The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2216

"Your next scene is with Miss Tracy..." mumbled the girl hesitantly.

Melody smiled understandingly. No wonder the young girl felt uneasy. Perhaps she was worried Melody would take out her frustration on her. However, Melody was not that kind of person. She gestured for the girl to leave.

"You go ahead. I'll be there in a moment."

Seeing that Melody had no intention of scolding her, the girl relaxed and left with a sigh. They were the most innocent in these kinds of situations, yet A-list actors and actresses would more often than not treat them as punching bags.

Later, the assistants of those A-list actors and actresses would come back with gifts to bribe the crew members, claiming that it was just a pure accident that they happened to be the target of their anger. However, with such occurrences becoming more frequent, it had become normal for the crew members to approach those A-list actors and actresses with trepidation whenever they had bad news. Usually, such news was delivered by temporary staff.

Melody remained calm. When it came to acting, she still had confidence. She had an innate talent for it, after all. Thus, she did not believe that Tracy having more screen time could overshadow her. Originally, the scene they were filming together was a highly tense and explosive one. However, after some minor adjustments by the scriptwriter, Tracy's role received more screen time than Melody's. Still, the scriptwriter was not someone to be easily manipulated. She was very unhappy about the rewrite since she thought that scene was over and done with. Thus, she took matters into her own hands and made subtle changes to make Tracy's character less likable.

In the movie, although Hailey played a side character, she was integral to the romantic subplot between Athena and Dieter. Their friendship arc was also a crucial element.

It was safe to assume that if Tracy had not caused such a disturbance, she would have gained a wave of fans when the movie was released. Combined with her genuinely good acting skills, she could have had a promising future.

However, the entire cast and crew developed a negative impression of her after the entire fiasco she created. Shaun would certainly not be willing to recommend resources to her in the future. Most of the crew members felt that Tracy had been extremely foolish.

Yet, Tracy still did not think she had done anything wrong. After all, she was well aware that the entire cast and crew would not have treated her with the same deference if she had not leaked those videos. Coupled with the fact that her screen time far surpassed Melody's, she felt like her actions had been justified. Tracy wanted the fans and the audience to see how she was gradually surpassing Melody, stepping on her along the way.

Even before the official filming began, Shaun had called Tracy aside for a private talk.

"If you want to act well in this movie, please tone down the arrogance and hostility on your face. Athena and Hailey have grown up together since childhood, and they're each other's most important person. So how could Hailey behave aggressively toward Athena?" said Shaun with a deep frown.

He could tolerate Tracy continuing to be part of his production, but he could not tolerate her acting skills ruining the entire movie.

The early preparations for this film took Shaun a considerable amount of time, and securing investments drained a significant amount of his energy as well.

He had invested a great deal of passion into 'War Song' and hoped to win over the audiences' hearts with it. It was precisely because of all these reasons that he could not tolerate anyone ruining the movie.
