Chapter 42 Strong Love
"Liam, you can see that Eva's hand is injured, I didn't mean to be mean to her, she needs to recuperate properly at home. You don't want her to have scars in the future, do you?" Caleb was rarely good-natured in coaxing Liam.
William was young but sensible and was less angry now that he knew his dad was doing it for the good of Eva.
For dinner, Caleb specially instructed the kitchen to make porridge and light dish and asked William to call Eva down for dinner.
In fact, seeing a table full of dishes that avoided spicy food, Eva opened her mouth, but said nothing, eating her own meal without saying a word.
"I don't mean that you won't be allowed to film. Rather, I will not stop you when you have recovered from your injury." Caleb took the initiative to explain that it was actually William who had just requested. Knowing that she would not get anywhere by arguing with him any further, Eva nodded and continued eating.
Seeing how well behaved she was, Caleb thought his persuasion had finally worked.
At night, Eva got nothing to do, so she browsed on Twitter. She didn't expect her injury on the set to be exposed by her fans, and she instantly gained countless fans. The number of fans was rising, and Eva fel that the injury was worth it.
[Lemon]: "Oh, my God, my Goddess is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. Love her."
[BBBBaby]: "I originally thought she is in the entertainment industry just because she is pretty, but now it seems that there are few people with such good hearts in the entertainment industry. I am her fan now." [WanderGirl]: "I'm not a fan of hers but I was still blown away by seeing that scene with my own eyes, she is heroic."
The internet had been buzzing about it for a while.
Sheila watched as the words on the internet all fell towards Eva's side, the phone in her hand was about to be deformed as she squeezed it, staring hatefully at the news that was all over the internet. "Don't worry, you won't be complacent for long, people will not remember such a trivial matter." Sheila ordered indignantly to the assistant standing next to her, anger and resentment in her eyes. You've only been here for a few days and you want to steal my thunder, you have to see if you have the ability to do so!
Because the scene that took place was witnessed by many fans on the spot, and some even posted the video online, it caused quite a stir, and many journalists came to the set to block her in order to catch news.
Thinking to take this opportunity to raise awareness and promote the crew, Mel agreed to the reporter's interview.
When the reporters were interviewing, Sheila, who was the first female, consciously stood in the front. Sheila already had a lot of popularity and topics to talk about, and she and Eva were from the same company, so of course the reporters would not let go of this opportunity.
"Sheila, you are in a set with Eva, how do you feel about her?" The reporter from Entertainment Daily asked Sheila.
"She is a new actress, it's inevitable that she has some disadvantage, but it's all understandable, and besides, I'll take care of her, I'm a junior in any case."
Sheila's seemingly seamless answer was actually saying the fact that Eva's acting skills were not good and there was still a lot of room for improvement.
When Mel heard Sheila's reply, the corner of his eyebrows raised upwards. Sheila was really good at taking advantage of opportunities.
"So, Miss Sommers, what do you think of Eva's move this time, which has been appreciated online?" As Sheila had just finished answering, another male reporter started asking questions.
"In fact, Eva did do a good job this time, but I think, as an actor, the most important and fundamental thing is to act well and use the work to prove the strength, which is the basic quality as an actor." Sheila thought she answered perfectly, successfully directing the reporter's questions to the film and television work, and also alluding to Eva's lack of dedication, which could be said to have killed two birds with one stone. Next, the reporter who was supposed to interview Eva was completely led to ask questions about Sheila's role as the first female.
However, Mel had already seen through Sheila's mind and left before the interview was over.
Eva would not really stay at home. The moment Caleb left the house, Eva went to the set.
Mel didn't expect Eva to come to the set today, "Eva, how is the injury on your hand? Why don't you take a good rest at home for two days before coming here?"
"It's nothing serious, director, a small injury, no need to rest at home on purpose." Eva saw that the director had come over to care for her and replied with a smile.
"That's good, if you don't feel well, tell me and you can go home."
"Okay, thank you, director."
Because today's scene was important, Mel had arranged for preparations early on. Originally, he wanted to shoot today's scene on another day, but since Eva was here, it went ahead as originally planned. The scene was prepared and Eva put on her make-up and changed into her clothes just in time to start filming.
Eva played the role of Princess Jayde, a princess of a fallen country who lived her life to avenge and restore her country, and was torn between revenge and love. Before she met Alexander Whitehead, a general of the new dynasty played by Adam, she lived only for revenge, but after she met love, her obsession with revenge was shaken in her heart. The two fell in love and in the end, Princess Jayde failed to defeat the new dynasty, but died by the sword of her beloved.
The scene to be filmed today was Princess Jayde's final scene. In a duel, the general played by Adam and Princess Jayde played by Eva were on opposite sides, and in the final moment of life, Princess Jayde originally had the chance to kill Alexander, but with a single thought, she ended up dying under his sword, which was a kind of relief.
Eva began to brew emotions with her eyes closed, and when she opened them, her eyes were completely devoid of the usual tenderness, hatred and heartache were given full expression by a single look in her eyes.
Princess Jayde travelled to the place she had agreed with Alexander, the dust flying all the way as she arrived on horseback, her horse galloping, the calm and easy manner in which she raised her whip, and the vague anticipation within her heart were all shown to perfection. Mel did not spare Eva's facial expression and hurried to give a close-up.
At the edge of the cliff, Alexander stood with his hands behind his back, having waited for a long time. When he heard the sound of horses' hooves, his body shook, but he quickly returned to his normal self.
A showdown was inevitable. As a general of a nation, it was his natural duty to guard his family and protect his country, and he could not be sorry for who he was and his conscience, only for her. "You are here." Only three words, they exude a strong sense of helplessness and heartache.
"Yes." Princess Jayde looked at General Whitehead in the eyes and replied word by word, smiling coquettishly, that smile stunning Alexander's eyes in the sunlight.
They were speechless.
But the eyes of both were filled with intense love and reluctance for each other.
It was meant to be a battle to the death, a doomed end.
The two men just stood facing each other, without a single line, neither of them starting to make a move, as if they had engraved each other's appearance deep in their minds. But it made the rest of the crew cry.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
