“Mr. Winthrop, this is a romance film that is set on campus. Nobody will watch it if there are zero intimate scenes to attract the audience!”
Aiden chimed in, his expression mirroring Callum’s.
He was against the idea to delete all the scenes and he would very well cry on the spot if Callum insisted.
Callum suddenly hung his head low as a glint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.
“I’ll do it.”
Callum volunteered to act.
Even Elspeth had a hard time believing her ears, let alone Aiden.
The next second, she burst into laughter.
“Callum? Acting? You can’t be serious!”
“What are you laughing at?”
Callum’s eyes bored into Elspeth and her laughter died down under his intense gaze.
“This is serious, Callum. You’re proposing to switch one of the actors. Did the director-“
He raised his brows.
“I’ll invest 100 million in the film. Is the offer enough to ask for a role in exchange?”
Aiden, who was feeling dejected a moment ago, looked overjoyed when he heard Callum’s promise.
“Of course, Mr. Winthrop! Now that you ask, I’ll gladly give you a chance to act. However…”
Callum frowned.
“What is it?”
“It’s only a supporting role. I wonder if it is what you need.”
Callum’s expression turned softer and evident relief emerged on his face.
“It’s all right.”
The original supporting actor was keeping quiet the whole time as he dared not voice out his anger. After all, he was well aware that he was incapable of competing against Callum for the role because Callum exceeded him in wealth and appearance.
The director gestured for the actor to leave. He immediately took the hint and left without a word.
However, the replacement of the actor made Elspeth uncomfortable.
The film was about a love story set on campus. To fit his character’s profile, Callum had to take off his suit and wear the school uniform.
He looked youthful in the school uniform. The way he commanded attention in his school uniform completely surpassed Blake, and Aiden immediately regretted his decision.
“Mr. Winthrop, what about this? Do you want to play the male lead? Since your presence is stronger than Blake, the effect might be astray from what I imagine it would be.”
Aside from Callum, Elspeth was also outshining Yelena. Even though the couple was only playing supporting roles, their acting skills and good looks beat Blake and Yelena, who were the main leads.
Callum cast a glance at the embarrassed Aiden and asked,
“Will Elspeth play the female lead?”
The director was taken aback but gave an honest answer.
“No, she won’t.”
“Then, I’m not interested.”
After he got rejected by Callum, Aiden turned to Elspeth and persuaded,
“Miss Lynnwood, if the supporting characters are getting more attention than the main leads, it might affect the show.”
The corner of her lips twitched.
“I don’t think so. After all, the story is aiming to attract fans to root for their favorite couple. There is no such thing as another character stealing the show. By the way, whose fault is it?”
Aiden was speechless at that.
Given the situation, he had no other choice but to continue shooting.
He had to admit that the chemistry between a real couple couldn’t be faked and it showed in the kissing scenes. There were twenty-three kissing scenes in total for the couple. Callum kissed Elspeth with heartfelt eagerness in every scene, and his dedication to showing his affection for his love made the onlookers blush fiercely.
The last scene was set in an ancient city. Thus, the crew had to borrow the venue from the crew of ‘Song of Viollenys’ to shoot the scene.
“Our last encounter ended in a fight. I doubt they’ll lend us the place.”
Elspeth narrowed her eyes.
“Now that Emma has been admitted to the hospital, it’s safe to say they aren’t shooting at the moment. They shouldn’t take up a public place without a good reason.”
Hesitation was written all over Aiden’s face.
“But they rented the space before we could.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to them.”
She stretched her arms.
“There are a few matters I plan to settle between us. Moreover, I haven’t received the apology I deserve.”
Callum was perspiring profusely.
“What are you up to this time?”
Meanwhile, Yelena was looking forward to it.
“Elspeth, I’m coming with you! Nobody can beat us if we work together.”
Max caught her by her collar and dragged her toward him.
“Yelena Sullivan, don’t even think about it!”
“Max Winthrop, I’ll break up with you if you do that one more time.”
The man chuckled.
“Are you dreaming in broad daylight? I never agreed to be your boyfriend.”
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“No way!”
She remembered the time when she got drunk and she asked him whether he wanted to become her boyfriend. He said yes!
“What makes you think we were dating the whole time, Yelena? I finally know why the crew has been whispering to each other with weird looks when they saw me. I assume you are the source of the rumors.”
Max was so angry to the degree that he was smiling broadly as he pinched her cheeks.
The girl pouted sadly.
“That’s because I like you. I thought you agreed to become my boyfriend.”
Now you mention it…
