Chapter 770 Breaching The Contract
“If I find out later on that you're not doing your job well, I'll still consider replacing you with someoneelse,” Donald added. novelbin
“Of course, Mr. Campbell. I understand.”
Right as those words were out of Nikita's mouth, the director at the other end of the room flew into arage.
“Who in the world hired this lousy actress? Not only does she have zero acting skills, but she evenrefuses to listen to me! Where's the assistant director? Get someone to take her place!”
Once the director, Barnaby Holmes, was done with his outburst, he lifted his cup and started sipping onhis coffee.
Xaiden, the assistant director, rushed over and whispered, “Mr. Holmes, Evelyn's an influencer who hasrecently been trending in Pollerton. She's someone Belle hired personally. So—”
“An influencer, my foot! I've never heard of her before. Look at the gown she's wearing. What in theworld is that? She already has little screen time. What do you think the audience is paying the movietickets for? It's so that they can see her legs! Hurry up and talk to her. Find out if she's willing to alterher gown and film the kiss scenes. If she refuses, we'll have to replace her with someone else!”Barnaby interjected.
In the many years of his career as a director, he had seen all kinds of women.
Despite finding Evelyn's appearance and demeanor refreshing, Barnaby was perplexed by her refusalto reveal more of her skin in the film.
Xaiden was at a loss too. He could only walk over to Evelyn, frowning as he advised, “Ms. Shabelle, I'msure you're working with Werner Brothers Studios because you want to have a good piece of work,right? You heard what our director said, yes? If you can't cooperate with us today, then I'm really sorry,but you may need to pay compensation for breaching the contract.”
Upon hearing that she was going to be penalized for breaching the contract, Evelyn nearly burst intotears.
All the money she received had been used to pay her mother's medical bills, so she had no way to forkout the penalty fee.
Right then, Nikita and Donald walked over to them.
Nikita was no longer dissatisfied with Evelyn. Unlike her previously disgruntled attitude toward thelatter, she took a robe and draped it on Evelyn before saying to Xaiden, “Mr. Stone, the contract clearlystates that Evelyn's wishes should be respected, and it was never stated that she has to film kissscenes or reveal her legs. Mr. Stone, you're aware of her public image. Therefore, I fail to see howEvelyn's refusal to do those scenes constitutes a breach of the contract.”
The fact that Nikita confronted him in front of so many members of the film crew caused a wave ofembarrassment to wash over Xaiden.
F*ck, actors and actresses have always shown nothing but respect toward the directors, but why do we
have to listen to Evelyn instead?
Thus, in a grim voice, Xaiden replied, “Of course, I saw the contract, but I never thought that Ms.Shabelle would be such an unprofessional individual. Basically, you're saying that you won't beproviding any fanservice, right?”
“That's right,” Nikita said firmly.
“All right. We won't have any revealing scenes, then. Instead, we'll have fighting scenes.”
Xaiden then took out another script and placed it in Evelyn's hands.
“Ms. Shabelle, please take a good look at the script. We'll be shooting this in the afternoon. Therearen't any revealing scenes in this, but if you still fail to deliver this scene, then we'll take it that you'rebreaching the contract,” he said.
Once he gave the script to Evelyn, he turned around and instructed the other members of the film crewto head for lunch first.
When Evelyn spotted Donald, she sheepishly lowered her head and asked, “Mr. Campbell, what bringsyou here?”
She had been the one who wanted to take on the role, and yet, she was unable to cooperate with thedirectors for the scenes.
Evelyn never wanted to disappoint Donald. That was why she was too embarrassed to face him.
“It's your first day of shooting, after all. Shouldn't I be present?” Donald replied.
