Chapter 902: Chapter 901: The One Acting With Her Is Actually Him

Bella Acker nodded. "Director, go ahead."

"Today we’re shooting from the late morning all the way to the sunset glow in the evening. This is actually meant to symbolize a person’s whole life. So our shots have to go with that, and we need you to interpret a woman’s journey from hazy, innocent youth, to the charm of maturity, and then to the calm depth of old age. For these three scenes, the products we’re showcasing will also be different, and the point is to let the consumers who see this MV commercial know that Kingston Group’s diamond brand has styles suitable for every age." The director added, "We’ve scheduled three days to shoot this MV, but the weather is so perfect today that I’m hoping we can finish it in one."

"Okay." Bella Acker nodded. "I’ll do my best to portray these three different stages."

"Thank you for your hard work." The director gave her a very grateful smile.

He was just a director who shot short MVs, several tiers below people like Director Simons, Director Ford, and Director Rowe.

Before Bella came, the director had gone through the dramas she’d acted in, and naturally also checked out the directors she’d worked with. He’d originally thought that when she came to shoot an MV, she’d put on airs, look down on a director like him and a small shooting team like theirs. He hadn’t expected her attitude to be very humble and extremely cooperative.

Nothing at all like those artists who act all senior after working with big-name directors and then look down on small crews.

The director had already prepared himself to coax Bella into finishing the shoot in one day, but after he merely explained how they would be shooting, Bella immediately agreed to cooperate, and the long speech he’d carefully prepared ended up completely useless.

Bella smiled and said, "This is what I’m supposed to do. Oh right, Director, where’s the male lead who’s acting with me?"

She herself could fully cooperate and try to rush the MV in one day, but the male actor partnering with her might not agree. If they didn’t communicate well, it would just delay the shooting schedule.

"Huh? Ms. Acker doesn’t know yet?" The director looked puzzled.

Bella froze for a moment. "Know what?"

"Mr. Sinclair is personally starring in this MV and acting opposite you," the director said, confused. "Didn’t Mr. Sinclair tell Ms. Acker?"

Seeing how the two of them were holding hands yesterday, they were clearly in the middle of a passionate romance. The director had assumed Damian Sinclair would have already told Bella about this himself, so he hadn’t had anyone else inform her. But looking at Bella’s slightly dazed expression now, she clearly didn’t know a thing.

Bella really didn’t know. When she’d asked Damian before, he’d deliberately kept it mysterious and refused to say anything. She hadn’t expected he’d be the one acting opposite her.

Bella blinked. "Does President Sinclair even know how to act?"

The director smiled. "Ms. Acker can rest assured. The male lead doesn’t have many scenes. A few close-up shots are just of him looking at the female lead with a gentle, affectionate smile. You’re the one doing the acting here, Ms. Acker; Mr. Sinclair only needs to let his true feelings show."

Acting is acting—what do you mean he just needs to "let his true feelings show."

Bella’s ears grew a bit warm, but on the surface she pretended to be very calm. "Okay, then just call me when we’re ready to start."

"Mm, once we’ve adjusted the camera positions and the pathing, we can begin. Ms. Acker can take a short break first." The director nodded.

Bella smiled, walked over to the side, and tugged on a staff member, asking quietly, "Excuse me, where is President Sinclair?"

"He’s over there getting changed." The staff member pointed to a tent not far away.

"Thank you," Bella said, and headed over.
