Chapter 19. Antic.i.p.ation"CEO, It looks like we will be able to get away with it."
A producer said to CEO s.h.i.+n with a smiling expression.
"I am worried about the shoot at first but Director Zhu really had outstanding ability, all the actors were also amazing."
CEO s.h.i.+n said with a rare smile on his face. All of his anxiety was now gone.
Some days ago, he was cursing the Director but now, he was showering him with praises.
It was because the investors were happy about the shooting. It means that they will be able to get more money for the marketing.
As he was talking cheerfully with the producer, a man came to them with hurried steps.
"CEO, there is a problem."
He was the leader of the marketing department, s.h.i.+ Shang.
"What happened now, was anything troubling the investors?"
"No, CEO, It"s not that. They were happy with the shooting till now but they, they wanted to see the next scene."
"Is there a problem if they wanted to see the next scene?"
"Yeah, there is a big problem."
s.h.i.+ Shang said with a white pale face.
"Is the director going to shoot the final scene, next?"
When s.h.i.+ Shang nodded, the producer face also went pale. He was smiling a second ago but now, he looked like a man in debt.
"Why are you two making that face? Is there a problem if the director wanted to shoot the final scene next?"
CEO s.h.i.+n asked with a confused face.
"I will explain to you, CEO. Actually, the final scene is a scene which is greatly supported by the acting of the person who is playing the role of Jay."
"Are you talking about that rookie actor. I saw his acting and he was not bad. I even felt that his acting was quite good. Even Director Zhu liked him."
"I know that but the last scene is not like any other scene. It"s a scene in which Jay showed his most crazy side till now. It was a scene in which the actor had to do something more than just acting."
When s.h.i.+ Shang explained the matter with a distressed face, CEO s.h.i.+n finally understood the matter.
"So, you are saying that there is a high chance that the rookie actor will mess up the scene and disappoint the investors."
Both the producer and s.h.i.+ Shang nodded at those words. They were worried that Ren will disappoint the investors and they would be dissatisfied with the shooting.
It wasn"t like they did not trusted Ren"s acting but even a veteran actor would find it hard to do that scene perfectly.
They were already in a tight spot with the investors.
"We had to took the investors out of the set. Don"t let them watch the next scene."
CEO s.h.i.+n with a crumbled expression. He felt like life was playing with him. Just a moment ago, he was happy but now, his mind was again filled with anxiousness and worry.
He just wished that they would be able to convince the investors.
* * *
"Can"t we go after watching the next scene?"
s.h.i.+ Shang expression crumbled when he heard that but he didn"t lose his complexion and tried to convince the investors.
"There is not much to see in this scene."
"But I heard from a staff member that the next scene is really important."
s.h.i.+ Shang inwardly cursed the staff member who had said those words as he tried to stop himself from frowning.
"Although, the next scene is important, the director will mostly edit it. So, there"s no need to stand here and watch it."
"Really, but I wanted to see the rookie actor act."
"Huh??"
s.h.i.+ Shang let out a confused voice when he heard that.
Other people also chimed in.
"I heard from someone that his acting is impactfull."
"Yeah, I also heard that but when I saw him act, he didn"t seem like that."
"I am curious as to how he will act."
The investors were curious about Ren"s acting as they had heard many staff members talked about it.
s.h.i.+ Shang could not do anything at that moment. He can just sigh and pray that Ren will surprise him.

"Hey, why are you all lining up, here. Didn"t you have to rest?"
a.s.sistant Director Ming said to the actors who were lining up to watch the next scene.
"Can"t we just stay here for a bit? I wanted to see the final scene."
"Yeah, the final scene is special. I wanted to see how the rookie acts in it."
"I had also heard that he got the role because of his flawless acting."
All the actors were curious about Ren"s acting. You could even say that they were jealous.

They were all the actors in their 30s and 40s who had been working hard for a long time but now, a rookie had surpa.s.sed them and got a prominent role.
That were curious as to how he will act.
"Just let them be. Many people want to see this scene."
"Everyone is curious as it is the final scene."
a.s.sistant Director Ming turned around when he heard those voices, it was the voices of Jiang Wan and Zhang Yufeng.
They were both late as they have something to do in their respective companies.
"It isn"t like I didn"t want them to see the scene, I just fear that Ren will feel pressurised if he saw that many people watching the scene."
a.s.sistant Director Ming said those words in regards to Ren"s age. He was still a 20 year old kid who should he in university.
It"s normal to feel pressure by the audience. It was justifiable to think like that as he didn"t knew Ren"s mental age.
"Well, I can understand that but he will not be able to rise to the peak if he got pressurised by only that."
"Yeah, it will be a good experience for him."
Both Jiang Wan and Zhang Yufeng said simultaneously. These two had became close after their previous brawl.
After that brawl, they had met few times because of their work at the production company and have dinner together.
They had became quite close after that.
"Truthfully, I also want to watch him act out these scene."
"Yeah, this is the scene which will decide the fate of the movie."
The next scene was the ending scene which was the most impactfull. All the movies depend on their ending the most.
Several movies had been ruined because of their ending, so filmmakers would give much focus to the endings.
And the ending scene in a spy thriller was more important as it was the scene in which the real story starts to unfold.
"I am curious as to how Ren will do this scene."
a.s.sistant Director Ming thought as he glanced at Director Zhu who was checking all the cameras and the audios.
Everybody on the set where antic.i.p.ating the last scene. More specifically, they were looking forward to see Ren act.
Some were curious, some were looking forward to his failure and some just wanted Ren to surprise them.
