"What I want to say is that none of us should be responsible for Miss Melody''s ident."
"What are you saying?"
Not only was Shaun shocked by her words, but even the producer dropped the cigarette from his hand.
"What?"
Tracy did not think there was anything wrong with her logic. "Think about it. Who insisted on not using a stunt double? Didn''t you, Mister Shaun, try to talk her into using a stunt double before the shoot? Didn''t the safety personnel advise her as well? Miss Melody might say it''s for the sake of the movie effect, but we all know she did it out of her own ego.
"Although it''s heartbreaking that Miss Melody had such an ident, it was her choice to dedicate herself to art. None of us should be responsible for someone else''s choices, right?
"If Miss Melody had listened to Mister Shaun''s advice in the first ce, she''d still be here with us instead of lying in the hospital. Although using a stunt double wouldn''t be as effective as her doing the scene herself, our crew has always adhered to the principle of safety first, and Miss Melody is well aware of that.
"Considering all these factors, I believe we don''t need to feel too guilty about Miss Melody''s ident. Besides, Miss Melody has good luck, so she''ll be fine. What do you all think? All the things I''ve said make sense, right?"
Shaun found what Tracy said so absurd that it was somewhat amusing, but surprisingly, many people in the room seemed to feel justified by her words. Her opening remark about ''none of them should be responsible for Melody''s ident'' injected a sense of confidence back into them.
Indeed, everyone was on edge after Melody''s ident, but Tracy''s words acted as a morale booster. After all, Melody had chosen to go into the water herself, despite knowing she could not swim. Why should they be held ountable for something she insisted on doing?
They were all adults there. As adults, everyone needed to take responsibility for their own choices.
Shaun did not even have to say anything yet for Monica-who could not stand it anymore-scoffed and said, "ording to what you''re saying, we shouldn''t take responsibility if anything happens to any of the cast or crew members in the future?
"Meaning to say, we shouldn''t impensation from the productionpany if any of us gets into an ident? How can our safety be guaranteed if we don''t look out for each other?"N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Monica''s words snapped the other crew members out of their daze. They only echoed Tracy''s words because Melody''s ident did not involve them directly.
In fact, all they needed to do was to think about what it would be like if they were in Melody''s situation and someone came along to tell them the crew had nothing to do with it.
Tracy remained silent and stared at Monica from head to toe. ''How dare she speak up for Melody when she''s only a side character in the movie?''
"Sorry, but who are you? I''ve never seen you on the set before," asked Tracy rudely.
Although Monica only yed a minor supporting role in the movie, the truth was she had been working in the entertainment industry for many years. Thus, she had built up a strong mental resilience. She could remainposed even when confronting someone like Tracy, whose poprity was on the rise.
