Chapter 213

Shea was a little excited, but her tone was calm. “Okay, I can sign the contract now.”

Stella smiled. “The contract is still in the works. But, once it’s all set, I’ll have Felicity send it over to you.

I have a skit to film today, so I may need to ask you to come in and work.”

Felicity was taken aback. “What skit?”

On their way there, Stella told Felicity about Lena asking her for help last night.

“I’ll play the role for the good of the public without pay,”

Felicity was all for it after hearing about it. “This is a great opportunity. Typically, skit jobs don’t pay much, but doing it for a good cause is a rare chance to make an impact. Plus, when one of your drama series becomes popular, people will look into your past. Having this on your resume will give you a big advantage. I’m not saying we’re building a persona for you, but once you’re in showbiz, you have to play by the rules. We need to be careful. Just because we’re not hurting others doesn’t mean that others will act the same way.”

It was common for people to try to dig up dirt on a newly famous artist. Sometimes, what they found was not even that bad, but others with malicious intent would blow it out of proportion. This could lead to a major negative impact on the rising star’s career.

Shea said, “And, prominent channels don’t just judge a movie based on its quality and message. They also take a closer look at the actors involved. Actors with public welfare performance experience are highly preferable, and if there are any similar events, they’ll give those actors with clean backgrounds the first chance.”

Stella felt that she had made the right decision to help Lena.

“Are you going to join that variety show, The Sound of Film and Television?”

“No. Have you forgotten the contract I signed with Daniel? I’m no longer allowed to accept any commercial job offers in the name of Dusk Galaxy during filming,” said Stella as she thought, “The script given for that variety show is too outrageous. I don’t feel like putting on a show with those bunch of people.’

Felicity felt that it was a pity to let go of the job offer, but she respected Stella’s choice.

Felicity left midway during the car ride to the company, while Stella and Shea continued on to the set without her.

Upon arriving, Stella realized that the crew’s budget was indeed limited. The filming location only covered a few rented houses in a small community.

The crew consisted of only a dozen staff members, excluding the actors, with a few additional members pulled in by the CSI team for support.

Despite the small size and tight budget, the crew was dedicated, and they warmly welcomed the actors.

Over the past two weeks, many actors had come for a shoot. What Stella did not know was that none of them were as gorgeous as she was.

The CSI team members were swamped with work and had no time for dating So, when the single guys saw a pretty girl like Stella, of course they were warm and welcoming However, Lena’s words dispelled everyone’s enthusiasm. “She’s married. Get back to work.”

When those guys had left, Lena asked, “Were you okay last night? You can actually come tomorrow.”

Stella smiled. “I don’t have anything to do at home, so I came here to familiarize myself in advance.”

Lena said nothing further.

Stella had a great sense of the camera and understood what the director wanted. The filming went smoothly, and her lines were well delivered. It drew the audience in and even reduced the number of retakes required from her partner in the scene.

The director, who had been filming for half a month, felt that that day was the smoothest shooting day.

By the time the filming for the day had come to a close, the sun had begun to set. The director was thoroughly impressed with Stella’s performance and asked if she would be available for future shoots.

Lena was afraid that Stella would feel uneasy, so she declined the request on Stella’s behalf.” Mr.

Lane, she’s only here to help. Are you trying to exploit her?”
