Chapter 147
Many in the crew felt bad for her, but she herself didn't seem to care.
The scene was an aerial one, requiring harnesses and even included a part where she had to jump into water from several meters high.
The post-production effects will surely be magical, but for now, she had to just suck it up and take the plunge.
As soon as she stood on the prop tree, Helena.began to regret it. After the director shouted "Action", Helena did not move for a long time. She huddled up on the tree, trembling non-stop.
The director was already a little dissatisfied with Helena, and suddenly became emotional, "What's the problem? Jump! Why aren't you jumping?"
Clutching the tree trunk tightly, Helena was shaking like a leaf, "Director, let the stunt double do it. I...I'm scared of heights and water, I can't shoot!"
"What were you saying when you were filming this scene at dawn, when it was time to shoot this scene? You said you'd do it yourself, no need for a stunt double! Either jump now or we'll replace you!" Carlos's words left Helena green in the face.
This scene was the most impressive in the script. While it might seem plain while shooting, the post-production effects would be mind-blowing. She couldn't let Astrid steal this opportunity to shine.
With that thought, she gathered her courage to look down again. But as soon as she saw what was below, she started shaking uncontrollably.
She tried hard to convince herself not to be scared, but her grip on the tree just got tighter.
After a few more minutes, Carlos lost his patience and shouted, "Next!"
"Director, you can't replace me, remember what you promised Mr. Dalton?" Many on set were not pleased with her impertinence.
The mention of this made Carlos very angry. If it wasn't for Mr. Dalton threatening to pull funding, he never would have agreed to give the leading lady's scenes to the second lead.
Without the Dalton Group's investment, he wouldn't find replacement investors in time and the crew's work would come to a halt. After all, the Dalton Group was the biggest investor, owning sixty percent of the shares and naturally had the biggest say.
Carlos had high hopes for Astrid, but didn't expect Helena to mess things up. He was furious.
Just then, his phone rang.
He was in a bad mood and didn't pick up.
To his surprise, the number called again.
Sitting in his chair, he answered the phone with a frown, "Hello?"
"Is this Carlos? I'm Chad, the CEO of ForgeFire Games. I'm interested in your upcoming movie, Mystic Mysteries. Our board of directors unanimously decided to invest in your movie..."
Carlos stood up from his chair in shock, "Forge Fire Games?"
Just two and a half years ago, Forge Fire Games was a young gaming company.
Their first major online game quickly became the leader in the gaming industry. The games they continued to release were loved by gamers of all ages. Last year, ForgeFire Games successfully went public and now they're one of the top three gaming groups in the world.
Despite his surprise, Mr. Carlos wasn't going to believe him just because he said so, "I'm sorry, but I can't confirm your identity."
Chad: "I've already posted the news of our investment in your movie on our official account. I've also emailed the contract to you. If you're okay with the investment amount, we can sign it right away."
