Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 286 Co-acting with Gilbert Kooper

They did another take for the first scene.

This time, Kisa tried to get herself in the zone by gently closing her eyes. She had a sad and yearning expression.

Nevertheless, the director still ended up shouting "cut".

However, Roy was the problem this time.

The director chastised him, "What are you doing? You've been an actor for years. How could your acting skills be worse than a freshie's?"

Roy lowered his head respectfully, "Sorry, sir."

"What's the use of apologizing? Sigh. Are you all trying to piss me off today? I never should've accepted this production."

"Please calm down, sir. We'll definitely do our best for this production," Kisa said frantically.

Suddenly, they heard laughter come from the neighboring production crew.

Celandina laughed the loudest.

"Tsk tsk tsk. I'm about to die of laughter. Why continue acting if you can't even do something as basic as a kiss scene? Just go home."

Lea was furious. She shouted, "Stop being so insolent. Why don't you go do it instead? That's if you've got what it takes."

"You!"

"Hah. While we don't have what it takes, at least we aren't holding back our male co-star."

"That's right. Roy is an A-list celebrity after all. Do you all see how he's being held back by this woman who has no talent in acting?"

"This just goes to show that working with someone who doesn't know how to act will screw up the production."

The director felt annoyed watching the two production crews argue with each other.

"Whatever. I'm so pissed off. Let's just call it a day."

'But it's only noon, isn't it too early to call it a day?' wondered Kisa.

She quickly stopped the directors, "Please let us do a few more takes? We need to finish this take. Otherwise, it'll affect subsequent production flow"

"Since you know that it'll affect the subsequent production flow, could the two of you try a little bit harder when you're acting?" The director sounded incredibly frustrated.

Kisa nodded determinedly. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"I'll definitely do my best for this take today."

Roy quickly chimed in, "That's right, let's try a few more takes."

The director huffed angrily, "Alright, let's do a few more takes. If we don't get this right, I'm quitting. However, if Mr. McCray puts the blame on me, you all had better clear my name; you are the ones not working hard."

And so they did another take for the first scene.

"Cut!"

"Cut!'

"Cut!'

...

The director was about to go mad after shouting cut four consecutive times, and so was Kisa. Meanwhile, Roy was about to cry.

The laughter from the neighboring production crew grew louder.

Roy's assistant turned anxious and started complaining about Kisa.

On the other hand, Lea was furious and complaining about Roy.

The two of them then started a heated argument.

The set erupted into chaos.

The director leaned into the chair weakly. His rugged face was completely devoid of emotions.

"The two of you are…amazing. Go find a new director. I can't do this."

"Sir..." Kisa was about to cry.

She continued anxiously, "Please give us another chance."

Roy also looked at the director with a pleading expression.

However, the director waved his hand weakly, "I want to live a long life, so please stop stressing me out."

Suddenly, a husky voice pierced through the laughter and shouts on the set.

"Well, then. I'll teach this actor how to act in a kiss scene."

Everyone on set promptly fell silent.

They all turned to the source of the voice. To their surprise, Gilbert had run over to The Legend of Luna's set and was standing behind Kisa.
