in every word.
The director provided on-the-spot guidance, "Then, you'll need to turn left and lean back, extending your arms as wide as possible. Don't struggle, maintain control over your facial expressions, and
widen your eyes."
Angel nodded again, visualizing the scene in her mind. It would surely be breathtaking.
"As for you, Spencer, extend your right hand and grab her waist firmly. Be mindful of your facial expressions," the director demonstrated the action, "Your only concern is not stepping on her gown and accidentally falling into the pool."
Spencer nodded, showing signs of concentration.
Soon, it was time to shoot the first segment, perfectly timed as the night set in.
"Action! Everyone, be ready!" The director clapped his hands and walked towards the nearby equipment.
"Summer and Harlan, get ready for the scene!"
"Here we go!"
As the two actors approached, Harlan's gaze fell upon Summer's face, "Summer, you don't seem like a newcomer at all. You catch on quickly."
"You flatter me. Acting alongside talented actors like you makes me nervous. I just make sure to memorize the script in advance, so I don't hold you back." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"As long as you're not nervous, we'll nail it in one take," he encouraged her.
Meanwhile, the extras were also ready, dressed extravagantly with sophisticated makeup, portraying the affluent guests of the charity gala.
They mingled, holding glasses of wine, their laughter echoing amidst classical music.
The atmosphere at the grand villa was luxurious and elegant.
"Summer, you'll exit from here, staying to the right. When Harlan enters, he'll bump into your shoulder, causing your drink to spill on his shirt, but be careful not to get it on his face," the director briefed them one last time.
"Understood," Summer nodded. She and Harlan had already discussed how to capture the beauty of the scene.
Not far away, Spencer held a glass of wine, occasionally glancing at the pair, overseeing the proceedings.
As the male lead, he naturally appeared in the scene, but this close-up shot didn't involve him at all. It focused on Zoe and Maren's first encounter.
With everything in place, the scene officially began. Thanks to their previous rehearsal, Summer felt no pressure working with Harlan, who was easy to get along with. It was like they were in sync, resulting in a flawless take.
Applause filled the air, and the director praised, "Summer, you're making great progress. Keep up the good work!"
