Chapter 1966: Abby’s Progress

Angel took two steps forward, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Anton Miller and extended an invitation, "Anton Ford, should we try it first too? Our scene is kind of difficult."

The man collected his thoughts, and with cold eyes, he looked at her, "Try what?" as if he had no interest in her.

"The scene we’re about to shoot, should we discuss it first? It’s a bit challenging to get it right in one go. After all, the movements are broad, and if we’re not in sync, it can be a bit dangerous. Capturing beauty from all angles isn’t easy."

Before Anton Miller could speak, the director turned to look at them, "Anton, Angel, you two come over here!" He gestured for them to come while walking over.

Anton Miller, with his hands in his pockets, looked at the director and then started walking towards him.

Angel picked up her intricate evening gown and followed.

The sprawling villa was spacious and beautiful, with a shimmering large swimming pool in the backyard. When the lights were on, and the horizon was painted with the sunset, it looked even more stunning.

"Angel, remember this spot, you’ll need to twist your ankle here later," the director said as he guided her to the poolside for a mark.

Angel nodded, listening intently.

The director gave on-the-spot instructions, "Then you need to turn your body to the left, then lean back directly, and open your arms as wide as possible. Don’t struggle randomly; you need to manage your facial expressions, and your eyes can be wide open."

Angel nodded and memorized the spot seriously, imagining the scene in her mind—it was going to be particularly beautiful.

"Anton, you need to reach out with your right hand and catch her by the waist. Apply a bit of force; control your own facial expressions," the director demonstrated an action, "The only thing you need to be careful of is not stepping on her gown, to prevent both of you from falling into the pool."

Anton Miller nodded, seriously listening as well.

Soon, the time was right, as it was just the perfect night to start shooting the first scene.

"Action! Action! All departments get ready!" The director clapped his hands and walked towards the camera not far away.

"Scene 10, take 8, Abby Sawyer and Mason Hayes get ready!"

"Coming!"

The two actors chatting not far away started walking over, Mason Hayes looked at her face, "Abby, I feel like you’re not a newbie at all; you have a high sense of understanding."

"You flatter me. Working with such excellent actors like you all makes me nervous. I can only memorize the script in advance and make sure not to hold anyone back."

"As long as you’re not nervous, we’ll aim to get it right in one go." He encouraged her.

At this moment, many extras were ready as well. Everyone was dressed lavishly, with exquisite makeup, becoming part of the charitable gala, all having wealthy or high-status backgrounds.

Each holding a wine glass, they chatted and laughed, with classical music lingering in the air.

The party at the large villa had a very complete atmosphere—high-end, grand, and luxurious.

"Abby Sawyer, you will exit from here, try to keep to the right. When Mason enters, he’s supposed to bump into your shoulder, and the wine in your glass needs to spill onto Mason’s shirt. Just make sure it doesn’t get on his face." The director gave the final instructions.

"Understood." Abby nodded, having just discussed how to capture the beauty with Mason.

Not far away, Anton Miller was also holding a wine glass, occasionally glancing over at the two of them, as if supervising.

As the leading male, he would naturally appear in this scene, though this particular shot didn’t involve him.

The close-up depicted Telma and Albie’s first meeting.

The segment officially started shooting, and since they had rehearsed earlier, Mason, who was quite approachable, wasn’t hard to work with, so Abby didn’t feel pressured during the shoot.

This was probably what was meant by being on the same wavelength, thus they got it in one take.

The set erupted in applause, and the director directly praised—

"Abby, you’re improving more and more. Please keep up the good work!"
