Chapter 992

Gilbert always had a blank expression on his face as he said, “The script calls for a strong punch; that’s the only way to make it look real.”

“If Mr. Duffy thinks an actor who has accurately grasped the character’s psychology and integrated into the role is not good, but instead the actor in your arms, who is affected and has bad acting, is good, then this play really doesn’t need to be filmed.”

“Yes, I ponder the script and characters every day until late at night, while the woman in your arms, I’m afraid, hasn’t even bothered to read the script properly,” Vonnie sneered.

Johnathan was furious, glaring at Gilbert fiercely.

Gilbert always had a poker face, and he glared at Vonnie.

Vonnie just ignored him, rolling her eyes and looking up at the canopy above.

Gilbert impatiently said to Quentin, “Alright, move aside. Don’t delay the progress here. Everyone is still waiting to finish work.”

Quentin pursed his lips and looked at Kimberly with reluctance.

Kimberly tugged at his sleeve, tears in her eyes, truly looking pitiful.

Quentin suddenly asked Gilbert, “Can we use a stunt double for this scene?”

“What, a stand-in?!”

Gilbert’s reaction was quite significant.

Chapter 922

It should be noted that Gilbert generally doesn’t have much emotional fluctuation, indicating how much he dislikes the word “stand-in.”

Gilbert said, “In the movies I direct, not a single one uses a stunt double.”

“If you want to use a stand-in, just let the stand-in play the female lead.”

One sentence left Quentin speechless.

This time, it seemed like he really had no way out, so he could only shout at Vonnie again, “If you dare to use such force again, I won’t be polite to you.”

Vonnie looked at Gilbert with a sense of grievance: “Mr. Russell, you see, I strictly followed the script, accurately controlling the character’s emotions and actions, but instead I received threats from the producer. Oh, can this play still be filmed?”

Quentin:…

Johnathan chuckled on the side, “My Vonnie is quite a little trickster.”

I laughed and said, “Both of you are clever.”

Gilbert was thoroughly fed up and said to Quentin, “Either you quit this play, or I’ll go find a new producer. Either release our leading lady and return to your visiting area.”

“If you continue to make trouble like this, no one in our crew will be able to go off work!”

The last sentence can be described as brilliant, and instantly everyone in the crew started to complain. Who wouldn’t want to leave work early, but they had to stay because of the two of them?

Chapter 992

Even though Quentin was the president of the production company, the crew still didn’t want to give him any face.

Quentin’s face looked extremely ugly, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had to let go of Kimberly and said in a low voice, “Then you just do it well and try to get it done in one go.”

Upon hearing this, Kimberly felt even more wronged, crying and saying, “Quentin, what do you mean? Are you also going to say that my acting is terrible? I was beaten, and that’s fine, but I didn’t expect you to say that to me.”

“No, Kimberly, that’s not what I meant,” Quentin quickly explained to her. “I’m just afraid you’ll get hit again.”

“Okay, you go out, alright?” Gilbert said calmly, word by word.

Quentin glanced at Kimberly with a heartache, then turned back to his own visiting area every three steps.

Gilbert kept complaining. “With all the time spent arguing, we could have filmed five retakes, really!”
