CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 164 CHANGE OF PLAN

George Taylor quickly took off the headpiece that was blocking his view and turned to Clara Bennett, asking, "What exactly happened just now? Why did you suddenly change the original plan?"

It was obvious that he intended to further explore the significance of this impromptu performance.

However, before he could say more, applause erupted from all around, as everyone was stunned by the unexpected yet highly effective performance.

Ethan Smith couldn’t contain himself and rushed out from the crowd, his face full of an irrepressible smile and excitement: "That segment just now was fantastic! Most of the footage can be used directly, with only a few close-up details to supplement. Clara, I guess this isn’t your first time participating in film shooting, right?"

Clara Bennett seemed a bit at a loss by the director’s sudden praise. She blinked, looking somewhat confused at him, and responded, "Director, your words have left me a bit bewildered."

Ethan Smith grinned, "Your acting absolutely surpasses the level of an average novice."

If she really is a novice, wouldn’t that make her a genius?

Clara Bennett was aware of her unique situation.

Her experiences were different from others, even a bit mysterious.

She couldn’t clearly remember what she had gone through before being reborn; some things seemed to be ingrained in her bones and mind, becoming a habit.

This habit made her exceedingly different in many ways, sometimes even surprising herself.

She couldn’t quite understand it either.

All she knew was that during the long, dark period from leaving this world to returning, she was finally reborn.

In those years, she seemed to wander in endless night, without direction or purpose, the only support being her perseverance for the past.

Acting was something deeply embedded in her.

Smiling, Clara explained, "I was not in good health as a child and couldn’t do any physical work, so I loved watching movies and TV shows. I particularly enjoyed studying the roles, often imitating them. Every time I saw exciting scenes in a movie, I would watch them repeatedly, learning the actors’ every move. I didn’t know how well I was acting, as I understood a lot of theory but had little practical opportunity. It wasn’t until this year that I finally worked up the courage to truly enter the entertainment industry."

Ethan Smith chuckled and said, "Your knowledge is more than just theoretical; it’s clearly dedication overcoming clumsiness, with a touch of divine talent."

Ethan Smith’s words were full of affirmation. He thought Clara Bennett not only had a solid theoretical foundation, but also demonstrated excellent talent in practice.

In the entertainment industry, those who stand their ground and make a mark do so through a combination of talent and diligence.

In showbiz, good acting is a major advantage, and having looks combined with superb acting is simply remarkable.

Such qualities almost ensure an artist stands out in this fiercely competitive environment.

Upon hearing this, George Taylor immediately got up and said, "I just had my eyes closed. Let me go and take a look too."

He was filled with curiosity about Clara Bennett’s acting skills, wanting to know what kind of performance had garnered such admiration.

Clara followed along, and when George saw Clara’s expression in the film, he immediately felt his heart moved.

Her eyes seemed to have magic, each glance conveying different emotional waves, the profound and genuine feeling making him deeply moved.

If someone with good acting skills and a bit of pride wanted to find a partner, they would certainly choose someone with equally good acting abilities.

At that moment, George Taylor decided Clara Bennett was the ideal partner.

She possessed not only outstanding acting skills but also a unique aura, making George feel that being with her would be a great joy and satisfaction.

From that moment, George decided to pursue Clara.

He made a secret vow that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would make Clara his beloved.

George sincerely praised, "Bennett, your future is surely very bright and promising."

Faced with such praise, Clara remained calm. Since her acting had been recognized by everyone, at least she wouldn’t hold back, and might even showcase a performance comparable to Nell Sue in certain aspects. This way, at the very least, the film wouldn’t fail because of her.

This is already a pretty good outcome, especially since this film was a labor of love invested by her elder brother.

Although her initial intention in participating in the filming of this project was to prevent her brother from repeating past mistakes, stopping him from venturing down a perilous path again, the developments thus far, with all the complex motives, still hoped for a good ending.

Ethan Smith excitedly said, "Oh, I thought today, being Clara’s first day officially entering the role for shooting, we might have to work until midnight. But everything seems to be progressing so smoothly that we might finish today’s tasks soon and get to go home for a good rest!"

A shy young writer quietly opened Weibo and typed a few words on her phone, praising how her sister was not only incredibly handsome but also stunningly beautiful, truly a cool and beautiful woman.

Following that, the crew smoothly completed the shooting of multiple angles and scenes, with everything going swimmingly.

However, as night fell, everyone appeared somewhat exhausted, with both body and spirit needing timely replenishment and recovery.

Coinciding with lunchtime, several high-end trucks filled with gourmet dishes drove in and parked on a wide expanse not far from the set.

The site coordinator responsible for logistics immediately ran over to report to the director: "Director, the food has finally arrived."

The director glanced in the direction of the trucks, then, with a puzzled tone, asked, "Why are they all Mercedes-Benz? Did you pre-arrange this?"

Hearing this, the crew quickly explained, "No, no, we didn’t specifically request that brand for delivering food. It was actually arranged in advance by Nell Sue."

"Oh, I see."

After hearing the explanation, the director nodded thoughtfully, "Nell Sue... she’s the actress, right?"

The assistant director added while standing by, "That’s correct, Director Smith. She is one of the third lead actresses."

After the truth was revealed, everyone understood that the occurrence was due to a site worker closely connected to Nell Sue’s agent, who had insider information about the star preparing to provide a lavish lunch for the crew.

Upon receiving the notice, they immediately canceled the standard boxed lunches originally planned and replaced them with the gourmet dishes prepared by Nell Sue.
