Love And
CHAPTER 91

Chapter 91

At the Aotori shooting base, Rebecca was busy trying on differe make–up and working with the crew to replace the perfect look for the final photoshoot.

Ruth looked at her, growing more and more fond of her with each passing moment.

Malcolm Gray, the male lead, was also on set. At twenty–seven, wa

he a veteran actor with solid skills and good looks. Unfortunately, his lack of connections and a string of bad luck had kept him from hitting the big time.

Malcolm was on the verge of quitting the biz, but then, out of the blue, he landed the male lead role in Lovey Princess. He actually nailed the audition!

The initial thrill quickly faded, though. Malcolm began to worry again.

Without any background or connections, he feared that the lead role he earned might be taken away at the last minute.

Such things happened all the time in the entertainment industry. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Even his agent told him not to get his hopes up too high.

With this mindset, Malcolm held it together and showed up for his costume fitting today, as instructed.

It was only after arriving here that he realized just how wealthy their production team was!

The renowned actor Charlie had invested 20 million dollars into their crew!

Not only that, but Charlie was also going to make a cameo appearance in their production. He wasn’t going to steal the spotlight from the lead actor. He was simply taking on an insignificant supporting role!

And the reason Charlie did all this was because of one person, the lead actress in their drama, Elizabeth Dalton, played by Becky!

The entire crew was buzzing, praising the director’s keen eye for choosing Becky, the destined lead, from hundreds of auditioning actresses!

The news of Becky passing the audition was just announced in the morning, and by the afternoon, Charlie had arrived and invested 20 million dollars in their production, setting forth numerous demands. The more Malcolm listened to these demands, the more his heart raced with excitement.

“Malcolm, this is it! Give it your all and stay focused to portray the role of Yves Whitman. We’re going to knock this one out!” Ruth said to Malcolm with a joyful expression.

Malcolm’s face was flushed with excitement. “Wait, so we’re locked in? You’re saying the lead…that I won’t get replaced just because the investor wants his own guy?”

Ruth nodded. “Yes! Just focus on your acting.

“Still, you need to polish your acting skills and not mess up at critical moments. Charlie said he doesn’t have any other specific requirements for our cast, but he insists that the lead actors must have bour the looks and the acting skills to keep up with Becky.

“You definitely look the part of the prince, but if your acting falls flat and Charlie isn’t happy, you could still be out.”

Malcolm’s jaw dropped. Don’t you worry, Director! I’ll knock your socks off with my performance!” he quickly responded, eager to reassure her.

Chapter 91

With a generous budget and a commitment to the script, the only goal was to make this show the best it could be. Malcolm had a hunch it was going to be a hit!

He knew this was his chance to shine.

Who knew when another opportunity like this would come alone?

Rebecca stood nearby, listening to their open discussion, her cheeks slightly flushed with embarrassment.

“Let’s all do our best!” she chimed in.

Malcolm looked at Becky, nodding in excitement. “Absolutely, let’s do this! And… thank you! Thank you so much!” he thought about something and shyly said, a bit embarrassed.

The entertainment industry was complex, and Malcolm knew that without Becky’s help wrangling investors for the show, he could easily be replaced by some other actor someone else brought in. He was genuinely grateful.

Plus, with Charlie pouring so much money into the production, they could go all out on costumes, makeup, and many other details. If the script was good and the acting held up, they could have a real hit on their hands!

Malcolm was pumped. He felt like this was his shot, his one chance to really make it big!

After the promotion photos were taken, the director distributed the scripts, instructing everyone to read through them and get into character.

Meanwhile, the production team had a million things to take care of, such as costumes, sets, and location scouting. It was going to take some time to get everything ready.

Rebecca spent nearly half a month preparing.

Finally, Ruth called to check in, cautiously asking if she was ready because the production team was all set and ready to start shooting anytime.

Rebecca, of course, was ready to jump in and immediately agreed.

Ruth was thrilled and promptly sent over a few potential dates for Rebecca to pick from.

Starting filming was a big deal, and the chosen date needed to be carefully selected to ensure everything went off without a

hitch.

Rebecca was surprised that the director was letting her choose the start date. But then again, considering how much money Charlie had poured into the production, it wasn’t that shocking.

Rebecca looked over the dates, pondered for a moment, and decided to message Malcolm to see if he was free to attend the opening ceremony for the film shoot.

On his end, Malcolm was caught off guard to be consulted on such an important matter. It made him think even more highly of Rebecca.

[I’m good to go whenever. Just let me know what you decide.] Malcolm replied right away.

Seeing his response, Rebecca smiled and picked the earliest possible date, eager to get started.

Having made up her mind, she let Ruth know her decision.

Chapter 91

Ruth was thrilled with the chosen date. She wanted to get the cameras rolling as soon as possible. Any delays could lead to unexpected problems. The sooner they wrapped up filming, the sooner they could relax.

Just like that, the filming start date was set. It was the day after tomorrow!

However, Rebecca didn’t expect her phone to ring again the very next second. Someone was calling her.

She glanced at the screen. It was Theodore.

Rebecca hesitated for a second before blocking his number.

Debra saw this and frowned, “That jerk is bad news, Becky. Don’t give him another thought!”

Rebecca looked up at her mother and smiled, nodding, “I know, Mom.”

She was done with Theodore. It was a waste of time and energy

Just as she was thinking this, her phone rang again, showing a call from an unknown number.
