Chapter 1499 A Scheming Person
At this point, Vincent stopped shooting the scene. He then gave Jessie some instructions, saying, “You’ll be swept away by Hazel’s whip. Julian is worried that you’ll get hurt, so he’ll save you using a secret technique. After that, he’ll spit out a mouthful of blood. Although he doesn’t love you now, he still tries to protect you instinctively.”
Jessie listened to him attentively and looked forward to shooting the next scene.
After the scene where Jessie had been swept away, she watched Julian act on the side. Since there wasn’t any help he could use, his acting skills were put to test.
He had done a great job of portraying how dejected the Demon Lord felt while exhibiting an unrivaled power. In the end, he fell to his knees and spat blood. Hazel rushed over and supported his weight.
“Cut!” shouted Vincent, and they were done with this scene.
Meanwhile, Hazel wasn’t willing to let go of Julian’s arm. Noticing Julian’s displeasure, his assistant came over and told her to release him as Julian needed to reapply his makeup.
There was another shoot at night. The scene was about the young celestial servant—portrayed by Jessie—and Julian heading to an inn. They had to go somewhere else for the scene.
To make it easier to shoot the scene at night, they only took off their costumes and kept the wigs on their heads. Julian’s assistant helped him tie up his long hair. Clad in a black T-shirt, Julian appeared at ease.
Just then, he walked up to Jessie and said, “Let’s have a meal together.”
“Do we have time for that?”
“I ordered some takeout. The food will be here soon.”
“You bought food for me as well?” Jessie was delighted. “Thanks for treating me so well, Julian.”
“I promised your parents I’d take care of you, after all.” Julian came up with an excuse.
Still, Jessie was pleased that he was willing to take care of her. Then, they went to a lounge where there was no one else. His assistant came over and put down the takeout that was still warm and fragrant. There were also dessert and fruit.
Presently, Hazel was getting some rest in her caravan. She was displeased at the fact that Jessie added an extra scene barely a few days after they started shooting the film, for the scene of her falling with the Demon Lord hadn’t been in the script.
She heard that Jessie intentionally tripped over and fell with Julian so that the director would include that scene.
“She’s really something.” Hazel snorted.
“You have to be careful since she might surpass you, Hazel. She’s been gaining popularity pretty quickly even though she’s a new actress.”
“Do you think she can surpass me? In her dreams!” Hazel refuted dismissively.
“Fabian will be on set soon. How lucky is Jessie? Even though it’s her first movie, she gets to work with two of the hottest actors.” Jealousy was written all over the assistant’s face.
“I told you to snap some photos. Did you do it? Spread them around. Even if this movie falters, it won’t affect me one bit. However, it’ll destroy a new actress like her.”
“I did. Do you want me to send those photos to the media?”
“What are you waiting for? Perhaps Julian’s fans will protest and force her out of the film set. Send them to the media now,” Hazel ordered with a dark expression. She was known to be a scheming person in showbiz.
The night scene was interesting. The young celestial servant portrayed by Jessie was bewildered and adorable. There was a shot where she would take a peek at the Demon Lord while he took a bath. They had told everyone else to stay away, so not many people could see Julian’s naked upper body.
On the other hand, not only could Jessie see his body, but she would also have to act right in front of the bathtub.
“I’m sorry, Demon Lord. It wasn’t intentional.”
“Get lost.”
“Alright, I’ll leave right away.”
She was supposed to leave the place, but the moment the Demon Lord detected the celestial soldiers’ presence from a distance, he told her to stay in the bathroom and set up a barrier as he was worried that she would be taken away.
The young celestial servant obediently stayed in the bathroom, but she was told to help clean up the Demon Lord’s wound on his shoulder.
Through the lens, the director could see that Jessie’s face was as alluring as that of a celestial being, and her eyes were clear yet puzzled. There was no denying that her beauty could soothe the heart of the beholder.
At this moment, the young celestial servant was Jessie, and she was the young celestial servant. She and the character had become one.
On the other hand, it was an awkward scene for Julian. He was excited when the young celestial servant applied some medicine to his wound, but he had to appear dispassionate at the same time.
