Seeing Vera erge from the Changing Room, Daffa Perkin slapped his thigh. "Beautiful, truly beautiful! Co on, I’ll take you to the director so he can see you."
This director was also a well-known figure in the country. He was rising from his chair, his face like thunder.
"Director Song, take a look... what do you think?" Daffa Perkin parted the crowd and pulled Vera in front of Director Song. "Look at her appearance, her deanor—so pure and adorable. She absolutely fits the role."
A minor actor had stalled the entire crew’s progress, so it went without saying that the director was furious. Hearing Daffa Perkin had found a newcor, he frowned and turned to look at Vera.
Vera raised the corners of her lips into a polite smile. "Hello, Director Song."
The young lady wore a blue blouse, a black skirt, white socks, and small black leather shoes. Her bangs were cut neatly to her eyebrows, and the makeup artist had styled her long hair into two pigtails. With light makeup on her delicate, doll-like face, she exuded an indescribable purity.
However, the girl showed none of the timidity common in young actors. Instead, she had the fearless spirit of a newborn calf confronting a tiger. Moreover, she exuded a noble aura, clearly indicating she wasn’t from a humble background. She truly fit the character’s requirents for the drama.
Upon seeing her, Director Song’s stern expression softened slightly. "Have you morized your lines?"
Nearby, Daffa Perkin gave Vera a subtle look. He had already gone over the scene with her during makeup. There were only a few lines, and Vera, having morized them long ago, recited them imdiately.
Director Song seed quite satisfied and nodded. "Let’s do a test shot."
Daffa Perkin breathed a huge sigh of relief. "Alright everyone, prepare for the test shot!"
The plot of this scene was as follows: Vera was to hide the injured Male Lead Two in her room. Female Lead Two, playing a household concubine, would co searching. After discovering clues and then Male Lead Two, Vera would be stabbed to death by Female Lead Two with a dagger while trying to protect him.
As the director began preparations, the actors playing Male Lead Two and Female Lead Two, who were resting in another room, were called out.
Seeing the two erge, rlin Bradley was already beside herself with excitent. "Vera, look! They’re here, they’re here! It’s Logan Miles and Maggie Clarke!"
Maggie Clarke?!
Upon hearing this na, Vera frowned. It can’t be this unlucky, can it? Why her?!
She looked up. Sure enough, the woman in the purple cheongsam playing the concubine and female spy—despite the heavy makeup—was instantly recognizable as Maggie Clarke.
Vera silently cursed her bad luck. Daffa Perkin was already beckoning to her from the side. "Vera, hurry over here!"
The duck was already on the spit. Vera had no ti for second thoughts and hurried over.
Maggie Clarke had been talking to Logan Miles at the door. Now, she turned, her gaze falling on Vera. She was montarily stunned, but upon recognizing Vera, her eyes turned cold.
So, it was *this* little girl!
The makeup artist ca over to touch up their makeup, and the other staff mbers quickly took their positions. Daffa Perkin also pulled Vera into the room.
"Action!" With the director’s command, filming officially began.
Logan Miles, playing Male Lead One, imdiately entered the scene, clutching a wound on his chest. He ran, glancing behind him, and finally collapsed near Vera’s door, seemingly from exhaustion.
Vera heard the noise, opened her door, and rushed out. Seeing Logan Miles on the ground, she hurried over to him. "Mr. Miles, are you alright?!"
"Soone is... following !" Logan Miles managed to say, his voice strained.
Vera glanced around, a panicked expression on her face. She quickly helped him up, supported him into her room, and shut the door.
Then, Maggie Clarke, playing Female Lead Two, made her entrance.
