2/2 Rebirth of a topped Actress: Career First Love Seco Chapter 156 A Smooth Talker Finished Amelia froze, stunned. The stinging pain on her cheek hadnât even subsided, and now they were going to reshoot.
âMr. Jos! Wait a moment!â Daisy grabbed Amelia and rearched over to Jos, pointing at Ameliaâs cheek, now emblazoned with a vivid handprint.
âMr. Jos, look at this! Olivia has practically disfigured Amelia! How can we reshoot like this?â
It was the first time Jos had encountered an actor who complained about a scene being too realistic.
Glancing at the handprint on Ameliaâs face, Jos said, âTake her down to touch up her makeup. Cover the mark.â
Daisy blinked, momentarily caught off guard by his nonchalant response.
âMr. Jos, Ameliaâs face is crucial. This kind of treatment is too much! And now youâre asking for a reshoot? Does that mean she has to take another hit? Thatâs absolutely unacceptable!â
Jos brows furrowed slightly. âSo, what do you propose?
Daisy pressed on, âEither use camera tricks or fake the hit, but this canât go on like this.â
Jos, who had spent most of his career directing period dramas filled with fight scenes, wasnât impressed.
Not to mention slaps, actors in his productions had routinely endured bruises and injuries in the name of authenticity. The idea of an agent making such a fuss had never even crossed his mind.
âWhoâs the director here, me or you? If you canât handle it, then leave.â
Daisy hadnât expected Jos to be so unyielding and was momentarily stunned.
Amelia, still cradling her check, saw Josâ temper flaring and quickly intervened. âMr. Jos, please donât take it the wrong way.
Daisy didnât mean it like that.â
Jos held a significant standing in the industry, and this was his first modern drama. Amelia couldnât afford to miss such an opportunity..
Daisy, unwilling to clash directly with Jos, turned her attention to Olivia, her face darkening. âMr. Jos is absolutely right to prioritize realism, but Olivia, your strike was far too heavy! Who hits someone like that?â
Amelia said nothing, only covering her face with a faintly aggrieved expression and a forced smile.
na Olivia, unfazed by Daisyâs aggression, blinked innocently. âOh, Iâm so sorry! Iâm a rookie, and I got too inte the scene. I didnât know how to hold back...â
Daisy was about to retort, but Olivia added, âItâs really my fault. Before this, I didnât even understand how to act properly.
Thankfully, Mr. Jos has guided me so much during this production, and Iâve learned a lot from him.â
Hearing Oliviaâs words, Jos couldnât help but lift his chin slightly.
16 09:47 Wed, Jan 8 Chapter 156 A Smooth Talker Fiecard Yet, under his direction, her acting was flawless, proof that her potential hadnât been tapped by those incompetent directors.
Clearly, Jos was the true talent scout here!
Amelia watched helplessly as Josâ expression shifted from anger satisfaction, almost spitting blood in frustration.
They had been criticizing Olivia for being too heavyâhanded, but with a quick change of tone, Olivia had turned the situation into a compliment for Jos.
When did Olivia get so smoothâtalking?
Daisy tried to speak up again, but Amelia stopped her.
Amelia had figured it out. If Daisy kept pushing the issue, it would only annoy Jos further.
Swallowing her anger, Amelia had no choice but to head off for a makeup touchâup.
As she left, she glanced back at Olivia, who was now chatting amicably with Jos.
Even a renowned director was wrapped around Oliviaâs finger.
If Amelia hadnât seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it impossible to connect Olivia with the meek and submissive girl she used to know.
