Chapter 43
The film crew was buzzing with energy, prepping for the second scene. A few crew members were huddled in a comer, chatting quietly.
“Great acting for one take, but this scene is a beast with all these lines,” one of them said, not hiding their doubt. “I heard she only got the script ten minutes ago. Probably didn’t even skim through it.”
“Can’t wait to see her fall on her face, another added with a smirk.
Winona was giving Quiana the cold shoulder, her eyes full of sarcasm.
“Take 26, action!” John’s voice boomed, followed by the crisp snap of the clapperboard.
Mia and Selina were catching up, talking about their parents, past adventures, and Mia’s new venture into the esports industry, She was
for invesion
the hunt
Selina, with her signature boss–like posture, arched an eyebrow and casually draped her arm over the uble. With me around, why bother with investors? Just tell me how much you need.”
Mia chuckled. “If I wanted to rely on you, I’d just kick back and do nothing. But I’m passionate about this, and I’m aiming for the stars”
Selina frowned at the gentle rejection. You’re brushing me off.”
“You’re a multi–millionaire CEO. I could never brush you off,” Mia replied, resting her chin in her hands. “But this is my field and I’m determined to make it on my own.”
Despite Mia’s subtle refusals, Selina wrote out a check and handed it over with a flourish. “It’s my choice to offer, and yours to accept. Keep refusing. and we’re not friends anymore
Mia looked at the check, a mix of emotions playing across her face. The room fell silent as they both sipped their coffee.
Evelyn, halfway y through her coffee, noticed the quiet and softly called out to Mr. Carter, who seemed lost in thought. “Mr. Carter?” she prompted.
He snapped out of it and quickly called, “Cut Let’s move on!”
The performance was flawless, leaving everyone on set, including the director and his assistant, in awe
“Wow! Another perfect take someone exclaimed. ‘Is this really Quiana, the one with all the scandals, from the slums!”
“Her acting is top–notch! She’s really got the skills. I can totally see her as Selina how? another commented.
“Why the frown? This scene isn’t that hard“” one crew member challenged
“Not hard! You try it. Quiana got here this morning and only got the script ten minutes before we started. She hadn’t even rehearsed!” another retorted
“What? Seriously! She just nailed that performance in one take?” came the astonished reply.
“She doesn’t seem as bad as the rumors made her out to be…
Jack, the director’s assistant, was equally shocked as he looked at the script. “She didn’t miss a single word!” he marveled.
Quiana had only glanced at the script for a few minutes before filming and hadn’t touched it since. No cue cards were used on set. She nailed every line and delivered an incredible performance. Jack couldn’t believe all this
I been expecting Quiana to stumble and embarrass
Winona’s face soured as she overheard the crew’s changing opinions about Quiana. She had 1 herself
I had taken multiple takes for her and Evelyn to get their scenes right, yer Quiana, despite not having acted in a while and without any rehearsal, nailed both of hers in one go. Winona realized she had seriously underestimated Quiana
Evelyn leaned back, the stress of the scene finally lifting “Quiana, you’re a pro, right? You didn’t actually memorize those lines?” she asked, her voice tinged with admiration
