"It''s no big deal," Ste said pretentiously.


    A domino effect began to take root. The surrounding staff started to praise Ste one after another. Ste was like the brightest star in the crowd, constantly receiving praise from those around her. As for Melody, it seemed like her only function was to serve as a contrast to Ste.


    "Melody, let me see the script," Ste said, reaching out to take the script from Melody''s hands.


    Melody hesitated for a moment, then ced the script down, avoiding her hand.


    Ste scoffed in her heart, feeling that Melody was unappreciative. However, she maintained a pleasant smile on her face and said, "Melody, are you not allowed to give the script to others to see? No problem. You can read it out to me, then!"


    "Thank you, Miss Ste, for being willing to exin the film to me. However, I''d like to ponder over it myself a bit more, to see if I can bring out my own style in the performance," Melody politely expressed her gratitude and declined Ste''s offer.


    Melody''s refusal caused Ste''s expression to darken slightly, but she did not need to say anything. After all, the people around her said everything that needed to be said.


    "You still want to do it on your own? It''s already been the whole morning, and not a single scene has been shot well."


    "A big celebrity is willing to exin the script to her, and she still refuses. How arrogant can she be?"


    Melody felt the words stabbing into her as she stood still. Needless to say, she was embarrassed and ufortable.


    Just when she felt utterly ashamed-wishing she could find a hole to crawl into Jelena appeared in front of her, saying, "Melody, Mister Shaun is looking for you."


    Jelena brought Melody into Shaun''s dressing room.


    Shaun let out a resigned sigh when he saw Melody.


    "I heard about what happened outside just now."


    "Sorry, Mister Shaun." Melody had not handled things well and could only bow in apology.


    Shaun asked her to sit and spoke with a weighty tone, "Don''t worry about it. There are inevitably issues when filming for the first time. Even those whoe from a professional background make mistakes, let alone a neer like you."


    She understood that Shaun meant tofort her, but she found herself unable to feel better. She felt really guilty for taking up everyone''s time.


    Seeing her in this state, Shaun spoke again, "Ste''s first film was directed by me. Don''t be fooled by how nonchntly she talks about it now. She had just as many retakes in her first film as you did." Melody blinked at this, and she looked up at Shaun. "Mister Shaun, you don''t have to lie to me just tofort me."


    "It''s true. I''m not making up stories about her just tofort you." Shaun took out the script and flipped to the scenes where Melody appeared. "Melody, this movie is called ''War Song'', and the name of the female lead is Athena, symbolizing the Goddess of War. She is the soul of this film. That''s why my expectations are a bit higher. Let me exin this scene to you properly now."


    Shaun earnestly exined to Melody the concept he had whening up with the scene, as well as the meaning it should convey. He even had Melody act it on the spot, providing one-on-one adjustments. After Melody was called away by the director, Ste was left with nothing to do. She wanted to showcase her acting skills by exining the scene to Melody in front of everyone. She did not expect that Shaun would take Melody away, thereby embarrassing her.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Frustrated, Ste lost herposure and made up an excuse to have the crew take her to the makeup room to rest. Sitting in the makeup room, she became more upset as she thought about the situation.
