Chapter 431 I Quit
In the next two days, Lucia kept to her schedule and finished the photo shoot on Gransend Mountains.
Due to the fact that she was injured, Paul canceled all his plans for those two days and stayed by her side.
After the three days of shooting were complete on Gransend Mountains, both Lucia and Director Brook were pleased with the progress they were making. The crew then moved to the Deep Alley located at the center of the city to continue the next part of the photo shoot.
With the speed of the progress they were making, the photo shoot would be complete by the end of the month,
As long as the dubbing and editing were up to speed, the whole thing could be released by the beginning of the following month.
With that thought in mind, Lucia found that she wasn't that far off from the agreement she and August made.
Lucia breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. However, not knowing why, she somehow felt a little down. Meanwhile, the matter about Lion Group was still developing. The public opinion online was split in two. One side supported August and the other supported Bishop. The higher official of the company was said to be split in two as well. There were continuous conflicts.
At such times, the only person who could stand forward and be in control was Eliot. However, Eliot had recently left Austos City and went abroad. Ever since he left, there had been no news of him. It was as if he had.
disappeared from the face of the Earth.
Everyone knew that Eliot favored his elder son, August, but Bishop, who was in a wheelchair wasn't a pushover either. He registered Lion Media in a week and invested a huge amount of money. He began to take action.
It was obvious that he was going to fight August to the end.
This meant that things were going to get complicated.
Everyone in Austos City was watching the fun as the sons of an affluent family fought it out. However, Lucia somehow felt a little worried and frustrated when she saw such news.
She even had the same worried feeling during the break times when she was with the crew.
"Ms. Mitchell, there's been a problem.” Viola quickly walked over to her.
Lucia came back to her sense, put away her phone, looked at Viola, who was panting heavily and asked,
"What's the matter?"
"Tamzin said that she doesn't want to continue the shoot.”
"What?" Lucia frowned and stood up. "Where is she?"
Tamzin was someone Lucia selected herself out of a public welfare video. She had just been a normal person in the past. Her identity matched the character of the video that Lucia was shooting, so Lucia chose her.
Recently Lucia had heard about Tamzin complaining about the crew, but she didn't take it to heart. After all,
Tamzin was being paid quite a lot.
Lucia didn't expect Tamzin to continuously make things difficult for her.
Lucia followed Viola into the alleyway. It didn't take her long to see the group of people in the courtyard
Tamzin was in the middle and was surrounded by Director Brook and other members of staff. Director Brook had his brows furrowed and his face was dark
He tried to be as calm as possible. "What conditions do you want? You can just tell us and we can negotiate.
We can try our best to satisfy you... Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "What's going on?"
I
Hearing Lucia's voice, the members of staff stepped aside and made way for her.
Lucia walked forward and looked at Tamzin, who was sitting on the chair and asked, "I've heard that you don't want to continue the shoot anyway, is that so?"
Tamzin cocked her brows, held the fan in her hand and wasn't even looking at Lucia. "That's right. I don't want to continue the shoot anymore.”
Looking at Tamzin's careless attitude, Lucia tried her best to suppress her anger and asked, "Just tell us what you want.”
Lucia had been a director for many years and had bumped into such situations in the past. Most of the times, it would be the actor or actress being arrogant on purpose in an attempt to raise their pay.
Therefore, they would deliberately say that they wanted to quit during a shoot, so that the crew would accept their conditions. Tamzin raised her head a little and put on a disdainful face. "I don't want anything. I just don't want to continue the shoot anymore."
Lucia took a deep breath. "For real? You know how much you have to pay for the breach of contract?"
"I know.” As Tamzin said those words, she took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Lucia. "Here's the money. I already have it ready.”
"You..."
Director Brook was so angry that his face turned pale.
It wouldn't be a big problem to find a new actress to replace Tamzin. The crew wasn't going to come to an end without Tamzin. Moreover, Tamzin was just a nobody who hadn't participated in much shooting in the past.
However, it was just that the crew was halfway through the shoot. There had been scenes where the audience could see Tamzin's face.
If they found someone to replace Tamzin, then everything that they had shot would have to be deleted and they would have to start all over again from the beginning.
This meant that if they found someone to replace Tamzin, all the crew's hard work in the past would be for nothing.
This was what bothered people the most.
Lucia was the most infuriated. If they had to start all over again, then it would be very time- consuming. If that happened, then they would probably not be able to finish the shoot on time. She frowned and looked at Tamzin. Then, she said slowly, “Tamzin, you should know what it means for you to
leave the crew. I'll give you one last chance. You can name your price and we can still talk things
over.” When Tamzin heard those words, she sneered and glanced at Lucia with disdainful eyes. "I'm
not short of money."
Hearing those words, Lucia's eyes darkened a little.
"How can she not be short of money?"
At first, when Lucia was choosing the actress, she had looked into Tamzin's background. That was the reason why Lucia chose Tamzin
It was because of her poor ground, which suited their shooting theme and site that Lucia chose her. However, right now, Tamzin didn't care about the money she had to pay for the breach of contract. She was determined not to continue the shoot.
Something wasn't right.
Lucia took a deep breath and looked coldly at Tamzin. Then she turned and looked at Director Brook, who was standing to one side, and said, "Director Brook, let's have a word."
Pulling Director Brook to one side, Lucia asked with a serious face, "Has there been anything strange about
Tamzin lately?"
Director Brook frowned. "Strange? Nothing much lately. I've just heard her complain lately. I didn't expect her' to actually quit the shoot.”
Lucia's eyes darkened and didn't say anything.
Director Brook said angrily, "It she quit, then we'll have to start all over.”
"It she is determined to quit, there's nothing much we can do," Lucia said indifferently.
Lucia had a point. Everything was written clearly on the contract. If Tamzin was willing to pay the there was nothing they could do about it.
"Are we really going to agree to her request?” asked Director Brook.
"Yes."
There was no other way. money then
Ten minutes later, Director Brook gave the order, and Tamzin actually really paid the money for the breach of contract. She then packed her things and was getting ready to leave.
Everyone in the crew and the other actors and actresses were all complaining. The increase in the amount of work caused everyone to feel unhappy.
Lucia sat there, raised her head and looked at Tamzin, who was packing her things. Then Lucia looked at the
Cartier bracelet on Tamzin's wrist, That was when Lucia's eyes darkened.
Things seemed a little fishy.
Lucia told Director Brook to comfort the people of the crew. After that, she pulled out a hat and jacket from a car nearby. At that point, Tamzin had already finished packing and was about to leave.
Lucia followed closely behind her and was watching her every move.
Tamzin was definitely not someone who was rich, but she had been wearing a lot of luxury accessories and clothes lately. This would make anyone feel suspicious.
Lucia followed Tamzin and saw her walk out of the shooting site. Tamzin then threw away the box she had in her hand into the trash. After doing so, she picked up her phone and made a phone call excitedly before hailing a taxi
Watching Tamzin getting into the car, Lucia also hailed a taxi as well. As soon as Lucia got into the car, she said to the driver, "Please follow the car in front.”
Tamzin wouldn't make such a fuss for no reason, Lucia had to find things out.
