Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: Such Bad Acting
The next day, Annie Anne got up two hours early, especially to rush to the film set.
Fearing that something unexpected might happen on the way.
The director was taken aback when he saw Annie Anne; he had seen dedicated actresses before, but never one as dedicated as her.
She was even more diligent than the set crew.
The reshooting went very smoothly, and soon they reached the last scene.
This scene was a face-off between Annie Anne and Mia Carter.
It was a segment with immensely rich emotions, truly testing the actors’ explosive power.
At the director’s command, Annie Anne immediately got into character.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze had transformed into that of a heinous villain, an invisible force of intimidation that made Mia Carter slightly startled.
In fact, there was a moment when she forgot they were acting.
"You think you can save him like this? Dream on!"
Annie Anne narrowed her eyes, the smoky-style makeup already accentuating her eyes, making them look longer and more beautifully sculpted.
Between her brows and eyes, she added a touch of enticing charm.
"I..."
Facing Annie Anne like this, Mia Carter suddenly felt her mind go blank, unable to recall any of the lines from the script she had reviewed in advance.
"Cut!"
The director poked his head from behind the camera, speaking in resignation, "Mia, familiarize yourself with the script some more, and we’ll shoot again in five minutes."
In front of so many people, being outperformed by a minor actress like Annie Anne made Mia Carter feel incredibly embarrassed.
If only she had studied the script more yesterday and memorized all the lines by heart.
Five minutes later.
The second take began, and Annie Anne was still performing normally, but Mia Carter’s performance fell short.
Every time Annie Anne lifted the emotional intensity to a climax, Mia Carter would fail to remember her lines.
It completely derailed the entire scene.
Eventually, the director became exasperated, telling Mia Carter that as long as the emotion was in the right place, she could say the lines as they came to her.
Annie Anne massaged her sore arms, growing increasingly impatient in her eyes.
This was their tenth take, but Mia Carter’s performance was getting worse each time.
In the end, not only could she not remember her lines, but she also couldn’t convey the emotions.
She felt entirely dominated by Annie Anne, unable to work properly just by looking into her eyes.
But she couldn’t say it out loud.
To admit it would be to acknowledge that Annie Anne, a newcomer with hardly any experience, was better than her.
Finally, Mia Carter’s agent couldn’t bear to watch anymore, he went up to the director and whispered a few words, causing the director to show a troubled expression.
After thinking it over, he still nodded.
The agent walked directly onto the set and gave everyone a deep bow,
"Our Tiana is still running a fever today, not in her best condition, so I’m going to take her home now. Thank you all for your hard work today."
After speaking, he intended to take Mia Carter away.
"Such poor acting skills, and you can’t memorize your lines, I doubt there will be any difference next time."
Annie Anne’s cold voice rang out, speaking bluntly.
"What did you say, my acting is bad?"
That remark immediately ignited Mia Carter’s fury, and she charged towards Annie Anne in a rage.
"This scene shouldn’t be difficult, right? Just take any extra from the set to play the female lead, and I think she’d do better than you."
The words of Annie Anne were precisely what everyone present was thinking.
Mia Carter was so angry her eyes seemed to spit fire, shaking off her agent as she charged directly at Annie Anne.
"Annie Anne! I think you’re insane! What the hell are you talking about!"
