Chapter 166
Love Is Fair
Chapter 166 Haileyâs Eyes Jeremy got nervous and asked Hailey what was wrong. He had a hunch that it had something to do with Dorian. Hailey just told him to take care of Dorian at the hospital, and then she took Chris and Erica to the set. Watching them leave, Jeremy was a little frustrated. He couldnât do anything to help and had to let Hailey take care of everything. He must be a child in Haileyâs eyes.
With Ericaâs statement and Chrisâ investigation, it was clear how Dorianâs leg was injured. The movie was a costume action film called Bright Moon on the Sea directed by the talented director Dion Glover, which combines many elements such as martial arts, royalty, suspense, action, and romance. At the beginning of the Minitan dynasty, King William succeeded to the throne. His two uncles, King Edward and King Carney, wanted to usurp the throne by virtue of their contributions. King Edward ordered his adopted son Richard Felton to join the Royal Guard and become King Williamâs bodyguard to assassinate him. In order to recreate the scene of King Edwardâs training of the soldiers, the crew traveled thousands of miles to Diverous Mountain. Dorian played Richard Felton, King Edwardâs adopted son and head of the Royal Guard. It was an important role for him after he became an actor.
Bright Moon on the Sea was the first movie that Dion directed after he came back and was financed by Southern Star Entertainment. As a result, many of Southern Star Entertainmentâs artists were involved.
Dorian had just joined Southern Star Entertainment. Hailey had wanted him to play Richardâs junior Timothy Craig because he was as indifferent and adorable as Dorian, but after three screen tests, Dion decided to cast Dorian as the more complex Richard and cast Henric Clark, who played Richard, as Timothy. It was common for directors to recast. Many actors wanted to play the lead role and Dion finally decided to cast Glenn Harris, an actor as famous as Randal, as King William, but Henric was resentful and pushed Dorian during a fight scene on the mountain, causing him to roll down. Accidents were common in fight scenes. Henric had been a stunt double and should be doing a good job, but it still happened. There was nothing unusual in the surveillance video. Henric was recently popular and was recommended by the producer. He was usually humble and kind, so no one blamed him. They were used to such accidents and didnât want to be involved. Dorian was hospitalized, but filming had to continue. If his leg didnât heal, he would be replaced by someone else. When Hailey arrived on set, they were shooting a night scene about Timothy and King Edward, which was also Timothyâs highlight of the movie. In the artificial rain, the crew was shooting intensely. Hailey, as the investor, just stood in the corner in silence. âCut!â
Dion frowned solemnly behind the monitor and shouted into the speaker, âTimothy, youâre going to avenge Richard, not die for him. You donât have to act so fortitude!â âSorry, director.â Henric adjusted his facial expression and rolled again and again in the mud with his sword. Two scenes later, he finally passed. As soon as it was over, his assistant handed him a towel and hot water. Henric took them and handed them to the middle-aged actor who played King Edward. They chatted happily for a while and it seemed very cordial. Technically, such a gentleman shouldnât be so mean. Hailey went around the back and said hello to Dion. Henric was chatting with the middle-aged actor. His agent, Jodie Hovland, approached and winked at him. âThe investor is here. The one sitting next to the director.â Henric turned his head and saw a beautiful woman sitting next to the director in a black and white business suit. Dion was dignified, but the slender woman was not outdone at all, more surprisingly, Dion was smiling at her like she was his own daughter. Henric narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Jodie in as calm a tone as possible, âIs that the new president of Southern Star Entertainment?â
âYes, the whole Crystaldale is hers. Sheâs Ms. Newman, the one who brought Artistic Talent down some time ago and the heir to Crystaldale.â Henric said flatly, âOh, she recommended Dorian, didnât she?â âYeah, she invested in the movie.â Jodie patted him on the shoulder. âYouâre done working for the day. Have the makeup artist remove your makeup. Iâll take you to say hello to her.â
Hailey was no stranger to the set, Southern Star Entertainment was founded by her mother. She was free until she was kidnapped. At least her parents would take her out sometimes. She preferred to follow her mother to the set to see all the weird and wonderful things than go to company meetings and school lectures with her father, Dion remembered Hailey as a child and raised his hand âYou were so small at the time. You used to sit on my lap and do what actors do. I suggested to your mom that you become an actress, but she retused.â
Hailey joked, âMy mom thought I was ugly so she focused on Randal.â Dion laughed out loud. âYou donât look as pretty as you did. You were cute as a doll when you were a kid.â Hailey frowned. âDion.â
Dion hurriedly corrected himself, âOf course, youâre cute now too.â As they chatted, Jodie walked up with Henric with a flattering smile on his face. âHello, Ms. Newman, Iâm Jodie Hovland, Henricâs agent.
Nice to meet you.â Hailey turned her head and saw Henric behind him. âHello, Ms. Newman.â Henric held out his hand to Hailey, but Hailey just glanced at him. He immediately felt like his heart had been pierced by an ice pick. The look in her eyes was horrible.
