MANAGER
"I don't have a daughter like you."
Chairman Lee's echoed inside Anna's head even after she had left the conference. She could not believe how harsh his words had been but then again they had never said good words to each other.
After her mother had died, he did not even come to her funeral, it was as if she never existed to him in the first place. Anna had taken that as the first big rift between them. Although it was large, she still held hope that it could be repaired but how wrong she was.
His words today completely tore the remaining pieces. This time no matter what, they had nothing to do with each other.
Filming would begin in about a week. She did not have a manager much less an agency so the updates were given to her directly from Travis.
During their conversation, she expressed her gratitude for how he had stood up for her back then.
Anna prepared well. The script had already been given to her a month before so she had already familiarized herself with every crook and turn.
The day of filming fast approached. She entered the studio and everything else was ready. What they were doing today was shooting promotional pictures in their costumes to post on their respective social media pages and also some test shots between the cast.
General Rong often wore male clothes as a disguise and was rarely seen in public unless it was during the war. Anna was dressed by the stylists and when she walked out of the room, everyone's eyes fell on her and never looked back; it was like looking at General Rong in the flesh.
Her clothes were simple and her hair was tied up in a simple bun. In her hand, she held a sword and simplistic make-up was applied to her face. It was written that when General Rong wore this disguise, her face which was beautiful, to begin with, held a hint of devilish handsomeness.
All the ladies who saw her fell in love with her at first sight. Their faces would blush deeply upon making eye contact and the general liked acting in such frivolous behavior because she often stated that the life of a general was boring and seeing such flowers was much better.
This was what happened when the princess laid eyes on him on the streets during one of her strolls. Her heart beat madly and before she could see him clearly he vanished into thin air, this was the scene they were shooting today.
Lilian had arrived already and was at the moment standing at the side with her assistant holding up an umbrella to protect her from the sun's rays. Her outfit really fit that of a pampered princess. She was staring madly at Anna.
They had been dressed at the same time and even got out of their trailers at the same time yet the one who got the most attention was Anna, she was fuming mad.
To make the matters worse the first test shot she was doing was between the two of them and the scene was her falling in love at first sight, she was boiling inside.
"Anna Lee and Lillian Ye come over please." Director Zheng motioned for them to come closer to him for the instructions. He looked towards Lillian and was satisfied then towards Anna and was even more satisfied.
Director Zheng was one of the most acclaimed directors in the country. His films were extremely popular. He did not speak much and only gave them slight directions.
Everything was ready. The camera and sound were set and even the extras stood in their positions.
Director Zheng yelled,
"Action"
