Melody paused in the midst of drying her hair. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her assistant, with a straightforward temperament, became angry.

'How could they expect someone who's naturally afraid of water to hold her breath in the deep sea?' she thought.

After all, at the end of the day, acting was just like any other job. The fans' love and support were just another bonus. Thus, there was no need for Melody to risk her life for a mere job, was there?

Moreover, she was well aware that when Melody was submerged in the sea, it was not as simple as willing herself not to panic to get over it. Every second under the water felt like a year to Melody-not to mention, the extreme fear that came with it. How could she possibly control her own actions?

What Tracy said was not only hurtful but uncalled for. Tracy might not fear being in bodies of water, but unfortunately, she was not the female lead.

Melody stopped her assistant. She knew her assistant was looking out for her, and that she was the only one willing to stand up for her.

However, the assistant's role was, after all, that of an assistant, and her position was still relatively low. Melody was not sure if she had the power to protect the assistant from potential harm.

Faced with Tracy's provocation, Melody would rather endure the frustration than let her assistant take risks for her.

"You should just tell Mister Shaun if you can't do that scene. No need to pretend you can do it and waste everyone's time here. Drying hair takes time, too."

To fully recreate the shooting conditions, Melody had to blow-dry her hair over and over.

At that moment, Shaun also walked over with a concerned expression.

"Don't listen to what others say. You should just stick to what you want. Just know that your safety is the most important," he said.

He wished he would not have to use any stunt double scenes in his film, but compromises had to be made when it came to the cast's safety. He was not an old-fashioned director who would force Melody to learn how to swim.

After all, the well-being of the cast was of the utmost importance. Only then could they go further.

Melody took a deep breath, wiped her hair, and nodded in understanding. "Don't worry. I won't force myself. Give me another five minutes, and I'll give you a definite answer."

Shaun nodded, allowing her the time she needed. As for the others, they were asked to stay put and take a break.

"How about this? We can shoot a few more scenes, or have Melody act out the scene where she falls into the sea and then use the stunt double for the underwater shots. This way, we can ensure the maximum flow to the scenes."

Shaun took a deep drag of his cigarette. "You think I haven't thought of that? Honestly, at this point, I've realized the downside of having such a unique lead actress! The stunt doubles might have better skills, looks, and figures than Melody, but they just lack a little something when compared to her. Especially on screen, the difference is more than noticeable.

"Melody not only has beauty but also a distinct aura that's uniquely hers, so the audience will know we've used a stunt double. But when worse comes to worse, we'll use a stunt double. That's better than killing off our lead actress."

The producer chuckled and patted Shaun's shoulder. "You're not afraid of getting others worked up with that statement, are you? You should be happy that you have such a reliable and capable lead actress. "After this film is done, I want to have a chat with Melody. I've come across a script recently, and if she's willing to continue working together-"

A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he thought about the potential success of the film after its release.

"I hope she agrees to collaborate with me."

Shaun extinguished his cigarette. "She'll definitely say yes as long as your script is good enough."
