My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1676
Night of Destiny
Chapter 1676 I Knew She Had It in Her
âWhat? You dare to do it but canât stand other people criticizing you for it?â Lisa raised her chin
condescendingly.
âIâve been in this industry long enough to know there are only ever a few tricks simple stunt doubles like
you can use to climb to stardom.â
âYeah? Well, Jessie wonât stoop to that level! Sheâs far too pure for that!â Lexie retorted.
âCare to share how you get to where you are now, then?â âYou and I are barely acquainted, let alone
friends.
So why should I tell you?â Jessie monotoned, taking Lisa aback.
âAs if youâre worthy enough to be my friend, Silverstein.â âHuh, itâs Jessie who doesnât want to befriend
you.
To think a person can be so shameless!â Lexie fired back again, causing Lisa to turn grimly and glare at
her.
âDonât get cocky, Silverstein.
The higher you go, the harder you fall.â With that, she left smugly.
When Jessie stared at Lisaâs retreating figure, she didnât sense the animosity from the latter but instead
reflected on her incompetence.
The reason Lisa dared to mock her right now as she stood here was that she wasnât good enough yet.
In this industry, only after one had enough creditable work and fans and was hardworking and aspirant
enough could one ignore other peopleâs derision.
âYou alright, Jessie? Donât let her get to you.â Lexie comforted her.
âIâm good.
She canât get to me; she will only motivate me.â At that, she hooked her arm around Lexieâs.
âCâmon, letâs go! Help me with the script after breakfast.
I want to memorize it as quickly as possible.â âAlright.
When you become successful, just stand in front of her.
I guarantee youâll be able to piss her off without a word.â Lexie declared.
The noblest way to slap someone in the face was to surpass them.
The following morning came in the blink of an eye, and it was the commencement of the shoot.
Jessieâs makeup was perfect as she stood in front of the camera for the first time.
She strolled across a flowery field under the green screen while the fan blew at her, causing her long
hair to flutter gracefully.
The character she was currently playing was a young celestial servant snatching a moment of leisure.
âCut!â The cameras stopped rolling following Vincentâs cue, and Jessie looked somewhat nervously in
the directorâs direction as she stood by the field.
âThat was great, Jessie, but can we do a couple more shots? Try and express it through different
emotions.
Youâre a carefree young celestial servant, and your greatest pleasure is to steal a sip of your masterâs
liquor.â
At that, Jessie acted the scene again, and sure enough, the sensation was more intense than the first
shot.
Though many members of the crew surrounded her, being a stunt double for years had helped her
develop her composure.
Julian didnât have any scenes for the day, so he didnât show up on set.
It wasnât that he didnât want to but that he knew his presence would intangibly add to Jessieâs stress.
So, he decided not to show up altogether.
Sure enough, Jessie was wholly cheerful when Julian wasnât on set.
She had become acquainted with the crew and also acted alongside a few old troupers naturally and
with ease.
Vincent had been pretty nervous that day, but after seeing how well Jessie had done in the first scene
and that it was exactly what he was looking for, he was elated.
In fact, she was super telegenic and the embodiment of Estelle.
The thing about Vincentâs directing was that he preferred to keep things simple with no added effects
and whatnot.
Thus, his movies always had a sense of reality, as if the audience was there with the characters.
Julian was in the hotel when he received Vincentâs video recording of Jessieâs acting.
The young woman in the recording was dressed in a fantasy costume, and her two dangling
headpieces made her look like an adorable, otherworldly, naive girl who was full of hope for life.
Jessie had captured the character perfectly.
âI knew she had it in her,â praised Julian as he chuckled.
The filming continued until the evening.
As they wanted to release it by mid-year, the shoot was pretty rushed.
Although Jessie felt a little overwhelmed by the quick pace, she had already thrown herself into the
character.
