Chapter 651
Brenda turned around in surprise. She did not expect Sawyer to praise Kelly. She was in disbelief. “I didn’t expect your acting skills to be so good.”
Kelly waved her hand humbly and smiled. “In terms of acting skills, I’m still not skilled enough. My scenes are mainly action scenes, which don’t have high requirements for acting skills.”
“I see.” Brenda nodded.
She wondered, ‘I knew it. Kelly isn’t a professional at all. She just relied on Mr. Walter’s power to join the production crew. How could she have any acting skills?‘
“It doesn’t matter if your acting skills are bad. You’ll keep practicing. What matters is your attitude,” Brenda instructed her condescendingly. “Your attitude is not bad. If you’re not afraid of hardship or tiredness, diligence can make up for your lack of talent. Look, Mr. Lester has a good impression of you now.”
She instructed in a low voice, “When we see Mr. Lester later, you have to act properly. Lower yourself and don’t forget to please Mr. Lester.”
Kelly was originally walking in front. When she heard this, she turned around and glanced at Brenda. “I really didn’t expect you to have such a side.”
She thought that Brenda had always been proud and arrogant. She didn’t expect her to have such a fawning side.
“What side?” Brenda didn’t understand.
“Nothing.” Kelly did not want to explain too much.
Suddenly, she felt less for Brenda.
It was not that she looked down on Brenda, but she thought of how Brenda had treated her indifferently and condescendingly before.
Kelly had always thought that Brenda’s personality was unpredictable because she was sick and in poor health.
Because Kelly had just reunited with her family, she didn’t know how to interact with them. She just wanted to give in and make them happy.
Unexpectedly, Brenda’only treated her so indifferently.
Brenda’s personality wasn’t ever–changing at all. Instead, she treated people differently according to their status.
Kelly led Brenda to Sawyer and introduced her. “Mr. Lester, this is my sister, Brenda.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lester.” Brenda shook Sawyer’s hand and said, “I’m sorry that Kelly has caused you trouble. She didn’t study in the film institute and doesn’t have much acting skills. You’re an amazing director. I can’t thank you enough for guiding her.”
“You’re too courteous.” Sawyer waved his hand. “Kelly is a great talent. She can have her acting skills improved with just some enlightenment.”
Kelly couldn’t be bothered to listen to the small talk between Brenda and Sawyer. She said directly, “I’ll go and rehearse the next scene with Miss Stanton. The next scene is my rival show with her. I’ll leave the room to you guys now.’
Sawyer remembered that the next scene was Vera Stanton’s death in Kelly’s arms. It was very important and also a test of acting skills.
He immediately nodded. “Go ahead.”
After Kelly left, Brenda apologized to Sawyer in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lester. My sister doesn’t have high EQ and doesn’t know how to deal with people. Please don’t take offense.”
“Huh?” Sawyer turned to look at Brenda and was a little surprised. “Why do you say that? Kelly is very smart and good at acting. You don’t have to always apologize for her.”
Brenda lowered her head and said nothing.
Later on, she chatted with Sawyer for a while, but Sawyer did not really want to talk to her.
Brenda got anxious and thought, “This won’t do. I need to find another way.’”
After some thought, she said, “Mr. Lester, actually, I have another reason for coming here this time.”
Sawyer looked up with curiosity in his eyes.
Brenda sighed and pretended to be troubled. “I know that Kelly joined the production crew due to someone’s help. You didn’t really want her. When I found out about this, Kelly had already entered the crew, which became a sure thing.
“This girl has great ambitions. She’s reckless and fearless.
“I’m here this time to apologize to you for this matter. Secondly, I want to assure you that you don’t have to be afraid of offending the power behind Kelly. You’ll just lecture her as you see fit. If she doesn’t listen to your orders and her acting skills aren’t up to standard, just tell me and I’ll take her away.
“I know that this movie is very important to you. You must strive for perfection. If Kelly is not suitable, just chase her away. We will definitely not make trouble.”
Sawyer didn’t know what to say.
‘What is Brenda talking about? It’s so confusing.
Worried that there might be a misunderstanding, Sawyer did not continue the conversation. He only nodded. “Miss Brenda, you’re being overwrought. Kelly’s acting skills are amazing. Not only did she not cause any trouble, but she’s also an important part of the movie.”
Speaking of this, Sawyer no longer bothered with Brenda. Instead, he called the staff to prepare the scene.
Brenda did not receive Sawyer’s shocked and grateful gaze. She was quite anxious.
However, she did not dare to disturb Sawyer’s filming. She could only stand at the side and think to herself.
The next scene was Kelly’s scene. If Kelly did not perform well, Brenda could scold her. Brenda thought that as long as she expressed her attitude and firmly took Sawyer’s side, Sawyer would definitely be grateful to her.
The next scene was about to begin.
Vera’s character took a bullet for Kelly’s and fell into her arms.
Kelly’s character was quite stunned. She did not react for a moment and touched the blood on her face in a daze.
Brenda watched from the side. The more she watched, the more she frowned.
She thought to herself, ‘Kelly really has no acting skills. What is she doing? Why is she stunned on the spot?‘
She wanted to scold Kelly, but when she saw that the people around her did not react and continued to film, she held back her scolding.
Up ahead, Kelly was still in a daze as if time had frozen. Then, she suddenly broke down.
She was like an enraged lion, shooting crazily with the gun in her arms. Then, she ran to Vera and hugged her corpse as she wailed. She didn’t cry out loud or shed tears, but her sorrow was obvious and touching.
Brenda stood rooted to the ground, completely stunned. She did not speak for a long time.
When a tear fell from the corner of Kelly’s eye, Brenda suddenly came back to her senses.
She touched her face. Unknowingly, her face was already covered in tears.
“Cut!” Sawyer waved his hand. He was so excited that he was incoherent. “Amazing. Just amazing. Kelly, you’ve completely displayed the essence of the role!”
The character played by Kelly was a tough young girl. She had no human. emotions and merely focused on fighting and killing. She was like a killing machine.
Vera’s death touched her and brought her emotions for the first time.
This sudden change in personality required a lot of acting skills. Kelly needed to make her emotional breakdown sudden, and she needed to make it seem real.
Sawyer was already prepared to keep redoing the scene for a day, but he did not expect Kelly to give him such a big surprise. She actually made it in one go.
“She acted so well!” Sawyer was full of praise. “She’s just like a tough young girl.”
The assistant director at the side complimented, “Kelly deserves to be the female lead you appointed. How can she not be good?”
Standing at the side, Brenda widened her eyes in great shock.
At this moment, all the sounds in the surroundings seemed to have disappeared. She could only hear what the assistant director said. ‘Kelly deserves to be the female lead you appointed!
‘She was appointed!
‘Kelly actually didn’t get into the crew with Mr. Walter’s help. She was appointed by Mr. Lester!‘
In an instant, Brenda felt as if she had been slapped in the face, which was burning. Thinking of her previous words, she really wished she could find a hole to hide in.
