Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346: Looks Familiar
"Nowadays, how many people genuinely strive for their dreams? I don’t know when it started, but the barriers to entry in the entertainment industry have gotten lower and lower. And yet, despite the low threshold, the income remains high. It’s no wonder so many people are racking their brains trying to squeeze into this circle."
After saying this, Annie Anne unexpectedly curled her lips into what resembled a self-deprecating smile.
But in the end, Annie Anne shifted the topic she had brought up.
"Oh, I already spoke with the crew’s cameraman earlier. Luckily, the crew is only on a half-day break today, so the cameras are still on set. We can go check them out—maybe they captured something useful at the time."
Charlotte Thompson nodded at Annie Anne, and the two immediately headed to the set.
By this point, the props at the set had long been cleared away. Unlike the last time Charlotte visited, now there were only several cameras stationed at different corners.
Since the prop collapse didn’t happen during filming, Charlotte and Annie Anne didn’t check the two main cameras used during shooting. Instead, they opted for the remaining ones, systematically transferring the footage to the computer to start reviewing.
"These are some interviews that might be edited into the behind-the-scenes extras for the drama later," Annie Anne said to Charlotte as she watched the video.
The sheer volume of recorded footage meant Charlotte and Annie Anne would need a considerable amount of time to go through it.
"This part is from when you arrived; it’s a segment of behind-the-scenes material. We’ll have to scroll forward a bit to get to where you and Riley Thompson perform the scene together."
Annie Anne pointed to the video’s progress bar. Soon enough, they reached the segment showing Charlotte and Riley’s joint scene.
"As an actress, Riley’s acting isn’t even as good as yours—an outsider. If someone’s going to join a production with backing, they should at least possess some skills."
Watching Riley’s performance on the video, Annie Anne couldn’t help but mutter a quiet complaint.
Truthfully, everyone in the production crew was well aware of the fact that Riley had joined the project thanks to her connections.
But such phenomena were the norm in the entertainment world, so it hardly surprised anyone.
The only thing that drew criticism from the crew was Riley’s subpar acting.
When she performed solo scenes before, Riley’s lack of skill wasn’t glaringly obvious. However, her performance opposite Charlotte this time was an outright disaster.
What’s more intriguing was how Riley and Charlotte shared such similar features.
A professional actress lacking professionalism, outshone by an amateur designer.
If word about this got out, wouldn’t everyone find it hilariously absurd?
Charlotte, however, paid little attention to such matters and instead focused on Riley’s face in the video, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.
Just as Charlotte was about to skip the segment, she suddenly seemed to think of something and paused her actions.
Noticing Charlotte’s reaction, Annie Anne gave her a curious glance.
"What’s up? Did you notice something?"
"Nothing, really. It’s just that Riley’s performance style feels a bit familiar," Charlotte replied, shaking her head.
Particularly during Riley’s positioning and movements, some subtle gestures struck Charlotte as oddly recognisable.
It was as if she’d seen them on someone else before.
