The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2066

Late at night, when Lucas returned to the room, Melody was already asleep, holding the script in her arms. After Lucas covered her with a blanket, he got onto the bed and fell asleep as well. Lucas left for the company early the next morning. Not long after, Melody got out of bed.

Melody had a lot of scenes to film this morning, so she had to get up early to have a cup of black coffee to reduce the swelling, or her face would be swollen when the first scene started shooting. Despite Shaun repeatedly insisting that she looked good even without makeup and could go to the movie set barefaced, Melody was not willing to slack off. Being a newcomer, she wanted to present herself in the most perfect way to everyone.

She never thought she could become an actress, but she genuinely fell in love with acting. She enjoyed giving her all to portray another person. Standing in front of the camera, she could forget all the troubles -whether it was the pile of debts or emotional distress.

"Alright, let's go! Three cameras at once, action!"

Shaun and the producer watched Melody through the lens.

It was a scene in the rain. Despite Melody apologizing repeatedly in the morning for her slightly swollen face, Shaun tirelessly reassured her that as long as she appeared on camera, it would be okay since her acting would do all the talking.

"Oh my, I haven't seen such a talented actress in many years," exclaimed the producer while pulling out a cigarette.

For those in their line of work, working through the night was a common occurrence, and nicotine was needed to stay alert sometimes.

Shaun's expression showed obvious satisfaction; encountering such a promising talent was as rare as winning the lottery.

"I agree. More importantly, she's not just acting. It's like she's the female lead herself whenever the cameras are pointed at her. Hey, don't smoke! Mister Lucas said Melody doesn't like the smell of smoke." Upon hearing Lucas' name, the producer awkwardly twisted the cigarette in his hand, his habit overcoming his craving. He actually felt more at ease knowing that Melody-a promising actress-had someone like Lucas supporting her. After all, non-professional actors and actresses might end up a flash in the pan, something they did not want to see happening to Melody.

Moreover, it was Lucas, a solid backing. Melody's future seemed boundless.

"Okay, cut. First take!"

As soon as the camera stopped shooting, someone approached to wipe the rain off Melody, and she was ushered by the other people to check the previous shots.

The producer could not help but smile and ask, "Has anyone counted how many times our leading lady has nailed Shaun's shots in one take? Passing other directors' shots in one take is easy, but passing Shaun's shots in one take is difficult. Consistently passing Shaun's shots is even more challenging, but Melody did it! Her scenes were shot quickly, accurately, and efficiently, sparing everyone from unnecessary stress."

"That's why we all love shooting scenes with Melody!"

Everyone laughed, earning Melody's bashful smile. She still felt a bit uncomfortable in such situations. She was unsure about what to say, but she always found the right balance.

"Hey! Here comes Miss Stella with coffee deliveries again!"

Everyone knew Melody's personality and was aware of the influential figure behind her. She did not feel like socializing with everyone, and who could force her to do so? The atmosphere became livelier as Stella brought more things to the set.
