Chapter 2560 Livid
Although Lara’s younger sister was an acting major, her performance was all skill and lacked emotion. Her facial expressions and movements were very rigid on camera. Most importantly, she was not pretty.
She was the kind of person passersby would not give a second glance at in a crowd.
She had no aptitude for acting.
However, she still put on airs.
She relied on the fact that she was Lara’s sister and was rude to the assistant director.
After taking three shots in a row, the assistant director said nicely, “Let’s take another one?”
Lara’s sister became angry all of a sudden and cried aggrievedly in front of so many people. She even accused the assistant director of bullying her as a newcomer.
The assistant director was stunned and so angry that he could not say a word.
Lara watched from the side and comforted her sister. Then, she went over to the assistant director with a smile.
“Is it not passable? It’s just one scene, so just let it pass if it’s acceptable. After all, it can’t be too good, lest she steals the protagonist’s limelight!”
What else could the assistant director say if Lara already said this?
Thus, the assistant director had no choice but to wrap up this shot and deemed it a failure.
This scene was a memory of the male lead’s first love, who only had to turn around gently and face the camera.
This scene was intended to stun the audience.
As a result, the clip that was filmed was not at all stunning, but almost frightening.
The audience would probably start to doubt the male lead’s taste in women.
The assistant director sighed.
A short break was announced.
Lara led her sister to the side.
Her younger sister grew up pampered and had a higher starting point than others. Her older sister was Lara, so she also had a hot temper.
“Are you tired?”
“I’m not tired, but the crew said that the woman I replaced came in the same car as Eric Ferguson. Do they have a special relationship?”
Younger girls were more sensitive to gossip.
Lara smiled meaningfully and smugly.
“Don’t worry. How could Eric Ferguson be interested in her? She’s just working as a nanny for him now and is only qualified to sit in the passenger seat next to the driver. Look, when I said that you were going to replace her, that woman didn’t even dare to fight back. That’s why you landed the role.”
Her younger sister smiled. “Thanks, Lara.”
“You’re welcome.”
The two were talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very cordial.
Not far away, Mr. Griffin was furious and walked over angrily.
The assistant director quickly stood up. Just as he was about to say something, Mr. Griffin went straight to Lara.
“Mr. Ferguson has withdrawn his investment because your sister snatched Selena’s role. I just received the notice two minutes ago, and now, our shoot is canceled!”
Mr. Griffin’s face and neck were flushed.
He was also regretful.
Eric did not give him any leeway.
It took less than three minutes from when Eric left to when he received the call.
It was clear how serious Eric was.
The investment he landed disappeared.
Thus, he was not so polite to Lara anymore.
If it was not for Lara, how could he have offended Eric?
What the hell!
Lara’s face was stiff and pale from the shock. She stood there helplessly.
“Mr. Griffin, I… Why would Mr. Ferguson help Selena vent her anger? I thought they didn’t have a special relationship. Is it for other reasons?”
Mr. Griffin was so furious that he wanted to jump up and scold her to vent his anger.
“Eric made it clear that he invested in this film because of Selena’s cameo appearance. Since we replaced her, he’ll invest in another film and director. Lara, you’ve been in the industry for so long, but you still haven’t figured it out yet? You offended Eric Ferguson because Selena is his woman. I don’t want to talk about you now. This movie is over, and my efforts are wasted! The entire cast and crew are done for!”
They had to disband on the first day of work.
What a joke!
However, this was exactly what happened.
Mr. Griffin shouted hysterically and did not even know how to save the situation.
Lara stood there with a pale face and was in disbelief.
Her smug look just now disappeared.
Her expression crumbled little by little.
The situation changed so fast that she did not even have time to digest the information.
Her younger sister said nervously, “What? That b*tch is really having an affair with Mr. Ferguson? There are too many examples of nannies hooking up with their employers now. Lara, we’ve been fooled…”
“Shut up! Who are you to be talking about Mr. Ferguson’s private affairs?”
Mr. Griffin was so livid that he was about to explode.
Lara’s sister stood there with an aggrieved face and felt frustrated.
Lara was still calm and settled her mind.
“Director, what should I do? I don’t want anything to happen to our film either. I’m willing to do anything for our cast.”
Lara looked fearless, as if she could sacrifice herself at any time.
Mr. Griffin was not in the mood to pay attention to other things at the moment. Thus, he gritted his teeth.
“You should go to Eric and Selena now and apologize. I don’t care how you do it. You need to make Eric change his mind and let Selena forgive you!”
Lara paused. Her face was glum.
“Okay, I’ll talk it out. At worst, I’ll ask my sister to quit and return the role to Selena.”
“Hah! Stop daydreaming. You have no say in anything even if I replace you with Selena as the female lead. The film can’t stop just because of your stupid mistake!”
Mr. Griffin angrily pointed at her and yelled in front of so many people.
Everyone kept quiet.
Even when Lara was scolded, she did not dare to retort.
Her face turned red and white. It was quite amusing to watch.
At this time, Lara’s manager hurried over with her phone.
It seemed that something big happened.
She ran up to Lara and said nervously, “What’s going on? The next movie that you have a contract with is now replacing you with someone else. All the brand endorsements that you have are also announcing your contract termination online. Everyone is just waiting for you to fail. The netizens dug up all the debts that your ex-husband owed. Even though he was in debt, he still bought you designer bags. It caused such a frenzy!”
Lara felt dizzy for a while.
She was getting old, so she could not take such a blow. She could not accept this sudden change for a while.
It was not easy for her to gain such popularity, and she wanted to strike while the iron was hot and come up with a few good works. Many actresses that were like her in the circle did the same.
How did she get so unlucky?
The manager was so angry that she did not notice so many people were around them.
Now that she realized it, her face turned pale.
Lara’s younger sister cursed.
“It’s all that b*tch Selena’s fault! She bewitched Eric to blacklist you. Who else can be blamed? It’s just a cameo role. I don’t even care for it! Why do they need to be so ruthless?”
