"Cut!" the director finally called, his voice filled with a mix of relief and surprise. "That was great. Great job, everyone."
"Alright," the director called out, trying to regain some control. "Scene 23, Take 5. Action!"
Ethan stormed towards the bed, his face a jumble of shock and guilt. The girl now in the part of the female lead stood at the other end of the street, her stance defiant and proud. The scene played out, and she approached Ethan with a raw passion that hadn't been there before.
"You think you can hide this from me?" she screamed, her voice booming across the set. "How long has this been going on?"
Ethan's character stumbled, trying to find words, but her fury was relentless. She walked over to the bed and raised her hand to slap the girl on the bed. The force and timing were perfect, giving a strong, realistic hit without actually causing hurt.
