Chapter 162
As she spoke, Sheena considered the actors‘ popularity and how well they suited the roles based on their acting skills and fit for the characters.
“As for the male actors, I’m leaning towards Skye. Although he can be a bit naughty at times, he’s quite serious during filming and has good acting skills. Additionally, Abel and Zion’s appearances also match the two roles…”
After the discussion, Colin agreed as well. “I didn’t expect you and the studio’s representative to be on the same page. Well, it’s getting late. You must be tired after the Moore Group’s event and match.”
Sheena just smiled faintly. Her expression appeared relaxed, but Colin caught a glimpse of tiredness in her eyes. He truly cared about her and added, “Even when you’re busy, remember to take care of yourself. You don’t have to handle everything personally. You should try to assign the tasks or… maybe rely on a man a bit.”
The last part of his statement seemed to hold a hidden meaning. He was about to reach out and pat her shoulder, but she walked toward the sofa, causing him to miss.
Rely on a man?
Had she not learned from her lesson in the past three years?
In this world, besides her own strength, there was no one she could truly depend on.
However, Sheena had no intention of sharing these thoughts with Colin. She simply said, ” Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Colin withdrew his hand dejectedly, exchanged a few more words of concern, and then left the office. Once he was gone, Sheena sank back into the sofa. She was genuinely tired today; giving her all in the match against Brandon had drained her.
Right now, she just wanted to rest quietly on her own.
However, before she could even lie down for five minutes, Wendy knocked on the door again. ‘ Ms. Sheena, there’s a problem on Mr. Zimmer’s end!”
Feeling a bit weary, Sheena mustered her energy and got up from the plush sofa. While listening to Wendy’s report, she drove to the film set.
According to Wendy, the director of this production had a significant reputation and was notorious for his bad temper. He found certain clauses in the contract with Angle Group’s actors to be unreasonable, and he insisted on keeping Skye on set to extend his shooting hours. Skye, of course, would not compromise, and the two of them had a heated argument on
set.
As Sheena arrived at the set, she could already hear the sounds of their quarrel from a distance.
“Do you want me to work as unpaid labor? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose your actions online? Do you want your reputation in the directing world to go down the drain?”
The renowned director, David Torres, was no pushover. He responded with a fake smile, “Mr. Zimmer, I know you’re famous and have the Zimmer family backing you, but I’m not afraid!
Your contract was problematic from the beginning. What’s wrong with me having you shoot a few extra hours? This set belongs to me, and if you don’t cooperate, I’ll edit your behind–the- scenes footage unfavorably and tarnish your image!”
Skye was infuriated by David’s shameless behavior, but he surprisingly refrained from exploding and throwing things.
David had the upper hand and seemed quite pleased. “As a popular rising star, you should understand how crucial public opinion is. I can help you achieve even greater success on this path, but I can just as easily ruin you. Want to give it a try?”
“You’re despicable!”
Instead of getting angry, David seemed to revel in the situation even more, and he burst into laughter. “Hahaha! Who would’ve thought that the infamous brat of the Zimmer family would eventually fall into my hands? Too bad for you. It’s my turn this time, and no one can help you!
Just as he said that, a clear voice rang out at the entrance of the set.
“Is that so? Well, Mr. Torres, I’m sorry to disappoint you!”
All eyes on the set turned toward the entrance to see Sheena, accompanied by Wendy. She approached them with an icy aura, seemingly ready to confront them.
