The crew around him remained on edge, unwilling to approach as his anger simmered down.
Finally, his eyes swept over to Tilda, but she quickly averted her gaze, pretending to be absorbed in something else.
A moment later, Brewster summoned her.
Tilda approached with a smile, confident that the call had indeed been from Karina.
Brewsters face was tight with irritation as Tilda approached.
You needed something? she asked sweetly.
Tilda, we need to revise the upcoming intimate scenes between Valeria and Adrian, he said, his expression sour.
Tilda feigned ignorance.
Need to be revised? How? You mean the scenes need to be cut? Brewster gave a curt nod. The investors want to maintain Valerias dignified image.
They feel the intimate scenes could damage her reputation, so theyre insisting on a revision.
The intimate scenes had been one of the major selling points of the film.
Removing them would strip away some of the allure.
Tilda understood the unspoken rules of the game.
The investors always had the final word, and their whims couldnt be ignored.
Tilda offered a gentle smile.
I understand, Brewster.
Dont worry, Ill remove the scenes.
She knew that when Brewster was in a bad mood, he often took it out on the crew during filming, creating a tense atmosphere.
Softening the blow with a thoughtful gesture would be in everyones best interest.
Brewster raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
Oh? And how exactly are you going to revise the script? Tilda gave a thoughtful smile.
We could play with lighting and add red drapes in the scenes to create a sense of mystery.
Sometimes, suggesting more than we show leaves a stronger impression-dont you think? Brewster nodded, his expression brightening.
Absolutely.
Go ahead and adjust the script as you see fit. Will do, Tilda replied, quickly reworking the scenes as planned and handing the script back to Brewster for approval.
As he reviewed her changes, a pleased smile spread across his face.
Youve certainly got a knack for this.
Just what Id expect from an award-winning screenwriter.
Tilda returned his smile.
Think we could apply the same approach to the remaining intimate scenes? Of course, Brewster agreed without hesitation.
By the time Tilda finished revising the script, the morning had slipped away.
She took a brief break to check her phone and sent a quick message to Clive.
Mr.
Shaw, how is the plan for replacing Rita going?
