Chapter 147
Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)
Chapter 147 Many in the crew felt bad for her, but she herself didnât seem to care.
The scene was an aerial one, requiring harnesses and even included a part where she had to jump into water from several meters high.
The postâproduction effects will surely be magical, but for now, she had to just suck it up and take the plunge.
As soon as she stood on the prop tree, Helena.began to regret it. After the director shouted âActionâ, Helena did not move for a long time. She huddled up on the tree, trembling nonâstop.
The director was already a little dissatisfied with Helena, and suddenly became emotional, âWhatâs the problem? Jump! Why arenât you jumping?â
Clutching the tree trunk tightly, Helena was shaking like a leaf, âDirector, let the stunt double do it. I...Iâm scared of heights and water, I canât shoot!â
âWhat were you saying when you were filming this scene at dawn, when it was time to shoot this scene? You said youâd do it yourself, no need for a stunt double! Either jump now or weâll replace you!â Carlosâs words left Helena green in the face.
This scene was the most impressive in the script. While it might seem plain while shooting, the postâproduction effects would be mindâblowing. She couldnât let Astrid steal this opportunity to shine.
With that thought, she gathered her courage to look down again. But as soon as she saw what was below, she started shaking uncontrollably.
She tried hard to convince herself not to be scared, but her grip on the tree just got tighter.
After a few more minutes, Carlos lost his patience and shouted, âNext!â
âDirector, you canât replace me, remember what you promised Mr. Dalton?â Many on set were not pleased with her impertinence.
The mention of this made Carlos very angry. If it wasnât for Mr. Dalton threatening to pull funding, he never would have agreed to give the leading ladyâs scenes to the second lead.
Without the Dalton Groupâs investment, he wouldnât find replacement investors in time and the crewâs work would come to a halt. After all, the Dalton Group was the biggest investor, owning sixty percent of the shares and naturally had the biggest say.
Carlos had high hopes for Astrid, but didnât expect Helena to mess things up. He was furious.
Just then, his phone rang.

ï¤Chapter 4596 He was in a bad mood and didnât pick up.
To his surprise, the number called again.
Sitting in his chair, he answered the phone with a frown, âHello?â
âIs this Carlos? Iâm Chad, the CEO of ForgeFire Games. Iâm interested in your upcoming movie, Mystic Mysteries. Our board of directors unanimously decided to invest in your movie...â
Carlos stood up from his chair in shock, âForgeFire Games?â
Just two and a half years ago, Forge Fire Games was a young gaming company.
Their first major online game quickly became the leader in the gaming industry. The games they continued to release were loved by gamers of all ages. Last year, ForgeFire Games successfully went public and now theyâre one of the top three gaming groups in the world.
Despite his surprise, Mr. Carlos wasnât going to believe him just because he said so, âIâm sorry, but I canât confirm your identity.â
Chad: âIâve already posted the news of our investment in your movie on our official account. Iâve also emailed the contract to you. If youâre okay with the investment amount, we can sign it right away.â
