Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 35

With the director’s “Action””

Suddenly, Eileen, who had been very casual, became serious and began interacting with Bartley

Five minutes later, Lenwood called the first “Cut”.

All the staff on the scene instantly turned their attention to the pair. After a while, Lenwood said in a somewhat heavy tone, “Bartley, come over here.”

Bartley got off the stage with an ugly expression on his face. Lenwood pointed at the image on the monitor, patiently explained to him, and Bartley quickly understood his poor performance, lie nodded humbly and accepted the advice.

After a while, Lenwood picked up a megaphone and said, “Alright, let’s do it again” Then he said to Eileen, “Eileen, you were in the right state just now Please try to maintain it. If you can’t, it’s okay to make some mistakes. We can edit your performance.”

Eileen nodded, understanding the roughness of such low-cost web drama production, which also had lower requirements for actors.

Then they started the second take, but the result was still unsatisfactory, and Bartley was the one who made the mistake again.

Bartley was diligent, hardworking, and tried his best. But as a newcomer, his lack of experience caused him to be easily nervous in front of the camera, creating many problems.

Due to Bartley’s mistakes, this shot had to be cut six times. Lenwood didnt expect that such a simple scene between the male and female leads would be delayed for so long. After the seventh take was finally successful, Lenwood himself breathed a sigh of relief.

He was reviewing the previous video when he suddenly felt something was off. Upon closer comparison, he realized that Eileen had maintained the highest standards throughout the previous six takes. This surprised Lenwood. Both were newcomers, but while Bartley disrupted the shooting several times, Eileen displayed such strong stability and emotional control.

However, this was just a simple scene between the male and female leads, so being stable wasn’t considered difficult,
