Chapter 1210

Chapter 1210 Acting Skills The moment he finished, Jason turned around and left, leaving Arielle utterly confused.

She didn’t know what she had said to anger him.

Isn’t it normal to suggest rehearsing our lines before filming? Why did he storm off in a huff?

Before Arielle could figure out what was going on, Gracie came over.

“Ms. Moore,” Gracie whispered, “Jason has always been temperamental, so I hope you will understand and don’t take it personally. There’s one more thing that you might find difficult to believe. Even though Jason is a successful influencer with a huge fan base, he wants to make a breakthrough in his acting career and be treated as a serious actor instead.”

Arielle was surprised by Gracie’s words.

She had assumed Jason would milk his popularity to the end before changing his image. Thus, she was astounded to hear that he was already trying to prove himself with his acting skills.

When Gracie saw the disbelief on Arielle’s face, she added, “In fact, Jason has turned down ten high-

paying idol dramas, just to work with Sam on this movie. I’m sure you’re aware of how lucrative such dramas are and how important they are in recruiting fans and cementing their support for him.

However, he refused to listen to my advice and cleared out his entire schedule just to fit this movie in.”

With that, Arielle’s perception of Jason began to shift.

“Nevertheless, he is a sensitive person. Therefore, he might have misconstrued your request to rehearse thinking that you see him as an amateur, hence the anger. In spite of that, please don’t mind him, for he will forget about the matter once he cools down. One good thing about him is that he never holds a grudge.”

Arielle nodded. “I understand. Going forward, I’ll watch my words in front of him.”

“I’m relieved to hear that.” Gracie gave Arielle a smile before returning to Jason’s side.

After glancing at Jason’s silhouette, Arielle tightened her grip on her script while she was in deep thought. Subsequently, she began to memorize the lines in the script.

Soon, every department had completed their preparations and the filming for the first scene began.

The setting was at the entrance of the gym on the second floor of the apartment building.

Dressed in sports attire, Arielle was stopped at the door by Jason, who was playing the fitness instructor.

“I’m sorry, but only owners are allowed to enter.”

Furrowing her brows, Arielle snapped, “Why? I live here too. Isn’t this gym open to all residents?”

Jason replied in an apologetic yet contemptuous tone, “The equipment for public use inside the gym has been moved out to the playground. Everything left in here was paid for by the owners. Since you’re just a tenant… You’ll have to excuse me.”

“But isn’t this apartment…”

Just when both of them were about to get into an argument, a sudden scream was heard from the direction of the elevator. Shocked, they turned to look in unison.

“Cut!” Sam’s voice rang out as he led the applause. “Good job! We got it in one take.”

Sighing in relief, Arielle snuck a glance at Jason.

Gracie is right. Jason’s acting looks natural. Also, I can feel the amount of effort he puts into his performance.

Compared to Arielle, Jason was even more amazed.

He had assumed Sam chose her for her beauty and didn’t expect her to be such a good actress.

As an actor, he had worked with many other actresses. Nonetheless, this was the first time he had seen an actress who could perform flawlessly on her very first take.
